Chapter 1381 - 1305: Toughness
Ni Cha returned to the office, first gathering his men, then calling a few trusted aides, instructing them to discreetly prepare equipment.
Ni Cha took out a backup phone and sent a mass message to those listed under "Young Operatives" in his contacts: [Something’s up today. If you’re willing to join, I’ll be in the office until 10 tonight.]
Ni Cha reviewed the message twice before sending it out.
The "Young Operatives" category included young people who had actively aligned themselves with him in recent years. Normally, Ni Cha didn’t have much use for them; there were only so many positions and projects, those could be divided, and his direct subordinates had already taken them.
Even if he had his eye on a young man, he couldn’t suddenly promote them, otherwise, his subordinates would ostracize them. Of course, that’s the policing style in Dama.
However, this time was different. This time, it was a life-and-death struggle.
Niyuman had years of military experience. He was tall and strong, capable of overpowering a grown man and making it look like a "suicide," even breaking ribs in the process.
He was armed, and whether he had assistance and equipment was uncertain, but it was confirmed he had at least one accomplice. Ni Cha’s orders were to capture him alive...
That basically meant risking lives to get the job done.
Even with bulletproof vests and helmets stored in the warehouse, anyone who’s been in combat knows how dangerous a firefight gets, especially indoors where bullets bounce off concrete and explode unpredictably, deadly yet undetectable.
If all Niyuman had was a handgun and regular bullets, that would be manageable. But he was the driver for another faction’s leader, and now also served as an assassin.
Therefore, if Niyuman wanted, he could certainly get armor-piercing rounds, .38 or even .45 caliber handguns were within reach, and still more fearsome was a submachine gun, especially one powerful enough to pierce soft armor. Theoretically, whether it’s an MP7 or a Scorpion able to penetrate IIIA level armor, Niyuman was likely to have them.
