Wesley didn’t hesitate to respond, Mr. Wade, we’ll start making the layout now, and when the time comes, our
subordinate will personally go to the copper mine to take charge and make sure he doesn’t come back!”
“Good,” Charlie said, “By the way, Wesley, I have one more thing.
Since the plan to overthrow the nest is already in motion, I suggest that we start evacuating personnel in advance.”
Charlie continued, “If the other party suspects that there’s a problem with this base or wants to come here to find
clues, they’ll only enter from the ground, and we won’t give them a chance to act.
We’ll fire at them as soon as they’re detected.
That’s why we should evacuate the families of the dead soldiers from the underground and move them to a boat…”
“This way, the guards on the ground and their families will also be ready to evacuate at any time.
We need to arrange the details of the evacuation, such as the number of people, who’s responsible for transferring
important materials, and who’s in charge of the final full-scale blasting.
Everyone needs to divide the work in advance.
This will also reduce the transfer pressure when we start the nest cover plan.
We should remove the close-in defense gun and take it with us.
After all, we’ll need it in our Syrian base.”
Wesley was eager to put Charlie’s plan into action, “No problem!” he declared.
“We’ll start by taking care of the Blackwater personnel and then proceed to the copper mine to meet with the
Master and make a solid plan.”
Charlie offered a word of caution, “Just make sure not to kidnap anyone from Syria.
We don’t want to raise any suspicion.”
“Got it,” Wesley replied confidently, “I’ll head to Iraq instead, bring them back quietly to Syria.”
Charlie gave a nod of approval, “That sounds like a solid plan.
Let’s do it!”

At this moment…
The suburbs of Bergen, Norway.

The police had cordoned off the farm where Maria once lived.
What was once a beautiful villa had now been reduced to a single wooden frame, a charred skeleton of its former
self.
Despite the destruction, the police had maintained a strong presence around the area.
The initial investigation uncovered a grisly scene.
The charred remained of several bodies were found, most of them victims of gunshot wounds.
This heinous crime had been marked as one of the most severe in recent memory, and the police were pulling out
all the stops to find the culprit.
Despite their efforts, no leads had emerged.
All that remains were the haunting ruins where so many lost their lives.
A vintage Porsche 911 roared down the country road and pulled up alongside the ruins of the farm.
The driver of the car was a middle-aged Asian man, who appeared to be in his thirties.
Seated beside him in the co-pilot was a stunning woman of the same age.
As they pulled up to their destination, the man gazed despondently at the charred wreckage before them and let
out a defeated sigh.
“The Lord has got one hell of a temper,” he muttered, “If it weren’t for that old geezer who insisted on blowing up
the scout that came snooping around, this place would’ve remained intact.
But now, it’s burnt to a crisp.
What are we supposed to do with this mess?”
The beautiful co-pilot pursed her lips and scoffed, “After all these years serving the Lord, and you still don’t know
what sets off the old man? Maria’s words weren’t just to taunt him, they were also to let him know that she’s no
longer wearing the ring.
That’s what’s really grinding his gears.
The Lord wants that ring more than anything else, and now that Maria’s lost it, even if we find her, chances are we
won’t find the ring!”
The man’s face was etched with dejection.
“Ugh,” he groaned, “There are no leads at the scene, and we have no idea where the ring could be.
Honestly, I’d rather not get my hands dirty with this.
Can’t I just go back and train? My mastery’s been improving, and I don’t want to fall behind the others.”
The beauty beside him shrugged nonchalantly.
“Trust me, I’m not too thrilled about this either.
It might be best to let Victor handle it alone.
I’m not too bothered about nabbing the top prize anyway.”
She let out a helpless sigh.
“But the Lord had to send Victor to China, didn’t he? Now he thinks that Maria might not even be there.
She could be hiding out in the Far East of Russia, or maybe even near the Arctic Circle in North America.
That’s why we’re here in Northern Europe, trying to fill in the gaps and track her down for Victor.”
The man in the driver’s seat stretched his waist and let out a long sigh, “You know, you’re really something else,” he
remarked.
“Word on the street is that he’s in New York investigating the last attack.
He probably failed to catch a break, so he’s gone to the Flower World to unwind.
And here we are, stuck with this investigation.”
He gestured towards the charred ruins and grumbled, “What’s there even left to investigate? It’s all just ashes
now.”
The woman beside him spoke up.
“Listen, the Lord gave us our orders.
We can’t ignore them.
Here’s what we’re going to do, Jarvis.
There are two avenues we can pursue: we either find out how Maria escaped Northern Europe, or we discover what
happened to the cavalry guards we sent there.
We’ll each take one direction, and you get to choose first.”
Jarvis Delgado was one of the four marshals of the Warriors Den, and he weighed his options carefully.
Jarvis placed a hand on the steering wheel and puckered his lips.
“Ladies first,” he said, gesturing to Zeba.
“You get to choose first.”
Zeba Salazar sat in the co-pilot seat, was also one of the four marshals of the Warriors Den.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDespite being a woman, she was incredibly powerful and had fought for the big guy upstairs for many years.
In fact, she was the only woman among the four marshals, a testament to her strength and determination.
Jarvis gave her a nod and a smile, “So, Zeba, there are two directions we can take.
Which one do you want to pursue first?”
Zeba mulled it over for a moment before speaking, “I think I’ll investigate the cavalry guards’ trail.
Maria’s a crafty one, and I’m not sure if I’m as smart as she is.”
Jarvis felt a twinge of disappointment, but he still nodded, “Alright then, I’ll go after Maria.”
Truth be told, Jarvis was leaning more towards the cavalry guards’ trail.
It was a faster route to take, and if they couldn’t find any leads in Northern Europe, they could always try their luck
in Cyprus.
On the other hand, Maria’s trail was a bit more daunting.
She could have disappeared anywhere in the world, and it was going to be a real challenge to find any useful leads.
The reason Jarvis had let Zeba choose first was because he had always harbored some feelings for her, hoping that
she would be his double cultivation partner.
For a powerful woman like Zeba, it was a good deal for both of them.
Even so, he hadn’t wanted to choose Maria’s trail.
However, since Zeba had already made her choice, he had no choice but to accept it.
But then, unexpectedly, Zeba let out a sigh.
“You know what, let’s switch things up.
I’ll take on Maria’s trail, and you can check out the cavalry guards’ trail.”
Jarvis was taken aback.
“What made you change your mind? Maria’s trail is the most difficult to follow!”
Zeba laughed it off.
“True, it’s going to be a real challenge with no clear leads to follow.
But on the bright side, that means I can go wherever I want.
I can travel and try my luck at the same time.”
Jarvis was thrilled with the change of plans and gave her a thumbs up.
“That’s fantastic, Zeba! You’re amazing.
Alright then, I’ll take on the cavalry guards’ trail.”
