However, the presence of the girls made the mercenaries lower their guard. Little did they know that the Presgrave Family had sent international special agents. They believed the Presgrave Family’s defense was limited to their security team. So, they decided to have some fun with these attractive girls first. They started discussing indecent topics, and two of them had even begun to touch the girls.
In the room, the atmosphere was charged, fueling excitement among the mercenaries. However, unbeknownst to them, an unexpected threat was lurking just outside the window.
Jasper and Sirius each took up a position at a window, using hand gestures to coordinate their actions.
Moments before this, Jasper had planted explosives in the vehicles outside. Even if these men tried to escape, they wouldn’t have a chance.
Following Sirius’ command, Jasper shot two of the mercenaries inside in the head, killing them instantly. The rest immediately sought cover and pulled out their guns, firing at the windows.
Inside the room, the girls’ screams could be heard, but at that moment, the mercenaries had lost interest in their revelry. Their sole focus was on eliminating the enemies outside.
In fact, Sirius and Jasper’s goal was to scare them out and force them into their vehicles.
Jasper found a concealed spot and aimed his sniper rifle at an enemy. With precise aim, he took down one of the enemies with a headshot. Meanwhile, his partner quickly unleashed a barrage of gunfire into the darkness.
They could not determine the number of hidden troops at that moment, so they decided to get in the car and escape before anything else. As a result, the remaining five got in the car one after another, preparing to flee.
However, right after the car moved about 220 yards, there was a loud explosion. In an instant, the car was sent flying nearly 10 feet high in the air and turned into a ball of flames.
Aiming their weapons at the ball of explosion, Sirius and Jasper unleashed a hail of gunfire, precisely eliminating their targets. Then, they returned to the room and rescued the three girls, who were already scared out of their wits.
Sirius escorted them back to the highway and flagged down a car; after getting them in, he had the driver take them safely back to the city. When he flashed the weapon in his hand, the driver quickly agreed out of fear, not daring to have any malicious intentions.
Watching the sunrise in the distance, Sirius and Jasper then called their organization for reinforcements to come over and clean up the gruesome scene.
They accomplished the mission perfectly, but little did they know that one person was left behind. He was the last one to arrive at the rendezvous point, but upon his arrival, he saw his teammates brutally eliminated upon his arrival. Seizing the moment when those cleaners were not paying attention, he climbed onto the back of the truck loaded with dead bodies. The moment he found one person in particular, his fists clenched in resentment because that person was none other than his elder brother.
He was brought into this job by his brother but was held up by some business and ended up arriving only several days later. Unexpectedly, these few days of delay rendered him in separation by death with his elder brother.
The man had a local appearance, and his family hailed from this country. However, they had long since broken away from the nation, becoming mercenaries for the world’s superpowers.
After removing his elder brother’s wristwatch, he quickly jumped off the truck and went into hiding. Then, he extracted a memory card from the wristwatch and promptly connected it to his laptop, retrieving footage of everything that had happened that night. He watched the entire extermination captured by the wristwatch, and when the final image froze on the screen, he said through clenched teeth, “It’s you once again!”
The person captured in the image was none other than Jasper. Despite the blurry lighting, he recognized him at a glance. That person had once sabotaged his operations and subjected him to inhuman punishment.
He had sought Jasper before to seek revenge for their previous encounter. However, he never expected that the person he had spent half a year searching in vain for would show up here. Furthermore, this time, this person killed the only family he had left in the world.
“Brother, I’ll avenge you. I’ll honor you with his decapitated head,” he swore, slamming his fist hard on the ground.
In the meantime, Sirius and Jasper had returned to the safehouse. During tonight’s operation, Sirius had sustained a graze wound on his arm from a bullet, so it needed bandaging.
After Jasper finished bandaging his wound, he turned on his laptop and began checking the footage captured by the camera he had installed. Suddenly, a figure came into the frame but disappeared soon afterward.
“We missed one person. He returned to the scene,” he told Sirius.
Sirius replied imperturbably, “Seems like the Presgraves aren’t out of danger yet. Now that this person is acting alone, we’ll have a hard time tracking his movements.”
Jasper immediately tapped away at the keyboard, trying to identify the person, but to no avail. “This person is meticulous at counter-surveillance. He didn’t show up in any surveillance footage of nearby places; he might’ve entered the city.”
“Then, we gotta be more vigilant. He’s now lurking in the dark, watching our movements,” said Sirius as he lay down to rest, closing his eyes.
Jasper did not disturb him. Instead, he went to another room, and his phone started vibrating. He picked it up and answered it, “Hello.”
Willow’s worried voice rang on the other end. “I heard you disappeared last night. Where are you? Are you okay?!”
“I’m fine. I went out last night to meet with my partner.” He reassured her.
“When will you be back at my place, then?”
“I’ll come over in the afternoon,” said Jasper. I still need to check out the mercenary who slipped through the cracks.
“Alright, then. I’ll wait for you,” replied Willow reluctantly.
“Remember to stay put.”
“I got it! I’ll listen to you and not cause any trouble,” she assured, promising she would not cause any trouble for him. Even Jared is working from home now, doing his best to remove obstacles and not add to their stress.
Meanwhile, Jasper expanded the scope of his search. After pulling an all-nighter last night, he continued to work tirelessly, his eyes bloodshot.
Sirius had awoken from sleep and noticed that he was still in his room searching for the mercenary. He could not help but advise, “Shouldn’t you get some sleep? You can’t keep staying up like this.”
Jasper closed his eyes. At that very moment, his nerves were stretched taut as a string. If they failed to capture the mercenary, it would be like planting a bomb next to the Presgraves.
“Here, take one of this and go to sleep.” Sirius handed him a sleeping pill. This was their way of forcing themselves to sleep.
Jasper took it and washed it down with water. After that, he lay down on the couch and closed his eyes to sleep.
Just an hour later, he was jolted awake by a nightmare. He had not had nightmares in a long time, but in the dream, he saw Willow being held hostage by the mysterious mercenary approaching him.
Even in his sleep, the scene was enough to bring him out in a cold sweat.
As he opened his eyes and realized it was not reality, he noticed his forehead was already covered in a cold sweat.
“You had a nightmare?” Sirius asked him. This time, it was his turn to operate the laptop, but the task he had taken on yielded some results. “I checked the illegal fishing boats on the coast and found something at last.” He handed the laptop over to Jasper.
Only a blurry figure was captured on-screen, but Jasper’s heart clenched at the sight of it. “It’s him!”
His reaction startled Sirius. “What’s wrong? You’ve seen him before?”
Jasper explained, “He’s a top assassin trained by Moncent. He got fired for making mistakes, but he’s in the same league as us in terms of fighting skills and other capabilities. He’s a highly trained killing machine.”
Seeing that even Jasper showed a hint of fear toward that person, Sirius dared not take this lightly anymore. He said with a nod, “We gotta stay vigilant, then.”
Jasper was alarmed, too. If he were protecting anyone else, he might be able to carry out his task with ease. However, since he was guarding the Presgraves, he had to ensure his task was completed flawlessly.
“Jasper, for now, I need you to closely protect the Presgraves at once. You need to live under the same roof with them,” said Sirius with a serious countenance.
Jasper agreed with this suggestion. This assassin is highly capable and can disable any surveillance cameras, sneaking in anywhere like a ghost.
