<strong>Chapter 1381: Chapter 1382: Learning the Mission’s Grade</strong>


    The myriad expressions on Xiao San’s face were all noticed by Xiang Yu, but he didn’t point them out. He continued to stand there with his hands behind his back, gazing at the blood-red sunset.


    Li Bingbing felt restless as she paced back and forth. Seeing Xiang Yu’s calm demeanor only made her more annoyed.


    She used to think Xiang Yu was a master, enigmatic and unfathomable, but now, at this critical moment, she suddenly felt that Xiang Yu was just putting on a show.


    If they didn’te up with a n now, Ivan might have alreadypleted his mission.


    Maybe this was what Xiang Yu was thinking too, waiting for the other side to finish the task and then drive back.


    Although she was anxious, without Xiang Yu issuing orders, she was helpless and could only sit there.


    At this time, Ivan and his team were also setting up the entire n, ready to move out from another direction at any moment.


    Ivan held a phone in his hand, with a messageing through.


    “Xiang Yu’s group has no intention of acting; they’re just watching the sunset here.”<fn5a0d> ?????? ???? ?ovelFind</fn5a0d>


    As Ivan saw this message, he snorted coldly. It seemed Xiang Yu’s group had already abandoned the mission.


    Originally, he nned to let Xiang Yu’s group be the vanguard to distract the enemy, while he would take the opportunity to enter and take out Kruse.


    But now, it seemed that was not possible.


    “Continue to stay covert, do not expose yourselves.” Ivan also sent a message and then put the phone away.


    He had two ns prepared. The first was to wait for Xiang Yu’s group to rush in and draw the enemy’s attention.


    The second n was to attack if Xiang Yu’s group didn’t, splitting into two teams on his side: one to harass the enemy and the other to infiltrate andplete the mission.


    Looking at the time, it was already seven in the evening; the sun was about to set.


    “Tell Team One, start the operation at precisely eight o’clock,” Ivan said to the person beside him.


    They split into two teams, one led by Wang Li, while Ivan personally led the other.


    Wang Li’s orders were just to harass and create the illusion of a major assault.


    Then Ivan would lead the team to break in.


    Ivan also knew that this n was risky, but it was the only option. Waiting for Kruse toe out on his own could mean waiting indefinitely.


    At this moment, Ivan thought of Cheng Wn, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.


    Cheng Wn, that foolish woman, must have been deceived, still thinking it was a simple task.


    Once hepleted the mission and returned, he would definitely tell her about the risks involved.


    At this time, Cheng Wn was sitting in her office, waiting, knowing that Ivan and Xiang Yu had already set off.


    Although she viewed it as a simple task, it was their group’s first mission, bringing her a bit of tension.


    At this moment, the phone suddenly rang; it was Zhong Min calling.


    “What are you doing?” Zhong Min asked casually.


    “Nothing, just sitting on the sofa,” Cheng Wn replied, her voice a bit rushed.


    Zhong Min detected something off in her tone and pressed for what was going on.


    Cheng Wn had to admit they had taken their first mission and were somewhat anticipating it.


    “It’s just assassinating one person, right? That’s no big deal; Ivan can handle it alone,” Zhong Min said lightly, trying to reassure her.


    Hearing Zhong Min’sforting words, Cheng Wn felt much more at ease.


    “Who are you targeting?” Zhong Min asked calmly.


    “A rebel officer named Kruse,” Cheng Wn said casually.


    “What?” Zhong Min’s voice suddenly grew loud, “You’re talking about Kruse, the deputymander of the rebels?”


    “Why? It’s just one person,” Cheng Wn said indifferently.


    “You must be kidding.” Zhong Min finally lostposure. If it were just killing an ordinary person, it would indeed be a small task, but the target being that personplicated matters.


    “I’m not kidding; the ‘Rookie Mercenary Corp’ found me, saying it was just a simple assassination,” Cheng Wn detected the concern in Zhong Min’s voice and exined.


    “You’ve been duped; assassinating Kruse isn’t simple. Your newly-formed squad has little chance of sess. This task is S-level,” Zhong Min sighed.


    Cheng Wn was dumbfounded to hear this, finally speaking up, “It can’t be that exaggerated, right?”


    “It’s not an exaggeration. Many have tried to kill him and failed. You’re just too inexperienced,” Zhong Minmented.


    Cheng Wn then realized she had been tricked and bit her lip harshly, “The Rookie Mercenary Corp are scoundrels; I’ll deal with them sooner orter.”


    Zhong Min also sighed, “Don’t think about them for now; focus on calling them back.”


    “I’ll hang up now,” Cheng Wn said and then hung up, needing to quickly contact Ivan to call them back.


    The call went through, but no one answered.


    “Hurry, hurry, answer the phone,” Cheng Wn paced anxiously.


    At this moment, Ivan was holding the phone, and seeing it was Cheng Wn calling, he put the phone on silent and slipped it into his pocket.


    He didn’t know what Cheng Wn wanted to say, but he didn’t want to hear it now.


    Fieldmanders do not always obey orders from above.


    Cheng Wn was almost jumping in frustration as the phone rang with a busy signal. Without thinking further, she dialed again.


    But it was the same; no one answered.


    “What to do?” She felt extremely anxious, considering sending the Orchid Group to support them.


    But on reflection, although the Orchid Group was not small,pared to the rebels, it was a joke.


    They might seem cocky usually, but in battle, they might wet themselves with fear.


    It wasn’t an exaggeration, but the truth.


    Excluding that idea, she thought of another n, suddenly remembering Xiang Yu.


    Perhaps Xiang Yu was with Ivan, and if she contacted Xiang Yu, she might reach Ivan.


    She didn’t think Xiang Yu would be on the frontline but was likely observing from the outskirts.


    On Xiang Yu’s side, he was watching the sunset gradually descend. At this moment, his phone rang.


    “Commander Cheng, any instructions?” Xiang Yu asked casually.


    “Is Ivan with you?” Cheng Wn asked anxiously, her voice trembling.


    Their corps had just been established, with few people and no professional training. Assigning them an S-level task was a death sentence.


    Her hard-earned troops’ form might be destroyed, and more importantly, their lives were in danger.


    “I haven’t seen Instructor Ivan; he hasn’t called me,” Xiang Yu said calmly.


    “Where are you now?” Cheng Wn asked intensely, her voice shaky.


    “I’m outside watching the sunset, a beautiful sight fading into dusk. Commander Cheng, nce outside; isn’t it beautiful?”


    “Snap”


    The phone hung up, leaving only a busy signal…
