Chương 33: Chapter 33: Allies in the Shadows

Maria, a seasoned investigator, began, "The intel you provided has been invaluable. We've identified several key figures and operations, but the Collective's reach is vast. We need to strike strategically and simultaneously to disrupt their network effectively."

James, the MI6 operative, nodded in agreement. "We have the resources and expertise to launch coordinated operations across multiple countries. However, we need precise intelligence and flawless execution. One misstep, and the Collective will vanish into the shadows again."
