Chapter 301: Chapter 300 The First Battle

In the beginning, Yang Yi thought Mike had chickened out because a pure intelligence officer would do everything to avoid a head-on clash.

But now Yang Yi knew he was wrong. Mike didn’t cower after hearing the name of Fearless; he just had bigger targets in mind.

There are indeed too many benefits to fame, but notoriety comes at a price.

Yang Yi considered the cost that must be paid: if they failed to annihilate Fearless’s people in one fell swoop, they should brace for retaliation.

Mike said with a cold arrogance, "How about it, since you’ve decided to take on Fearless, are you willing to use them as a stepping stone, to enjoy the benefits and risks that come with fame?"

Great risks, great rewards.

Great rewards, great risks.

But what’s there to hesitate about? Yang Yi didn’t hesitate at all as he exclaimed, "Fuck! Let’s do it!"

Brian smiled, then he said coldly, "What risks? It’s nothing but Fearless’s retaliation, what kind of risk is that? I’m not even scared of the KGB, I’ve faced Black Devil too, who else should we fear?"

Mike nodded vigorously, "Good, since Fearless is to be a stepping stone, we can’t just attack them casually. We need to declare war, make the entire underworld know that the Organization of Water is going to war with Fearless Group before we make our move. No matter what relationship Bass has with Fearless, once we strike, there’s no thinking of leaving any room for easing things later!"

Yang Yi said with a stern face, "I know this, just tell me what to do."

Mike looked at his watch, "This matter cannot be delayed. We must prepare to attack the Fearless Club immediately, but before we go to war, I need to send a message to the Cicero Family that the Organization of Water is declaring war on Fearless. It’s risky but within a controllable range. As long as we act quickly, by the time Fearless’s people react, we’ll have already evacuated."

Yang Yi asked, "Why can’t we declare it was the Organization of Water after it’s done?"

Mike nodded and replied, "We could, but announcing it in advance has a greater shock effect. Saying and doing it is one thing, but saying it after the act is another."

Mike sighed, "Of course, I will keep an eye on the timing. We’ll release the news just before we attack. We’re not strong enough right now to release the news days in advance; doing so would be suicide."

Brian said in a deep voice, "That’s it, let’s just do it now, there’s nothing else to discuss."

After speaking, Brian gave everyone a spirited glance and then said indifferently, "I’ve arrived, and so has Pandora Squad, so we’ll take the lead in the attack."

Yang Yi took a moment to remember that the team Brian used to lead was called Pandora Box, a name given by the KGB, and one he took pride in.

Whoever you are, I am Pandora.

Brian was getting old, but Yang Yi saw in him what it meant to have an air of defiance.

Mike was stunned, then murmured softly, "Pandora, ah, Pandora..."

Mike sighed softly and then stood up and whispered to Brian, "Then let me see if that Pandora is still around."

Paul and Charles stood up, and they were both extremely serious and proud, saying in unison, "As long as the captain is here, Pandora is here!"

Mike was very, very moved. He watched Brian and the two standing side by side for a while, and finally said, "We lack equipment, we have no night-vision gear, no heavy bulletproof vests, no helmets, no breaching weapons, no intelligence support, just a tightly shut door waiting for you to kick open."

Brian said with an arrogant face, "Of course, I know this. Pandora has the best equipment, but Pandora never relies on equipment."

Mike looked at Yang Yi and said in a deep voice, "We are short of everything. Right now, we only have rifles and grenades, and also just four Level III bulletproof vests."

Yang Yi glanced at the others and said in a heavy tone, "It’s precisely because we have nothing that we want to make a name for ourselves. Shouldn’t we fight even harder?"

Zhang Yong suddenly sighed, then said helplessly, "Actually, I don’t want to fight this kind of assault battle. Even a helmet would be good, but..."

Zhang Yong scratched his head, forcing a smile, "But I have a problem, and that’s being bold and not afraid of death. Bulletproof vests and the like are great if you have them, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t. Let’s not talk about this anymore and hurry up and move. We’ve already wasted more than half an hour."

Brian waved his hand and said, "Switch to assault gear!"

Turning, Brian entered the room where the weapons and ammunition were stored, and then the three from Pandora Squad began to change clothes. They took off their casual clothes and changed into tactical gear that was more suited for combat.

Mike called out loudly, "The three of you put on bulletproof vests, and give the other one to... you."

Mike pointed at Yang Yi. Yang Yi shook his head and said, "Xiao Ran, you wear it."

Xiao Ran responded irritably, "My problem is that I can only be a shooter in the background, what do I need it for?"

Kate was silent, just like the others, as she loaded magazines onto her body.

Yang Yi wanted to say that Kate shouldn’t get involved, but then he felt that it was meaningless to say so.

"Kate, put on the bulletproof vest."

Kate had just started to shake her head when Yang Yi said sternly, "Don’t talk nonsense. Be professional."

Kate hesitated, but still took the last bulletproof vest and put it on.

At that moment, Schultz, who had always been an unnoticed presence, suddenly said, "Can I make a suggestion?"

Mike replied indifferently, "No. Can you drive?"

Schultz shook his head and said softly, "No."

Mike looked at Boer, who had been standing aside watching, and then said in a deep voice, "You, drive us there and be ready to pick us up."

Boer, who had been about to sneak back to his room, stopped in his tracks at Mike’s words, a look of distress on his face as he was about to decline, but Mike said firmly, "Having heard too much that you shouldn’t have, do you want to join or do you want to be silenced?"

Boer sighed deeply and said with a pained expression, "Knowing too much is not good, really not good. But I really didn’t want to hear what you guys were saying..."

Mike, with a stern face, walked to the cabinet where the guns were, picked up an M1911 that Xiao Ran had brought, pulled back the slide with a clack, looked into the chamber, and then pushed the slide back. He began to load magazines onto his body.

Yang Yi was taken aback and said, "You’re going too? No, you shouldn’t go."

Mike replied coldly, "I am from intelligence, but do you think people in intelligence only collect information?"

After slipping the gun into his waistband, Mike turned to Schultz and said, "You’re going too. Even if you can’t drive, at least you can help drag the wounded back to the car."

After saying that, Mike shrugged his shoulders and then said with a grave look, "This is Organization of Water’s first battle, a decisive one. Everyone must exert their own strength. Don’t think that you can stay out of it just because you’re not a combatant. Let me tell you, if the operation fails, none of us will survive!"
