This was the last night before the operation began, and in order to boost everyone's morale and wish everyone a safe return from the mission, Terrence proposed to hold a small dinner party to which all those involved in the operation were invited to attend in front of and behind the scenes.

According to the original agreement, it was originally planned to hold a dinner at a high-end restaurant in the city, but later under the vote of everyone, it was decided to hold it in a beach house. The second is that due to the spacious environment in the open air, the air is fresh and the environment is quiet, so that everyone can talk freely without interference.

In addition to the six members of the operation team, there were also hacker Garnett and intelligence center director Terrence who attended today's dinner.

In order to make the dinner a success, everyone was assigned different tasks in advance, some were responsible for picking and buying ingredients, some were responsible for cooking, some were responsible for setting up the venue, and some were responsible for arranging entertainment activities.

When Hugh and his group of four arrived at the beach house, Garnett was playing billiards with his boss Terrence in the yard. Garnett was in the lead at first, but then felt that it was not appropriate to play his skills unreservedly and press his leader underneath, and finally began to slowly release the water, giving the opponent a chance to gradually level the score.

In the face of the billiard table, Terrence has been rusty for more than 20 years, only when he was young, he often played with his friends without having anything to do, under Garnett's many humbleness, Terrence gradually regained his old feeling, showing his strength in front of his opponents, playing Garnett was losing one after another, when he decided not to concede the ball anymore, there was no chance, due to Terrence's super-level play, Garnett was defeated in the hands of Terrence without suspense.

"Thank you for your courtesy, which allowed me to get back to my old self." Of course, Terrence knew this little gesture of Garnett, and this comfortable feeling of turning defeat into victory made him smile knowingly.

"The heart of defeat is convinced." Garnett clenched his fists in admiration.

"Change me on the field, let me make a move." Louis rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward to give it a try.

"Welcome to the challenge." Seeing Louis coming, Terrence had an excited look in his eyes, Louis's billiards level was among the best in the entire base, and now his old feeling had been restored, and it must be a lot of fun to play against a stronger opponent.

In the courtyard, two familiar figures were busy there, Nick and Lula had already picked all the ingredients and stacked them on the table outside the kitchen, and Katyusha and Olivia walked over to join the team preparing dinner.

And the two Prott hounds at the door, who had been unchained and chasing Sa Huan in the wide courtyard, still holding cow bones in their mouths that they didn't know where to get their hands, saw their cheerful appearance, Hugh then remembered that there was another little man who had been forgotten in the trunk of the car, and he returned to the garage and let the raccoon, which had been dizzy from the bumps, be released.

As soon as he left the cage, the guy seemed to be resurrected with blood on the spot, wandering around with great energy, either rummaging through the remnants of dog food in the kennel, or tiptoeing under the table full of ingredients, thinking that no one would be able to see it, looking at the gap where there was no one around, he reached on the table and groped for the food he was interested in, grabbed one and staggered to the corner to eat.

Nick, who was busy in the courtyard, saw this obscene little guy and couldn't help but point at him and ask, "Where is this sacred?" Do you take it to stew at night? ”

"Hehe, this thing is not for food." Hearing the other party's misunderstanding, Hugh couldn't help but laugh. Katyusha bought it at a high price from a pet dealer during her hunting in Canada, and she was completely bewildered by the raccoon's natural cuteness, but in fact, under its smiling appearance, there was a lewd and curious heart. If you have something valuable, you'd better pack it away, lest it see it and leave you missing. ”

"Really? I don't have the energy to keep an eye on this guy right now, but it's easy to watch out for it. Nick whistled in the direction of the two Prott hounds to catch their attention, and then he pointed in the direction of the raccoons, and shook his hand in that direction, and the hounds rushed towards them like arrows off the string.

Seeing the two fierce hounds running towards his direction, the raccoon was immediately frightened, and Nima was just stealing a radish to gnaw, as for letting the dog bite.

I saw them getting closer and closer to themselves. The raccoon didn't care so much, so he hurriedly threw away the half-eaten radish in his mouth, and ran in the direction of the nearest pine tree, and climbed up the branch with a few clicks.

The raccoon was finally out of danger, the little heart was still beating non-stop, panting heavily, relieving the current tension, looking at the two hounds barking under the tree, no matter how they jumped, they couldn't reach themselves, a feeling of safety and comfort arose, it looked at the pine cones on the branches, moved its crooked brain, picked up one and threw it under the tree, and smashed it on the head of one of the hounds impartially, so painful that he barked.

Finally avenged the revenge of an arrow, so that you will chase me next time, hum, beware of the pine cone waiting.

Watching the raccoon and the Prott hound fight each other made Hugh laugh. He suddenly remembered that in the cellar cellar there were still two barrels of brandy from a winery of French origin with pure taste, so he walked in the direction of the cellar and began to pick up the wine with a few empty bottles.

It was already sunset, and the darkness was like a thin veil, and under its shroud, the light in the sky gradually dimmed.

More than half an hour later, with the joint efforts of everyone, a table full of sumptuous dinners was displayed in the wide courtyard, and the vases on the snow-white table were dotted with all kinds of flowers that had just been picked from the garden, and they were arranged together with a sense of flower arrangement. The candlesticks made of sterling silver are filled with long white candles, and the bright candle flame swayes in the wind, lighting up the dark night.

Hugh put two bottles of fragrant brandy on the table and poured them for everyone.

"For the successful completion of this mission and the safe return of everyone. Cheers! Terrence suggested first.

"Cheers!" Everyone raised their wine glasses one after another, and the sound of clanging glasses heralded the official start of the dinner.

The raccoon in the tree couldn't help but drool as he looked at the hearty food below. But the thought of the two hounds hovering under the dining table made me feel a little scrupled.
