“Yes, Commander,” Ray affirmed without hesitation. “After trying to look at different places, I’ll immediately inform you.”Oliver nodded in response.“Anyway, their last member was supposed to be James…” Ray added, his tone low.There was even hesitation in his voice, not sure whether he would continue his statement or not.“However, he was kicked out of the group when he reported Card Elite to the authorities,” Ray told them. “It led to Card Elite’s banishment, and Colossia's crime rate lowered after that.”“What?” Melissa’s brows furrowed in confusion. “I thought they were just an ordinary group… But what did they do for the crime rate to decrease after their banishment?”Ray didn’t answer immediately. Instead, he heaved a sigh.“They were doing all kinds of dirty work in exchange for money,” Ray finally answered, his tone low. “That includes stealing in a bank with James’ hacking skills, assassinations, and others I haven’t discovered yet.”Upon hearing those words, Melissa almost

The silence filled the conversation as Rowan didn’t answer immediately.Not by choice, but because he couldn’t find the right words to say.‘Strategy?’ Rowan thought, his brows furrowing in confusion. ‘Perhaps… Did I just accidentally give him an idea?’Rowan wanted to massage his head in sudden frustration, but he couldn’t do it as Oliver was in front of him.‘For sure that he would be suspicious if he sees me frustrated,’ he added.“The more that we’re dragging things, the more Jack manages to be one step ahead of us,” Oliver said, his tone low. “That’s why we need to attack immediately.”Upon hearing those words, Rowan’s eyes widened.“What do you mean… attack immediately?” Rowan asked, his tone low and suspicious. “It’s not… what I think it is, right?”“We’re going to attack Card Elite as soon as Melissa locates their headquarters,” Oliver answered, his gaze cold and unwavering. “You know it. Melissa had been trying to locate them.”Rowan nodded. “Yeah.”‘No shit, Sherlock,’ said

“Also, Vesta is making another equipment that could read someone’s mind once we take their brain,” Jack added, his tone low.“Once it was created, Samuel would tell us everything, even if he didn’t want to.”The chills sent down Rowan’s spine, and also to Samuel, who was silently listening to their conversation while panting rapidly.His entire appearance isn’t good anymore. There was blood all over his face and body, and his face was wounded and swollen.Samuel didn’t have any idea how much further his body would be able to take Jack’s torture, but one thing is for sure.‘I am willing to die if that means they couldn’t take any information from me.’“Anyway, did you say that you’re doing a good job impersonating Samuel?” Jack asked Rowan, his lips curving into a smirk. “Dumbass. It’s only a matter of time before they realize you’re fake.”Rowan blinked in surprise. “W-What?”“I told you. Legion V is not as dumb as you think.” Jack shook his head. “You’re doing a horrible job now on u

Oliver looked at everyone, then his gaze moved to the clock.“It’s still early in the morning, so use this time to sleep more. We’ll have our meeting at nine o’clock,” Oliver told them.They only nodded in response, acknowledging his command.As Oliver returned to his room, the others did the same.Rowan went back to Samuel’s room and immediately called Jack’s number.It didn’t take long before Jack answered the call.“Didn’t you sleep?” Rowan asked, his brows furrowing in confusion. “It’s early in the morning.”“Yet you’re calling me at this time, so it means it’s urgent,” answered Jack in the other line. “I’m helping Vesta with his recent invention.”Jack pointed to his phone as he looked at Vesta, who immediately understood that Jack needed to step out for a moment to talk to Rowan.As Jack went to an empty room, he spoke again.“Why did you call? Is it about Legion V?”“Yes,” Rowan replied, his tone low. “They already know about the Card Elite’s headquarters.”Jack froze upon hear

Rowan is determined to give his all in the Card Elite’s mission.Because giving the old version of the blueprint isn’t the end of Rowan’s plan.There is another thing he must do to ensure the success of their mission… And that is to lure the Legion V to follow the strategy he has in mind.“I have a suggestion, if you don’t mind,” Rowan said as he raised his hand and shifted into his seat.Oliver looked at Rowan, his brows furrowing. “You already thought of a strategy that quick?” he asked, his voice laced with curiosity. “We have just taken a look at the blueprint just now.”‘Damn, I somehow forgot that he’s observant,’ said Rowan at the back of his mind, internally shaking his head.‘That’s the only words I have said, yet he caught up to that before I could even know it.’“Well… The Card Elite may be intimidating, but based on the blueprint found by Melissa, there is an easier way to infiltrate it,” Rowan answered, his tone low.Rowan intentionally mentioned Melissa’s name, knowing
