Night had just fallen, and within the camp, General Hawan, refreshed after a half day of rest, put the matter of the Peng Bird aside.
The dread and fear he felt towards the Peng Bird’s group had quietly relaxed as well; this was his territory, so there was no need to be overly cautious. Besides, with his arrogance and lifestyle, he couldn’t feel comfortable without a bit of nightlife.
"Leader Black Shark, are you interested in joining for a few gas at the casino?" General Hawan extended an invitation.
"I think it might be best not to, General Hawan should also be a bit cautious and perhaps avoid going out." Black Shark advised, "I suspect the enemy is lurking in the shadows, watching us closely. If we go out, wouldn’t we be walking right into their sights?"
"Leader Black Shark, my friend, I think you’ve lost your nerve, tarnishing the reputation of the Poison Dragon rcenary Corps," General Hawan remarked, with a tone rich in sarcasm. Naturally, Black Shark felt a bit displeased but dared not show anger, for this was General Hawan’s domain, and Black Shark had no grounds to be arrogant here.
General Hawan didn’t continue the mockery, and with a generous laugh, he said, "I am the king of this area. Everyone, from whatever background, shows respect; not to ntion, my guards are formidable, and even my cars are bulletproof. You are overly cautious. I worry more about the enemies not showing up. If they really do, I’ll shell them to death. If they intend to cross , they better be prepared for the consequence of their actions."
He truly felt emboldened, with such a large camp backing him, it gave him room to be unscrupulous.
"Esteed General Hawan, I do not enjoy gambling, so I will not accompany you and spoil your fun." Black Shark smiled, "I prefer to stay in your camp to regain my strength. If the Peng Bird doesn’t see leave the camp, they won’t take action, and naturally won’t attack you. I believe, with their wisdom, the Peng Bird wouldn’t dare to attack you."
"In that case, I won’t insist. Take good care of yourself, feel free to treat my camp as your ho," General Hawan called out before leaving surrounded by his guards.
General Hawan also understood Black Shark’s concerns, though he thought Black Shark was too timid; he acknowledged the sense in Black Shark’s words.
The Peng Bird was indeed lurking in the shadows, watching the camp; this much could be inferred.
If Black Shark went with him, an attack was to be expected. After all, Black Shark was the Peng Bird’s primary target, not General Hawan.
Though General Hawan had gotten involved in this, standing against the Peng Bird, he firmly believed that the Peng Bird wouldn’t dare to provoke him. If Black Shark were around, the Peng Bird might risk an action; without Black Shark, they could only shrink back and would never dare to take action against him, which would be absurd.
From a distant high point, Zhang Kui, Qian Weiguo, and Gao Qiang closely monitored every movent in the camp.
"General Hawan has left the camp, Black Shark didn’t follow," this news reached Ye Fan’s ears.
"Stay hidden and don’t get exposed," Ye Fan instructed, and nodded knowingly.
Ye Fan, Zhang Lu, and the three won gathered together. During the day, they had acquired the necessary vehicles and gathered intelligence.
"As we anticipated, Black Shark is hiding in the camp, too afraid to go out, while General Hawan has gone out as usual. Proceed with the original plan," Ye Fan commanded, and they imdiately sprang into action.
...
At the underground casino, after figuring out General Hawan’s whereabouts, Ye Fan inferred that General Hawan was heading to his frequently visited casino, as it was in a different direction than his lover’s dwelling, thereby leading to such a conclusion.
Since General Hawan wasn’t visiting his lover, he must be heading to the casino for so fun.
Ye Fan and Zhang Lu entered the casino ahead of ti, without carrying any weapons. Once inside, personal safety fell under the casino’s responsibility. Casinos had their security and authority; causing trouble here was rare.
Bringing weapons would prevent entry into the casino, and even surrendering them would attract special attention.
To avoid drawing much attention, they had to keep a low profile.
Outside the casino, Yang Shu and Shen Tingting were on standby to provide support.
Ye Fan and Zhang Lu entered the casino as unremarkable figures, unlikely to attract the attention of any observant individuals.
"Thankfully, we disguised ourselves; otherwise, your identity would quickly beco known. Once the Terminator’s identity leaks, things would no longer be calm or composed," Zhang Lu, holding Ye Fan’s arm, judged while observing the surroundings. Judging by the casino’s scale and setup, it wasn’t sothing an ordinary person could run; there had to be a bigwig backing it with an unsavory background.
Ye Fan had added so facial hair to change his original appearance.
Zhang Lu underwent significant changes, altering her hair and makeup purposely.
This disguise was not only ant to prevent others from recognizing their identities but also to hide their original identities.
Not even a hint of their true identity could be leaked. This mission was top secret, ant to eliminate a long-standing threat. Their identity as the Peng Bird was their guise, and any carelessness was unacceptable.
"The people behind this casino aren’t simple. To operate such a big establishnt, their status must be significant," Ye Fan spoke in a low voice. "When observing this place during the day, I only got a sense of the situation outside the casino, knowing little about its internal operations. Carefully watch those guards around, ensuring not to perform suspicious actions under the surveillance caras to avoid trouble. Keeping a low profile and staying unnoticed by others is crucial."
Ye Fan and Zhang Lu, holding chips, walked around, stopped and watched, and played for a while.
They didn’t aim to win money, rely seeking enjoynt without stress over losing or winning.
The two remained inconspicuous, raising no suspicions.
Within sight, the casino’s owner, a woman nicknad Flower Snake, escorted a VIP guest through the VIP passage into the casino, flanked by several bodyguards.
This distinguished guest was, of course, General Hawan.
General Hawan loved gambling, often a patron at the casino, and naturally familiar with Flower Snake.
Flower Snake had to cater to General Hawan, not daring to slack off.
This casino wasn’t simple, with substantial backing.
Unknown to General Hawan, the true owner of this casino was none other than the Peng Bird, whom he had just fought and feared greatly.
Nor would Ye Fan and Zhang Lu anticipate that the boss behind the scenes was actually the stronghold of the identity they were impersonating, the Peng Bird.
