“Hello?”

“Shien,” Sia responded with just one word. Her subordinate understood her well. Other than a few people in the organization, not many knew her true identity. Only about eight to ten people were aware of it, and six of them were her direct subordinates.

The person who had just spoken was her assistant, a remarkably competent individual. Whenever Sia gave an order, he never questioned her. Instead, he would execute it flawlessly and assist her in managing things, just as he was doing now. Understanding that Sia wouldn’t want to reveal her identity, he must have come up with an excuse to arrange assistance for her.

“Hello, Mr. Shien. I’ve been waiting for your call. My superior just instructed me to assist you. How can I help?”

“What’s your position there?”

“Unfortunately, I’m just a server at the moment, as it’s only been a month since I joined this place.”

“Have you found anything suspicious at that location?” Sia asked again.

“Yes, I’ve seen several gamblers who couldn’t repay their debts taken to a ‘special room,’ but I’ve never seen them come out. I did some investigating and found that only a few of them were released. Those who were sent back were all dead. The rest seemed to have disappeared without a trace.”

“Have any of the victims’ families filed cases against the gambling den?”

“At first, a few families did file cases, but they were soon closed. It seems the owner of this gambling den has connections with politicians and businesspeople. Those who complied were given a small sum as compensation and were pressured to withdraw the case. Those who resisted were threatened and forced to leave town.”

“Do you know where those families are now?”

“No. Since it was beyond my responsibilities, I didn’t investigate further.”

“How many of our people are working at that location?”

“At the moment, two of us are stationed here.”

“Hmm…now listen carefully. I need a blueprint of that place as soon as possible. Secondly, I need you to immobilize the guards. Ideally, take them down without raising any alarms.”

After a moment’s thought, the person on the other end replied, “It’s not impossible to immobilize the guards quietly. I have a way to handle them.”

“Good. Next, I want one of you to monitor the outer area of the gambling den. Report any suspicious activity to me immediately.”

“Yes, sir.”

“I’ve informed your boss that you no longer need to work undercover here. For now, you may reveal your skills and work to complete the task as quickly as possible.”

“…Understood, sir.”

After hanging up, Sia turned to the driver and asked, “How long will it take to reach the place?”

“A few more minutes, sir. We’re almost there.” the driver informed

“Hmm…” Clicking her earpiece, she ordered, “Officers, get ready. We’ll be there shortly. Once we arrive, remain cautious and do not take any actions without informing me. I repeat, do no take any action without my approval. Follow my orders strictly….unless you don’t want t leave this place alive . Understood?”

“Yes, sir.” responded the team of officers following her

Just as Sia turned her head, she received a call from one of her subordinates.

“Mr. Shien, as you instructed, I surveyed the outer area of the gambling den and found two vans parked in the back alley. They’re transferring people from inside into the vans.”

Sia’s eyes turned cold as she asked, “How many of them are there?”

“I see five goons, but I suspect there are more inside.”

“Are they armed?”

“Yes, each has a handgun, and two of them are carrying rifles.”

“What about you?”

“I have a shotgun.”

“How many can you take down without alarming the enemy?” Sia asked

“I can take down three at most without drawing attention. But I’m not sure how many are inside, but it seems there are few more in there and taking action now might alert them.” the other person reported after carefully observing the situation inside.

“Hmm…then hold on for now. Don’t act yet. I’ll send an officer to assist you. In the meantime, keep monitoring and update me on any other movements.”

“Yes, Mr. Shien.”

Hanging up, she called Daniel. “Where are you?”

“Just outside the gambling den. It’s huge. I don’t think our current team is enough, Should we bring in more manpower?”

“We have limited resources right now. Requesting more resources might take time and even alert the enemy, so it’s best to work it out with whatever we have in hand. Don’t worry; I’m fully briefed on the situation inside.”

“So soon? Bro, how did you get information from inside when you’re still miles away?” Daniel asked from the other side, curious about Sia’s source of information

“I have my ways. Now, enough small talk. Do you have the gun?”

“Yes.”

“Good. How many officers are with you?”

“There are eight of them here with me.”

“Leave two officers behind and take the rest of them and head to the back alley. Our informant spotted some movement there—goons seem to be transferring people into a truck.”

“Are they trying to dispose of bodies or make an escape?”

“You will find out once you reach there” Sёarᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Understood, I’ll head there right away.”

“Hmm. Try to neutralize them quietly. If that’s impossible, wait until the situation inside is under control before acting.” Sia cautioned

“Got it.” Daniel responded seriously before taking action.

Hanging up the call, Sia looked at the blueprint and surveillance footage her subordinate had just sent, then turned to her officers.

Opening the blueprint, she instructed, “The five of you, look at the screen. This is the building’s blueprint, and I’ve sent it to each of you. Now, watch the surveillance footage carefully. According to the blueprint, this gambling den has five floors. The first and second floors are for common gamblers. There are more people but fewer guards.

Based on my observations, there are at most ten guards on each floor, and they’re relatively unskilled.”
