It's time

Under Tazja's directions, Leo made his way to the outskirts of the city, bringing with him five elites from La Rose Noire as well as Alexa and Carlos in case Shera needed medical help. 

Alexa was baffled by this arrangement. "We may not be able to win a battle even with a hundred elites, yet we are only bringing five? Aren't you underestimating the enemy a little too much?" 

"A little? Way too much!" Carlos couldn't understand what his friend was thinking either. 

Seeing their concerned looks, he merely smiled mysteriously. "Obviously, I wouldn't mess up when going to rescue my wife." 

Alexa blinked and entered the car silently. She could at least trust this man's love for Shera. Whatever he was planning, they would know later. 

Carlos looked confused as well. 

Leo entered the minivan and turned his laptop on as he said, "While we cannot win a battle of strength, there is still a battle of wits and a battle of shamelessness."
