Chapter 56: Hector (4)
The squad leader of Hector’s forces moved slowly through the darkness.
His state-of-the-art ocular implants painted the pitch-black corridor in clear shades of infrared.
The air reeked of dust and stale oil, but he didn’t so much as flinch — he was used to worse.
The operation’s going smoothly.
Their target — Amber — had barely put up a fight against the ambush.
She was supposed to be a former Netwitch, but like most of her kind, she was vulnerable to direct, physical assault.
Records of her mercenary past — the ones she tried so hard to bury — had been dug up easily by Hexa Core Armory’s intel team.
She wasn’t the primary objective of tonight’s mission, but leaving her alive would've been a mistake.
Especially with the kidnapping of Iris underway — any loose ends had to ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) be tied off beforehand.
That was Hector’s way.
As the squad descended deeper underground, the air grew colder, heavier.
The leader flashed hand signals to his troops, telling them to stay sharp.
