Chapter 1785: Ocean Eleven
There is a thing where atrocity becomes too much.
It is when human is not treated as living beings but as object. And he saw it. And because he saw it, he did not want to see it.
"At most a vacation" he suddenly thought to himself. His mind pivot to another memory to erase what he was about to remember
William Woodman has decided that after this he would ask for a five-year vacation before going into deep cover again.
For this to happen however, he must first succeed in this task
Rescuing Helva!
And for that to happen he recruited eleven men. These eleven men is now sitting inside his submarine.
For him to recruit all these eleven men, he only need to recruit one.
And that is Danny. He recruited Danny and Danny recruited the other ten people.
Danny owe him in Moscow. Let's just say, Danny was in a certain peril when William saved him.
The Eclipse Command, that shadowy intelligence agency belonging to the Republic is not a joke.
Danny owed him one.
And he promise that if he wanted something, he would aid him. And now, he wanted something.
"Gentleman, thank you for being here"
But before William could say anything, one of them ask
"Danny gathered us here. Looking around the table, I see some familiar faces. So, I could guess a few things. What are we stealing?"
William chuckles.
Danny is a Dimensional Thief. Before the Fall, he was quite famous among the thievery scene.
Elegant crime, without victim, only stealing. No murder, no killing
After the Fall, he choose the Thief class.
And when he reached a certain level of power, he is now a Dimensional Thief.
Basically, he could steal across dimensions
He came from New York and while at first, he was a small thief as he grew in reputation, he began putting up crews to steal things.
A ringleader of sorts. Only it is for thieves
William is a man of many talents.
Thieving however is not one of them.
Of course, what he wanted them to do is not stealing something.
But stealing someone. Even Danny right now does not know what he is planning to do.
Probably in his mind, he is brought here to steal something.
And this is what worries William.
After all, the person he wanted to steal is not some ordinary nobody.
It would surely create chaos.
Danny might do it for him because he owes him.
But to expect the other ten men to just follow Danny without incentive is naïve.
Fortunately, enough, William knows just the right bait.
He looks at people. There is the Rusty Brad.
William heard from Danny that he has a hotel in some other Earths.
He never goes there but it is quite a strange hotel.
The bizarre and extraordinary seem to be gathering there.
unexpected but it is not like he never steals a person before
"Will the target be cooperative?" brad ask
"I don't want what happen in that Zombie Earth to happen again" Brad look at the Italian guy
and the Italian guy simply raise his shoulders like he did not know anything.
Willaim did not know what this is about but it is clear that Danny is quite familiar with the
crew he assemble this time.
"I was the one that suffers the most at that time" the Chinese guy suddenly chimes in. Danny
look at his crew and ask
"What about it, William? The target. Cooperative or not?"
"Very cooperative"
"Good. It means this person did want to get out of here"
Danny close his eyes for a second like he is thinking of something
Then opening his eyes, he said
"From what I could see form the structure, this is a prison right? You should called the Fields
brothers if you want someone to prison break someone"
Hearing this Willaim only smiles bitterly
But Danny continue
"They are a pro at busting people out of prison. There is no need to call me and assemble my
team actually"
It is not Danny is complaining about the job. It is just he did not understand why Willaim would call upon him when there is Fields Brothers that he could call
"Well, Dany, you owe me one. The Fields brother did not owe me. And I don't think they could
keep their mouth shut if I told them where to go. They have a weakness that you don't" Willaim did not elaborate on that weakness and instead changes the topic
"It is because you owe me...immensely, I might add, that I know you would accept my
request" There is a complicated expression on Danny face. He looks at the ten men and look back at William and he understand
Danny is basically saying to him right now, "I owe you, but these ten people did not owe you.
For me to get what you want, you need to convince these ten people" A glance is all that is
needed for Willaim to understand what Danny is trying to say to him Willaim then look at the ten men on the chair, looking at him and he added
"But these ten people that you brought with you did not know me and they probably would
not follow you if you just want to fulfil your promise.
"I trust them."
"I don't." There is a tense silence and then William smiles.
"But I do trust you all want something. A reward for all of your hard work" hearing this the
ten people perked their ears.
"The person I want you to steal is the Grand Researcher., That structure you saw is the
impenetrable prison under the sea, Leviathan Hold.
Hearing this everyone in the room pale in face. There is a sudden tense silence. The ten people
all look at Danny
And even though they did not say anything, Willaim who is seeing this probably knows what
they are trying to convey "What have you brought us into?" This is probably what they were thinking
