386 Flip the table and kill Wang Jianguo.
Even if they racked their brains, they would never guess the truth: money! Hels had no intention of giving it.
The reason he agreed was merely a stopgap measure to temporarily stabilize Atlantis.
“Helena, after we leave, take your men and kill Atlantis and those mercenaries. No matter what conspiracy lies behind them, we cannot sit and wait for death. Otherwise, being too passive will be disadvantageous for us.”
Hearing this, Helena's heart trembled violently. To take action within the base, and to kill a Major General at that?
This was no different from seeking death. It wasn't that she couldn't kill him, but that she wouldn't be able to escape after doing so.
Hels's words meant he wanted her to sacrifice herself for the family. In the face of death, who could remain calm? Even she was no exception.
She looked up and stared intently at Hels, finally taking a helpless deep breath. “Fine. I hope you will treat my mother well. Also, since we are doing this, we must go all the way. Patriarch, I promise!”
After saying that, she turned resolutely to return to the base. To her, the current military base was undoubtedly an abyss; once she entered, there would be no way out alive.
Watching her departing back, Hels felt unwilling. He truly didn't want to sacrifice her, but things had come to this point, and it was a necessary move. Someone always needs to sacrifice for the family's prosperity.
It was just that she happened to be at the center of the storm. It was fate, and he was also very helpless.
“Patriarch, what do we do now?”
Hels did not answer. He just looked up at the sky and murmured, “The wind and rain are coming; the heavens are about to change.”
Hearing this, several people fell silent.
How could they not understand the meaning in Hels's words? Moreover, they had already harbored such thoughts.
“Notify all family members to execute the plan. And... contact the border.”
After giving the orders, he didn't say another word, got into the car, and quickly left this place that was about to descend into turmoil.
Inside the meeting room!
Wang Jianguo originally wanted to leave because staying here made him feel like a sheep among wolves, making him feel uncomfortable all over.
However, he was urged to stay by Atlantis. According to the other party, he was safest staying at the military base for now.
Thinking carefully for a moment and recalling what the butler had said to him, he felt that Atlantis made sense.
Twenty billion us dollars—if it were him, he wouldn't actually give it either. There would always be some resistance.
Better to... kill him, and that would be the end of it. Although it would offend Heavenly Palace Group, this was Cambodia, and that was the Hepburn Family's greatest source of confidence.
“Let's go, I'll take you to taste the delicacies of the military base.”
Just as everyone was about to get up and leave the meeting room, the butler behind Wang Jianguo suddenly received a message on his phone.
Seeing the information on it, the butler's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
“General Atte, your opportunity has come.”
Atlantis was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then quickly reacted. He was a member of S.H.I.E.L.D. and naturally knew what S.H.I.E.L.D.'s goal was.
“You mean...”
“Yes, that's right. The Hepburn Family has flipped the table.”
Everyone present had different expressions upon hearing this. Wang Jianguo and his group had solemn faces. Now that he knew more or less about the Hepburn Family, he realized they had actually flipped the table.
Did twenty billion us dollars push them to this extent?
No! It probably wasn't just because of the twenty billion us dollars. It was highly likely that they had been preparing for today for a long time.
Thinking about it this way, it was lucky they hadn't left the military base just now; otherwise, that old fellow Hels would probably have been the first to use him as a target.
While breathing a sigh of relief, his face suddenly changed. “Not good! If they flip the table, then wouldn't Helena...”
Before he could finish, gunfire erupted outside. Carrot Head and the others were the first to react. “Protect the boss!”
With that, they stepped forward to shield Wang Jianguo and Wang Jianjun behind them. However, the gunfire outside came suddenly and disappeared just as quickly.
In less than five minutes, everything became calm again, as if nothing had happened just now.
A few minutes ago, just as Helena wanted to lead the soldiers she trusted to execute Hels's plan, she was surrounded before she could even get near the meeting room.
This made her feel very bewildered. Why did they react so quickly? Why did they know what she wanted to do?
Why was it leaked? Did someone betray her?
As soon as this thought appeared, she repeatedly rejected it. The people on her side had never left her sight; how could they have had the chance to betray her?
Damn it, which step went wrong? How could they know the family's plan so quickly?
However, what she didn't know was that after Hels decided to flip the table, S.H.I.E.L.D. had already received the news.
Notifying the butler beside Wang Jianguo was merely to let him be mentally prepared and avoid startling Wang Jianguo and Wang Jianjun.
Helena looked at the countless muzzles pointed at them and knew the plan had failed. Not only her plan but the entire family's plan had failed.
The ending was known just as it began; the failure was quite abrupt. Although she didn't want to admit it, the enemy they were facing was a mystery.
She didn't believe the authorities had such capability, because the people the family had planted in the official system hadn't received any word.
In other words, The Chief was still being kept in the dark; he knew nothing about the Hepburn Family's plan.
“Company Commander He, you have quite the nerve.”
“Heh~ Since ancient times, the winner takes all. I don't want to explain anything, but... I won't be captured without a fight.”
After saying that, she raised her gun and pulled the trigger on those around her without hesitation.
Seeing this, her subordinates knew they were doomed tonight, so they simply fought back. Killing one was enough to break even; killing two was a profit.
With so few people, they naturally couldn't cause much of a stir. Coupled with the fact that there was no intention to leave any survivors, Helena and the others were quickly suppressed.
Not only that, all of her former subordinates were also purged.
After sweeping through the entire military base, a Senior Colonel then went to the meeting room to report the situation to Atlantis.
