My Perfect Female CEO

Under the night, Charles led twenty men to appear outside where Ye Fan and others were, revealing a chilling intent to kill.

This lineup was undeniably strong, any one of them was comparable to the individual prowess of Peng Bird and the others.

The ten elite fighters under Namie’s command were just as strong, all top-notch experts.

Charles doesn’t make a move often, but when he does, the lineup is formidable indeed.

Charles led these men with careful planning and strategic calculations, given their prowess, two could surround one with ease; thus, once they act, they could completely crush Elder Zuo’s group.

Charles and Elder Zuo were both first-class experts, only slightly inferior to Ye Fan; the strength of those around them was comparable to that of Zhang Lu and others. It’s predictable that if Charles and Elder Zuo were to confront each other, Elder Zuo would certainly be at a disadvantage.

If Charles just surrounds Elder Zuo with a few of his subordinates, Elder Zuo would be cornered and helpless.

If the battle proceeds favorably, it wouldn’t be hard to annihilate Elder Zuo and the others, though it would require a certain sacrifice.

After all, Elder Zuo and his nine companions were not ordinary people, and it wouldn’t be easy to massacre them.

From Charles’s actions, it’s evident how determined he is to obtain the map fragment, reflecting the immense strength.

The imminent battle was destined to bring unexpected twists.

Ye Fan’s addition of seven men weakened Charles’s numerical advantage; once the killing began, Ye Fan would crush the opposition with unparalleled might, leading to severe losses for Charles and his men—this was obvious.

As long as Ye Fan made a move, he would push Charles and his men to the brink of death.

This ambush was set specifically for Charles and his men. Once they stepped in, it would be incredibly difficult to escape.

Charles and his men hid thoroughly, continuously observing the situation, waiting for the perfect moment to act.

This time, Ye Fan’s tactic of luring them out worked well; the enemy was finally taking the bait.

"What’s the situation?" Charles asked patiently, his eyes cold, as he looked at a subordinate nearby.

This subordinate had been monitoring this place, any slight movement would prompt Charles to make judgments.

The surveillance results showed no issues, which led Charles and his men to launch their attack.

Even with this knowledge, Charles remained cautious, his nerves tightly strained.

"Everything’s normal. Since Elder Zuo and Peng Bird moved in here, they haven’t left," the subordinate reported, "Clearly this is a pre-prepared hideout, and after moving in, they don’t intend to appear again."

"Do they think hiding in a shell makes them safe?" someone sneered, "It’s quite laughable."

"Looks like Elder Zuo and his companions scored with the map fragment and now plan to stay low and find a buyer for it or use it as a bargaining chip." Charles sneered, "Unfortunately, every move of Elder Zuo is under our surveillance, proving all our previous efforts weren’t in vain. We’re finally reaping rewards now."

Charles and Clive laid out plans ahead of time, monitoring everyone involved, making it easy to discern Elder Zuo’s identity and actions, demonstrating how vast their strategic calculations were.

No amount of planning can outsmart human design, and Clive and Charles never imagined the map fragment was fake.

Nor did they foresee this was a trap meticulously laid by Ye Fan.

"Attack! Rush in with overwhelming force and solve all enemies, then retrieve the map fragment," someone said.

Those around Charles looked at him, waiting for his decision.

"Why do I feel it’s a bit too quiet, quiet enough to unsettle?" Charles looked at the building ahead, puzzled, "I keep feeling something’s off; years of experience and instincts tell me something’s about to go wrong."

"Thinking too much?" a subordinate asked, puzzled, "Everything is within our expectations and surveillance; how could there be issues? Is there a trap?"

Talk of a trap was purely nonsense, implying sarcasm, as no one believed it was possible.

Given what they understood about Elder Zuo and others’ capabilities, it was impossible for them to have a backup plan.

"Anyway, let’s investigate and be sure." An eager subordinate suggested, "How about I take some men and probe?"

"No need. Seems like I was overthinking, being too timid." Charles considered briefly before speaking, recalling past events and results from surveillance on Elder Zuo and Peng Bird indicated there wouldn’t be any issues.

Hence, there’s no need to bother probing, it would not only waste time but might alert Elder Zuo, causing the enemy to escape—a major hassle.

The goal was to quickly surround the enemy, denying Elder Zuo any chance to breathe, hence ensuring nobody escapes.

Any unforeseen incidents leading to Elder Zuo’s escape would jeopardize the entire operation.

"Attack, execute the plan, hold back all the enemies once the battle begins, don’t let anyone escape!" Charles commanded coldly; with the order given, everyone sprang into action.

Over twenty men streamed in, charging towards Elder Zuo and his men.

With the door kicked open, inside the spacious hall, the fierce killing aura erupted from Charles’s team instantly filled the space.

Elder Zuo, Peng Bird, and others were startled awake, reacting swiftly to face off against Charles’s team.

"Finally, they’re here," Peng Bird murmured excitedly.

"Yes, they’ve finally come," Elder Zuo smiled calmly.

"What a powerful lineup, such fierce aura," Peng Bird marveled.

"Indeed, had we not planned ahead, it would be difficult to escape their lethal pursuit; when these guys make a move, the intent is terrifying," Elder Zuo murmured.

They had been waiting for this eventuality, now that it’s happening, their anticipation made them notably relaxed.

At least they were relieved from the agony of waiting for the enemy; the sooner they come, the better.

George and Mountain Ghost bore peculiar expressions as well.

Elder Zuo and Peng Bird were at the forefront, George and Mountain Ghost stood behind, the tense atmosphere took a bizarre turn.

Charles and his men were arrogantly confident.

Elder Zuo and his men displayed a demeanor begging for a beating; this instantly stirred a sense of unease in Charles, darkening his expression.
