The Mori Family's mansion was unexpectedly built near a slum, where they constructed a luxurious villa near the coast of a fjord.

Joe Ga had once asked Dorian why the Mori Family would build their house here.

The answer he got was that this was where the Mori Family had started—after they had prospered, they chose this place as their foundation. Then they spread money generously in that slum, not only recruiting enough loyal followers but also obtaining a perfect barrier.

In the past, no stranger could attack the Mori Family by getting around that area because nearly half of the people in the slum relied on the Mori Family for their livelihood.

Joe Ga rode in a black van into the area, and when the van stopped inside a small courtyard, Joe Ga opened the door, got out, and entered the safe house prepared by Dorian.

Riding all the way there, Joe Ga acutely felt the anomaly of the place. Seeing Dorian standing not far away waving at him, he looked around cautiously then called out to Dorian, "Come help, I've brought quite a few things."

Several people each carried two large boxes into a dilapidated two-story building. After catching his breath, Joe Ga looked at Dorian and said, "Is this house safe? The situation around here doesn't seem quite right."

After hearing this, Dorian nodded and said, "The Mori Family has issued an alert order, and many strangers with weapons have entered this place. Naturally, those who usually depend on the Mori Family are on edge."

As he said this, Dorian looked at Joe Ga, whose brows were slightly furrowed, and laughed, "Don't worry; this is a safe house I prepared for myself a long time ago.

The van you used was bought from its original owner by me; no one will notice us.

The few families around here have all been harassed by the Mori Family, and even if they see something, they will pretend not to."

Apart from sometimes getting hot-headed and led around by the nose, Dorian was very reliable in his work. He would definitely not have prepared a safe house near the Mori Family's stronghold for the mere purpose of having a place to sleep during a break.

Joe Ga didn't ask how Dorian knew the people around here, as Dorian himself had once been a 'victim of the Mori Family', and it was easy for victims to connect with each other.

Joe Ga looked around upstairs and downstairs and finally nodded, "This place is good. Has Owl done the reconnaissance?"

Dorian went to a room, took out a computer, and while walking towards the living room, said, "Many strangers have come to this area today; this house is no longer suitable as a sniper point. Owl is looking for a more suitable sniping position to cover us when we attack."

As he spoke, Dorian turned on the laptop he was holding, and after clicking on it, a map appeared on the screen.

Looking at the puzzled expressions on the faces of Joe Ga and the others, Dorian spread his hands and said, "I think Google Maps might be a bit more intuitive. If you're not comfortable with it, I have aerial photos taken by Owl as well."

Joe Ga, observing the markings on the map, knew Dorian had put thought into it.

The electronic map not only marked the attack route but also the retreat routes—and there was more than one.

Joe Ga pointed his finger at a spot by the seaside on the map, asking, "What's this?"

Dorian glanced at it and said, "That's a rocky shore. I left a rubber dinghy there; in case the attack doesn't go smoothly and we can't retreat by land, we can use the dinghy to go around the fjord, making landfall from the other side.

To the south, the seabed has many reefs; patrol boats certainly won't be appearing there, so it won't matter if we take the dinghy."

Joe Ga compared it with another retreat route and shook his head, "The Mori house is a hornet's nest; I don't want to get into street fights with the locals here if we retreat by sea."

Dorian shook his head with slight disdain and said, "As long as people from the Mori Family die, those locals and those strange faces will definitely not attack us anymore."

Joe Ga wasn't as optimistic as Dorian; when he arrived here, he had felt that the atmosphere was a bit off. Logically, the Mori Family had just won a 'big victory'; it made no sense to act like they were facing a grave threat, which would make it obvious to any insightful person that they were outwardly strong but inwardly hollow.

If those strangers mentioned by Dorian were indeed mercenaries hired by the Mori Family, then who exactly made them so nervous?

Glorious Society?

Probably!

But would the Glorious Society choose to start a war at the Mori Family's stronghold?

The Mori Family's seaside villa was backed by the sea and a natural barrier was formed by a 8-meter high cliff, with only a steel staircase leading directly down the cliff to facilitate access to the beach for the Mori Family.

Dorian's plan was to enter from the side, using the cover of night to approach the villa and complete the mission as quietly as possible, then return the way they came, blending into the complex terrain of the slums in the prepared vehicles.

As long as people discovered that the members of the Mori Family were all dead, they would essentially gain safety.

Just as Dorian said, no one would fight to the death for a boss who could no longer pay.

Dorian had put in a lot of effort, in just a few hours, he combined Antar's aerial surveillance and his own experience working with the Mori Family to mark the patrol routes of the Mori Family's gunmen and all the visual blind spots around the seaside villa on the map.

This guy had planned a complete route, how to enter, how to attack, how to retreat, almost nanny-like precision to every step.

If you added Antar's backend surveillance and command, it might not be foolproof, but it definitely competed with the operation mode of special forces on television.

Joe Ga could see that Dorian was also a bit eager to prove his capabilities.

This guy, as the only one in the team with a special forces academy background, was in fact the junior member.

Anyone with a bit of ambition wouldn't be satisfied with the status quo, let alone a retired special forces soldier?

Even if he acknowledged the combat strength of his comrades, that didn't mean he could tolerate always being on the fringes. Find more chapters on mvl

Dorian admitted his marksmanship wasn't as good as the boss's and his experience wasn't as much as Karman's, but when it came to indoor CQB and urban combat, he always believed he was the best.

Joe Ga appreciated Dorian's current state, his attack plan was not only detailed, but made full use of his own and Karman's abilities, where precise shooting was needed, where stealthy infiltration was required; the whole process had no arrangements exceeding his abilities, and it did not overlook Karman's role.

Any boss would hope their employees were competitive, and Dorian was definitely a good employee.

Joe Ga didn't really want to dampen Dorian's enthusiasm, but seeing Karman frown, he ultimately shook his head and said, "Notify Owl to find a sniping spot near the fjord.

We'll attack according to Dorian's plan, but we must retreat by sea."

As Joe Ga spoke, he looked at the somewhat puzzled Dorian, smiled and said, "Your plan is fine, but I always have a strange feeling that retreating by land doesn't seem safe.

I trust my intuition!"

Karman, who had been silent, saw Dorian seemed to want to argue, coughed and with an inhuman look in his eyes briefly glanced at him, and in a hoarse voice said, "The more people, the more trouble!

We have no backup, unless you think killing everyone we come across is a good idea, otherwise consider problems the way the boss does."

"There's no need for that..."

"But it's the safest way, the boss's life is more important than those people's lives!"
