Ashton's team was making good progress, taking down enemy after enemy as they made their way closer to the bank's entrance. However, just as they were about to reach their objective, things suddenly turned for the worse.
A loud explosion shook the ground beneath them, and Ashton's team was thrown off balance. The blast had come from a nearby building, taking out a large portion of the street in front of the bank.
Dozens of gangsters were also killed in the explosion, but it didn't seem like anyone cared about them.
Law enforcement couldn't reach the gangsters anymore. The gangsters were overjoyed. As long as they took care of the Ghosts, no one could stop them.
"Fucking hell..."
Ashton quickly assessed the situation, realising they had stumbled into a trap. The enemy had planned for their arrival and had set up a series of explosives to take them out.
"Fall back, fall back!" Ashton shouted into his earpiece, his voice urgent.
