He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 23 Grant Ward Gets Tortured

Grant had memorized the information of all the security guards in the community in advance, but Li Chuan's subordinates were no less capable; they had also memorized the information of all the residents in the community before taking up their posts as security guards today.

Any stranger entering the community will be closely monitored by Li Chuan's men, especially strangers who enter the community at night or approach Li Chuan's room.

Even if it's just a deliveryman standing at the door of Li Chuan's house during the day, from different angles, there will be at least three sniper rifles aimed at his head.

Just now, two security guards saw a car that wasn't listed in the resident information appear at the entrance of the community. They immediately became alert and pretended to be dozing off while secretly observing the car owner and the vehicle.

"Roger that. Team one, proceed to the parking lot for surveillance. Sniper number two, prepare!"

Upon hearing the alert from the walkie-talkie, Li San quickly located the Chevrolet that was about to arrive at the parking lot using the surveillance equipment throughout the community.

Entering the community at this time, and not even being a permanent resident, is very suspicious.

"Should we notify the boss?"

"A subordinate next to me asked."

Li San shook his head:

"Not for now. It hasn't been confirmed that they are enemies yet. They could just be friends or relatives of one of the residents in the community."

After saying that, he thought for a moment and then pressed the intercom button again:

"One group, take note: if the target is the boss's building number eight, then take him down and question him beforehand."

Regarding the boss's safety, his thinking was that it was better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free. If the other party tried to enter the boss's building number eight, it could pose a threat to the boss's safety.

At that time, regardless of whether they were relatives or friends of residents in the community, the priority was to secure the property first.

If the investigation later reveals a mistake, then an apology and a little extra money will suffice.

"Groups two and three are ready to provide support at any time. Sniper number two, if the enemy resists fiercely, take them out immediately."

"receive!"

A series of crisp replies came through the walkie-talkie.

Grant, who had just parked the car, was getting out with a large suitcase when suddenly his hair stood on end and a very bad feeling welled up inside him.

Years of experience as a secret agent infiltrator told him that he was being monitored, and might even have been targeted by a sniper.

"This Li Chuan is definitely not simple!"

Grant paused only briefly before continuing on his way as if nothing had happened, his outward appearance showing no sign of anything amiss—his acting skills were truly Oscar-worthy.

Now he understood perfectly well that the two security guards he had just seen were definitely Li Chuan's bodyguards in disguise, and the person secretly monitoring and targeting him was also Li Chuan's bodyguard.

Such meticulous and cautious protection is rare even among the world's top billionaires.

"Luckily, I was prepared in advance."

As a top agent, Grant is able to complete his missions perfectly every time, and he is also quite meticulous.

After noticing something was wrong, he didn't go to the building where Li Chuan lived. Instead, he went to the building next door, took the elevator to the top floor, took out his key, opened the door, and went into a room.

This is the apartment of a single working woman who lives alone. She's quite open-minded and likes to go to bars. She often brings men home for sex. Today, she was secretly taken advantage of by Grant after get off work, who then stole her keys.

However, he knew that he had to act quickly, because if the other party was cautious enough, they would soon discover the problem.

"Third brother, he went into Building 9, 25th floor, Lady Gallia's apartment."

Upon hearing the report from the walkie-talkie, Li San frowned, quickly recalling information about Letili in his mind, and then muttered to himself:

"Could it be someone who had a relationship with Lady Lily coming to see her tonight?"

After thinking for a moment, he instructed his subordinates:

"Quickly, get me the surveillance footage for today and see if Lady has come back since she left this morning."

"It will take two minutes."

The subordinate entered Lady's face into the computer, then imported a day's worth of surveillance footage from the neighborhood, and quickly scanned it using the intelligent system.

If it were up to people to watch, even with fast-forwarding, it would take several hours to review a day's worth of surveillance footage. However, Li Chuan was well aware of the power of technology and equipped his bodyguard team with the most expensive and advanced equipment.

About two minutes later, the subordinate reported to the leader:

"Lady left the neighborhood at 8:30 this morning and hasn't returned since."

"Damn it! Team one, immediately enter the house and apprehend the target! Teams two and three, go upstairs to provide support, and try to capture him alive. All snipers, prepare to fire! If the target enters the perimeter, take him out immediately!"

Today is Monday. Lady usually goes to bars to party from Friday to Sunday. Besides, even if she goes out to party, it's not normal for a guy to come over when she's not here.

With so many doubts, there's no need to consider anything further.

However, to prevent gunshots from causing unnecessary trouble, it's best not to use guns unless it's particularly dangerous; this was something the boss specifically instructed us to do beforehand.

Li Chuan felt that if the gun incident escalated, it would affect Wanda's normal life.

Of course, if the other party has already entered the cordon and is beginning to pose a threat to Wanda's safety, then there's no need to worry about so much; just shoot them dead.

"So soon? Looks like we'll have to retreat today!"

Grant, who had changed into a night suit and was preparing to use a rope gun to pin down Building 8 across the street, and then quietly slide over to take Li Chuan away, heard the sound of the door being banged on and sighed inwardly.

He thought it would take the other person at least half an hour to react, but it only took two minutes.

Even if he manages to kidnap the target now, it's impossible to take them out of the community under such tight protection. He can only retreat for now and try again next time.

He turned the rope gun and fired it at the building on the left that was closer to the outside of the community. After securing it, he turned to face the two community security guards who had broken down the door.

He needs to deal with these two security guards to escape safely; otherwise, he'll be laughing his head off if the line gets cut halfway through his slide.

With his skills, he could take down these two guys in two seconds.

"Fuck, those two henchmen are so skilled!"

Grant covered his bruised eye, bent over and rested for a while before slinging his tool bag over his shoulder and sliding down the rope.

He did take down the two security guards, but not in two seconds, it took him thirty seconds. He was afraid that reinforcements would come from behind, so he took several hard blows before he managed to take them down with skill.

In his judgment, the two security guards' fighting skills were among the best even among S.H.I.E.L.D.'s professional action specialists, and they would be considered elites among mercenaries and bodyguards.

He slid down to the balcony of the building next door, quickly took out his rappelling device from his backpack and set it up. In less than ten seconds, he had landed down to the ground floor and turned to run towards the community wall.

Outside the wall was a street, and a car he had prepared for his retreat was parked on the side of the street.

However, when he ran to the wall, he found a man as strong as a bear, dressed in a security guard uniform, already standing there.
