Chapter 16: The Girl Who Pits Her Teammates

"Long time no see, General Morgan. Reilly greeted the old general in front of him and handed over Mabel's letter, "Please take a look at this letter first." ”

"It's you, it's been a long time. Morgan nodded and said, "You've been helping Mabel lately?"

Reilly shrugged his shoulders and said, "When I saw that kid in trouble, I couldn't help but want to help her." ”

"That's ......" After reading the letter, General Morgan thought for a moment and said, "There are some things that cannot be revealed to outsiders. However, since it was Mabel's commission, let's follow her wishes. Speaking of which, I'm an old acquaintance with his father. ”

"Great!" cheered Estelle.

"Huh?" General Morgan asked, puzzled, "why are you so excited?"

"The child's relatives are on the passenger list, so she is in a hurry. Reilly smiled sheepishly and said, "I hope you understand." ”

"I see. General Morgan nodded, and then said to Estelle: "Don't give up hope at any time, we soldiers will definitely get the hostages out as soon as possible! ”

"Speak. ”

"Originally, the regular ship 'Linde' took off from Perth International Airport and was ready to sail for Loliente. However, it lost sound in the process. General Morgan paused and said, "Now, the troops are still searching, but no targets have been found. ”

"If you say that, you should have been hijacked by gangsters. Reilly said with a solemn face: "With the size of the Linde, if it had fallen due to a malfunction or a demonic attack, it should have been discovered a long time ago." ”

"Exactly. General Morgan nodded and said, "There is a plain below the route between Perth and Lotrente, and if it does crash, we will soon find out." ”

"Whew~ Great, nothing bad happened. Estelle breathed a sigh of relief to hear Reilly and Morgan's analysis.

"From the point of view of the starting position, it is also possible that the Imperial Army was responsible...... Joshua said.

"If that's the case, it's serious......" Istelle said worriedly.

"Your assistant is nice, Reilly. General Morgan looked at them and said, "Their views are insightful. ”

Reilly pondered for a while and said, "I think General Morgan also suspects that there is an imperial shadow behind this matter, so he will implement intelligence control." If you act hastily on international issues, it is very likely to trigger a new round of war. ”

"War ......," Estelle said, with a sad expression.

"Thankfully, that possibility has been ruled out this morning. General Morgan waved his hand and said, "The gangsters have made a statement of guilt and demanded a ransom from the government. They call themselves the 'Capua Family'. ”

"The Capuas?" exclaimed Istelle.

"It should be them. Joshua nodded.

"It was a gang of air thieves who were on the move, often committing crimes in the Perth area. General Morgan looked at Estelle and asked, "Have you heard about those guys?"

"Haven't you heard of it, we've fought those guys in Lotrente!" said Estelle angrily.

"Did you fight those air thieves?" General Morgan looked at Estelle in surprise.

Reilly sighed and said, "I was a guest at Mayor Klaus's house two days ago, and I happened to meet an air thief disguised as a student to spy on intelligence. I became a little suspicious of her, so I looked into it. ”

"I see, so you have a conflict with each other...... No!" General Morgan's face changed, and he said, "That gang of air thieves was able to escape from you?! ”

"Not really. Reilly shook his head and said, "At that time, we searched two places separately, so there were only a few juniors who actually fought against the air thieves. ”

"That's right. General Morgan nodded and said, "Then there's nothing to worry about. ”

"What, what a contempt for people!" muttered Estelle dissatisfied.

"Just say a few words. Joshua quietly tugged at her.

"I almost showed my stuff just now, stupid!" said Sherazadeh, glaring at her as well.

"Well, then, we'll go back and explain the situation to Mabel, so we won't bother you. Reilly said with a smile.

"I'm also going to deal with military affairs here, so I won't send you away. General Morgan nodded.

Back at the mayor's residence, Reilly sees two unexpected acquaintances at the door.

"Miss maid, please let me know. All it takes is the mayor to say something and make a comment. Nair changed his sloppy image and dressed himself neatly, obviously taking this interview very seriously.

"That's it, just take another picture. Doroshi said with a smile.

"Even if you say so...... The mayor is busy with official business right now, and you haven't made an appointment beforehand, so please come back. Lila said embarrassed.

"How can this be! We don't know anything about such a big event...... You have to give an account to the reader!" said Nair excitedly.

"But ......"

"If the legendary mayor were to be the cover character, it would definitely sell a lot!" Dorohi said with a smile.

"......" Lila gave her a cold look.

(me...... )

"Don't say such rude words!" "Nair was anxious, if she was allowed to say this, the interview plan would definitely be ruined.

"Hey, isn't that what Nair told me? If there is no good news, use the beautiful mayor as the cover character of the magazine, and use the method of creating an idol to attract readers. ”

"What are you talking about!"

"......" At this time, Lila's eyes had become as cold as the wind: "What a very interesting guest, I will truthfully convey the words of you two to the mayor." Please come back!"

"Wait, wait, there's a slight misunderstanding here...... "Nair wanted to fight for it again, but Lila wasn't going to listen to him anymore.

"Please, you, go back, go!"

"Got it......"

"Hey, isn't it okay if you don't take a picture of the mayor of Beauty?" Apparently, Dolohi hadn't figured out the situation yet.

"Please, I'm begging you...... Keep your mouth shut from now on......" Nair walked out dejectedly.

"Senior, wait a minute!"

After the farce was over, Reilly and the others came over: "What a capability, Lila. ”

"Ah, Mr. Reilly. Lila bowed and said, "Did you just come back from the Haken Gate?"

"yes. Reilly nodded and said, "We've got some information, come back and talk to Mabel." ”

"Please come in, the eldest lady is waiting. Lila said with a smile.

Arriving at the mayor's office, Reilly happened to see Mabel in distress.

"Burglaries were frequent, citizens were dissatisfied, the Royal Army's air traffic control caused a slump in business, making it difficult to import and export goods, and sewer equipment repairs were ...... Warcraft ...... on Ansel's New Street Gifts for Her Majesty the Queen should also be carefully chosen......" The girl slapped the table and complained loudly: "No~ when will these things be dealt with!"

"Hehe, Mabel's anxious look is also cute. Reilly laughed.

"Ah...... Teacher?!" Mabel blushed and muttered, "You're back." ”

"Well, General Morgan has told us the latest situation. Reilly smiled and said, "The Linde has been hijacked by a gang of air thieves, and the other party has already made a ransom demand, and the army is still intensifying the search." ”

"It's more serious than I thought. Mabel said with a solemn face.

"It's all my fault that I said the wrong thing, or I'll be able to get some more information......" said Estelle with a dejected bow.

"It's good to know that the Lind didn't crash. Mabel said with a smile: "The next step is to issue an announcement to the citizens and reassure the families of the passengers." ”

"It's a real hassle, you have to deal with so much every day. Reilly shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Hehe, this is also the mayor's responsibility. Mabel smiled and said, "So, can I ask you to continue to investigate this incident?"

"We came to Perth to investigate this incident. Sherazadeh solemnly said: "I vouch for the reputation of the Guerrilla Association, I will definitely capture those air thieves before the Kingdom Army!"

"That's right!" said Estelle excitedly, "And Dad's matter, this time we will also solve it together!"

"I've always thought it was a little strange when I mentioned it. Joshua said with a serious face: "Judging from the strength shown by the air thieves in Loliente, it is impossible for them to successfully hijack the spaceship that my father is on. ”

"That's right. Shelazadeh nodded and said, "At that level of group, the teacher can solve it alone." ”

"But, Daddy isn't as good as you think, is he?" said Stepelle, spreading her hands, "He's really good, but when you have to fight against a whole group, I think it's a bit ...... enough."

"You're wrong, Estil. Reilly shook his head and said, "With the strength of Cassius's predecessors, even if a reorganized army is sent to launch an encirclement and suppression, it must have a reasonable strategy to kill it. Otherwise, he could have loaded X and run. ”

"Isn't it? Daddy is that good?" exclaimed Istelle.

"That, teacher......"

"What's wrong, Mabel?"

"Did Estelle's father also take that scheduled ship?"

"Ah, I haven't told you about this yet. Estelle scratched her head and said, "Actually, he was also a guerrilla, and his name was Cassius Bright. ”

"Cassius Bright?!" Mabel exclaimed, then asked Reilly, "Teacher, are you talking about Mr. Cassius who is known as the Juggernaut of the Sword?"

"Well, do you know my father?" asked Estelle, surprised.

"I haven't met each other, but I've admired the name for a long time. If he's on board, why would he be caught by air thieves......"

"Sister Mayor?"

"Ah, I'm sorry. Mabel thought for a moment and said, "I want to talk to the teacher alone, can you please go first?"

"No problem!" Before Estelle and Joshua could react, Sherazadeh hurriedly replied, "Then, let's go look for clues first." With that, she dragged Joshua and Estelle out of Mabel's office.
