Chapter 2353: Crazy Juarez

Juarez's full name is Rafael Corona Juarez.

Coincidentally, he was born in a city on the northern border of Mexico, and that city is also named Juarez.

In the city of Juarez, Mexico's largest criminal syndicate has always been active, and this city has also held the title of the city with the most serious violent crime in the world for years.

To call it a real-life Gotham would be an insult to Gotham; after all, Gotham has superheroes in addition to supervillains, while here, there are only supervillains, each more vicious than the last.

Juarez grew up in the city that shares his name. Although his parents were not members of the criminal syndicate, they both earned their living working under the syndicate.

His father always drove trucks for the syndicate, sometimes hauling arms, sometimes drugs, and sometimes corpses.

His mother, meanwhile, worked in the syndicate's drug manufacturing labs, weighing and packaging for them, and even won many championships in skills competitions organized by the syndicate.

Influenced by this environment, Juarez became obsessed with violent crime from a young age.

When he was twelve, a low-level leader of the local criminal syndicate gave him a gun, a bicycle, and fifty dollars in cash. He then pedaled his bike and, following the other party's instructions, shot and killed an unsuspecting member of a rival gang on the street.

Although the recoil of the pistol made his wrist ache for several days, during those days, he couldn't sleep at night because he was too excited by the scene of the victim's brains splattering.

At that moment, Juarez realized that he might be a natural for this line of work.

From then on, he became a gang member.

After nearly ten years of accumulation, he also became a somewhat well-known low-level leader in Juarez.

After Juarez's boss was assassinated by a rival gang, Juarez took his men and fled that city, starting a new career in Ensenada.

After another dozen years of accumulation, Juarez's strength grew increasingly powerful. Now, among the many criminal syndicates in Mexico, he is already able to rank in the top 10.

However, in this top 10, the 80/20 rule is also reflected to the fullest.

The first and second-ranked criminal syndicates monopolize at least 80% of the profits.

Therefore, for someone like Juarez, who is at the tail end of the top 10, the gap between him and the number one is like heaven and earth.

Mexico's largest criminal syndicate has annual profits exceeding ten billion US dollars, but after mixing in this for so many years, even counting all his assets, Juarez barely has over one hundred million.

When he heard Ma Kui report that someone had found their operating room with a black gold card, his whole body trembled.

This is a big shot with a net worth of over ten billion US dollars!

No matter what his intentions were, Juarez had to be nervous and had to take it seriously.

Just as Juarez was a bit distracted, the dealer urged, "Mr. Juarez, it's your turn to draw a card."

Juarez then came back to his senses. He ignored the dealer and said to Ma Kui on the other end of the phone, "Ma, I'm heading over now. You must treat this Mr. Ye well. Do not neglect this distinguished guest, otherwise, I won't spare you!"

Ma Kui on the other end of the phone quickly said, "Don't worry, Boss, I will definitely treat Mr. Ye well."

As he spoke, he didn't forget to remind him, "Boss, don't forget, bring as many brothers as possible. It's better to be prepared."

Juarez hummed, "That goes without saying!"

After speaking, he hung up the phone, placed his cards face down on the table, stood up hurriedly, and turned to leave.

His girlfriend asked with some surprise, "Rafael, where are you going?"

Juarez spoke up: "I have important matters to attend to. You continue playing here for now; keep all the chips."

After finishing, he called his four bodyguards and said, "Carlos, go get the car. Hector, call and notify everyone, tell them to drop what they are doing immediately and gather at the operating room. Remember, everyone must be fully armed!"

The subordinate named Hector asked in surprise, "Boss, what's so serious that all the brothers need to rush over?"

Juarez said, "It might not be a bad thing, but it might not be a good thing either. We'll have to wait until we get there to know for sure. But regardless of whether it's good or bad, we must be fully prepared."

In Juarez's view, if Ye Chen was indeed a good opportunity for him to get ahead, then he naturally had to grasp it well. He not only had to let Ye Chen see his sincerity but also let Ye Chen see his strength.

And if this Ye Chen came with ill intentions, bringing his brothers along would also minimize the danger as much as possible.

Crazy Juarez has over two hundred direct members in total.

Among these people, the vast majority are locals from Mexico.

And in Mexico, the prevalence of firearms is no less than in the United States, especially for criminal syndicates; not only does everyone have a gun, but many also have standard-issue equipment smuggled from the United States at high prices.

Therefore, the combat effectiveness of Crazy Juarez's members is no less than that of the military and police.

When they received the boss's order, they all took their equipment and quickly headed to the small village where the operating room was located.

Juarez, who had been in street fights for many years, had always required all members of Crazy Juarez to know how to drive and to own a car of their own.

The reason for this was to enhance the mobility of the entire group.

In Juarez's view, the importance of this was no different from the motorization of a modern army.

In addition, he also required all members to install radios in their cars. At the same time, to ensure smooth radio communication, he set up multiple radio relay stations within a hundred-kilometer radius of Ensenada to improve the coverage and quality of radio communication.

At this time, he was sitting in his bulletproof car, holding the microphone of the car radio, and ordered, "Attention everyone, no matter where you are starting from, do not enter the village where the operating room is located without authorization! The first, second, and third squads, gather at the eastern entrance of the village; the fourth, fifth, and sixth squads, gather at the western entrance of the village. After everyone has gathered, listen to my command, and use a pincer movement to complete the encirclement of the operating room! Each squad leader, reply immediately upon receipt!"

Soon, multiple voices came over the walkie-talkie: "Squad One received."

"Squad Two received."

"Squad Three received..."

After all six squad leaders confirmed the order, Juarez continued, "After you enter within a three-mile radius of the operating room, you must pay close attention to the surrounding environment. Once you discover any suspicious personnel hiding, report to me immediately."

Juarez had experienced all kinds of firefights and had rich combat experience.

In his view, regardless of whether the other party had deployed troops in secret, a pincer movement could best guarantee the exertion of combat effectiveness.

If the enemy was in the center, the pincer movement could well encircle the enemy; if the enemy was on the periphery, after the two forces joined in a pincer movement, they could also rely on the center point to defend against external enemies.

If facing an ordinary criminal syndicate, Juarez's method was very efficient.

But he couldn't have imagined that what he was about to face was the king of mercenaries, the Cataclysmic Front.

According to the tactics planned by Ye Chen earlier, the members of the Cataclysmic Front were all scattered and hidden one or two kilometers outside the village, just to wait for the other party to complete the gathering, and then tighten the encirclement to trap them all in a pocket.

Moreover, these members of the Cataclysmic Front were all martial arts experts, and their strength was far superior to ordinary mercenaries.

Therefore, after they hid, even if these members of Crazy Juarez passed by them, they wouldn't notice anything unusual! ===== CHAPTER 2354 =====
