"Black Cat, Old Man and the others have been wiped out."

Shadow appeared from somewhere again, walking behind Black Cat and saying softly.

At this moment, they were in a hotel room somewhere in the Lion-Man Country.

"Hmm?"

Black Cat turned back from the floor-to-ceiling window, poured a glass of red wine for Shadow, and poured one for himself by the way. "Tell me."

"During this time, armed helicopters and all kinds of fighter jets have been continuously dispatched over there.

Certain places have been plowed through pretty much from top to bottom."

Shadow picked up the red wine, couldn't help taking a big gulp, and then continued with a shock in his heart. "I heard the Nine Great Mercenary Groups were completely wiped out, with not a single one escaping.

So someone analyzed that the armed helicopters and fighter jets they dispatched were used to bomb the invading mercenary groups.

The problem is, up until now, it's been impossible to figure out how they locked onto the mercenaries' locations!

It's impossible that the mercenaries were approached by those people without even knowing it!"

"This isn't quite right. This behavior doesn't look like the usual Rabbits!" Hearing Shadow's words, Black Cat couldn't help frowning deeply. "Carrying out carpet bombing without targeting...

Aren't they afraid of friendly fire?"

"Specific inside information can't be found, not even rumors." Shadow drew in a cold breath. "Now it seems that the Exoskeleton Armor they officially fitted has a big problem.

Those exoskeleton armors might really be mature exoskeleton armors!

The kind that can enhance individual combat capability.

Oh, that's right.

The bounty for that underground world job has already been raised to 5 billion."

"Did you have people go look at the battlefield afterward?"

"Sigh~ I went." Shadow suddenly sighed, and said gloomily, "Not a single fragment could be found. There were traces of the battlefield having been cleaned up.

They probably had people tidy it up right after the bombing."

"Then no one will dare to go anymore." Black Cat shook his head. "With them playing things on such a scale and with such ferocity, no one will dare to provoke them for some time to come.

Bombing even their own people, and not even letting a single piece of Exoskeleton Armor fragment be found by anyone.

If there's something fishy going on here, nobody would believe it.

But no one dares to provoke the blackened Rabbits...

Let alone that they're in a blackened state after falling into a frenzy, even daring to lay hands on their own people. Are they crazy..."

"Then do we continue?

Is it worth it?"

"Regardless of whether it's worth it or not, we have cheap lives anyway."

Black Cat was silent for a moment, then spoke casually as if he didn't care about his own life at all. "I'm sick of playing in this world too; going to see the scenery of hell isn't bad either."

After a pause, Black Cat returned to an expression as calm as still water. "The target?"

"In this hotel." Shadow took out two maps, pointing at one of them as he spoke. "Three days from now, they will pass through this city.

The target is inside this hotel. I've already bribed some people, and there will be two one-minute patrol blank periods at that time.

One to go in, one to come out.

That'll be enough for us to silently clear their surveillance and then leave."

"The specific room?"

"Not yet. It will only be arranged when they check in, and the inside man will give a prompt then."

"Hmm."

With dark nights and sparse stars, it was indeed prime weather for thievery.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

At this time, Black Cat, Hell Butterfly, and Scorpion took their subordinates and directly hijacked a civilian house to enter it.

Not far from them was a brightly lit hotel.

"The target is on the fifth floor, in the innermost room." Squinting his eyes, Black Cat commanded Hell Butterfly and Scorpion. "Remember, make sure not to alert the guards!"

"Yes!"

"Move out!"

Inside the hotel, Scorpion brought two people, pushing three large crates, and came to the front desk.

"Hello, I have a room reservation. Could you check, we're checking in now."

The receptionist carefully sized up his appearance, then lowered her head to search.

Meanwhile, some security personnel in the lobby glanced at them, and then continued to look around listlessly: small-statured yellow-skinned travelers.

"Hello, I found it. Your rooms are 404, 405, and 406—three rooms.

However, you were booked to check in at twenty-two hundred hours. Why are you only checking in now?"

While passing the room cards over, the receptionist asked curiously.

Taking the room cards, Scorpion raised the camera in front of his chest and smiled indifferently. "The scenery along the way delayed us a bit. The scenery of this place is just too attractive to us."

"Hope you enjoy your trip."

"Mm, we will enjoy it very much."

Inside the elevator, Scorpion quietly put on an earpiece, and then Black Cat's voice came out from it: "Surveillance has been cleared. You have 10 minutes to act."

Then, on the fourth floor, Scorpion opened the crates.

Three women wearing traditional Dog Tycoon clothing emerged from them.

"8 minutes operation time."

Hell Butterfly nodded, and casually instructed the other two women: "You take the elevator, I'll take the fire escape. Move out."

"Who is it?"

At the exit of the fifth-floor elevator, two guards holding guns looked at the two women coming out of the elevator and asked coldly.

"Ah~ Religious Army~"

One of the women trembled all over, collapsing to the ground as if her legs had been frightened weak by the guards.

"Women?

Get lost immediately."

Seeing such timid women, the guards put away their guns and impatiently stepped forward to chase them away.

However, when these guards approached within about a meter of the two women.

The two women simultaneously burst into action, a dagger appearing in one hand while the other hand clamped over a guard's mouth.

Accompanied by a flash of cold light, the daggers in their hands instantly stabbed straight into the guards' necks.

Then, the women let go at the same time, allowing the daggers to merge with the guards' necks, and hurriedly supported the guards' bodies as they slowly collapsed to prevent making any noise.

"Watchdogs dealt with."

Following that, the two women reported softly through their earpieces.

And right after their report, Hell Butterfly came out of the fire escape, tidying her clothes while pushing a large crate.

Through the slowly closing door, one could vaguely see two guards lying on the ground with daggers stuck in their necks, slowly bleeding.

"Open the door."

"Click~"

With a soft sound, the door to a certain room on this floor gently opened.

Then, one of the women nimbly stepped forward and gave Hitachi, who was lying on the bed sleeping, an injection.

"N—"

A sharp pain woke Hitachi, but the anesthetic injected into the body had already taken effect. Without being able to articulate a single word clearly, Hitachi passed out again.

Afterwards, the three of them lifted Hitachi into the crate.

They passed through the fire door, went to the fourth floor, and handed the crate over to Scorpion.

Then, Scorpion pushed the crate through the elevator, crossed the lobby, and lifted the crate into an off-road vehicle.

As for the rest, they pried open a room on the second floor, climbed down from there, and vanished into the darkness.

Inside the room, two naked bodies were left lying on the bed facing backward.

During this time, they had also encountered patrolling guards.

Yet they looked like outsiders at a glance, so the guards didn't care, assuming they were tourists: after all, in Dog Tycoon, no woman would dare walk around wearing a crotch-length miniskirt plus black silk high heels.

Even less would they dare swagger in front of the Religious Army!

Just like that, Black Cat and his crew completed the mission without alerting anyone.

As for Hitachi, he was spirited out of the hotel without a sound.

It wasn't until the patrol shift change that the people from Dog Tycoon discovered Hitachi was missing.

However, when the Dog Tycoon guard unit started running around like headless chickens, Black Cat and his crew had already driven away from the city, disappearing into the night.
