At that moment, someone knocked on the door.
Black Billy called out, "Come in."
The door opened, and Byrne, who was acting as the Angel of Time, said, "Two officers, Major Martin is back."
Billy nodded. "All right. Gather everyone for a brief meeting."
He then turned to the other colonel. "Colonel Pruhler, your gun has been well maintained."
Pruhler understood the hidden meaning in his words. Packing up his things, he said, "You go ahead. I'll be right there."
Colonel Billy shook his head and strode out of the room.
In the hall outside, besides Byrne, there was also a young man holding a sniper rifle.
He was teasing a kitten when Billy cleared his throat. "Major Martin, we're on a mission. Please stay focused."
This young man called Martin was the assassin who had previously sniped the management of the Merlion. He looked harmless, and when he smiled, he seemed especially sunny.
But this man wielded the power of Winter God Ullr. As a god in Norse Mythology, Ullr was not only the god of winter, but also the god of archery and hunting.
Therefore, his representative was likewise an expert marksman.
Martin smiled and nodded at that, but showed no intention of chasing the kitten away.
Billy had no choice but to let him be.
Before long, Byrne and several other Beyonders arrived in the hall, and more than a dozen people nearly filled it.
When Colonel Pruhler stepped out of the room, Billy swept his gaze around and said in a deep voice, "Gentlemen, you should know why we've come here."
As Billy spoke, a small black figure crawled out from behind the ventilation fan in the corner of the hall.
It looked like a little person wearing a black cloak, but there was nothing inside
