Chapter 49: Tio Prato
Leaving Crawford's house, the group did not go far, but disposed of the task of soliciting ideas nearby, and then left the West Side Avenue to return to the harbor area.
As early as when Rien was drinking tea with her old classmates, Yuna received a contact from the front desk of the RF Building, saying that the Epstein Foundation had begun to officially open.
Because it was said that the director would be there in the morning and could come over at any time, Yuna was not in a hurry, and she would dispose of the other two commissions first, and it would not be too late to go over.
Speaking of which, the building where Epstein is located did not belong to the Lane Forte Group at the beginning, but was the headquarters of IBC before the completion of the Orchid Tower. After the "Red Constellation" attacked Crossbell and was damaged, the IBC headquarters was moved to the Orchid Tower, and the former headquarters was under repair.
However, before the repairs were completed, President Dita began to fight for independence, and it was not long before he was arrested by the Support Section led by Lloyd, and then the Empire invaded.
When the dust settled, the IBC business and scale shrank significantly, not only did it move out of the Orchid Tower, but even the former headquarters was sold to the Lane Forte Group in exchange for working capital.
As a result, the IBC headquarters became the RF Building. Since Lane Forte did not have enough people to fill the building in Crossbell, the group rented out some floors, including the counters of the Epstein Foundation and IBC, which is embarrassing for the No. 1 consortium in mainland China.
Of course, only IBC is under the fence, not the Epstein Foundation, which is a leader in the field of guidance science, and has a close cooperation with Ryan Fuerte, and it is more advantageous for the two sides to be close.
The group waited in the hall for a while, and soon, a girl with long blue hair, a cat ear hair ornament, and a white coat, about the same age as Yuna, walked down from the elevator.
This girl has similar qualities to Artina, obviously has an extremely delicate appearance, but she is as flat as a wash - ahem, this is not, crossed out - always has a straight face, expressionless, exuding an aura that no one can enter.
However, this indifference did not frighten Yuna, but ran over with an excited face.
"Teo-senpai, you're back!"
The girl named Theo nodded, "Yes, I came back just after Yuna left. It's been a long time, but it's great to see that you're in good spirits. ”
"Teo's seniors too, ah, so the new director is you?"
"Hehe, that's it."
"You know each other." Kurt walked over.
Later, Altina exchanged glances with Rien, who had seen her information in the intelligence bureau's report.
Her full name is Theo Prato, a sixteen-year-old girl who belongs to the Epstein Foundation, and has extraordinary abilities and talents in the channeling network, and is one of the members of the Support Section.
Missy Fanatic - This is the exclusive intel provided by Yuna.
After Crossbell was occupied by the Empire, she didn't embark on a run with Lloyd, but she wasn't locked up like Randy because of her special status.
Not only is his hometown not in Crossbell, but his true sense of belonging is also in the Epstein Foundation, and he was sent to the police station by the consortium, and he is still underage, even if it is an empire, it is not easy to force it too much.
At most, she was to send people back to the Leman Autonomous Prefecture at the headquarters of the foundation, but soon, she returned as the director of the distribution and development of the consortium Crossbell, and in a way she was a problem girl who gave the Intelligence Bureau more of a headache than the few people who were on the run.
This commission is not just a simple problem and wants to find a helper, but more about contacting the second branch and Li En.
A year and a half ago, the encounter between Rien and Lloyd not only left a deep impression on Rien's heart, but also made the Support Section aware of Rien's existence, coupled with Randy's teaching and Yuna's study, it is natural for Theo to be curious.
In this regard, Lane not only did not have any rejection, but welcomed it, because he also wanted to ask Theo to do something.
But it was Altina who showed resistance, probably because of the repulsion of the same sex - the sex of attributes, who made both of them three-nothing?
Well, it's actually knowing that Tio was involved in the events of a year and a half ago, and wanting to investigate the "lightsaber" has caused Altina to be on guard.
Fortunately, with Rien and Yuna playing in the round, the atmosphere was maintained quite well.
Theo's commission is actually a common one of the miscellaneous work, drilling underground tunnels.
However, it is not a common task such as the retreat of Warcraft, but the maintenance of a high-tech guiding force network.
As the city with the most cutting-edge technology, the underground tunnel is not just an ordinary sewer, but a very high-tech infrastructure project, including the nodes and centers of the guiding network.
In recent days, there has been a problem with one of the control terminals, causing some errors in the guide network. Coincidentally, the demonic beasts in the underground tunnels have multiplied relatively rapidly recently, and the Imperial Army has no time to deal with them, so they asked the Governor's Palace, and Luvas sent them to the second branch.
What a deep calculation.
After hearing this, Li En couldn't help but let out a sneer in his heart.
Why is the Imperial Army running out of time?
In addition to the vigilant work of the inspection team, it was also necessary to carry out "birdcage operations" to block the operations of the support section.
Due to Theo's special identity and powerful intelligence ability, she can't use conventional methods, so deliberately letting her come into contact with the second branch can not only put her under her nose, but also use the particularity of the second branch to paralyze her carelessness.
Kill two birds with one stone, worthy of being the chief of the Son of Iron Blood.
If there is no experience before starting over, and after repeated analysis and deduction, Li En would not have guessed Lufas's mind even if he wanted to break his head.
What's even more terrifying is that if you do, there's nothing too good to do, unless you're going to break with the Imperial government right now – which is tantamount to treason.
With him as an opponent and Rechter's target, the life of the Support Section is not ordinarily sad.
Even so, they can still be optimistic and maintain an upward attitude, which is admirable.
However, there are some things that are not useful by will alone, and Lufas's calculations are much more than that.
The Support Section still has one of its biggest hurdles to over—not in the Empire, not even in the Support Section itself, but in the vast majority of Crossbell whom they are fighting for.
What's even more troublesome is that, according to Lane's deduction over the past month, once the goal he pursues is achieved, it will make the obstacles blocking the progress of the support department even more solid, and if it is not enough, it will completely cut off the hope of Crossbell's autonomy.
I don't know if the Lloyd investigator and his second senior brother foresaw this.
How should they react then?
Rien was curious.
PS: It's not alarmist, in fact, Flash 3 Lufas has already pointed out some things, but he didn't mention much, and I will analyze it in depth when I write about it.
