Chapter 1455


    At the lobby, Carl had rallied a team of elites consisting of experienced and capable mercenaries


    handpicked from his ranks.


    As he stood before them, he said, ‘The task will be extremely difficult. Our mission is to capture and


    destroy the Raven''smand post.”


    "Their leader goes by the name of Cara. He is a person without muchbat experience on the field,


    but he has been under the wing of the man helming the Raven for the longest time, so his abilities are


    not to be underestimated."


    "This operation must be carried out with utmost caution. Fall back whenever you find that there is little


    resolve for the situation. Every single one of you are equally important, so do not wander off alone as a


    lone ranger, no matter what. Do you understand?"


    Carl nced at everyone with a serious expression.


    "Sir yes sir!"


    "Good, so here is the n of action," he began again.


    "Jason and Yolli, the both of you will be in charge of this operation as squad leaders. From the base,


    use the zip line and make your way to the west side of the base. Upon reaching the enemy''s base,


    divide yourselves into two groups. Jason, you''re in charge of distracting the enemies and directing


    gunfire away. Yolli, you''re in charge of engaging the enemies at themand post. Make your


    immediate return once the mission haspleted.”


    "If the infiltration is a sess, bring any useful information back to us, as well as some of Cara''s


    belongings. Use the original route for your return, and make sure that none of the outsiders can spot


    you," Carl said, conveying Nicole''s words to the group of elites.


    "And that is the strategy. If you encounter any problems during the operation, you may make your own


    decisions without reporting the situation to the base. Now, gather and check your equipment, everyone.


    If you have gotten everything you need, you may begin!” Carl looked at them and ordered.


    "Yes, sir!"


    The elite team proceeded to gather their equipment neatly before making a beeline for the small door


    leading out of the site. Carl then ordered one of them to open it, after which he watched as they left the


    base.


    At the same time, the Raven, who were engaging in violentbat outside of the production base


    were unaware that the elite squad were slowly making their way to theirmand post.


    To smoothen their process of sneaking out of the base, Carl ordered some of the troops to direct their


    line of fire away from the area where the elite squad was. The fightsted all morning, with both sides


    bing exhausted as noon approached.


    Soon after, the Raven began to retreat.


    When Carl saw the Raven''s forces retreating, he became worried that something had urred,


    whereupon he contacted one of his men at once to inquire about the intentions of the other party.


    "C, the Raven seems to be readjusting. Some are resting and rearming themselves,” the man reported


    back.


    "Well, if that''s the case. Keep an eye out on them and keep me updated if there are any recent


    movements on their part," Carl ordered.


    "Yes, sir!"


    "Nicole, let''s go grab something to eat.’ Carl suggested, knowing that Nicole must be hungry after


    staying in the control room all morning.


    "Sure."


    At the cafeteria, Nicole looked at Carl and said, "Carl, the people whom you''ve assigned the mission to.


    Have you gotten any news from them?"


    "Not yet," Carl replied while looking at the time.


    Nicole took a deep breath and kept mum. After the meal, she went back to her room to catch some


    sleep while Carl returned to the central control room to continue monitoring the situation outside.


    Nicole sat down and took her phone out before opening the remote surveince application on her


    device to see Fiore sitting beside Jared, who was still lying motionless on his hospital bed. She was


    holding a book in her hand.

    ‘It seems that she is reading to Jared,’ Nicole thought upon seeing Fiore stopping and ncing at


    Jared after reading a few sentences from her book.


    Nicole then moved the surveince camera around, and found that Jared and Fiore were the only


    ones in the ward, with Martin being nowhere to be found.


    "Where did that fool wander off to? I left Jared in his hands and he''s not even there. And why is Fiore


    there too?" Nicole murmured, feelingpletely dismayed.


    Nicole proceeded to dial Martin''s number, and waited for him to answer.


    "Nicole, are you okay?" Martin immediately answered Nicole''s call as he walked out of the meeting


    room.
