Floyd said confidently. “Rest assured. There‘s a three–million–strong army garrisoned here. If the Black
Dragon comes, I assure you he won‘t be leaving here alive.”
“Failure is not allowed. If you fail, there‘s no need for you to return.”
The other side hung up the phone.
Floyd stood up. He tossed the cigarette bud in his hand on the ground and stomped on it. Then, he
headed back toward the conference room.
The generals of the twenty–eight nations gathered in the room. Floyd walked over to them, and they
immediately stood up.
Floyd gestured for them to relax.
Only then did the generals take their seats. Floyd scanned the crowd. “There‘s news from the boss.
The hijacking incident has been exposed. The Black Dragon now knows everything.”
"What!?”
They turned pale. Pablo eyed him coldly. “You promised us that the plan would be flawless. If word
spreads, I‘ll no longer have a place in Ishkabar.” Floyd dismissed his concerns. “Calm down. The only
one who knows about it at the moment is the Black Dragon. The boss said that the Black Dragon plans
to sneak into the city and find an opportunity to assassinate you all. Once he accomplishes that, the
twenty–eight nations will automatically retreat. We need to come up with a plan to lure the Black
Dragon into the city and kill him.”
“Hmph! If he comes, I‘ll make sure he leaves a corpse.”
“He was just lucky at Mt. Thunder Pass back then.” “It‘s about time for his luck to run out.”
“There‘s no way his fists can stand against the combined might of the twenty–eight nations.”
The generals excitedly discussed among themselves. Many among them were there during the Mt.
Thunder Pass incident. There was bad blood between them and James.
Floyd discussed with the generals how best to lure James into Southern Plains City.
Meanwhile, James was approaching the city with his assassins. But before they could enter the city,
they spotted a patrol from afar. James assessed the situation. Looking at the others, he asked, “You‘re
an expert in this. Now that Southern Plains City is under lockdown, there are patrols everywhere. What
should we do to avoid them?”
The assassins wore perplexed faces. Although they had experience infiltrating other nations, they now
faced a city guarded by a three–million–strong army. It would be difficult not to alert the enemy forces.
May eventually spoke up. “James, I think your plan is flawless. We should disguise ourselves as the
enemy forces to infiltrate the city.” James thought about it and said, “In that case, we‘ll split up. After
sneaking into the city, head toward the military region as quickly as you can.” They planned to split up
once they approached the city. Then, they would try to blend in with the patrol. As it stood, there were
too many of them in one place. If they were found out, they would be swiftly rounded up and captured.
If they split up, even if some of them were discovered, the rest would still be able to continue the
mission.
James spoke to all of them in a clear tone. “Be on your guard. Remember, staying alive is your priority.
Got it?” “Understood.”
Their voices rang out in unison. “Let‘s get moving.” James drove his car to a secluded spot and
concealed it.
Everyone got off the car and split up. Traversing through the foliage, they slowly approached Southern
Plains City. They were looking for an opportunity to infiltrate the enemy patrol. Once they were
disguised as part of the patrol, they would be able to enter the city. James was confident that this plan
would succeed.
