Speechless…

Liens stared blankly at Jonathan for a while, as if trying to figure out how this person could be so brazen about slacking off.

Previously, he had thought Jonathan was the serious type, someone who preferred to handle matters officially.

He never expected this guy to just slack off directly.

This was an excellent case study, and he felt he needed to learn from Jonathan.

He hoped to become a glorious "slacker" in the future too.

Liens rolled his eyes back and refocused his attention on the mission.

Under the cover of night, Liens cautiously crept towards the Military Fortress.

Of course, while it was called sneaking, it was essentially just moving between various obstructions, with no real technical skill involved.

There were no sophisticated techniques like "Shadow Stealth" or "Ghost Steps" at all.

So, to an outsider, Liens's cautious movements, darting back and forth between bushes and buildings, looked quite comical.

"This kid has a good mindset; he didn't even react when he heard 'kill'."

"Has he had experience, or is he a born executioner?"

"Either way, I hope he can take care of the target himself; I don't want to clean up a mess."

Jonathan watched Liens slowly approach the Military Fortress, his eyes flickering as he pondered.

On the other side.

Liens, performing a clumsy stealth maneuver, found that no one was indeed following him.

After confirming that Jonathan was truly not going to get involved, as he had said, Liens relaxed quite a bit.

With no one following, he wouldn't have to worry about hiding his strength later.

Always holding back felt quite stifling.

Because they were not far to begin with, even with Liens's caution and slowness, he quickly arrived beside the Military Fortress's main gate.

He looked at the two guards standing on either side of the gate, pondering how to bypass them and enter the Military Fortress.

After some thought, he decided not to waste any more brain cells and just be direct.

This would also verify Jonathan's earlier words, to avoid the situation where he entered the Military Fortress only to find that his Glenbagen Family identity was useless.

Liens picked up a small stone from the ground and accurately threw it at the head of one of the guards.

"Who's there?"

The guard exclaimed, then repeatedly turned his head, searching for the person who had thrown the stone at him.

Soon, he found his target, because the target had no intention of hiding at all.

He watched a figure dressed in black, squatting in the green shrubbery and waving at him, and his eye twitched.

Anger began to surge uncontrollably within him.

He had seen thieves before, but never one so arrogant.

Just as he was about to go and teach the little thief a lesson, the other guard pulled him back. Thischapterwasuploadedbytheteamat*.

"Wait, don't be impulsive."

"Have you forgotten about that rumor from yesterday?"

"First, make sure whether the other party is here to act, then act; it's not too late."

The other guard said seriously.

"Yesterday's matter… are you talking about that unlucky guy?"

"So, this might be someone sent by the Glenbagen Family to act?"

Hearing his colleague's reminder, the guard's expression also turned serious.

"Looking at that black attire and that arrogant posture, it should be correct."

"Actually, I was already very surprised that that unlucky guy didn't die last night; I even thought the Glenbagen Family had changed their ways."

"I didn't expect that they just wanted to give that guy one more day, to let him struggle in despair."

The other guard said with a sigh.

"Oh… identity confirmed."

"Alright, let's go for a walk over there; let's not disturb others' work."

"I heard those dark guards kill without batting an eye."

"It's already very considerate that they didn't just walk over and demand we let them through."

The guard saw the wooden token in Liens's hand, slightly swaying and reflecting moonlight, then continued speaking to the other guard.

Having said that, he turned and left his post, calling out, "I have to pee, I'm going to the restroom first."

"Wait… I also have to pee; let's go together."

The other guard immediately chimed in.

Then the two figures slowly melted into the night, disappearing from Liens's sight.

"Quite useful… Is this the so-called power, the treatment of the privileged class?"

"A single token can make people turn a blind eye."

"Free passage, no worries."

Liens felt a bit emotional.

He had truly experienced the might of the Glenbagen Family at this moment.

Even if they were just tools, in the eyes of outsiders, they were part of the Glenbagen Family; they were superior beings.

Now he somewhat understood why Jonathan had a hint of pride in his tone when speaking of the Glenbagen Family's power.

Because experiencing this feeling often could indeed create the illusion of being a superior being oneself.

After a moment of reflection on some meaningless things, Liens waited a little longer, making sure the two guards weren't playing a trick on him.

Then he quickly went to the main gate, pushed open a crack, and entered the massive Military Fortress.

It was late at night, the time for sleep.

At this moment, the Military Fortress was quiet and dim, with only moonlight filtering through the windows and a few candlelights casting a faint glow into the darkness.

There was no one behind the door, so Liens didn't have to worry about the awkward situation of a "door kill."

The interior space of the Military Fortress was vast, but fortunately, its structure was not complicated, and there was a simple map on the mission brief.

So he could still clearly discern his location.

With the Military Fortress gate as the midpoint, the ordinary soldiers' dormitory was on the upper right side of the Military Fortress, and his mission target should be in the dormitory at this time.

This was written on the mission brief.

Although he was a bit puzzled as to why the soldier who had offended the Glenbagen Family would still obediently stay in the dormitory instead of running away?

But as long as the mission brief wasn't wrong, he should be able to find the person quickly.

Liens cautiously moved stealthily within the Military Fortress, trying his best to avoid patrolling guards along the way.

Although he knew those guards wouldn't make things difficult for him, it was better to play the part fully.

Moreover, he was worried that some fool who couldn't discern the situation might inadvertently expose him.

That way, the tacit assassination operation would truly become an open assassination.

Fortunately, such a situation did not occur.

He didn't know if Liens's stealth skills had improved, or if the guards inside had all willingly become "blind."

After some searching, he finally stood before the dormitory door numbered 0304.

Liens didn't rush to push the door open; instead, he sat directly on the ground, leaning against the wall, and closed his eyes to rest for a while.

This period wasn't long; soon, Liens opened his eyes and stood up.

He placed his hand on the door, then gently pushed open the unlocked door.

As the door was pushed open, a cold glint struck out.
