Monique's confession was music to Levi's ears. Just as he was on cloud nine, she continued, "It wasn't your sweet words that enchanted me, but your brilliance and excellence. I couldn't help myself from wanting to get close to you."
No matter man or woman, people would always flock to outstanding people. On the other hand, those who always brought negativity to others would only cause their friends to stray further away from them.
Levi had always had confidence in himself, but after being praised by his crush, he was over the moon. However, he still remained rational; he did not discard his emotional intelligence.
If a man did not respond to a confession of love from a girl like this, he would surely suffer for it in the future. "Moni, it was because you are an amazing person that I pursued you," Levi confessed.
"Are we praising each other or confessing to each other?" Monique asked. She looked at him with a slight smile in her eyes. To fall in love with a person and be loved back by them was a truly wonderful thing, especially when both of them were accomplished people in their own right.
In the past, whenever Vivian got a boyfriend, Monique always felt that something was off about the balance between Vivian and her boyfriend. At this moment, she finally understood that it was because those people were not fit to pursue her sister, thus they merely became eyesores.
It was not that Monique judged people by their appearances, but that she felt that the brilliant Vivian deserved a better man, one who was worthy of her.
During the conversation, Levi's composure returned. The next thing on the agenda was to wait for the right time to take action. In order not to attract attention, they would only spring into action after all the stalls in the market had closed.
After waiting until midnight, they went straight to their destination with the equipment in tow.
The enemies probably didn't anticipate that Levi and Monique were nearby, thus they were unimpeded all the way. However, they dared not to be careless; they did not approach the front door as there was a surveillance camera there. Before they could even enter the house, the people inside would discover them first.
Hence, they chose to go to the roof and break into the house through a window.
Levi went straight ahead on the offensive, while Monique stood guard on the top of the building.
Levi climbed to the window of the sixth floor along the sewage pipe. He carefully snuck the sedatives inside carefully. After a while, when he estimated that the drug had taken effect, he signaled Monique to descend and they entered together.
The window was not locked. Levi thought to himself that the enemy wouldn't possibly be that careless.
He motioned for Monique to retreat but right at that moment, people appeared in the empty alley and the roof. They were not that many in number, but enough to surround Monique and Levi. There were at least ten people on the ground and about the same number on the roof.
Monique gritted her teeth and cursed, "D*mn it. We were already so careful, but we still fell into the enemy's trap."
"Don't panic. They don't have weapons. We still have a good chance of coming out on top," Levi comforted her. He was still calm as usual and continued to say, "Perhaps they've already found the listening devices we installed and have been putting on a show for us all the time."
Someone shouted, "Young Master Brown, are you coming down on your own or shall my men escort you personally?"
Now that they had been discovered, hanging on the pipes in a deadlock would not save them. Levi replied, "Don't trouble yourself to that extent. We'll come down now."
He and Monique slid along the sewer pipe down to the first floor rapidly. Maybe they went about it too nonchalantly; the enemies took a step back collectively when they reached the ground.
