Chapter 369 Locating the Strategist
Michael and Eugene continued walking forward, and after walking some distance away, Michael turned his head once again.
The man with the cigarettes had already disappeared in front of the neighborhood.
“We have to go back!” Michael ordered coldly as he took out his phone.
Eugene looked at his brother’s expression and knew that something was amiss. “What’s wrong, Michael? Did you notice something?”
Eugene turned his head to look at the sidewalk next to the neighborhood’s gate, but there was nothing unusual about the people passing by.
Michael had already called Freya. “GS, I found the man. He just entered Sunshine Neighborhood of West
Geft!”
At Kaufmann Residence, Freya immediately stood up. “Good, I’ll contact Ink now. You guys be on standby and wait for us there!”
After hanging up the phone, she immediately contacted Inken.
In front of Sunshine Neighborhood, Eugene was standing next to Michael, and he had also heard the
contents of Michael’s call.
“Michael, what did GS say? Should we go ahead and catch the man now?” As he spoke, Eugene looked eager to take action.
Michael looked around. “Let’s go to that bakery over there and keep an eye on the entrance of the neighborhood. GS told us to wait for them and be on standby.”
“Standby?” Eugene frowned unhappily. “What’s the use of just watching the entrance? What if that person runs away from other exits? This neighborhood is so big. There are several other gates!”
Michael said coldly, “Just listen to GS.”
Eugene followed Michael to the bakery, feeling sulky. He had just finished eating dumplings and couldn’t stuff any more food.
Michael’s gaze was fixed on the gate of the neighborhood.
Eugene thought for a moment and looked up at Michael. “Say, Michael, GS told us to be on standby because she’s worried about alarming that person. But today, we didn’t bring any equipment with us when we came out. Even if GS arrives later, we won’t be able to help much.”
“That’s true.” Michael thought for a moment. “There’s some equipment in the car we came in. Go get them now, but make sure nobody notices.”
“Leave it to me! Eugene patted his chest and got up to leave the bakery.
Time passed minute by minute.
In order to avoid the infiltration of the enemy’s spies into the Green Flamation forum, Freya and Inken decided to travel lightly and only contacted Jakob and a few other trustworthy members of the Green Flamation forum before driving to Sunshine Neighborhood in West Geft.
A man was sitting in the living room, smoking a cigarette, while two other men stood beside him, frowning
Stop smoking. Monkey. You made sure no one saw you when you came back, right?”
“Don’t you know my abilities? I conducted countersurveillance all the way back. Absolutely no one followed me. And after the mission was completed, I hid outside for another week. Relax, not even the gods will be able to find us here.”
If Freya were here, she would definitely recognize the man called Monkey sitting on the sofa as the person. who took the phone from Riley at the flower bed in front of the gate of the Kaufmann Residence.
Monkey spoke proudly and looked at the two men. “Why hasn’t Mr. Strategist come down yet?”
“Mr. Strategist’s matters are none of your concern. Just watch out for your own life!”
After waiting for nearly twenty minutes, they finally heard some movement at the spiral staircase on the second floor.
A man wearing a silver mask slowly walked down the stairs. Although his face was covered, his long coat still outlined his slender and vigorous figure.
Not to mention, his inverted triangle body shape exuded elegance and nobility.
Monkey was getting a little curious. Mr. Strategist has only recently arrived in Caltun, no? But now he’s directly managing all the members of LEV stationed here in Caltun.
“You’re back. Jamie’s voice was deep.
Monkey immediately stood up with a respectful smile on his face. “Mr. Strategist, the mission has been completed. Do you have any other tasks for me to do?”
As Monkey spoke, he leaned forward slightly.
Jamie pondered for a moment and noticed the box of cigarettes on the sofa. “Where did the cigarettes come from?”
Oh, I just bought it at the convenience store at the entrance.”
amie remained silent for a few seconds, and the atmosphere in the living room suddenly became tense. “I emember instructing you to come back immediately after completing the mission, didn’t I?”
In the cold, tense atmosphere, no one dared to speak.
Monkey was taken aback. I bought the box of cigarettes to give them to Mr. Strategist, but it seems I have angered im instead. Aren’t we acting a bit too cautious?
Don’t worry, sir. I chose a small, inconspicuous store. The owners are an elderly couple, and they haven’t nstalled any surveillance cameras. It’s definitely untraceable.”
amie pondered for a few seconds. “Keep this in mind: when facing the enemy, you can never be too autious. The Kaufmann and Monaghan families are already the two giants of Caltun. With the people rom the Green Flamation forum added into the mix, we are as good as bugs hunting on a spider’s web. Jo you understand?”
His last sentence was emphasized heavily, and a chill ran down Monkey’s spine when he met those behind the silver mask, which seemed so calm and aloof. He lowered his head and dared not look up again. “I-I understand! I will never make this mistake again!”
Jamie nodded. “Now then, there is one more task-”
His words suddenly stopped halfway as his gaze casually swept over the floor-to-ceiling window in the living room.
Sunlight was abundant during the daytime in the first place, so the glint hidden within the light was not clear.
A faint smile appeared at the corner of the lips behind the silver mask.
“Sir?” Monkey didn’t understand why the man in front of him stopped speaking.
The sunlight is quite intense. Draw the curtains.”
The west side of Villa No. 9 was lined with high-rise buildings.
Eugene gritted his teeth as he watched the curtains close in the window he was aiming at through the scope.
Now, he couldn’t see those people clearly!
But it seems the opponent’s vigilance isn’t that great, especially the one wearing a mask. He’s obviously the leader. Eugene thought for a moment, packed up his equipment, and headed downstairs.
When he reached the first floor, his phone rang. It was Michael calling.
“You’ve been gone for half an hour to get equipment from the car! What’s going on?”
Eugene felt guilty. It was true that he went to get the equipment, but he thought his brother was too rigid. and cautious. “Michael, I’ve already located their whereabouts. They’re at Villa No. 9.”
Michael’s voice grew louder on the other end of the phone. “You went in? Who gave you permission?! Retreat immediately!”
“Michael, those people are as elusive as ghosts. Now that we’ve finally located them, how can we not confront them? To pick a fight with the Green Flamation forum, they’re simply underestimating us!”
Michael was getting so frustrated his voice turned angry. “I’m telling you to retreat now!”
“I won’t retreat! But I can’t see the situation clearly from my current position. I plan to get closer to Villa No. 9 and see if there’s an opportunity to shoot them in the legs directly!”
Afraid of being scolded by Michael again, Eugene finished speaking and hung up the phone abruptly.
After leaving the corridor, he disguised himself as a resident living there, preparing to walk past the front of Villa No. 9.
As he passed by the front door, Eugene overheard two guards who seemed to be discussing something in hushed voices, and their conversation reached his ears.
“Why did he suddenly ask us to retreat?”
His last sentence was emphasized heavily, and a chill ran down Monkey’s spine when he met those eyes behind the silver mak, which seemed so calm and aloof. He lowered his head and dared not look up again. 1-1 understand! I will never make this mistake again”
Jamie nodded. “Now then, there is one more task—”
