All of us are one

Chapter 23 People from the Holy Union

Jiang Yanming took a closer look and found that his senior brother Kotak was wearing a black combat suit and a black mask that only revealed his eyes. He blended into the darkness and was not easy to spot.

"There's been an unexpected situation at the target location. Two unidentified individuals have entered the target's villa," Kotak said briefly. "Now you need to decide whether to continue the mission or abort it."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yanming immediately began to think.

"I've been preparing for this professor problem for far too long, even asking my father and Uncle Li for help. And today I just had afternoon tea with Arthur and Lucy..."

He thought to himself, "Only after dealing with the professor will I have more money and energy to deal with other troubles. The Witcher's problems are still waiting for me to solve, so..."

"The mission continues," Jiang Yanming announced.

"Understood." Kotak nodded slightly and continued to stealthily approach Jiang Yanming's side.

"Aren't you going to notify them?" Jiang Yanming asked, somewhat puzzled.

"If the mission continues, there's no need to notify them," Kotak explained in a low voice. "It's only necessary to notify them during a retreat."

Jiang Yanming suddenly realized, and then asked, "When will your support staff arrive?"

Kotak raised his left wrist, rolled up his sleeve, and glanced at the luminous watch on his wrist: "They'll arrive at least half an hour early, and are expected to arrive in three or four minutes."

"The electronic shielding device and the electronic pulse rockets are over there," Jiang Yanming pointed towards the bushes.

Kotak nodded: "I'll tell them when they get here."

Jiang Yanming nodded slightly, sat down, and continued to wait quietly, as did Kotak.

Hunting requires patience; a patient hunter is a qualified hunter.

……

the other side.

Inside the villa, a hundred meters away.

A young man dressed in an expensive custom-made suit sat leisurely on the sofa in the living room of the villa, slowly savoring a glass of red wine.

Several bodyguards who accompanied Professor Tarot stood behind the young man, each one standing there like an iron tower, motionless.

Professor Tarot, who had already gone to bed, washed up briefly and then came down from the second floor dressed in the formal attire he was supposed to wear to the banquet, leaning on his silver cane.

"Hello, Professor Tarot."

The young man had short gray hair, a handsome face with a smile, and dark gray eyes staring at Professor Tarot as he slowly walked over.

"You shouldn't have come here. What if you're discovered..." Professor Tarot sat down opposite the young man.

"Tsk tsk tsk!" The young man chuckled. "The reason I came here is actually quite simple, and I think you should know that."

"It's for my student, Jiang!" Professor Tarot said firmly.

"That's right." The young man nodded slightly. "This should have been a very simple task, but you still haven't solved it."

"I'll handle it, you don't need to worry about that," Professor Tarot said calmly and confidently.

"That's true, let me think..." The young man smiled knowingly. "Oh, you mean you want to use him as a test subject for the Divine Martial Kingdom to complete the experiment you've always wanted to do."

"How did you know?" Professor Tarot gripped his silver cane tightly.

"How I know isn't important," the young man smiled. "What's important is that you haven't completed the task we assigned you."

"I told you, I would do it." Professor Tarot's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Professor, don't forget..." The young man downed his wine in one gulp, his smile fading as he reminded him, "You're still alive because we helped you; otherwise, you would have died long ago."

"You cured me, I've never denied that," the professor replied calmly. "But with my connections, I might not have been unable to survive."

"That's hard to say. Everyone knows that when it comes to human modification, the Holy Alliance is the strongest." The young man smiled confidently. "Even if those rebels stole some technology and continued to study it, they still can't compare to the Holy Alliance."

"But you lost that war more than two hundred years ago," Professor Tarot reminded her calmly.

"If it weren't for the intervention of the Divine Martial Kingdom, how could our Holy Alliance have lost?" the young man scoffed. "If it weren't for the restrictions, we would have already achieved unification!"

Professor Tarot remained silent.

Having learned the truth of history and what the war was all about, he was determined to join the Holy Alliance.

Seeing this, the young man slowly stood up: "Professor, I'd like to stay here for the night. You don't mind, do you?"

Professor Tarot glanced at the bodyguards behind the man and said coldly, "Why don't you just have them prepare a guest room for you?"

"After all, you are the master and our partner, so I should at least ask for your opinion," the young man replied with a smile.

"I agree. Let them prepare a guest room for you," Professor Tarot said indifferently.

"Prepare a room for me," the young man instructed his bodyguard, then leaned down to look at Professor Tarot. "You've been given three days. If you can't complete the mission, you should know the consequences."

"I will begin the experiment tomorrow." Professor Tarot's expression was slightly gloomy.

"That's good." The young man nodded in satisfaction and turned to walk upstairs.

Professor Tarot sat on the sofa with a gloomy expression, his hands resting on the silver cane, seemingly lost in thought.

"The higher-ups are paying close attention to Professor Tarot's experiment. Won't your treatment of him cause a backlash...?"

After following the young man upstairs, the burly bodyguard, who hadn't spoken until now, asked in a low voice, "If his experiment succeeds, his status will definitely rise a lot, and he might cause you trouble then."

"Then let him find it, provided he can complete the experiment." The young man smiled contemptuously. "To deal with the warriors of the Divine Martial Kingdom, how much manpower and resources did my Holy Alliance expend, and the final result was just so-so."

"The higher-ups are paying close attention because it's been a long time since anyone has done this kind of experiment, and they're hoping it might work."

Upon hearing this, the burly bodyguard suddenly realized what was happening and decided not to bring it up again.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's only a few minutes before one o'clock in the morning.

In the woods.

The waterproof tarpaulin used to cover weapons and equipment next to the bushes was simply modified to become a closed, light-proof tent.

Inside the tent, a man and a woman dressed in black combat uniforms were adjusting the self-powered electronic shielding device.

"This electronic shielding device is really beautiful, it's a pity the employer won't sell it to us." The woman said somewhat unwillingly.

"It's normal not to buy or sell them. These military-grade electronic shielding devices have a high level of secrecy, and the consequences of leaking them would be far greater than selling electronic pulse rockets."

The man beside him urged him matter-of-factly, "Have you finished setting it up over there? The operation time is almost up."

"Almost there, all that's left is to set up the whitelist," the woman hurriedly replied. "This jammer is too powerful; if we don't set up the whitelist, we're all doomed."

"Done!" After working for almost another minute, the woman finally slammed her hand down on the laptop keyboard.

"Debugging complete!" Upon hearing this, the man immediately poked his head out to notify Kotak, who was waiting outside the tent.

Upon receiving the notification, Kotak turned to Jiang Yanming.
