After they reached the base, they got the full details of the case from Benedict.
The real mission was about to begin.
The video call ended.
Benedict sat in a chair with his legs crossed, spinning slowly with a little smile on his lips. Nobody knew what he was thinking.

Wesley leaned against the wall with his arms crossed. Seeing Benedict’s strange expression, he let out a sigh. “Benedict, don’t tell me you’re cooking up another bad idea.”
“What are you talking about? Wesley, please give me some respect. I’m doing this for Cetherland’s future. How can you call it a bad idea?
“Are you really okay letting so much talent in Comet Squad slip away?”
“I … of course I’m not okay with it. But they want total freedom. What can I do?”
“If something goes wrong, we can’t take the blame. Once they officially become a national task force, with the right access, they’ll be able to use the country’s info servers!”
For once, Wesley’s baby face showed a troubled look.
I’d rather just stay up all night coding.
At least coding was easier at his age.
It was still less of a headache than dealing with Comet Squad.
“You’re worried they might betray the country, so you plan to block that risk by refusing their demand. That makes sense,” Benedict said.
“But think the other way. If a squad this powerful ends up under another country, they’ll become our worst enemy.
“After the Hotel Morloss mission, Endralsia already knows Queen led her squad. They’ll definitely try to recruit them.
“And not just Endralsia. Other nations will soon learn about Comet Squad and use all kinds of tricks.
“In the end, we’re still betting on this squad’s loyalty to the country, aren’t we?”

Chapter 402 Bad Idea
Benedict flipped through Comet Squad’s profiles.
He tapped Tilda’s photo lightly with his finger.
Wesley tugged at his hair in frustration.
“This isn’t even my job. I’m just a coder and manager.
“You shoved this on me … damn it! You must’ve already planned how to deal with Comet Squad, right?”

“Don’t be silly. I haven’t decided. This squad is stronger than even us brothers. If we slip up, the damage will be beyond repair.
“That’s why I set up this trial. Wesley, you need to give them the Rosales Foundation’s intel. Have them finish the mission within a single day.”
Wesley froze.
The Rosales Foundation’s intel?
Isn’t that…
They locked eyes. In that moment, Wesley seemed to understand.
