Chapter 20: The aftermath of the incident
The plan was unexpected for some reason, but the tactical goal was achieved, and both Garcia and Randy lost their fighting spirit.
Under the surprise attack of the mafia forces led by the sharp knife troops, the defense line was rushed to pieces, and the group could leave at any time if they wanted to.
At this moment, the melodious wolf howl resounded through the warehouse area.
In the distance, the roar of the guide engine came from far and near, and a cargo guide speedboat was speeding in.
Seeing the opportunity, Lane shot a flash charm into the sky.
The members of the squad that had broken into the enemy line turned back without a fight.
The red-eyed mafia is about to be pursued, but is blocked by a wall of fire that rises out of thin air.
"Uncle, for the sake of Fei, I'll provide you with a piece of information." When Rian, who had squandered all his true energy, passed by Garcia's side, he whispered, "You should know what that kid you just saw almost became the finale of the auction." ”
"What nonsense are you talking about, isn't the final lot a doll from Rozanbelk's workshop?"
"In fact, the box with the doll contained the child." Lloyd picked up Kia and replied to Kia's cry of "Wow, it's a boat," "And both the Society and Black Moon have received this information." ”
"If things go on, I'm afraid it won't end well." Waji said.
The speedboat flicked its tail neatly and stopped firmly behind several people, and Sergei's unmotivated voice could be heard clearly:
"Oh, it looks like things are getting weird. The one from "Rubacher", I'll talk to you later, you guys sort out your situation first. ”
"Hmm~" Garcia snorted, not just a headache or an internal injury because of the incident.
"All hands retreat."
"Yes!"
More than half an hour has passed since the start of the auction, and the organizers have still not produced a single lot.
There is a limit to people's patience, and they happily prepare funds to come to the auction, but they don't see anything, and they are frightened for no reason, and no matter how good their patience is, they can't help but attack.
A man brushed his sleeves away.
Two men got up and left their seats.
The third, the fourth
This is still good-tempered, and the good-tempered directly can't help but scold.
"Everyone, please be silent!" Marconi tried to maintain order, "Although there are some unexpected events, the auction will be held as scheduled-"
But these noble guests didn't care, the doubts became louder and louder, and the speech became more and more unpolite.
"Let's not mention this yet, what the hell was going on with the gunfire just now?"
"You, who do you think we are?"
"I'm going to protest to the autonomous state government depending on the situation."
"Please, please calm down." Marconi was in a cold sweat.
And the attitude of Harutman, the backer behind the scenes, gave Marconi a fatal blow.
The speaker snorted heavily and scolded: "Useless waste, it actually smeared my face." ”
After speaking, he brushed his sleeves away, and never looked at this dogleg who had brought him endless benefits.
"Ha, Speaker Harutman? Where are you going, please, please stay. In Marconi's wail, the guests dispersed.
Only the ill-intentioned Maria Bell was in a happy mood.
"It seems that the auction was in vain, and although the expectations were a little disappointed, I also saw interesting things, and the results were good."
Such a high-profile auction, which should have been grand, has ended before it has even begun.
However, it was from this moment that the Phantom Flame Project officially began
In the port area, a red-haired young man dressed casually watched the boat carrying the culprit departing quickly, and a regretful smile crossed the corner of his mouth.
"If you can go, if you really want to play seriously, forget it, just bear with it a little longer."
"What else are you talking about patience, haven't you already made a fuss?" The white-clothed and slim-dressed Oriental cold beauty walked along the passage, with mockery in her calm tone, "The channel between the Iron Prime Minister and Speaker Harutman, as the person in charge of the liaison between you, seems to have too many inappropriate words and deeds. ”
"Hmm~ What are you talking about?" The red-haired young man still looked lazy, "I didn't do anything, just feed the cats and tease the dogs, unlike someone, who even took out the glaive." ”
"I just think it's dangerous for military dogs to run around, so I'm just defending myself." Kirika's answer was equally flawless.
"Forget it, my main task this time is to meet with you." The red-haired young man didn't bother either, and turned to the topic, "The Fog Fragrance and Loulan Organ Master of "The Rock Smith Organ." ”
"Hehe, it's really well-informed." Kirika smiled, "Second Secretary of the Imperial Government, no, a subordinate of the Imperial Army's Intelligence Bureau, Captain Rykert Arandel, it's better to call you like that." ”
"Okay, we've figured out each other's details to a certain extent, so let's go back to the hotel lounge and have a good discussion. Discuss the future of Crossbell's intelligence warfare and lay down the rules for a new era under the non-aggression pact and the operation of the Guiding Forces. (Open the room, open the room, cry Kim, cry Valut.) )
"Okay, let's get started. The era of changing the situation through sabotage and terror is over. In order not to allow the 'unfortunate accidents' of the past to be repeated in Crossbell, even if only temporarily, it is necessary to establish a new order. ”
"Then again, Miss Kirika, I have one thing to ask."
"Please."
"Do you really have a master named Long Aotian in "Taidou Liu"?"
On the dinghy, Lloyd reported the matter to Sergei as it was.
"I see." Sergei twitched his eyes and said unhurriedly, "In short, completely ignore my advice and not settle accounts with you for now." The problem is that this kid, depending on the development of the situation, may cause ** annoyance, especially Li En's intervention. ”
"Don't worry about me and Lixia." Li En leaned against the side of the boat very unimpressively, and let Lixia help him deal with the emergency, "This time I am alone, I have not made a report to the association, and the intelligence source has nothing to do with the association." However, since this kind of thing really happened, I am afraid that the association will not be able to stand idly by. ”
"yes," Randy said, glancing at Kia, "the child who almost took the place of the doll at the auction"
"Alas, it makes people think badly." Vaji let out a sigh.
"I didn't think the mafia would be stupid enough to do such a thing." The complicated situation left Ellie distressed.
"No, it's not like Marconi did it, he doesn't dare." Lixia, who helped Rien deal with her wounds, had a different opinion.
"Yes, go on." Sergei nodded.
"If he really dares to do this, the association will definitely completely annihilate the "Rubacher", even Speaker Harutman can't protect them, and Marconi's old fox won't be so irrational."
"Could it be a conspiracy from Black Moon?" Theo offers a new perspective, and "Silver" also appears. ”
"Not really." Randy shook his head and said, "Think about it, if I were Silver, I would definitely do everything possible to ensure that Kia appeared at the auction, so that Rubacher would be dead." ”
"Speaking of which, Randy, you" Lloyd remembered again what Garcia had mentioned.
"Well, I'll tell you about it later, if you still agree with me to stay in the Support Division." Speaking of which, Randy seemed a little lonely.
Staring at X3, as soon as these words came out, Lloyd, Ellie, and Tiozzi glared at Randy, making the latter's heart furious.
"I'm going to be, Randy." Lloyd's expression was comparable to that of Tio on a regular basis.
"Randy, sometimes what you say is so out of place." Tio directly began to gather clouds on his face.
"yes, please don't say such stupid things." Ellie has changed her usual gentle attitude, and her oppression is unprecedented.
"I'm sorry." Randy raised his hand in surrender. The words of his teammates made his heart extremely warm, and this warmth made him not regret leaving "Red Constellation".
Sure enough, people gather like and things are divided into groups.
"Huh?" At Kia's age, she couldn't comprehend the vibe, so she nestled up next to Zeite and asked, "Now, dog, what's wrong with Lloyd?" ”
Without Theo's translation, no one could understand what Zeatt was trying to say.
"Hehe, this is also a kind of youth, right?" Waji said with a smile.
"Youth?"
Destiny? Coincidental? This is not even clear to the void god who is in charge of cause and effect. In short, Kia became a member of the "Support Section", and Lloyd and his party were wary of the mafia's retaliation while relying on various intelligence networks to keep an eye on the Speaker's movements.
As for Rian, he had seen Kia, but he wished, and returned to Tolista by train early the next morning.
His trajectory is in the empire, not in Kezhou.
