Mikhail's men reached the edge of the mansion's outer grounds without making a single sound.
The main structure rose ahead of them, elegant but they knew danger was inside. Everyone here knew the kind of secrets a polished building like this could hide.
"Me, Johan, and Albert will get inside the mansion." Their leader Noah said with a serious tone, "The rest will guard the perimeter and make a way for us to escape if something bad happens."
"Keep alert. This is the Leopard's den and all of us know how meticulous that man can be."
All the men nodded in agreement. They then go already disappearing into the forest toward his own route, leaving the external perimeter to four men.
Noah and his men approached the mansion's side entrance, stepping lightly across the trimmed grass.
Their rifles stayed lowered, not out of comfort but to avoid creating unnecessary silhouettes in the floodlights.
