Chapter: 2308
Carefully, she descended to the 6th floor, the site of the ongoing wedding.
Crouching at the emergency exit, Raegan slid her phone under the door, activating the video to discreetly record the external activity. Upon retrieving her phone, she scrutinized the footage intently. The area was devoid of guards.
Given Lorenzo's men's limited numbers, it was impossible for them to cover every exit.
Moreover, with a detonator in his grasp, Lorenzo could trigger explosives at any perceived threat, untroubled by the risks. He was undeterred by potential dangers.
Cary had mentioned that Lorenzo's allied forces were strategically hidden on the rooftop of an adjacent building, with a helicopter and four fully armed men at the ready. Those men were equipped with heavy sniper rifles, powerful enough to take down the strongest tiger or the quickest lion.
Bluntly put, sending an unprepared combat helicopter could result in its destruction and the loss of both machine and crew.
However, Lorenzo and his men harbored a great fear of Ambrosia's firepower, which was why they didn't position themselves directly above the banquet center but instead lay in wait for Lorenzo's next move.
Cary was now directing his subordinates to systematically check their hideouts. They were readying themselves to strike decisively and seal off Lorenzo's escape routes.
Raegan carefully pushed open the door, striving to be as silent as possible, and then stealthily ran to the floor's edge.
To reduce the sound of her footsteps, she discarded her shoes into a trash bin and continued in her socks, the cold floor making her shiver.
Upon reaching her intended spot, Raegan set about locating the small bomb hidden behind the fire hydrant, as laid out in the security map.
This was Raegan's first encounter with a real bomb. It was markedly different from what she had envisioned. The device was primitive, a stark contrast to the high-tech bombs portrayed on television. It resembled merely a plastic-sealed box with three differently colored wires sticking out. It clearly was a makeshift device.
This was because, under Ambrosia's tight controls on firearms and explosives, Lorenzo would not have been able to import explosives directly.
Raegan took her phone out and captured detailed photos of the bomb, also documenting the number of people on the floor.
She then cautiously moved to other locations, documenting each bomb with the same level of detail.
Lorenzo had destroyed all the monitoring equipment, fearing it could be hacked by special forces, allowing Raegan to move undetected.
Having completed her task, Raegan waited for a response.
Soon, she received a reassuring message. "You can head to the B2F parking spot. There's a small door there you can use to exit. We'll meet you at the exit. Please be very careful."
Raegan paused. “What about the explosives?"
Lorenzo's boldness stemmed primarily from his possession of the detonator. Neutralizing the explosives could give the special forces a better opportunity for a stealthy assault from below.
