Theft

At exactly 1 a.m. local time, Ivo was already prepared on top of a tree with his weapons at the ready. He stared at the Black Wolf mafia branch headquarters in front of him with a smirk. The blonde man who had obtained the mind control chipset had come to this area, and there was no doubt that he was a member of the Black Wolf mafia and that the chipset was now in this building.

“Hmm, this infiltration will be very interesting,” he muttered as he felt the cold and quiet atmosphere of the night. It was as if nature itself was giving him the support he needed to complete this mission.

Even though this was a branch headquarters, the building was quite nice and strategically located in a highland forest. In addition, security was also quite tight. There were many people armed with firearms. They did not relax their guard even though it was nighttime. 

But fortunately, all the data Ivo had collected was complete. This included the layout of the building, guard posts, weapons, and he had even estimated several possible locations where the chipset might be stored. He had estimated everything, so he should be able to complete this mission successfully.

“Huff... one more chance, Ivo. You have to finish this well,” Ivo said to himself. Then, he prepared his weapons.

He climbed down from the tree and crept towards a guard who was up in a tree. Without hesitation, he immediately shot the man with a silenced pistol, causing him to fall to the ground.

Okay, one guard had been taken out.

Next, he walked quickly to the wall and immediately climbed it. He saw two people standing guard, so Ivo waited at the top, and when they walked away, he immediately climbed down. With that, he managed to enter the headquarters area.

He was a little amazed because the wolf statues here looked very beautiful up close. However, he didn't have time to admire these statues. He walked quickly to the garden area and hid there. He tried to hold his breath, as well as the sound of his footsteps. He couldn't make a sound.

The people patrolling here were very disciplined. Every few minutes, they would move to another location to ensure everything was safe, but some stayed in one place. This made it really difficult for him to move quickly.

But that wasn't a big problem. Ivo, with his slim body, continued to sneak towards the main building. He took advantage of his black costume, which blended in with the darkness of the night, and his light, silent footsteps made his presence almost imperceptible. 

He was very experienced in infiltrations like this, so he managed to approach the main building without anyone noticing.

His heart was beating fast. “Don't make a sound, don't make a sound.” He kept encouraging himself.

And after trying very hard, he finally arrived at the room where he thought the mind control chipset might be stored.

In front of him was a high-tech white door. This must be the place because, of all the places here, Ivo really suspected this one. In addition, the signal from the mind control chipset was getting stronger. So there was no mistake, this was indeed the place.

“Huff... I'll finish this in 80 seconds,” he said when he saw this high-tech door. He took out his gadget and began hacking the door system.

Ivo's gaze was focused on his gadget, his hands moving quickly to type in several codes to hack the door system. But at the same time, he heard an explosion coming from the western part of the headquarters. It seemed like there was chaos in the headquarters, and he had to hurry to open this door.

Click.

Ivo sighed deeply when he managed to open the door. There was a safe that stored the chipset. Without wasting any more time, he immediately fiddled with the safe and managed to open it in less than a minute. It was easy because Holland had taught him how to open safes since he was a child.

He took the suitcase containing the mind control chipset and put it in his bag for easier carrying. After that, he immediately left this place to escape.

KICK!

Suddenly, a kick hit his waist, causing him to take a few steps back. Ivo immediately looked at the person who kicked him, and his jaw tightened. “Damn it! You again!”

Cylo, the person who kicked Ivo, looked at the hacker in front of him with a condescending gaze. “I won't let you run away like before,” he said, then quickly threw a punch at Ivo.

Once again, these two handsome men fought. They fiercely used their abilities until both of them were bruised. Ivo kicked Cylo in the waist, but Cylo managed to block it with his hand. Cylo then retaliated by punching Ivo in the face. But Ivo was not about to give up and hit Cylo back. It seemed that the two of them hated each other.

BANG!

Suddenly, a bullet flew by and grazed Ivo's left arm. This instantly stopped the fight between the two handsome men. The Black Wolf mafia members had noticed them and were ready to shoot.

Cylo turned his gaze back to Ivo. He took advantage of the situation to approach the man, grab his bag, and kick him hard in the stomach. This caused Ivo to take a few steps back, and at the same time, Cylo managed to get the bag that Ivo was carrying.

Ivo glared at Cylo angrily while holding his injured left arm. His precious bag had been easily snatched away. “Bastard!”

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Cylo and Ivo immediately looked away as the Black Wolf mafia members fired at them. They were forced to end the fight and flee in opposite directions.

“CATCH THEM!!” The mafia members split into two groups to chase Cylo and Ivo, who were running in opposite directions.

The cold and quiet night instantly turned hot and noisy. The sound of gunfire was very clear. Ivo ran south while Cylo ran north. The mafia members continued to shoot at the two people who had infiltrated their headquarters.

Cylo continued to run while carrying a bag containing the mind control chipset. He glanced back and saw several people chasing him, so he immediately took out a grenade, pulled the pin by biting it, and threw it at the people behind him.

BOOM! BOOM!

The explosions made it difficult for the people chasing him. Some of them were even injured. He took advantage of this to immediately climb the wall and escape into the forest.

He didn't care about anything else anymore. He had the mind control chipset in his hands, and he had to get out of there immediately. After a while, he finally managed to escape from the mafia's pursuit.

“Phew... it looks like they won't chase me anymore,” said Cylo, panting as he was already in the forest. He no longer saw anyone chasing him, so he should be safe for now. And not far from here, there was a pier that—

Cylo was shocked when he saw a blonde man staring at him intently. Damn, he seemed to have to take back what he said.

The blond man, Kenzo, stared at Cylo intensely. The chipset he had worked so hard to obtain was now in someone else's hands. So, he immediately ran towards the white-haired man and threw a quick punch at his face.

Cylo, who was not prepared, could only raise his hands to block Kenzo's punch. He had already suffered injuries from his fights with the Black Wolf mafia and Ivo, so his condition was unstable. He couldn't continue this fight.

But Kenzo launched another attack. He ran quickly towards Cylo and launched another blind attack. His punches and kicks were so fast that they forced Cylo to retreat a few steps. The white-haired man was visibly exhausted, and Kenzo took advantage of this to perform a spinning kick in the air that hit Cylo squarely in the face.

“Arrrghhh!” Cylo fell weakly to the ground. His eyes were blurry from Kenzo's powerful kick. The injuries he had sustained also worsened his condition.

Kenzo glanced at Cylo, then grabbed the bag containing the mind control chipset and ran quickly out of the forest. Now the situation had completely changed. Two intruders had entered the headquarters, and if he stayed, it was possible that more would follow.

“I have to get out of here immediately.” Kenzo ran quickly out of the forest. There was a pier nearby where he had stored his speedboat. There was no time to waste; he had to return to the main headquarters immediately. It was not safe here. 

With quick steps, he managed to exit the forest area. Now the view was clearer and more pleasant. He could see the settlements on the coast and the fishermen going about their business. His destination was close, so he continued to run quickly to get there as soon as possible.

When he arrived at the pier, he saw that it was quite crowded with several large boats moored there. They seemed to be fishermen who had just returned from sea. However, he didn't mind, so he walked casually past them.

“They smell awful,” Kenzo muttered as he passed the fishermen. He didn't know that people who went to sea could smell this bad. 

It seemed like they hadn't bathed in months. In fact, their smell made his head spin a little.

Kenzo continued walking until he reached his speedboat, but at the same time, he felt that the bag he was carrying had become lighter. It was as if—He quickly opened his bag and was shocked to find it empty.

Completely empty. 

The suitcase containing the mind control chipset was gone. 

Oh shit. 

He couldn't accept this. His hands clenched into fists, his jaw tightened, and his breathing quickened. Damn it. No wonder he felt something was strange about the fishermen's smell. Someone must have stolen the chipset while he was in the crowd earlier. 

He immediately ran to find the person who stole his chipset. Maybe that person was still nearby. But he still didn't see anyone suspicious. “FUCK! DAMN THIEF!”

Meanwhile, Ivo, the person who stole the mind control chipset from Kenzo, smiled smugly. He looked at the suitcase containing the mind control chipset with pleasure. Finally, what he had stolen was back in his possession. 

“Right? I had everything planned from the start, and after this, I'll definitely be able to sleep soundly.” Ivo walked lightly away from the dock area, carrying the chipset. Everything was going according to plan.
