The next day, at the military base in Mayberry, Christopher's face darkened as he felt a jolt of anger.
Tim and the other soldiers lowered their heads and dared not utter a single sound.
Christopher was about to explode in anger. "How could you all screw up such a small matter?"
Tim had no choice but to defend himself. "Though the Specter and his men are dead, we received an update from Channing about Yanis's death! We've achieved our goal, haven't we?"
Christopher roared, "Do you really believe Yanis is dead? If he's really dead, Nathan would have gone berserk. We sent someone to get rid of Yanis, but now he seems to be exceptionally quiet. Don't you find it unusual?"
Tim widened his eyes. "You mean Yanis is not dead?"
Christopher snorted, "You've been leading the troops for quite some time now, but you still don't get it? Whatever you think is true could be false and vice-versa. Nathan intentionally leaked Yanis's death, but I'm pretty sure that man's still alive. If he told everyone Yanis is dead, then there's a high possibility he isn't."
Tim's expression changed, and he hurriedly asked, "What should we do now then?"
Christopher sighed. "We can't be employing the same tactic again. It's unlikely for us to succeed if we're going to assassinate Yanis again. Yanis has been with me for years, and he has proven himself to be a loyal follower. I suppose he will not betray me for now."
"Deploy some men to monitor Nathan and his men. Report to me immediately if they notice something fishy," He ordered.
"Yes, Sir!"
Colin soon arrived in Mayberry in secret and headed straight to Yanis's house.
He turned on the switch that allowed him to open the hidden chamber in the courtyard's fountain, and soon, he found all the notebooks Yanis had mentioned.
He took out a few notebooks to check the pages. Once he confirmed those were the notebooks the general needed, he put them into his bag, feeling excited.
