At this moment, Zephyr said, “Based on the information we gathered earlier, their defenses are weakest at two in the morning. Also, Asher is inside. When we make our move then, we can take them all out in one fell swoop. This is the safest and most convenient way.”
Cloud agreed, “That's right. I've scouted the terrain. We can sneak in for a surprise attack first. If we accidentally alert anyone, we'll just suppress them with firepower and face them head-on. We won't be at a disadvantage.”
Zephyr nodded, then turned to TorrentCloud. “What do you think? Can we break through?”
“Their internal security system is complex, but it's not a big issue.”
TorrentCloud's fingers were still rapidly tapping on the keyboard, with strings of code appearing on the screen.
“Leave this matter to me. I can assure you, they won't interfere with your actions.”
Upon hearing that, Nathaniel nodded in satisfaction, then said, “Let's start by assigning the vanguard. Apart from Storm, Cloud, and Zephyr, I'll arrange a few more people.”
He was just about to give the order, but Zephyr flatly refused, “There's no need to go to such lengths. I believe, when leading the charge, the fewer the people, the better.”
As soon as those words were spoken, Felix, the deputy standing next to Nathaniel, immediately felt a bit dissatisfied.
“Don't be too sure of yourself. Even though you were sent by Mr. Beauvort, when it comes to combat operations, who could be more experienced than us? Buddy, I know you're capable and brave, but it's still best to follow orders.”
As soon as his words fell, Zephyr and the others could tell that the deputy leader seemed to have some doubts about their abilities.
Cloud frowned slightly and indifferently responded, “Experienced or not, we'll only know after we take a look. We didn't come here this time just to make up the numbers!”
“You...”
Felix was upset by his direct confrontation. Gritting his teeth, he wanted to retort.
In the end, Nathaniel stopped him.
“Enough. Let's not engage in pointless arguments.”
In the midst of their conversation, he glanced at Felix, signaling him to keep quiet. Then he turned to Cloud and asked, “If it's just the three of you, how confident are you?”
Cloud didn't respond. Instead, he instinctively looked toward Zephyr. “Buddy, what do you think?”
With an air of dominance, Zephyr didn't even hesitate. He opened his mouth and responded, “Just give us ten minutes. We can silently take care of all the patrolling guards.”
When Nathaniel and his people heard that, they found it quite outrageous.
Naturally, they didn't believe it, all frowning with clear dissatisfaction on their faces.
It was clear that since their own master hadn't spoken, they didn't feel it was their place to say anything.
In the end, Felix couldn't hold it in any longer and retorted sarcastically, “Since you've already made such a bold claim, we'll be right here, waiting to see the outcome. We hope you won't let us down!”
Just like that, the plan was set.
The night grew deeper, and all of Nathaniel's people were fully deployed.
At two in the early morning, the trio, including Zephyr, like phantoms, blended into the boundless darkness of the night.
Nathaniel and his trusted aides stayed in their original position, using night vision binoculars to assess the situation.
On the screen, the trio approached the villa, entering a seemingly deserted territory. They quickly infiltrated enemy lines.
As they approached the patrol, they didn't wait for the other party to notice. With a swift motion, they drew their blades and efficiently took down their targets.
One after another...
From start to finish, everything went smoothly without having the slightest disturbance.
Nathaniel's confidants were left dumbfounded, unable to regain their composure for a long time.
This skillful technique is even more professional than ours!
At that moment, Nathaniel's icy voice rang out.
“Over the years, the southwestern region has bestowed upon me the title of 'Southwestern Tiger,' causing many to forget the moniker 'Grim Reaper'. Back in the day, my cousin, while on a mission abroad, cast a deep trauma over many people. The people he sent, how could they be anything less than capable? Felix, I know you are cautious in your actions, but always remember, there are always bigger fish in the sea and people who are better than us.”
Felix felt a jolt in his heart, immediately lowering his head, his face full of shame.
“Yes, I understand. I was reckless this time.”
Nathaniel simply wanted to remind him, not to reprimand him, so he didn't say anything more.
However, his eyes narrowed as he continued staring into the night vision binoculars.
The prowess of Zephyr truly piqued his interest.
It seems that the man my cousin has sent is not a simple character. He's likely a top-ranked assassin on the international stage.
Interesting, I wonder what methods Jean used to win over such a character...
