It had the formidable strength to launch black ops against any country, and judging from past experience and assessments of their abilities, the chance of success was nearly one hundred percent.
Whether infiltrating an enemy nation's military base to obtain vital intelligence or assassinating key figures who threatened world peace, this team could accomplish it all with ease.
