Chapter 1775: No Room for Failure


    Chapter 1775: No Room for Failure


    Khebury, South City Abandoned School, was the target location for tonight''s operation.


    The first step of the n required Athena to be distracted.


    Felix took care of this matter and instructed Mr. Ball to lead arge group of people in a sudden


    firefight. After Vicki''s investigations in various territories, it was confirmed that the recent armed robbery


    in the city center was indeed orchestrated by OGW, and OGW''s goal was to create panic and turmoil in


    Khebury. Using this point, Vicki delved deeper and found a base closely rted to OGW.


    Vicki and Mr. Ball pretended to engage in a fierce battle with OGW. The purpose was simple: to distract


    Cloud''s forces and divert Athena''s attention.


    As expected, when the conflict escted.


    Athena, staying in the seaside vi, couldn''t sit still any longer. Her concern was that Cloud used to be


    from Pascaylia and grew up in Khebury. And from what she knew, Cloud had a longtime crush,


    although she didn''t know who it was, she had a faint feeling that it was rted to Khebury and also to


    Cloud''s insistence oning to Khebury.


    So, she worried that Cloud would act impulsively and ruin her overall grand n.


    At a critical moment, she had to personally intervene.

    When she learned that Cloud was engaged in a firefight with thergest organization in Khebury, she


    hesitated but ultimately decided to take charge. She couldn''t afford any mistakes in Khebury.


    Athena brought her trusted subordinates and left the seaside vi in the middle of the night.


    She left behind a few people to guard the vi.


    Meanwhile, Luther finally got the chance he had been waiting for. He stood up abruptly and began to


    take action.


    First, he used the electromaic pulse metal rod that Joyce had given him.


    The true power of this metal rody in its ability to emit electromaic pulses, causing circuit


    malfunctions, interruptions in shortwavemunication, burning out fuses, breaking down instion


    hundred meters.


    Originally, Joyce had given it to him for self-defense.


    But clearly, now was the time for this metal rod to be put to its greatest use.


    As all the electrical appliances around him malfunctioned and even the lights went out, the entire


    seaside vi fell into silent darkness.


    Luther swiftly dealt with the remaining guards.


    Next, he picked up the sleeping Alisha from the bed and carried her to the passenger seat of the car,


    fastening her seatbelt.


    He drove straight to the South City Abandoned School.


    After driving for less than ten kilometers, he abandoned the car on the roadside and switched to


    another vehicle that Aaron had prepared in advance. This way, he could effectively avoid satellite


    tracking.


    While changing the car, Luther carried Alisha to the other vehicle, making some noise in the process.


    This caused Alisha to wake up from her sleep.


    She opened her eyes and found herself lying in a strange car. She rubbed her eyes and sat up, feeling


    a bit scared.


    Luther started the car and nced at Alisha, noticing that she had awakened.


    He reached out and gentlyforted her. "Awake? Go back to sleep."


    Alisha looked around and, when she saw Luther, she felt a bit relieved. She still felt a hint of fear.


    "Daddy, where are you taking me in the middle of the night? What about Mommy? Why isn''t she with


    us?"


    This fear stemmed from instinct because Athena often instilled in her the idea of being wary of Daddy


    secretly taking her away, and then she would never see Mommy again.


    And the current situation made Alisha cautious.


    Luther patted Alisha''s shoulder gently. "Alisha, Daddy is taking you to see a doctor. You might need a


    small surgery, but after this treatment, you will fully recover. Don''t be afraid of the pain, there will be


    anesthesia, and you won''t feel a thing. Daddy will be by your side the whole time."


    Alisha looked around, feeling slightly relieved when she saw Luther. However, she still felt a hint of fear.


    "Daddy, why is the surgery being done at night? Why can''t Mommy be with me? I want Mommy."


    Luther took a deep breath.


    This operation was indeed too rushed. The preparations were not sufficient, and the main obstacle was


    that he couldn''t sever Alisha''s dependence on Athena. It took time, but he didn''t have time.


    The opportunity to use Alisha''s injury caused by Athena''s whip was a good opportunity to exploit, but


    he missed it due to the urgent deployment. He failed to magnify the impact of this event in Alisha''s


    mind, leading to fear, anxiety, and even a desire to escape from Athena.


    Instead, becauseof his haste, he could clearly feel that it had backfired on Alisha.


    At least, now he could sense a hint of wariness from Alisha''s gaze.


    This was not a good start.


    However, his physical condition didn''t allow him to dy.


    Missing this deployment already alerted the enemy.


    To gain another opportunity in the future would be as difficult as climbing to the heavens.


    Regardless of whether Alisha resisted or epted, tonight he must remove the detonator from her


    body.


    Luther attempted to exin, "Alisha, she''s busy. She knows you''re going for surgery. After your


    surgery, she wille and see you."


    "That''s impossible! Daddy, you''re lying to me!" Alisha suddenly became agitated. She tried to undo her


    seatbelt but couldn''t figure out how to release thetch. She became restless in the car.


    "You''re taking me away, so I''ll never see Mommy again. I know! You want to be with another woman


    and don''t want Mommy anymore! Waaah!" Alisha cried and kicked her legs, causing a ruckus in the


    car.


    Luther helplessly pressed his temples. If this continued, and Alisha refused to cooperate, the sess


    of the surgery would be uncertain.


    He hadn''t expected Alisha to be so sensitive and perceptive. She was indeed intelligent and had


    quickly guessed his intentions.


    Given the short time he had spent with Alisha, he hadn''t been able to gain herplete trust and


    dependence. He knew it wasn''t Alisha''s fault, but he couldn''t help but feel disappointed.


    More than that, he felt frustrated.


    "Alisha, be good, it''s not what you think." Luther patiently continued to coax her.


    "I don''t believe you. Then call Mommy now. If I hear Mommy''s voice, then I''ll believe you." Alisha wiped


    her tears and continued to cry.


    Luther''s eyes darkened. Alisha''s request couldn''t be fulfilled.


    Continuing like this was not a solution.


    Watching Alisha cry incessantly, Luther suddenly made up his mind. He struck his palm forcefully


    against the back of Alisha''s neck.


    Instantly, Alisha''s small body went limp and she fell onto the car seat, no longer crying, quietly


    unconscious.


    Luther couldn''t bear it. He had actually used such force on his fragile daughter. He had never done


    such a thing in his life. But he had no other choice.


    Tonight, sess was the only option. Failure was not an option.
