"Boom!"
On the street outside the hotel, there was a sudden loud crash.
At the same time, a fire flashed outside the window, which was dazzling.
Immediately afterwards, rapid gunshots rang out, completely tearing the peaceful night apart.
The fierce gunfire was also mixed with bursts of shouts, as well as the sound of fast running footsteps.
"Steven, someone downstairs tried to drive into the hotel, but hit the roadblock set up by the Ethiopian military police, and a fierce exchange of fire broke out between the two sides.
These masked guys also speak Amharic. Judging from this, they may be militants from the Tigray Front, which is not far from Tigray!
Due to the election issue, the Ethiopian government and the TPLF are at odds with each other. The TPLF is in urgent need of raising military expenditures. Perhaps this is why the TPLF attacked us! ”
Mattis's voice came from the wireless invisible earphones, reporting the latest situation.
After hearing the report, Ye Tian immediately said coldly:
"Leave it to the Ethiopian military and police to deal with the fighting outside the hotel. They have a large number of people and good equipment. I believe they can deal with sneak attacks by some armed elements.
Even if those militants break through the defense lines of the Ethiopian military and police, there are still heavily armed Israeli Mossad agents and members of the 13th Commando, and they should be able to hold on.
What we need to deal with is sneak attacks from the air, just like the small drone just now. Let everyone put on infrared night vision devices to facilitate combat.
One more thing, all the lights in every room we live in are turned off to avoid becoming a target, so everyone should pay attention to safety and try to avoid exposing themselves."
"Got it, Steven"
Mattis responded immediately and acted quickly.
As the order came out, the three parties jointly explored the rooms where team members and security personnel lived, and the lights immediately went out.
Except for the lobby and a few rooms on the first floor, the entire hotel was plunged into darkness.
In this way, the gunmen lurking in the darkness outside the hotel would not be able to tell which rooms were occupied by members of the tripartite joint exploration team and security team members, and which rooms were empty.
Of course they couldn't tell which room Ye Tian lived in!
Those guys who came for the treasure map lost their target in an instant!
After the lights went out, many security members of the tripartite joint exploration team took out their infrared night vision devices, wore them, and prepared for night battles.
The same goes for Ye Tian. He wore an infrared night vision device and looked at the dark night sky outside the hotel.
The situation in the night sky was relatively calm. Occasionally, there were only a few stray bullets flying across the night sky, leaving red trails behind.
Some of the buildings opposite the hotel are relatively short, and most of them are two or three-story residential buildings.
The tallest building has only four floors and is quite far from the hotel.
As soon as the explosion sounded, people living in those buildings turned off their lights as quickly as possible and moved away from the windows to avoid being exposed to disaster.
After a while, those buildings were plunged into darkness, with only a few street lights still on.
The fighting continued downstairs, the gunshots continued and became more intense.
Because it was dark and the light conditions were very poor, the battle turned into a melee from the beginning.
The Ethiopian army and the militants, who lack night vision equipment, can only fire wildly in the dark, and sometimes they cannot even distinguish between ourselves and the enemy!
Many security team members responsible for protecting the tripartite joint exploration team did not participate in the battle downstairs. Instead, they stayed in the hotel, guarded each floor, and stared at the night sky outside the hotel.
What everyone needs to be on guard against is not only the masked armed men trying to break into the hotel, but also the Ethiopian military police outside the hotel!
No one knows whether those Ethiopian military police will rebel against the enemy, take off their military uniforms, pretend to be armed men and rush into the hotel. After all, money is so attractive!
As Ye Tian expected, someone else used the cover of night to try to sneak attack from the air.
On the roof of a three-story building about three to four hundred meters away from the hotel, a flash of fire suddenly flashed, and someone opened fire towards the hotel from there.
A dense rain of bullets immediately came from a distance, piercing the night sky and heading towards the hotel.
"Bang bang bang"
At the same time as the gunshots were heard, the glass of some hotel rooms was also broken by bullets flying at high speed.
Fortunately, everyone was well prepared and had already taken shelter, and no one was injured.
At the same time, several small drones quickly took off in the distance and flew towards the hotel quietly.
However, the security team members guarding the hotel were already prepared.
As soon as those small drones took off, several electronic jamming guns on the roof of the hotel were already aimed at them.
Just wait for them to fly closer and they will be shot down immediately!
At this time, Ye Tian had already come out of his suite and was standing in the corridor with a gun.
There are no windows at both ends of this corridor, and there are armed security personnel guarding the elevators and stairwells. The corridor is undoubtedly the safest.
Not only Ye Tian, but also many of his company employees came out of their rooms and stayed in this corridor.
The walls on both sides of the corridor are made of reinforced concrete, and everyone is wearing Kevlar body armor, so they are safe!
Everyone has experienced things like this tonight many times and is already used to it!
So everyone was not too nervous, but instead talked and laughed!
What’s more important is that all the company employees who came to Ethiopia this time were men.
As early as in New York, everyone was taught how to use guns and how to protect themselves. Everyone has a certain ability to protect themselves.
It can even be said that these company employees also have a certain degree of fighting power and are by no means just lambs to be slaughtered!
They just don't stand a chance in the fight unless the armed security guards are dead.
Seeing everyone in this state, Ye Tian felt relieved.
"Who are these guys outside? They reacted so quickly. Are they the citizens of Gondar who hate the three-party joint exploration team, or someone else?"
"Yes, these guys reacted too quickly. We only discovered the priceless treasure map in the afternoon, and they launched the attack at night, as if they were prepared in advance!"
Many company employees are talking about it and are very curious,
"These guys who launched the attack are a group of masked armed men, speaking in Amharic. They should be Ethiopians, but whether they are religious extremists or local armed forces is unknown for the time being!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, and did not say that he was an armed member of the Tianren Formation.
While everyone was laughing and chatting, the fighting continued.
On the roof of the hotel, two snipers used night vision sights to quickly locate the gunman ambushing on the roof of the three-story building not far away, and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"Bang, bang"
With the sound of sniper rifles, the two gunmen who were ambushing on the roof of the building not far away had their heads exploded in an instant and flew backwards.
As soon as the two gunmen were killed, two more sniper rifle bullets flew through the air, continuing to harvest lives.
The few small drones that flew towards the hotel under the cover of night have also been locked and suffered fatal blows one after another.
As several electronic interference guns fired to interfere, the remote control signals of the small drones were immediately cut off, and they lost control and fell directly to the ground.
In a moment, several small drones hit the ground hard and exploded one after another.
"Boom, boom"
Amidst the huge explosions one after another, the battle in the darkness reached its climax.
The masked gunmen who tried to storm the hotel launched one of the most frenzied attacks since the fighting broke out.
They were driving four or five pickup trucks, speeding from different directions, rushing directly to the hotel gate and several roadblocks, intending to forcefully break through the roadblocks and rush directly into the hotel.
While driving and attacking, the masked gunmen inside and outside the car were shooting wildly, trying their best to suppress the Ethiopian military police guarding the outside of the hotel. The firepower was very fierce!
The Ethiopian military and police, who had not had much willingness to fight in the first place, were immediately suppressed by the fierce firepower and looked for places to hide!
Seeing that those pickup trucks were about to hit the roadblock, they might even rush into the hotel in one go.
Even at this time, the Israeli Mossad agents and the Thirteenth Commando who had been watching the show finally took action!
"Bang bang bang"
The windows on the second and third floors of the hotel, as well as numerous armored military vehicles parked in front of and around the hotel, opened fire violently at the same time, raining down bullets wildly.
Especially those heavy machine guns mounted on armored military vehicles, like crushers, ravaging the speeding pickup trucks with dense and terrifying bullet rain.
In the blink of an eye, the several speeding pickup trucks were riddled with holes, which was too horrible to look at.
This is complete suppression in terms of firepower, without any suspense!
In less than half a minute, those pickup trucks were completely scrapped, burst into flames, and then exploded one after another.
All the masked militants in the pickup truck have been killed, and they were even torn into pieces by powerful machine gun bullets!
Faced with this result, the remaining masked militants fighting on the streets could only retreat hastily.
The Ethiopian military and police who had just been suppressed became energetic again.
They came out of their hiding places one after another and began to chase the militants who failed to retreat.
While pursuing, they also looked back from time to time to look at the Israeli armored military vehicles, as well as the heavily armed Israeli agents and commandos.
Obviously, they were shocked by the sudden burst of strength from the Israelis, and also a little frightened!
Those Israeli agents and commandos did not pursue us. They always stayed inside and outside the hotel, never leaving!
This battle at night came very suddenly and went away very quickly!
After a while, the fighting outside the hotel subsided.
The street in front of the hotel and the main entrance of the hotel are in a mess, riddled with holes, and burning and exploding vehicles can be seen everywhere, just like a battlefield!
In the darkness in the distance, one or two gunshots could be heard from time to time, and they became increasingly sparse.
At this moment, Mustafa called and asked with concern:
"Steven, have you been injured or suffered any loss? Is that precious treasure map still with you?"
Ye Tian smiled and then responded:
"Don't worry, Mustafa, the parchment scroll is always with me, without any damage. No one among my men was injured, and there was no loss.
My armed security team basically did not participate in this battle. They just dealt with a few small drones and a few gunmen hidden in the darkness.
Who were those guys who attacked the hotel? Their reaction was too fast. They gathered a large number of people to attack so quickly. Their strength was impressive! ”
Mustafa on the other end of the phone obviously paused.
After a moment of silence, he said:
"The guys who attacked the hotel were all masked. We don't know who they are. We still need to investigate. Fortunately, there is no damage to the treasure map. This is the most important thing!"
Ye Tian is well aware of the relationship between the TPLF and the Ethiopian government.
This involves Ethiopia's internal affairs, as well as the hatred and conflicts between ethnic groups, and he doesn't want to ask more.
In fact, the Tiren formation who launched this night attack did not want to reveal their identity, so they chose to mask themselves.
If nothing else, there must be no documents proving their identities among those killed by the TPLF militants.
In the next joint exploration operation, the three-party joint exploration team is likely to go to Tigray, the headquarters of the Tiren Front, to cooperate with the Tiren Front!
The reason is simple, because Axum is in Tigray!
After informing each other about the situation, Ye Tian ended the call.
At the same time, the night attack in Gondar caused a huge sensation in Ethiopia and the outside world!
The first time they received the news, everyone was stunned and shocked!
In the blink of an eye, people feel that this is an expected thing and not worth making a fuss about!
Wherever that **** Steven goes, he will definitely cause huge waves and even bloodshed, but this time it’s Ethiopia’s turn, it’s Gondar’s turn!
Of course, the citizens of Gondar don’t think so.
While they were frightened, they also gritted their teeth with hatred, but there was nothing they could do.
The sporadic gunfire finally stopped.
At night, tranquility finally returned.
But the air in this city is filled with the strong smell of blood, the lingering smell of gunpowder smoke, and the smell of burning rubber!
After ensuring safety, many members of the three-party joint exploration team returned to their respective rooms and began to clean up the glass fragments scattered in the room.
During this period, the hotel is on high alert at all times.
The numerous security team members responsible for protecting the tripartite joint exploration team guarded the inside and outside of the hotel like iron barrels, and kept an eye on the surrounding movements, ready to respond at any time!
Fortunately, nothing happened again and everything was peaceful again!
……
One night passed, and it was a new day.
The burned car wrecks and numerous corpses on the street in front of the hotel have been dragged away by Ethiopians overnight.
But the dense bullet holes left on the buildings on both sides of the street, as well as on the hotel entrance and walls, are still vivid in my mind.
After the fierce exchange of fire last night, the crowd and media reporters who originally gathered near the hotel to watch the excitement have completely disappeared, and not a single person can be seen!
There are many more Ethiopian military police responsible for protecting the tripartite joint exploration team than yesterday, and they are all fully armed, as if facing a powerful enemy!
In the blink of an eye, it was already about half past eight.
Ye Tian is packing his things in the room and is preparing to set off later to continue exploring the Facilidas Castle complex.
At this moment, Matisse suddenly knocked on the door and walked in with a smile on his face.
After entering the door, the guy smiled and said:
"Steven, a very familiar old friend came to the hotel lobby downstairs. He wants to meet you and talk to you about something. You will never guess who this guy is!"
"Who could this very familiar old friend be? This is Gondar, Ethiopia. This is our first time here. What old friends will there be here? I really can't remember"
Ye Tian said curiously, confused.
Looking at his performance, Mattis did not hesitate any longer and immediately gave the answer.
"It's Cook from Golden Eagle Exploration Company in Los Angeles. That guy is still as cool as ever, dressed like a Hollywood superstar. The moment I looked at him, I thought I was dazzled?"
Hearing this answer, Ye Tian couldn't help being stunned.
After a moment, he said in surprise:
"Did I hear you correctly? How could it be that **** Cook? How could he be in Ethiopia? He came with us and didn't notice it before?"
"That's right, their company is also carrying out an exploration mission in Ethiopia. It is said that it is cooperating with the Amhara state government to explore a legendary gold mine.
And this exploration area is on the northwest plateau of Ethiopia, not far from Gondar. He heard that we came to Gondar, so he brought people here! ”
"I see, no need to ask, this **** is also trying to hide the treasure map in my hand. I know him too well!"
"That's definitely the case. Do you want to meet this bastard?"
"Since he is already here and we are all old friends, let's meet him, otherwise it will not look good on our face. You go and bring him up, but you have to search him!"
"Okay, Steven, I know what to do"
Matisse nodded and left the suite.
About ten minutes later, he walked in with Cook.
As Mattis said, this **** Cook is still such a coward.
Although he did not wear a custom-made three-piece suit this time, he did wear a pure white Armani suit, which was dazzlingly white!
On her feet were a pair of shiny gray patent leather shoes, tied with a narrow black tie, and her hair was meticulously styled, so smooth that even a fly would sprain his feet if it landed on it!
Those who know the situation know that he came to Ethiopia to explore gold mines; those who do not know the situation may think that he came to Ethiopia to do a catwalk!
Although Cook is very glamorous, his face is not very good-looking, with turns green and white.
Obviously, during the security check just now, this old friend was made difficult and even verbally humiliated by Mattis and others!
Seeing this old friend come in, Ye Tian immediately greeted him and said jokingly:
"Good morning, Cook, I didn't expect to meet you in Ethiopia. We are so destined. You are still as dazzling as before, like a superstar from Hollywood!"
Hearing this, Cook's face immediately turned red.
Of course he heard the sarcasm in the words. Unless he was an idiot, he wouldn't understand!
However, as an old fox with a thick face and a dark heart, it is his basic quality to do what he says!
In the blink of an eye, his expression returned to normal.
“Good morning, Steven, I didn’t expect to meet you in Ethiopia. It seems that God still cares about you and allowed you to discover another amazing treasure. It’s so enviable!
In fact, I have been paying attention to your company’s series of exploratory actions during this period. I have to admit that you are so lucky and have created one miracle after another! ”
With that said, Cook shook hands with Ye Tian.
Ye Tianke said with a smile:
"Man, it's not about my luck, it's about my strength!"
After a few false polite greetings, Ye Tian led his old friend into the living room and sat down on the sofa.
Also in the living room is David, who can be considered an old friend.
After sitting down, Ye Tian pretended to be curious and asked:
"Cook, I heard that your company is exploring a legendary gold mine in Amhara state. How is the progress? Have you found the gold mine?"
Hearing this, the muscles on Cook's face immediately twitched.
No need to ask, their exploration operation must not have gone smoothly this time, and they probably didn't even touch the gold mine.
With Cook's style, he would naturally not admit such a shameful thing.
"We have been in Ethiopia for more than a month and have been exploring the mountains of Amhara. Now we have a clear idea. It will not be long before we find the legendary gold mine!"
"That's great, I congratulate you in advance, it looks like you are going to make a lot of money!"
Ye Tian smiled and nodded, but there was a bit of disdain in his eyes.
After chatting for a while, Cook explained his intention.
"Steven, I heard that you found a precious treasure map in Fasil Gaby Castle, which points to the huge wealth that the Italian army plundered from all over East Africa during World War II!
This discovery has caused a huge sensation! There is no doubt that this is definitely a shocking treasure. The reason why I came here to find you is to see if there is any possibility of cooperation between our two companies?
You have just arrived in Ethiopia and are not very familiar with the situation here. We have been here for more than a month and are quite familiar with the situation here, especially the mountainous areas of the northwest plateau!
If the two of us cooperate, we will definitely be able to greatly improve the efficiency of exploration, speed up the process of exploration, and find this shocking treasure as soon as possible. As for how to distribute the gold and silver in the treasure,..."
He was about to continue, but was interrupted directly by Ye Tian.
"Cook, as an old and familiar friend, if you are here to reminisce, I welcome you very much. If you are here to discuss cooperation, there is no need to waste your breath. I do not intend to introduce any third party"
Before he finished speaking, Cook was stunned and looked quite embarrassed.
Although he expected that this would likely be the result, he did not expect that Ye Tian would refuse so directly without leaving any room.
Next, he plans to make amends and continue discussing this issue.
However, Ye Tian changed the topic and talked about other things.
It’s too much to say anything without speculation!
Under such circumstances, how can Cook sit down?
After a few casual words, the guy got up to say goodbye and left the luxurious suite.
Looking at his leaving figure, Ye Tian and David both laughed.
A few minutes later, Cook left the hotel with several heavily armed bodyguards.
As soon as the car drove out of the hotel, an assistant turned around and asked:
"Boss, how is the situation? Will that **** Steven agree to cooperate with us?"
Cook shook his head, gritted his molars and said:
"That **** refused very simply, without leaving any room! That **** Steven wants to monopolize this amazing treasure, but his appetite is still as greedy as ever!
How can it be that easy? This is Africa, not the **** America. I don’t believe it. I can’t beat a greedy **** like Steven in Africa!
In order to make up for the losses on this trip to Africa, we can only take advantage of this guy's idea. We must grab a sip of broth no matter what, otherwise we will not be able to explain it to investors!
Send someone to keep an eye on this **** Steven. If it’s hard to take action on his side, then keep an eye on the Ethiopian government’s exploration team and take action on the Ethiopians! ”
"Understood, boss, we know what to do"
The assistant nodded in response.
While talking, the two SUVs sped away.

At night, tranquility finally returned.
But the air in this city is filled with the strong smell of blood, the lingering smell of gunpowder smoke, and the smell of burning rubber!
After ensuring safety, many members of the three-party joint exploration team returned to their respective rooms and began to clean up the glass fragments scattered in the room.
During this period, the hotel is on high alert at all times.
The numerous security team members responsible for protecting the tripartite joint exploration team guarded the inside and outside of the hotel like iron barrels, and kept an eye on the surrounding movements, ready to respond at any time!
Fortunately, nothing happened again and everything was peaceful again!
……
One night passed, and it was a new day.
The burned car wrecks and numerous corpses on the street in front of the hotel have been dragged away by Ethiopians overnight.
But the dense bullet holes left on the buildings on both sides of the street, as well as on the hotel entrance and walls, are still vivid in my mind.
After the fierce exchange of fire last night, the crowd and media reporters who originally gathered near the hotel to watch the excitement have completely disappeared, and not a single person can be seen!
There are many more Ethiopian military police responsible for protecting the tripartite joint exploration team than yesterday, and they are all fully armed, as if facing a powerful enemy!
In the blink of an eye, it was already about half past eight.
Ye Tian is packing his things in the room and is preparing to set off later to continue exploring the Facilidas Castle complex.
At this moment, Matisse suddenly knocked on the door and walked in with a smile on his face.
After entering the door, the guy smiled and said:
"Steven, a very familiar old friend came to the hotel lobby downstairs. He wants to meet you and talk to you about something. You will never guess who this guy is!"
"Who could this very familiar old friend be? This is Gondar, Ethiopia. This is our first time here. What old friends will there be here? I really can't remember"
Ye Tian said curiously, confused.
Looking at his performance, Mattis did not hesitate any longer and immediately gave the answer.
"It's Cook from Golden Eagle Exploration Company in Los Angeles. That guy is still as cool as ever, dressed like a Hollywood superstar. The moment I looked at him, I thought I was dazzled?"
Hearing this answer, Ye Tian couldn't help being stunned.
After a moment, he said in surprise:
"Did I hear you correctly? How could it be that **** Cook? How could he be in Ethiopia? He came with us and didn't notice it before?"
"That's right, their company is also carrying out an exploration mission in Ethiopia. It is said that it is cooperating with the Amhara state government to explore a legendary gold mine.
And this exploration area is on the northwest plateau of Ethiopia, not far from Gondar. He heard that we came to Gondar, so he brought people here! ”
"I see, no need to ask, this **** is also trying to hide the treasure map in my hand. I know him too well!"
"That's definitely the case. Do you want to meet this bastard?"
"Since he is already here and we are all old friends, let's meet him, otherwise it will not look good on our face. You go and bring him up, but you have to search him!"
"Okay, Steven, I know what to do"
Matisse nodded and left the suite.
About ten minutes later, he walked in with Cook.
As Mattis said, this **** Cook is still such a coward.
Although he did not wear a custom-made three-piece suit this time, he did wear a pure white Armani suit, which was dazzlingly white!
On her feet were a pair of shiny gray patent leather shoes, tied with a narrow black tie, and her hair was meticulously styled, so smooth that even a fly would sprain his feet if it landed on it!
Those who know the situation know that he came to Ethiopia to explore gold mines; those who do not know the situation may think that he came to Ethiopia to do a catwalk!
Although Cook is very glamorous, his face is not very good-looking, with turns green and white.
Obviously, during the security check just now, this old friend was made difficult and even verbally humiliated by Mattis and others!
Seeing this old friend come in, Ye Tian immediately greeted him and said jokingly:
"Good morning, Cook, I didn't expect to meet you in Ethiopia. We are so destined. You are still as dazzling as before, like a superstar from Hollywood!"
Hearing this, Cook's face immediately turned red.
Of course he heard the sarcasm in the words. Unless he was an idiot, he wouldn't understand!
However, as an old fox with a thick face and a dark heart, it is his basic quality to do what he says!
In the blink of an eye, his expression returned to normal.
“Good morning, Steven, I didn’t expect to meet you in Ethiopia. It seems that God still cares about you and allowed you to discover another amazing treasure. It’s so enviable!
In fact, I have been paying attention to your company’s series of exploratory actions during this period. I have to admit that you are so lucky and have created one miracle after another! ”
With that said, Cook shook hands with Ye Tian.
Ye Tianke said with a smile:
"Man, it's not about my luck, it's about my strength!"
After a few false polite greetings, Ye Tian led his old friend into the living room and sat down on the sofa.
Also in the living room is David, who can be considered an old friend.
After sitting down, Ye Tian pretended to be curious and asked:
"Cook, I heard that your company is exploring a legendary gold mine in Amhara state. How is the progress? Have you found the gold mine?"
Hearing this, the muscles on Cook's face immediately twitched.
No need to ask, their exploration operation must not have gone smoothly this time, and they probably didn't even touch the gold mine.
With Cook's style, he would naturally not admit such a shameful thing.
"We have been in Ethiopia for more than a month and have been exploring the mountains of Amhara. Now we have a clear idea. It will not be long before we find the legendary gold mine!"
"That's great, I congratulate you in advance, it looks like you are going to make a lot of money!"
Ye Tian smiled and nodded, but there was a bit of disdain in his eyes.
After chatting for a while, Cook explained his intention.
"Steven, I heard that you found a precious treasure map in Fasil Gaby Castle, which points to the huge wealth that the Italian army plundered from all over East Africa during World War II!
This discovery has caused a huge sensation! There is no doubt that this is definitely a shocking treasure. The reason why I came here to find you is to see if there is any possibility of cooperation between our two companies?
You have just arrived in Ethiopia and are not very familiar with the situation here. We have been here for more than a month and are quite familiar with the situation here, especially the mountainous areas of the northwest plateau!
If the two of us cooperate, we will definitely be able to greatly improve the efficiency of exploration, speed up the process of exploration, and find this shocking treasure as soon as possible. As for how to distribute the gold and silver in the treasure,..."
He was about to continue, but was interrupted directly by Ye Tian.
"Cook, as an old and familiar friend, if you are here to reminisce, I welcome you very much. If you are here to discuss cooperation, there is no need to waste your breath. I do not intend to introduce any third party"
Before he finished speaking, Cook was stunned and looked quite embarrassed.
Although he expected that this would likely be the result, he did not expect that Ye Tian would refuse so directly without leaving any room.
Next, he plans to make amends and continue discussing this issue.
However, Ye Tian changed the topic and talked about other things.
It’s too much to say anything without speculation!
Under such circumstances, how can Cook sit down?
After a few casual words, the guy got up to say goodbye and left the luxurious suite.
Looking at his leaving figure, Ye Tian and David both laughed.
A few minutes later, Cook left the hotel with several heavily armed bodyguards.
As soon as the car drove out of the hotel, an assistant turned around and asked:
"Boss, how is the situation? Will that **** Steven agree to cooperate with us?"
Cook shook his head, gritted his molars and said:
"That **** refused very simply, without leaving any room! That **** Steven wants to monopolize this amazing treasure, but his appetite is still as greedy as ever!
How can it be that easy? This is Africa, not the **** America. I don’t believe it. I can’t beat a greedy **** like Steven in Africa!
In order to make up for the losses on this trip to Africa, we can only take advantage of this guy's idea. We must grab a sip of broth no matter what, otherwise we will not be able to explain it to investors!
Send someone to keep an eye on this **** Steven. If it’s hard to take action on his side, then keep an eye on the Ethiopian government’s exploration team and take action on the Ethiopians! ”
"Understood, boss, we know what to do"
The assistant nodded in response.
While talking, the two SUVs sped away.
