Although the number of bridesmaids and groomsmen doesn't need to be balanced, and there's no limit on the quantity, the fact that none have been arranged yet is the real trouble, since the bridesmaids' dresses are already in the custom process. If the groomsmen aren't settled, it's uncertain how to handle things later on.

Actually, the groomsmen's attire is relatively easy to take care of; with money, suits are easy to arrange. However, you need to decide in advance because measuring and tailoring takes time.

The next day at work, Jimmy quickly received a call from Mahong. They had already finished their communication on that end, and Falcknei agreed. He had arranged for two bodyguards, and once they were in place, they could plan to set out.

Mahong also made arrangements on his side; a support team of agents had already been contacted in advance. When they started the operation, the support agents would wait in a nearby block, ready to assist at any moment.

Last time, being approached from behind was a bit excessive, so this time Mahong and his team definitely wouldn't act alone.

In the afternoon, Jimmy and his group finally moved out. This time Falcknei intended to appear more cautious, even using a newly purchased disposable phone to contact and arrange a meeting with two people in the afternoon. The agreed time and location were not close, requiring considerable time to cover both places. This also made it easier for anyone tracking him to follow, and it helped to determine which channel had leaked information.

Jimmy drove behind Falcknei's car, stopping at the entrance to a gallery. Falcknei's two temporary bodyguards got out, looked around to ensure there were no issues, and then had him get out to enter the gallery.

Jimmy stayed in the car watching. Inside the gallery, Falcknei talked with someone for a while, then turned and left. During this time, Jimmy didn't notice any suspicious people or vehicles on the road.

Mahong's team followed behind Jimmy in a surveillance vehicle; everyone's walkie-talkie was adjusted to the same frequency for easy communication. Watching Falcknei leave the gallery, Jimmy immediately notified Mahong's team to start following.

After driving a short distance, Mahong's message came through: "Jimmy, there's a car that's been following us for several streets now; keep an eye out, it might be tailing us."

Jimmy: "I understand, stay alert, and all of you put on your bullet-proof vests. By the way, notify Falcknei to at least be prepared."

Mahong: "Let's wait a bit more; we're investigating that car, checking out the situation."

Jimmy: "Okay, keep in touch."

Jimmy turned to glance behind; there were quite a few cars on the road, making it difficult to identify who was following them. If someone started tracking from here, it would indicate that the gallery was compromised.

The second meeting wasn't at a place like the gallery, but at a warehouse. As the middleman, a portion of the goods was stored here, and this time it was about picking up the goods for sale to recoup some costs.

Jimmy didn't follow Falcknei into the warehouse; instead, he parked at a location distant from the warehouse, keeping an eye on it using Heart Eye Vision.

Mahong reported that the previous car had turned and left, so they had to continue waiting. However, they didn't wait long before two black SUVs drove over from afar. One parked at the entrance of the warehouse district, while the other drove past Jimmy's car heading towards Falcknei's warehouse.

Jimmy watched the three people in the vehicle: a driver and two seated in the back. It seemed they hoped for a successful kidnapping rather than a deadly ambush.

Jimmy picked up the walkie-talkie: "Mahong, watch the black SUV at the warehouse entrance, I'm going in to have a look."

With the walkie-talkie in his left hand and a Glock drawn in his right, Jimmy stepped out silently approaching the warehouse. The black SUV didn't act immediately but stopped in front of another warehouse. As Falcknei and his two bodyguards came out, the SUV charged forward; "bang bang bang bang", several gunshots followed, and both of Falcknei's bodyguards were shot. They only had time to draw their guns and fire a couple of shots before collapsing.

The SUV's side door opened as gunfire erupted, and Falcknei had already ducked to run to one side. Now the SUV was following right behind him.

A person in the rear seat leaned out, trying to grab Falcknei. "Bang," Jimmy sprinted over, fired two shots at the SUV; one hit the person's arm, the other struck the right rear wheel. Even while moving, Jimmy had precision at this distance.

This time, their aim was to lure, not to kill. Jimmy refrained from shooting at those inside the car; whether driver or the two in the backseat, they were significant clues, capturing them alive was best.

When the SUV passed, Falcknei dived to the other side, evading the grasping hand from the car. He rolled over twice, landing against the warehouse wall.

Following Jimmy's gunfire, the SUV stopped quickly; all three, including the driver, got out. The one who exited from the left side mid-row used the SUV body for cover, firing at Jimmy who was running over, though his aim was far inferior. The driver and the one who got out from the right rushed toward Falcknei, who hadn't risen yet, intending to forcibly take him away.

Seeing the left side person shooting at him, Jimmy could only dodge for now. He wasn't one of those possessed by Chaos Gate entities, who could block bullets with their bodies, nor could he outright kill them, so he had to evade first.

Targeting the shooter's hand holding the gun on the SUV's left side, Jimmy fired two shots consecutively. The bullets hit the pistol and the shooter's right hand, knocking the firearm out of his hand. In pain, the shooter ducked beside the car, avoiding Jimmy's line of fire.

Once assured the left-side shooter was neutralized, Jimmy immediately shifted his focus to the two on the right going after Falcknei. This time, with no cover, Jimmy aimed at their legs. The Glock rapidly fired, unleashing a flurry of bullets at their leg positions.

Hitting the legs of two quickly running people was challenging, but Jimmy had no choice but to rely on quantity, fortunately, the Glock had enough bullets. By emptying the magazine, he finally incapacitated both.

The unfortunate fellow seated in the middle row was truly unlucky; first, his right arm was shot, now his leg was hit too, causing him to collapse and roll on the ground due to forward inertia. As for the driver, only his leg got shot. He staggered, struggling to maintain his running posture, awkwardly lunging toward Falcknei, who was collapsed at the wall corner.

Falcknei, gritting his teeth, engaged in a clearly untrained brawl on the ground with the driver, trying hard to break free of the grasp. The man with the shot arm also drew a pistol with his left hand, shooting blindly at Jimmy's direction, clearly unable to aim properly.

Jimmy didn't wait further; with Falcknei and the driver grappling on the ground, both armed, anything could happen. If they fired amidst the struggle, capturing anyone alive was uncertain, or Falcknei might meet his end then and there.

Exchanging for a spare magazine, Jimmy rose from cover, fired two suppressive shots at the person hiding on the SUV's left side, then turned his aim to the fallen guy, firing a shot to disarm his left-hand-held pistol. Only Jimmy could pull this off, while anyone else, like Mahong, would've probably started suppressive fire and called for backup by now.

Upon hearing gunfire, Mahong and Mark were already prepared, donned bullet-proof vests, and exited with Glocks. They looped around, approaching the lookout SUV from the side. However, they underestimated the lookout's alertness. Just nearing, "bang bang bang" gunfire sounded, immediately followed by the SUV starting with a big turn, departing the warehouse area.
