Chapter 87

Mardine picked up the drink beside him and slowly took a sip.

Cowell picked up the phone.

In an instant, Cowell's expression changed.

"Is the information accurate?"

"Alright, I understand. Keep an eye on their movements!"

After giving the instruction, Cowell hung up the phone, his expression becoming tense.

"The people below discovered that the Central Guard Regiment has made contact with Aphrodite."

"Huh?!"

Mardine's eyes widened, "They actually found that bitch!"

"The information is definitely correct. Someone has seen her with their own eyes. Will she betray us?"

After a long silence, Mardine did not give a clear answer.

But it was clear that this contact between the two sides had made him a bit anxious.

Aphrodite's thoughts were too deep, and Mardine found it hard to guess what she was thinking.

But one thing was certain: their contact, regardless of the outcome, could only be bad for him, not good.

"Alright, continue the investigation." Mardine said,

"Especially on Aphrodite's side. If that woman betrays us, take action and get rid of her!"

"Understood, boss."

Cowell left, and Mardine lit a cigarette, shouting into the room,

"Hurry up, I need to discuss something with you."

"Alright, don't be in a rush, buddy."

After another ten minutes, the voices in the room quieted down.

Soon, a man in shorts, bare-chested, walked out with a bottle of vodka in his hand.

The man's name was Joyce, and he and Mardine were trained in the same batch.

To seize the information in Lin Yi's hands, they were sent over.

Although Joyce's strength was slightly inferior to Mardine's, he excelled in strategy.

The plan from its implementation to now was handled by him.

The mastermind behind the scenes mentioned by Lin Yi was none other than him.

Their cooperation could be described as seamless.

If it weren't for the information in Aphrodite's hands, the two sides wouldn't have chosen to cooperate.

"Bro, what do you want to tell me?"

"There are two things." Mardine said,

"This time, Group One did not land on the island, but Group Three did."

"They didn't go at all..."

Joyce thought for a few seconds and said,

"I guess something held them back, or they are investigating us. But I did a clean job, even if he is a distinguished leader of the Central Guard Regiment, he won't find anything."

"That's not important. What's important is that the Central Guard Regiment has made contact with Aphrodite."

"Are you worried she might expose our plan?"

"There's a possibility. She's a hard person to figure out." Mardine said.

"Don't be so pessimistic, bro. It might be for other reasons."

Joyce took a sip of his drink and said nonchalantly,

"The plan was made by both sides. In this matter, she also has responsibility. She won't expose these things, or she'll be asking for death."

After hearing Joyce's words, Mardine's expression improved.

"We need to discuss our next move." Mardine said,

"Since Group One didn't land on the island, we don't have to be so cautious. We can finish the job on the island first."

"Although we're not afraid of the Central Guard Regiment, if a conflict breaks out, others will take advantage." Joyce said,

"In the Middle East incident, only our three organizations were directly involved. Although the Central Guard Regiment has no evidence, we are still the suspects."

"So, you agree to continue landing on the island, right?"

"But I think we should set our sights elsewhere."

Mardine looked at Joyce, "What do you mean?"

"Actually, I've been investigating Aphrodite's movements recently and found that she left Zhonghai only a few days ago, which is a bit strange." Joyce said,

"Staying in the Central Guard Regiment's territory for so long without a reason is unusual and worth our attention."

"You mean she stayed in Zhonghai all this time because she had something else to do?"

"Yes, and I've also heard some news recently. The Central Guard Regiment has developed something good, a device that can enhance the user's combat ability."

"Does that mean the Central Guard Regiment has started researching drugs?"

"Not experimental drugs, but a device that stimulates the body to unlock potential. It's much safer to use than drugs and has no side effects, it's perfect."

"Do you want to get that device?"

Mardine looked at Joyce and said calmly,

"Such a valuable thing will be kept secret. If you want to get it, it's easier to think about how to kill Lin Yi."

"How could I do such a thing? Stealing from the Central Guard Regiment isn't easy."

"So, what's your idea?"

"There's someone I'm very interested in. Her name is Chen Zhiyi, and she's the leader of Group Seven of the Central Guard Regiment."

"This is a high-risk move. We need to discuss whether it's worth it."

Mardine, though a bit reckless, was only compared to Lin Yi.

Compared to others, he was at an average level, otherwise, he wouldn't have been a key figure in the Blood Bull Club's training program.

In his view, stealing from the Central Guard Regiment was an extremely difficult task, almost impossible to succeed.

It was no different from suicide.

"Even though I don't know the benefits, I know that as long as we get the thing, we won't lose."

"Why are you so sure?"

Joyce's expression was somewhat mysterious.

"Because I suspect that after the operation, Aphrodite didn't leave because of this thing!"

Joyce's words made Mardine think.

"Given the current situation, the only thing that could interest Aphrodite is this. We should also take action. If she gets it, this operation will be for nothing."

"I know." Joyce shrugged, "If we return empty-handed, the Regent will definitely be angry, but we can't rush it."

"You want to wait longer?"

"Yes, and we must wait." Joyce said,

"The Middle East incident has made God's Armed Forces, Gongyuanhui, and us all suspects. So the Central Guard Regiment will definitely strengthen their defenses. Aphrodite's actions will also be more difficult. For now, we just need to keep an eye on her. There's no need to show ourselves."

Mardine shrugged, "I don't think it's a good idea. We'll be too passive and be led by that woman."

"Don't worry, bro, it's not as you think,"

Joyce said with a smile,

"I've already made a plan. Once the time is right, we can act."
