Meanwhile , Country X , City A , Military Chief Office :

Rong Xinghe had been patiently waiting for some action from the enemy's end. She had already been connected to all the soldiers inside the two submarines and to those on the XNF Neon commercial ship. This war was going to be a long one and they knew that. An entire night had passed but there was no movement observed from Hafiz Al-Magdosh's side.

The Naval Force's higher ups were also sitting in the grand meeting room but unlike Rong Xinghe , they had started to get impatient by now. For them , Rong Xinghe was initiating the war when it wasn't even necessarily required.

"Military Chief , I still think that you are overreacting for a small assassination mission initiated by them."

"Yes Ma'am. The entire nation will think that you care about your own security. They will judge you. Moreover , you have literally put the honorable legacy of our Navy , XNF Neon on stake. The Naval soldiers' sentiments are connected to it."

"We should just call them back , Boss. Hafiz Al-Magdosh is quite sharp. I am afraid that he has already seen through our plan by now."

Rong Xinghe didn't wanted to argue with these people anymore but there was no way that she would call back the ship and the two submarines.

At this time , Feng Mian rushed inside the Rong Xinghe's office cabin ,"The shark took the bait. AM25-JEM has been released under water. Our informers have just sent the digital signal."

Rong Xinghe's lips curled upwards coldly ,"It seems like this Hafiz Al-Magdosh isn't as sharp as you all mentioned , officers."

The soldiers were taken aback by Feng Mian's words as well. What did she mean by bait ? Had Rong Xinghe actually used their first mighty XNF Neon ship as a piece of cheese to lure out AM25-JEM ? Now that they thought of it , her actions weren't actually unreasonable. AM25-JEM was the only most advanced submarine Hafiz Al-Magdosh's team had ever developed. This particular submarine had the capacity to contain total of 38 ballistic missiles in it , which in a way , was disastrous for not just peace between the nations but also for the aquatic lives.

To lure out something as enhanced as that , Country X had no choice but to send their XNF Neon. This 72 years old commercial ship wasn't the only wonder they had but it had helped them a lot during war times. Hafiz Al-Magdosh obviously knew how much Country X valued it. So only when this old beast was at stake , did he released his frightening snake named AM25-JEM.

They indeed couldn't beat to a woman with the IQ of 210. What more , she had also went through the gut-wrenching training for constant five years to grab this authority and position. After today , they would have to basically think twice before questioning her decision.

But they still felt that this entire situation wasn't even required in the first place. Obviously , they wouldn't know about the real reason until the war was truly over.

As soon as AM25-JEM entered the sea , Rong Xinghe quickly switched on the underwater drones installed in that oceanic area and started ordering the captains of the two submarines through her earpiece ,"Officer Lin , you take your SNH-321 towards the Yemen port as well. Officer Dong , you shouldn't head too inside. Just keep our SNH-322 in shadow. Am I making myself clear ?"

"Yes , Boss !", both the captains shouted through the other ends and followed the woman's lead.

"Soldiers ! Make sure that AM25-JEM shouldn't be able to detect the presence of any of our submarines through its SONAR signals. But keep giving them the hints of our presence as well. Basically , we will play the cat and mouse game underwater today.", the girl smirked as she saw the enemy's underwater craft steadily head towards XNF Neon through the drone cameras.

"Noted , Military Chief !", Officer Lin from SNH-321 reported.

Soon , the staff inside AM25-JEM realized that something was wrong. They couldn't clearly tell if they were hallucinating or not , but they felt that something was floating above them. But if it was true , then why wasn't their submarine's SONAR not responding.

Actually , submarines were the type of underwater crafts that were usually too deep down the ocean surface. So it wasn't unusual for two submarines to be unknowingly close to each other. But if they contained ballistic missiles inside them , it was a threat as well.

The captain of AM25-JEM couldn't risk this wonder of theirs and reported the situation to Jush sitting in front of Hafiz Al-Magdosh himself.

But the moment Hafiz Al-Magdosh heard the captain's uncertain information , his expression turned darker and the next second , he flipped the table in front of him upside down !

"That bi*ch ! She played us. It is a submarine hailing from Country X , damn it ! Quickly order them to come back."

"Y...yes boss."

But it was too late by now. The moment their submarine had entered the depths of the waters was the moment they had walked straight into Rong Xinghe's trap.

No matter what happened , Rong Xinghe didn't allowed AM25-JEM to get to the surface. She was simply using the first submarine to run the enemy's craft out of energy. The real attack was going to be launched from the second submarine , which was still hiding in the shadow.

Hafiz Al-Magdosh knew what was happening as well but he didn't dared to send more crafts for the rescue. Who knew how many more teams that woman had sent ?

This was how Rong Xinghe had played with his brain ! She had made him so much cautious that even though there were only three crafts from Country X's side , he didn't dared to imagine what more she had planned.

SNH-321 was continuously blocking AM25-JEM's every single movement such that this submarine couldn't attack it even after having 38 ballistic missiles installed inside it. What a shame for the most advanced water craft to be so helpless !

Two days had passed since Rong Xinghe had started this silent water war , about which , both the nations , Country X and Yemen had no idea.

For these two long days , none of the parties blinked their eyelashes for even a second.

Exactly , Rong Xinghe had not slept for the past 48 hours straight ! Now , this was actually worrying her brothers and Xi Yuan. The girl had forced Feng Mian to have comfortable naps but avoided sleep herself , no matter what.

She had switched off her phone and wasn't allowing herself to get distracted by anyone. So the family had to rely on Feng Mian to know about her health.

"She refused to drink the tea I had mixed sleeping pills in. She is too sharp for that , Al.", Feng Mian sighed.

"Can we come there ?", Xi Yuan asked worriedly.

But then he realized that the five tigers were glaring at him with their frightening expressions. So the man rubbed the back of his neck and smiled awkwardly.

Alas ! This wasn't just a battle for Rong Xinghe...
