Chapter 454: Chapter 461: Flying Hawk Squad Deployed

Nanhua City was only a little over 200 kilometers away from Capital City. Although it was not particularly large, its proximity to Capital City also made it incredibly bustling.

Even at night, Nanhua City was very lively. It was not until midnight that it slowly quieted down.

In a three-story building near the bustling district, darkness had also descended. The place served as an office for a company. In Nanhua City, there were many such companies, and nobody paid them much attention.

But tonight, it seemed this company was about to become extraordinary.

Two shadows, nimble as civets, darted to the front of the company’s building, crouching beneath a window each. One of them gestured with a wave of the hand while the other, holding something in hand, drew a small circle on the glass. Placing another hand on the glass and giving a gentle pull, he managed to extract a small circular piece.

Reaching inside, he softly unlocked the window and opened it as smoothly as flowing water, without dragging his feet or making the slightest sound.

Once the window was open, they did not immediately move but instead listened intently for a while. One after another, they slipped inside the room, landing without a sound.

Walking cautiously a few steps, one of the trespassers pointed to a location high on the side wall. The other nodded; to most it appeared as a regular ceiling panel, but to them, a hidden camera lay there. The camera was so well concealed that an ordinary person would not notice it, yet they spotted it before even approaching. The camera’s angle covered the corridor, and passing through that area would surely place them within its line of sight.

"Thud!" Suddenly, a muffled sound erupted from outside. Silently counting to three, they then rapidly dashed forward, likely leaving only fleeting shadows in the camera’s view.

In a security room on the first floor, two people were chatting and watching the monitors.

Ordinarily, security guards in such surveillance rooms wouldn’t pay much attention to the monitors—more often than not, they served as a recording tool to check in the event of an incident. A casual glance every now and then would suffice.

However, these two were clearly much more attentive than the average guard; when one looked away, the other’s gaze certainly remained fixed on the monitor screens without missing even a second.

From this, one could tell that these two guards were definitely of the most professional sort, and also very serious. If the guards were this extraordinary, it seemed likely that the other people and even the building itself were not so ordinary.

With a "thud," a burst of sparks erupted inside one of the monitors, causing both to tense up and observe closely. It showed an electrical outlet in the courtyard, seemingly short-circuiting and plunging the corner into darkness.

Now, their attention captured by this monitor, they missed the sight of two figures swiftly crossing another screen.

"What’s going on, why are there sparks all of a sudden? It couldn’t be some kind of accident, could it?" one guard muttered, frowning.

"What could possibly happen? We’ve been here a long time without any incident. It’s just an accident. We’ll get an electrician to fix it tomorrow."

"Still, we can’t be careless. You know how strict the organization is. If any problems arise because of our negligence, we will surely face severe punishment."

"Ha-ha... I fear punishment, of course, but think about it, how long have we been undercover here? Has anyone ever suspected us? Plus, in Huaxia, we’ve always been very secretive; no one would dare target us."

As they spoke, a sound suddenly came from outside the door: "Squeak, squeak..."

"Damn rats, running in here now," one guy cursed irritably.

"How did a rat get in?"

"Who knows? In this world, there’s no place a rat can’t reach. They’re the most annoying creatures. Oh, I need to put away my sausage before those damn rats steal it."

While talking, one of the guys approached the security room door and casually opened it.

But just at that moment, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of him. Before he could react, a heavy blow landed on his neck, and his brain instantly lost consciousness. His body, however, remained standing because the person in front had caught him by now.

"Hey, what are you doing standing there?"

Another person asked, but his companion didn’t respond at all and immediately stood up. However, before he could reach his partner, a dagger was already flying towards him.

This guy turned out to be a master. Despite the surprise and haste, he still managed to react a bit, but the dagger came too quickly. He didn’t completely dodge it, though he avoided vital areas.

"Ah!" With a scream, the man quickly retreated backward, his hands slapping a button on the table.

"Damn!" As a loud curse rang out, a figure had already reached behind the man, a dagger swiftly slicing across his throat, but it could not stop him from sending a signal.

"I say, Twenty-Nine, your level is really mediocre."

"Cut the talk, you’re not much better than me. We’ve moved from ambush to direct attack now, it’s even more exciting."

The two men who had entered were Tian Dong and Zhou Qiang, members of the Flying Hawk Squad. As trained by Li Yifei, they were never careless in their undertakings. However, even they hadn’t anticipated that they would encounter someone with such skill in this place, and so a small tactical mistake was made.

If this had been a major mission, they would have retreated immediately after such an error to avoid being surrounded. But this time, they had already mapped out the situation here. There were definitely no more than twenty terrorists, and with their skills, they could take on these twenty-something people even in a frontal assault.

Li Yifei was outside, and receiving Zhou Qiang’s signal, he glanced at Zheng Mingrui. Mingrui frowned slightly; it seemed like there was already a problem at the start of the mission, and his performance as the Team Leader of Flying Hawk Squadron did not seem up to par.

"Damn it, these two blockheads, to be so careless. I’ll have to make them go through extra training later." Zheng Mingrui muttered, yet he wasn’t really embarrassed. He knew he was always a step behind Li Yifei, a gap he was clear about and continually striving to close. Moreover, it was his first time commanding with Li Yifei observing by his side. If anything was amiss, Li Yifei could offer guidance, which would be a tremendous benefit for him.

"Quickly charge to the third floor and capture their key personnel," Zheng Mingrui ordered briskly.

Tian Dong and Zhou Qiang acknowledged and immediately rushed upstairs. At the second-floor stairwell, they encountered resistance from the enemy.

There were four men, two Huaxia people, while the other two, despite being Asian with yellowish skin, had slightly darker complexions, were shorter, and had defining cheekbones, suggesting they were not Huaxia People but perhaps Vietnamese or Indonesian.

The four had rushed down from the third floor, their movements incredibly swift, clearly not weak. Upon seeing Tian Dong and Zhou Qiang, they said nothing and charged straight at them.

While Tian Dong and Zhou Qiang’s martial skills might have been somewhat inferior to Li Yifei’s, as members of the Flying Hawk Squad, they were unquestionably strong. To others, these four men might be considered skilled, but compared to the Flying Hawk members, they fell short. Even in a two-on-four situation, Tian Dong and Zhou Qiang had little trouble killing three and seriously wounding the fourth.

Without delay, they continued their charge to the upper floors. Their main objective here wasn’t just to kill; more importantly, it was to find useful information to help completely uproot the Terrorist Organization’s foundation in Huaxia.

But when the two men got to the top, they faced unexpectedly weak resistance and easily took down everyone there.

When Zheng Mingrui and Li Yifei arrived inside the villa and assessed the situation, Mingrui furrowed his brow and said, "It seems they were prepared in advance, and the important figures have already left."

Li Yifei nodded and said, "This Joseph is quite a clever guy, guessing that I would definitely find his branch here and evacuating the people early." Then, he looked at Zheng Mingrui with a smile.

Mingrui’s face changed abruptly under Li Yifei’s gaze, and he said urgently, "We need to retreat."

The group immediately leaped down from the third floor and rushed outside. Before they reached the main gate, a tremendous blast sounded behind them, followed by a powerful explosion, the wave hitting them from behind. The small building on the third floor had been filled with high-grade explosives, which in the blink of an eye turned into rubble.

However, because they reacted quickly enough, they managed to escape unscathed despite being covered in dust and grime. Even so, the incident severely annoyed them; it was rather humiliating to end up in such a disheveled state while dealing with a branch of a Terrorist Organization.
