Ghost Squad

Jason looked at Edward calmly.

Having performed several times, he already knows what to do when others think he knows, but he really doesn't.

remain silent.

It's best to look straight into the other person's eyes.

If you feel that you can't be calm, you can also move your gaze up and stare at the other person's hairline.

This will give the other party a sense of urgency. If the other party's hairline moves back, this sense of urgency will be doubled, allowing the other party to say what they want to say faster.

Of course, you can also imagine that the other party is already bald.

This will not double down on the other person's sense of urgency.

But it makes you feel at ease.

A male lion with a mane is mighty and majestic, but what if it is bald

It is estimated that no lioness is willing to bother with them.

Fortunately, Edward's hair was fairly thick, even with the ponytail tied up, it didn't look thin.

The leader of the special operations team met Jason's gaze and nodded slightly.

"You do know."

"However, it should be."

"After all, you've all been through that."

Edward said slowly, his tone becoming inexplicably sad.

After a full two or three seconds of silence, the leader of the special operations team continued:

"'Ghost Squad' is formed by the elite drawn from various corps and divisions."

"Everyone has outstanding abilities and is equipped with the most cutting-edge weapons."

"They cooperated closely and performed various difficult tasks."

"but… "

"During the 'Battle of Decheng', they rebelled. They killed Decheng's commander at the time 'General Will', and then assassinated several high-level military officials one after another—to the outside world, these generals were declared war die."

"After that, 'Ghost Squad' really became ghosts."

"They come and go, including the re-established Decheng, and the current Xinde City, have become their hunting grounds."

"but me?"

Edward smiled self-deprecatingly.

"It's the leader of the 'Xinde City' hunting down the 'Ghost Squad', from the Ninth Infantry Division."

"I was chosen to be the person in charge here, not because I was the strongest in the Ninth Infantry Division."

"Just because there is news that the head of the 'Ghost Squad' here is Micah."

"He was the commander of the squad I used to be in."

"I know him best."

As he spoke, Edward leaned back slightly.

His upper body was completely supported by the back of the chair, and his eyes seemed a little dazed.

Apparently, the leader of the Special Operations Unit began to recall the past.

Not far from the counter, the female pastry chef gestured to Jason with a mint lemonade.

After Jason nodded, the female pastry chef brought them all over.

"Thanks."

When the female pastry chef was pouring water, Edward finally came back to his senses.

The team leader thanked the female pastry chef.

The female pastry chef returned to the oven very self-aware.

She needs to think about doing something different for lunch.

As for what Edward told

She is not interested.

Even though Edward lowered his voice and looked very mysterious, for her, it was better to think about the ratio of milk, eggs, and sugar.

What Ghost Squad.

What Micah.

Where sweet pastries matter.

"Micah used to be someone I admired."

"His ability is excellent, his character is noble, and his character is tough."

"But when he's the enemy, it's also the toughest one."

"Because you don't know where he will attack you."

"So, I initially hoped to use you as 'bait' to lure him out."

"Feel sorry."

Edward apologized again.

Moreover, this time it was much more solemn.

He sat up straight first, then bowed his head and bowed his body.

Then, he was grabbed by Jason and rolled to one side—

boom!

The moment the bodies of the two hit the wall of the shop, a bullet pierced through the glass of the shop, accurately passed through the position Edward had made before, and finally penetrated the table and the floor and entered the basement.

"Sniper!"

"Pay attention to concealment!"

Outside the store, little Bansy shouted, and the people around quickly looked for cover, while little Bansy leaned against the post box and aimed his gun at the shooting direction.

However, he couldn't find the other party at all.

There was no one in his field of vision.

Even if he locked the sniper point in the first place, it was useless.

Inside the shop, Edward turned over and stood up.

"Thanks."

"You saved my life again."

"I owe you."

After he finished speaking to Jason, he ran out.

According to his understanding of the former commander, the opponent missed a single hit and had left long ago, but just in case, he still wanted to check to see if he could find any clues.

"Captain Edward."

The female pastry chef spoke suddenly.

"rest assured."

"I will definitely be careful."

Feeling the long-lost concern, Edward turned his head, raised his hand and pushed his glasses habitually, and said with a smile.

"no."

"It's compensation."

The pastry chef pointed to the broken window, the damaged table, the floor.

Immediately, Edward's hand pushing his glasses froze in mid-air.

"Write the list."

"We will compensate you according to the price."

With the same stiff smile, Edward finished speaking and walked out of the shop.

Jason stood up, patted the dust off his body, gestured to the female pastry chef, and followed Edward out.

For the so-called 'Ghost Squad', Jason is not interested.

However, Jason thought he would be interested in the [city recognition] that the 'Ghost Squad' could bring.

After glancing at the 6% [City Approval Degree], Jason quickened his pace.

Although this is only the second day, according to 60 days, reaching 100% is more than enough.

But Jason doesn't think he can get 6% [city recognition] every day.

Therefore, he will not give up the opportunity to obtain [city recognition].

Following Edward, Jason walked across Pea Corner Street, a place close to the next block.

"This is the sniper point!"

Bancy said with certainty.

Edward didn't ask, just waved his hand.

Edward will not question Bansy's ability.

The same goes for everyone else.

After seeing Edward's gesture, these people immediately dispersed, while blocking the place, they formed an assault team, and prepared to launch a search towards the fifth floor that should be the apartment in front of them.

Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

Edward also took out his gun, ready to join the commando.

It was Edward's habit to lead by example.

It is precisely because of this that Edward is admired more and more by Banci and others.

However, this does not mean that Edward is a fool without a brain.

He didn't forget Jason.

Jason, who could stand against hundreds of people by one person, left an indelible impression on him.

Edward turned to look at Jason.

Only then did Edward realize that Jason was not looking at the apartment building in front of him, but at... the lower building next door.

"What's wrong?"
