385 War Part 1 (1/2)

On their way towards the target location, Shin and was currently explaining the new plan that Nathan had instructed them. ”From what Uncle had said, the other side seems to be aware of our movements now. It seems that we got another mole on our side.”

He paused for a moment before continuing. ”Though, Uncle is now using that mole in our advantage.”

”So, what is the plan now?” asked Jillian while checking her makeup on a mirror.

Shin gave her a sidelong glance before answering. ”Big Sis and her group are most likely going to be targeted later – they may even get ambush before they can reach the location.”

”But Uncle already predicted that. So, he draws a plan where Big Sis and her group are going to be a diversion while we are the ones to sneak in the party instead.”

Hearing that, Leonard suddenly asked. ”Isn't it quite risky for us? We don't know the level of security on that party.”

”It is fine. Given that the other side is probably aware that Big Sis is in the other group, I am pretty sure that Uncle is confident that those guys are going to send the 'Junior Lion King' to ambush her group,” answered Shin with a deep tone.

Then the expression that he was having suddenly turned solemn as he thought to himself. 'I just hope that the other side is not going to send their young agents along with the ambushing group.'

While Shin was in the middle of his thoughts, a familiar voice suddenly sounded inside his head. ”Looks like we are on the same page.”

Shin was suddenly taken aback when he heard that. 'This voice! Senior Brother!'

Shin immediately turned his head left and right, trying to find the owner of the voice. He even tried spreading his Mental Energy secretly while looking. But regardless, he still couldn't find David no matter how hard he tried.

Jillian and Molton felt flowing Mental Energy in the air, so they immediately turned heir heads at Shin and looked what he was up to. But after seeing that he was just scanning their surroundings, they thought that he was only doing that for safety purposes and quickly ignored it.

While Shin was looking, the voice suddenly sounded inside his head once again, saying. ”Don't bother looking, you will never be able to find me given that current strength of yours.”

Hearing that, Shin immediately retrieved his Mental Energy before talking inside his head. 'Alright, alright. So, why are you here? Are you the so-called backup?'

”Well, you put it that way since my task is to ensure all of your safety,” replied David.

Shin thought for a moment before asking. 'So, what do you think about this current situation? You are quite familiar at dealing with underworld organizations, right? Do you have anything to suggest?'

Hearing that reply, Shin suddenly fell into a deep thought. And after a moment he suddenly asked. 'But what if we are safe in the first place?'

David suddenly raised one of his eyebrows the moment he heard that and asked. ”What do you mean?”

'Your sudden appearance and you sticking around me, keep on bugging me for a while now. But I am not going to ask you about that since I can tell that you have your own reasons,' replied Shin while putting his hands together before resting his chin on it.

David raised his eyebrows even further when he heard those words. He was about to say something but Shin immediately opened his mouth first before he did. 'Putting that aside, I am sure that you have your own means to get out in any kind of troublesome situations given that you are too confident at provoking a lot of underworld organizations – despite you being all alone.'

Hearing all of that, David couldn't help but wear a bitter smile on his lips before saying. ”I don't like where this is going.”

'I am not asking much, just a way to ensure the success of the two groups that we have. I know that Uncle made some preparations, but there are still some things that keep on making me uncomfortable in this mission,' asked Shin.

David didn't immediately give his reply as he didn't want accidents to happen at Shin; especially that he was going to be in great trouble if ever something unpleasant happened to this troublesome smart guy.

Thinking about his outcome if something happened to Shin, David rejected the idea of replying to him. But when he started to feel very uncomfortable with the silence that Shin was making, he immediately gave in the pressure and cursed to himself. ”D*mn it! You are really their son for giving such pressure despite not saying anything!”
