Chapter 997 Catching Up
historical
"We're done here." Melinda came to Theo, informing him that they had eliminated all the enemies and got all the things needed to convince the rest of the group.
"Good. Let's go. We don't have much time left." Theo nodded with a serious expression and asked, "How's about our casualties?"
"Two died and seven were heavily injured. The rest can still move."
"We will leave some of them behind. The rest will go with us to a deep area." Theo nodded with a serious expression. "Tell that to Brad."
"Got it." Melinda understood and immediately left him.
Meanwhile, Theo took another look at the group's condition before formulating some plans in his mind. As expected, it would be hard to fight against so many monsters at once due to that General Class Monster.
After that, they immediately set off to the deeper area, catching up with the rest of the Starry Group.
Once they saw the members of the Starry Group, they knew they were near. However, they couldn't stop yet because they needed to meet the other Mythical Rank Experts to get the upper hand.
It took them ten minutes at full speed to finally reach the rest of the Starry Group.
Obviously, their action confused everyone because they carried a few heads and corpses, making those who saw them wonder what had happened on the back.
As soon as Brad saw the other Mythical Rank Expert, he shouted, "We need to talk."
The 110 years old man turned around while furrowing his eyebrows. "Brad? What are you doing here? Your time hasn't come yet."
"Talk less and follow me. I need you to believe me right now and catch up with the rest of the people from the Lowe Organization. I will explain everything on the way, but if you are still confused, just look at those.." Brad pointed at the heads and bodies they carried.
"!!!" The old man widened his eyes as he recognized one of them. He was the Mythical Rank Expert they were supposed to kill. "Did you get ambushed?"
Since Brad didn't pay attention to him, the old man used his fastest speed to catch up to Brad while asking, "Can you explain what's going on?"
"We were ambushed, the army was attacked.. Hence, we need to do something to turn the situation around.. According to our speculation, the enemies have at least five Mythical Rank Experts in total. That's why we need to hurry or we can't turn around the situation." Brad explained while squinting his eyes. "Besides, there are questions that the Lowe Organization needs to answer."
"What do you want me to do with the rest of the members?"
"I want you to lead half of the Supreme Rank Experts to the surface. Use your gas masks too, since they are using poisonous gas."
"I understand. What's about the timing? What are you going to do?"
"We are going to dig a hole and launch a surprise attack to decrease our casualties. As for the timing, you should attack them thirty minutes from now and not tell them about our plans.. We need to make the enemies think you have no more reinforcement to lower the enemies' guards. Of course, I won't let you suffer for too long since we can't afford to lose many agents. Ten minutes.. Just wait for ten minutes."
".." The old man thought for a moment and nodded. "Okay. Leave it to me. I should be able to rally around forty people.."
"That's good enough."
"Are you going to meet the advanced party?"
"Yeah."
"Good luck." The old man nodded after confirming his intention. Then, he stopped in his tracks, turning around.
Meanwhile, Brad, Theo, and the others continued to meet the rest of the Mythical Rank Experts from the Lowe Organization.
But as Theo expected, the advanced party was fighting against the MAR Organization. It was obvious that the Mythical Rank Expert from their side came here to buy more time.
However, the moment Brad appeared, he immediately overwhelmed the enemy with the sheer number since Brad brought the other Mythical Rank Experts from the Lowe Organization when reinforcing the advanced party.
The enemies couldn't withstand their power at all to the point the battle was settled within five minutes.
"What are you doing here, Brad? It's good that your plan worked, but your actions could endanger our lives." The old man that led the Lowe Organization complained while raising his tone.
"Cut the bullshit. The reason I did all this was.." Brad waved his hand and threw the corpses to the ground.
"Wait.. That's.." They recognized the Mythical Rank Expert from the MAR Organization. So, it was clear they were ambushed from behind.
"This is a trap devised by the MAR Organization and another one.. I'm asking you because you're more knowledgeable about the local situation. Do you happen to know a man called Ama Bamapana and Ground Snake?"
"What?!" The old man opened his eyes wide, never expecting to hear those names from Brad. "S Rank Criminal Ama Bamapana and A Rank Criminal Ground Snake. They're from a terrorist group hiding in Western Australia.. How do you know their names?"
"They devised this plan to eliminate all of us and create a huge discord between the three of us.." Brad explained what Theo told him. Even though Theo didn't want to admit it, Brad's words were more trustable than his, so it was best for him to handle the negotiation.
"Seriously? If they eliminated us here.." The old man suddenly fell silent before his face turned pale as he was able to imagine the future scene. After getting silent for a minute, the old man opened his mouth. "It must be Ama Bamapana's scheme. His blessing comes from a Trickster God. No one can come up with something like this other than him.
"As for their organization, they're called Red Mouse. Ama Bamapana is their strategist. If we can kill him, we can cripple the Red Mouse and eliminate their remaining members." The old man explained.
"Great. Now that I have confirmed their identities, I need you to follow my plan. This is your fault for getting tricked by them after all.. For now, I will explain the situation first." Brad started telling the information that Theo had told him previously to convince the rest of them while taking the leadership of this operation to amass the achievement.
