The moment the team reached their entry point, those designated to remain behind immediately scattered to scout the surrounding area. Billionaire’s dangerous stunt had successfully pulled guards away from their posts — including the ones stationed here.
Even so, precautions had to be taken to ensure no further problems arose. Thus, three of their men, along with several Bellemonte operatives, split off to deal with any remaining threats before they became an issue.
Those left behind began setting up a small camp.
After all, they had been traveling for nearly a full day. While some had managed brief naps along the way, they couldn’t move out again immediately without rest.
"We’re currently here..." Lola trailed off, holding a stick as she gestured at a map laid out on the ground. In her other hand, a flashlight illuminated the routes. "Actually, we can stick to the original plan since this area leads directly onto this route."
Everyone stood around the map, listening closely. They nodded in unison, memorizing each path to memory.
"The Bellemonte team will take their original entry point," she continued. "They’ll stay above ground. Once they set up the signal, we’ll make contact."
Lola lifted her gaze, her eyes inevitably landing on her husband.
Atlas’s team wouldn’t simply stay behind and wait. He had to ensure they maintained reception to keep communication lines open, and he also served as their fallback.
Just in case the worst happened.
"Take a rest," Lola added. "We move again in an hour. Remember everything we discussed. Stay undetected as much as possible — and let’s find those people so we can get out of this damn place."
Determination shone in every pair of eyes as they dispersed to rest, change clothes, or check their weapons.
Meanwhile, Lola and Atlas sat on a nearby log, assisting others as they finalized the rendezvous setup.
As preparations continued, Izu approached Haji, who was walking away from the group.
"Haji," Izu called.
Haji slowed but didn’t stop immediately. He blinked and turned his head. "What?"
"Are those guys going to be alright?" Izu asked.
Haji didn’t answer at once.
He continued walking until he reached the edge of the slope, gazing toward the direction where Billionaire and his crew had stirred chaos. From here, the boats were no longer visible.
"Bill’s a wise guy," Haji said at last. "He might look reckless, but he’s smart. He never acts on impulse."
He nodded to himself, though a trace of concern lingered in his voice. He knew Ravah. He knew how unforgiving its people were, and that only one law existed there.
Power.
"He wouldn’t start trouble unless he knew he could survive it," Haji added, finally meeting Izu’s gaze. "He’ll be fine. I’m sure of it."
Izu studied him for a moment, then nodded.
"He wouldn’t have survived Ravah otherwise," Izu agreed. "He’s... an interesting man."
"Man," Haji muttered. "He’s the most interesting guy I’ve ever met."
As their conversation eased into something lighter, Scarlet watched them from a distance, arms crossed. She wasn’t doing anything outwardly like the rest, just mentally preparing for what lay ahead.
Still, she overheard parts of their exchange. Not out of concern for Billionaire or his crew, but curiosity.
"Scarlet."
Baby’s voice pulled her attention away. She turned as he subtly motioned with one muscular arm. No words were needed for her to understand him. So, she nodded and followed him.
Haji would move with Scarlet, Chuck, and two others from the Order. Lola’s team consisted of Izu, Pika, and two members from the Order’s Mid Circle.
Time passed, and then — in a blink — everyone began to move again.
"The moment I hear there’s a problem..." Atlas said slowly, locking eyes with her, "...I’m going in."
Lola nodded. "Of course."
She then reached out, hooked an arm around Pika’s neck, and pulled him closer. "I’m taking this one. He’ll make sure our signals don’t die."
"Huh?" Pika blinked, looking between Lola and Atlas with clear shock. When Atlas’s cold gaze landed on him, he gulped.
"He better," Atlas said flatly before returning his attention to his wife. "Go now — before I change my mind."
A light chuckle escaped her as she stepped away. With that, Lola and her team disappeared into the darkness.
Atlas remained where he stood, eyes fixed on the path she had taken.
"First Brother," Slater said quietly, stepping up beside him and making a small phone gesture.
Atlas nodded and headed back to the mini camp. Using their special communication device — one immune to Ravah’s tracking — he lifted it to his ear.
"Stand by," he ordered. "I’m going in."
*****
Meanwhile, far from the territory, men dressed in full black gear had already landed and set up their own camps. Explosives, ammunition, and weapons were ready — awaiting Atlas’s signal.
Because Atlas never intended to stay behind.
Not when his wife was walking into the heart of the deadliest territory on Earth.
And with that, the mission finally began.
