Chapter 45

"There will be no negotiation."

As Panora entered the conference room, those were the first words she uttered.

"Perhaps before the operation began, but there's no reason to fall for such tricks now."

"Details of the plan?"

"I will retake Sigor Vang's headquarters in 48 hours."

"Ooh..."

Dylan's surprised voice echoed softly as he timidly followed Renock into the conference room.

"What a radical lady."

Ignoring Dylan's whisper, Renock asked again.

"Explain the available forces."

"Currently, those gathered here, plus about 100 newly hired freelancers from the company. And I plan to mobilize all the forces from our project team that can provide military support."

Hearing this, Renock's gaze naturally turned to Kilian.

If there were any project-affiliated forces that hadn't participated in the operation so far, who else could it be?

Kilian, noticing the gaze, nodded.

"It will likely be the final operation. The city council's approval must have come through, so there shouldn't be any problem with us taking the lead now."

"The key issue is what kind of tricks the gang boss is hiding. That will be the crucial point."

Panora continued.

"Considering the various business collaborations the gang has attempted recently, it's clear they don't intend to go down alone."

Deals with retired soldiers, investments from drug dealers like Paul Ackerman, mercenary agencies, and collaborations with scavengers—all of these made it obvious.

"We will begin surrounding Sigor Vang's headquarters in 36 hours, and if no unusual signs are detected, we will advance and enter 12 hours later."

After explaining the specific entry routes to the headquarters and the dispersal and assembly points for each unit, she looked around at the others in the conference room and asked.

"Any questions?"

There was no response.

Everyone in the room could sense that the success of the plan was imminent.

The success of the railway station operation and the assassination of Beck Clinton, which happened simultaneously, turned the tide in their favor.

And if it weren't for Renock's abilities, it would have been impossible to advance the success of this operation so significantly.

Everyone's gaze turned to the young mage sitting in the corner.

Renock, lost in thought for a moment, then said.

"Let's start immediately."
