Chapter 17 — Direct Admission Was Robbed, I Made My Daughter World Champion

“She bought some dry bread.”

“A pitcher of water.”

“And a wood chopping knife.”

Old K pointed to the corner of the photo. A knife wrapped in newspaper, only the handle showing.

“She did not use any means of transportation.”

“If you choose to walk…”

“Deep into the primeval mountains.”

“She is very smart.”

“Or you could say…”

“Very crazy.”

“She knows that major roads and villages have cameras.”

“So choose the most primitive way…”

“And also the hardest to track down.”

“She's fighting us patiently.”

I looked at the vast primeval forest on the map.

“A woman used to living in luxury…”

“Without any survival experience…”

“But I want to walk through one hundred and fifty kilometers of primeval mountains and forests…”

“Her physical strength cannot last too long.”

“The only remaining advantage…”

“It is life-defying madness.”

“She is definitely hungry right now…”

“Like a dying animal.”

“But before wild animals die…”

“It's the scariest thing.”

I stood up and walked to the window. Look at Chu Niem in the yard playing with the children. She is my only weakness. But it's also my strongest armor.

“I have a plan.”

I turned my head to look at him.

“We cannot continue to passively wait for her to appear.”

“We have to pull her out of the darkness.”

“Tomorrow…”

“The school will organize an outdoor campfire to welcome teacher Chu Niem.”

“Location…”

“It's the empty lawn behind the school.”

Old K's face immediately changed.

“President Tham.”

“Too dangerous.”

“That lawn is next to the forest.”

“The terrain is extremely complex.”

“Very suitable for hiding and ambushing.”

“Take the lady out there…”

“It's no different than throwing a piece of meat into a hungry wolf's mouth.”

“I just want her to think…”

“This is my only chance.”

My eyes were cold to the bone.

“I want her to see hope.”

“Seeing the illusion that…”

“She could easily strike.”

“Only then…”

“That cunning old mouse just crawled out of the hole by himself…”

“Step into the mousetrap we have prepared.”

“You need to set up a bag formation around the woods next to the grass.”

“All snipers.”

“Sedation gun team.”

“All in position.”

“I want to make sure…”

“The moment she appeared until she was controlled…”

“The entire process should not exceed three seconds.”

“And absolutely…”

“Do not let Chu Niem or any other children see the bloody scene.”

Old K looked at me. A flash of respect flashed in his eyes. He was silent for a few seconds. Then nodded strongly.

“Yes, President Tham.”

“Committed to completing the mission.”

Night gradually falls. The wind in the mountains carries a gentle cold breeze. A carefully prepared hunt… About to begin. That prey whose reason has been burned by hatred... Is walking step by step in the dark forest... Moving towards the predetermined destruction. The next afternoon. The fog in the valley gradually dissipated. On the large lawn behind the school... The campfire burned brightly. The children gathered around the fire. Sing ancient folk songs. The firelight reflected on the young face. Clarity. Chu Niem sat among the children. Holding a guitar in his arms. Softly play the guitar to accompany them in singing. The girl is wearing a white dress. Under the firelight... Just like a spirit without dust. Everything is so beautiful that it seems like a painting. But I know… Hidden under that peaceful appearance... Is a deadly murderous aura. I stood on the balcony of the third floor of the teaching area. Hand holding high-quality magnifying binoculars. Observe the entire lawn. Mr. K's voice was clearly transmitted through the tiny headphones.

“President Tham.”

“Everything fell into place.”

“'Eagle's Nest' sniper sites number one and two have perfect visibility.”

“The number one and number two ‘Wolf Pack’ assault teams have ambushed the correct location.”

“Drone ‘Spider Web’ is scanning high-altitude temperatures.”

“Currently, no abnormalities have been detected.”

I didn't reply. Just use binoculars... Slowly scan every inch of the black forest like a beast's mouth outside the grass. I know she's there. Knowing she was hiding in some dark corner... She stared at my daughter with eyes filled with resentment. She is waiting. Wait for the best opportunity. Time passes every second. The atmosphere at the campfire became more and more bustling. The children began to drag Chu Niem along to dance. The child was infected by that enthusiasm. Smile brightly. Holding the children's hands around the fire. Right at that moment. Old K's voice rang out in the headset.

“‘Spider Web’ detected abnormality!”

“Eleven o'clock!”

“Eighty meters from the lawn!”

“A biological heat source was detected behind the big tree!”

“Body temperature and shape match target characteristics!”

I immediately turned my binoculars towards that direction. In the lens. Behind the trunk of a giant banyan tree... A dark shadow passed by. She's here!

“Attention all units!”

Mr. K's voice was cold to the extreme.

“Target appears!”

“Prepare to perform the ‘Net Retrieval’ action!”

“Sniper team locked on target!”

“Assault team prepares to advance!”

But at that moment... The black shadow did not rush towards the grass as we expected.
