After killing the guard dog, Hunter quickly took another crossbow bolt from his private space.
He loaded it onto the Sniper Laika Crossbow.
He then continued moving forward, heading toward the core area of the estate.
Along the way, Hunter did not move quickly.
Kevin Snod's estate covered about seven acres, which was over 28,000 square meters.
Large areas of vegetation within the estate had been artificially cleared and replaced with low-cut lawns.
Except for the occasional tree, most of the greenery in the estate was concentrated around the villa.
Because of this, Hunter had to be even more careful.
Since there was nowhere to hide within his line of sight.
If he encountered the night-patrolling bodyguards or was discovered by the guard dogs.
Hunter's infiltration would be completely exposed.
He was not moving fast, and before he even approached the doghouse of the American Pit Bull Terrier he had killed, he stopped again.
Not far away, under a large tree.
There was also a wooden doghouse there; if Hunter hadn't been careful enough, he almost wouldn't have seen it.
"How cunning!"
Raising the Sniper Laika Crossbow in his hand, Hunter quickly aimed again and pulled the trigger.
With another whoosh, a faint whimper and struggling sound came from that direction.
The second guard dog had been dealt with by Hunter.
Just as he was about to stand up, a voice suddenly came from not far away.
"Hmm? There seems to be a sound over there?"
Hunter was taken aback; instinctively, he went from a crouch to a prone position, immediately lying flat on the lawn.
He quickly took another crossbow bolt from his private space and loaded it onto the Sniper Laika Crossbow.
At the same time, he prepared for a direct assault.
Not long after, accompanied by the sound of footsteps.
A man in a black suit walked near the tree, holding a flashlight.
After waving the flashlight around casually.
He deliberately avoided the doghouse; it seemed he was a night-patrolling bodyguard.
However, he was also afraid of waking the guard dogs and causing them to bark wildly in the middle of the night.
It wasn't until the footsteps faded away that Hunter breathed a sigh of relief.
After standing up, he walked quickly to the tree.
Avoiding the garden near the tree, further ahead was the core villa area of the estate.
Hunter did not rush forward; the information provided by the Continental Hotel was incomplete.
Therefore, although he was eager to prove himself, safety remained his top priority.
Although he trusted his eyesight, to be safe, Hunter took out night-vision binoculars from his private space.
After examining the area carefully for a while, he had a good idea of the layout.
Kevin Snod's villa within the estate was a three-story European-style building.
The villa was built entirely of brick and stone, rather than the wood more commonly used by ordinary American citizens when building houses.
The total area of the villa was about three or four hundred square meters.
On the ground floor alone, there were at least five to ten different directions; it seemed it would take some effort to find Kevin Snod quickly.
Using the night-vision binoculars, Hunter quickly found another doghouse in the corner of a garden pond in front of the villa.
It was clear that although this was located in a relatively safe, affluent neighborhood.
And there were bodyguards patrolling the house, Kevin Snod was still very cautious.
He kept more than one dog in the estate to guard the house. Once an intruder was encountered, those dogs would bark to alert the patrolling bodyguards, or even pounce and bite to seriously injure the intruder.
The location of this dog was not far from Hunter, only about thirty or forty meters away.
When he moved, the dog's ears also twitched.
Seeing this, Hunter quickly put away the night-vision binoculars.
He raised the Sniper Laika Crossbow, aimed at the dog again, and immediately pulled the trigger.
"Whoosh!"
Another crossbow bolt shot out, but because the distance was a bit too close.
This time, the dog reacted.
"Awooo!"
The bolt, aimed at the dog's neck, pierced into its body instead.
Despite the immense power of the crossbow, which still penetrated the dog, blood immediately poured out.
But the dog still managed to let out a cry.
"What was that sound?"
"Sounds like a dog barking!"
The dog's pained cries quickly attracted the patrolling bodyguards.
Hunter cursed under his breath and quickly loaded another crossbow bolt into the Sniper Laika Crossbow.
As footsteps ran toward the area, he hid behind a tree, keeping a careful watch.
Seeing that there was only one patrolling bodyguard running over, Hunter immediately raised the crossbow, aimed at his chest, and pulled the trigger.
"Whoosh!"
"Ah!"
After a scream, the patrolling bodyguard fell.
Hunter quickly put away the Sniper Laika Crossbow and dashed out from behind the tree.
He quickly reached the bodyguard's side and took a silenced pistol from his private space.
Seeing him struggle and then gradually go silent.
Hunter removed the communication headset from his ear and put it on his own.
Immediately, he heard a call coming through.
"Vince, Vince..."
"Answer if you can hear me..."
"What happened over there?"
"Damn it, no response."
"Other night patrol members, move toward the villa immediately; something may have happened to Vince."
"Copy that, I'm on my way!"
Hunter dragged the corpse up and threw it into the flowerbed nearby.
He did not rush to enter the villa but hid in the shadows to wait.
Soon, accompanied by the sound of rapid footsteps.
Two people were rushing toward this area, one after the other.
Hunter was delighted to see this and took out the Sniper Laika Crossbow from his private space again.
After skillfully and quickly loading a crossbow bolt, he aimed at the one running slower and immediately pulled the trigger.
"Whoosh!"
A crossbow bolt shot out from the darkness; with Hunter's Level 5 Shooting skill, he was unerring within a 200-meter range.
The bolt was precise, piercing through the body of the runner.
"Ugh!"
The scream of his companion from behind and the sound of falling to the ground made the bodyguard in front instinctively turn to look.
At this moment, Hunter, who had already put away the Sniper Laika Crossbow, raised the silenced pistol he had taken out again.
"Pop!"
"Pop!"
"Pop!"
All three shots hit the man in the back. As his life force faded, the bodyguard fell to the ground and quickly lost his life.
Having dealt with three night-patrolling bodyguards in a row, and listening to the continuous inquiries coming through the headset, likely from the night guard at the gatehouse.
Hunter knew he was now completely exposed.
Next, it was time to storm the villa and find Kevin Snod as quickly as possible.
