Chapter 1031
But we’re completely drained right now and desperately need to rest p>
Mira was starving as she spoke between bites.
“If we don’t take that old man out, he’ll be a bigger headache than Mishka p>
That woman was only so arrogant because she was riding on her father’s coattails.
Just then, the hotel owner walked over. “Bosses, you have to eliminate that old man. Otherwise, once you leave, our lives will be a living hell p>
“Don’t worry, we’ll take him down p>
By the time they finished eating, it was already 8:00 AM. Mira and her team were running on fumes and headed straight upstairs to sleep.
At 2:00 PM, the alarm on her phone went off, forcing Mira to drag herself out of bed.
She glanced back at Owen and saw he was already dressed. “You can rest a bit longer. Master Ellis and I are going to make the compounds. You wouldn’t be much help anyway p>
It was better for him to conserve his energy so they’d have more strength to rely on tonight.
“Who says I wouldn’t be much help? I might not be able to mix chemicals, but I can at least do the heavy lifting.” Owen ignored her advice and got out of bed anyway.
“Fine, fine. If you don’t want to rest, then come along. You don’t even know how to enjoy your downtime, seriously p>
“Being with my lady is all the enjoyment I need,” Owen said with a roguish grin.
Mira muttered, “Smooth talker,” and began getting dressed and organized.
The chemical preparation took place in a dedicated room provided by the hotel owner; this wasn’t something to be done in a living space. They all wore gas masks; otherwise, the fumes would knock them out in no time.
Even the antidote wouldn’t prevent it.
Once the finished product was ready, it had to be sealed immediately, and the windows thrown open for ventilation. If someone walked into the unventilated room, they’d pass out within minutes.
They still had plenty of other supplies, and with limited time today, they focused solely on creating the heavy-duty sedative.
They had used up their entire stash the night before.
By the time Mira and Owen arrived, Master Ellis had already inspected the herbs the hotel owner had purchased.
“I have to say, the herbs from the Tri-Border Badlands are top tier. Much better than the ones, back in Mavaria. Once this is all over, we should buy a massive haul t@take back with us p>
Chatting as they worked, Master Ellis and Mira began measuring and mixing the ingredients.
“Hold on, Master Ellis. Wash your hands and eat something before we get to work. What if your hands start cramping from hunger later?” Owen suggested.
“Nonsense. Your hands might cramp, but mine certainly won’t p>
Despite his grumbling, he still went to wash his hands.
They had grabbed takeout from the cafeteria downstairs, packing it in containers to bring up.
After eating, the three of them got to
work. Mira and her master handled the measuring and synthesizing, white Owen took care of the
extraction and drying processes.
The equipment had been bought locally. It was essentially small-scale illicit manufacturing gear, but it worked perfectly for producing their. Sedatives
By six o’clock, after a quick dinner, it was time to move out.
Once again, they left Harvey and his sister behind to help manage the hostages and
the detained hostiles, keeping them strictly on logistics.
The rest of the team was set to assault the remaining compounds that night.
Mira’s squad consisted of the same core members. Tonight’s objective was to permanently eliminate Mishka’s father and his armed forces.
For this operation, Mira had the hotel owner purchase several large, backpack-style sprayers.
This way, if they found the right wind direction, they could sedate a massive number of enemies at once.
With their limited numbers, they had to rely on strategy. The brunt of the direct combat still had to fall on Hank’s contacts.
Mira’s team planned to use the map to set up an ambush along the enemy’s most likely escape routes.
