[COD] Newbie's Rise to Power

But this time you didn't listen to him. Instead, you covered your mouth with your hand, chewed a few times, and swallowed what was in your mouth.

You take the bowl he's holding up and say to him, "Thank you, I can do it myself, you can eat too."

Keegan sits across from you, poking his fork into a dumpling, then reaching for the hot sauce.

After he finishes eating a dumpling, you look at him expectantly.

"It may not look very appealing, but it tastes pretty good, right?"

Keegan nodded, then sighed, "Turns out, making delicious food is no easier than a training session."

You laughed and said, "Both of these depend on experience; you'll get better with more practice."

Suddenly, you paused, then... revealed a gentler smile, and whispered:

"Keegan, he really is watching us..."

You are sitting facing the window, and you notice with keen observation that the curtains that were originally hanging down naturally have been slightly lifted at some point.

"Relax, Kid."

Keegan remained calm and forked another dumpling into his mouth.

You also lowered your head, picked up another dumpling, and put it in your mouth.

Just as you were engrossed in chewing, Keegan reached for a tissue, pulled it out, and held it out to you...

I wiped it on the corner of your mouth.

You smiled at him and whispered, "Keegan, the target is no longer being watched."

But inwardly, I thought to myself: Besides, I didn't even get any soup on my lips, isn't your performance a bit too deliberate, bro!

Keegan naturally withdrew his hand, a slight smile playing on his lips:

"Sorry, it's my fault for not having eyes in the back of my head."

You rest your chin on your hand: "So...do we've dispelled his suspicions?"

Keegan shook his head: "Not sure."

Then he stood up, walked to the window, and drew the curtains.

"We need to keep this in mind until he reveals any signs of his involvement."

After you've eaten and drunk your fill, you and Keegan go about your own business until night falls.

Keegan finished showering first, urged you to come into the room, and then lay down on the sofa.

In order to avoid being exposed, you must rest under the same roof, but this house only has one bedroom and one living room, and the only room was given to you by Mr. Keegan.

However, the bathroom is not in the room, so you have to take a shower outside before you can go back to your room to sleep.

Fortunately, when you left the room with your pajamas, Keegan had already turned off the living room lights, leaving only the bathroom with light.

You walk into the bathroom, but suddenly pause when you face the mirror.

Your image is clearly reflected in the mirror, as are your face and the trace of flour residue on it.

Since it's still on your face, doesn't that mean you spent most of the day with this mark on your face?!

And he didn't even remind you! He didn't even bother to wipe away the non-existent stains from the corners of your mouth, let alone wipe away the flour!

You suddenly feel as if you've sensed a bit of Keegan's mischievous and wicked sense of humor. Is it just your imagination?

never mind...

You tried to suppress the strange feeling in your heart, and after taking a shower, you quickly went back to your room and lay down on the big bed.

You chatted with Blizzard and the others on your phone for a while, then gradually drifted off to sleep...

So, for the next few days, you continued to play the role of a loving 'couple'.

Until... Emmen received a phone call.

At the police station, after hanging up the phone, the injured man, Codd, handed his phone to the officer standing to the side, who was holding a gun and ready to fire at any moment.

They won't actually fire a shot; it's just to intimidate Cod and prevent him from saying anything that might expose him.

It turns out that after a successful transaction, Codd and his associates would hide for a few days with the money, waiting until the police were less vigilant and less searching before contacting their contact and handing over the money.

Just now, Codd called Aimen to ask where Aimen was hiding the money.

After taking the phone, the officer patted Codd on the shoulder: "Thank you for your cooperation, sir."

They don't mind giving prisoners who are willing to cooperate a few pleasantries.

Then, the police arranged for someone to prepare the money and place it at the location designated by Aimen.

They weren't concerned about the money; it was money brought in by the buyers anyway, and they could use it as bait.

The bait must be thrown out, otherwise we can't hook Aimen, this little fish, and then lead them to the location of the big fish.

On your side, immediately report after Aimen leaves, reminding your teammates who are hiding at the location where the money was placed.

Then, you and Keegan took the prepared items and went out.

"This is a migratory bird; the target has appeared nearby."

The sound of migratory birds came through my headphones.

Because the local police officers' faces are highly visible, you will be responsible for all personnel actions throughout the entire process.

Keegan: "Migrant, keep a close eye on the target. Report in a timely manner which direction he leaves after taking the money."

Migratory bird: "Yes, sir, keep the target under observation from a distance."

About ten minutes later, the sound came through the headphones again.

Migratory Bird: "Report, the target took the money bag and left on foot in the southwest direction."

The migratory bird reported promptly, its tone slightly hurried.

Keegan's voice was calm: "I understand."

Then, you who were standing in the alley immediately moved quickly to the southwest.

You only stopped when you saw Aimen walking towards you from not far away.

You glanced at Keegan, and after he nodded, you immediately walked out of the alley.

"You bastard, I will never forgive you!"

You shouted, your voice trembling as if it were about to break.

Then, you raise your hand to shield your eyes and quickly run past Aimen.

The familiar voice made Aimen turn around and look at your departing figure.

At that moment, Keegan also ran out of the alley and bumped right into Eman!

Beneath Keegan's loose clothing lay a strong physique. Eman was so struck by the powerful impact that he staggered and fell to the ground with a thud, his sports bag slipping from his hand.

Keegan quickly picked up his sports bag from the ground and then reached out to Eman.

"I'm sorry, sir, I didn't mean it. My wife and I had a disagreement."

After pulling Eimon up, Keegan immediately shoved the sports bag back into Eimon's hands.

After a few more apologies to Aimen, he hurriedly chased after you in the direction you had run off to.

As Aimon watched Keegan's departing figure, he patted the dust off his backside and let out a low curse.

"basbelasi! (Troublemaker!)"

After checking his gym bag, he continued on his way.

Meanwhile, you wait in a nearby alley until Keegan comes over, then immediately ask him.

"How was it, Keegan? Did you succeed?"

Chapter 93: The Ghosts Are Coming

Keegan nodded: "I glued it into the fold of the gym bag."

It refers to a miniature locator.

The locator can track that bag of money and help you pinpoint the location of the ringleader.

However, if it were installed on the sports bag from the beginning, Emmen would have discovered it with a careful inspection, which would have exposed that you had already caught those transport personnel, and even exposed that you were monitoring him!

To be on the safe side, the only option is not to install it at the beginning, and then you and Keegan can 'tamper' with it halfway through.

The reason you've been making yourself known and putting on a show for Aimen all this time is to reduce his suspicion of you, to make him think that what just happened was just an accident, and that he won't check carefully because he's in a hurry to get on his way.

You give Keegan a thumbs up: "Impressive, it's stuck in the folds, so even if he checks, it'll be hard to find."

In just a few seconds, you can find the crease and attach the locator, while also avoiding Aimen's attention and pulling Aimen up. Isn't that amazing?

The miniature locator is tiny and black, just like a sports bag, making it difficult to spot when stuck in a hidden crease, unless a detection instrument is used.

However, detectors typically make their judgments by detecting signals, radio frequencies, and metals.

Since the locator you prepared is not made of metal, as long as the signal is cut off after it stabilizes, the locator will be put into hibernation and become ineffective, making it very difficult to detect.

Keegan subtly raised his chin slightly in response to your praise, his voice tinged with pleasure:

“That’s not difficult, Kid.”

You nod and sigh: "You guys are all so amazing. I want to be that awesome and professional in the future!"

Whether it's Keegan, Ghost, or even Wang Zhiqiang and Koenig, they all seem to know a lot. You are trying to observe and learn, intending to absorb and learn from their strengths.

Upon hearing this, Keegan offered encouragement: "Having goals is a good thing, keep striving for them."

He was wearing a simple tracksuit, a mask, and a baseball cap, a very casual and everyday outfit.

But as soon as those words were spoken, you could still sense a hint of leadership coming through.

"Let's go back and wait for news."

You proposed it.

I feel very unsafe standing here chatting, I'd better go back first.

Your mission is now complete. You've been away for several days, so it's a good time to go back and meet your teammates, and wait for the results.
