After they reached the base, they got the full details of the case from Benedict.
The real mission was about to begin.
The video call ended.
Benedict sat in a chair with his legs crossed, spinning slowly with a little smile on his lips. Nobody knew what he was thinking.

Wesley leaned against the wall with his arms crossed. Seeing Benedict’s strange expression, he let out a sigh. “Benedict, don’t tell me you’re cooking up another bad idea.”
“What are you talking about? Wesley, please give me some respect. I’m doing this for Cethend’s future. How can you call it a bad idea?
“Are you really okay letting so much talent in Comet Squad slip away?”
“I … of course I’m not okay with it. But they want total freedom. What can I do?”
“If something goes wrong, we can’t take the me. Once they officially be a national task force, with the right ess, they’ll be able to use the country’s info servers!”
For once, Wesley’s baby face showed a troubled look.
<i>I’d </i><i>rather </i><i>just </i><i>stay </i><i>up </i><i>all </i><i>night </i>coding.
At least coding was easier at his age.
It was still less of a headache than dealing with Comet Squad.
“You’re worried they might betray the country, so you n to block that risk by refusing their demand. That makes sense,” Benedict said.
“But think the other way. If a squad this powerful ends up under another country, they’ll be our worst enemy.
“After the Hotel Morloss mission, Endralsia already knows Queen led her squad. They’ll definitely try to recruit them.
“And not just Endralsia. Other nations will soon learn about Comet Squad and use all kinds of tricks.
“In the end, we’re still betting on this squad’s loyalty to the country, aren’t we?”

Chapter 402 Bad Idea
Benedict flipped through Comet Squad’s profiles.
He tapped Tilda’s photo lightly with his finger.
Wesley tugged at his hair in frustration.
“This isn’t even my job. I’m just a coder and manager.
“You shoved this on me … damn it! You must’ve already nned how to deal with Comet Squad, right?”

“Don’t be silly. I haven’t decided. This squad is stronger than even us brothers. If we slip up, the damage will be beyond repair.
“That’s why I set up this trial. Wesley, you need to give them the Rosales Foundation’s intel. Have them finish the mission within a single day.”
Wesley froze.
<i>The </i><i>Rosales </i><i>Foundation’s </i><i>intel</i><i>? </i>
<i>Isn’t </i><i>that</i>…
They locked eyes. In that moment, Wesley seemed to understand.

got it.”
…
When Tilda and her squad returned to their base in Slosa, they powered up all the systems and got ready.
They messaged Benedict.
Soon after, a file arrived.
With Benedict’s words—“It’s officially started“—Tilda quickly uploaded the file to the maihputer and shared it with the team.
Astrid skimmed it and muttered, “The Rosales Foundation in Burg … they fight human trafficking and save women and kids. From this file, nothing looks off.”
“Don’t let your guard down,” Tilda said. “Thest human trafficking ring we busted also pretended to be a charity caring for seniors.
“Underground groups often hide behind legal fronts, sometimes even charities. That’s why hackers like us exist–to dig for the truth.”

Chapter 402 Bad idea
“Sure!”
The squad jumped into work with sharp focus.
Finished
After half a year of training, growth, and teamwork–and after their big win at Hotel Morloss- Comet Squad now moved with perfect rhythm. <fn5cb4> Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n FιndＮovel</fn5cb4>
They barely needed words to know what to do next.
In just three hours, they cracked into the Rosales Foundation’s database.
Tilda checked the time. It was 8:00 p.m.
If they wrapped this up, she could finally take the squad out for dinner.
But Alfie spotted something first.
“Queen, look at this.”
He sent his findings over.
Tilda took a sip of water, opened the file, and her face darkened.
“Queen, we didn’t find anything odd on our side either…
“This foundation really looks like a normal charity rescuing trafficked women and kids.
“They’re even organizing files for an international charity award.”
Jarrett and the others reported simr findings.
Tilda pressed her lips together and dug deeper.
She found out a charity in Cethend was alsopeting for the same award.

“Queen, this group doesn’t feel like a crime ring. At least, they didn’t leave a single trace of evidence on their servers.”
