Chapter 397: Exacting Revenge

"Yes, master. The madame is currently in the location of the man that you told us to punish. It seems that she is in possession of dozens of deadly weapons. She looks very sure of using them. Even I am afraid of crossing her right now, master." Bernard reported while he whispered the last sentence so that Maria would not hear.

"My son says that you should assist my daughter fully. She would be leading the operation so be sure to back her up. If she returns with even a nail broken, then you could kiss your bonus goodbye." Gerard replied which made Bernard frown.

"It seems that we will assist the Madame with what she is planning. But may I ask, will you kill the man because we were only told to scare him and teach him a lesson? Bernard asked as killing someone would be too much as law enforcement will definitely investigate it.

"You do not have to worry as I will only do what he did to my son to him. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Tell me the information that you have as of now." Maria stated as she checked the monitors for a blind spot in the protection detail.

"Very well, Madame. The man in question, Edison Torrio, is currently not in the premises as he attended a party. Someone has been dispatched to monitor him in the party but worry not as it is reported that he is now returning to the villa." Bernard reported.

"We should use the chance of his vehicle entering the premises as a chance to strike. I will strike down the tires of the vehicle while you neutralize the guards in the area. If I neutralize them then I might accidentally kill them." Maria stated as she opened a window and saw that it has finally become dark.

"Also, deal with the streetlamps. I need the cover of darkness after I strike the tires of the vehicle. I need it so that I can get inside the car unnoticed." Maria added.

"Do not worry, Madame. We have already placed signal jammers that can emit an electromagnetic field for five seconds that will incapacitate all electronics in the area. But that would also mean that we will have no vision of you in that five seconds. Are you fine with that?" Bernard stated in a worried tone.

"Five seconds will be enough for me to get near that bastard!" Maria stated as she opened the van door and blended in the darkness. She was given an earpiece to tell her if the vehicle is almost near the subdivision.

"Every personnel in position. Once the target's vehicle enters the subdivision, immediately incapacitate the guards one by one except for those at the front entrance. Are the sniper's ready?" Bernard stated as he checked the monitors once more so that no unprecedented event happens.

The surrounding houses, where the snipers are currently located, are currently unoccupied probably from the information that someone from the underworld lives near that area. The situation became favorable with them but that also meant added work as there were cameras facing the villa which are probably placed by Edison Torrio's men.

"Are you sure that you have hacked all the cameras in the area? We did not miss one, right?" Bernard asked as this operation must not fail because failure means death.

"The cameras placed in the surrounding villas have already been tampered with and we have not found anymore. Sir, the eagle is returning to its nest." The person with Bernard inside the van stated as he got visual of the car entering the subdivision.

"Madame, the target has entered the area. Please prepare and be cautious. Escape at once if you think that it is dangerous. Every other personnel, subdue the guards." Bernard stated as he monitored the approaching vehicle.

Edison Torrio is said to be a businessman that is also prominent in the underworld. He uses legitimate businesses as fronts for his under the table operations such as drugs and human trafficking. He caught wind of the fabled Start Up Wizard and wanted to do business with him as all the latter's invested businesses never went bankrupt.

In the end, he was turned down which is why he felt humiliated. He felt that it was his duty to teach the Start Up Wizard a lesson. He decided to make a plan to scare the person in question's child a little and made sure that it would be never traced back to him, but the plan went haywire.

He already forgotten about that as he was never questioned nor interrogated by other people about it. He became assured as nothing could be traced back to him but that became the mistake of a lifetime. As his vehicle is pulling up to the driveway of the villa, the sound of tires popping could be heard from outside.

The vehicle stopped as the scratching noise of steel and pavement could be heard. The streetlamps suddenly and all sources of light in the area suddenly turned off. A collective noise of grunts and screams could be heard from the outside which made Edison shout at his driver.

"What is going on outside?!" Edison stated and the lights returned a few seconds later.

When Edison's vision returned, his driver is no longer inside the car and is missing from his seat. He started to panic and tried to get out of his car to flee but a blade is suddenly up against his neck. Edison suddenly froze as he knew that any sudden movements that he makes would mean his death.

"Who are you people!? What do you want?! Do you not know me? You are messing with the wrong person!" Edison shouted as his last attempt to scare off the assailant that is now next to him.

"You do not have to worry about that. I know who you are and if you are smart then you will not seek revenge for whatever it is that I am going to do to you. It is only right for me to exact revenge upon you but do not worry because I will not kill you." The female assailant stated and a series of screams erupted from the car a few seconds later.
