Chapter 499

Once their identities were set, disguising themselves wasn’t too difficult. Except for V, who agonized over the choice and ultimately settled on a loose, unisex outfit, the rest of the team easily slipped into the roles of Maine’s crew. Even Oliver, who was posing as Pilar with his cybernetic arm, simply attached a prosthetic device over his own hand.

Karl’s squad and Maine’s were already familiar with each other’s appearances and gear, which helped tremendously. Without that familiarity, their impersonations might have had flaws. But with the disguises complete, unless someone knew Maine’s crew personally, it would be almost impossible to notice any discrepancies.

Since the Voodoo Boys were known to use hacking to vet mercenaries ahead of time, Karl had Andy and the others alter their movement records in the NCPD database. Unless the Voodoo Boys managed to break into NCPD’s systems and inspect the change logs, the only thing they’d see was that Maine’s crew had recently completed a job and were currently idle—perfectly aligning with the ruse.
