Late at night, Charlie parked his car in a roadside parking space and disappeared into the depths of the alley.

Cole Family Manor stood proudly at the bend of a U-shaped river, nestled within the inner curve of the U. This unique positioning not only placed the manor at the end of the road but also encased it on three sides with the protection of the flowing waters.

Not too long ago, Charlie gave remote orders to Wesley. They employed advanced technology and close-range defense artillery to eliminate Jarvis Delgado in Cyprus. Consequently, he was fully aware that his credibility would be in doubt tonight. Therefore, he didn’t rush over to Cole’s house. Instead, he opted to approach it from the opposite side of the river, using the embankment.

In the cover of darkness, Charlie moved with the grace of a shadow, his presence carefully concealed. He meticulously scanned his surroundings, extending his reiki in a continuous sweep. When he found himself less than a kilometer away from the Cole house, he halted, releasing a surge of reiki to investigate the area within a few hundred meters of the estate.

It didn’t take long for him to discover several members of the Rothschild family lurking around the Cole family manor. Some hid within cars, others along the riverbank, and a few even found refuge in the sheltering branches of trees. To make matters worse, a speedboat was moored by the river, concealing additional individuals on board.

Charlie continued his exploration, quickly spotting a neighboring villa adjacent to the Cole family manor. From the outside, the villa appeared dimly lit, but Charlie suspected that it held forty to fifty people within its walls, an unusually large number.

Without a doubt, this villa served as the Rothschild family’s stronghold in the area, housing their core members.

Charlie meticulously assessed the situation within the villa. On its rooftop, he spotted several snipers armed with high-caliber anti-materiel sniper rifles. While lacking the formidable firepower of anti-aircraft guns, these rifles possessed enough single-shot force to cause considerable damage.

Furthermore, the rooftop brimmed with a multitude of surveillance devices, not only monitoring the Cole family manor but also maintaining a watchful eye on the entire villa.

Charlie understood the gravity of the situation. He couldn’t afford to be detected by these professional surveillance devices, as exposure would spell disaster.

The most pressing challenge for Charlie lay in devising a plan to infiltrate the villa unnoticed, without raising any alarms.

Just as Charlie pondered his next move, a method of approach flashed through his mind.
