Nathan waited for his words to sink inside their heads before giving them a specialized advance watches that he prepared. ”For this entire operation, I need you to disregard your current advance watches and use these ones for now.”

”These watches have some special functions which are only available for the military purposes. At the same time, these things also have a specialized channel where we can communicate without being tracked or detected by the opposing side.”

”All of the things that you need to know are written on the manuals so I don't have to discuss it. And as for Lorraine, Jillian and Molton – if you guys have some questions how to use them properly, you can ask the other four since they are already familiar with using them.”

When everyone got their respective advance watches, Arthur suddenly noticed that the advance watches on Shin, Leonard, Jillian and Angela hands had a slightly different design compared to others. ”Hey! Why are your advance watches have a cooler design than us? That is unfair!”

Hearing that, Nathan immediately answered. ”It is because they are the ones who are going to sneak in the party.”

”Huh~?” blurted Arthur while looking at Nathan with a confused expression on his face.

Seeing that look, Nathan suddenly smirked and said. ”As I said, we are only going to make some adjustments with our plan and not entirely change it.”

The moment Arthur heard that, he immediately voiced out a complaint while pointing to himself. ”What? If that is the case, isn't it better if I become one of the spies instead? I am perfect for that role!”

Shin, Leonard, Jillian and Lorraine simultaneously slapped their heads the moment they heard those words. It was as if they were saying. – ”Perfect my *ss! If it is you, then you will surely attract a lot of attention since you are a showoff!” –

Nathan was thinking the same. Though, he made his 'excuse' a little more acceptable to reason out Arthur. ”We need to act low-key on this operation so we can't involve you with a sneaking group. After all, your identity as the young master of the Springfield Family is quite known for the other people in our circle – as well as the others.”

”One the other hand, Angela and Leonard are still pretty unknown in the circle so they are a safe bet. Meanwhile, Shin and Jillian are quite skilled at disguising themselves with their Mentalism Techniques, so they are also fit for the role.”

After that, Nathan ignored Arthur and looked at those four while instructing them. ”As I said, you guys will join the sneaking group on this operation, so I hope that you are going to perform well.”

”The identities that you are going to use to attend the party are already inside your respective advance watches so make sure to memorize them later to avoid some mischiefs on the operation.”

”At the same time, you also need to be paired with each other at the party so – … Angela, you will be paired with Leonard while Jillian is going to be Shin's partner. I want you guys to become comfortable with each other so that we can avoid any suspicion tomorrow night.”

”Meanwhile, the others are tasked to join the teams on standby and wait for the signal to attack.”

The moment those words left Nathan's mouth, a pair of complaining voices immediately sounded.

”What!?”

”Wait!?”

Hearing that, Nathan quickly threw a fierce glare at Arthur and Lorraine which sent a sudden chill on their backs. ”What? Any objections?”

Seeing that Nathan was starting to get annoyed, Arthur and Lorraine immediately sat back on their seats while replying simultaneously. ”No, Sir!”

Though, both of them were actually cursing Shin and Angela inside.

While the two were still fuming, Shin suddenly asked a crucial question. ”Who will be the captain of this operation, Sir?”

Hearing that, the whole suddenly turned quiet as the others simultaneously looked at Nathan, waiting for his answer.

Seeing that anticipation on their faces, Nathan couldn't help but feel teasing them a little with some 'suspense'. ”What? Captain Bernard still hasn't told you who he chose to lead this operation? If that is that is the case, then you guys better go now and join the mission exercises where you can meet your captain.”

Hearing those words and seeing that expression that Nathan was making, Shin and Arthur suddenly struck dumb as they could already get some hints.

At this point, Leonard was already shaking his head as he could already guess what they were thinking. It was similar for Lorraine, who was already giving the pair a pitying looked on her face. And this sight made the other three, looked at them with confusion as they were clueless at the current situation.

After that, Nathan immediately added. ”Alright, you are all dismissed but make sure to do your homework later.”

Then he left the room, leaving the group behind. And when the door finally closed behind him, Shin and Arthur suddenly turned their heads at each other while simultaneously saying.

”Not again.”

”No way!”
