Shara wasn't sure of it but it seemed like more than an hour had passed since she started riding the car. She thought of the GPS device which was set under the car and the two men who would follow her from a distance.

Will everything went as planned? She was feeling nervous. The price will be too high if this plan failed!

All she knew was that the ride always took almost 4 hours. She had no idea of the location as she was never allowed to see it.

Time passed by with her sitting nervously in the car and finally, she heard the sound of the car being pulled over. Did they finally reach the villa? Maybe.

When she heard the sound of the gate opening, she finally confirmed that they had reached the villa. After a while, she knew that the car door was opened but still being hooded, Daniel Gu helped her out. Finally, the cloth was removed from her head and her vision wasn't blocked anymore. She finds herself standing before a big familiar villa.

"I will come and get you after two hours," Daniel Gu said and gestured her to enter the villa. Without even bothering to respond, Shara walked inside while Daniel Gu entered the car again. He will wait there while Shara meets the hostage.

"The car stopped. I think they reached now," Aston said to Leon through a phone call. He was sitting on his bike with a laptop in his other hand.

"Alright. Send me the address," Leon said and asked, "How many minutes will you need to get there?"

Aston glanced down at the screen of his laptop and said, "Fifteen minutes at most."

"That means I will need about twenty. See you there and don't put yourself in danger before I arrived."

"Alright," Aston Kang responded and ended the call. He sends the address to Leon and put the laptop in his backpack before he started driving his bike again.

Just as he predicted, Aston saw a white villa standing at the distance when he drove for around fifteen minutes. He felt as if he was in the forest. The villa was the only house in the area and it was surrounded by many trees.

To reach the villa, one must drive for at least half an hour after driving away from the main road! Until now, he never knew that this place existed in his country! Aston was convinced that Peter Jung owned the place where he was now - the forest, small mountains in the area and the road which leads to the villa; he owned them all. As such, no one ever came here.

Aria wasn't sure of how many guards were in the gate as she was always hooded until she crossed the gate. So, they had to be careful. He stopped his bike and parked it on the side of the road. He must wait for Leon and his men.

Hiding behind a tree, Aston observed the gate and the two guards who stood on the right and left. He couldn't see it further, so he wasn't sure if there were any other guards outside.

Aria said that there were a few guards inside and outside the villa. So, if they were to make a move, they must be careful. If any of the guards managed to inform the other guards about their attack, Aria and the hostage which she cherished will be in danger right away!

In no time, Leon and the members of the Blackhood arrived and joined him. Leon Jung gets off his car and quickly walked to Aston. "What is the condition?" He asked.

"There are two guards near the gate but there might also be others. It's hard to spot them all," Aston replied.

Hearing this, Leon turned to Ryan and the latter gave him a binocular. Observing the gate and its surroundings by using the binocular, Leon said, "You got it right. They are two."

"If we approached them, they might inform the guards on the inside," Aston muttered, observing the gate until... an idea crossed his mind.

"Do you think Aria will finish taking care of the guards in the control room? If not, they will see us the moment we attack the guards on the gate." Aston asked, glancing at the CCTV's which secured every interior and exterior of the villa.

Leon glanced at his wristwatch and nodded. "She said she will need half an hour at most. It's been just that since she reached that villa."

When they suggested for her to carry a hearing device with her, Shara said that she was always thoroughly checked just before she stepped a foot inside the villa and the guards will surely find it out. So, there's no way to contact Shara right now and Aston was feeling a bit reluctant.

What if Shara failed? She will be in danger!

"Trust her, Aston," Leon said when he understood his thoughts. "We've trained together ever since we were young and I know how skilled your sister is. She said she can do it and the only choice we have right now is to trust her. You know that we have just half an hour. If not, the guards at the control room will wake up and everything will fail."

Aston was reminded that they didn't have a better choice. So, he nodded and share his idea with Leon. The leader of the Blackhood nodded and they started carrying out the plan.

Aston and Leon, along with Ryan and one skilled member of the Blackhood gets on Leon's car and started driving towards the gate. The guards at the gate noticed the car and stared it but they couldn't see through it because all the windows were rolled up.

Aria said that Peter Jung often go there with her and sometimes, even later. Maybe the guards thought that the one in such a luxurious car was the Prime Minister. Maybe that's why they weren't feeling wary.

The actor was the one who drove the car and he pulled it over right before the guards while the guards were still staring at the car. The four men on the car nodded at each other and suddenly, they opened the four doors of the car in unison.

Aston and Leon who were sitting in the direction of the gate, roughly opened the car door, forcing the two guards to the ground. Ryan and the one member quickly get the two guards. One hit on the head and the guards were rendered unconscious. Then they immediately pulled them away.

Hiding behind the walls near the gate, they waited for almost a minute but there was no sound or movement. Then they finally proved that Shara had finished her task as she said.

Now it was time to take over the exterior of the villa. Leon gestured his men who were at a distance to come and the members of the Blackhood instantly complied. The members were twelve, excluding Leon and Ryan and they all had a hearing device on their ears.

"We will enter cautiously and spread in each direction. Go in by a pair of two and look out for each other. If you see the guards, make sure to take them down but be careful not to make any life-threatening injury. They are just hired guards and rendering them unconscious is enough." Leon instructed his men and they all bowed.

"I will take care of the two men on the car," Leon added. He knew his father right-hand man well and he was confident that he could take him down.

"I will go with you," Aston promptly said. "Two is better than one."

Leon nodded with an approving smile and they all went inside and spread in their appointed directions. At the same time, Aston and Leon cautiously approached the car which was parked in one corner to the right.

They looked around and after confirming that there were no guards around, they rushed to the car and suddenly opened the doors. Aston swiftly takes out his gun and pointed at the two men while they looked at him with a confused yet anxious face.

"It's been a while, Mr. Gu," Leon playfully said with a smirk. Eyeing at Aston, they both moved in unison and hit the two men, rendering them unconscious right away. Then Leon ordered two of his men to take care of them. If they wake up and cause a scene before they finished their task, they will be doomed!

While two of the members take care of the two men in the car, Aston and Leon hurriedly walked to the right and hid behind a large bush.

"So far, six guards were taken down by my men. Including the two on the gate and the other two on the car, they are 10." Leon said to Aston whose gaze was fixated on a certain thing in the front. Leon followed his gaze and saw the windows.

"I think I saw Aria inside. There are also a few guards but I can't see the hostage clearly." Aston said in a low voice. He wouldn't want to draw unwanted attention by talking loud.

Leon thought that it would be helpful to know the number of the guards inside, so he cautiously ran back and after a few minutes, he returned with the binocular.

"This will help us." He muttered and put it on his eyes, observing the inside of the villa through the windows.

"Shara is in that room and there are also a few guards like you said. One, two, three..." He counted the number of the guards until... he suddenly stopped.

In a split second, his face turned pale and he quickly shifted the binocular a little to the right again. When he finally saw the face of the hostage clearly, he instantly froze.

How come... This was impossible!
