They had to rely solely on the element of surprise to give them the decisive edge.
Now that Ves discovered their presence, his assassins lost this advantage. What was even better for him was that the potential assailants didn't know that they'd been discovered! With Lucky's stealth, signal-tracking and phasing capabilities, they had no way of guarding against such a perverse cat!
"Good boy!" Ves hugged Lucky in order to show his gratitude. "I'll be needing you again, though. Are you ready to put your claws to use?"
"Meow!"
"Okay, okay, I'll be sure to give you a reward!"
