Jimmy placed his cellphone and personal firearm aside, instead arming himself with training weapons and protective gear before taking the lead into the building. Jimmy already had a clear view of the interior, and as part of the kidnapper's side, his location wasn't fixed—he just had to be somewhere in the building to eliminate them all.

An outside gunshot marked the beginning of the exercise. Paul's team consisted of six operators, a half-squad, approaching the building's lower corner from the side. This tactic was more prudent than the support squad from New York, choosing to directly rush into the building with shields up front.

They advanced to the main door in a crouched position around the corner of the wall. Jimmy was on the second floor at the staircase, but there was no need to ambush them at the entrance—at least let them come inside. The staircase had two landings, and it wasn't a problem for Jimmy to block one with a Glock from the second floor.

Jimmy's position hadn't been reported in advance. Paul arranged two men to guard the staircase and ensure safety, while the others conducted a quick search of the first floor before gathering at the stairs, ready to ascend.

Sticking to the wall, the lead operator's barrel first pointed towards the half-landing, then he raised it towards the second-floor landing, with the people behind following suit, stepping up and turning to cover the second floor as well. This pattern of ascending made Jimmy give up the idea of shooting downward from the second-floor landing.

Jimmy was armed with a Glock, while Paul and his team had rifles. There was a wide discrepancy in power and ammunition. When selecting equipment, Jimmy didn't opt for full gear because, as a kidnapper, he wouldn't normally use a rifle—a handgun was the standard weapon.

Jimmy moved back slightly to the doorway of an adjacent room, thinking if he could "kill" one or two in an ambush here, the pressure would be much less.

Without showing himself, Jimmy watched them ascend the stairs. When the first person turned left and another turned right to ensure the corridor was clear, they reached the second floor. The remaining members followed, with two covering the rear while the others aimed towards Jimmy's direction as they proceeded down the corridor. They only began to move forward once everyone was in position and received a pat on the shoulder from the person behind.

Cautious and professional—that's why they were moving very slowly.

Without waiting any longer, Jimmy extended his hand from the door frame and started shooting, dropping the first two in front. He hadn't even revealed himself in the hallway. Paul's team immediately fired at the position of Jimmy's room, but since these were training rounds, they didn't penetrate the walls of the doorway, and Jimmy, having retreated quickly, wasn't hit at all.

The training used rubber bullets, and everyone wore bulletproof helmets with transparent plastic face guards that didn't impair breathing or visibility but could block the rubber bullets, preventing any real danger. Therefore, Jimmy aimed for the head, with a single shot signifying the opponent's elimination from the exercise.

The two who were hit had already exited the fight. They set down their rifles, turned around, and walked to the back, observing the exercise from the staircase entrance.

Paul's team aimed at the door, inching closer, successfully reaching beside it. Jimmy didn't give them many chances. As they moved their gun barrels, he fired. Jimmy's reaction speed was incredibly fast. As they slowly adjusted their aim, Jimmy realized he could shoot faster than Paul's team, and that determined who got hit.

Of course, after Jimmy shot, his position was targeted by those remaining. This was the advantage of having quick reflexes. Jimmy didn't get greedy; after two shots, he immediately retreated, and all their bullets missed.

Jimmy was exploiting the fact that Paul's team hadn't come prepared with grenades or flashbangs for the exercise. As long as it was a gunfight, his reflex speed and current neural-matching movements ensured that as long as he wasn't greedy, he could always shoot and return first.

Without having faced each other yet, Paul's side had already "died," four down with only two left. Their morale shattered, they directly started short bursts around the corner where Jimmy had just hidden, slowly advancing toward it.

Jimmy didn't wait for them at the corner but moved into a small room inside, which would typically be a bedroom in a regular house.

Lying on the ground with his gun aimed diagonally upward, he waited until the two were about to peek around the corner, gave a kick off the ground, sliding his body a bit outward so his gun could target them, and then shot.

Last time, when Jimmy eliminated the school shooter, this was how he did it. But since he needed to cover more distance to get into the classroom, he didn't start lying down; the slide on the ground came after gaining speed. This time, there was no need for such tactics. Just laying on the ground allowed him to avoid their line of fire; this was a typical blind spot in one's thinking.

With this, all six were wiped out. Paul had already been "killed" at the door, and now he watched helplessly as his subordinates were taken down without raising an iota of protest.

Jimmy's shooting was incredibly fast. As soon as they spotted the barrel of his gun, they were already hit. Speed, reaction, and accuracy—Jimmy had it all, plus that final blind spot from shooting from the ground, giving them slower reactions. Having carried out so many operations, none of them had used such a shooting method.

Paul's team set their rifles aside, slung their straps over themselves, and converged in the room. Paul said, "I surrender, Jimmy, your way of fighting is truly unexpected."
