Living in North America, working from 9 to 5

Chapter 189 Asmodeus System

The entire rescue operation took less than ten minutes. Only a small part of the twenty Black Hawk helicopters was damaged, but it did not affect the flight.

The fleet quickly left the manor and flew into the night.

On the Black Hawk helicopter, Major Edmund handed Roy a headset. Roy took the noise-canceling headset and put it on his head.

Major Edmund's voice came through the headset:

"We are now 230 kilometers from the border. The fleet must fly at a low altitude to avoid Mexican military radars. We will drop you off at an air force base in California."

Roy said to Major Edmund: "I have two teammates waiting for me in Monterey. We have to pick them up before returning."

Major Edmund frowned. "The order we received was just to pick you up and bring you back, that's all. Monterrey is the third largest city in Mexico. We have to fly in the wild the whole way and cannot get close to the city."

Roy said, "I'm sorry, Major. We have to pick them up anyway. If you don't want to take the risk, you can drop me off somewhere closer to Monterey and I'll go there on my own."

"This..." Major Edmund looked embarrassed, sighed softly, and said, "Well, can they move?"

Roy said, "Okay, but I need to call them. Do you have a satellite phone?"

"Yes!" Major Edmund took out a satellite phone from his equipment bag and handed it to Roy. At the same time, the soldiers on both sides of the cabin door closed the cabin door, which could slightly reduce the noise by a few decibels.

Roy called Mahone's satellite phone from the helicopter.

The signal was very poor and intermittent, and due to the loud noise on the helicopter, Ma Hong couldn't hear it clearly.

Edmund took the satellite phone and loudly told Mahone a longitude and latitude coordinate, asking them to go there and wait. After repeating it several times, he finally made it clear.

Next, Major Edmund ordered 17 Black Hawks to return to the California Air Force Base according to the original planned route, while he himself took two Black Hawks to Monterey.

After about half an hour of flying, the pilot of the Black Hawk helicopter that Roy was riding in saw flashing lights in an open space.

"Major, I see Morse code!"

"That's it! Descend!"

A Black Hawk helicopter landed twenty meters in front of the car, opened the cabin door, and Roy jumped down. Mahone and Vanessa ran towards it against the strong wind.

Just then, Maggie also jumped out of the plane.

Coming to Roy's side, Maggie said loudly despite the huge noise: "I'm leaving. Goodbye!"

Roy asked loudly, "Aren't you going back with us?"

Maggie shook her head: "We are not on the same path!"

After she finished speaking, Maggie walked towards the car that Mahone and the others drove. When she passed by Vanessa, they looked at each other.

Roy looked at Maggie's back as she left, thinking of what Maggie had just said, "We are not on the same path..."

After picking up Mahone and Vanessa, the Black Hawk helicopter took off.

In the air, Roy watched the car driven by Maggie gradually disappear into the night, and many questions arose in his mind.

Who is she?

Since we are not on the same path together, why should you help me?
Air Force Base, California.

The three Black Hawks that returned later landed on the apron one after another. The pilots turned off the engines and the noise at the scene gradually disappeared.

Major Edmund pointed his finger fifty meters away and said, "That business jet was sent by the higher-ups to pick you up. You can leave now!"

Roy glanced at the small business jet parked not far away, then stretched out his hand and shook hands with Major Edmund: "Thank you Major Edmund for your personal rescue, and I look forward to our next meeting!"

Major Edmund smiled and shook hands with Roy.

Fifteen minutes later, the business jet taxied and took off from the runway of the California Air Force Base, gradually disappearing into the night...

Inside the cabin.

Vanessa looked at Roy: "Guzman?"

"Dead!" Roy replied.

Vanessa: “…”

It was not until now that Vanessa understood why Roy had gone alone to meet the furious Guzman. It turned out that he had a backup plan...

But there was one thing she didn't understand. Since Roy had the Delta Force as backup, why didn't he change his clothes and go directly to Honggao Prison to rescue those two people?

Why take such a big risk to find Guzman?

Vanessa has things she doesn't understand.

Roy naturally has one too, what does Irina mean by this?
On the other hand, Ma Hong was very relaxed and had nothing in his mind.

In order to resolve the doubts in her heart, Vanessa took the initiative to ask: "Roy, why did you go to Honggao Prison to rescue terrorists?"

"terrorist?"

Roy was stunned when he heard Vanessa's words.

"When you asked me about the situation between Mike and that guy before, I didn't tell you. Do you remember what he said at that time?" Vanessa asked.

Roy frowned slightly: "You mean... Holy light will cleanse sin, souls will eventually be free, evil cannot make the apostles surrender, the holy messenger will eventually bring light and freedom to mankind, and the iron will will become a new hope?"

Vanessa nodded: "Yes!"

Roy turned his body toward Vanessa, leaned forward, and stared at Vanessa's face: "Tell me what you know..."

Vanessa said, "That Mike is from New Hope, a terrorist organization with a very tight organizational structure. They call themselves Apostles of Holy Light. Very few people in the world know about them. They are very mysterious." "New Hope?"

Roy shook his head to indicate that he had not heard of it.

"It's normal that you haven't heard of them, because many of the things they do have been claimed by other open terrorist organizations. I don't know much about them, I just know that they often assassinate important figures in various countries, and they are very secretive."

Roy narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking: What does the organization mean by this? A level 6 mission is to rescue terrorists? This is obviously in serious conflict with the purpose of the organization.

Vanessa asked, "The woman who got off the helicopter with you is the killer who escaped over the wall of the Paz Hotel, right?"

Roy nodded: "Yes!"

"How did you two get together?"

Roy told Vanessa the whole process of going to Guzman's estate, meeting the female killer, and how they dealt with Guzman together.

"So, she's helping you."

"Yes!"

"In that case, she didn't come to kill you that night at the Pars Hotel. She might have wanted to get close to you."

"When I escaped from Honggao Prison, it was she who helped me solve the problems around me, and it was also she who shot and stopped the parking team."

Vanessa frowned slightly, thought for a moment, then looked up at Roy again: "Then she should also be from New Hope, together with Mike."

Roy turned his head to look at Mahone behind Vanessa and asked, "Mahong, have you heard of A New Hope?"

Ma Hong shook his head, indicating that he had never heard of it.

Roy murmured, "This is getting more and more interesting. She wants to get close to me, and that must be for Jacob's gift."

Vanessa smiled and said, "Yes, that's the only reason. Do you know why women always approach you?"

"Because you're horny!"

Roy: "..."

It seems that all doubts need to be explained by Irina.

Roy closed his eyes and decided to rest for a while.

After more than five hours of flight, the business jet landed at New York International Airport. The vehicle sent by Irina to pick it up had already been waiting in the VIP pick-up area.

Vanessa and Mahone leave separately.

67th floor, Tower B, Twin Towers, Manhattan, New York.

Office, inner room.

Roy sat on the sofa and looked at Irina: "I have completed the task, but I have some doubts in my heart..."

"Do you want to know about New Hope?" Irina sat on the sofa opposite Roy, took out a cigarette and lit it.

"And Jacob's gift." Roy went straight to the point. He had too many doubts in his mind.

Hearing Roy mention Jacob's gift, Irina paused for a moment, lowered her head to think for a moment, then looked up at Roy and said:
"Jacob's gift is the legacy left by your father. Since you already know it, it means you already know his identity."

Roy nodded...

"Did Vanessa tell you that?"

"Yes!"

"I didn't want you to know these things too early because you still need to grow up. Now that you know everything, just ask if you have any questions."

"What is Jacob's gift?"

"Evidence of scandals of major European and American families, including documents, photos, audio and video recordings; a list of all members of the Asmodeus system; funds scattered in major banks around the world to maintain the operation of the system; technology that has never been released, etc...."

"Is there any connection between the Asmodeus system and the organization?"

"Yes! The organization is just a part of the Asmodeus system and is responsible for the affairs of America."

"So, Jacob is the founder of the organization?"

"The original creator."

Roy narrowed his eyes slightly: "Does he have a code name?"

"Everyone calls him Asmodeus. He is the original founder and has no numerical code name, but the top leaders of the organization like to call him No. 0."

Irina continued, "Under the Asmodeus system, there are three secret organizations. One is us, another is in Europe, and the other is called New Hope."

"The man I went to rescue..."

"Yes, they are from New Hope, and they are one of them. After Jacob's death, if you want the Asmodeus system to continue to operate smoothly, you must get the inheritance. Whichever part gets the complete inheritance will become the dominant one."

"Since all three parties want to monopolize the inheritance, they are currently enemies. Why did you send me to rescue the people of New Hope?"

"New Hope is a traitor to the system. They want to destroy the Asmodeus system. I let you go so that you can establish a connection with them. Only you can do it. In the future, you can directly disintegrate and destroy them from the inside."

Taking a deep breath, Irina murmured:

"Roy, I want you to inherit the Asmodeus system."
