Chapter 648: Chapter 622: Garden Wind

The most moving words are neither grand speeches nor sweet talk, but truths grounded in reality.

Yuri pointed out a reality to Buck, which was that he had already boarded the thief’s ship and couldn’t get off even if he wanted to.

Pulling the ladder after ascending is a routine tactic of the KGB, and Yuri was especially adept at using this move.

Watching Buck walk into the Compaq Building with slightly difficult steps, Yuri glanced at his watch and said softly, "Alright, we’ll go in ten minutes."

Gao Yi also checked his watch. He initially wanted to time it with a stopwatch, but the old-fashioned stopwatch was too cumbersome to use, so he simply gave up on the idea.

"Are we really going to break in?"

Yuri responded without hesitation, "If Little Andic is indeed inside, it shows that the Red and Blue Group indeed wants to be enemies with the Garden. Therefore, Buck certainly won’t come out, and we have no choice but to break in."

Everyone here is quite experienced, but with Yuri present, he generally plays the role of the think tank, as Yuri has proven with his actions in Ben what it means to be truly ruthless.

"Alright, then we wait ten minutes."

"No, we wait twenty minutes."

Gao Yi looked at Yuri in astonishment and said, "Didn’t you say ten minutes?"

Yuri, still watching the Compaq Building, continued calmly and confidently, "The ten minutes was for Buck. If we need to break in, Buck will be interrogated. Then, if Buck says nothing, waiting twenty minutes before entering won’t have any effect. If Buck confesses immediately, those inside will know there are only five of us and we’ll plan to break in after ten minutes. When they’re guarding against us at that ten-minute mark and we don’t show up, it disrupts their rhythm."

Gao Yi was not foolish; he just wasn’t used to using people like Yuri, nor did he like deceiving his own people.

Yuri was right, waiting twenty minutes was indeed more advantageous.

Gao Yi said solemnly, "There’s just one problem; will more reinforcements come here?"

"The Compaq Building is the headquarters of the Red and Blue Group, not the FBI headquarters. As you surely know, a headquarters isn’t a place always ready for combat; it’s where the Red and Blue Group conducts its business. They have public identities to cover up with, so the vast majority inside are ordinary clerks who don’t even know what they’re truly doing. So clearing out such a place isn’t too difficult."

Dani scratched his head and said, "We don’t know the layout inside or the internal structure. We’re spies, but our current approach is like a reckless drunk. Even the poorest unit wouldn’t launch a frontal assault under such circumstances, and I don’t even want to mention that this is New York."

Yuri smiled and said, "So all the British can do is mess around secretly because when you really need to let loose and take action, you don’t dare."

"You... never mind."

Dani didn’t want to say more to Yuri, because he knew it was useless.

The Russians are like this; at times they seem reckless, yet their recklessness often causes great distress to their opponents.

A few spies from an assassin organization breaking into a headquarters of an underground organization in the most prosperous area of New York is definitely not the style of assassins, nor the style of mercenaries, but it is indeed a very Garden-style approach.

Gao Yi was doing something no rational person would dare, and he was quite pleased with it.

"It’s been eight minutes; I don’t think Buck will come out."

Gao Yi was seriously preparing to break into the Compaq Building.

Gao Yi had a hammer, a gun, and there were bullet-proof vests and helmets in the car, but he decided not to wear the bullet-proof vest as it would be too conspicuous to approach the Compaq Building wearing it.

Yuri said flatly, "He definitely won’t come out. No one works precisely on the clock, so I can conclude Little Andic is indeed here and the Red and Blue Group is indeed set against us. In that case, let’s not hold back when we go in."

Sith frowned and said, "What do you mean by not holding back? Are we really going to kill everyone in the building?"

"That is the literal meaning. Of course, it’s to try to do so, not to necessarily kill them all."

Gao Yi wasn’t particularly nervous because he had encountered too many dangerous situations; his threshold was too high to easily feel fear now.

He was actually just numb; those who understand, understand.

Gao Yi just stroked his hammer, which wasn’t his main warhammer, but any hammer would do; he wasn’t picky.

Ten minutes had passed, and Buck really hadn’t come out.

Yuri’s spirits lifted, and he couldn’t help but smile, "Good news, Little Andic is here, and the Red and Blue Group is indeed opposing us. The situation is much clearer now. If the head of the Red and Blue Group really came out to negotiate, I wouldn’t know how to proceed with the next step."

Dani whispered, "I don’t think this is good news. Although the Red and Blue Group is into making fake certificates, they’re also a very powerful company. Breaking into their headquarters just like this, I think you’re crazy—are we going in together or approaching from different positions to attack?"

Even while saying Yuri was crazy, Dani didn’t waste time preparing to charge.

Yuri thought for a moment and said, "Scatter, spread out, hide your weapons, and don’t wear bullet-proof vests. Control your positions and routes. Ten minutes is enough for us to spread out and approach. You two go first; Gardener and Berserker enter later, and I’ll go last."

After arranging the order of attack, Yuri raised his wrist and said, "Sync your watches, attack simultaneously in ten minutes."

This was when having a stopwatch showed its usefulness.

Except for Lucy, everyone had a watch.

Gao Yi was pleased his stopwatch finally came in handy.

"Counting down three seconds, 3, 2, 1, start the stopwatch."

Gao Yi pressed the stopwatch, and the second hand began to move, then they started walking out of their hiding alley.

Lucy walked alongside Gao Yi, reaching out to hold his hand, swinging it as if they were a couple on a shopping trip.

Yuri first walked in the opposite direction for a bit; he walked alone for some twenty or thirty meters, then stopped, mingled with the crowd to cross the zebra crossing, and after reaching the other side of the pedestrian walkway, he turned back towards the Compaq Building.

In fact, the distance between the four of them wasn’t too far; Yuri was only separated by a few dozen meters across the street.

The timing wasn’t so exact. They said twenty minutes, but between syncing watches and formulating a strategy, a few minutes were lost, so when they actually initiated the attack, it was about twenty-three or twenty-four minutes later.

The timing wasn’t that precise, and there wasn’t really a plan; Yuri had an idea, and Gao Yi just went with it, so everyone started acting.

It was a Garden-style move with a Russian flair, very unique.
