"Yes, there are many possibilities that could go wrong." (Manranyama Souren)

"It's possible that Eel No.1 and Eel No.2 were captured by the enemy during their retreat." (Manranyama Souren)

"It's also possible that Eel No.1 and Eel No.2 were defeated before they could reach the storage archive." (Manranyama Souren)

"Furthermore, it's even possible that neither I nor Eel No.2 were able to set out and meet you. After our disbandment today, we were preempted." (Manranyama Souren)

"I have to say, in this Eel Rice Operation, we are the weaker side. At any point, we have no absolute certainty that nothing will go wrong. We have no external or backup support, and no contingency plans." (Manranyama Souren)

"Everything relies on us, improvising on the spot and adapting to unforeseen circumstances." (Manranyama Souren)

At this point, Manranyama Souren paused and gave everyone a meaningful look, as if asking, "Are you all prepared for this?"

"In essence, this Eel Rice Operation is a gamble, risking everything for a greater outcome."

What was only implicitly acknowledged by everyone in their hearts has now been bluntly stated by Manranyama Souren.

The atmosphere suddenly became much heavier, but on the other hand, it was also a good thing, preventing everyone from lingering in unrealistic fantasies, thinking that the infiltration, or rather, the Eel Rice Operation, would go smoothly.

Chongzong thought silently in his mind.

Only by preparing for the worst can one calmly deal with any situation.

To be frank, smoothness is impossible. There will definitely be unexpected problems. That's the reality.

"Yes, I am well aware of how difficult this operation will be." (Uesugi Yui)

After hearing what Manranyama Souren said, Uesugi Yui did not waver.

"That's what I originally thought too. It's just that hearing from Manranyama, I wondered if there might be even more powerful preparations to look forward to." (Uesugi Yui)

"It's nothing. I don't have any unrealistic fantasies. I have already prepared myself." (Uesugi Yui)

Chongzong knew that Yui was not just saying empty words. Her ideals had always been firm, which was to become a police officer and bring all criminals to justice.

Now was the time for her to put her ideals into practice.

"Alright, does anyone have any more questions?" (ManranyamaSouren)

ManranyamaSouren glanced around and asked again.

"I don't have any more questions." (Chongzong)

"I'm good too." (Uesugi Yui)

"Okay, then today is our final meeting before the operation. The equipment we mentioned earlier will be distributed to everyone on the night of the Eel Rice Operation." (ManranyamaSouren)

That's what ManranyamaSouren said.

After saying these words, Manranyama Souren stood up, followed by Chongzong and Uesugi Yui.

"Van will take you home. I have some matters to attend to, so I won't accompany you." (Manranyama Souren)

Subsequently, accompanied by Van, Chongzong and Uesugi Yui left the mountain villa.

The atmosphere, which was cheerful when they arrived, was now completely different. The heavy atmosphere made it difficult to even breathe, and it felt as though the air could freeze at any moment.

This was not an exaggeration, considering their opponent was Bai Yaxin, someone capable of trafficking children. It was unimaginable what would happen if their mission failed.

They had already embarked on a difficult journey into the tiger's den.
