Chapter 179 - Chapter 177: Night is Falling

On a hilltop in Pomona City.

Jane Smith, dressed in tight leather suitable for combat, was holding a bulky military infrared laser rangefinder.

She watched the figure of the handsome Asian Youth, who was busy in the farm.

Her sexy red lips curled slightly, though it was unclear what she was thinking.

Not far from her were five other figures: three men and two women.

The three men were brawny and burly, wearing camouflage t-shirts and bulletproof vests, with bulging muscles visible on their arms and thighs.

One look made people think of tough soldiers from the Special Forces.

In fact, that was exactly what they were.

One of them had come from a former US Military Special Forces unit and had once been a Captain.

He was suspected of raping and torturing several local women during a US Military operation.

Later, after someone filmed the assault and sold it to the media, it put the US Military in a very passive position.

Eventually, they had to send him back home, detain him for a period, and force him to retire from the military.

The other two were former Navy SEALs, experts in combat and assault.

As for the other two women, they were not simple either.

The dark-skinned Black girl was skilled in close-quarters combat and was rumored to have extremely cruel methods, often torturing her targets.

Even Jane Smith didn't know much about her background, only that although this Black girl was not the ace of their Assassin Company, she was not far off.

Because of this, Black girl had always been unconvinced by Jane Smith.

The other tall and charming woman was also an expert from Jane Smith's Assassin Company.

Because Jane Smith had taken away a significant portion of the high-paying commissions in the company in the past, her relationship with these people was not good.

"Jane Smith, we have been accompanying you here to watch that asian boy play his farm-building game all day."

"Although the company said this operation is led by you."

"But our time is also precious."

"If you have already been scared out of your wits by the previous failure, then we will just do it alone."

Seeing Jane Smith still there, holding the infrared laser rangefinder and constantly observing the Asian Youth at the farm down the mountain several kilometers away, Black girl, who had always been on bad terms with her, couldn't help but mock her.

Jane Smith maintained a faint smile on her face, as if she had long forgotten the humiliation of being "handled" twice after the assassination mission failed a week ago.

She quickly put down the infrared laser rangefinder in her hand and looked at Black girl.

"I have already made it very clear why I didn't let you move in the past few days."

"The target was also under surveillance by the Los Angeles Police Department, which only withdrew yesterday."

"Once we made a move before, there would have been a risk of exposing the Assassin Company."

"As for now, if you want to go, just go."

"After all, the company sent me here this time just to supervise."

"I have already reported the failure of this commission to the company."

"That young asian is not simple; I failed to eliminate the opponent whether through long-range sniping or close-quarters assassination."

"If I hadn't seen that the situation was bad and fled decisively, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to see me now."

Jane Smith's words were naturally half-true and half-false.

After the battle that day, she had indeed confirmed that she was no match for the handsome Asian Youth named 'Hunter Sun'.

He was too mysterious, as all the investigations into his background showed that just a year ago, before his parents passed away, he was just an ordinary asian high school student in America.

Now, not only did the opponent possess precise marksmanship and good combat skills, but his strength, agility, stamina, and alertness were all beyond Jane Smith's imagination.

It was as if he were a monster that shouldn't exist in this world.

In the past week or so, besides returning to New York to report and explain the reasons for her failure to the Assassin Company, Jane Smith had returned to Los Angeles to prepare to find opportunities to assassinate him again.

But over the past few days, Jane Smith had gradually discovered some problems.

She felt that the opponent should have also noticed her existence.

Even the surveillance personnel sent by the Los Angeles Police Department, and the elite assassination team sent by the top brass of the Assassin Company after hearing her report, Jane Smith felt the opponent should have noticed them all.

Therefore, in the past week, the opponent's behavior had been too deliberate.

To Jane Smith, it felt just like he was acting...

Jane Smith's husband was an 'ordinary businessman', and they met a few years ago in chaotic Colombia.

At that time, Jane Smith had accepted an assassination commission from the Assassin Company and went to Colombia to kill a local warlord leader.

Subsequently, the warlord's men blockaded the area and began arresting single women arriving in Colombia everywhere.

Although Jane Smith had good skills, it was still dangerous to fight a local armed force alone.

At that time, she was actually prepared to suffer losses and injuries.

As a result, Jane Smith met her current husband at the hotel where she was staying.

The opponent sensed she was in trouble, so he decisively stepped forward and pretended to be Jane Smith's husband.

Then, relying on his local connections, he made the local armed forces who came to the hotel to inspect leave, without making things difficult for Jane Smith.

Later, Jane Smith fell deeply in love with him.

The two not only eventually got married, but after marriage, Jane Smith had always played the image of a career-driven woman who often needed to travel for business in front of her current husband.

Having acted for many years, Jane Smith naturally had some experience.

Therefore, seeing the performance of the handsome young asian who had "handled" her twice and caused her to suffer a big loss, Jane Smith, who was also good at acting, keenly felt that the opponent was acting.

That was why she had been hesitant to make a move these past few days.

It was just that she felt the opponent's sudden move from the bustling Los Angeles to this farm far from the city looked too deliberate.

"Could this be a trap?"

Jane Smith still couldn't be sure if this farm was a trap set by the opponent.

But she didn't mind her few 'partners' going to test the waters for her.

If there was a chance, Jane Smith still very much hoped to shoot the opponent a few times and stab his kidneys twice with a knife...

She even wanted to personally cut off the thing that had tormented her that night.

Thinking of this, the smile on her face gradually grew more bloodthirsty.

"Night is falling!"

Jane Smith reminded.

Black girl glared at her provocatively, then looked at the sunset, and nodded: "Then we will act after dark."
