On October 21, Aurora-20s arrived in Madagascar and launched a 24-hour airstrike on the rebels defending the Bezaha area.

The next day early in the morning, with the cooperation of the Celestial Trade Foreign Corps, Madagascar?s 5,000 government soldiers launched their final offensive attack against the rebels supporting former President La Jonah.

The result was no suspense. More than 3,000 rebel soldiers and 571 mercenaries from Europe were killed, 81 went missing, and the wounded surrendered. In an underground bunker, Foreign Corps soldiers captured the former President La Jonah.

Arrow?s current President and Chief Instructor Diarra was also captured at the scene. After consultation with the Madagascar government, Diarra was secretly extradited to Xin, while La Jonah was handed over to military court.

On the same night, Madagascar?s President Bernard made a speech to the nation and announced that with the help of Celestial Trade, the civil war that lasted several months had ended. Arrow?s assets in Madagascar would be confiscated and former President La Jonah would be sentenced to death and executed at the end of the month.

After the rebels surrendered, the French side proposed to Madagascar with the hope to send the captive ?European citizens? back home. However, under the instruction of Jiang Chen, Bernard rejected this proposal and responded that human rights are absolutely not a reason for contempt of the law. No matter what the purpose was for the Europeans involved in the rebel forces, they must face allegations of murder and war crimes. Only those who deemed not guilty would be released from prison.

Madagascar was not planning to release anyone.

The purpose of Jiang Chen?s plan was to use these prisoners of war to put pressure on the European government and the politicians under the control of Freemasonry.

…

After Arrow?s President Diarra was extradited to Xin, he was immediately transported secretly to the New Moon Island military base. Jiang Chen made a personal ?visit?.

In the prison-like dark house, the man with a pale expression was sitting on a chair. The suit he was wearing was the same one he wore when he was caught. There was a golden ring on the table. The gold-engraved pattern depicted the number 30.

In the Freemasonry, the highest level was level 33; level 30 was a prominent figure in the Freemasonry.

Jiang Chen sat from the window across and smiled at him.

?It?s an honor to meet you, Mr. Diarra. I know you won?t be familiar with my face. I heard that you have a bad habit that when you plan for a mission, you like to stick the photo of the target with a dagger on the map. ?

Diarra laughed wryly.

?Just shoot me, why are you wasting time on a dead person??

If he was arrested by the Madagascar government, he would still have hopes of living. When he learned that he was extradited to Xin, his last traces of hope disappeared.

?We have a lot to talk about. Let?s start from two years ago.? After a pause, Jiang Chen smiled, ?Do you remember the first kidnapping mission against me??

Earlier, Country F had planned a kidnapping operation against Jiang Chen and hired Arrow. Nearly a dozen police officers were killed on duty and Ayesha was also wounded. It was at that time that Jiang Chen made up his mind to build an intelligence organization.

Diarra did not speak and looked at Jiang Chen silently.

?After thinking carefully, it seems that during the internal testing of the Phantom Helmet, unidentified armed forces penetrated the training facilities… but they were discovered by our people.? Jiang Chen looked at Diarra. ?I?m curious, when did you guys begin to monitor me??

?You mean the Freemasonry?? Diarra grinned.

?Yes,? Jiang Chen nodded.

?Why should I tell you?? Diarra ridiculed.

?Just because I can let you live,? Jiang Chen leaned back in his chair, fingers crossed before him, and stared at his eyes. ?I can also make you die.?

Diarra?s throat moved, but his eyes did not waver.

?I know what you are worrying about. If you confess to me, your family in Europe may suffer unexpected events.? Here, Jiang Chen sat up from his chair, approached the glass partition, lowered his voice, and said in a tone with deeper meaning embedded in his voice, ?But I don?t know if you thought about it. Since the Freemasonry can make your family suffer an unexpected accident, then why can?t I do the same thing??

Jiang Chen did not intend to use family as a threat. However, Diarra was likely to become a breakthrough point to take down the Freemasonry, so he did not use the simple but brutal truth-telling serum; he intended to convince him to join his side.

Jiang Chen gestured to the bodyguard next to him. A photo was placed on the table between the two.

?It?s your wife and your two daughters. They are beautiful, aren?t they??

When he saw the photo, Diarra?s eyes suddenly turned red, and the armrests shook violent. He stared at Jiang Chen, squeezing a few words from his grinding teeth.

?You…?

?I am a monster, I know what you want to say.? Jiang Chen?s expression remained unchanged, ?but you are not qualified to say this to me. In an old Chinese saying, you and I have no grudge between us, but why are you always on my butt??

Jiang Chen was also infuriated.

Starting with the Antarctic mission, the Freemasonry became unscrupulous against him and his group. As he said, those two shared no grudges, but the Freemasonry followed him like flies.

[The Golden Apple? Hell, they really thought that stuff could communicate with the future?]

Diarra?s tense body suddenly relaxed. He suddenly started laughing and said in a slightly calmer tone.

?You asked me before. When did we start monitor you??

?Yes,? Jiang Chen replied.

?Future 1.0.? Diarra tossed a name that surprised Jiang Chen, and grinned. ?When you introduced the concept of artificial intelligence, we noticed your company and you.?

Seeing Jiang Chen had no response, Diarra raised an eyebrow. Iis it very unexpected??

?It?s really unexpected.? Jiang Chen nodded. ?I thought that you began to keep an eye on us from the coup on Pannu Islands. I didn?t expect that you would have monitored me since then. But you haven?t answered me yet. Is the reason behind monitoring me just because of the Golden Apple??

Apart from the accidents, Jiang Chen was also secretly curious.

He was aware of this kind of intelligence. His position in the Freemasonry should not be low.

?It wasn?t because of the Golden Apple. We just thought that you are worth investing. But after a series of moves by you, we suspected that the Golden Apple was on you.? As he spoke, Diarra started to laugh again. ?And we were right, it was really on you.?

However, Jiang Chen wanted to say that what he achieved today was not because of the Golden Apple.

?The Gatekeeper will end you.?

?I have been waiting for him for a long time,? Jiang Chen looked at his watch, shrugged and said, ?However, I still haven?t seen him yet.?

?It won?t be long. Believe me.? Diarra laughed unnaturally and then gazed at Jiang Chen?s watch. ?It seems to be time.?

?Time?? Jiang Chen frowned slightly.

At this moment, Jiang Chen saw a rush of blood oozing out from Diarra?s mouth and dripping on his pants.

His rolled pupils were covered with daunting crimson lines…
