The assassin attempted to raise his foot, but Tristan mirrored his movement, indicating he was one step ahead. Sweat beaded on the assassin’s forehead as he locked eyes with Tristan, grappling with his options. He couldn’t afford to meet his end here. While he didn’t possess crucial information, he understood the necessity of alerting his allies to the change of plan.
The young man introduced earlier had been planted as a mole by the Coltons in the Winters’ base several years ago. Throughout this time, he meticulously followed orders from the Winters, refraining from making any suspicious moves or transmitting secret information to avoid tipping off Duke to their intentions.
However, when they discovered that Duke had sold off a significant portion of his business empire, they realized that something was amiss and decided to expedite their plan.
Duke’s significant decision to sell off his properties and shares wasn’t kept under wraps; it caused a stir in the upper echelons and garnered attention internationally from those monitoring Duke’s activities. His assets were snapped up rapidly, generating widespread interest. Moreover, many individuals were eager to offer additional resources to Duke in exchange for a stake in his companies.
Tristan, being closely involved in managing the sales, had a thorough understanding of the process.
After the Winters’ swift overnight operation, speculation ran rampant about Duke’s intentions. It seemed as though he was preparing for a major confrontational war or event, prompting him to stockpile supplies. In the wake of the apocalypse, this raised suspicions now differ that Duke was somehow privy to some crucial information about the coming of the apocalypse.
Consequently, their objective shifted from merely eliminating the Winters to also seizing control of their valuable supplies.
The young man, acting as the Coltons’ mole, provided critical intel on the Winters’ recent movements, effectively serving as their guide. With Duke’s impending arrival anticipated, the Coltons prepared for a full-scale assault.
Tasked with extracting information about the location of their supplies, the assassin was dispatched with the ultimate goal of eliminating Duke and his family after getting the information they wanted.
Unexpectedly, significant developments unfolded without their knowledge. It seemed the mole ceased communication, likely due to Duke’s presence, prompting him to meet the assassin in person instead to convey vital information he gathered from Vulture’s story and updates on Duke’s condition.
However, this face-to-face encounter took an unforeseen turn, leading to unintended consequences for their plans.
But since the mole only has a low rank among Duke’s group, he did not gather any vital information that’s why they are dragging and just cornering the Winters until today, all the information he got was from what Vulture said.
And knowing that someone would come, he sneaked out to relay the information so that, whoever among the two escaped, at least both had the information to relay to their young master.
With the mole dead and the assassin now trapped, the situation grew dire. Uncertain of his next move to evade Tristan’s relentless assault, the assassin found himself in a precarious position. Tristan, showing no mercy, unleashed a relentless barrage of attacks, leaving the assassin battered and helpless.
Tristan also realized this crucial information and his awareness heightened upon discovering the mole within their ranks. With this knowledge in mind, he swiftly honed in on the assassin’s weaknesses, targeting both his physical vulnerabilities and his mental resilience.
Tristan aimed to extract any valuable information from the assassin, resorting to lethal force if necessary should the assassin prove uncooperative.
