Chapter 195: Countermeasure Meeting (1)
The atmosphere was gloomy, contrasting with the warm interior where the fireplace’s wood crackled.
“Say something. Aren’t we here to discuss countermeasures?”
“...We need to have a plan before we can discuss it.”
Five people sat around the table in the cabin.
They were Spaniard, Dark Soul, Yang Chiwen, John Delgado, and Ryu Min disguised as Swingman.
The five, now unexpectedly forming the Five Apostles, had been trying to come up with a way to counter Black Scythe for thirty minutes, but only silence followed.
No matter how they thought, no solution came to mind.
Unable to bear it anymore, the Spaniard spoke up.
“Black Scythe killed seven of our apostles. Of course, we must avenge them. But... considering even seven of us couldn’t handle it, solving this with brutal force seems impractical.”
“So, what? Are you suggesting we surrender?”
Yang Chiwen spoke with clear distaste, but the Spaniard shook his head.
“No need to surrender. The Black Scythe doesn’t know about us. We just need to stay out of it.”
“Are you suggesting we give up?”
When Spaniard nodded, Dark Soul shouted in disbelief.
“How can we give up without even trying? We should at least attempt an assassination!”
“That’s how we ended up in this situation.”
“But I haven’t tried yet.”
“Are you confident?”
“Of course! Just lure Black Scythe to a sniping spot, and I’ll blow his brains out!”
Dark Soul boasted confidently, but Yang Chiwen immediately shot back.
“So, you’re suggesting we act as bait?”
“It’s the only way to kill Black Scythe.”
“And if it fails? We’ll all die, won’t we? No, just us bait will die. You’ll be safe 2km away.”
“Don’t worry. I won’t fail. My sniping skills are flawless.”
“With such skills, why didn’t you make it to the top three in the whole region?”
“How about it? Isn’t it a good plan?”
“Yes. Now we just need to find out where the Black Scythe lives.”
“But how do we do that?”
Everyone looked expectantly at Yang Chiwen, but his response was disappointing.
“That’s something we need to figure out. I haven’t thought that far.”
“Hmm....”
Assassinating the Black Scythe when he enters the Otherworld, using outsiders to break in.
That would ensure even the high-level opponent could be easily killed.
‘The plan is good, but....’
The problem was finding out where the Black Scythe lived.
“How about provoking the CPF squad members to lure out the Black Scythe and then tailing him? That way, we can find out his residence.”
“What if we’re caught tailing him? We’ll be dead.”
“We just have to follow him without being noticed. Stay at least 30 meters away to avoid detection.”
“Detection isn’t the issue. It’s the search skills. He can detect us within a 500m radius. We can’t follow from over 500m away.”
“Indeed, tailing him is difficult.”
“To tail him, we’d need an assassin class. With invisibility, they might avoid detection skills.”
“We don’t have an assassin among us.”
“That’s right.”
The Five Apostles consisted of a Gladiator, a Hunter, a Sniper, a Necromancer, and a Martial Artist.
None of them could safely tail someone.
At that moment, Ryu Min saw an opportunity and raised his hand.
“I have a trustworthy assassin among my acquaintances. Wouldn’t it be good to ask him?”
“An acquaintance? What’s his name?”
“Jeffrey. His nickname is [Jeffy].”
