Operation Condor revolves around the story of Jacky Chen, a.k.a. "Asian Hawk," a renowned treasure hunter operating in the bustling streets of Hong Kong during the 1940s. Chen is known for his incredible luck and exceptional skills in uncovering hidden treasures and lost artifacts. He has gained quite the reputation among his peers, and his name has become synonymous with exceptional talent and unrelenting adventure. One day, Chen receives a mysterious visit from a charismatic and enigmatic Spanish baron, whose true identity remains shrouded in mystery. The baron presents Chen with an attractive proposition: he wants Chen to lead a perilous expedition into the scorching hot Sahara Desert in search of a vast hoard of gold, allegedly hidden by the Nazis during World War II. The catch is that the gold is said to be buried in an unmarked location, guarded by an array of deadly traps and hidden pitfalls. Despite initial reservations, Chen's curiosity and the promise of immense riches ultimately sway him to accept the mission. He agrees to assemble a team of trusted friends to aid him in this hazardous endeavor. They consist of Kao Khe, a seasoned veteran who has been with Chen on several prior expeditions; Sam, a skilled engineer and mechanic; and a mysterious woman named Sophia, who possesses expertise in various languages, archaeology, and ancient cultures. The team embarks on a thrilling adventure, braving treacherous landscapes and navigating the unforgiving Sahara Desert climate. They travel to the North African port city of Marseille, where they acquire a dilapidated but resilient plane, affectionately nicknamed "Flying Pancreas" due to its propensity for mechanical failures. The plane becomes their primary mode of transportation for the grueling journey ahead. Upon arriving in Morocco, the group navigates the intricate social hierarchy and the complex web of alliances and rivalries within the local community. Chen skillfully navigates these treacherous waters, ultimately establishing a rapport with the tribal leader of a nomadic tribe. The tribe's leader agrees to provide Chen's team with crucial information about the treasure, but only if they first deliver a valuable artifact – a sacred and ancient amulet – to the tribe's elder. Chen's team manages to procure the amulet, but not without a series of harrowing encounters with rival treasure hunters, including the ruthless and cunning Colonel. The colonel is obsessed with finding the treasure before Chen and will stop at nothing to claim it. Chen's team must use their collective skills to evade the colonel and his cohorts, all while navigating the unforgiving desert landscape. Upon gathering the necessary information, Chen's team ventures deeper into the heart of the Sahara Desert. The group faces numerous challenges, including harsh weather conditions, treacherous terrain, and the ever-present threat of the colonel and his men. The stakes are raised when Chen's team discovers that they are not alone in their quest. The Nazis, who had initially hidden the treasure, have returned, seeking to reclaim their lost riches. As they near their destination, Chen's team uncovers a series of cryptic clues etched into ancient stones. These puzzles serve as a test of their wit and ingenuity, as Chen and his team must decipher the complex riddles to unlock the treasure's true location.
