Frowning, Marissa queried, "What are you looking for?" At that moment, Xander withdrew six wads of hundred-dollar bills from his bag. He displayed the money to her with a smile. "This! Earlier, it felt good to influence someone with money. I'm going to try it again." galhosts exclusive updates Marissa's lips twitched slightly. She couldn't resist asking, “Why did you bring so much cash on this mission? What's the matter with you?" "Sometimes money can be a powerful tool. I just proved that with the head of security, didn't I?" Xander remarked.
"Idiot!" Marissa couldn't hold back the curse.
With that, she swung open the door and stepped out of the car. Xander, perplexed, followed suit and hurried after her, whispering, "Chief instructor, I haven't dealt with the guards yet. Why did you get out? Aren't you worried about having your identity exposed?" Ignoring his concerns, Marissa pulled out her phone and disabled the surveillance system. Once the cameras were off, she handed Xander a bag of powder and instructed quietly, “Take out those guards.” Xander was still holding six wads of cash in his arms, looking bewildered. "Chief instructor, you mean we're going to knock them out just like that?" Marissa gave him an incredulous look as if she were looking at an idiot. “What else? Were you planning to invite them to dinner and discuss our plane-stealing scheme?" "I didn't mean that," Xander protested.
"Execute the order!" Marissa cut him off before he could finish.

At that moment, Marissa approached. "Chief instructor, what kind of stuff is this? It's strong," Xander asked, astonished.
"Anesthetic," Marissa replied, striding towards the tarmac. "They'll be but for about halfan hour. No tto waste. Let's move!" "Got it!" Xander hurried to catch up with her.
The operation proceeded smoothly.
