Previous Chapter: Chapter 40: The Presidential Guard

Infiltrating a heavily guarded fortress isn't the first time for the seasoned Joyka. Two years ago, when he took over a difficult bounty mission, he infiltrated the castle of the Grand Duke of a principality, and under the supervision of more than a thousand well-trained soldiers, he kidnapped (rescued) the Grand Duke's daughter, who did not want to be restrained and wanted to run in a free world, and was also the publisher of the bounty mission. On that occasion, Joyka was rewarded with not only a generous prize, but also the favor and dedication of the Grand Duke. This made Joyka remember it at the time.

After a successful experience, it is much easier to do a similar stealth mission. Joika, who was well prepared, figured out the pattern of the gendarmerie guarding the perimeter, he stunned a gendarme who had asked for leave to go home, and then disguised himself as the gendarme, sprinkled a very small amount of tiger urine on his body, easily deceived the several highly trained hunting dogs raised by the peripheral gendarmerie, and successfully infiltrated the presidential palace. But when you get inside, you can't get through it so lightly. Because the gendarmerie guarding the perimeter is rotated by 4 squads, the soldiers of each squad do not know each other, and it is easier to exploit loopholes, but everyone in the presidential guard knows each other, and it is impossible to get in; moreover, they also raise lions instead of hounds to detect intruders, and the tiger urine on their bodies does not work; in addition, although they are invisible to the naked eye, Joyka still feels that there are unguardable marksmen lurking in some hidden corners, and it is definitely not possible to break in. So Joyka could only stop at the front court of the presidential palace.

At this time, Joyka was hiding in the bell tower of the presidential palace, motionless, waiting for the opportunity.

He said he was waiting for the right moment, but in fact he was hesitating.

That's because before he parted ways with Elizabeth, the beauties who had fallen in love with him pleaded with him for the first time.

"To be honest, as much as I would love to help you, I hope you don't do anything to hurt the President. The current president, Manedor Hurbert, is a rare good president. You may think that the president of the Monis Republic is just a puppet, but the president still has a lot of autonomy in many government affairs that do not involve the core interests of the three major chaebols, and President Herbert has implemented many policies that are beneficial to the country and the people, and is also deeply loved by the people. And--" said Elizabeth, turning her head away, "he is my savior." ”

"What?" Joyka was a little surprised.

He didn't expect Elizabeth, who had changed her name and surname, to be related to the president.

"When my mother and I escaped from the Marcus family's mansion, Mr. Magnall Herbert was a timber merchant on the go. [To see the latest chapters of this book, please go to&26825;&33457;&31958;&23567;&35828;&32593;&119;&119;&119;&46;&109;&105;&97;&110;&104;&117;&97;&116;&97;&110;&103;&46;&99;&99;] If we hadn't happened to meet him on the way out, or if he hadn't taken us in, my mother and I would have starved to death on the streets and become food for wild dogs. Although my husband didn't know the true identity of my mother and me, it is an indisputable fact that he saved me. Elizabeth rubs her fingers together as she recounts a dusty part of her past, wanting to help Joyka without hurting her benefactor's life, and at the same time worrying that telling the truth will affect Joyka's determination and cause him to avoid her in the future.

Numerous contradictions are focused on this woman. From her fingers, Joyka could see the dilemma she faced. He didn't say anything, just walked up and gently hugged her into his arms.

Although Joyka was tempted to say, "Don't worry, I'm just trying to find the 'Night Stalker', and I'll definitely guarantee the president's safety." But he also understands the reality that he is not 100% sure that he will be able to do both. Since it is something that he is not 100% sure of, he will not make promises lightly. Joyka, who is free by nature, although he has never had the burden of a so-called "righteous gentleman", it does not mean that he has no bottom line in doing things. At least he was cheating on a woman, as if he were a woman who had a relationship with him - he would never do such a thing.

It is precisely because of this layer of concerns that what could have been done at noon can only be postponed until the evening.

The only secret word that Elizabeth knew and told Joyka was hidden in the bronze bell. The bell is struck twice a day, once at noon and once at midnight. Each time it rings 12 times in a row, and the interval between each ring is about 2 seconds, which is constant. If, one day, the interval between the seventh and eighth rings of the bell in the presidential palace is heard at least 4 seconds, it is a signal to the "night owls" hidden in the presidential guard that it is time to "get rid of the president".

Joyka only needs to do a little trick on the clock tower to let those "night owls" get the wrong code, and then he finds a place to hide and observe who in the presidential guard will take actions that are unfavorable to the president, then this person must be "night owls", at this time, as long as Joyka catches that person, and then step by step.

Of course, the plan is perfect, but human feelings always change things. At noon that day, when the bell was about to ring, Joyka, who was about to do it, suddenly remembered the look that Elizabeth had begged him with last night, which made Joyka hesitate, and it was this brief wavering that prevented Joyka from doing it in time, and the bell rang 12 as usual.

Having lost the best time, Joyka can only continue to lurk hungry, waiting for the second chance of the night.

To be honest, Joyka didn't care at all whether the president was a good guy or whether he was loved by the people. The president's life or death has nothing to do with him. If it weren't for Elizabeth's feelings, Joyka would have done it a long time ago. But just thinking about the shame of her companion's hurt and the importance of finding an antidote for Cassius made Jojka know she had to do it. In fact, in the past ten hours, Joyka has not experienced any self-debate in his heart, he has already made up his mind to do it, and the reason why he is wavering is only thinking about how to face Elizabeth in the future after doing this. The only thing Joyka could do for Elizabeth now was to move the plan back 12 hours.

It was still about 15 minutes before the bell rang, and Joyka slowly sat up from the place where she had been lying on her stomach for more than ten hours, moving her limbs in a small amount to allow the blood to flow smoothly and warm up for her next move.

However, when he sat up, he got a windfall.

I saw a carriage with the flag of the Chamber of Commerce driving directly into the presidential palace through the gate, and the gendarmerie guarding the perimeter stopped at first, but before the coachman showed a parchment, the gendarmes immediately let it go. What is even more strange is that when the carriage arrived in the area controlled by the Presidential Guard, the soldiers of the Presidential Guard did not check it, let alone stop the car, but just let it go.

Joyka, who is familiar with the situation in various countries, knows that it is normal for the Chamber of Commerce and the Presidential Palace to have something to discuss, but it is very rare for the Chamber of Commerce to visit the Presidential Palace in the middle of the night (generally if there is an emergency, the President personally goes to the Chamber of Commerce), and even if it is a daytime visit, the representative of the Chamber of Commerce will let the carriage stop at the door, and then get out of the car and walk into the Presidential Palace to show respect for the president; 。

Sure enough, when the coachman opened the carriage door, what came out of it was not any of the high-ranking members of the Chamber of Commerce that Joeyka had seen in the portrait, but a middle-aged man dressed in the costume of an orthodox high-ranking bishop. Although she had not met this man, Joyka knew who he was: the diocesan bishop of the Monis Empire, Casaranforlu.

At this point, the door opened, and it was none other than President Manedor Herbert.

When he saw the diocesan bishop, the president greeted him with open arms like an old acquaintance, but the diocesan bishop showed a cold expression. The two stood in front of the main building of the presidential palace and began to talk.

"Isn't the Republic of Monis always at odds with the Central Church? Which one is this singing? Or is that guy the Truth Society hidden in the church? Why did this diocesan bishop sneak in? Is there anything to do with him and the fat man being attacked? Strange, why don't these two guys go in and talk again?"

A series of questions crossed Joika's mind, but he was too far away to hear what was going on, so he reached into his pocket and pulled out a pair of reading glasses—it was this morning, when Joika went to a restaurant for breakfast, and stole the restaurateur's reading glasses as revenge for the unscrupulous profiteer's drunken drink. I didn't expect what I stole this morning to come in handy so quickly.

Joyka removed the two lenses from her glasses and placed them in front of her right eye at a distance from each other, so that her right eye and the two lenses were in a straight line. Using the principle of convex lens magnification imaging, a simple monocular was made to observe the mouth shape of the two people talking from a distance. Joyka, who knew how to read lips, quickly "read" the conversation between the diocesan bishop and the president.

However, the content of the conversation between the two made Joika feel very illogical, and he had a vague feeling that the whole incident did not seem to be as he had imagined......

Just as Joika watched the two of them talk intently, and thought about the doubts in them, suddenly he only felt a darkness in front of him, and at the same time, a hoarse voice sounded like a deliberate noise from behind: "Guess who I am?"

Guess you're sister!!!

Then came the screams of the winged elves.

In normal times, Joyka could immediately think of who was doing such a boring thing, but now Joyka is indeed intimidated, and she will have such a violent reaction, because Joyka, who is used to acting alone, is a man who can even notice behind her back, and like now, being approached from behind silently, and being covered with her eyes without you noticing, makes Joyka suddenly have an unprecedented sense of crisis, and the conditioned reflex will make such a fierce self-defense.

Bess, who once again played a prank on an inappropriate occasion, showed the best escape talent of the Winged Elves, and escaped at the moment when the longbow was about to hit her, but was not hit, but Joika used too much force, and the longbow slammed into the bell, making an incongruous "bang" that shook the entire presidential palace.
