Chapter 726 - 732: Raise the Flagpole
In the evening, Yang Yi and his team moved to a new foothold, similar in layout to the previous one, located in a residential area near the outskirts of Kyiv, surrounded by bungalows that could accommodate dozens of people, yet distributed across several houses. This setup ensured that everyone was close enough to support each other while preventing a situation where blocking one door could trap everyone inside.
This scattered arrangement had another advantage: Jethro could stay in the same house with his most trusted people.
Francois and McGregor both sent men to set up outposts on the perimeter, and Jethro let them arrange it themselves.
Jethro’s approach continued to be easily trustworthy, as it seemed he was entrusting his security to the Fearless Mercenary Corps. If he had any ill intentions towards the Fearless Mercenary Corps, he surely wouldn’t have allowed them to be responsible for the entire perimeter security.
By nightfall, Yang Yi and his group had gathered together again.
Except for Schultz, all the dispatched members had returned. After losing track of the Black Devil, they needed to discuss their strategy again, and this time, Jethro was with them.
Yang Yi had concocted a half-true, half-false lie to temporarily earn Jethro’s trust, but to fully convince Jethro, Yang Yi would have to take further proactive actions.
The atmosphere remained heavy because they knew the Black Devil was among the world’s most formidable operatives, well, even if he was formerly one of the most formidable, there was no doubt about their counter-tracking and counter-surveillance capabilities. Now that they had lost track of them, finding them again would certainly be very difficult.
"They vanished on a tree-lined boulevard, abandoning their car. Since they dared to leave the car behind, that means they aren’t afraid of leaving any traces on it. Although we know their appearances, that’s not of much significance. Let me add a few key points. First, these people are extremely adept at concealing their tracks, constantly mindful of avoiding cameras. Black Lightning hacked into the Ukrainian hotel’s computer system and found the surveillance at that time."
