Chapter 429 429: Target Secure.
Leo had dashed ahead with the top speed that he could muster and jumped over the electric fence that surrounded the mansion. He was fast, not caring about the people following him. At this moment, he heard a message in his ear, "Boss, you are moving in a bit too quick."
Leo replied, "I know, I just want to descend the cliff before the rain starts."
Pixie reported that she was in position and Demo reported that they were circling the vehicle around to meet them at the front gates. The young man nodded as he tied a rope around a boulder and began to quickly rappel down the cliff. Pirm and Milo caught up with him as well. They stood outside the walls of the mansion, this was akin to the second layer of protection that the target had set for himself. As soon as they crossed this wall, it would be a gunfight.
The walls were ten feet high, and one feet thick. They could not be crashed by a tank running into them because of the titanium webbing. So the only way they had was to climb it and cross it, but on top of the wall were automated guns that could detect movement and kill the target in seconds. Even birds avoided this place, let alone humans. However, they had a smart player on their team. Leo said, "We have reached the second line, Maya, you on."
Maya replied, "Roger that, Boss."
Her fingers began to move and then she hacked into the defense system before she said, "Boss, you have thirty seconds. These guns cannot target the people on the ground, I don't know why the technicians left behind such a loophole but we can leverage that."
Leo nodded quickly and he said, "Guys, push and pull?"
The two men nodded and Leo bend his knees and spread his palms before him to give the people a push so that they could reach and grab the ledge. Prim was first, and Leo used a good amount of his strength and launched the guy up in the void, Prim was shocked but he grasped his bearings and managed to flung half is body above the wall, and began to cut off the barbed wires on their. Milo followed shortly after, then the two of them turned around and extended their hands towards Leo who took a few steps back, and then rushed over, covering the ten meter gap between the walls and the cliff face.
Then Leo stepped onto the wall itself, and jumped high to catch the arms of the two people who pulled him up. As soon as he reached their, he said, "Let's go, we don't have much time."
The people nodded, turned on their night vision and Leo said, "Maya, kill the power in the garden."
Maya nodded, and Leo and the two jumped off the walls, Leo located a guard in the surrounding and while still in air, he aimed at the person and shot the bullet. The people only heard a pfft followed by a dull thud as the man fell to the ground.
At this moment the clouds thundered and it began to rain. The movements of the guards was visible to Leo and his team but they could hide in the rain even better. What followed was a display of shooting and a pile of corpses. None of the guards in the garden were spared, and it took Leo and his team only two minutes. Leo had even taken out people from long range, despite wearing night vision the distance and rain were an affecting factor which he looked past with ease.
Most of the kills belonged to Leo, and even Pixie had taken out some of the people who were hiding in the darkest parts of the garden. She was using a thermal scope to detect the people. Maya said, "Boss, hurry to move in, they are about to run a check."
Leo replied, "Roger that."
He regrouped with Prim and Milo, as they entered the mansion from a side door that was used by the guards. As soon as they went inside, Leo turned to his right and fired a shot. The guard there didn't even have the time to register what happened when he fell to the ground with a hole in his head. On the other side, Prim was not slow either, he also took out the guard on the duty as Leo they all moved ahead, Leo reloaded his weapon and for the sake of better mobility, he put away the assault rifle and took out the handgun. His speed was quick, and corners were cleared quickly. As soon as he found anyone moving, he would shot. This basement floor was a maze lingering with armed guards.
After two minutes, the basement was clear and they had taken over the security room where the head of security was about to run a status report. The man was shocked to see Leo and was about to reach to the alarm button when a throwing knife flashed through the air and lodged into his neck. Leo didn't even waste a bullet, he grabbed the man from the back of his neck and tossed him out where Prim put a bullet in the head of the man to relieve him of his misery.
Milo spoke in the comms, "Security room secured."
Maya replied, "Boss, you have to handle a dozen more people before heading to the study. The target is surrounded by his guards."
Leo nodded, checked the ammunition in his hand gun and said, "Alright moving out."
As he was walking through the dim lit corridors he said, "Maya, keep an eye out for any and all signals going out of this place, be it shortwave, or anything else, even if it is morse, I want to know about it. If this maniac set off a mini nuke, we need to know."
The girl replied, "Aye."
Leo moved through the corridors quickly with his gun ready to take down anyone who might stand in his way. From the details that they have received, the target was an old man who didn't have any heir apparent. It was all because of him suffering an injury when he was young and since then he had been sterile. The only reason he could maintain this high standard of living was because he was cruel enough to destroy anyone who tried to take advantage of him.
Leo didn't find any guards coming at him. This was a curious situation, the only logical approach that made sense at this moment was the fact that either they were all waiting for him at the top floor where the study was located, or they were not guarding the life of the old man but rather keeping him from dying.
Leo shook his head as he slowed down his approach towards the study. Milo and Prim had caught up with him. The young man gave them the signal to stop, and they both froze before exchanging a glance. Leo said softly in the comms, "Pixie, do you have visual on the situation inside the study?"
Pixie replied, "Yes, Boss. It is kind of odd."
Leo replied, "Explain."
Pixie replied, "There are twelve men who are standing around the target, they have their guns aimed at the door but one of them is aiming the gun at the target."
Leo clicked his tongue and asked, "Can you get that man aiming at the target with your shot?"
Pixie was quite for a few seconds and then she said, "I can if I use the 50 cal bullet."
Leo replied, "Go ahead, this place is miles away from any other place, you can use the fifty caliber but only shoot when we break the door open."
Pixie agreed but Maya said, "Boss, that door is a vault door, it would not break so easily."
Leo said, "Is it digital?"
Maya replied in a positive, and Leo crouched down as he closed in on the door. He found a palm scanner, and a number pad on the side. He took out the throwing knife and poked it through one of the grooves on the number pad. With his strength and the titanium knife, it was easy to get through the titanium screws that were holding the grooves together. With a hard yank Leo pulled off the number pad, and said, "Pirm, do you have any explosives on you?"
Pirm was surprised and then he said, "Two bulk busters."
Leo nodded and extended his hands. Pirm handed over two small palm sized cubes and Leo undid the silver wrapper around the cubes before kneading the soft white material together. Then he made small balls of the material, but these balls were still as big as a human eye. He stuck these balls around the lock and then put into the balls, before connecting the central one where he had removed the number pad from.
Then he said, "Milo, all the flashbangs you have, prepare them."
The man nodded and they both held flash bangs in their hands tightly gripping the clips. They were ready to toss them inside and stun the enemy as soon as the door was opened.
Leo said, "Pixie, the moment we through the bangs in, shoot the guy holding the gun against the target."
Pixie nodded and took position. Pirm detonated the bulk busters and with a loud bang, the locks of the double door came off, Leo moved in front of the door, kicked on the damaged part so hard it opened a hole the size of the watermelon. Leo tossed in the flashbangs, and Milo followed his lead, at this moment, a loud shattering noise echoed in the surroundings, as Pixies bullet tore through the bullet proof glass and bore through the head of the gunman.
Prim knelt on the ground and using the watermelon sized hole, he shot the rest of the guards with great accuracy. Leo asked when Pirm was done, "The Target?"
Pirm said, "Alive but stunned, and tied to a chair."
Leo nodded as he said, "Good job."
