The Black Swan Behind (Beauty of Fire)-Chapter 269

269 Power Loan

Beast Empire was the only group that had the lowest strength standard in The Deadly Square. Unlike the three other groups, Beast Empire never thought about whether their group would engage in a physical battle with another group or not.

In fact, Pablo had noticed it for a long time. He saw that Derric had never taken his group’s defence matters seriously. For that man, as long as he had many members and could ensnare multiple victims, it would be enough.

But Pablo never mentioned the matter to Derric because the Beast Empire’s weakness would eventually become his advantage.

The business run by the Beast Empire had a different type from other group businesses that tend to steal people’s goods. The Beast Empire had never focused on having a special area as a money field.

Beast Empire did have a main warehouse. However, they tend to search for victims in various locations. If the Beast Empire was forced to search for victims in the territory of other gangster groups, they would not hesitate to pay them some fee, exactly as Pablo taught; namely, the solution using money.

Beast Empire never came into contact with other groups because what they were looking for was different from what other groups were looking for. Therefore, Derric never thought that he should have members who were good at fighting. For him, there would be no fighting.

Emma was grateful that for the first battle of her group, they faced Beast Empire which had weak members.

Emma still remembered when she had to deal with Hell Gate, Creeper, and RJC which had trained members. According to Emma, ??the Beast Empire men were really nothing compared to the three groups.

The Beast Empire core team included Derric Hubbert, Juan Xavier, Rude Boy, Zac Tude, and Elbert Scarpsky.

.....

Zac Tude and Elbert Scarpsky had been successfully thrown out. Now, the members of The Black Swan were left looking for the rest.

Emma’s main target was Derric Hubbert, the chairman, of course. In war, the first person to be targeted should be the king. If the king had fallen, then all his subordinates would be distraught. There was no command and they did not know what else to protect.

But unfortunately, as Kathy already informed, Derric’s whereabouts were unknown. He was not in the warehouse they were attacking now.

In fact, this attack went a bit beyond the expectations of all the Black Swan core teams. They didn’t take into account that the Beast Empire members in the warehouse would be so many. However, it turned out that the Black Swan women could handle everything well.

“Everything’s cleared, Emma. Looks like we can release the captives,” Kathy said while paying attention to all the CCTV which showed the situation in various corners of the warehouse.

Emma nodded, then pressed the button on her mouthpiece to connect to all the team leaders, “Everyone, the cell door will be opening soon. Please return to your team and get ready for plan number two,”

“Okay, Emma.” Britney, Linda, Cecil and Ava answered.

Then the four girls immediately gathered the members of their team. Once they gathered, each team went to the cell wards to wait for the doors to open and evacuate the captives.

After everything was ready, Kathy opened all the cell doors, and the evacuation process was carried out as quickly as possible.

“Have you evacuated yet?” Nicko asked Kathy via voice message from the short message application they specifically use for communication between IT Black Swan and Jita Kyoei. free𝓌𝗲𝒃𝓃𝒐𝐯𝒆𝙡. 𝑐𝗼ｍ

“It looks like it will all be over soon,” Kathy answered.

“Am I still needed here? If not, I’ll join my friends,” Nico asked, for his itchy ass from sitting still. He wanted to go fight like the others.

“Well.. Let me ask our leader first,” Kathy replied.

Then the green-eyed girl reconnected with Emma. She asked what Nicko wanted to know. Then, since according to Emma ??everything would be finished, it seemed like Nicko didn’t need to be behind the computer anymore.

Suddenly, Emma, ??Troy, Calvin, and Ian’s network reconnected. It was Kathy who was in charge of connecting the three communication networks of the four people.

“We’ve burned the second warehouse. Maybe the firefighter will be here soon,” Troy said.

“The first warehouse too. We left all the Beast Empire men lying in the middle of the street,” Ian added.

“Haha.. Me too. There’s no place for them.” Troy laughed.

When they said they would burn the warehouse and its occupants, they were just joking. They would never kill anyone. Just beating was enough. There was no need to get your hands dirty by taking other people’s lives.

Beast Empire had already sent two waves of troops to help the members in their transit warehouses. However, Jita Kyoei was too strong. Now, all members of the Beast Empire had been tied up and placed on the street in front of the houses.

Jita Kyoei doused gasoline all over the buildings of the two warehouses and ignited the fire. Beast Empire’s human transit warehouses were on fire now, been eaten by the flames before the eyes of its own members.

Before the firefighter arrived because of the rising smoke, all Jita Kyoei members fled from the scene without leaving any trace.

Jita Kyoei was not afraid that there would be a case because of the arson. Since the Beast Empire was also a gangster group with a series of crimes, they couldn’t prosecute anyone in this case. In this dark world, no police could interfere.

Rachel saw a room whose door was wide open. She went inside with her eyes constantly on the lookout. Inside the room, she found a person dressed in all black and a mask covering her head.

“Is this Juan’s room?” asked Rachel, who had overheard the conversation Emma had with Kathy when she was in a fight with Zac Tude.

Emma nodded. “The documents aren’t here,” she said as she continued to unpack the desk drawers in the room.

“I’ll see if there’s a safe here,” Rachel said.

“Please,” Emma answered.

Then the two of them were busy checking the contents of the room. But still, they did not find what they were looking for; the personal data of the captives.

“Maybe the documents aren’t in this room. We should look in Derric Hubbert’s room.” Rachel said.

“I guess so. Or maybe they have another special room to store all the documents.” Emma shrugged.

“Just like the Creeper,” Rachel said to herself. Then she turned to Emma, ??”Have you met Juan yet?”

“Kathy said that he was out of this room. But after that, he disappeared from behind a door that didn’t have CCTV. Looks like the guy ran away,”

“I don’t know why, but I have a feeling he won’t run away. It looks like he’s looking for help,” Rachel said.

Emma looked at her confused. “A help? But, all of their members are in this warehouse. Where did they get any more help from?”

“Hey! Black!” Suddenly, a voice entered the leaders’ communication network. It was Troy’s voice.

“Yes?” Emma asked directly.

“Derric is in Jen Marrie Street. He’s heading to the main warehouse with Dragger’s troops,” Troy said.

Emma’s brows furrowed. “H-how come?”

Troy shook his head as he climbed onto his big motorbike. “I’m not sure. But one of my guys happened to be on Jen Marrie’s street. He witnessed it for himself; Dragger had about eighty men and was led by Derric Hubbert.”

Emma clucked her tongue. “This is bad,” she said as she looked at Rachel who could also hear the conversation.

“The evacuation must be completed quickly before they get here,” Rachel said.

Emma nodded, then got back to Troy. “All right. I will finish the evacuation as soon as possible. It seems that for this, we will need Jita Kyoei’s help,”

“I know. We’re heading that way.” Troy replied before disconnecting their communication.

“I don’t know if we can go out with all the documents. I heard Dragger has a great group of men,” Emma said to Rachel.

Then Rachel patted Emma on the shoulder once. “Don’t despair, Emma. We can do it. Now, let’s find Derric’s room. Maybe the documents are right there. I’ll tell the others to hurry up the evacuation.”

Emma smiled warmly, then nodded once. “Thank you very much, Rachel.”

Apparently, Derric had managed to persuade Pablo to lend him some power. Now, the Black Swan must race against time to get all the captives out and bring them to safety so they wouldn’t be recaptured by the Beast Empire.

After the announcement to all the team leaders, the evacuation process was accelerated because the Beast Empire was heading towards them. All the captives became somewhat panicked and rushed out as quickly as possible.

It did get a bit messy, but the process was quicker than expected. Of course, all the captives did not want to be caught again in the hell that had been their prison all this time. Making it out of that place was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. They would regret it all their lives if they missed it.

But actually, there was one more problem faced by the Black Swan. With all the captives released, someone had to take them all to a safe place. And to do that, it took a lot of people.

The basic plan of the Black Swan was actually very simple. First, attack the main warehouse until all of the Beast Empire men were knocked out. Second, evacuate the captives. Third, bring all the captives to a safe location.
