"Our agents seemed to have spotted Dragon Country agents on the street, but when they tried to follow them, they found the targets had already disappeared. To avoid alerting the enemy, our agents didn’t pursue further."
In Kaelmes’ office, Griffin reported the situation that his agents had encountered.
"I didn’t expect Dragon Country agents to still be here. It seems they are dissatisfied with what happened previously."
Kaelmes smiled slightly, not realizing that everything was unfolding just as he had hoped.
"We’ve been targeted by Dragon Country agents, and you still manage to laugh."
Griffin, who had just received his subordinates’ report, looked as if he’d bitten into a dead child. Known worldwide for the fearsome reputation of Dragon Country agents, Griffin couldn’t fathom why Kaelmes had any reason to be amused.
"This is exactly the result I wanted. Don’t forget, our target is Lin Beichen."
Upon hearing the name Lin Beichen, the look on Griffin’s face instantly changed, showing anger as if hearing the name of the mortal enemy responsible for an undying grudge.
"How could I forget? If it weren’t for that bastard Lin Beichen, I wouldn’t be in this situation."
Griffin said through gritted teeth, almost using up all his strength in uttering each word.
"So, to deal with Lin Beichen, we must start with these Dragon Country agents."
A faint smile crossed Kaelmes’ lips, a familiar gesture that Griffin recognized as Kaelmes’ signature move when he had a plan or was about to take action.
Seeing the expression on Kaelmes’ face, Griffin also smiled with joy. The name Lin Beichen had almost become Griffin’s nightmare, one he pondered even in his dreams about how to defeat.
But every time Griffin suggested making a move against Lin Beichen, he was stopped by Kaelmes, who would always say it wasn’t the right time.
Now that Kaelmes had brought it up himself, it meant Lin Beichen had stepped into the trap set by him.
"After what’s happened, no matter what Dragon Country thinks, if I were their top agent, I would definitely assign people to ensure Lin Beichen’s safety. Am I right?"
Kaelmes was fine in every aspect except for his excessive arrogance.
However, Griffin had come to understand this about Kaelmes, so no matter what idea Kaelmes proposed, Griffin would always be the first to show support.
It was because Griffin had a firm grasp of Kaelmes’ psychology that Kaelmes was willing to spare Griffin’s life when issues arose.
"You’re absolutely right, Mr. Kaelmes."
Griffin spoke while showing a thumbs-up, and the flattering gesture made Kaelmes feel exceedingly gratified.
"So under these circumstances, and given that we’re on Dragon Country’s turf, killing Lin Beichen is almost impossible. What we need to do now is lure him out, draw Lin Beichen out of his so-called safe zone!"
As he spoke, Kaelmes adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses.
"And the Dragon Country agents hiding in Atlantis will be the bait to lure him out!"
Even a fool could now understand Kaelmes’ intention, let alone Griffin, who was shrewd beyond measure.
Understanding Kaelmes’ plan, Griffin burst out laughing, as if he could already see the scene of Lin Beichen bleeding out.
"With Mr. Kaelmes’ help, I’m sure I can get my revenge!"
Griffin declared with determination in his voice.
Meanwhile, Scar had no idea he was already targeted by Kaelmes and his team. He was still hiding his tracks while making his way to the rendezvous point.
To the agents in charge of overall surveillance in Atlantis, Scar’s behavior seemed somewhat ridiculous, yet they had to admit that every move Scar made was precise and without unnecessary actions.
"If we hadn’t set up our deployment in advance, capturing these Dragon Country agents’ traces wouldn’t have been easy."
One of the surveillance agents said to his partner, pointing at Scar on the monitor as he spoke.
"See that? Each of his actions is so precise and without any extraneous movement. If only our operatives had such skills, Mr. Griffin wouldn’t be in this difficult position."
"You’re right. This individual is indeed the most formidable I’ve encountered in my surveillance career."
The other surveillance agent nodded, his eyes filled with respect as he watched Scar through the monitor, even though Scar was the enemy.
Suddenly, the first agent seemed to have thought of something, and his expression grew serious. Having worked together for a long time since entering the field, his partner immediately sensed he had something on his mind.
"Go ahead, there are no outsiders here. Even Mr. Griffin hasn’t left any monitoring devices."
