Aren’t you politicians? Aren’t you synonymous with treachery and conspiracy? If you want to play dirty tricks, then let’s see whose tricks and conspiracies are more powerful.
Mu Lin only had one thing to do here—wait. Wait for the other side to make their move. When he bid farewell to the Queen and the Prime Minister yesterday, he clearly told them he had given them only one night to act. Therefore, the other side only had tonight to pull off whatever scheme they had planned.
He was genuinely curious to see what kind of tricks they could pull off, though according to his estimation, it wouldn’t be anything too grand.
Since arriving in this Western world, in country U, the short history had meant he hadn’t encountered any particularly formidable opponents yet.
In France, the “Satanic Journey” was merely a branch office. He hadn’t had much time to dig into their background, and besides, the people they had sent were only a few individuals with special abilities—hardly more than minor henchmen. Once he finished dealing with the current situation here, he would make time to go find some members of the Satanic Journey to play with. He wanted to see what kind of high-level individuals this old and established organization had, so he wouldn’t get too bored.
After dinner, Mu Lin arranged for the servants to return to their respective rooms in the side building and gave strict orders that no matter what strange noises they heard tonight, they were not to come out. Mu Lin knew these were all local ordinary people, and the Y government wouldn’t bother with them.
Mu Lin knew that unless Y’s government was completely ready to break with U’s government openly, disregarding their own reputation and the power of global public opinion, they wouldn’t dare to act during the daytime. After all, he was just the owner of a small private clinic, completely unrelated to national security or any major issues—merely a trivial nuisance in the eyes of the big shots, not worth such a heavy price. Besides, there was an opposition party openly watching like a hawk ready to pounce on the ruling party’s position. Therefore, they were safe during the day.
At night, however, under the cover of darkness, some evil deeds could be carried out. But those actions wouldn’t be large-scale. After all, this was still the so-called affluent residential area. If their actions were too conspicuous, it could cause panic among the residents. If the wealthy residents evacuated en masse, it would deal a fatal blow to Y’s economy. Therefore, any action they took would have to be small-scale.
Mu Lin believed that based on their previous investigations of him, these people wouldn’t send out their most powerful assets. Therefore, tonight he only planned to set up a few small formations to play around with them. After all, this was their home turf, developed over hundreds of years—it was impossible for them to have nothing good to offer. So he didn’t plan to engage in a major confrontation with them here.
Once dawn arrived, the U.S. ambassador to Y would come to pick him up and escort him onto the plane. Once he returned to U, it would be his domain. There, he could leisurely play with them.
The poison he had placed on the two noblewomen was a slow-acting one, its effects kicking in only after he had left. This slow-acting poison would damage the nerves, and their condition would gradually deteriorate, just like what happened to Waas. At that point, it would be his time to settle accounts with them.
Since he didn’t want the other side to discover his true capabilities this time either, he called Xiaolaipi over, preparing to have him do the work. Mu Lin spoke to Xiaolaipi in a gentle tone:
“Xiaolaipi, it seems I’ll have to trouble you this time. Look, the other side has already started sending people to monitor us. If I go out, it will definitely raise their suspicions. Therefore, only you can go out without drawing attention!”
“Tsk! Monitoring? What’s the big deal about that? You’re not afraid of them, are you? If you want to slack off, just say so!” Xiaolaipi said disdainfully.
“Sigh! Could you think with that head of yours? On this tiny island, I can’t even fly on my sword right now. If things escalate, their entire country’s experts will come after us. You can hide in your special ability space for a while, but as for me, aside from jumping into the sea, where else could I run? Besides, we don’t even know who their powerful figures are. If you want to fight them head-on, go ahead, but don’t drag me into it and get me killed. My swimming skills aren’t that great!” Mu Lin joked while scolding.
Xiaolaipi smiled but didn’t say anything. Mu Lin continued, “Therefore, I want you to set up two formations outside the house we’re staying in. Just make sure we remain unharmed.
You need to bury the jade talismans in specific directions. This is the Hunyuan Formation. First, set this one up, and then bury the jade talismans in these other spots to form the Mihun Formation. With the Mihun Formation outside and the Hunyuan Formation inside, it should waste their entire night.
Tomorrow morning, you can retrieve the jade talismans, and everything will be fine. No matter how hard these foreigners think about it, they won’t figure out what happened. By the time they do, ha ha! We’ll already be home. Then we can play with them properly.”
Mu Lin said mischievously. After all, he was still underage, and still had the restless nature of youth.
After Xiaolaipi stored the jade talismans in his spatial pocket, he went out through the main gate and buried them properly, then returned to Mu Lin’s room and began meditating together with him.
When it was deep into the night, Mu Lin ended his meditation and stood up. His mental senses had already detected that the other side had begun their move. Surprisingly, they had sent in elite military troops. Mu Lin had originally thought they would at most send in armed special police—so-called SWAT teams—but he hadn’t expected these two women to be so petty and furious that they would actually deploy elite military forces. It seemed they were determined to pay any price for a decisive strike.
A group of soldiers in urban camouflage uniforms, wearing lightweight military gear belts and carrying SA80 rifles, poured out of several buses and quickly surrounded Mu Lin’s villa. From their uniforms and insignias, Mu Lin could tell they were Y’s legendary “Royal Green Berets.”
The Royal Marines’ 3rd Commando Brigade of Y, famously known as the “Green Berets,” was a renowned special forces unit and a backbone of Y’s rapid reaction forces. Particularly, their Special Boat Service (SBS) was famous among peers, known as the “Invisible Demons.”
Mu Lin couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. Fortunately, he had set up the two formations in advance. The Mihun Formation controlled the surrounding ground space, while the Hunyuan Formation was a composite formation controlling both ground and air. Otherwise, if the enemy had simply broken through from the air, he would have been caught completely off guard.
