The Legendary Mechanic - Chapter 185

Chapter 185


It was gloomy and raining in the Western Continent . After a few days of taking the shaky civilian train, Han Xiao finally arrived in the capital of Maple, the City of Maple Leaf .

Maple's population density was low despite having a large area of land . Houses were cheap, and the average house size was rather big; even those in the middle-income bracket were able to afford a villa . The civilians in the capital had a pretty high income . Every year, the government of Maple would chase the beggars and the poor to other cities, which resulted in Maple Leaf's environment being optimal, peaceful, and comfortable with sufficient greenery .

Han Xiao was smuggled in as usual . Following the map, he found a villa at the edge of Maple Leaf . It was a safe house that Dark Net had bought with a fake account and identity . The contact would be waiting inside .

The villa had three floors . The door was made from gray glazed wood and had exquisite carvings . Han Xiao grabbed the door knocker and thumped to the rhythm of their secret code . The door opened with a squeak, and an old female butler who had more wrinkles than an expired orange invited him in with a plain face .

After entering the house, the old woman, whose true identity was a long-term resident contact, closed the door and said, "Both guests are waiting in the basement . "

Han Xiao nodded . He opened the hidden door in the cabinet beside the staircase and walked down to the basement . It was not as dark as he had imagined it to be; it was bright and surrounded by metal walls . Many pieces of equipment and firearms lay around . There was also a specially designed lathe and a material case at the corner .

The two contacts were waiting at the meeting table in the middle . They both looked toward Han Xian . His face was changed back to Black Phantom, so he was recognized .

Of the two contacts, one was Golden Fox, and the other was a young man .

Golden Fox hesitated and said, "Black Phantom?"

Han Xiao's eyes brightened . He laughed and said, "Oh, it's you . I've seen you before . You seem to have become prettier . "

Golden Fox was frightened . She touched her face and said in her head, Please don't be interested in me, I beg you!

The other contact was a young man in his twenties . His code name in the Blood Pact Society was 'Ghost Blade' . He was a scorpion—lowest rank—and a new member who had only joined recently . He was staring at Han Xiao with judgement and slight doubt .

Ghost Blade had been trained as an agent in Raylen, but he had escaped before graduation . Having been trained in an agent training organization, he naturally always felt a sense of superiority toward these underground killers . He had joined the Blood Pact Society around the same time Han Xiao did, but Han Xiao was already a legend in the organization while he was still struggling in the scorpion grade . So, he had always been unconvinced .

In terms of experience, Han Xiao actually did not have much of it, but he became the ace of Blood Pact Society with his strength and Bennett backing him up . There were a small group of proud contract killers who were unconvinced—most of them had other successful experiences before they turned to become a killer . Despite the results of these battles were written clearly, there would still be people who were in doubt unless they saw it themselves .


"I heard about your battles . They say you're a legend, but it seems like there's nothing special," Ghost Blade said with a plain face .

Han Xiao glanced at Ghost Blade but could not be bothered with him .

Golden Fox cut in hurriedly and started talking about the main topic . "Ahem! There are five targets: Harry Reymen, Sennin Miller, Billy Angus, Dick Van Vancity, Dorasi Farami . They are all government officials who opposed the plan . There are guards around them when they're out and where they live . "



With a glance to Ghost Blade, he snorted, took out a map, and laid it out on the meeting table . "This is the terrain map of the target's villa . The guarding power and the patrolling routes of police nearby are also marked out . "

The data was very detailed . Ghost Blade's ability to collect intelligence was the textbook example that strictly followed the training booklet of Raylen . He had collected almost every detail there was in this mission . With the secret knowledge he had as an agent, Golden Fox did not need to help at all when he was gathering the data . It made him feel superior to these killers . After all, he was a pro, and amateurs were on a different level .

Ghost Blade peeked at Han Xiao . He was confident that such detailed intelligence would surprise the Black Phantom, but Han Xiao kept a straight face as if it was a common occurrence to him .

With a frown, Ghost Blade said in a deep voice, "I have designed an action plan for you . You see these red lines and marks? These are the action routes I have planned out . As long as you keep to my plan and don't make any mistakes, you will definitely succeed . I'm assuming you understand what I wrote here . These are special symbols used by agents . If you don't understand them, I can explain for you .

"No need, I will look at it myself . " Han Xiao knocked the table while reading through the intelligence carefully . He then asked, "What is the exact mission?"

"To place these documents into the targets' homes, somewhere obvious that ensures the target sees them . Inside, there are some pieces of evidence that have the ability to cause them harm . As long as they realize that we can put these in their house without anyone noticing, they will know they are not safe . This will act as a threat but not cross the line," Golden Fox said .

"I will be infiltrating . What will you guys do?"

"I am only responsible for providing intelligence . Carrying out the mission is your mission as an ace, so don't think about seeking my help," Ghost Blade snorted .

Golden Fox gave Ghost Blade a stare, before saying in a pleasing tone to Han Xiao, "If you need me to back you up, I can do it . "



"Never mind, there's no need for that . " Han Xiao waved his hands . "It's a pretty easy mission . I can do it alone . "

"It is indeed easy when you follow my plan . " Ghost Blade nodded lightly . He had actually left out some intelligence in the data . It would not affect the mission, but it would give the person carrying out the mission some slight challenges . He wanted to test out Black Phantom . Although the latter was an ace of the organization, unless he could pass the test, Ghost Blade would still maintain a cold attitude toward Black Phantom .

However, Han Xiao looked at the plan and shook his head . "The plan is too complicated . I will do it my way . "

Ghost Blade was unhappy . "This plan was made from my careful and precise research of all the intelligence we have, and you came up with a better one within a few minutes of looking at it?"

"This mission is not challenging at all for me," Han Xiao said .

Quit messing around! Ghost Blade snorted with anger and walked away . He was very discontent that Black Phantom did not follow his plan . He was a professional, and his plan was perfect; Black Phantom had no idea of what he was looking at .

There will definitely be accidents if he doesn't follow my plan, Ghost Blade thought . He had some dark thoughts, and he even wanted to gloat at Black Phantom's failure . To him, not following his plan was basically screwing around . Black Phantom had better have meant what he said . If he ends up using my plan, I will only look down on him .

Han Xiao looked at his watch . "I will act tonight . You guys just have to wait . "

The two contacts were not involved in the field action, and Han Xiao did not need a supporting intelligence crew . Since it was just Han Xiao acting alone, there was no need for a headset .



"He's only just arrived, and he is already going to act . How impulsive . " Ghost Blade shook his head . He felt this mission was most likely going to fail .

Not listening to suggestions from professionals would almost always result in failure .

…

Night arrived in no time, but clouds covered the moon . Han Xiao had changed into a black outfit . He hid whatever he was not going to need in the safehouse . Then he made sure the circuits were working and reset the password to prevent anyone from opening it . He brought along the necessary equipment and left .

At night, the streets of Maple were quite . The night wind blew past the trees and made a calming sound as fragrance from the gardens at the side of the street filled the air . There were few pedestrians on the street . In fact, those pedestrians were mostly patrolling police, which hinted at the high-pressure policies within the country and the security not being as peaceful as it looked .

Han Xiao walked past quiet streets one after another and arrived at the political area of the city . Patrols on the street became more frequent, so he hid in the shadow of an alley, observed the situation, and waited patiently .

About ten minutes later, a patrolling police officer walked toward him .

'This is B3248 . We are clear," he said into the walkie talkie and walked toward the alley entrance . Then, he unconsciously looked into the dark alley .

A pair of arms reached out suddenly and dragged him into darkness . His yelling only lasted a mere second before it stopped .

One minute later, Han Xiao changed into the police uniform with the walkie talkie at the side of his waist . His face had changed completely—the skin mask had scanned the policeman's face and imitated it perfectly .
