Chapter 240: I Didn't Take It Seriously at All
readx; Prince Rick sat at his huge desk with a heavy expression on his face. Although he still had a Cuban cigar in his hand www.biquge.info it was already burning for the most part, and he seemed to be unaware of it, and still let the cigar smoke burn on its own, leaving only a pile of ashes.
Prince Rick is 36 years old, two years younger than Crown Prince Felipe. He was the second son of King Juan Carlos and the third heir to the Spanish throne. Originally, he had always thought that as long as his brother Felipe lost the right to inherit, then he would be the future king of Spain. But who knew that his eccentric father actually made his niece, Princess Leonor, the second heir to the throne. Moreover, according to the current relationship between the king and the crown prince, it is very likely that the old king will depose the crown prince and then appoint another crown prince. And Princess Leonor will be the biggest obstacle in his path to the throne. As long as the princess is in the first day, he will not want to inherit the throne logically.
Although Rick is 2 years younger than Felipe, his deep face and cold gaze make him look even older. On the contrary, he is more like his brother, and Felipe is more like a younger brother.
Rick's brow furrowed, as if he was preoccupied. His face was solemn, and he fell into deep contemplation. And he was the only one in his palatial office, which seemed unusually quiet at this time.
Suddenly, the golden retro phone on his desk rang. Rick woke up from his musings and glanced disapprenantly at the telephone on the table. Still, he cleared his throat and picked up the phone.
"Hey, I'm Rick. What the? What did you say? Got new footage? That's great! Rick said, his face cleared and replaced by a look of euphoria, "Then, tomorrow, according to the original plan, at 10:30 p.m., all the materials will be transferred to the San Raphael Hospital." Diego, you have made a contribution this time, and I will remember your credit. ”
Rick finished and hung up. When he hung up, the sky was clear on his face. He glanced at the Cuban cigar in his hand and took a hard puff. He couldn't stop the ecstasy in his heart, and he couldn't help laughing out loud when he was always calm. Soon, though, he calmed down, then adjusted his mood, picked up the golden retro phone on the table again, and dialed a phone number.
"Mr. Rogge, I'm Rick. The new material is ready, and tomorrow will still go as planned. I'll go to the San Raphael Hospital in person, you can rest assured. As for the rest of the work, after I and all my people are evacuated, you will take over. Well, okay. The organization also asked Mr. Rogge to say a few more kind words. Well, thanks a lot. ”
Rick hung up, and snorted heavily. He pondered for a moment, then clicked a red button on the table. Soon, a man's voice came from a small speaker above the button.
"Please, Your Highness."
Rick said in a deep voice, "Tomorrow at 10 o'clock in the evening, all the guards will be transferred to the king." ”
"What about you, Your Highness?"
"I don't care. His Majesty the King has been in a bad condition lately, and I have a bad premonition, so it is better to transfer the guards there just to be on the safe side. ”
"Yes, I understand, and I will do it, Your Highness."
Rick hummed softly, and turned off the small speaker.
He took another puff of his cigarette, then snuffed out his cigar and tossed it into the ashtray, then leaned back in his wide, comfortable office chair and let out a long sigh of relief. However, not long after he had become comfortable, another regular phone on his desk rang. Only his henchmen would dial this number.
"Your Highness, it's me, Yan Nong." A deep voice came from the other end of the phone.
Hearing the thick voice, Rick's heart was at ease. He hummed softly, and then said, "What's the matter?" ”
"Your Highness, can you not go out tomorrow?"
Rick was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Why don't you go out?" ”
"Because I have noticed that there have been many unknown strangers at the gate of the palace lately. I don't know who these people are or where they come from, but I can be sure that they are all here for the old king and you. You have to be careful. ”
Rick was silent and pondered for a long time before he said slowly: "It's impossible not to go out tomorrow, you know." ”
This time, it was the turn of the person on the other end of the phone to be silent. After being silent for a long time, Qi Nong said: "It seems that I really have to go out tomorrow." So be it, I'll follow you, and I'll follow you the whole time. ”
Rick laughed and said, "Qi Nong, you are the captain of my personal guard, but you are not a personal bodyguard, so don't be so nervous." You have your own business to do, understand? ”
Qi Nong sighed softly and said, "Okay, then you have to be careful. I got some intelligence that there are suspicious people investigating things about you. ”
Rick sneered and said, "Investigate me? Let them investigate, I'm not afraid at all. ”
"It's better to be careful."
"Okay, I see, thanks for the reminder, Yanong."
"Your Highness, do you remember the Oriental boy I told you about?"
"Yes, I remember."
"He seems to have started working with Princess Leonor now, we know exactly what the princess wants to do, and he's a foreigner, a bit tricky and not easy to deal with."
"Qi Nong, why are you starting to lose confidence in yourself now? Isn't he just a stinky kid, I don't believe you're afraid of him. ”
"Your Highness, don't look at this young man's young age, but his methods really can't be underestimated. Ever since we last played each other, I've known that this teenager is anything but simple. Far from being simple, it's likely to come from a lot of things. Even to put it bluntly, if he uses all his tricks, even I won't be able to beat him. ”
Only then did Rick's color change dramatically, and he said, "Really? This teenager is so powerful? ”
"Yes, I've fought him, so I'm clear."
"Well, well, I see. I'll be careful. If you can tomorrow, then come and accompany me, I am more relieved to have you by my side. ”
"Yes, Your Highness!" Qi Nong's voice paused, and then said, "However, you must not leave me at a distance of 5 meters at that time, I must protect your safety." ”
"Alright, I got it."
Rick hung up the phone and stood up. He walked around the corner of his office.
I've been worrying about so much lately. The first is that he learned that Princess Leonor had returned to Spain on an ordinary civil airliner. This matter is difficult for him to sleep. Princess Leonor returned, which means that none of the people he sent to assassinate the princess have returned. The princess returned to the country, and she did not rush into the palace to question herself, much to Rick's fear. Everything he did before he really inherited the throne was not in sight. Once something is exposed, or some important intelligence and information is revealed, then he won't be able to eat and walk away!
The second thing that the organization gave him was an important thing, and that was to do everything he could to gather materials. Ever since he had a relationship with Rogge, he has been trying to provide so-called fodder for Rogge and the mysterious organization. Over the years, he has provided countless materials to the organization, and in return, he has received great support from the organization. The reason why he dared to act so boldly and dare to start the idea of usurping the throne was precisely because the organization supported him behind the scenes.
The third thing, and what he was most worried about now, was the old king's physical condition. The old king was indeed seriously ill. However, according to the attending doctor, the old king's health was good, and his life would not be in danger in a short time. As long as you recuperate and recuperate, your condition can gradually improve. However, that's exactly what worries Rick. Once the old king recovered, everything he did would be exposed in broad daylight. Therefore, the old king must not recover. However, he did not dare to blatantly kill the old king directly, because if the king died, there would be a team of experts to make a death evaluation for the cause of the king's death. He was not sure that he would not be aware that the king's death was related to him, so he did not dare to murder the king, so he could only pray every day that the old king would ascend to heaven.
His biggest concern in front of him was the task of collecting materials assigned to him by the organization. Due to the recent actions of the organization, which has been detected by many countries and sent personnel to investigate, it has had a certain impact on his collection of materials. It's been a long time since he's turned in new material to the organization. Rogge had been urged many times, and even the leadership of the organization had sent a message asking him to collect new materials as soon as possible and turn them in.
Just now, his men reported to him that the new material had been collected, which put an end to one of Rick's concerns. In any case, the organizational matter is temporarily resolved. Once the matter is settled, then Rick also has the confidence to negotiate some conditions with the organization. He now needs organizational help to help him fix two other things that are worrying him. Moreover, he also believed that with the vast power of the organization, he could completely help him get the other two things done.
Thinking of this, his mood brightened. As for the previous reminder, he had completely forgotten it. No, it's not so much that he forgot, it's that he didn't take it seriously at all.
Ever since he came back from his injury last time, he, the captain of the personal guard, had been talking about the mysterious oriental boy beside Princess Leonor. This young boy was able to bring the thick * to such a point, and it was the first time Rick had seen it in so many years. He also sent someone to investigate, and found that this oriental boy was just an entourage of members of the DUA Association this time. Moreover, he didn't seem to have anything special, except that he might be a little better. However, since he is an entourage of members of the DUA Association, it is not unusual for him to have this kind of skill. After several investigations, nothing was found to be special about this oriental boy, so Rick only regarded him as an ordinary master. Leonor's cooperation with such a person does not pose any threat to himself at all. Rick thought.
