Janieâs face flushed crimson at the mere utterance of that sentence while Benjamin lowered his head, embarrassed.
Waylon retrieved a packet of medicine from his pocket containing only one solitary pill.
âOnce you take this, youâll be fine. After that, have the doctor evaluate you, and you should be able to leave the hospital.â
Having taken the pill. Benjamin passed it to Janie and went on to prepare a glass of warm water for her.
Janie crushed the pill between her teeth before swallowing it.
Waylon spoke softly to her, âI trust you to keep this a secret for me, alright?â
With a reassuring smile and a nod, Janie responded, âI understand, Mr. Waylon. Donât worry.â
Once Abel and Waylon departed, Benjamin requested the doctor to reexamine Janic.
All of Janieâs vital signs showed no abnormalities, leaving the doctor perplexed, yet no questions were raised, and so Janie was cleared for release from the hospital just like that.
Stealthily, under the cloak of night, Oseaâs mercenaries and their arsenals made their clandestine arrival at midnight.
The mercenaries and their arsenal gathered in the basement of The Precipice.
Abel did as he did on his previous covert rescue mission at the Imperial Palaceâhe displayed the floor plan of the Imperial Palace and briefed the mercenaries on the layout of each location, this time doing so. in Spanish.
âThis is Section G, a heavily guarded location within the Imperial Palace. The top floor contains the living quarters of the club owner. Emmeline was previously held captive in this area, but our current intel is limited. You must know that the Imperial Palace is the largest entertainment and leisure complex in Struyria.â
Benjamin emphasized, âGiven the substantial daily inflix of patrons, our actions must be swift and precise while ensuring the safety of innocent bystanders. Any unnecessary involvement of civilians must be avoided at all costs. If the police are alerted and dispatched, the situation will rapidly escalate beyond our control.â
Abel followed up, stating, âTherefore, our optimal course of action is to infiltrate the Imperial Palace and gather intelligence on the targetâs whereabouts prior to taking any further steps. This will enable us to plan and execute our operation more effectively.â
âThen, who would be the most suitable candidate to conduct the reconnaissance?â Benjamin inquired. -
Tll handle it,â Abel asserted. âI am wellâacquainted with the layouts of the Imperial Palace.â
âConsidering the high risk involved, it may not be wise for you to take on the task, Abel. Who on earth in Struyria does not know who Mr. Abel is?â
Abel suggested, âI can assume the guise of a woman. Even if my cover is blown, it would be less likely to raise immediate suspicion.â
Benjamin couldnât help but laugh. âA man disguised as a woman? Abel, youâre over six feet tall!â
Waylon joined in the laughter and added, âThis woman is exceptionally tall!â
âHow about I go instead?â Benjamin said.
Abel pouted and retorted, âYou? How much shorter are you compared to me, barely over six feet tall?â
Benjamin was left speechless by Abelâs response.
âThis is indeed a predicament,â remarked Waylon, who happened to be the same height as Benjamin.
âSpeaking in Struyrian, the trio carried on a heated debate, paying little heed to the foreign mercenaries who stood nearby. The mercenaries, unable to understand their words, watched intently as the three expressed their views through animated facial expressions.â
Abel had a sudden burst of inspiration. âI can transform myself into a blonde!â he exclaimed. âA blonde supermodel, to be exact!â
âWell, you certainly have the height for it,â Benjamin remarked, âAt six feet, youâre practically reaching the ceiling already.â
Waylon stated, âLetâs just make do with that. Frankly, Iâd feel uneasy about assigning this task to someone else.â
âItâs settled then,â Abel said to Benjamin. âAs soon as day breaks, find a makeup artist who can assist me with my disguise!â
After contemplating for a moment, Benjamin reached but to the makeup artist from Adelmar Studios.
Following that, he quickly got in touch with a tailor specializing in customâmade clothing and placed an urgent overnight order for a long dress tailored specifically for Abel.
The following morning, the makeup artist arrived and began transforming Abelâs appearance.
The tailorâs customâmade long dress was also delivered.
Abel tried on the dress, and it fit perfectly.
Upon seeing Abel in the dress, Benjamin and Waylon couldnât hold back their laughter. The sight of the tall and imposing man transformed into a graceful woman was a comical contrast, although the proportions seemed a bit off.
After more than three hours, the makeup artist finally finished applying the makeup, completing Abelâs transformation.
With a head adorned by voluminous, blonde, curly hair, Abel donned a maxi dress that gracefully fell to his ankles. The final touch was the striking shade of flaming red on his lips, bringing forth the emergence of a blonde supermodel as if freshly baked and ready to take the world by storm.
It was a sight that left everyone speechless, as its sheer magnificence nearly overwhelmed their senses.
Waylon and Benjamin observed Abelâs transformed appearance, managing to suppress their laughter.
However, both of them agreed that the result was impressive and wellâexecuted.
Once everything was in order, Abel drove himself to the Imperial Palace.
Benjamin and Waylon, along with their troops, took up positions in the underground parking lot of the Imperial Palace, prepared to launch an ambush.
Abel rode the elevator from the underground car park to Section Câan area recognized throughout the Imperial Palace for its female escort services.
Immediately upon stepping out of the elevator, Abel found himself faceâtoâface with a man clutching at female escort in his embrace.
Enchanted by the sight of the stunning and captivating Abel, the man instinctively let go of the female escort in his arms.
âHoly shit! What an astonishingly beautiful blonde girl the man exclaimed in awe.
The man, filled with desire like a hungry tiger, lunged toward Abelâ¦
