"Eliminate all those bastards."
Boom!
Following the leader’s roar, the group of armed men who had suddenly arrived at the scene began searching for Dante's group. But before they could take any further action, a rain of bullets precisely pierced their heads.
"Keep moving straight ahead, we’ll regroup after securing an escape route. I’ll escape through that bu...

Chapter 142 - In the Midst of the Crisis
Bang! Bang! Bang!
When Dante and his men emerged from their hiding place to join the fight, gunshots rang out once more from the rooftop where the hitmen were positioned.
In the darkness of the night, Dante moved like a cat, swift and agile.
The bullets missed their mark and hit the ground, kicking up waves of dirt and sand.
They seemed like wild animals chasing Dan...

The next day, Dante met with Felipe Lobos in a building where many could see them. They were waiting for the entire elimination operation to take place.
"Tell me just one thing—what would happen if that assassin sent to kill us arrived right now while your best men are out looking for the Jiménez brothers?" Felipe leaned toward Jason and whispered this question in a joking tone.

"Why don't you get some fresh air, Agent Katie?" Matt knew that this FBI agent was a headache that needed to be dealt with as soon as possible. Now they were in a meeting with the leader of SAMCRO, a damn global organization with so much power that they could easily kill them all in their sleep.
But here was Katie, constantly confronting Dante, who simply wanted to eliminate some enemies—enemies who...

The next day, Alejandro, along with the DEA and FBI agent Kate, were on their way to extract their informant, who would tell them everything about the Sonora Cartel.
The information they had was useless to Dante, who was making preparations to bring everything to an end so he could finally return home and continue taking care of his family.
The federal agents wanted to have their own source ...

A few kilometers away, in one of the Jiménez cartel's safe houses, the base guards were slightly distracted.
Their attention was diverted by the loud explosion sounds coming from a specific direction.
The direction where the base of one of the dogs that dared to bite the hand of their high command was located.
Each and every one of them knew what was happening there, but they sti...

"I already miss going home..." Dante murmured these words as he pulled the trigger once more, taking down another target.
The enemies he would bury tonight would help stabilize the future of his organization, and thanks to that, the feds would stop investigating SAMCRO.
He was desperate to get off the police radar—who wouldn't be? Everything had been going well until he got involved with cocaine.<...

Andrés' passionate speech had spread through the loudspeakers across the entire base, even reaching beyond its borders.

"Was it a good idea to reveal to that FBI agent that she’ll be working alongside the DEA to take down the cartels near the border?" William didn’t think this was the best course of action to pursue their plans against their enemies in Mexico.

Alejandro stared at Matt intently. They had an appealing cooperation that benefited both of them in this operation to eliminate Fausto and find his drug tunnel.

"Where have you been all this time since you arrived in Mexico? I had to change locations three different times because of all the chaos you caused in Juárez," Felipe growled at Dante, clearly displeased with the recent massacres in the city.
Starting a war of that magnitude was bad for business, as the Jiménez cartel would retaliate, and the resulting damage would affect his other operations.

In a solitary church far from the city center,there was a large plot of land surrounding it. More than twenty men and women were either standing or sitting in the open hall at that moment. They all glanced around their surroundings, yawning occasionally, bored as if they were waiting for something.
