Ultimate Firepower

Yuri was in the lead.

Gao Yi was on the left, Lucy on the right, both half a step behind Yuri.

Two Glou operatives stood by the restaurant entrance. Though they weren’t guarding the door tightly, they unabashedly scanned Yuri up and down, their eyes occasionally sweeping over Gao Yi.

These were experts.

You could tell by their bearing and physique. At the very least, these were people who could hold their ground in a fight. And judging by their eyes, they were the type who had seen it all before.

There was scrutiny in their gazes, but no tension, no vigilance.

Knowing full well that this meeting was for negotiations—with maybe a 99% chance of a fight breaking out—they still managed to maintain an air of calm and ease. That alone indicated that even the doormen here weren’t ordinary.

But what truly concerned Gao Yi wasn’t the two guarding the entrance—it was the group waiting not far from the door, practically flaunting their presence.

The vehicles were armored, that much was clear. And Glou’s primary duty was counter-espionage, making them Russia’s most elite special forces. These operatives were on a whole different level compared to Gao Yi’s past adversaries.

Put it this way: Gao Yi’s previous opponents were at best bodyguards, but every single member of Glou was a professional bodyguard and a killing machine rolled into one.
