Chapter 1775: No Room for Failure
Khebury, South City Abandoned School, was the target location for tonight's operation.
The first step of the plan required Athena to be distracted.
Felix took care of this matter and instructed Mr. Ball to lead a large group of people in a sudden firefight. After Vicki's investigations
in various territories, it was confirmed that the recent armed robbery in the city center was indeed orchestrated by OGW, and
OGW's goal was to create panic and turmoil in Khebury. Using this point, Vicki delved deeper and found a base closely related to
OGW.
Vicki and Mr. Ball pretended to engage in a fierce battle with OGW. The purpose was simple: to distract Cloud's forces and divert
Athena's attention.
As expected, when the conflict escalated.
Athena, staying in the seaside villa, couldn't sit still any longer. Her concern was that Cloud used to be from Pascaylia and grew up
in Khebury. And from what she knew, Cloud had a longtcrush, although she didn't know who it was, she had a faint feeling that
it was related to Khebury and also to Cloud's insistence on coming to Khebury.
So, she worried that Cloud would act impulsively and ruin her overall grand plan.
At a critical moment, she had to personally intervene.
When she learned that Cloud was engaged in a firefight with the largest organization in Khebury, she hesitated but ultimately
decided to take charge. She couldn't afford any mistakes in Khebury.
Athena brought her trusted subordinates and left the seaside villa in the middle of the night.
She left behind a few people to guard the villa.

Meanwhile, Luther finally got the chance he had been waiting for. He stood up abruptly and began to take action.
First, he used the electromagnetic pulse metal rod that Joyce had given him.
The true power of this metal rod lay in its ability to emit electromagnetic pulses, causing circuit malfunctions, interruptions in
shortwave communication, burning out fuses, breaking down insulation layers, shutting down wireless control devices, and
disabling alarm control systems within a radius of a hundred meters.
Originally, Joyce had given it to him for self-defense.
But clearly, now was the tfor this metal rod to be put to its greatest use.
As all the electrical appliances around him malfunctioned and even the lights went out, the entire seaside villa fell into silent
darkness.
Luther swiftly dealt with the remaining guards.
Next, he picked up the sleeping Alisha from the bed and carried her to the passenger seat of the car, fastening her seatbelt.
He drove straight to the South City Abandoned School.
After driving for less than ten kilometers, he abandoned the car on the roadside and switched to another vehicle that Aaron had
prepared in advance. This way, he could effectively avoid satellite tracking.
While changing the car, Luther carried Alisha to the other vehicle, making snoise in the process.
This caused Alisha to wake up from her sleep.
She opened her eyes and found herself lying in a strange car. She rubbed her eyes and sat up, feeling a bit scared.
Luther started the car and glanced at Alisha, noticing that she had awakened.
He reached out and gently comforted her. "Awake? Go back to sleep."
Alisha looked around and, when she saw Luther, she felt a bit relieved. She still felt a hint of fear. "Daddy, where are you taking me
in the middle of the night? What about Mommy? Why isn't she with us?"
This fear stemmed from instinct because Athena often instilled in her the idea of being wary of Daddy secretly taking her away,
and then she would never see Mommy again.
And the current situation made Alisha cautious.
Luther patted Alisha's shoulder gently. "Alisha, Daddy is taking you to see a doctor. You might need a small surgery, but after this
treatment, you will fully recover. Don't be afraid of the pain, there will be anesthesia, and you won't feel a thing. Daddy will be by
your side the whole time."
Alisha looked around, feeling slightly relieved when she saw Luther. However, she still felt a hint of fear. "Daddy, why is the surgery
being done at night? Why can't Mommy be with me? | want Mommy."
Luther took a deep breath.
This operation was indeed too rushed. The preparations were not sufficient, and the main obstacle was that he couldn't sever
Alisha's dependence on Athena. It took time, but he didn't have time.
The opportunity to use Alisha's injury caused by Athena's whip was a good opportunity to exploit, but he missed it due to the
urgent deployment. He failed to magnify the impact of this event in Alisha's mind, leading to fear, anxiety, and even a desire to
escape from Athena.
Instead, becauseof his haste, he could clearly feel that it had backfired on Alisha.
At least, now he could sense a hint of wariness from Alisha's gaze.
This was not a good start.
However, his physical condition didn't allow him to delay.

Missing this deployment already alerted the enemy.
To gain another opportunity in the future would be as difficult as climbing to the heavens.
Regardless of whether Alisha resisted or accepted, tonight he must remove the detonator from her body.
Luther attempted to explain, "Alisha, she's busy. She knows you're going for surgery. After your surgery, she will cand see
you."
"That's impossible! Daddy, you're lying to me!" Alisha suddenly becagitated. She tried to undo her seatbelt but couldn't figure
out how to release the latch. She becrestless in the car.
"You're takingaway, so I'll never see Mommy again. | know! You want to be with another woman and don't want Mommy
anymore! Waaah!" Alisha cried and kicked her legs, causing a ruckus in the car.
Luther helplessly pressed his temples. If this continued, and Alisha refused to cooperate, the success of the surgery would be
uncertain.
He hadn't expected Alisha to be so sensitive and perceptive. She was indeed intelligent and had quickly guessed his intentions.
Given the short the had spent with Alisha, he hadn't been able to gain her complete trust and dependence. He knew it wasn't
