"Thank you all for your hard work."

Fang Cheng restrained his intimidating aura, skipping unnecessary introductions and going straight to the point.

"The main goal of our Illuminati operation tonight is to rescue the hostage."

He took out a folded A4 paper from his pocket and handed it to the nearest Professor, signaling everyone to pass it around:

"Shen Wei, the current Chairman of the East City Association, sixty-two years old, characterized by graying hair, a gaunt face, and a missing segment on his left ring finger."

"Currently, he is on the Roof Terrace of the Silver Wing Building in Jiangdong New District."

"The people who kidnapped him are the ’Bloodthorn’ Mercenary Corps."

Upon hearing this name, Old Chen, Fei Ying, and Eagle Eye’s pupils slightly contracted, clearly having heard of the infamous reputation of this group of lunatics.

Fang Cheng acted oblivious, his speech rapid yet exceptionally clear:

"The opposing core combat force consists of four people."

"Black Mamba, a B-Class mutant, slender and tall with dark skin. His abilities are Invisibility and Super Speed, and he often wields a pair of poison-laced Daggers. He is a tricky assassin."

While speaking, Fang Cheng turned his gaze to the young man playing with the Butterfly Knife:

"Fei Ying, you’re exceptionally fast. During the battle, I want you to focus solely on him. Use every means necessary to keep him occupied and prevent him from ambushing others."

The Butterfly Knife in Fei Ying’s hand abruptly paused, and a smirk appeared on his lips:

"Don’t worry, Chairman. Competing in speed? I’ve never lost. Even if he can turn invisible, I’ll still pull out his fangs."

Fang Cheng didn’t comment and continued introducing the Bloodthorn members’ profiles:

"Fire Dragon, an Eastern European, characterized by red hair and green eyes, with an estimated strength of B-Class."

"He’s a pyromaniac, able to control high-temperature flames with explosive power, but his endurance is mediocre, and he’s not good at close combat, often hiding behind teammates."

This time, his gaze fell on Eagle Eye:

"Power users of the mage type care most about attack range."

"If a battle ensues, Eagle Eye, you need to lock onto the target immediately and suppress him with firepower. Don’t give him a chance to chant spells and set fires."

Eagle Eye didn’t speak, just nodded slightly while holding the violin case in his arms, acknowledging his response.

Fang Cheng then looked toward the middle-aged man with a slightly pained expression:

"Old Chen, you have Super Sensing Hearing and are skilled at pinpointing sounds."

"You’ll handle support within the team, confirming enemy positions during the fight, making preemptive warnings, and working with Fei Ying and Eagle Eye for Fixed Point Kills."

Old Chen nodded solemnly and replied:

"Understood."

"Next, there’s a special member."

Fang Cheng’s eyes then shifted to the burly man who was even taller than himself:

"This person is codenamed Big Bear, a 2.3-meter-tall muscle-bound monster. He seems intellectually challenged but has exceptionally strong combat power."

"Not only is he incredibly strong and impervious to weapons, but he also has a cannibalistic habit. Extremely dangerous, currently rated as A+ Level."

"Fatty Hu, you need to handle this tough opponent. You don’t have to kill him, just withstand his frontal assault to buy time for others."

Fatty Hu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his eyes showing both apprehension towards a formidable enemy and a hint of excitement at meeting a worthy opponent:

"An A+ Level giant... Alright! I also want to see whether his skin is tougher or my fists."

Fang Cheng paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone’s faces, his tone becoming even more serious:

"Finally, there’s their leader, codenamed ’Masked Guest.’ This person wears a clown mask year-round, their appearance unknown, abilities unclear."

"But based on the intelligence I’ve gathered, he possesses at least Spiritual Enchantment and Manipulation abilities, able to influence people’s minds through words."

"Professor, Xiao Ya, I’ll handle this person, but the two of you must be extra cautious and ready."

"If I need you to counteract the influence of his negative consciousness, I’ll issue instructions at any time."

The mission objectives and enemy information were introduced, and the alley fell into a brief silence.

Everyone seemed to be contemplating, quickly digesting this crucial information.

Fatty Hu and Fei Ying exchanged glances, quite surprised.

Although they had just entered the field not long ago, they also understood the importance of intelligence work before any operation.

Regarding an International Mercenary Corps like ’Bloodthorn,’ which had secretive movements, even the official Special Search Team often couldn’t trace them.

Yet this young Chairman knew exactly how many there were, what their specific abilities were, even their weaknesses.

Could it be that the Illuminati had already built such a terrifying intelligence network upon its establishment?

Fang Cheng did not explain further.

This intelligence was naturally bought for a hefty sum of five million from ’Naihe Bridge.’

The Illuminati was newly established, and it still had a thin foundation in all aspects, so any problem that could be solved with money was minor.

As the Chairman, he would never let his subordinates risk the unknown to get killed.

And this operation’s detailed arrangements were not only to showcase his command capabilities but also to provide new members an opportunity to express their personalities and witness their strengths firsthand.

"Apart from the four core members, the Bloodthorn Mercenary Corps secretly controls a small group named ’Flying Crane Gang,’ with their Main Hall located on the top floor of Silver Wing Building,"

After a moment of silence, Fang Cheng continued:

"Therefore, this operation also requires clearing out a lot of small fry."

"Now, the tactical arrangements are as follows."

He then lifted his wrist to check the time, issuing instructions quickly:

"Professor, you and Xiao Ya guard the first-floor lobby and underground garage exit of the building, prevent any fish from slipping through, and contact via earpiece immediately if anything arises."
