A few days later, in the core area of ​​the "Night Owl" organization, the headquarters building.

In the office on the top floor, a secret meeting was taking place. Sitting in the boss' chair was a man wearing a white suit vest and gray suit pants. He looked to be around thirty years old, but in fact, he was close to sixty years old. However, judging from his physical condition, he was no different from a young man in his twenties and seemed to be at the peak of his physical fitness.

Sitting opposite him were two people wearing some kind of uniform, a man and a woman. Their faces were very pale and they hardly looked alive, but there was nothing unusual in their voices and movements.

The two sides held a meeting for about half an hour. Judging from each other's expressions, the result of the meeting should have satisfied both parties. After standing up and shaking hands, the two men in some kind of uniform left the office on the top floor of the "Night Owl" organization headquarters.

The man sitting in the boss chair is the current leader of the "Night Owl" organization, Himos. Although many things have happened in Q City recently, according to Himos, these things will not shake his rule. As an ambitious man with a lot of scheming, his top priority at the moment is to make good use of what has happened recently, while consolidating his rule over Q City, he continues to expand his territory.

"Tuk-tuk."

"boss."

"Bring me those documents I need."

"Ok."

With his right hand resting on the desk, Shimos stretched out two fingers and tapped the table. Soon, a secretary in an OL professional suit opened the door of the office. After a simple instruction, Shimos stood up from the boss chair, picked up the cup next to him, and poured himself a cup of coffee.

"Tuk-tuk."

"Boss, here are the documents you requested."

"Well, put it on the table. Don't let anyone disturb me for now."

"Yes."

After putting the documents on the desk, the secretary immediately left Himos' office and closed the door. Himos was not in a hurry to look through the documents. He came to the French window with a cup of coffee, blowing the hot steam on the coffee while looking down at the city. Everything here is different from all other districts in Q City. Here, everything is in order, and there are even quite complete laws. If you don't know and just come here alone, you may even think that this place is more suitable for living than some cities in some countries.

In the united city where the headquarters of the "Night Owl" organization is located, the members of the "Night Owl" organization are responsible for the work of law enforcement. The "Night Owl" members who can live and work here have been strictly screened and are not comparable to those rotten fish and shrimp outside. However, this does not mean that the "Night Owl" members in the "Night Owl" headquarters city are whitewashed good people. On the contrary, they are even more evil than the lowest members of the organization, but they are very good at disguise.

In this united urban area, the living standards and quality of ordinary residents can be said to be very good. Of course, the ordinary residents who can live in this place have been screened by the "Night Owl" organization. Most of them are either rich or noble, usually wealthy businessmen, or some politicians with shameful secrets from other countries around Q City, and there are also many professional celebrities who are well-known in a certain field, as well as their families and family members. Of course, there are also some high-level members of the "Night Owl" organization, and some elite middle-level members. Most of these people are directly under Himos's command, or his confidants.

Not many people remember the original name of the United City District where the "Night Owl" organization's headquarters is located. Himos renamed it to Gmere, which is a word for "property" in his hometown language, and Himos has long regarded Gmere as his personal property. Although on the surface, in the eyes of ordinary residents living in Gmere, Himos is a "mayor" with good character, but in reality, anyone who dares to challenge Himos' authority and get involved in the rights and territory of the "Night Owl" organization is no different from seeking death in Himos' eyes.

Shimos stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in the office, admiring the bird's-eye view of Gemere from here, while drinking the coffee in the cup and placing the coffee cup on the desk. Shimos sat back in the boss chair, picked up the stack of documents that the secretary had just brought in, and began to review them carefully.

In addition to Gemere, the territory controlled by the "Night Owl" organization has been in trouble recently. First, the cruise ship was attacked, then the things on the farm escaped and ran out of the containment base, and then unidentified mysterious people appeared in the private club. There was also an urban legend that appeared half a month ago about a man wearing strange armor and killing people everywhere, and recently there was the matter about his former deputy Layed colluding with the rebels to overthrow him.

The documents in Himos's hand were the result reports of these troublesome matters, big and small, after being dealt with according to Himos's requirements, and also included some loss details. Judging from the responses on the documents, Himos's requirements were basically perfectly implemented.

First of all, there is the problem of the cruise ship. Although the tanker was invaded and held hostage by unidentified mysterious men, and he lost several elite middle-level personnel, the "chips" on the cruise ship were not in trouble, and the most important people were also well protected by his personally appointed men, and were not affected. Although it had some impact on Himos's threats and transactions against those politicians and wealthy businessmen, it was all within his original plan, so it was not a big deal.

Then there were the farm and private club. Although the farm stuff had escaped, he quickly sent someone to catch it back. The farm's losses were not great, and the output of the alien plants was not damaged. However, the data and infrastructure damage had some impact, but these were just icing on the cake and could not affect Himos's rule over the "Night Owl" organization. As for the private club, that place was originally an "entertainment" facility for those who cooperated with him, so even if the entire private club was destroyed, in fact, for Himos, this matter had no effect on him at all. On the contrary, he got a reduction in the conditions required by those who cooperated with him. In fact, Himos still made a small profit.

What Sheamus cares most about right now is Ledley's betrayal. In his opinion, that urban legend was also made up by Ledley to distract his attention.

In Sheamus's consideration, Ledd's betrayal is undoubtedly a thorn in his heart. As Sheamus' former confidant and one of the people who has followed Sheamus for the longest time, Ledd knows many secrets of Sheamus and the "Night Owl" organization. If he wants to use these secrets against him, although he may not be able to successfully overthrow his rule over the "Night Owl" organization and Q City, he will definitely cause great damage to himself. So what Sheamus cares most about now is how to find and capture Ledd and make him shut up forever.

Although Shimos's spies are all over Q City, Ledd, one of the founding members of the "Night Owl" organization, must have found some way to exploit loopholes. As far as Shimos knows, Ledd also has an armed force that cannot be underestimated. According to the information he has obtained, Ledd seems to have obtained a batch of secret equipment and reinforcement devices from somewhere to arm himself and his soldiers. Before, Shimos went to great lengths to send an army to capture Ledd's deputy, just to find out the function of these equipment and reinforcement devices, as well as the location where Ledd stored them. Judging from the number of people sent out, Shimos should attach great importance to this matter.

According to the intelligence sent back, Led sent a rescue team with special abilities to rescue his deputy. The rescue team was very skilled and was able to successfully complete the rescue mission despite being surrounded. This made Himos pay more attention to Led's betrayal. However, an incident that happened a few days ago made Himos have some doubts.

According to the intelligence network controlled by his men, Himos knew that Led had a secret base of operations in the territory controlled by the "Night Owl" organization, which was not small in scale. However, just two days after his intelligence network found the exact location of the secret base, an inexplicable explosion occurred in the secret base. According to the information sent back by the intelligence network, there were no survivors in the secret base and Led was missing.

After learning what happened in the base, the detailed death list of the secret base made Himos' expression solemn. The number of people on the list was enough to have a significant impact, although they were all destroyed along with the secret base. But this not only did not make Himos feel relieved, but made him more worried. Himos knew Led very well, he would not do things so hastily, so his men must have more than just the troops of this base. According to Led's previous habits and style of doing things, Himos concluded that this secret base and the dead soldiers in it were definitely not the main force of Led, and judging from the fact that Led could easily abandon this secret base, the real main force under his command must be much stronger than the strength of this secret base.

As for Led, Sheamus didn't think that Led would die in such a sleight of hand incident. But it didn't seem like he did this deliberately to confuse himself. After thinking about it, Sheamus thought of a possibility, and it was this idea that made Sheamus frown again.

Shimos believed that the destruction of the secret base was definitely not intentional by Led. It was too obvious and no one could fail to see that it was a trap to attract attention, so the destruction of the secret base must have been caused by accident. Considering that Led had obtained a lot of equipment and reinforcements from somewhere before, it was speculated that Led might have used some means to obtain some powerful weapons or reinforcements, and the destruction of the secret base was probably an accident when Led was testing weapons or equipment.

Picking up the on-site photos of the ruins of the secret military base in the file, Shimos made a simple estimate based on the scope of the destruction. No matter what Led was testing, it was enough to threaten his safety.

The rebels' movements in the past few days have been obviously deliberate. Based on his guess, Sheamus believes that this may also be a smokescreen released by Led to attract attention. After thinking about it, Sheamus came to a conclusion that Led's attempt to overthrow his rule is likely to happen recently.

"As expected of you, Layed. If it was ten years ago, if you had really completed everything, you might have been able to succeed. But now, it's different."

Although Led's series of actions made Himos's expression change several times, after understanding everything, Himos calmed down. As he said, if it was some time ago, Led's approach might really succeed, but now, Himos seems to have the confidence. He just appreciates Led's idea. Apart from that, he seems to be completely unconcerned, as if if Led's uprising really goes ahead, it will not have any impact on him. Thinking of this, Himos stood up and poured himself another cup of coffee.

"Tuk-tuk."

"Enter."

"boss."

"what's up?"

"One of your doubles was assassinated on a road outside Gemere. Two of the double's security guards died, and the double was also seriously injured."

"Oh?"

Sheamus became interested. He thought that this assassination was also instructed by Led. However, Sheamus thought that Led would not be so stupid as to think that he could be killed by sending a few people at random, especially since Led knew that Sheamus had many substitutes. He must have other purposes for doing this. Sheamus thought about it and soon thought of something that happened two days ago and connected them together.

"A few days ago, our partners attacked the outpost camp of the Infinite Company that suddenly appeared in our sphere of influence. What was the specific result?"

"Two of them died, and the cannon fodder we sent to help were mostly ambushed, but a dozen deserters survived. According to them, there was no one in the Infinite Company's outpost camp, only deadly traps throughout the camp."

"Any news about those people who assassinated the double?"

"They all have various powerful abilities. Since they are in disguise, their identities are not clear for the time being. However, judging from the results of the energy residue they left behind, those people should have nothing to do with the Infinite Company."

"This Led wanted to stir up a conflict between me and Infinity Company and kill someone with a borrowed knife? Hahaha! Interesting! But Led was still not thoughtful enough. He thought that my ideas were still the same as before."

"Boss, if the camp that was attacked really belongs to Infinite Company, then we..."

"Don't worry. Infinite Company has grown so big, so there must not be a fool in power. They appeared in Q City for the employees who stayed in Q City. If it's according to my thinking, they should be a few important employees, and they have nothing to do with us."

“But the people we’re working with do seem to want to do something with Infinity.”

"Just them? Ha! You really know how to amuse me, Eva."

"But we did help them arrest quite a few Infinite employees."

Sheamus raised one hand, shook his finger, sat in the boss chair, leaned back comfortably, and expressed his opinion.

"You underestimate Infinity Company too much. If you know them, you will know that even if our allies really complete all their plans, they will be easily destroyed by Infinity Company. After all, an ant cannot bite through a tank. As for the "Night Owl" who is weaker than this ant, do you think Infinity Company will take us seriously?"

Sheamus picked up the coffee cup, took a sip of the coffee inside, and continued.

"Yes, we did help them capture a lot of Infinite Company employees, but if there were any important guys among those employees, I can tell you that Q City would not exist on the map the next day. To put it another way, Infinite Company doesn't care what happens here. But for us, it's completely different. As long as we help our allies and fulfill their "great dream", we can gain wealth, territory, weapons and equipment, and those enhanced devices that can turn us into supermen. What we need to do is nothing more than capturing some insignificant people and killing a few idiots who waste food. This kind of business that is sure to make money, I will be very sad if I miss it."

"But if Led can really connect with Infinity, it doesn't seem to be a good thing for us."

"You overestimate him, Eva. Not just anybody can be favored by Infinite Company. He knows that, but he can come up with this idea, which is a clever idea."

"So what should we do next, boss?"

"Simple, we do nothing."

"Do we need to use the injured stand-in to set a trap?"

"No, it's better to be careful about everything. Those assassins might have some connection with the Infinite Company, but I absolutely don't believe that the Infinite Company would interfere in such a trivial matter."

"I understand, boss."

"By the way, check out the recent actions of Layed and the rebels. Apart from this assassination, Layed has been a little too quiet. Although this is more in line with his style, it is better to be safe."

"Yes."

After receiving Shimos' order, the secretary quickly left his office, while Shimos continued to drink coffee and look at the documents.

"Leyede, I'll catch you soon."

After reading the document, Shimos showed a contemptuous expression, sneered, took the coat on the hanger, and left the office.
