Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife: The Twins Are Not Yours!

Chapter 247: Long Night XI

"Wait!!" Athena whisper-yelled, snatching the little glass bottle from Aiden as they squatted just outside the location that belonged to the gang.

Metal barbed wires ringed the surrounding of the house, which appeared to be nothing more than a bungalow. However, Susan, whom Athena had briefed about their raid only minutes ago, had mentioned an underground bunker as well.

"What is the matter? You just said it was potent enough!" Aiden exclaimed, his voice mirroring Athena’s urgent tone.

Behind them stood agents clad in black combat uniforms, just like theirs, all masked and ready.

Ewan was among them, having insisted on joining the mission, leaving Zane and Sandro in the van to communicate with Spider and keep watch for any unusual activity, ensuring the other vehicles remained intact.

After all, they would need an clean escape after this.

At that moment, Athena began shaking the glass bottle vigorously. "Here, you can have it now," She said when she was done, handing the bottle to Aiden. "I forgot to shake it. You know how to use it, right?"

Aiden nodded quickly before turning his attention to the barbed wires with his metal cutter.

"Aiden, be careful," Athena mouthed sharply as he finished cutting a section and slipped through into the compound. This wasn’t their first mission, after all.

Aiden gave her a sharp nod, donned his mask and colored glasses in case there was a booby trap waiting for him, and then started moving, hunched low and quick. He only had five to seven minutes to commit this deed, and time was already against them.

"Do you think the helicopter will be making the drop tonight?" Ewan asked as they all waited for Aiden’s signal. During the drive here, Aiden had filled him in on everything they knew about the gang, on Athena’s approval, albeit grudgingly.

Athena shrugged her shoulders. "It doesn’t matter. We made plans for that, just in case."

Ewan nodded slowly, scanning their surroundings on this black night. The only source of light came from a solitary pole in the yard, but it was sufficient for the highly trained agents to operate without attracting unnecessary attention. They needed their operation to be as sleek as possible.

"So, who do you think is supporting the gang? Someone in the government? Was that why you met with the president?"

Athena turned to face Ewan fully, pleased that the darkness surrounded them almost entirely—she couldn’t see his expression, and neither could he decipher hers.
