The woman’s movements were strange.


    Despite being a soldier, she lacked confidence in her steps. Beneath her rigid expression, clear fear showed through.


    The way she constantly glanced over her shoulder was enough to make me suspicious.


    She could be bait.


    In sudden standoff situations like this, it wasn’t uncommon for the Chinese to send expendable people ahead to gather information on their opponents.


    Her unremarkable appearance only reinforced my theory.


    Ignore the woman.@@@@


    Treat her like another drone.


    One drone was already hovering overhead, likely watching to see if anyone left the factory.


    Which meant my opponents weren’t alone.


    I remained silent, waiting on the third-floor window as the woman approached the building.


    There was only one room here—a reception area that doubled as the factory owner’s office.


    Soon, she knocked on the door.


    “It’s... locked.”


    She spoke again.


    “It won’t open. Something’s blocking it. Huh? No, I’m serious, it won’t open. Come check it yourself! What am I supposed to do? I can’t do anything about it!”


    Her voice grew increasingly desperate, almost tearful.


    She was being forced into this.


    I didn’t know by who, but I’d find out soon enough.


    “No, listen! You hear that? I’m really trying!”


    As her shrill voice rang through the room, something flashed in the reflection.


    I inhaled sharply and held my breath as I switched my rifle to semi-automatic mode.
