Jack, Mann, and Dolio are responsible for heading to the checkpoint, seizing control of Dog Town's checkpoint, and blocking the passage immediately to prevent outsiders from taking advantage of the situation or insiders from planning an escape to inform those outside.
Rebecca then leads the hackers, under the pretense of an order from Hansen, to do 'equipment inspection' and head to the weapons warehouse beneath the Gem Cyan Hotel, blocking any possibility of Netherworld Dog deploying large-scale force.
The Netherworld Dog's weaponry at the stadium is naturally handled by Mercer.
Due to the reputation of Spark Team, coupled with carefully cultivated connections over time, the majority of the average Netherworld Dogs are essentially unaware of the rift between Mercer and Hansen.
In their eyes, Mercer is the first recipient of the Honor Medal in Dog Town, receiving the highest salary and treatment, and Hansen almost always accommodates his requests—at least outwardly, both Hansen and Mercer seem this way.
So there is essentially no one who doubts, or rather those who do doubt don't dare to question Spark Team's claims openly. Mann and Jack directly dispatched the disobedient Netherworld Dog captain responsible for checkpoint security and smoothly took over command of the checkpoint.
And Rebecca, leading three hackers, met no resistance whatsoever, arriving at the weapons warehouse beneath the Gem Cyan under the supervision of a few Netherworld Dogs as required.
The three hackers immediately took control of all permissions for the armored vehicles, drones, robots, and other equipment stored there.
In fact, Rebecca and the others were astonished to discover that within the underground facility of the Gem Cyan Hotel, there was even a Chimera Tank stored, along with a Demon Lizard Armored Vehicle bought at an unknown time!
But regardless of what the original purpose of this equipment was, at this moment, it all became playthings for the hackers.
After Rebecca effortlessly dealt with several Netherworld Dogs in charge of supervision, the hackers swiftly seized control of the weaponry equipment permissions, then began standing by in the defensive underground facility.
Should the situation turn to the worst-case scenario, Rebecca and the others would not hesitate to have Venus take over all the equipment here and engage in a direct confrontation with the Netherworld Dogs.
Deprived of heavy weapons support, without network control permissions, and even communications command locked down by Mercer, the failure of this group of Netherworld Dogs was almost certain.
But defeating the Netherworld Dogs, even crushing and annihilating them, was not Mercer's goal.
At this moment, the most important thing is to capture Hansen alive!
The others were calmly and methodically reaching their predetermined targets according to plan.
Executing the most critical task, V encountered some unexpected minor trouble.
...
When the elevator doors opened, welcoming V wasn't familiar Netherworld Dogs, but several suited, slightly dark-skinned Hispanic and Black mixed men.
These suited, expressionless men emanating a murderous aura were merely holding pistols at this moment.
One man in a black suit, wearing a hat, with prosthetic eyes showing pale pupils, aimed a gun at V's head while speaking coldly: "Whenever a cigar lights up in Havana, somewhere in the world, Aguilar..."
"You idiot, what cigar, Aguilar's, don't block the way if you don't want to die!" V interrupted their nonsense with displeasure, unceremoniously raising the smart submachine gun Mercer gave her, aiming at the men in front.
If it weren't for the fact that the opposite side didn't seem allied with the Netherworld Dogs and didn't give an ordinary impression, she would have opened fire directly.
While interrupting the nonsense from the guys opposite, V immediately sent a message to Mercer.
[V: Damn, some idiots are blocking my door, saying weird stuff like cigars, Aguilar, what should I do? Should I just kill them?]
[Mercer: Cubans? It seems Hansen's preparations are quite extensive—tell them, I guarantee Dog Town's business won't be affected, but Hansen must be handed over to us first.]
V recited the message without changing a word, observing the increasingly unfriendly expressions of the men before her: "My boss said, he guarantees Dog Town's business won't be affected, but Hansen must be handed over to us first."
"What if I say no?" Aguilar said expressionlessly, then the specially designed revolver in his hand pointed unwaveringly at V's head.
[V: He asked me, if he says no?]
[Mercer: Alright, I'll talk to him.]
V pursed her lips, somewhat displeased, looking at Aguilar.
[V: Are these the Cubans behind Hansen?]
[Mercer: Yes, we offer peace before force.]
Aguilar's prosthetic eye suddenly popped up a dialog box.
[?: I am A, or you can call me Mercer, I believe you've heard of me from Mr. Hans.]
[Aguilar: Yes, I've indeed heard of you, but that doesn't mean you can move our people under our noses, Hansen can't die, otherwise someone would be very unhappy, and if someone is very unhappy, you will die, and we will be scarier than Arasaka.]
[Mercer: Listen, Hansen must be handed over to me today, but I guarantee he won't die in the short term, Dog Town's power will transition as smoothly as possible, and I'll continue doing what he did before, only better.
