Chapter 13: The Iris Kadu Family (Part I)
Kadu is 63 years old this year, and runs the ancestral restaurant "Western Taste", because of its unique taste and the reputation that has been passed down, the restaurant run by Kadu has gradually become a unique scene in the city of Bayesk, and many recruits from the Western continent will come to "Western Taste" to taste the taste of their hometown when they are on vacation.
Even the castle lord's mansion often entertains guests here, which shows the success of the "Western taste".
But no one knew that this old man, who was always smiling, had an amazing hidden identity - a senior agent of the Military Intelligence Bureau of the Chinese Empire.
The old man's impression of China was only three years of training—like his third son, who nominally roamed the Western continent, but in fact secretly entered the empire, received professional training as a secret agent, and cultivated patriotic sentiments.
After serving the empire for several generations in a row and becoming a nail buried by the CIA within the scope of the Crusaders, the old man did not feel the pressure, the reason is very simple, the CIA has never used him, at most, he has secretly collected all kinds of intelligence materials collected by the old man every once in a while, which also gives the old man the illusion that he will never receive orders in this life.
Just when the old man thought that he would pass on his secret duties to his son, he did not expect that the war would break out, and the invincible crusaders were crushed on the front line, more than a million troops were annihilated, and the defense line that would never fall was completely broken after only holding out for less than two weeks.
When the old man first heard the news of the breach of the defensive line, he did not feel ecstatic, but he also did not feel panic, he was an agent, yes, but decades of running his ancestral business made him essentially a businessman, no matter who ruled Bayesk, the Kadu family would certainly not decline......
The only thing that the old man is looking forward to is that if the imperial army wants to fight, will he be activated?
The old man was activated, and the task was to find a place to imprison Obi Olifik, but what the old man didn't expect was that the task that he had nowhere to start was inadvertently revealed by the eldest son - the unlucky second prince of the small principality was actually imprisoned in the Baiesk City Lord's Mansion, so the old man easily completed this task and received a commendation from the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Agency.
Naturally, it is impossible for medals and the like to enter the control area of the crusaders, but they are silently recorded in the archives, and there is a generous and considerable bonus - compared to his own family business, this bonus is really insignificant, but after all, this is the first bonus that the old man has received, and the old man has often quietly taken out a hundred gold coins to observe these days.
It is a gold coin commonly used in the West, and it is naturally impossible for the Military Intelligence Bureau to send the coins of the Empire.
However, the MIA's bonus does not seem to be easy to get, and the second mission follows - he needs to pick up a secret infiltrated Imperial special forces on the 21st, provide intelligence support for them, and try to assist them in evacuating.
The old man has a lot of experience, so he naturally understands that the purpose of this army is to rescue the unlucky guy, in fact, he has quietly understood Obi's poor prince, and can even guess what the empire's plan to rescue Obi is, but does this have anything to do with him? He just needs to provide him with some help, and he doesn't even need to expose himself!
"In three days, the special forces of the empire are coming, and I have to make a showdown with the boss......" The old man was sleepless tonight, thinking about how to assist the imperial army in completing the mission.
According to the archives of the Military Intelligence Bureau, the old man understands that his ancestors were born in the empire and are citizens of the empire, and now that the war has broken out, it is not clear when the imperial army will occupy Bayesk, so the old man is very concerned about this matter, and the old man who has lived secretly in the empire for several years is actually very envious of the civilian life of the empire, there is not so much oppression by the nobles, there is no theocratic bullying, and there are not so many taxes.
From a merchant's point of view, the Empire is a paradise for merchants and commoners!
Old Kadu wanted to live in the Chinese Empire in the open, as a Chinese, just as he had been mentioned in his training in the Empire and returned to his ancestors—and for this reason, the old man was determined to convince his eldest son, who knew nothing about family affairs.
Just when the old Kadu was practicing how to persuade his eldest son in his mind, his eyelids suddenly became extremely heavy, and he secretly sighed that after he was old, the old man looked at his wife who was sleeping deeply next to him, and slowly fell asleep.
……
A pungent smell made old Kadu can't help but sneeze, but then the old man was shocked to realize that he was tied to a chair and couldn't move, and subconsciously the old man wanted to call people - the guys in the restaurant and the servants in the house also had a certain amount of force, and the old man wanted to ask them to save themselves.
But before he could be born, his mouth was covered, and then he felt a cold chill in his neck, and his throat was pressed against a dagger.
"Don't scream, or I wouldn't mind cutting your throat!"
A low and hoarse voice sounded in his ears, the old man was excited, and quickly nodded to show that he understood, at this time the hand covering his mouth slowly let go, and a figure walked out from behind him, through the light of chance through the window, the old man noticed that the person who kidnapped him should be a middle-aged man, but his face was hidden in the dark, the old man did not see clearly, he had been dealing with the army, and he could see at a glance that this middle-aged man was definitely a soldier.
"Who is it? Vicious mercenaries? Or a minion of the Holy See? ”
While the old Kadu was conjecturing in his heart, he also quickly turned his brain to think about countermeasures, if it was for money, it would be good to say something, but he was afraid of running into people with ulterior motives!
"Sir, I don't know where the Kadu family offended you, if there is something wrong, please Haihan."
Old Cardhu lowered his voice uneasily and said, but unexpectedly, the other party did not speak, but felt that he had been staring at him, and Old Cardhu tried his best to keep his voice low:
"If you're looking for money, I've got five hundred gold coins hidden in my bedboard, and if that's not enough, give me time, and tomorrow I'll do my best to raise the amount you need!"
"I don't ask for money!" The other party finally spoke, this time the old Kadu heard clearly, the mysterious man's voice was hoarse, as if he hadn't drunk water for a long time, and he was as cold as the Shadow Knight of the Holy See he had seen many years ago.
"I have a question for you."
Hearing this, old Kadu's legs and stomach couldn't help but tremble, asking for money is easy to say, killing or killing, these are only for individuals, but he has had such a scene in countless nightmares, his identity is exposed and he is interrogated - under the divine authority of Zhulian, there are too many things where one person commits a crime and the whole family is tied to a pillar and set on fire!
Someone from the Divine Guard or the Shadow Hand?
Old Kadu's heart sank, but he tried his best to show a warm expression: "You ask." ”
"How many identities do you have?!"
This question is the one that old Kadu fears the most, but I didn't expect to be asked finally - I was exposed!
