He gave Natasha a thoughtful look, then withdrew his hand without hesitation.

Pfft, I'd stayed single all these years through sheer ability. No matter how delicious a dish was, if it wasn't to my taste, I absolutely wouldn't eat it.

"Tell me the specifics of the mission." Shen He turned to look at the warehouse exposed under the bright lights. "That's the mission site, right? It looks like it's full of gangsters."

"The gangsters are only a facade."

In just a second, Natasha's smile vanished. She pulled a tablet from behind her, displaying the structural layout of the entire warehouse.

"From here to here, it's all just an outer facade." Natasha traced a line across the screen. "On the surface, it appears to be a warehouse belonging to the New York branch of Japan's Yamaguchi-gumi. But here..." Natasha circled the central area. "The defenses here are extremely tight. There are at least a hundred fully armed special forces personnel and fortress-grade defensive installations. We suspect this is the entrance to a secret underground area."

Shen He looked at the layout on the tablet. The area marked as the center was almost densely packed with red dots representing enemies.

Not to mention that many locations were specifically marked in red with labels like "heavy machine gun" and "grenade launcher."

"You've already found out this much, so it's obviously suspicious, isn't it?" Shen He couldn't help complaining. "Wouldn't it be easier to just fire a missile and blow this place to the sky?"

"Our main objective is to trace the source of the weapons." Natasha shot Shen He a glare. "Do you think four hundred million dollars is so easy to earn? I've been an agent for so many years, and my savings aren't even one percent of what you made this time."

"Fine. Saiki, what did you find?" Shen He looked at Saiki.

Saiki Kusuo's eyes had long since turned into the cross-eyed look he got when using Clairvoyance.

"There aren't that many people."

"What?"

Shen He didn't understand at first.

"There is indeed a secret underground space there, but there are only three or four guards, whether at the entrance or inside. I can teleport you directly in." Saiki Kusuo relaxed his crossed eyes.

"Then what are we waiting for?" Shen He shrugged. "Let's go."

"Wait—!"

Natasha hurriedly stopped him. If there were only so few people, she could have infiltrated the place easily last time. Why would she have needed Shen He's help?

However, Saiki Kusuo saw everything clearly. He directly teleported the group, and their surroundings abruptly changed. They were already in what appeared to be a processing plant.

The remaining guards did not even make a sound before Saiki Kusuo effortlessly knocked them unconscious with telekinesis.

The alarm system here was never even triggered.

"Four hundred million dollars really was pretty easy to earn."

Shen He raised a hand and opened a wooden crate on the ground. It was filled with guns and ammunition.

Did that mean the mission was complete?

With Saiki Kusuo on my side, the world is mine.

"I'm going to hack into their central control system and look for the weapons shipment records."

Natasha found a computer and got to work. She did not even know what to say. When she had come here last time, the defenses had been a hundred times tighter than they were now.

She even suspected that word had gotten out and the people here had evacuated in advance.

With nothing else to do, Shen He wandered around the somewhat dark area. Then, all of a sudden, he spotted what looked like a large control console.
