The expanse of fields and gardens outside the manor is vast. The anti-terrorism team that came this time doesn't have many members. While waiting in the car, Bill chatted with some members of the anti-terrorism team. Eventually, Bill, Jimmy, and a few other agents would join the encirclement.

The original plan was for them to follow the anti-terrorism team and be in charge of capturing, but now it shifted to entering from three directions.

Earlier, the drone had determined the situation around the manor. One direction led to the fields, where there were no signs of activity and no buildings, just a fence enclosing the field area, so that direction was temporarily abandoned.

Of the three remaining directions, the anti-terrorism team would advance from the front. There was a security booth by the roadside, and two people were seen inside earlier, which shouldn't be a big problem for a six-person team; they could be quietly tied up.

Another team, along with Bill leading the agents, would enter from the left and right. This assault targeted the main house, and the outside team needed to capture first by stealth.

Before the assault, the drone took off again for another round of reconnaissance of the manor. The previously marked locations on the map were checked again, confirming the number of people.

However, it seemed that the staff left in the evening, and now there were only five security guards visible outside the main building—two in the guard room next to the main entrance road, and three stationed separately not far from the main house, each alone.

The stables and ancillary buildings on the left side, and the workshop on the right, had no lights, indicating that no one should be there at this time.

The current drone was quite noisy; it couldn't lower its altitude significantly yet, easily alarming them. So, after verifying the present situation, the drone ascended back, and everyone sorted out their equipment, checking bullet-proof vests and guns. Several agents were also issued walkie-talkies and headsets, tested the channel, and ensured that the voice functioned normally, ready to depart.

Everyone got into the vehicles, and a few cars returned to the highway. As they approached the main entrance of the manor, the leading two SUVs switched on concealed sirens and lights, then sped to the manor's gate.

The foremost SUV didn't stop; instead, it accelerated toward the gate. This type of iron gate was not sturdy at all, crashing through without slowing down.

The second vehicle followed and, after entering the gate, turned and stopped next to the guardhouse. The following vehicles didn't stop either, charging in with the leading SUV.

Not far from the main building, the SUV turned left towards the stables and auxiliary buildings. One vehicle at the back turned right towards the guard room, each headed to their designated positions.

The two guards at the front entrance initially didn't react. When they heard the sirens, they stood up to look, only to be startled by the sudden gate crash-in.

Both drew their pistols, ready to fire outside, but suddenly noticed the vehicle next to them with all its doors open, revealing five people in bullet-proof vests with helmets, wielding rifles and aiming directly at them.

"Department of Homeland Security! Drop your guns! Drop your guns!"

Fortunately, they were a bit well-trained; though they were startled and had their guns raised, they didn't fire. Otherwise, they would've faced a hail of bullets. However, one guard kicked a hidden button in the guardhouse, and the alarm in the main house blared instantly.

The anti-terrorism team dropped their guns, tied the guards' hands and feet, searched them thoroughly, and threw them into the guardhouse. Then, they sped toward the main building, coordinating with the agent group to assault the main building directly.

The anti-terrorism team and the agent group that split left and right each rushed towards their respective targets. Since the positions were determined in advance, everyone reached their spots without encountering any obstacles.

The left-side anti-terrorism team charged toward the stables and adjacent buildings. Following that, the agents stormed the main house entrance. Jimmy and others aimed for the small room on the right.

Jimmy was in Bill's car. As they were nearing the position, he already had the door open. Once the car stopped, Jimmy smoothly exited without pause.

When Jimmy jumped out, he staggered slightly; inertia couldn't be canceled directly, so he had to adjust his posture to steady himself. He kicked at the door, pointing his gun inside, "FBI, don't move." Inside the small room was just one person, the point for which they were responsible.

Without waiting for the person inside to react, Jimmy lunged forward, grabbing a shoulder with his left hand and flinging him aside to the ground. He then caught the arm and twisted it behind the person's back.

Bill wasted no time either. He stopped and immediately ran over to help cuff the man's hands, while Jimmy tied the feet with zip ties, beginning to search him.

While searching, Jimmy said, "The alarm's gone off. The people inside should be aware now."

Bill: "You hurry up, I'll head over first." With that, he walked out holding a pistol.

With the rush in getting out, he came out carrying a pistol; the rifle remained in the car. Mainly, Jimmy's actions were so swift that not having worked together before, Bill didn't expect Jimmy to jump out before stopping.

Earlier during weapon distribution, Jimmy didn't take a rifle; his own pistol sufficed. Here in the manor house, a pistol suited him better.

He finished searching the guard, tossing out the gun and dagger, leaving the person in the small room. Jimmy followed, Bill already grabbed the M4 rifle from the car and charged toward the main house.
