Goodbye, My Love
Chapter 812

As Marco stepped off the plane and joined the soldiers on the ground, they dove into the mountain forest as one. Hubert couldn't help but grin when he noticed Marco decked out in special equipment. "Nice look," he quipped.

Marco surveyed their surroundings, his face an emotionless mask. "Are we waiting for nightfall?"

Hubert nodded solemnly.

"After dark, they will drop their guards. But moving at night brings its own set of obstacles. Before you and Loraine joined, we had a fifty-fifty chance at success. Luckily, your artificial intelligence and Loraine's topographic map have boosted our chances."

Just then, Loraine's soothing voice chimed in through their earpieces.

"Stay on your toes and be careful."

Each team member acknowledged her counsel.

Success seemed more attainable with Qbot's remote monitoring and Loraine's masterful planning from her airborne vantage point.

As darkness descended, the squad slipped into the camp undetected.

Snores echoed through the night, betraying the lax night watchmen.

Periodically, Loraine's steady instructions filtered through their earpieces.

ANGELA's LIBRARY

"Two targets northwest."

"There's one more southeast."

The soldiers crept up to their marks and silently neutralized them.

Progress was swift and seamless, leaving the team exhilarated by the unprecedented ease of their mission.

Marco's performance astonished everyone. He was agile, stealthy, and swift, he consistently reached Loraine's designated locations first.

Their teamwork was unspoken and efficient.

Genuinely awed, Hubert signaled his approval to Marco.

"Outstanding! You're nearly on par with the Cheetah Command. Have you had any training?"

"Yes."

Marco was reticent, and Hubert was left speechless.
