As Ye Wei, Eleven, and Mo Jue stared at Xu Nuo, she neither replied nor ignored them. She said in a factual manner, “My jade pendant is with him, and I am taking it back.”
“Who on earth takes back a token of love? Dear Xu Nuo, you are too cute.” Ye Wei could not help but smile. This kid was out for the last word, but she was cute. In that case, never mind then. If she was that stubborn, so be it.
Ye Wei reminded her again. “If there is danger, please do not act tough. Do you understand?”
Xu Nuo nodded. “Understood!”
Once they had reached a consensus, the few of them split up and got to work.
Ye Wei and Eleven changed their outfits then bartered an exchange with the islanders for some guns and hand grenades in exchange for their helicopter. Since they had also brought some of their own guns and grenades, they were brimming with firepower. Ye Wei and Eleven were formidable for their time, and while Xu Nuo’s ability was far from theirs, she was not unable to protect herself. On the overall, they were a very formidable team.
That afternoon, some yachts approached the island. Eleven, with Xu Nuo, watched from the vantage point through a telescope. There were five of them who seemed capable. They were all fully armed, alert, and brutal.
“Wei Wei, they have arrived.”
“Got it!”
Mo Jue’s face was clearly too obvious, so Ye Wei worked on his face and forcefully turned a gorgeous man into the guy next door. It was only his clear purple gaze that stood out beautifully.
As the two of them flirted on the island, with one of them cutely calling the other wifey and the other teasing him alluringly, they followed behind the team and waited to pounce. As they shopped separately, they bought more items at once and decided that each of them would be responsible for a few people.
Ye Wei was responsible for taking out two of them, while Mo Jue would take out three of them. As Eleven and Xu Nuo watched, the two cold personalities did not wait too long before they came back. The little couple worked very well together and acted extremely quickly.
As the few of them boarded the yacht and landed on the island from a blind spot. They then dragged the yacht to a rock and concealed it properly lest it draw attention. The mountain was far back on the island. A cliff on the other edge of the island was treacherous and the sound of the waves tapping on it became exceptionally scary.
“We do not know when Chu Li’s helicopter will arrive, so approaching from the cliffs would be safer,” Ye Wei said as she pointed at the cliffs. She had sent the signals and was waiting for Chu Li to send his A-team over.
With the terrorists’ nearest garrison in Italy, it would take quite a long time as the Atlantic Ocean seemed to endlessly extend. While they were familiar with how to wage war on the waters, they could not escape too far as they only had yachts at their disposal.
Unless they wiped everyone out on the island, this would remain an evident difficulty.
“Xu Nuo, come over here.” Eleven reached out and brought Xu Nuo along. “Stay close and don’t run around.”
Xu Nuo nodded. As she was still young, she was indeed nowhere comparable to Ye Wei and Eleven in many areas. Ye Wei did not know how capable Mo Jue was either, and whether they could avoid traps. She then decided to bring him along.
When Mo Jue saw his wife reach out her small, pale hands on her own initiative, he broke into a beaming smile and his purple gaze clearly elated. He could not help but peck Ye Wei’s face a few times. Ye Wei wanted to slap him off, for he was such a pig to take advantage of her.
“Dear wifey, you are so fierce.” Mo Jue accused. Ye Wei smiled and said, “If wifey is fierce, go find another wifey.”
“No!” Mo Jue flatly refused.
“Then, shut up!” Ye Wei said domineeringly whilst Mo Jue gave a neutral face. Had Ye Wei roared at him again, he would immediately cry for her. Ye Wei was speechless and decided to ignore him for now. He is useless—she repeated that thought countless times in her head.
As the back of the mountain, which lacked ambushes, traps, and IR scans, was safe, the protected areas were much different. There were minefields everywhere and IR scanners constantly scanning. When they were detected by the IR scanners, an alarm to warn the island of trespassers would ring.
If they were unfamiliar with these traps and their movement patterns, they would have given themselves away a long time ago. They reached the front of the island despite several near-misses and blended into the woods to observe the situation.
There was a helipad not too far away. Ye Wei squinted and shrugged Mo Jue away. “Marshmallow, stay here and do not move.”
As she crawled forward, avoiding assassins and guards in the towers, she quickly disappeared into the helipad.
Not too long later, she appeared. As the two of them worked perfectly in sync with each other, she saw Eleven’s gesture and avoided the guards in the tower, deftly returning in a moment. Mo Jue was curious and asked, “Wifey, what did you do there?”
“Kids should not ask so much. Shush.” Ye Wei shut him up and Mo Jue obediently did not ask anything else. Eleven looked at the woods and squinted. “Let’s make a detour through here!”
Ye Wei nodded. Thankfully, there were few traps in the woods and Ye Wei smiled alluringly. “The defenses are definitely not set up by the rebels. There are clearly no traps in the woods.”
Eleven squinted and observed her surroundings while the detector remained quiet. She acknowledged and said, “Indeed!”
A natural defense was wasted!
As they detoured through the woods, they reached the beach and training grounds where a few people were squatting on the ground. According to the map that Mo Jue looked up and comparing it against the military fortifications on the island, there were no differences.
“This is a prison, but we will have to pass through the training grounds,” Eleven said. There was only one way toward the prison. It was either through the training grounds or across the roofs of the buildings. However fast they were, they would be detected by the IR scanners and get shot up beyond recognition.
“Look, that’s my master,” Xu Nuo said flatly as she stared straight in front of her.
A group of people walked out from the training grounds, with Xu Nuo’s master leading the pack. There were four to five men who followed him and it seemed that said master seemed to be quietly giving them instructions based on how the men were obediently listening on. Ye Wei and Eleven guessed that he should be the person calling the shots on the island. As they were too far away, they could not make out what he was saying. Ye Wei took up a telescope and observed the old man in detail then passed it to Eleven. “Look, is it him?”
“Yes!” Eleven squinted. “It is indeed him. I saw his photograph at the old witch’s place.”
“That’s it!” Ye Wei squinted and tapped Xu Nuo’s head. “Darling, see how auntie takes care of him in a moment.”
Xu Nuo was stunned into silence.
As the young men around the old man scattered, they suddenly launched a signal flare. A blue-green light rocketed into the sky, clearly obvious. Ye Wei curled her lips into a smile. The deed was done. The timing was utterly precise.
As the signal flare rose, the island immediately bustled to life. While the old man was about to return, he suddenly turned around and many ran toward the seaside and got their bearings. They quickly confirmed that the people who went shopping earlier had launched the signal flare.
Many rushed out from the houses, men and women. The men were young, with no teenagers or children. There were hundreds of them.
Ye Wei and Eleven looked at each other. There were too many of them.
As they guessed that the men and women they were against were formidable, the three of them would not hold out against so many formidable experts. They did not know how many people those few men could distract.
Quickly, Ye Wei and company knew that only twenty-plus of them had left. They saw tens of them on the island alone. Ye Wei looked at the weather, and with the sun setting, the sky was about to turn dark. She made some calculations on the time and decided to act once the sky turned dark.
Ye Wei, who was using the computer to connect to Chu Li but unable to do so due to interference, could only leave him a message and rely on her years of instinct to get the task done.
As Xu Nuo was the youngest, Ye Wei had her guard the computer to receive information. Once the sky turned dark, Ye Wei, Mo Jue, and Eleven got down to work. They took out ten-over hidden sentries without alerting anyone thanks to their years on the job. Ye Wei even took out the four guards in the towers silently and propped their bodies against the pillar to create the impression of the guards still guarding.
They took out more than fifty people in half an hour. As it was dinner time and the people were less alert than usual. Maybe it was bad luck, but somebody who went to the toilet bumped into a body and immediately sounded the alarm. All the men on the island immediately ran out.
With a sharp gaze, the old man commanded the crowd to thoroughly search the areas. Ye Wei and Eleven decided to go the whole nine yards and went loud.
Xu Nuo, watching from the woods, was extremely nervous. There were too many of them.
There weren’t a hundred, but hundreds of people, that were each good shooter. Gunfire rang out on the island, and the computer suddenly came to life. Chu Li sent a message: reaching in an hour’s time.
Xu Nuo rejoiced and replied: ASAP. There is a battle ongoing on the island.
Chu Li acknowledged receiving.
Xu Nuo put the computer aside and observed the firefight intently. The chaos from the guns, multiple explosions, and roiling smoke filled the air with the smell of gunpowder. Xu Nuo felt the smell of gunpowder was too intense and overpowering.
“F***, there are too damn many of them.” Ye Wei angrily shouted as she threw a hand grenade. As the hand grenade was off-the-shelf, it was not as powerful as those that the terrorists’ used. Not mentioning the limited number of hand grenades they had, Ye Wei was even more irritated.
As the enemy outnumbered them, Ye Wei and Eleven threw hand grenades directly into the crowd. As flashes of fire arose, dust was kicked up and agonizing screams immediately followed. The scene was absolutely chaotic.
The old man, knowing that his ‘visitors’ were capable people, coldly smiled as he carried a huge sniper rifle. Mo Jue, knowing that things were not good, quickly had Eleven and Ye Wei back off. The old man pulled the trigger, and a flash appeared in the muzzle of the weapon.
As Ye Wei and company backed off, a mansion in front of them had half of it blown away. Rocks flew and smoke rose.
The weapon was extremely powerful.
It was surely badass.
Eleven’s gaze grew cold. “What damn thing is this?”
It was too powerful.
The old man chambered another round in the weapon and was about to pull the trigger when Ye Wei and Eleven acted together. One threw a flying dagger whilst another threw a silver needle. As these concealable weapons were very light, the old man was keen enough to catch both Ye Wei’s silver needle and Eleven’s flying dagger.
“Folks from the First Terrorist Organization, huh? Humph!” He coldly harrumphed. He suddenly shouted, “Chase them down! I want them alive!”
He sounded bright yet murderous.
He particularly emphasized ‘First Terrorist Organization’.
Ye Wei and Eleven were both extremely shocked and could not believe what had just happened. Apart from the old witch, there was nobody else in the world who could catch their concealed weapons. Few could avoid them, and to think…
That both of their concealed weapons could be caught…
It was incredulous.
Ye Wei remembered that the last time she exchanged blows with the old witch was at the Spanish branch last year when she directly threw a concealable weapon at the old witch, which the latter ducked. To catch the concealable weapons was quite difficult, and it seemed that had Eleven and her both thrown their concealable weapons at the same time, the old witch could not have caught them both.
But this old man made it seem particularly easy.
‘F***!’
What kind of twisted person was this?
“Wifey, let’s pull out. He’s too strong,” Mo Jue said in spite of his innocent gaze and slightly weak voice. He could tell that he was a very aggressive person despite his age.
“F*** off, you are diminishing yourself to elevate him.” Ye Wei raged and slapped him. She then grabbed Mo Jue and ran. “Run if we have to. Let’s not let ourselves be disadvantaged.”
Eleven shook her head. Had this been before, Wei Wei would have grabbed her and ran. ‘Wei Wei, how dare you neglect your friends when smitten with your new love!’
As she followed the two of them and ran, she pondered for a moment. “Wei Wei, let’s hit-and-run them and take them down one-by-one. I don’t expect them to be able to catch on our plans, so let’s draw them into the woods.”
“My thoughts exactly.” Ye Wei coldly smiled. “He is, without a doubt, that old witch’s secret lover. I know what his plans are. Humph. Like I said, please do not get into an ambiguous relationship with somebody from the opposite camp, or they would end up knowing everything.”
Mo Jue blinked in silence.
Eleven said, “Wei Wei, think about yourself before judging others.”
“…Okay then! Like master, like disciple.”
…
As gunshots rang behind them, the three of them quickly darted into the woods and broke up into three different routes. They quietly blended into the woods.
The old man’s face sunk and he waved for them to stop and form three different groups before entering the woods.
There was a cold smile on his face.
On the other side of the forest, Xu Nuo noticed nobody on the training grounds. While Ye Wei instructed her not to move…
Be adaptable in all things.
She deftly stood up and rushed out of the woods. She saw the old man bring men to chase after Ye Wei, Eleven, and Mo Jue, so there shouldn’t be anybody else on her side. Even if there were people, their defenses should be very weak.
She quickly zipped through the training grounds and sprinted for the prison.
