Chapter 1702
Monique''s confession was music to Levi''s ears. Just as he was on cloud nine, she continued, "It
wasn''t your sweet words that enchanted me, but your brilliance and excellence. I couldn''t help
myself from wanting to get close to you."
No matter man or woman, people would always flock to outstanding people. On the other hand,
those who always brought negativity to others would only cause their friends to stray further away
from them.
Levi had always had confidence in himself, but after being praised by his crush, he was over the
moon. However, he still remained rational; he did not discard his emotional intelligence.
If a man did not respond to a confession of love from a girl like this, he would surely suffer for it in
the future. "Moni, it was because you are an amazing person that I pursued you," Levi confessed.
"Are we praising each other or confessing to each other?" Monique asked. She looked at him with a
slight smile in her eyes. To fall in love with a person and be loved back by them was a truly
wonderful thing, especially when both of them were aplished people in their own right.

In the past, whenever Vivian got a boyfriend, Monique always felt that something was off about the
bnce between Vivian and her boyfriend. At this moment, she finally understood that it was
because those people were not fit to pursue her sister, thus they merely became eyesores.
It was not that Monique judged people by their appearances, but that she felt that the brilliant Vivian
deserved a better man, one who was worthy of her.
During the conversation, Levi''sposure returned. The next thing on the agenda was to wait for
the right time to take action. In order not to attract attention, they would only spring into action after
all the stalls in the market had closed.
After waiting until midnight, they went straight to their destination with the equipment in tow.
The enemies probably didn''t anticipate that Levi and Monique were nearby, thus they were
unimpeded all the way. However, they dared not to be careless; they did not approach the front door
as there was a surveince camera there. Before they could even enter the house, the people
inside would discover them first.
Hence, they chose to go to the roof and break into the house through a window.
Levi went straight ahead on the offensive, while Monique stood guard on the top of the building.
Levi climbed to the window of the sixth floor along the sewage pipe. He carefully snuck the
sedatives inside carefully. After a while, when he estimated that the drug had taken effect, he
signaled Monique to descend and they entered together.
The window was not locked. Levi thought to himself that the enemy wouldn''t possibly be that
careless.
He motioned for Monique to retreat but right at that moment, people appeared in the empty alley
and the roof. They were not that many in number, but enough to surround Monique and Levi. There
were at least ten people on the ground and about the same number on the roof.
Monique gritted her teeth and cursed, "D*mn it. We were already so careful, but we still fell into the
enemy''s trap."
"Don''t panic. They don''t have weapons. We still have a good chance ofing out on top," Levi
comforted her. He was still calm as usual and continued to say, "Perhaps they''ve already found the
listening devices we installed and have been putting on a show for us all the time."
Someone shouted, "Young Master Brown, are youing down on your own or shall my men
escort you personally?"
Now that they had been discovered, hanging on the pipes in a deadlock would not save them. Levi
replied, "Don''t trouble yourself to that extent. We''lle down now."
He and Monique slid along the sewer pipe down to the first floor rapidly. Maybe they went about it
too nonchntly; the enemies took a step back collectively when they reached the ground.
Levi saw their reaction. The corners of his lips lifted slightly and he said, "Hey, if Mr. Gilbert and Mr.
Callum wanted to see me that badly, they should''ve just sent word to me. Why should they trouble
you guys to meet me here?"
"Young Master Brown, you''re indeed a smart man," one of the men replied. The current situation
was that their superiors wanted the two to be brought back alive, so they didn''t dare to act rashly,
especially when they didn''t know the true capabilities of the two. Thus, the enemies kept their
distance from them.
"Please lead the way then," Levi said. He waspletely calm, firstly, because he was more or less
confident in himself. Secondly, he wanted to put Monique at ease. Monique did not disappoint him
either. She remained as calm as him; she did not show the slightest hint of panic throughout the
interaction.
"Young Master Brown, this way." Unexpectedly, Levi and Monique were not tied up for unknown
reasons.
Levi held Monique''s hand firmly. He didn''t say a word more to her but she understood the meaning
of his grip. He didn''t want her to worry.
Monique was not worried, just a little mad at herself. She had stayed on the roof for a long time but
she did not spot any signs of an ambush. If it wasn''t for the other party wanting them to be caught
alive, she and Levi would already have be corpses.
Levi and Monique were directed to get into a military SUV. The car windows were installed with
steel bars as protection. Once the car door locked, the front and back seats were separated into two
hidden spaces. The enemies would not have to worry about them escaping.
After they got into the car, the car started moving very quickly. They did not know where these
people were taking them. They drove speedily along the way and the ride was extremely bumpy. It
shouldn''t be anywhere near the heart of the city.
Levi could not rule out the possibility that the car was installed with a listening device or a hidden
camera, hence he and Monique did not talk much to each other. They could understand what the
other was thinking from making eye contact alone.
Sheldon Gilbert and Edward Callum probably had not been in the civilians'' area for a while.
However, in order to lure them out, they put on an act so that Levi and Monique mistakenly thought
that they were still there.
And so, this was the result. Levi and Monique fell for it neatly; they thought that they were still in the
civilians'' area waiting to be caught and ended up being captured by the enemy instead.
The car had been in motion for nearly an hour. Levi had been holding Monique''s hand tightly all the
while; he did not let go for even a second.
Monique leaned on his shoulder gently and gave him a smile, indicating he should not worry about
her. She was not afraid. She believed that they could find a way toplete the mission.
Perhaps it was because both of them always achieved the top rank when they were training in the
army, thus they were confident even in the face of danger.
Finally, the car stopped.
The door was opened from the outside. Ben and Mark were there before them. Since Levi had
taught both of them a lesson before, they harbored a strong hatred for him. However, due to their
superiors'' instructions, none of them could do anything to them. Hence, they merely said politely,
"Young Master Brown, please get out of the car."
Not only did they not get rid of Levi and Monique in the first instance, but they were also being
polite. This group of people was not leisure enough to put on an act just for them. It must be that
they had other intentions.
Soon, Levi and Monique saw the targets of their mission, Sheldon and Edward. Then, they got to
know from them the real purpose of the enemy ''inviting'' them there.
Sheldon looked young; his gaze seemed to be amiable. If Levi and Monique hadn''t known his
identity in advance, they would never have imagined how vicious and callous he could be. He had
an artificial leg and walked a little stiffly. The way he spoke was very courteous.
Edward looked rtively older, but he was not more than forty years old. He was not disabled but
his gaze was murderous.
The true features of these two men werepletely different from the information Levi and Monique
had received before.
