Chapter 187

Texas was silent for a moment, then sighed softly and said, "It's good that you know what's going on."

She couldn't really make decisions for Han Fei; she could only offer reminders.

"So, all we need to do now is wait?"

Theresa didn't have any particular opinion on hiring; to be precise, she didn't think there were too many people in the Special Operations Center right now.

The reason is simple: Babel has far more agents than Han Fei's Special Operations Center.

The number of people in the Special Operations Center is nothing to Theresa.

With that limited manpower, it's just an elite squad.

However, she remained silent simply because she didn't want to offend Texas.

"Let's just wait," Han Fei said. "Before the power goes out, we'll all have nothing to do. In the meantime, we can take the time to experience the local customs and culture of Kazimierz and give ourselves a break."

After hearing this, Theresa blinked and said with some surprise, "I have a feeling that this trip was particularly easy."

"Wouldn't it be better to relax?" Han Fei said.

That's not what I meant.

Theresa shook her head. "I just feel, well, it's quite different from what I expected."

"I thought we would have a fierce battle, then acquire more supplies, and finally evacuate."

"But right now, there doesn't seem to be any particularly intense fighting; it really feels like we're on vacation."

Han Fei didn't think anything of it, casually explaining, "This is normal. There aren't that many intense battles happening. It's really not that serious."

The most important thing for a kiting rat is to avoid combat, right?

If they start fighting as soon as they land and keep fighting until they retreat, then they can't be called "mouse" anymore; they're a full-equipped assault team.

With so few men, how could Han Fei possibly launch a full-scale attack on the Grand Knight Territory? Becoming a rat was their ultimate fate.

Moreover, there's an even more crucial battle to come.

"Well, we've finally achieved some peace and quiet now," Han Fei said. "Anyway, I suggest we take some time tomorrow to experience the local customs and culture of Kazimierz. Who knows when we'll be back in Kazimierz again?"

"Enjoy the experience, and then, when the time is right, we'll start 'eating'."

"Let's go back now," Theresa said. "Go back and get plenty of rest. Tomorrow, let's not think about anything else. Let's take a vacation first, and then launch a full-scale attack?"

"That's pretty much the gist of it," Han Fei said. "Alright, let's go back now."

Han Fei led the two of them around and headed towards the hotel.

Nothing happened that night. When it was broad daylight, Han Fei got up early, washed up, and then met up with his teammates.

Chastina and Sona were also there, but unlike Han Fei's calm demeanor, both of them had solemn expressions.

That's why, when they heard that Han Fei was going to take them to experience the local customs and culture of Kazimierz, Fartooth and Wild Mane had a subtle "you're kidding me" expression.

You're about to do something truly momentous, something that will be recorded in history, and yet you're thinking about going on vacation?!

For a moment, these two really struggled to maintain their composure.

Sona spoke up immediately, saying, "Are you serious?"

Chastina chimed in, "Or maybe we should just forget about it. I think we can discuss it further. There's no need to go now, is there?"

Well, how should I put it?

Han Fei and the two girls, their faces tense, said softly, "I feel like there's nothing more we can do. From now on, we just have to see how things go."

"In this situation, what else do you think we can do?"

"Staying here is just wasting time; I might as well go out for a walk."

A more professional team might have a planning phase.

But for Han Fei, getting involved in these things was unnecessary.

In his view, this was like sneaking into the "Babel" for a meal.

Plans can never keep up with changes.

Instead of thinking about random things, I'd rather go out for a walk.

Which pet hamster carefully plans its escape into the "Babel"?

That's simply impossible!

Mice don't follow a set routine; they don't sneak in to eat. They rely on improvisation.

It's the same everywhere.

Fierce Attack Bro won't act according to Mouse's plan!

Mouse can only plan the next route based on Fierce Attack Bro's whereabouts; there's no reason for Fierce Attack Bro to act according to Mouse's plan.

The latter is somewhat contrary to the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.

However, Han Fei didn't rule it out completely. Before the two could speak, he added, "Of course, if you have any good ideas, you can share them, and we'll consider them."

Upon hearing this, the guests retreated, and the guests, still confused, remained silent.

Now, they felt like they were on a pirate ship.

--This person doesn't seem very reliable!

He was quite composed that night when he fought the Assassins of the Armorless Union.

As a result, his thinking is so unpredictable that most people can't keep up with his pace!

Texas, on the other hand, was already used to this and didn't even flinch.

Theresa had only known Han Fei for a relatively short time, but having spent some time in the Special Operations Center, she naturally wasn't surprised.

A short while later, Sona sighed and said, "You really are something else, I don't know what to say."

"Don't worry, things will work themselves out," Han Fei said earnestly. "Instead of overthinking, why don't you come with me now? Let's go for a walk, relax, and not be too tense."

Sona and Chastina exchanged a glance, then sighed, "Alright, let's do it your way."

Seeing their reaction, Texas reassured them, "Our boss may seem a bit eccentric on ordinary days, but when it really matters, he's always someone you can rely on."

Theresa chimed in, "That's right. Think about it carefully, and you'll realize it. If he were truly unreliable, we wouldn't follow him."

Chastina still trusted Theresa, and the latter's words immediately eased much of the worry in Chastina's eyes.

"Hey, don't worry."

Seeing everyone's reaction, Han Fei couldn't help but defend himself, saying, "Just like they say, although I can be unreliable at times, most of the time I'm quite steady, okay!"

Sona sighed and shook her head, saying, "So, where are you planning to go? If you don't have any plans, I can show you around."

"I do have a few places I'd like to go," Han Fei said, "Places that were recommended to me before."

These places are, of course, the locations Viviana recommended earlier.

Since he was already there, Han Fei naturally decided to take a stroll around.

"Let's go then," Sona said. "Consider it a relaxing trip."

Since we can't change Han Fei, we'll change ourselves!

Anyway, I'm just treating it as a break for myself.

So the group left the hotel and began their new journey at the location provided by Viviana.

This time it's a real vacation.

Han Fei spent the entire day outside with the girls, only returning to the hotel at six o'clock in the evening.

Besides experiencing the local customs and culture of Kazimierz, Han Fei also made sure to purchase some equipment.

It wasn't anything too complicated, just a simple communication device to prevent being cut off from the outside world after infiltrating the building.

In addition, Han Fei also brought some gifts for the girls in the Special Operations Center.

These are just some local souvenirs, given as a token of appreciation.

After a simple dinner, everyone gathered in Han Fei's room.

As the door closed, everyone sat together, their eyes all fixed on Han Fei.

Han Fei remained calm. He leisurely put away the souvenirs and said, "Well then, barring any unforeseen circumstances, we should be taking action tonight. Are you nervous?"

Everyone shook their heads.

But in reality, Han Fei also caught a different look in the eyes of Sona and Chastina.

Texas and Theresa were probably genuinely not nervous. The former had been through a lot with Han Fei, and the latter had seen countless big scenes.

In comparison, the lack of nervousness shown by these two young female knights seemed somewhat less genuine.

After all, once exposed, they would have to flee to another place.

However, Han Fei didn't point this out, and continued, "Since everyone isn't nervous, let's pack up and set off."

"Considering their reaction speed, I think we'd better go outside the building now and wait, so we can quickly break in once it starts."

"As for Chastina, stick to the original plan and stay outside with Sona to provide cover. If anything happens, remember to let us know."

Chastina nodded and said, "Okay, I'll keep watch outside. I'll notify you immediately if anything happens."

Sona hesitated for a moment, then said, "I know my mission is to protect Chastina, but are you sure you don't need me to come in with you?"

"We really don't need it."

Han Fei said softly, "You and Chastina can stay outside together. If something happens to us, you take her and run away. We'll find a way to get away."

"Deserting in the face of battle is not the act of a knight." Sona frowned.

Han Fei said softly, "This isn't called desertion; it's called preserving our strength. In short, proceed according to plan."

Having said that, Han Fei stood up and said, "Alright, let's go."

Sona wanted to say something more, but seeing Han Fei's expression, she swallowed her words.

The group left the hotel in a grand procession and headed straight for the headquarters of the Commercial Union.

Han Fei didn't lead his men directly closer. Instead, he chose a spot about two hundred meters away from the building and waited patiently for the large partition to take place.

At that time, because the Knight's Championship main event had begun, there were few pedestrians on the streets; most of them had probably gone to watch the game.

This made things convenient for Han Fei's dog, Chongchong, as he didn't have to worry about attracting too much attention.

Time passed by, minute by minute, and before long, half an hour had gone by.

Looking at the still dazzling neon lights around them, Sona couldn't help but ask, "They didn't fail, did they?"

"It's not that bad."

Han Fei waved his hand and said softly, "Just wait a little longer."

The Four-City Blackout is a major event in Kazimierz, and Han Fei doesn't think he, a mere butterfly, can extinguish such a significant event.

As soon as the words were spoken, without the slightest warning, the dazzling neon lights all around, the lights in the buildings, and the streetlights all went out silently.

Kazimierz, which had been brightly lit just moments before, was suddenly plunged into darkness.

"What did I tell you? Hasn't this already begun?"

Han Fei raised an eyebrow, raised his hand, took out the golden skull mask, and put it on.

"Well then, it's our turn now."
