Joe turned his head to introduce Sara and Jimmy, "This is Victoria, the top expert in the industry. A true artist in the midst of bullets and gunfire."

Victoria and Frank went upstairs, removed the bullet for Frank, stitched up his wound, and then returned downstairs to the living room, where several people gathered around the long table.

Joe, "Most of the archives in Guatemala have been erased. The journalist's list of eleven people is mostly from the Guatemala archives, but she also wrote one name, Alexander Dunning. Right now, apart from us, he's the only one alive, so someone must be protecting him."

Victoria placed a snack tray on the table and said, "Dunning is the president of Browning Ovis Company, a defense contractor with wide connections."

Joe, "If the CIA is protecting him, then he's definitely under surveillance."

Frank, "Let's go meet him."

Victoria, "You have to take me with you."

Joe said with a smile, "Our group has gathered again, how nice."

Jimmy listened to their conversation throughout. He didn't know these people at all. His only goal was to familiarize himself with their method of operation by following Frank. As a retired agent, every move they made was of learning value to him. As for what they were doing, that was not an issue. When danger arose, he just needed to escape in time.

They selected their equipment, changed clothes, and headed to Alexander Dunning's cottage in the woods, having already confirmed Dunning's location to avoid going there in vain.

Frank, Joe, and Marvin changed clothes. Joe dressed up in the lavish military uniform often worn by African warlords, while Frank and Marvin acted as the pack-carrying attendants and the driver.

Victoria took Sara to a higher point, set up a sniper position, and held a sniper rifle to monitor the surroundings and identify FBI surveillance personnel.

Jimmy, driving the car, waited at a location far from theirs. He used binoculars to watch Frank meet the people inside the cottage and then enter it.

Shortly after, many people entered abruptly, all dressed in FBI SWAT uniforms, beginning to surround the cottage, and they set up a tent to be used as a command post.

Jimmy, being far away, stayed outside the cordon, but it looked like with such a tight siege, there was no way out for Frank and the others. After a while, a man in a short jacket emerged from the FBI command tent, said something into a walkie-talkie, and soon afterward, a man came out of the cottage raising his hands to surrender, only to be shot dead immediately.

As he fell, Jimmy saw the black skin—it was old man Joe. What about Frank and Marvin? Jimmy continued scanning and finally saw two figures escaping from behind the house.

As Joe fell, the jacketed man ran over, and soon after he spotted Frank and Marvin escaping from behind the house. The FBI agents began their pursuit, and that was when Victoria, who had pre-set her sniper position, took action. She fired several shots at the FBI agents, not to kill, but the bullets hit the ground in front of them, blocking their path and buying time for Frank and Marvin to get away.

Meanwhile, Victoria and Sara also began their retreat. However, during her escape, Sara lost her footing, tumbled down a slope, and was captured by the FBI.

Jimmy watched for a while, then drove towards the direction Frank and the others were escaping. Jimmy put on a black hood, and the revolver he had borrowed from Victoria's arsenal was already in his hand. He hid beside a bridge, aiming at the agents chasing Victoria, and fired.

Of course it wouldn't be a killing, these people were all regular FBI personnel, and they were also his colleagues. Shooting them dead would be too much, but shooting them in the leg wouldn't be a big problem, at most they would just need some time to recover.

Jimmy, using a revolver at such a close range, almost couldn't miss. He hadn't even shown his face yet, but he had already positioned the 5 people behind Victoria. After the "Heart Eye" upgrade, Jimmy knew that he could now achieve nearly a hundred percent accuracy by firing with his mind. However, other than firing a few shots at Resentful Spirit in Tata Town earlier, he hadn't had the chance to use it in real combat until now, five targets, just over a second, all down.

Jimmy's quick shooting didn't hit Victoria, but it did give her a scare. Victoria went to meet up with Frank and the others while Jimmy returned to his car and continued to chase after Frank. Unfortunately, he was a step too late, someone else had already picked them up in their car, and Jimmy followed them to another lakeside cabin.

As the only henchman, only then did Jimmy learn the identity of the person who came to rescue Frank and the others, Ivan Samanov, a former KGB agent, now a high-ranking official at the Russian Embassy. Alright, it figured they were old colleagues from the same era as Frank and the others. The four individuals in front of him, totaling 300 years old, could indeed be considered legendary. Apart from looking a bit old, their professional skills hadn't diminished at all.

The group went inside to change their clothes and then picked up their glasses, "To Joe." After drinking, Ivan grabbed the bottle to pour more, while Jimmy stayed out of the way, nearly invisible, swallowing a mouthful of vodka that still burned fiercely.

Victoria: "I don't mean any disrespect, but should we discuss the issue of the Vice President using the CIA as his personal assassination squad and trying to kill us?"

Frank: "What choice do we have?"

Victoria: "We could go public."

Marvin immediately chimed in, "Yeah, but that journalist didn't end up well. Besides, what about Frank's girlfriend? They might kill her soon."

Frank set down his glass and walked into the cabin, Ivan followed him in.

After a while, Frank and Ivan came out: "I need to rescue Sara, I need to kidnap the Vice President."

The others didn't react much, but Jimmy's mind buzzed, What the hell? What operation had he gotten himself into? Wasn't it supposed to be against the CIA? How had it suddenly turned to kidnapping the Vice President? Did the Special Service Bureau just sit around? He had seen firsthand the Special Service Bureau surveying the terrain and preparing for the Vice President's visit—their defense was intense. Kidnapping seemed impossible, but a long-distance sniper killing might have a bit of a chance.

As Frank announced his decision, they began to sit together to discuss the specifics, and Jimmy could only sit idly by, dumbfounded. He wondered if he should leave early, as things seemed to be getting too dangerous with this group.

Jimmy walked up behind Frank and tapped him, signaling to step outside. Frank didn't refuse, and while the others continued their discussion, Frank and Jimmy left the cabin.

Jimmy: "Frank, what the hell is going on? I always thought it was just about dealing with the CIA's assassination squad and their mastermind. Why is it now involving the Vice President?"

Frank looked at Jimmy; when they had gone to find Dunning earlier, they had only arranged for Jimmy to be their backup driver and hadn't given him an earpiece, so Jimmy had no idea what they had talked about in the secure room.

Frank: "It's complicated, but now our goal is to kidnap the Vice President to exchange for Sara."

After finishing, Frank turned to go back, but Jimmy grabbed his arm, "No matter how complicated, you need to explain clearly, Frank. I didn't ask about the details before. I came along just because I was bored and wanted to help a friend, but now that it involves the Vice President, I must know the full story. Whether I participate further or not, I swear I'll keep it confidential. Trust me, or let's say, trust Tom Codrsky's choice."
