Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

"I already know what happened. Your organization is really ruthless. They actually used such a method to obtain that gold. But then again, five hundred kilograms of gold is an unimaginable fortune for any power. They will never give it up."

"Your black-clad organization will defend it at all costs, and the other side will naturally search for it at all costs."

Vermouth lit a cigarette, took only one puff, and held it in her hand.

"Therefore, this operation will inevitably be extremely brutal. If you weren't by my side, I would probably be in great danger, since there are many formidable figures among those people."

A hint of fighting spirit also appeared in Miyazaki Yu's eyes.

"Being able to confront the world's top underground organization is a rare experience, and of course I wouldn't refuse."

Gratitude appeared in Vermouth's eyes. As a good partner, it was her duty to tell everyone about all the dangers.

This time, the danger is far greater than when they were in America, after all, that time they were caught off guard and their target was just one person.

With proper planning, killing him is still achievable.

But this time, they are facing a powerful criminal organization that can suppress the Black Organization. Moreover, this time they are here for revenge, and they will stop at nothing and use every possible means to strike down the Black Organization!

The dangers involved were obvious, but the young man agreed without the slightest hesitation, and this was certainly not some nonsense about wanting to see for himself.

The real reason is that it was Vermouth's request!

"It seems I hold a certain weight in this kid's heart. Perhaps I can reward him when the time is right. I know that hot-blooded young people are most susceptible to temptation."

As she spoke, she casually licked her lips, revealing a hint of alluring wickedness.

Chapter 172 The Attacked Organization's Research Institute (3rd Update)

In the darkness of night, stars hung low over the vast plains, and the water shimmered. A deep rumble came from the horizon, and a dozen speedboats appeared on the distant water.

In just a short while, the speedboats stopped at a bend in the river.

A burly figure, using a military telescope, was peering at a building not far away, a sinister smile playing on his lips.

"Boss, is this our target for today? It looks pretty ordinary."

A short, middle-aged man chuckled from the side. He looked thin, but he exuded a chilling aura, like a venomous snake that had just emerged from its hole.

Moreover, incongruous with his physique, he was carrying a dark object in his hand. Only with the help of the faint moonlight could one make out that what he was holding was a heavy machine gun, which looked to weigh several tens of kilograms.

But in his hands, it was held casually and easily, as if it were something he was used to.

A closer look at the people on the speedboats revealed that they were all heavily armed militants, each carrying more than one weapon.

Even these things are extremely rare in the armies of various countries, but these people seem to have them in abundance.

The combined firepower of these dozens of men is more powerful than that of a regular company.

Under the moonlight, the dark, heavy barrels of these guns exuded a chilling aura.

"Don't underestimate this place. The Black Organization is able to fight against the organization we serve, so its strength should not be underestimated. The more ordinary a place seems, the more careful you should be, otherwise you may lose your life."

The short man chuckled, "Big brother, we're strongmen who survived those brutal battlefields. Unless those crows use black water, how could they possibly be a match for us? Clearing this place out would be a heavy blow to those crows, wouldn't it?"

The burly man chuckled, "It is indeed a heavy blow. Rumor has it that these guys have spent hundreds of billions of dollars on drug development over the past few decades, and have developed many drugs with special effects. But according to rumors, these are just byproducts of their research. Nobody knows what their ultimate goal is."

Over the years, the confrontation between the two organizations has continued, but due to mutual restraint and fear of governments around the world, it has not gone too far. Both sides tend to reach a point of no return and do not fight to the death.

But this time was different. It involved half a ton of gold, an astonishing fortune. But that wasn't all. Hidden within the gold was a special document, its value no less than the gold itself!

The short man was somewhat surprised: "Data? What data is so valuable that it's comparable to half a ton of gold?"

"You little rascal, all you care about is money. You don't realize that sometimes the value of information actually surpasses that of money."

Since you want to know, I'll tell you. It's a special list of information, which includes the names of the organization's spies who have been sent out and are lurking in the Black Organization, as well as the names of the Black Organization's agents who have infiltrated government agencies, and the secret files of more than a dozen American congressmen.

"What?" The short man couldn't help but swallow hard.

This is truly a deadly thing!

"No wonder the organization went to such lengths, not only mobilizing us but also bringing in some powerful figures to participate in this operation!"

The burly man nodded: "That's right. The organization has made up its mind to teach these crows a very profound lesson. Only the heaviest blows and sanctions can make these mudfish that like to hide in the shadows feel the taste of terror."

Reports came through the headsets, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen squads were in position, as were more than a dozen snipers.

As the report drew to a close, the burly man revealed a slight smile.

"On my orders, the operation is now underway. First, second, third, and fourth squads, follow the pre-planned route and begin eliminating the sentries. Fifth squad, begin hacking into their network, delaying their alarm and surveillance systems for at least five minutes!"

Outside the high walls in the darkness, several people dressed in what appeared to be security guard uniforms were lying on the rooftops, their bodies partially camouflaged, secretly observing their surroundings. From the outside, the surroundings looked like ordinary rooftops, with no one in sight.

But no one would have guessed that there were actually many eyes watching the slightest movement around them.

They would report on the situation around them every twenty minutes; they were the unseen sentries of the entire research institute.

The so-called sentries not only carry out security tasks covertly, but their positions are also not fixed. Every time a security operation is carried out, the cadres in the organization will randomly assign the positions of the sentries, so their positions are extremely well hidden.

"Report: Eleventh surveillance session complete, no findings!"

A voice came through the walkie-talkie: "Very good, continue the surveillance mission without the slightest slackening!"

After the sentry answered, he turned off the walkie-talkie. But just as he turned it off, a figure suddenly lunged at him. The sentry's heart pounded. Someone had broken in!

He tried to dodge, but his opponent was prepared. Just as he was about to roll away, a sharp dagger pierced his neck. He tried to shout for help, but his mouth was covered by a large hand wearing a black glove.

"Don't struggle anymore, your friends will be joining you soon!"

Because almost simultaneously, the hidden sentries disguised and hiding on several other rooftops were also eliminated one by one.

Clearly, these people knew the location of the sentries very well; otherwise, if even one was missed, the other side would have sent a signal, alerting the research institute.

Upon hearing the reports from the four squads, the burly man in charge of the operation immediately issued new orders.

"Immediately plant bombs in key locations. Squads six, seven, eight, and nine, begin the attack immediately! I'm going to raze this place to the ground!"

Just as he gave the order, a burst of intense gunfire suddenly rang out.

"Hmm? So I was finally found out? In that case, there's no need to pretend anymore!"

"Let's begin the attack!"

At this moment, alarms were blaring throughout the research institute, and terrifying gunshots rang out from all directions, sending chills down everyone's spines.

"What's going on? How on earth happened? Our security is so tight, how could we have been breached so silently! Organize a counterattack immediately!"

The security personnel at the research institute looked anxious.

Although this is not the organization's most important research site, it is still extremely important, especially since research data for new drugs is stored here. If something goes wrong here, I will be unforgivable!

"What happened?" a deep voice asked, and a look of joy appeared on the security officer's face.

"Great! I almost forgot, you're still at the research institute. Someone has attacked it; please lend a hand!"

Chapter 173 Shiho Miyano's Fear

"Hmph!" The newcomer snorted heavily.

"What a waste. The research institute has extremely tight security, yet someone managed to attack its interior before it was discovered. Clearly, someone has already hacked into the security system's network. The surveillance footage we are seeing now is probably from just a few minutes ago."

What you need to do now is not panic and beg me for help, but immediately send people to regain control of the network, and then organize a counterattack in the best possible way!

Under the intruder's chilling gaze, the security officer's expression changed drastically. After agreeing, he immediately began to carry out the operation as instructed.

The newcomer gave a disdainful snort and headed down the stairs. Along the way, security guards patrolled every corridor. Even at this moment, they showed no panic, clearly well-trained elites.

As this man walked past each place, the security guards around him would salute him, and he would nod slightly and continue walking inside.

Each time he passed through a gate, there was a completely different identification method, which identified his fingerprints, irises, and a special decoder.

In this way, he passed through three gates and entered the most core research area.

At this time, the researchers in the core research area were unaware of the impending danger and were still carrying out their research activities in an orderly manner.

"We need to record the research data in detail. At this stage, the more detailed and meticulous the research data, the more likely we are to find a breakthrough. The gene data reports for the two animal experiments completed last week also need to be completed this week!"

A tall, slender girl with short, light brown hair was giving instructions to her subordinates.

The girl's tone was unhurried yet carried an undeniable sense of authority. Indeed, despite her young age, she was the undisputed authority figure in the research institute.

Because the drug being researched here was initiated by her, and her research on drugs is the most in-depth. Under her leadership, the entire drug research has made great progress and has received great attention from the important figures in the organization.

Therefore, even though she is still very young, she is enough to make all the proud and arrogant researchers willingly follow her instructions.

"Shirley, you're really great. Although we haven't met many times, your abilities are still admirable."

The girl, who was giving orders with composure, turned serious upon hearing this voice. She struggled to suppress her emotions and regain her composure.

"It's you. This is the core research area; it shouldn't be a place for you."

The newcomer chuckled, a slight smile on his face.

"Don't be so distant, Sherry. We're all working for the organization, even if we do it in different ways. That shouldn't affect our friendship."

This girl is none other than Sherry, also known as Shiho Miyano.

This is the organization's secret research base. Her position is very special. The entire drug development plan is under her supervision. However, she cannot gain complete trust within the organization and is constantly under its surveillance.

This distrust is not due to anything else, but is a continuation, a continuation of the distrust that existed from her parents.

Shiho Miyano's relationship with the organization has always been ambiguous. She is a top scientist who grew up under the organization's tutelage, but she is also deeply feared by the organization. She inherited her parents' outstanding wisdom, but she is also suspected because of her parents.

After all, the story of her parents' supposed death in an accidental fire was shrouded in mystery, and it would be strange if a brilliant person with a top-notch mind didn't have doubts.

Because of this, the organization doesn't trust her, and she doesn't trust the organization either. They only maintain a superficial relationship. In this research institute, she is both the chief researcher and a prisoner under surveillance.

Her every move was under close surveillance by the organization, and naturally, she was filled with bitterness.

"We're hardly close, and there's no friendship between us whatsoever!"

The girl snorted coldly and said without any politeness that the person in front of her had a mysterious background and had been in this secret base for a long time. However, he had always kept a low profile and rarely showed himself in public.

However, this person's abilities were extremely strong, and he seemed to have an extraordinary understanding of the drugs he was researching. The information revealed in their few conversations had caught her very attention.

The man didn't seem to care and simply shook his head slightly.

"That's such a pity. I always thought we were friends. It seems I was just being presumptuous. After all, you are one of the most intelligent people in the organization. Your arrogance always flows out unintentionally. In that case, I will just have to completely destroy your arrogance."

As he spoke, amidst the girl's incredulous expression, he suddenly pulled a dark pistol from his pocket. Instantly, the black muzzle was pointed at the completely stunned Shiho Miyano, and without hesitation, he pulled the trigger!

The bullet, trailing a faint flame, grazed the girl's cheek in an instant, and she could even feel the intense heat emanating from it!

Her brown hair was instantly swept up, revealing a horrified expression on the girl's face!
