Fawkes said calmly, "The Order is a nuisance, so we'd better avoid it as much as possible. {We don't write novels, we're just web text porters - in that regard.} Mercenaries have the advantage of mercenaries, and they are the best. ”

"I hope so. But it seems to me that they don't seem to appreciate this idea of yours very much. The Englishwoman sighed and said, "Maybe we should make other preparations." ”

"No, they'll say yes. Fawkes smiled.

Walking out of the secret headquarters building, Long Noon was silent without saying a word.

"Mr. Long, what do you think?" Lin Rui said tentatively.

"It's tempting, it's dangerous. It's like a desperate investment, winning a lot of money and losing a lot of money. Long Zhengwu sighed and said, "But, throughout my career, I have tried not to face such a choice. Not because I couldn't afford to lose, but because I couldn't gamble with the fate of all the brethren on the Black Isle. ”

"I understand that the reason why they want mercenaries to do this job is to stay out of it. So no matter whether we succeed or fail, we must bear all the consequences. Lin Rui nodded.

"The result of this mission is nothing more than two. Either we kill the Grand Duke, or we miss. And these two results will put the entire Black Island Company on the cusp. The secret society is retaliating like crazy, and we will face unprecedented pressure. Even with the support promised by Fox, I am afraid it will lead to great losses. Long Noon whispered.

"But if you don't, you'll lose that opportunity. Lin Rui looked at Long Noon and said, "The one we want is already close at hand, and besides, we and the Secret Society are destined to be incompatible." Now, there are two big powers behind the scenes. If this opportunity is missed, we will face the Order alone, which will be even more difficult. And if we can really get rid of the head of the Secret Society this time, it will undoubtedly remove the biggest obstacle to our future development. ”

Long Noon nodded and sighed, "This is also the reason why I am entangled. ”

"Then do it!" Lin Rui said slowly. "The work we do is itself extremely dangerous. We are mercenaries, and if we have too many concerns, we will be more dangerous. Because scruples make people hesitate, and hesitation leads to fatal danger. ”

"Maybe you're right, age is unforgiving, and when a person is older, it's easy to think too much. Long Noon patted Lin Rui, "Let's go back first and ask what the silver wolf means." I don't want to be a one-size-fits-all decision at a critical moment, we're still a team. ”

Lin Rui nodded. After returning to the hotel, Long Xiaowu told everyone what had happened. But the team was surprisingly unanimous in their view that this was a great opportunity. If it is grasped well, the Black Island Company will rise in a real sense.

On the third day, Long Noon officially notified Fox and took over the task. It was still him and Lin Rui who came to the office, but this time they were told that the meeting would be arranged elsewhere. They were taken out of the office again and taken directly to a place by special car.

It was the first time Lin Rui had come to such a place. It seemed that there was a continuous stream of glass between the building and the main building, but in fact, Lin Rui keenly noticed that there was a hidden mechanism here.

The roof of the building, equipped with a special radio antenna. Lin Rui has seen this thing, which is an important part of the global satellite communication network. In fact, they are currently building such a system on the island of St. Kaiser.

In the deepest part of the building, there is the central control room, and the early warning system is spread throughout the building. Even the ventilation system is equipped with a silencing filter. Make sure that the information inside is not leaked.

The walls of the building are also equipped with special protective equipment, and the glass also contains special anti-radiation materials to prevent reconnaissance equipment from reading information from computer screens through the windows. Special equipment was installed in the work area, and the digital camera was blank. In addition, as soon as they entered the gate, the cell phone immediately went out of signal.

"What the hell is this place?" Lin Rui said in a low voice.

"I don't know, but the level of security here is probably the highest in the country. Long said lightly at noon.

"Welcome here. A woman came out and led the way, "This is a state-level classified facility, please follow me." She directly took Lin Rui and the others to the elevator and sent them all the way into the basement. The basement here is a space of absolute secrecy.

After entering, Lin Rui found that the carpet had a pattern of white carvings and shields, which he knew was the logo of the CIA. Sure enough, indoors, Fox and a couple of men in suits were waiting for them, and the Englishwoman was there.

"I'm glad you promised me that your location is now one of the safest places in the whole of America. Everything you see is a state secret. Fox shrugged, "Okay, no more nonsense, let's listen to the information this time." You should have seen this Lady Grace, a deputy director of the Sixth Division of the British Intelligence Agency. She will chair this intelligence meeting. Have a seat. Fox made a gesture.

The Englishwoman, Grace, nodded, stood up, and said, "This is an assassination mission, and the target of the mission is the head of a secret organization, codenamed Archduke. He has multiple disguised identities and has never left any photographs or video or audio recordings. But based on nearly ten years of observation and surveillance, and judging by all the known conditions, we have come up with the biggest suspect. That's the guy. ”

The large screen behind her lit up, and a picture of a white man was displayed on the screen.

"Who is this?" said Long Noon, frowning.

"His public identity is that of a Russian businessman, who has made his fortune on oil and gas resources and has industries all over the world. His name was Vasily Ivanovich, the same name as the historical Grand Duke of Moscow. But whether it is true or not, there is no way to verify. Based on other relevant information, we believe that this individual has a background as a former Soviet agent. Grace looked at them.

"Former KGB agent?" Long said with a frown.

"Most likely, according to the information, this person was born in 1964. But no one knows all the information after that, it's like a clean person, and all the information about him is from 1998 onwards. His thirty-four years of history is completely blank, and no one knows who he is, or even whether he really exists. Grace replied.

"It's kind of funny, an obscure person, and then struggled to become a huge rich. Sounds inspirational. Long Noon scoffed.
