Author's notes:
2021-06-01: Hey, I would like to present a short preview of the upcoming chapter of the story. I would want to focus - at least partially - on the thread I have started in the 18th chapter. So, I would like to add a bit more depth to the story and develop side threads a bit more. How will it turn out in the end? I do not know :)
2021-06-09: I know, the chapter is not 10k words long; however I feel like I was able to show a bit more of the depth of the side threads.
I hope you will like it; if not, please tell me what went wrong.
As always, I would like to thank you for everything you have done so far. If you have not been there, I would have not continued posting. Thanks for everything, again. And... see you soon :)

End of author's notes.
The final moments preceding an assault always last what would seem like an eternity. The team's preparation, devotion, and patience are being tested whilst someone above is having the time of their life, laughing at the struggles of mere humans. Honestly, they had been through this before – pff, not even once but multiply times – yet the uneasiness, uncertainty still would be present.
The storm was not planned for today. The forecasts had been checked numerous times to verify that crucial piece of information. Unfortunately, it appeared that they were, in fact, only mere humans with a bit of technology; their forecasts had little power over nature. An entire assault team was being drenched in the rain whilst waiting for the signal.
It came in the form of quiet, barely hearable alert of their watches. The operation 'Blitz' began.
It was 2:25 a.m. before they fully encircled the estate. From their perspective, the manor seemed so peaceful; possibly everyone inside was already sleeping.
"Are you read?" the commander's voice sounded through the earbuds. "I want this operation to be quick and clean; try to open fire only if needed," he stated in his usual emotionless tone.
After that, the team's members began announcing their readiness for action. 60 men, one by one, uttering the same single word; an utter waste of time. Truth be told, it was hard to believe that an entire mercenary group was needed to put down one family.
"Go, approach slowly," the commander ordered.
"Let's get inside as quickly as possible; my clothes are fucking soaked cause of this shitty storm!" Goat cursed through the connection channel.
