It waste at night.


    Charlie parked his car in a roadside space before vanishing into the depths of the alley.


    The Zhou Manor is situated at a bend in a U-shaped river, nestled at the inner curve of the U. This unique positioning means that the manor is not only at the road’s end but also encircled by water on three sides.


    Recently, Charlie had remotely instructed Abbas to utilize advanced technology and close-in defense artillery to eliminate Jian Gongbo in Cyprus. Aware that he wouldn’t be trusted tonight, he opted to approach the Zhou residence cautiously, choosing the embankment on the opposite side of the river as his route.


    Under the cover of darkness, Charlie moved stealthily, concealing his presence while continuously tapping into his spiritual energy to assess the surroundings. When he was less than a kilometer away from Zhou’s house in a straight line, he paused and amplified his spiritual energy to probe the area within a few hundred meters of the manor.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Before long, he detected several members of the Rothschild family hiding around Zhou’s manor. Some were concealed within vehicles, others nestled along the river embankments, and a few even perched on tree branches. Additionally, a speedboat moored by the river had individuals concealed on board as well.<fn3e7f> Th?s chapter is updated by Find1Novel</fn3e7f>


    As Charlie continued his reconnaissance, he soon noticed a vi adjacent to Zhou’s manor. From the outside, the vi appeared almost innocuous, yet it housed around forty to fifty people inside, which struck him as highly unusual.


    Charlie quickly deduced that this vi likely served as a stronghold for the Rothschild family, with the core members likely gathered there at that moment.


    He then meticulously surveyed the entire vi’s situation.


    He spotted several snipers stationed on the roof, armed withrge-caliber anti-material sniper rifles. Though their firing rate couldn’t match that of close-in defense artillery, the impact of a single shot was nearly as formidable.


    Moreover, various detection devices were installed on the vi’s roof, monitoring not only the Zhou family manor but the entire vicinity.


    Charlie understood that bypassing such professional surveince equipment was impossible; detection would expose him immediately.


    Thus, devising a quiet way to infiltrate the vi became his foremost concern.


    As Charlie contemted his next move, an idea suddenly sparked in his mind.


    Meanwhile, in the vi adjacent to Zhou’s manor, Steve Rothschild stood by the curtains in a tightly secured room, closely monitoring every movement through a series of screens.


    The visuals disyed in ck and white: dark outlines represented buildings, roads, and trees, while lighter shades depicted various figures, predominantly human forms, with a few resembling birds or small animals.


    The white figures represented the Rothschild family’s operatives lying in wait throughout the Zhou estate.


    Each of these figures was marked with a green dot, thanks to the friend-or-foe identification system that Hank had developed.


    This system utilized thermal imaging to detect individuals within its range. Each person wore an identification device that ryed their location to a cloud server in real time. By cross-referencing this data with thermal images, the system could urately identify the individuals.


    If a person’s identity and location matched, the system would indicate them with a green dot, distinguishing allies from foes.


    Conversely, if someone entered the monitored area without authorization and their identity couldn’t be verified, the system would mark them with a red dot and trigger an rm to alert everyone present.
