Chapter 195: Home Soon
Zach and his team were later than usual because of some dealings that they had to finalize in the underworld.
There was just one last thing to do and that would be the buy-and-bust operation, which was to be carried out by the joint forces of the Special Ops of the Military and the Anti-Narcotics Police squad.
This operation was the finale of their mission, in which they would capture Old Man’s Skull’s group, together with Mr. Big, while they were entrapped in the middle of a huge drug deal. This drug bust would provide the law enforcers with a very clear evidence which would unquestionably get the criminals a life sentence or even a death penalty...
Ryu would be left out of this operation because of his civilian status. It would be enacted directly by Zach’s team under his command. It was not an easy operation as they were aware of the interweaving web of corruption at the top of the government which was directly connected with the people from the underworld.
Zach looked at Ryu who was fidgeting anxiously as he was in a hurry to attend Arya’s grand banquet that would be held that night.
He laughed seeing Ryu’s edgy state as the latter kept looking at his wrist watch.
"Don’t worry, you will reach there soon... at least before the event ends..." he remarked in jest that made the group laugh.
"Hmm, so our Hawk here could also be afraid, eh...? I mean, he had never shown fear all those times we had to face off against those notorious gangsters in the underworld for our mission. But now look at him, so nervous at the thought of his shining star wife getting disappointed if he missed her grand event..." said Snake, teasing him more.
Ryu massaged his nape and smiled with embarrassment because Snake had definitely hit the right spot. It was true that he was not afraid of anyone but Arya.
