Upon a grassy meadow, there stood more than twenty black-clad individuals, who had arrived with Bidegla. At this moment, they all stood in perfect formation before Bidegla and Stuart Buzer, their gaze unwavering and their training evident.
A fierce aura emanated from their beings, causing Bidegla to feel a sense of unease. When they were alone, Bidegla could not discern much, but with them all standing together, their collective presence was undeniably formidable.
This was the essence of an army - a single soldier may not have much impact, but when countless soldiers stand together, one can feel the oppressive force emanating from the depths of their collective spirit.
"If any of you dare to utter even the slightest sound, do not expect me to be lenient. Capture one alive and receive a reward of one hundred thousand, kill one and receive fifty thousand, let one escape and you will be left to deal with the consequences yourselves," Stuart Buzer spoke, his tone chilling.
In that instant, he seemed to transform into a different person, devoid of any semblance of a smile, only exuding an immensely icy demeanor.
"Understood!" the more than twenty individuals responded in unison, their voices subdued, more akin to low growls.
"Very well, disperse," Stuart Buzer waved his hand, and the black-clad individuals immediately scattered, disappearing into the dense bushes nearby.
These thickets provided them with excellent cover and made it easier for them to approach the plastic factory.
"Let us proceed as well," Stuart Buzer said, removing his coat and silently slipping into the underbrush.
Bidegla followed suit, realizing that despite his proficiency in combat during his university days, his experience in the societal realm was clearly not on par with Stuart Buzer's, given that he had only been immersed in such experiences for a year.
"Junior Brother, control the energy within your body, gather it in your legs and heart. This will help you better conceal your presence and achieve a level of agility," Stuart Buzer whispered softly to Bidegla, catching him slightly off guard.
However, Bidegla quickly regained his composure, understanding that Stuart Buzer was imparting some essential skills to him.
Following his instructions, Bidegla felt a significant lightness permeate his body, as if he could effortlessly take flight. Moreover, in his current state, he could go without breathing for half a minute without any issue, and even his heartbeat had slowed down.
The abandoned plastic factory was roughly a kilometer away, and after about five minutes, the two of them had stealthily approached the vicinity of the factory.
The factory was in a state of disrepair, with its walls decaying to the point of collapse. Yet, the environment was eerily quiet, almost unnervingly so.
In such surroundings, amidst such silence, not even the sounds of small creatures could be heard, leaving an unsettling stillness. As the saying goes, unusual quietness portends something sinister.
Utilizing his clairvoyant abilities, Bidegla was astonished to discover that there were no fewer than twenty individuals hidden within these dilapidated structures.
These figures, akin to demons lurking in the darkness, remained concealed, without making a single sound.
The entire plastic factory was practically teeming with individuals stationed at intervals, rendering their defense impenetrable. It was no wonder that the silence was so profoundly unsettling.
"Brother Buzer, we are in quite a predicament. There are at least twenty individuals hidden here," Bidegla whispered in Stuart Buzer's ear, leaving him astounded.
He had received information suggesting that there were at most ten individuals here, including those in hiding. But now, for Bidegla to claim that there were more than twenty, how could he not be astonished?
"How did you discover this?" Stuart Buzer asked in a lowered voice.
"Let's not dwell on that right now, my friend. We should focus on what to do next," Bidegla spoke, his expression darkening.
Thankfully, he had the ability to see through things. Otherwise, rushing in like that would have made it difficult for them to escape.
The fact that they were able to remain so quiet and motionless for so long indicated that these people were definitely not ordinary.

"Now that we're here, we cannot retreat. Let's split up and take care of these people in secret," Stuart Buzer pondered for a moment before speaking.
"Agreed," Bidegla naturally had no objections to Stuart Buzer's suggestion. Although these people were hidden very well, he had the ability to see through them, so their hiding made no difference to him. He was, however, a little concerned for Stuart Buzer.
"Will you be in danger?" Bidegla, feeling uneasy, stopped Stuart Buzer from moving.
"Don't worry, your senior brother's skills are almost at the level of internal energy. Dealing with a few nobodies will not be a problem. You should be more concerned about yourself," Stuart Buzer said, freeing himself from Bidegla's grip and stealthily moving in another direction.
Seeing Stuart Buzer take action, Bidegla naturally followed suit. He adjusted his own power and silently approached the hidden assassins.
The pitch-black night sky was ominously quiet. In a place where others could not see, a faint groan could be heard as Bidegla grabbed the outermost person and ruthlessly snapped his neck.
These people were clearly waiting for them to arrive. Since that was the case, there was no need for politeness. This battle was a matter of life and death, with no other options.
Although there was some commotion, the second hidden person was fortunately ten meters away and had not noticed anything.
Perhaps these people had not expected to become the prey of others, waiting in place for someone to rush in.
Releasing the first person, Bidegla felt no pity and continued to slowly approach the next target.
Using the same method, Bidegla quickly took care of the second hidden person. There were over twenty people in total, and still several more behind them.
When he used his ability to see through things to check on Stuart Buzer, he was surprised because Stuart Buzer had already taken care of six people without making a sound.
At this point, his strength had not yet reached the level of external energy, and this gap was now evident.
With a calm expression on his face, Bidegla was like a phantom in the dark night, appearing and disappearing without a trace, reaping the most inexpensive of lives with abandon.
"Number Five, what's the situation on your end?" Just as Bidegla was about to kill the fifth person, a voice suddenly rang out, belonging to the next person Bidegla was about to deal with.
Seeing that the other person seemed to have realized what was happening, Bidegla's expression also changed slightly. When he killed this person, the struggle caused some noise and the person did not die instantly.
"I'm fine," Bidegla replied, slightly altering his voice to sound hoarse.
However, his words clearly had no effect, as the person was now walking towards him, and Bidegla, with slightly sweaty palms, was prepared to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.
Fully focused on the person approaching him in the darkness, Bidegla clenched his fists tightly.
Just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly felt a blur in front of his eyes, and then saw the figure of the black-clad man slumping to the side. Standing behind him was the cold and impassive Stuart Buzer.
"Junior brother, we can go catch the mastermind, and leave this place to my men," Stuart Buzer said as he approached Bidegla, pulling him up from the ground.
The strength of Stuart Buzer was terrifying. With his speed, Bidegla could only see a blur even with his insight. Is this the power of internal strength?
At the thought of this, a fiery feeling rose in his heart.
The mastermind was right here, even sleeping. Using his insight, Bidegla could see everything clearly. So, at that moment, he and Stuart Buzer went straight to the sleeping person's location without any hindrance.
Behind them, Stuart Buzer's men had already charged in. The remaining few people were not a concern; they could handle them.
With a kick, the iron door swung open, and the light inside revealed a makeshift wooden bed with five men lying on it.
Four of these men were henchmen, and the one in the middle was the mastermind Bidegla was looking for.
The sound of the kicked-open door was not subtle, so the five men on the bed woke up suddenly, looking at the two people blocking the door with shocked expressions. Clearly, they had not expected someone to break in under such tight security.
"No need to look outside, those trash have already been taken care of," Stuart Buzer said with a cold laugh, seeing their eyes darting outside.
"Friends, it seems we have no grudges, right?" the man in the middle, with a muscular body and tattoos, spoke. He did not look like a good person.
Beside him, the four henchmen immediately stood in front of him, clearly playing the role of cannon fodder.
"You may not have a grudge with him, but can you say the same for me?" Stuart Buzer walked over with Bidegla behind him, wearing a cold smile.
"You..." Seeing Bidegla, the man's expression changed noticeably. He recognized Bidegla, and it was because of Bidegla that their mission had failed. So, he had longed to kill Bidegla.
"Friend, how could I possibly know you? Are you mistaken?" Although he wanted to kill Bidegla, the man dared not say it at the moment because he could tell that these were not friendly visitors.
"Mistaken?" Bidegla smiled faintly and said, "I guess you must be eager to kill me right now, aren't you? If you don't know me, why are your eyes flashing so intensely?"
"Just say the name of the real mastermind behind you, and maybe I'll spare your lives," Stuart Buzer said, staring at them coldly.
However, under his gaze, none of the five men spoke, as if they were mute.
But soon, a cold smile appeared on Bidegla's lips, and then, using his insight, he saw the man at the back give a slight signal to the other four.
Bidegla was not sure if there was a mastermind behind them; he just wanted to bluff them. But what he didn't expect was that the situation was clearly not that simple. There was definitely a true mastermind behind them.
At the thought of this, his expression immediately turned cold. Laura's Jewelry Store was also his concern. Anyone plotting against the jewelry store was essentially trying to steal his livelihood.
The brute would resort to violence for food, and now that someone is trying to steal Bidegla's livelihood, he is willing to kill!
"Brother, what are you saying? I cannot comprehend," the man at the back spoke, with a defiant expression.
