"You're saying your brother is missing?" Ling Xiao frowned, and at the same time asked with some puzzlement: "Could it be that he went out on some secret mission, so he blocked his communications, and the Knights of the Round Table, didn't you ask them?" ”

"Because Brian and I didn't like our parents when we were young, we had a deep relationship, especially after my parents were in a car accident, and we often shared the same phone call. If I went out on a mission, Brian would say hello to me so I didn't have to worry. Elizabeth said worriedly: "But I just spoke to Brian on the phone a few days ago, and he didn't mention doing tasks or anything, but last night, his phone couldn't get through." ”

Speaking of this, Elizabeth paused slightly, and then continued: "The phone didn't go through, and I didn't realize anything at first, but last night, Brian's phone still couldn't get through, so I couldn't help but be a little anxious, I went directly to Windsor Castle this morning, but the people there told us that they hadn't received any messages from Brian for three consecutive days, maybe he was on some confidential mission." ”

Ling Xiao nodded and said, "He's right, maybe it's a very urgent task, and it's normal that your brother won't have time to call you at all." ”

"Not really." Elizabeth took a deep breath and said to Ling Xiao: "Actually, there is one thing that few people know, although Brian and I are brother and sister, we are actually twins, and we have a certain telepathy with each other, and I can feel that Brian is in danger now. ”

Ling Xiao couldn't help frowning, and couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you tell those knights of the Knights of the Round Table about this?" ”

"Nope!" Elizabeth said with a wry smile: "With my identity, I can't see the top of the Knights of the Round Table at all, Brian is already my direct boss, and according to the information I have gathered, the Knights of the Round Table seem to have been in some trouble recently, and they can't spare any manpower at all." ”

"Oh, and that kind of thing?" Ling Xiao couldn't help but be surprised, although he had only seen Brian Braddock alone in the entire Knights of the Round Table, but this guy's strength was definitely not weak, but he was still ranked last in the Knights of the Round Table, which also meant that there were many people in the Knights of the Round Table who were stronger than him, and some were even S-level powerhouses.

But with such a powerful group, there are still people or things that can tie them up, which shows that the Knights of the Round Table are definitely in a lot of trouble. However, people didn't communicate with him, so Ling Xiao naturally didn't need to ask about people's secrets.

Knocking lightly on the table, Ling Xiao looked at Elizabeth and asked with a serious face: "Elizabeth, as far as I know, your strength is not weak, didn't you conduct an investigation yourself, what are the results of the investigation?" ”

Hearing Ling Xiao say this, Elizabeth couldn't help but be shocked, looked at Ling Xiao in surprise, and said, "So you already know!" ”

"I have a good relationship with Professor Charles and the X-Men." Ling Xiao glanced at Elizabeth and continued, "And I'm also a mutant, so it's not strange to be aware of the existence of another mutant. ”

Yes, Elizabeth Braddock is a mutant, as is her brother Brian Braddock, which is believed to be the reason why he was able to become a Tristan Knight of the Knights of the Round Table. After Brian Braddock's disappearance, Elizabeth had no reason not to investigate, but she did find her, suggesting that something was going on that she couldn't handle.

"Yes, I did investigate." Elizabeth nodded, and continued, "After I joined the Four-Dimensional Technology Company, Brian didn't let me meddle in the internal affairs of the Knights of the Round Table. However, I am still Brian's squire knight, and through some of my previous connections, I found some things that Brian was investigating, and these things involved some very troublesome tasks, so I had to ask you for help. ”

Sure enough, Ling Xiao sighed, nodded, and said, "Okay, let's talk about it, who are they?" ”

"It was first at the Fire Club in London that someone saw a beautiful woman who could constantly change her face." Elizabeth took out a file from the briefcase she was carrying and handed it to Ling Xiao.

There were several blurry photos in the file, the people in the photos were wearing the same clothes, in the same place, at the same time, but the faces on their faces were different, Ling Xiao couldn't help frowning, and said suspiciously: "Ruiwen? ”

"According to Brian's analysis, he suspects that this person is the Witch." Elizabeth nodded and continued: "So otherwise, an investigation was launched immediately afterward, and soon he was in Germany, and he found another person, Riptide. While he was following the rapids, he was discovered by the Red Tank, and after a fierce battle, Brian escaped successfully, but the clue was cut off. ”

Hearing Elizabeth say this, Ling Xiao's face was very solemn, he looked at Elizabeth and said, "Demon Girl, Riptide, Red Tank, Isa, you should understand what this means, if everything is true, then the situation is very serious." ”

"I understand." Elizabeth nodded seriously and said, "The Witch, Riptide and Red Tank are all the most powerful assistants around Magneto, and the three of them appeared in Europe almost at the same time, which means that Magneto is also in Europe, and it is not far away." ”

"If only you had a good idea." Ling Xiao glanced at Elizabeth, retracted his gaze, landed on the few photos in his hand, and after a moment of silence, he said to Elizabeth: "Since the matter is related to Eric, I need to make a few phone calls first, and then we will act, okay?" ”

Elizabeth has no problem with this, she came to Ling Xiao on the one hand because his strength is strong enough, and on the other hand, because he has a very good relationship with the X-Men, since the matter is related to Magneto, it is inevitable to contact the X-Men and Professor Charles.

Half an hour later, Ling Xiao hung up the phone, looked up at Elizabeth and said, "Let's go, Isha, I'll take you to a place." ”

After speaking, Ling Xiao stood up directly, returned to the room and changed into a blue-black suit, and then took Elizabeth and walked outside.

At this time, Ling Xiao saw Catherine Haigl waiting outside the villa, Ling Xiao beckoned to her, called her over, looked at the pile of documents she was holding in her arms, frowned, and asked, "Is there anything urgent?" ”

"Hmm!" Looking at Ling Xiao and Elizabeth, who were about to go out, Catherine Haigl said with a wry smile on her face: "Here are some more urgent documents that need to be signed by the two of you at the same time, I see that Elizabeth is also here, so I want her to sign it by the way, so that the documents don't have to be sent to London." But now that you two have something to do, let's put this one out for now. ”

"What documents?" Elizabeth reached out and took a document from Catherine Haigl's hand, and the first one on her head was the last month's salary statement sent by the finance department, and it was two days before the company's employees were paid; There is a second copy, the second is the company's production department to send the purchase list, must also have her signature, and then transfer to the procurement department, these documents are very urgent, one is not handled well, there will be big trouble.

The problem of procurement is nothing more than delaying the company's own production, but she must review the salary list as soon as possible, if the salary payment of employees is delayed this month, once the union makes trouble, it is not a matter of closing business for a few days.

But the problem now is that she doesn't have that much time to deal with these things carefully, and her character doesn't allow her to sign perfunctory at will.

Seeing Elizabeth's embarrassed face, Ling Xiao immediately understood that the matter had reached the point where it had to be dealt with, he glanced at Catherine Haigl lightly, and then said lightly: "Okay, get on the plane first, you can deal with these things on the plane." ”

After speaking, Ling Xiao took the lead in stepping into the butterfly plane, Elizabeth followed closely with the documents, and finally came up with a calm face, but her heart was full of bitter Catherine Haigel, at this time, she would rather Ling Xiao throw her down than let her follow.
