Completion

"Phew... finally completed it."

In the flickering candlelight, Chiba set down his pen and let out a long breath. Then, he unconsciously glanced at the three scrolls beside him and could not help but sigh inwardly. Good thing Yukina brought me such high-quality intelligence summaries over the past three days. Without the information she organized, I probably couldn't have fully perfected the Annihilation Plan.

And now, as long as Watanabe Kenshin followed what was written here, then no matter how cunning those enemies were, they would inevitably walk into the net!

At least I managed to finish this plan before tomorrow's operation.

With that thought, a smile curled across Chiba's lips as his gaze fell upon the scroll, whose ink was gradually drying. It was already covered in tiny writing, seemingly divided into numerous sections. Each section was preceded by triangles, circles, black dots... all kinds of paragraph markers. At the very bottom of the scroll were even detailed instructions on the order of those symbols. It was clear that this was an exceptionally detailed plan, with every step tightly linked to the next.

It was even more thorough and complete than the bait plan from the Defense Map mission.

"What's got you smiling so... uh..."

At that moment, Hirohiko's voice came from across the room. He slightly raised his head, moving his gaze away from the novel and onto Chiba's face. When he saw the smile at the corner of Chiba's lips, he could not help but speak.

But when it came to Chiba's smile, the words caught in Hirohiko's throat. He did not quite know how to describe it.

After all, he felt that words like "sinister" or "as if a scheme had succeeded" were not very appropriate for describing Chiba.

"It's nothing. How's your reading going?"
