Chapter 69: operation the spartans rage begins

After a lot of planning and preparation Christmas was now fast approaching. Surprisingly, Eminem invited Clark to his family’s Christmas party. This was just like manner falling down from heaven to Clark.

“Shit man, this is an unexpected boon, this alone is enough to make me the greatest contributor in this mission”. Clark thought in excitement. After he was informed, Captain Briggs was not shy with his praise as he complimented both Clark and Sonia while telling them to continue the good work.

Some of Clark’s squad mates were already preparing to risk infiltrating the Governor’s security guards, especially the Corporals. The risks were high, but the squad was prepared to take risks. Well, no one had to take risks again as this success from Clark directly made the mission 30% easier.

…

It was finally here, December 25th, the day of action finally arrived. This was Clark’s first time being to a Governor’s family mansion, it was a mansion worth being owned by a governor. The mansion was a perfect definition of luxuriousness.

As Eminem led him into the mansion in a cheerful mood, Clark and Sonia silently observed the compound’s security details. They became secretly shocked as they saw how tight the security was. It was normal for a Governor to have tight security, but this one was slightly too exaggerated. Eminem’s father was clearly the cautious type.

If they started the assault without an insider like them, there was a 90% chance that they would have failed the mission, and there was a 60% chance that they would have been captured.

Clark secretly heaved a huge sigh of relief as they walked inside the mansion. The ceremony was full with people and was very boisterous. As it was a ceremony organized by the Governor, a lot of influential people in the state attended. On seeing the outfits of the people here, you’ll know directly that this is a gathering of rich moguls.

After drinking a lot of alcohol, Eminem finally led Clark and his group of friends around his father’s mansion. The virtual security used in the mansion was completely within Clark’s hacking ability. The Spartan military let them use their normal weapons but they didn’t become complacent, all soldiers were provided with the best hacking devices currently in the Sparta republic.

As Eminem led them around the building, Clark secretly used his hacking device as he collected valuable information while Sonia clung closely to him.

“Clark you never fail to make me laugh with this backpack you and your girlfriend carry around,” Frank joked. This earned a laugh from Eminem and the others.

“This will be the trending fashion in the future, just watch”. Clark also joked back which earned another fit of laughter.

As Clark laughed with them, he was completely shocked foolish because of what he just found. It took all the will power he had, to maintain his laughter as he almost lost his composure completely. The door they just passed was actually a hidden compartment housing hundreds of soldiers.

The hidden compartment actually held five 2nd rank high-grade soldiers, twenty 1st rank high-grade soldiers and 200 normal soldiers all clothed in exotic armor.

“This Governor is really a cautious rich piece of shit,” Clark cursed in anger and alarm.

As soon as they received the information, Captain Briggs and all the other soldiers became stunned from the new information. If they stormed in without this information there was a very high chance that they would have all died without completing their mission.

Captain Briggs took this information very seriously, as he ordered Sonia to try every means possible to stall these secret soldiers before the Governor is killed. It was a direct order from the Captain, so Sonia acknowledged it immediately as she looked for an excuse to separate herself from the group of friends.

After Eminem brought them around the mansion a bit, Clark finally told him to take them to his room which he did. The room was very luxurious as expected, but Clark’s mind was not on these things at the moment. As the boys entered the room, they finally noticed that Clark just stood at the door, so they turned to face him.

“Clark come on, what are you standing there for?” Frank asked with a confused expression on his face, Clark ignored him as he stared directly at Eminem.

“Bro, I’m really sorry to say this, our friendship was real but some things are just too good to be real. I’m really sorry Eminem, but I’m not who you think I am…,” he paused a little as he tried to recollect his thoughts.

Clark finally steeled his heart as his gaze became firm, while he glanced at the group of confused boys. “I am a soldier of the Sparta republic and I’m here on a mission. I brought you all here to avoid the aftermath of what’s about to happen, I really don’t want any harm to befall you all”.

He suddenly turned to face Eminem again, “Eminem, I hope you’ll find a place in your heart to forgive me”.

After saying all he could, Clark locked the door against them and virtually hacked it not to open for the next 6 hours. After much preparation, operation “The Spartan’s Rage” officially began. Captain Briggs ordered the operation to start, as he led his entourage of soldiers to enter the mansion stealthily.

The security was tight but this was a group of high-grade soldiers. They killed all opposition they encountered on the way silently and swiftly as they tried to avoid making the situation too chaotic already.

As they worked from the outside, Clark worked from the inside as he disabled all communication sources in the whole mansion. After sabotaging all sources to spread information, he silently weaved his way expertly behind the Governor as the ceremony continued.

The ceremony was boisterous as ever, the guests enjoyed themselves leisurely as they had no idea of the impending disaster.

As the ceremony continued, Clark suddenly noticed the Governor become tense as he turned glancing around, he only noticed this because he was keenly watching him. The Governor glanced at his soldiers [i.e bodyguards], he finally saw a face among his bodyguards that he didn’t recognize.

Boom!! The Governor was extremely decisive as he jumped up, anti-gravity boots, Clark recognized the boots immediately even before they activated.

Boom!! Clark reacted fast as he advanced to grab him down only to be interrupted by one of the guards. “Shit, a high-grade soldier,” he cursed in frustration but didn’t hesitate as he unsheathed sword with speed, slashed at the soldier while jumping with speed. As Clark did all these maneuvers, his armor activated as the high-grade soldier dodged by rolling backwards.

Whirr!! The boots finally activated but Clark was a step faster as he grabbed one of the Governor’s legs. Vroom!! The boots carried the governor away dragging Clark along. The boots were not of the highest quality, this one’s capacity was to carry a single person, the boots carried them forward and upwards a bit before the weight became too much as they both fell back down.

“How did he discover despite the information blockage,” Clark thought as they both fell down.

Whoosh!! He didn’t waste time despite his doubts as he cut the Governor’s boots repeatedly with his swords on landing. The boots finally turned to scrap as the governor looked at him in panic, “who are you? Do you know who you are messing with?” He asked with a shaky voice.

His decision to desert his guards now shot him back in the foot as Clark’s squad mates finally started appearing.

Boom!! Boom!! Boom!! They didn’t hesitate as they quickly started unleashing hell on him, his self-protection gadgets immediately activated shields around his body to protect him.

As they shot at him, others advanced forward to stall his guards that were sprinting here to protect him. Hell, quickly broke loose as the area became chaotic, the people [i.e guests] started running randomly as gun shots rang repeatedly.
