Chapter 696 - Chapter 695: It’s complicated

Tony drove to his target location and parked on a different street. His target was a villa. Arriving outside the villa, Tony climbed a tall tree and used binoculars to observe the positions and patrol routes of the guards.

 

After confirming the guards' positions and their lines of sight, Tony moved to a section of the outer wall.

 

With a single leap, he scaled the high wall and quickly made his way to a stone staircase. He spotted a guard with his back turned and threw a stone lock to knock him down, causing the guard to hit his head on the steps and pass out instantly.

 

Tony then approached another guard and shot him in the neck with a nail gun, the sound barely audible. The shot didn't kill the guard, so Tony finished him off with a punch to the temple.

 

At that moment, another guard approached to assist and tried to attack Tony from behind. Tony spun around, grabbed the guard's arm, and used a stun gun to knock him out.

 

After dealing with three guards, Tony continued towards the villa.

 

On a narrow path, he saw two guards standing back-to-back. Tony threw a homemade bomb that rolled between them. When one of the guards picked it up, it exploded, killing him instantly.

 

The other guard reached for his gun, but Tony appeared and shot him multiple times with the nail gun, pushing him into a pond and throwing another bomb to ensure the job was done.

 

"Bang!"

 

After taking out the two guards, Tony's nail gun was out of ammo. He tossed it into a flower bed and proceeded towards the villa.

 

With Killian having deployed all his elite troops, the remaining guards at the estate were mostly mercenaries, who were no match for Tony.

 

Tony quickly infiltrated the villa and observed the staircase just inside the entrance. After a brief moment of consideration, he chose a direction and proceeded.

 

He soon heard a woman's voice coming from one direction and followed it. Tony entered the room from which the sound came and saw a guard sitting on a chair with his back to Tony, and a drunken dancer lying on a sofa.

 

Tony used his stun glove to take down the guard and took the gun the guard had left on the table. The drunken dancer, oblivious to the danger, playfully mimicked shooting a gun at Tony. Tony signaled her to stay quiet and moved on.

 

He quietly pushed open another door and checked the room, removing his stun gloves. He found a computer with numerous photos and videos related to the Ten Rings and the Mandarin, along with filming equipment.

 

As he carefully moved forward, Tony noticed that the surroundings looked exactly like the backgrounds in the videos he had seen. This made him even more cautious.

 

Continuing inside, Tony spotted a large bed with two figures under the covers. He cautiously approached, holding his gun ready and prepared to shoot at any moment. With one hand holding the gun, he used the other to pull back the blanket.

 

"Swish!"

 

Under the blanket were two voluptuous women in lingerie. They were startled by Tony's presence. Before Tony could say anything, the sound of a toilet flushing came from behind him. Tony quickly turned and hid behind the bed's headboard.

 

The Mandarin walked out of the bathroom and said, "Ha, ha, ha, I won't be going back in there for another 20 minutes."

 

He then looked at the two women on the bed and asked, "Which one of you is Vanessa?"

 

One of the women responded, "That's me."

 

The Mandarin walked to a table, picked up a fortune cookie, and tossed it to Vanessa.

 

"Oh, Vanessa. Did you know that fortune cookies are not a Chinese invention? They were made by Americans based on a Japanese recipe."

 

Watching Mandarin, Tony noticed that his voice didn't match the one he had seen on TV. It didn't sound like the same person at all.

 

One of the women on the bed pointed to the headboard and said, "There's someone hiding here."

 

Tony emerged with his gun pointed at the Mandarin and shouted, "Hey!"

 

The Mandarin raised his hands in surrender and said, "Oh no, oh no."

 

Tony aimed his gun and sternly said, "Don't move."

 

Mandarin replied, "I'm not moving. Take whatever you want. Just so you know, all these guns are fake because those idiots don't trust me with real ones."

 

Tony was puzzled. "What?"

 

Mandarin continued, "Hey, do you like these girls?"

 

Tony interrupted, "Enough. You're a decoy, aren't you? Where's the real Mandarin?"

 

Tony didn't believe this person was the true Mandarin. He had heard Charles Doyle talk about the real Ten Rings organization.

 

Tony angrily demanded, "Where's the Mandarin? Where is he?"

 

Terrified, the fake Mandarin sat down on a chair and pointed to himself, saying, "He's here, but he's also not here. Here, but not here."

 

Tony stepped closer, gun aimed at the man's head, and asked, "What do you mean?"

 

Mandarin raised a finger and said, "It's complicated, hard to explain."

 

Tony shouted, "Speak!"

 

"It's really complicated."

 

Tony glanced at the two women on the bed and said, "Explain it clearly. Ladies, please leave. Get off the bed and go to the bathroom."

 

Tony watched as the women moved to the bathroom, making sure they were out of the way.

 

During this time, Mandarin tried to sneak off the chair and crawl away. Seeing this, Tony fired a shot into the ground.

 

"Bang!"
