Chapter 275: Isadora

"Right here in this warehouse, I'll give you two hours to get acclimated, and then we'll prepare to execute the mission."

At Li Mochen's signal, Li Tailai spread a map open before everyone.

"Building 54 on Richer Street, just one street behind the Blazing Club, less than fifty meters away. The targets are 'Phantom Heart' Delon and 'Iron Thorn' Bertram, with possibly eight to twelve Level 13 magic-energy professionals present. My requirement is that none of them escape—"

"Bertram?"

Sampson Brut's arms bulged with veins, his face cold and grim. He knew this was a Red Priest of the Dragon Witch Cult, a formidable foe. Taking him down would not be easy, especially with a Level 17 illusionist present. Defeating them would be simple, but killing the two of them would be very difficult.

This was not like the underground base, where they had met head-on with no choice but to fight directly. And 'Iron Thorn' Bertram's strength was nearly legendary—

However, with their current strength, even if Li Mochen were absent, they could still manage it!

"May I ask for precise intelligence, Boss?"

"I can confirm they are here, and 5 a.m. is the optimal time to strike. Beyond that, I currently know nothing about this Building 54."

Li Mochen did not mention that this was the result of his divination based on Jeremy Burt's intelligence, nor was it necessary.

"But once we arrive at the location, we should be able to obtain more detailed information. One thing that must be mentioned: I do not intend to apply for domain segmentation rights from the magic tower array this time. That would waste too much time and might leak information. But this means we must avoid affecting the surrounding blocks as much as possible and finish the fight as quickly as we can. Considering Bertram's strength, that will be somewhat difficult."

—After all, this was not like before, when almost all forces in Atlanta hoped he would drive the Dragon Witch Cult out of Atlanta, or simply annihilate them.

Li Mochen guessed that if he applied to the Magic Tower Council now, the chance of a leak would be one hundred percent.

"Difficulties exist, but it should be doable. Due to the consecutive shootings and the fire at the Blazing Club, most residents in this area have temporarily moved away out of panic. We can choose a suitable attack direction to avoid harming innocents as much as possible. During close combat, we can also try to pull them into the Dark World."

Thompson Adams looked at the map: "Here we have eight magic-energy professionals at or near Level 17, and Miss Eliza's strength is also up to the fight. It is estimated that including me, Sampson Brut, and Lawrence Collinson, four of us can raise our marksmanship to near 17S level."

Although he had just received the power of a magic-energy mage, the various spells a mage possessed could also enhance his shooting ability! With his original 15S-level marksmanship, he could raise it by two levels.

As for Sampson, there was no need to mention him; he had received the power of a magic-energy shooter.

"Only seven. Isadora needs to return to Unicorn Apartment to take care of Hazel."

Li Mochen corrected: "But for this battle, I will participate personally."

At that moment, a petite woman in a black dress with a gentle face tugged at her skirt and bowed slightly to Li Mochen.

—This was Isadora Wicks, a 'slave' Li Mochen had purchased through the Red Finch Human Resources Company.

She appeared human but was actually a demi-human race, a half-elf from the Old Continent. After her previous master died, Miss Wicks was captured and re-entered the slave market.

Li Mochen had spent sixteen million gold shields to purchase her, simply because this fifty-year-old half-elf not only possessed skilled domestic abilities but was also a Level 14 magic-energy shadow.

Since the Red Finch Club was not yet open, Li Mochen had to pay an additional one hundred thousand gold shields as an introduction fee to the Red Finch Human Resources Company. His requirements were absolute reliability, extra-legal combat capability with sufficient combat experience, and preferably a woman skilled in taking care of children.

Then the Red Finch Company recommended this woman to him. Isadora Wicks met almost all his requirements. And in her current state, she couldn't be unreliable.

The Spirit Servant Blood Contract—this was a contract array implanted into Isadora Wicks's body when she was just born. Over time, the contract array had merged with her flesh, bones, and soul.

Under the Spirit Servant Blood Contract, any thought of betraying her master would cause her intense pain, and any substantive action would lead to death in endless agony—a torment even more painful than the Eastern lingchi.

Since Miss Wicks's previous master had died, Li Mochen only needed to infuse his own blood essence into this Spirit Servant Blood Contract.

Li Mochen was not unaware of Wicks's situation, but he could do nothing to help. Even he could not yet break the contract array on this woman. And right now, he indeed needed a powerful and trustworthy magic-energy shadow.

"With the Boss participating, we'll be even more confident."

Dainn Stacy interjected at the right moment: "As far as I know, today at 9 a.m., the stores of the Rising Sun Company are opening, right?"

Li Mochen said calmly: "This afternoon, I also have to participate in the semifinals of the individual fighting competition. So before that, these Dragon Witch Cult rats must be completely cleared out. I don't want any incidents to occur today."

Howard Eisenhower's eyes narrowed slightly: "But Boss, the Dragon Witch Cult is very powerful. They have over a dozen people like 'Iron Thorn' Bertram just on the East Coast. If you want to do business peacefully now, it won't be easy."

"Simple: as many as come, we kill them all! Until they dare not come."

As Li Mochen spoke, he confidently sensed the 'Divine Cloud Spirit Fortune Purple Gold Pagoda' in the sword bag behind him.

Although he had exhausted the merit power on the pagoda when sealing the Calamity Flame Dragon Force, in less than a week, the pagoda had already accumulated thirty strands of colorful spiritual light. This did not even account for the consumption from his use of the 'Zhou Tian Divine Mechanism Xuan Suo Star-Sealing Secret Art' and the refining of the seven apostle external elixirs.

So why should he worry? As long as the Dragon Witch Cult people came to this city, they would inevitably not escape his divination calculations.

"I like hearing that from the Boss. Very domineering."

Dainn's lips curled slightly, her expression pleased: "As long as the Boss insists on opposing the Dragon Witch Cult, even if you break your promise regarding Belinda, my sword will fight for you. I can even persuade the followers of the Nature Goddess to provide you with some assistance."

Sampson Brut wasted no words; he had already begun formulating a detailed plan together with Thompson Adams.

There was no more detailed map of Atlanta City here, but their minds had already recorded everything about the city's urban area, even more precise than a military map.

Li Mochen took Hazel back from Dainn's hands. Next, he needed to return the young girl in his arms to Unicorn Apartment, ease her pain, and then head to Building 54 on Richer Street—the predetermined battlefield.
