Inside a cafe near Charles Tower, Perkins ordered a cup of coffee and watched the vehicles constantly entering and exiting the building.
When she heard Hunter's voice coming through the headset...
She quickly lowered her voice and replied, "I'm here!"
Perkins had previously spent continental gold coins to buy intelligence from the Continental Hotel.
It was confirmed that the target was in Las Vegas today and seemed not to have gone out, staying home the whole time.
As a superpower spanning multiple countries, The High Table was still very influential.
There were no fewer than a hundred Continental Hotels within the United States.
Naturally, there was one in the Las Vegas of Las Vegas; although Hunter hadn't gone for a stroll there.
But when Perkins went out today, she had wandered over to the Continental Hotel in Las Vegas to purchase some intelligence.
However, although it was confirmed that Vera Tseleski was at home...
Hunter and the other wouldn't start the operation so early; they had to wait until after nine or ten o'clock at night.
It might even be later.
Hunter had good patience, and Perkins was also a professional assassin.
After the two got in touch, they occasionally chatted about this and that.
Exchanging information about the people entering and exiting Charles Tower and the situation inside the fifteenth to seventeenth floors that they had respectively seen.
Hunter had been searching for the target's figure, but unfortunately, after searching for a long time, he still hadn't been able to find him.
He hadn't even been able to find the other party's bedroom.
"Not good, it seems the other party's bedroom is likely in a place I can't observe from this direction."
It wasn't that Hunter hadn't thought about immediately changing positions to another building two or three kilometers away.
But the reason he had chosen this position before...
Was because the location was too good, allowing him to observe most of the fifteenth to seventeenth floors.
Including the stairwells and elevator entrances, which were all within the field of vision from here.
Hunter thought about it and ultimately did not change his position.
Time passed bit by bit while waiting.
At nine o'clock, they noticed there were still many pedestrians on the street, so they were in no hurry to act.
After waiting another hour, until after ten o'clock...
Hunter could still hold out; his patience had always been very good.
Moreover, as his physical fitness improved, even staying up for a day or two without sleep had almost no effect on him.
But just because Hunter could hold out didn't mean Perkins' patience was equally good.
"There are almost no pedestrians to be seen on the road. Let's get ready to start the operation."
Hunter didn't stop her either; he was confident in his skills. "Okay."
Perkins soon left that cafe; she changed into simple clothes in a dark alley nearby and then found the luggage bag she had prepared long ago.
Picking up the luggage bag, Perkins walked toward Charles Tower.
Hunter stared intently at Charles Tower, his hand resting on the trigger, ready to pull it at any moment.
Perkins was bold enough to take the elevator all the way up to the fifteenth floor.
Hunter's muzzle was aimed at the fifteenth floor of Charles Tower.
Through the scope, he had already seen two bodyguards stationed outside the elevator on the fifteenth floor.
When they noticed an elevator coming up, the two bodyguards both looked toward the elevator.
And when the elevator stopped on the fifteenth floor...
The two bodyguards glanced at each other; one stepped forward, while the other rested his hand on his waist.
The moment the elevator opened, although the noise from the other side couldn't be heard...
Hunter could still guess that the two bodyguards were likely questioning Perkins' identity.
He was in no hurry to fire; as a professional assassin, Perkins could handle two bodyguards quite easily.
Sure enough, before the two bodyguards could sense anything wrong and draw their guns...
Perkins had already raised her gun and decisively shot and killed the two bodyguards.
"Hey, can you hear me?"
Using the suitcase she had brought to prevent the elevator doors from closing...
Only then did Perkins turn her communicator back on.
"I can!"
The communicators provided by the Continental Hotel were still very practical.
"I'm preparing to search upwards from the fifteenth floor."
"Make sure you provide cover for me!"
"Okay!"
Hunter observed the area intently and soon noticed something happening.
"Directly in front of you, there's someone in the next room. Not a bodyguard."
Perkins kicked the door open. Once she saw that it was a servant inside, she still raised her gun without hesitation and pulled the trigger.
Hunter frowned slightly but didn't say much.
Among professional hitmen, this kind of behavior was considered relatively common.
Soon, more gunshots rang out, but Perkins had moved into a blind spot where he couldn't see her.
However, Hunter also noticed two bodyguards on the sixteenth floor coming down via the stairs.
The enemies were flanking behind Perkins. Seeing this, he immediately shifted his muzzle, aimed at one of them, and quickly pulled the trigger.
Bang!
A few seconds later, the bullet pierced through the tempered glass and hit one of them.
After skillfully adjusting his aim, Hunter quickly targeted the other person and pulled the trigger again.
Bang!
With another gunshot, the other bodyguard, who was being cautious and alert, also fell.
"Did something happen?"
Perkins, having finished off a few targets herself, asked.
"People came down from the sixteenth floor!"
Hunter answered her while keeping his eyes on Charles Tower.
He noticed that on other floors of the building, it seemed residents had heard the gunshots from the fifteenth floor, and lights were turning on one after another.
He immediately urged, "Speed up. I see lights coming on on many floors in the building. Someone will likely call the police. In twenty to thirty minutes at most, the police will be here."
"Got it!"
Perkins stopped talking and continued her search.
Intermittent gunshots followed.
Soon, she finished searching the fifteenth floor and moved up to the sixteenth.
Hunter coordinated with Perkins, continuously picking off bodyguards one by one.
Before long, after clearing the bodyguards on the sixteenth floor,
Perkins was just about to head to the seventeenth floor when suddenly, Hunter's expression changed.
He saw a large number of bodyguards in black suits and armed personnel breaking through the sealed security passage doors on the fifteenth floor with their guns drawn.
Looking at their hurried state as they rushed toward the seventeenth floor,
it was obvious that Vera Tseleski hadn't just bought three floors in this apartment building to renovate for his own residence.
He had also purchased other apartments to arrange for his bodyguards to live in the same building.
"Be careful, the target has other bodyguards living in the same apartment building."
Realizing this, Hunter immediately notified Perkins and adjusted his aim, beginning long-range support.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Eliminating one target per shot, Hunter quickly finished a magazine of specialized sniper rounds.
Then, he took another magazine out from his private space and loaded it.
Hunter aimed at Charles Tower once again!
Vera Tseleski's bodyguards weren't pushovers either.
Someone had already noticed that a sniper was systematically picking them off.
After someone roughly determined the direction based on the bullet holes in the walls,
the group of people quickly disappeared from Hunter's field of vision.
Seeing this, Hunter's heart couldn't help but sink.
The thing he was worried about had happened after all.
"Perkins, I've been spotted."
"They've avoided my line of sight; I've currently lost visual on them."
The answer he received was the sound of frequent gunshots.
After a good while, Hunter finally saw Perkins appear in his field of vision, appearing in a room he could observe.
"So many people, this guy is such a coward."
"The target must have arranged dozens of bodyguards in this building."
Hunter saw through his high-powered scope that Perkins had ducked into a room he could watch.
Seeing that although she looked disheveled, she didn't seem injured,
Hunter was relieved. "At least she's not stupid."
Bang!
As he spoke, he pulled the trigger again, killing a bodyguard who was trying to rush into the room where Perkins was.
The reappearance of the sniper rifle immediately scared those people back.
Perkins once again had a chance to catch her breath!
"Hold the door, don't let them rush in."
Hunter also knew that if this stalemate continued, it would be Perkins who was at a disadvantage.
He fired again, accurately hitting someone who poked their head out.
"I'm coming to support you now. Hold on, give me about ten minutes."
After saying that, Hunter quickly stored the sniper rifle into his private space.
Then he quickly left the rooftop and rushed toward Charles Tower...
