"You should already know that Abstergo Industries' UK division is under investigation and its CEO has been arrested. This incident had a great negative impact on the entire Abstergo Industries, and even dragged down the parent company in the United States. ”

Su Bai raised his eyebrows and said, "If it's just Abstergo being investigated, it shouldn't be enough for the Templars to break their bones, right?" ”

"That's true." Sanmantha nodded, "There are all kinds of indications that the Abstergo affair has caused quite a stir within the Templars, but the situation is still within their control in general. The change happened two days ago! ”

"Two days ago? When I first came back? Su Bai thought for a moment and asked again, "What happened?" ”

"Based on the information I've gathered, it's likely that there has been a great disagreement within the Templars for some reason, and it may even have been divided. ”

"Split?" Su Bai's eyes widened, and a ridiculous feeling rose in his heart.

"As things stand, a split is the most likely outcome." Sanmantha's face was full of seriousness, "According to my brainstorm, the Templars are likely to be divided into conservative and radical factions. The Old Guard adhered to tradition and mastered most of the Templars' assets from the old era. One of the stalwarts was the chief assistant to the former CEO of Abstergo Industries. ”

Laura chimed in, "It's the same man who came to Crawford Manor with Warren Rikkin last time. ”

Su Bai nodded.

Sanmantha continued: "The radical faction is mainly composed of members of the Holy Trinity. Originally, they were at a disadvantage within the Templars, but this time, for some reason, they suddenly gained momentum and even split the power of the Templars. ”

"Holy Trinity." Hearing this familiar name, Su Bai's eyes turned sharply, and then his heart moved, "After I left, they were the ones who did something to Crawford Manor?" ”

Sanmantha nodded, and said lightly, "On the second night of your departure, Crawford Manor was infiltrated by an action team, but I solved it. ”

Although she said it easily, Su Bai had palpitations for a while.

If Laura was the only one in Crawford Manor at that time, Su Bai was not at all sure whether she would be safe or sound.

Although Laura's strength is not weak, she may not be able to escape in the face of the surprise attack of these heavily armed elite squads. These weren't the fierce Solarians who didn't know much about tactics on the island.

"Thanks to you, Sam." He looked at Sanmantha and said.

The corners of Sanmantha's mouth curled.

Su Bai looked at Laura again and said with concern, "You are not injured, are you?" ”

"We're fine." Laura shook her head, "Those people were spotted by Sam as soon as they came in, and they didn't do much damage. We also did not notify the police. ”

"It was right not to inform the police." Su Bai said, "The British government is no longer credible. ”

Sanmantha had a serious look on her face, looked at Su Bai and said, "I interrogated the captain of that team, and their purpose was to capture me and Sam. I suspect that Trinity most likely knew that you had left England with the Apple of Eden. ”

"You mean, they're trying to use you to blackmail me into handing over the apples?" Su Bai narrowed his eyes, "This is indeed very possible. It's just that if that's the case, and they're able to get the news so quickly, either their intelligence network is already so strong, or there's something wrong with the Brotherhood. ”

"I'm more inclined to the former." "No sooner had your ship left than William's men came to you. When I learned that you had taken the Apple of Eden, I saw that their faces were very unpleasant. ”

"I can probably see why." Su Bai sighed.

The Assassin Brotherhood had always been tasked with guarding the Apple of Eden and fighting the Templars, but they learned of Ezio's alliance with the Templars through records found in the Assassin Sanctuary beneath the Auditore Manor.

It is normal for some of them to waver in this kind of ideological impact.

And the Brotherhood of this era did not have a master like Altaïr and Ezio who truly understood the Creed, and could not guide the entire Brotherhood in a timely and correct manner. It's no surprise that the entire organization is having problems as a result.

However, Su Bai didn't want to get involved in these things anymore.

He threw his messy thoughts out of his mind and said with a smile: "Let everyone else worry about everything." Whether it was the Templars or the Holy Trinity, their tentacles would never penetrate into China. I'm not going to bother with these things anymore, and we'll live quietly in Huaxia. ”

Sanmantha's eyes flashed with excitement: "That's what I want to say, too. ”

Laura didn't speak, just looked at Su Bai quietly with a gaze as gentle as water.

Muna's face was flat, and she just gently held Su Bai's hand and rested her head on his shoulder.

Su Bai stretched out his hand and gently hugged the two girls beside him, with the same look of satisfaction in his eyes as Ezio.

At the moment, his mind was quiet, and he didn't think about anything. The choice that the observer asked him to consider also had an answer at this moment.

As long as they can be by his side, then nothing matters. The excitement of life is exciting, and the feeling of mastering power is intoxicating, but now he wants to enjoy peace and tranquility.

The convoy drove on the highway towards Su Bai's hometown.

……

In the secret conference room, robed figures sat around a large round table.

"Our operation has completely failed, and those two women have already arrived in China." One of the figures said in a deep voice.

"Our target was never them, the key was the Apple of Eden that was taken away by that man!" The figure directly above the conference room snorted coldly and said, "Since this method doesn't work, let's do it directly." The Apple of Eden can't afford to lose! ”

"But we have very little power in Huaxia." Another voice hesitated, "That man's strength is not weak, and if there are too few people to send him, I'm afraid he won't be an opponent." But in the case of China, it is difficult for us to send people over on a large scale. ”

"Then infiltrate in batches!" The figure of the head said coldly, "If it doesn't work in a month, it will be a year, and if it doesn't work in a year, it will be ten years." Whatever the method, infiltrate our power into the past. There is no need to think too much about the consequences, as long as they can carry out a successful operation, then it is worth it even if it is all lost in that eastern country. ”

"We can build our strength over there, too." Another figure suggested, "Many people in that country aspire to our civilization, and they would be the best candidates." ”

"That's it!"
