After an entire night of preparations, General Howard's aide informed him that all the soldiers were ready.
"General, everyone is fully prepared! We can commence the operation at any moment!"
Howard nodded expressionlessly.
"You all have done exceptionally well, your speed of action has exceeded my expectations by a considerable margin. I will reach out to Jeremy and the others as soon as possible."
With those words, Howard promptly exited the office.
His first call was to Benjamin.
"I have made all the necessary preparations on my end, your subordinates should be able to accompany me in the operation, correct?" Howard inquired, as he was quite familiar with Benjamin and felt no need for pleasantries.
Benjamin replied, his voice tinged with fatigue.
"My subordinates are fully prepared, they have already assembled at the gymnasium. If you wish to commence your plan immediately, I will give them direct orders."
