Hades rendezvoused with Kingsley and Yvonne at the corner of the street where their target was
staying. It was as if he blended in with the shadows. He said, “A… Boss, all units are in position.” Since
Yvonne was around, he did not call Kingsley by his title. “I brought two whole squads with me. The
ambush team and sniper team are prepared for battle. The support team’s chopper is on standby about
two miles away.”
Kingsley listened to the report and nodded. “Tell the sniper team and ambush team to keep an eye on
the target and all activities around their base. They might have an ambush team lying in wait as well.”
“Yes, sir!” Hades answered and sent his orders through his phone.
Yvonne was listening to them, and she felt like she was in an action movie. Her face was red with
excitement, and she was looking at Kingsley in a new light. She had a feeling Kingsley was more than
met the eye, but she knew it was not her place to ask. She told herself that she had to make sure she
did not become deadweight.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNight had descended. There were no entertainment premises in this village, so even though it was only
eight at night, the streets were almost deserted. Now that they were in the warehouse area, there were
no civilians around.
Kingsley looked at the time again. “It’s eight twenty now. Move!” He held Yvonne’s shoulder and looked
into her eyes. “Don’t worry, I’ll be right behind you. You’re safe.”
“Okay.” Yvonne nodded solemnly and strode to the target’s house.
They saw her off, and Hades was worried. “Are you sure this is fine, Ares? Won’t it be better if we just
charge inside and arrest everyone?”
“There are three of them in there. Two on the surface and one in the shadows. We’re gonna miss one if
we directly charge inside, so we have to confirm the number of enemies before we make any move.”
“What if something happens to the girl?”
“Then we charge.” Kingsley grinned. “We’re going to capture all the blasted spies sooner or later, so
our priority is her safety.”
While they were talking, Yvonne had already knocked on the warehouse’s door.
A long while of silence later, someone asked, “Who’s there?”
Yvonne took a deep breath and asked loudly, “Hi, is this Bobby’s home? I need to talk to you.”
The people inside let their guard down and opened the door, seeing as she was just a girl.
A short, mousey man stuck his head out. “We don’t have anyone called Bobby here. You got the—” He
did not finish the sentence. The man’s eyes gleamed with lust when he saw Yvonne. He looked around
cautiously, but nobody was in his sights. The man leered. “Are you looking for someone? Why don’t
you come in?” Before she could do anything, the man grabbed her arm.
“What are you—” Yvonne only managed to let out a scream before the man pulled her into the
warehouse.
The door then slammed shut.
Kingsley and Hades looked at each other. “Sh*t!” they cursed. None of them expected the Sweoyans to
be so brazen.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Prepare for battle!” Kingsley hissed. D*mn those Sweoyans! How dare they try to assault the empire’s
people? If Yvonne is actually a lost girl instead of an operative, who knows what might have happened?
“Ambush team! Get inside and rescue the girl! Sniper team, keep an eye on the enemy! If anyone tries
to escape, shoot to kill!” He gave out three orders one after the other and whipped his gun out.
Kingsley was prepared to jump into the fray himself.
“Ares!” Hades held him back. “The ambush team will be here in fifteen seconds! You don’t have to jump
into the fray yourself!”
A few moments later, a group of warriors jumped out from the shadows. They were in casual attire, but
their equipment was top notch. All of them were wearing bulletproof vests under their shirts, and they
were holding SMGs decked out with silencers and laser scope. Some of the members even had
grenade launchers installed on their firearms. They were also equipped with night-vision goggles, GPS,
knives, and protective gear. These soldiers leaped out of the shadows and pounced at their target like
leopards, while their prey had no idea danger was looming closer.
