Chapter 150 - Decision.
After wrapping up the stuff, Yang Dao sent the videos to the office back in jewel Nation. The three people then waited for the higher-ups to speak. In the meantime, they squinted their eyes and took naps while one person kept watching.
The satellite phone rang all of a sudden and Yang Dao immediately picked it up. The other side said, “Deal with the rats and the next step is left to your own description.”
The call was brief and the message was clear. Yang Dao put the phone back on the table as he leaned back on the couch. Carole asked him., “What did they say?”
The boy glanced at her and told her the message. Tony was also awake and he heard the whole thing. He said, “Well, how about we do it in phases?”
Yang Dao gazed at him without speaking. Tony continued, “Deal with the rats first. Then we toss about what to do and what not to do.”
The three people nodded in agreement. They had been given a list of assets by the HQ so they located these people by hacking in the surveillance network. Three out of these ten assets have been missing for three days exactly. Yang Dao used a triangulation algorithm to track them down.
He said, “They might have guards and all. You leave the recon and infiltration to me. If the security is too tight, you guys help me create distractions. Okay?”
Tony asked, “How do we do that?” his tone was showing toward the fact that they had only their sidearms and not much ammunition. 4 magazines of bullets won’t be enough to create a distraction.
Yang Dao shook his head and said, “You just tell me how far you can throw a projectile weighing around a quarter kilogram? Also, how fast can you run? I will create the tools of distraction for you.”
Tony was confused but till now everything has worked fine as they followed Yang Dao’s arrangement. Earlier he perfectly got the developer to speak. He exploited the common trait among the Cryptonians. Their greed for fake pride and glory.
The two people answered the questions he asked. Yang Dao had Carole play the getaway guy, while Tony was the decoy in danger. Yang Dao was the main assault and infiltration guy. Just when the two people were wondering how this guy will make them the tools for a distraction.
The boy stood up and walked into the washroom. Then he asked Carole to go outside and bring some other things. Tony heard the list of things and stood up in surprise. He said, “You intend to make bombs?”
Dao Child smiled and said, “Bingo.” ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
Tony shook his head, “Surely the topper, huh. This was taught for just one class in training. And the instructor only mentioned the chemicals that can make a bomb but who would have thought that you guy actually learned it and even found the ingredients.”
Yang Dao smiled and said, “You also figured it out means you are smart enough too. So, can you help me?”
Tony nodded and when Carole came back with the stuff she bought with the help of her subject ‘the hotel manager’ the two people made ten makes to do bombs. Carole shook her head and said, “Why don’t I remember such a thing?”
Tony said, “You were trained by the special forces?” the former shook her head in denial and that was the answer.
Before moving to the Investigation unit, Tony was a common military cadet, and he had taken part in special training exercises as well. Carole was a proper investigator, she was taught only how to extract information from other people. Yang Dao was a proper special forces person. He was trained in everything, but not specialized in one thing only.
The sun was about to set when the people walked out of their rooms. Yang Dao spent some effort and cloned three cameras for themselves. He did not do it earlier because he was unfamiliar with the coding process and other things inside the system.
The boy prepared everything. No one will notice three citizens popping up in millions of population and thousands of daily tourists. They ‘borrowed’ the manager’s car this time and had Carole drive it. The car was an average one. The miser manager has not driven it much.
Carole drove the car to the casino island and roamed around at a calm place. After finding a secluded place, the two boys came out. Yang Dao had located the first rat to be hiding in a high-end hotel.
The security was visible from the outside only. Tony asked, “How to do it?”
The boy replied, “Time to improvise. You change with Carole. We go play the killer couple.” his tone was calm and steady.
Tony smiled and said, “I like this idea.” and he went back to the car. A few minutes after, Carole walked over. She asked, “What do we do?”
Yang Dao said, “We play a couple, go inside the hotel. book a room. You will extract the information from a steward. Tony will create a distraction. I kill the rat, we flee.” as he said that, he took a deep breath.
Then he said, “Pardon my rudeness.” and he placed a hand behind Carole’s waist. The girl was shocked but stabilized her emotions and with a smile snuggled closer to Yang Dao. The two people walked inside the hotel. As he observed the security earlier, the guests were being frisked at the entrance. He also noticed that there was no female guard.
He gave the gun to Carole and whispered something to her. The girl nodded, and the two walked out of the alley and came to the front gate. A guard came up and said, “Excuse me, Sir. Please cooperate with the security check. We apologize for the inconvenience”
Yang Dao nodded with a smile and said, “I don’t mind, but if you are going to check my girlfriend as well, then please arrange either a woman or a secluded area.”
His demand was placed politely and as a big name in the hospitality business, the hotel did not hesitate. They arranged for female staff to do the security check.
