Chapter Thirty-Seven: Next Door

Ghost Squad?

Jason looked at Edward quietly.

Having played several times, he already knows what to do when others think he knows, and he really doesn't.

Be silent.

It's best to look into the other person's eyes.

If you feel like you can't be calm, you can also move your gaze upwards and stare at the other person's hairline.

This will give the other person a sense of urgency, which will be doubled if the other person's hairline recedes, allowing the other person to say what they need to say faster.

Of course, you can also imagine that the other person is already bald.

This doesn't double the sense of urgency on the other side.

But it will make you feel at ease.

A male lion with a mane is mighty and majestic, but what if it is bald?

It is estimated that none of the lionesses will bother with them.

Thankfully, Edward's hair was quite thick, and even the ponytail didn't look thin.

The leader of the special operations team met Jason's gaze and nodded slightly.

"Sure enough, you know."

"However, it should be."

"After all, you've all been through those."

Edward said slowly, his tone becoming inexplicably sad.

There was silence for two or three seconds before the leader of the special operations group continued:

"The 'Ghost Squad' is formed from the elite drawn from various corps and divisions."

"Everybody is capable and equipped with the most cutting-edge weapons."

"They work closely together to carry out all kinds of difficult tasks."

"But ......"

"In the 'Battle of Decheng', they mutinied, they killed Decheng's commander at the time, 'General Will', and then, one after another, assassinated several high-ranking military officials - externally, these generals were declared dead in battle."

"After that, the 'Ghost Squad' really became a ghost."

"They are elusive, including the re-established Decheng, and now Xinde City, which has become their hunting territory."

"And me?"

Edward smiled slightly self-deprecatingly.

"It's the person in charge of the 'Ghost Squad' in 'Xinde City', from the Ninth Infantry Division."

"I wasn't chosen to be the head of this place because I was the strongest in the Ninth Infantry Division."

"It's just because there's news that the head of the 'Ghost Squad' here is Maika."

"It's the commander of the squad I used to be in."

"I know him best."

As he spoke, Edward leaned back slightly.

His upper body was completely supported by the back of the chair, and his eyes seemed a little dazed.

Apparently, the head of the special operations group began to recall the past.

Not far from the counter, the female pastry chef gestured to Jason with mint lemonade.

After Jason nodded, the female pastry chef took them all.

"Thank you."

As the pastry chef poured water, Edward finally came to his senses.

The group leader thanked the female pastry chef.

The female pastry chef returned to the oven very self-consciously.

She needs to think about making something different for lunch.

As for what Edward tells?

She wasn't interested.

Even if Edward lowered his voice and seemed mysterious, it was better for her to think about the ratio of milk, eggs, and sugar.

What a ghost squad.

What Maika.

Where sweet pastries matter.

"Maika used to be a person I admired."

"He has excellent ability, noble qualities and a tough character."

"But when he becomes an enemy, it's also the trickiest one."

"Because, you don't know where he's going to shoot at you."

"So, I originally wanted to use you as 'bait' to lure him out."

"I'm sorry."

Once again, Edward apologized.

Moreover, this time it was much more solemn.

He sat up straight, then bowed his head and bowed.

Then, he was grabbed by Jason and rolled to the side-

Bang!

The moment their bodies hit the wall of the shop, a bullet pierced the glass of the shop, accurately passing through the position that Edward had done before, and finally, piercing the table and the floor, and submerging into the basement.

"Sniper!"

"Watch for secrecy!"

Outside the store, Bancy Jr. shouted, and the people around him quickly searched for cover, while Bancy Jr. leaned on the mailbox nearby, pulled out his gun and aimed in the direction of shooting.

However, he could not find any trace of the other party.

In his field of vision, there was no one.

Even if he had locked on to the sniper point at the first time, it would be useless.

Inside the shop, Edward rolls over.

"Thank you."

"You saved my life again."

"I owe you."

After he finished speaking to Jason, he ran out.

According to what he knew about the former commander, the other party missed the blow and had already left, but with the idea of what happened, he still wanted to check and see if he could find any clues.

"Captain Edward."

The female pastry chef spoke suddenly.

"Don't worry."

"I'll be careful."

Edward, who felt the concern he hadn't seen for a long time, turned his head, habitually raised his hand and pushed his glasses, and said with a smile.

"It's not."

"It's compensation."

The female pastry chef pointed to the broken windows, the broken tables, and the floors.

Immediately, Edward's hand pushing through his glasses froze in midair.

"Write a good list."

"We'll pay for it."

With the same stiff smile, Edward finished speaking and walked out of the shop.

Jason stood up, patted the dust off his body, and after gesturing to the female pastry chef, he followed Edward out.

For the so-called 'Ghost Squad', Jason is not interested.

However, Jason is interested in the [city recognition] that the 'Ghost Squad' can bring.

Glancing at the [City Recognition] that had reached 6%, Jason quickened his pace.

Although this is only the next day, according to the time of 60 days, it is more than enough to reach 100%.

But Jason doesn't think he's going to get 6% of the city's approval every day.

Therefore, he will not give up the opportunity to obtain [city recognition].

Following Edward, Jason walked across Pea Corner Street, a place close to the next block.

"This is a sniper spot!"

Little Bancy affirmed.

Edward didn't ask, just waved his hand.

Edward would not question Bancy's ability.

The same is true for others.

After seeing Edward's gesture, these people immediately dispersed, and while blocking the place, they formed a commando team, and prepared to launch a search towards the fifth floor of the apartment in front of them.

Everything is going in order.

Edward also pulled out his gun and prepared to join the commando.

Leading by example was Edward's habit.

It is precisely because of this that Edward will be more and more admired by Bancy Jr. and others.

However, this does not mean that Edward is a reckless man without brains.

He hadn't forgotten Jason.

One person can resist a hundred people, but it leaves an indelible impression on him.

Edward turned his head to look at Jason.

Only then did Edward realize that Jason's gaze was not looking at the apartment building in front of him, but at ...... Lower building next door.

"What's wrong?"
