299: Chapter 298 Alpha's Target

"All things change, only Alpha endures!"

Upon hearing these words, the two white men's initially guarded expressions relaxed slightly. They pressed their clenched fists against their chests and solemnly replied, "All things change, only Alpha!"

Their English pronunciation was impeccable.

The man showed no surprise and nodded slightly. "The Envoy had already informed me of your arrival in advance, but I did not expect you to be so late."

"Apologies."

One of the white men said, "We accepted another mission at the same time, so we diverted to the Middle East, which wasted some time."

"Hmm." The man in the passenger seat remained expressionless and said indifferently, "I will report this accurately to the Envoy."

"Because you are four days late, some circumstances have changed, and accordingly, your mission must also be modified."

The white man who had spoken frowned. "Mission modification? That doesn't seem to follow protocol."

"It indeed does not follow protocol, but this is a special case."

The man's tone remained completely calm. "I will explain the specific situation to the Envoy."

The white man who had been speaking frowned but did not continue. Instead, his companion, who had remained silent the entire time, spoke up directly: "I refuse."

His gaze was calm as he looked at the unusually indifferent man in the passenger seat. "The mission we received was to rescue the target, help them join the organization more deeply, and simultaneously investigate the causes of death of Roland and Chari. During this period, you only need to provide the intelligence and Weapon we need; you have no authority to change anything else."

The man in the passenger seat remained expressionless and simply said, "You are correct, but that is only for general situations. If a special case arises, even though I am only an ordinary The Publisher, I have the authority to modify the content of a mission that has already been accepted."

"For example..."

The man in the passenger seat glanced at the two white men, a profound look appearing in his eyes. "A highest-priority mission has been awakened."

The two white men exchanged a glance and reacted in unison, exclaiming, "That's impossible!"

The white man who had spoken later furrowed his brows. "We have been working hard for forty years on Lord Alpha's request, yet we have no clues to this day. How can you be certain that there will be a discovery this time?"

"That is exactly the mission I am entrusting to you."

The man revealed the first smile he had shown since getting into the car.

"From now on, your mission will be modified. Investigate the authenticity of the clues at all costs. But before that, I still need you to rescue our partner; it is our honor to let him gain a deeper understanding of the organization."

"Gentlemen, everything we do is for Lord Alpha."

The two white men bowed their heads again and chanted silently, "Alpha endures!"

After finishing, one of the white men said, "Now you can tell us the detailed mission content, The Publisher."

The man threw a mobile phone over and pointed to the photo on it.

"The mission content is very simple: test the person in the photo, and preferably... kill him."

The white man caught the phone and glanced at the person in the photo. With just one look, he memorized it and nodded slightly. "No problem, we are very good at this kind of work."

"Give us his information. We need two days to prepare; perhaps New Year's will be a good time."

"Additionally, we need reliable Weapon, preferably hot Weapon."

The man nodded and said without hesitation, "That is no problem; everything has already been prepared for you."

"But I still need to remind you that this is China, not the United States, and not New York. Here, a kitchen knife might be more suitable for killing."

"We don't like to make a mess of the scene; firearms are the most reliable Weapon for killing."

The bearded white man grinned.

The man nodded indifferently. "Be careful not to make too much noise, and try not to hit the head. After confirming the death, you must bring the body back intact. If you really can't bring the body back, you must bring the head back intact."

As he spoke, he spread his hands. "Although I don't know why, this is a strict requirement for completing this mission. For the sake of the mission reward, I hope you will do your best."

"Understood."

The bearded white man nodded slightly and tossed the phone back to the man in the passenger seat.

The man in the passenger seat caught it and indifferently turned his head forward, no longer looking at the two, but his voice still came through.

"One more thing: if I were you, while wandering the streets, I wouldn't get into conflicts with people, and certainly wouldn't do anything improper. The police in Hanzhong City... are a bit strange these past two days."

Strange?

What kind of adjective is that?

The two white men didn't intend to ask further. Their mission content was already determined; now they needed to make a plan and proceed step by step.

The man didn't wait for a response, nor was he angry. He looked down at the delicate face on the screen, a touch of madness gradually appearing on his face.

"Wang Shuo... Wang Shuo... Is it really you?"

"Once you die... I will know."

...

Meanwhile, at a basically abandoned office building somewhere outside the Third Ring Road.

Wang Shuo looked up at the six-story office building in front of him, his mouth slightly agape, and turned his gaze to Instructor Duan Chengwu, who was also looking at the office building beside him.

"This... is the surprise you have for me?"

"Yes."

Instructor Duan Chengwu nodded. "I looked for a long time before selecting this building. It is located outside the Third Ring Road, the location is relatively remote, and the floor height is just right—not too high and not too low, so it won't waste too much space. I have checked it; it is also planned with an underground section, totaling two floors. With a slight modification, it can become a training ground and a shooting range, and there won't be any noise issues even during the day."

"Most importantly, it is an unfinished building. The previous owner has gone bankrupt and is urgently looking for someone to take over, so the price is appropriate."

Appropriate price? Wang Shuo loved hearing that.

"How much?"

He asked decisively.

Instructor Duan Chengwu was silent for a moment, then said, "Fifteen million."

"Buy it!"

Wang Shuo waved his hand grandly.

This wasn't because he was willfully wealthy, but because the price was truly too appropriate. Wang Shuo even suspected whether something had happened inside this building.

"Mr. Wang, I haven't finished yet."

Instructor Duan Chengwu sat in his wheelchair and said calmly, "The land transfer fee is ten million."

Twenty-five million?

"Buy it!"

Wang Shuo still didn't hesitate. He could afford this amount of money now.

"Since it is an unfinished building, we still need to spend at least five million to complete the construction and undergo inspection."

"Then, we have to invest at least ten million for renovation and decoration."

"Subsequently, we also need to purchase some equipment..."

Wang Shuo gritted his teeth and looked at Instructor Duan Chengwu, somewhat speechless.

"Just give me an accurate figure. How much?"

Instructor Duan Chengwu said indifferently, "At least fifty million."

"Fifty million?"

Wang Shuo looked at Instructor Duan Chengwu and shook his head slightly.

Instructor Duan Chengwu was slightly silent.

"How is fifty million enough?"

Instructor Duan Chengwu looked up in surprise, only to see Wang Shuo saying with a serious face, "I need you to establish a truly capable Security Company, not a facade. Fifty million? Buying a building and planning to do nothing else?"

"General Manager Duan, I will pay you a startup fund of 100 million in advance. You can withdraw this money as you please without reporting to me. But in one month, I want to see the Security Company under Frontier Technology registered, established, and beginning training and operations."

"Can you do it?"

Under Wang Shuo's somewhat intense gaze, Instructor Duan Chengwu felt as if he had returned to the battlefield again.

He nodded slowly and firmly uttered one word.

"Yes!"
