Saint-Michel Mountain, with its church and monastery atop, has withstood a millennium. For Christians, it is a holy place of faith; for ordinary tourists, it is an awe-inspiring historical site. However, for Luo An and his group... they had no interest at all. The following morning, after observing the terrain around the church, they headed down the mountain, making their way to a small path below. After all, this place is a tourist destination and inevitably has many shops and restaurants, but as the road leading up the mountain is short, the "commercial street" is just a hundred or two hundred meters. After a brief analysis of the geographical location, the group finally chose a souvenir shop located deep in the street. Conrad convinced the shop owner to rent out the space to him for three days with fifty thousand euros and a handgun. Watching Conrad stuff fifty thousand euros into the owner's hands, then knocking him out and stuffing him into the wardrobe, Evelyn changed into an employee's uniform quite naturally, and Reesi twitched her eyelid: "You guys are too skilled at this." "It's called experience." Evelyn, donning the staff uniform, revealed a smiling face and nonchalantly grabbed a very pretty, stone-like necklace souvenir and stuffed it into her pocket, saying: "This shop can only have one employee; the rest of you will need to find your own way to blend in." Mona spread her hands and directly moved to the back room with a laptop. Her task was to check the surveillance, so there was no need for disguise. Conrad posed as the shop owner, while Luo An, Sean, and Reesi took the surveillance equipment from the metal box and left the shop to secretly install cameras in various corners of the island. After successfully linking the signal, Mona guided the team over the phone, instructing them to adjust the direction of the surveillance cameras back and forth to better observe the situation on Saint-Michel Mountain. The installation of the first few cameras went smoothly. The devices themselves were small, and with Mona's guidance, it took Luo An's team less than an hour to install six cameras. Luo An proceeded to the next location and suddenly furrowed his brows upon reaching the rooftop of the target building, pausing in his steps. Mona had been keeping in touch with Luo An over the phone; hearing his footsteps cease, she lowered her voice and hurriedly asked: Standing by the side of a wall, Luo An peered through glass at the mechanical equipment in the corner beneath the eaves, his lips curving into a smile: "I don't see enemies, but there's a surveillance camera installed by them." Mona was startled at first, then quickly grasped the situation and asked: "MI6's? Or from Bureau 7?" "Don't know; it's just a brand-new surveillance device. It doesn't have a name on it." Luo An chuckled and asked: "Mona, can you link to this surveillance device, or directly hack it?" Mona hesitated for a moment on the phone: "Sorry, it's too far away; I can't connect to it. Moreover, I'm worried that they are watching the surveillance now, and doing so might alert them." "Then let's not bother." Upon hearing this, Luo An did not insist any further. He immediately turned and left, saying at the same time: "Mona, mark this location on the map." Luo An continued on to the next site. In the following time, both Reesi and Sean also encountered brand-new cameras. Due to Luo An's specific reminders, they didn't touch those devices and didn't enter the monitored areas. They simply recorded their exact locations. By noon, the team returned to the souvenir shop. At this time, a few customers were shopping, barely giving the casually dressed Luo An and his two companions a glance. Under Evelyn's charming and eloquent sales pitch, the customers left happily after spending dozens of euros on memorabilia. After sending them off, Evelyn too smiled broadly, pocketing the money. Seeing this, Reesi rolled her eyes dramatically, Sean was unsurprised, and Luo An chose to ignore it, walking directly into the back room of the shop. "You're back just in time." At the table, Mona beckoned Luo An and turned her computer screen to show the others the map she had organized, saying: "This is the other surveillance cameras you've just discovered. Their locations are quite good, when combined with the surveillance cameras we've arranged, Saint-Michel Mountain can be completely covered." Reesi clicked her tongue, not knowing what to say, Sean remained silent, and after a few seconds of thought, Luo An turned to look at Conrad and asked: "Should we find them and have a chat?" Conrad spoke with an unruffled demeanor: "Our operation this time should not be conspicuous, no matter if the other party is MI6 or the Seventh Bureau, as long as we capture Rupert and Zakaria first, the rest of the matters will be up to us." Conrad's words were brimming with dominance, full of CIA style, and Sean nodded repeatedly with pride on his face. Luo An smiled without saying anything, Reesi and Mona exchanged glances, both seeing the bewildered look in each other's eyes, then gave a perfunctory clap. And so the matter was settled. In the following time, Mona, Reesi, and Sean took turns watching over the surveillance, while Evelyn continued to pretend to be a store clerk outside, preventing customers from noticing any flaws. As for Conrad, he was in charge of pretending to be the shop owner. When the real shop owner in the cupboard woke up, he would take him to have some food, use the toilet, and then knock him out again, throwing him back into the wardrobe along with the money. Time ticked by, and soon it was evening, and there were significantly fewer tourists on the streets. Seeing the dwindling number of tourists, and after selling a large number of the shop owner's souvenirs, making a tidy sum for herself, Evelyn decided to close the shop early. Upon seeing this, Luo An immediately stopped Evelyn's action and called Reesi over, asking her to go outside and see how many shops had already closed for the day. Twenty minutes later, Reesi returned to the shop and reported: "A small restaurant, a little beverage shop, and a small hotel." Evelyn then realized and covered her mouth in astonishment: "Group Leader Greenwood, do you mean that the three shops that have ceased operations could be where the people from MI6 or the Seventh Bureau are staying?" "It's highly likely." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NovelHub(.)net "Everyone is here to carry out a mission; running shops is just a cover, it's normal procedure to stop operations early." Reesi very much agreed. She gave Evelyn a look of disdain and said: "Not many people think about making extra money on the side while on a mission, like you do." Evelyn stood her ground unflinchingly, arms crossed, confidently saying: "We did give the shop owner fifty thousand euros, what's wrong with selling some merchandise? He should be thankful to me. Without me, how could he possibly sell so many souvenirs while asleep? It's already nice of me not to ask for wages for serving as a shop assistant." Reesi's eyes widened with disbelief, but Luo An paid no attention to Evelyn's words and asked: "Reesi, are you sure it's three shops?" After returning a fierce glare at Evelyn, Reesi suddenly paused, realizing something was off: "Why would it be three?" Evelyn's expression changed slightly and she was about to speak when Mona suddenly emerged from the back room: "The targets have arrived at Saint-Michel Mountain." "On the mudflat not far from here!" Before Luo An could ask further, Conrad, fully armed, stormed out of the room and tossed a gun to Luo An:
