Chapter 424: Aggrieved Alec
"It's really gloomy today."
Ling Yi leaned his back lightly on the edge of the windowsill, holding a cup of strong black coffee in his hand, taking a sip from time to time, squinting slightly to enjoy the calm time before the rainstorm.
"Don't you know why?" Hearing this, Erica raised her eyebrows and said angrily.
Ling Yi turned his head to look at the girl who was enjoying afternoon tea with a dignified posture, like a noblewoman, and said lightly:
"You're misunderstanding me. Although my purpose is very close to the status quo, don't compare me to the man, as he is far from being the conspirator behind the scenes. At best, they are self-sacrificed people blinded by hatred. β
"You're playing tricks again, but you're glad that someone did what you want to do for you, so you just have to sit back and enjoy the achievement. Eh, I can't figure out why you're so lucky. β
Erica seemed depressed.
Seeing her like this, Ling Yi smiled faintly and changed the subject: "Why did Commander Paul send you?" β
"I trust my uncle's judgment, but if it's a miscalculation, that's another matter."
Erica frowned, and although she was very annoyed that Ling Yi deliberately mentioned this detail, she still made a strong rebuttal.
The tricky nature of the mission was far greater than she had imagined.
It is not inferior to the coming of a disobedient god.
She didn't think that her uncle had deliberately sent her to die.
So, of course, the problem lies in the request.
"You think it's just a mythical beast making trouble, right?" Ling Yi looked at Erica playfully.
"At the end of the day, you're half the responsibility." Erica tilted her head. Forcing herself not to care about his gaze, after all, the difference in identity is here, Ling Yi can ignore etiquette, but she can't.
"At most, Cheng dΓΉ who sits idly by and ignores it, not so strict." Ling Yi waved his hand, looking indifferent.
"Yes, not your people."
"If it were my people, more people would die."
"You tyrant."
"Killing one is a crime, and slaughtering ten thousand is a hero. Slaughter 9 million, that is, the male of the male. That's what I said. But I'm not so idle yet. In short, if [Wang Li Factory] doesn't stand up, no one wants to meddle in this matter, including you, of course, you have to find that person desperately. I won't stop you. Rest assured. I will send your remains back to Italy. β
"I suddenly feel that it is more terrible to be an ally than an enemy, because you have to be prepared to be used at all times." Erica shook her head, sighing as if worried about her future.
"I'm doing this for your own good. Just stay in the hotel honestly these days and don't go anywhere. If you're bored, help me point out Alice, although your magic skills are not good, but you are a practical technique, which should be able to help her a little. Ling Yi settled the matter to himself.
"I haven't said yes yet!" Erica's eyes widened and she said angrily. What elegance and dignity were all left behind, she didn't want to be at the mercy.
"Then I'll call Commander-in-Chief Paul right now and order him to take you back."
Ling Yi took the phone out as he spoke, and before he could dial the number, his wrist was grabbed by Erica.
"Can't I promise you?"
Erica looked pitiful, of course, Ling Yi didn't eat her, shook off her hand, looked her up and down, and said lukewarmly: "Then don't you hurry?" If you want to have afternoon tea, I'll make you go back to Italy. β
Erica was annoyed for a while, she really hadn't met a man like Ling Yi, who didn't eat hard and soft, had a bad personality, and could never understand what he was thinking.
Anyway, she is also a girl, although her personality is stronger, but she is not an arrogant and unreasonable eldest lady, as for the attitude is so bad?
Erica snorted softly and got up to leave, when she suddenly remembered something, and her expression became very strange.
"What's wrong?"
Ling Yi was keenly aware of her change and asked puzzled.
"There's a question I hope I'll answer."
"Sorry, no comment."
Although she didn't know what she wanted to ask, Ling Yi intuitively told her that it was not a good question.
"My dearest best friend, Liliana. Miss Crannical has disappeared in Tokyo, can you know her whereabouts? Erica asked, feigned concern.
But her silvery voice was full of unconcealable laughter.
"Is there such a thing? I'm sorry I don't know anything about it, but I'll look into it when I get back, after all, the [Bronze Black Cross] also provides great convenience to the Magic Society. Ling Yi was startled for a moment, and then swore a promise, just like the foreign secretary who can often be seen on TV.
Seeing his watch, Erica was a little stunned, could it be that she guessed wrong?
Some time ago, there was information that Lily's traces were found in Tokyo, and after investigation, it was found that Lily had indeed gone to Tokyo and had not returned.
She also thought that Lily was hidden by Ling Yi, but now it seems that this is not the case?
Could it be that something happened?
Thinking of this, Erica couldn't help frowning, Lily was a good friend to her, and if she could, she didn't want anything wrong to Lily.
"You're worried about others, too."
"Yes, after all, it's a close friend, so I hope the Mishi can treat my best friend."
"The premise is that she comes to visit in a dignified manner."
ββ
Erica stared at Ling Yi wordlessly, narrowed her eyes and said:
"It's not the first time I've been fooled, but I'm still amazed at your amazing tricks."
"I don't understand what you mean."
Ling Yi looked like he didn't eat oil and salt.
"Lily must have done something that upset you to keep her in custody." Erica rolled her eyes, a smile on her lips.
"She secretly established an illegal armed group."
Ling Yi took a sip of coffee and suddenly burst out.
As soon as I heard this. Erica's face changed suddenly.
"Is this true?"
"I hope it's fake, too. It's also an old acquaintance, and she actually made this thing under my nose, and she didn't take me seriously, what do you think I should do with her? Ling Yi said slowly, his flat tone not showing the slightest fluctuation.
ββ
Erica had a headache, and she had already counted Lily over and over again in her heart, really, what was wrong with it, she actually made such a big fuss, it seemed that it was the order of the Marquis. Otherwise, Lily wouldn't have done it.
But not the time to think about that. Now that the Italian Alliance and the Magic Association in Tokyo are in their honeymoon period, Liliana, who belongs to the Italian Alliance, has actually gone to the base camp of her allies to establish rebel forces, and if the news spreads, the consequences will be unimaginable. The Bronze Black Cross will definitely kick Liliana out of the Society. Even the granddaughter of the commander-in-chief and the pillar of the future are not as important as the reputation of the association.
Liliana's actions were certainly at the behest of the Marquis. But after all, it was an infringement of Ling Yi's interests, so it was impossible for the Marquis to come forward for Liliana, and the Marquis just regarded her as an outcast.
Thinking of Lily's fate. Erica pursed her lips tightly, anxious inside.
The reason why she didn't intercede at the first time was very simple, it would involve the [Red Bronze Black Cross].
Because Lily's actions not only offended Ling Yi, but also seriously damaged the friendly relations between the Magic Society and the Italian Alliance, which was almost equivalent to treason.
Wait, that's the case, the Marquis is in this idea.
No wonder Ling Yi didn't make a noise.
Erica's eyes lit up, and her gaze at Ling Yi was already different.
Even she can figure out the key point, how could this man not think of it?
"It's up to you."
Although Erica had a plan, she didn't intend to interfere.
She already had a rough grasp of Ling Yi's thoughts, so there was nothing to worry about.
Trust is sometimes as simple as that.
********************
Although the name 'London' is familiar to everyone, different people have different opinions about which region it represents.
In general, if you speak of the 'Greater London' region, you are referring to a large area of about 1,500 square kilometres, which includes the 32 boroughs of London and the City of London, the City of London. In a narrow sense, the word 'London' refers to the central part of the city, including the City of London and the Borough of Westminster.
The headquarters of the Wangli Factory is in the Borough of Westminster.
It's very atmospheric, but it's actually just a small building.
The interior decoration does not look gorgeous and noble, nor does it make it feel shabby, in a word, it is ordinary.
Alec lay on the back of a wide chair, rubbing his swollen temples with his fingers, and the rest of the group stood or sat as if they were a meeting of street ruffians.
"Alec, what do you think?" Dennis, the loyal follower who stood aside with his hands on the side, frowned slightly.
"Do you need to say it? If not, once Cardiff, it will be England's turn next. Alec cupped his forehead, his voice low and weak.
The information sent at noon was clearly written.
The enemy is accumulating strength.
Therefore, they must not delay any longer, even if the Italian Alliance is eyeing the side, they must take action, because the Sage Council next door alone cannot deal with the divine beasts of the god level of disobedience.
"Alec, do you think this is going to be a conspiracy against us?"
Bing Nan said hesitantly.
Alec sneered and said, "Do you still need to think about it? It must have been made by that guy, that mythical beast can only be dealt with by a god killer, if I don't make a move, if he doesn't make a move, Britain will be destroyed, and then they will lay a net again, and none of us can escape. Unless I commit suicide, I can only follow his thoughts. β
I can't escape and can't escape, and I don't dare to go all out to fight, for fear of being stabbed in the back.
This feeling is really aggrieved. (To be continued......)
