As the provincial capital of Bithynia, Ankud is still lively during the day.

The pastry vendor on the side of the street happily took out the pastry wrapped in white paper from a small alley and handed it to the little girl with two ponytails, and the women carried baskets in front of the vegetable stalls, and from time to time commented that the cabbage had been bitten by insects, and wanted to bargain.

"Didn't you just be bitten by insects! Back then, I accompanied Katrina to buy groceries, but I didn't buy anything that wasn't like this, and I don't know if it's genetically modified. ”

Philip couldn't stand a group of idle old women chattering in front of the vegetable stall, and whispered complaints.

"What are you talking about?"

Colleen, who was standing with Philip at the intersection of the road and the alley, gave Philip a strange look, and then her eyes quickly turned to the group of aunts who were blocking her line of sight, and there was some anxiety in her eyes.

"I mean, these old women, can they hurry up, they have been holding us back for so long, and I don't know if Gerald is still there for breakfast. ”

"Well, don't talk about it, the women have finally paid and are ready to leave, and if you get Gerald's attention, you won't be able to discover his secret. Colleen glared at Philip angrily, "Can't you leave professional things to professional people, what do you say you came to me to do?"

"Isn't there nothing to do, the general direction has been decided, the negotiation will be handed over to Caroline, there is Egbot on the miners' side, Francis on the nobles' side, both sides can recognize the situation, what else do I have to worry about?"

Philip's hippie smile made Colleen feel powerless, "How could I have fallen in love with such a boring guy as you." Okay, shut up, they're really gone. ”

A group of aunts, whose waists were wider than Philip and Colleen combined, twisted their barely stripped waists and chirped away from the hawker stalls, revealing where their massive bodies were exposed.

In a small circle surrounded by a half-length high-speed rail railing, there were several sets of simple tables and chairs, and a few people who came out of the room sat down at the table with a plate and milk to find no one and start the first meal of the day.

"What about people?" Colleen frowned, her eyes glancing around. It seems that he wants to find Gerald, who was originally sitting in a small circle for breakfast.

"Will we find out. And ran away?" Philip asked anxiously, if the accident was acceptable to him, if it was discovered, it would be bad.

It's like Philip told Francis on the mine. At the time of Tomei. Philip sent Colleen to investigate if anyone was behind the miners and nobles.

As a professional-level intelligence officer. Colleen soon discovers that there is a man and a miner, as well as a nobleman, and a big ore trader - Gerald.

This Gerald came out of nowhere a year ago. By buying ore from mine owners at a price 30% higher than the market price, and then selling it out, Bithynia soon monopolized the sale of ore to the outside world.

At the same time, he also used his caravan to sell various daily necessities to the miners who lived in the mine all year round, and also established a very good relationship with the miners.

In addition to the person who wants to benefit from both ends, what else will be intimate with both sides of the conflict.

After a series of deliberations, as well as conversations with Egbot and Francis, Colleen told Philip with great certainty that Gerald was behind the miners and aristocrats.

However, no one knows what purpose he did this and what benefits he did.

Therefore, Colleen now has to follow Gerald every day, trying to find a clue from his daily whereabouts.

If Gerald finds out, it means that Philip and the others will not find anything, and it is even possible that he will deliberately send false information to Philip.

Philip was about to rush out of the alley and run towards the breakfast spot diagonally opposite, but Colleen's little hand grabbed Philip: "Wait, wait, although I can't see it clearly, I didn't notice him walking away, maybe, we didn't find it." ”

As if to confirm Colleen's words, Gerald came out of the small house next to the breakfast point with a plate of jam-stained bread, and slowly sat back down to his earlier place, continuing to enjoy his breakfast.

"It's really edible, this guy has eaten three loaves of bread, right?"

Philip wiped the sweat from his forehead and complained.

"It's not surprising that everyone has their own quirks. Seeing Gerald come out, Colleen was also obviously a lot more relaxed, her eyes glanced at Philip, and showed the same teasing expression that men had seen: "For example, don't you like to collect powerful women with status? ”

"No kidding, it's all other people's. Philip suddenly felt more sweat on his forehead, and he couldn't wipe it off.

"Duchesses, princesses, and goddesses, each has more status than the other, and you are embarrassed to say that it is someone else's nonsense?"

"This, that, Ha Luha, this is all for a reason, it wasn't my intention, ah, look, Gerald finished eating, he stood up, ready to go......"

Philip hurriedly diverted his attention, Colleen would only not flirt with Philip when she was working, this was the only way to please the man to embarrass himself.

Gerald took a watch from his bosom, looked at it, threw down a few copper coins, left the breakfast spot, and stole into the crowd on the street.

"Alright, stop talking, keep up. ”

Colleen's hand was put into Philip's arm, and the two were like a couple in love, intimately joining the crowd on the street.

The girl's long pink hair fluttered behind her, her pink lips were slightly upturned, her breasts were close to the man's arms, and her attachment was completely heartfelt.

"My dear, are we faking the public and the private?"

Philip whispered softly in Colleen's ear, the damp breath striking the girl's ears with a tingling sensation.

Colleen's eyes were watery, and she glanced at Philip seductively, but she didn't speak, but the corners of her mouth were curled higher, and she held the man more closely.

Gerald walked in front, and Philip and Colleen followed behind with a large group of people. Pedestrians on the streets are the best natural barriers, and as long as you see Gerald in the occasional gap between people's heads, and estimate his direction, you can roughly judge where he is going, although Philip can't do these things, but it is a piece of cake for Colleen, a professional intelligence officer.

Following Gerald, the two stopped in front of a tavern, and Colleen pulled Philip into an alley opposite the tavern, where she hugged Philip intimately, as if a pair of lovers were talking sweetly. There is an occasional pedestrian or two passing around. Seeing these two people, he just showed a happy smile, and then sighed "It's good to be young", and didn't bother this lover who was sweeter than honey, and left quietly.

"He comes to this tavern every day. But I don't know what the road is for. Maybe it's with someone. But he would go to the private room on the second floor, and every time I wanted to go up, he had already entered the private room. I don't even know which room he was in. ”

He is a very cautious person.

Philip thought silently in his mind.

Gerald stopped at the door of the tavern and looked left and right before entering.

Philip let go of Colleen, pulled the woman into the tavern as well, and found a remote place to sit down, according to Colleen, there may be no way to go directly to the second floor to find Gerald, only to sit here and wait, to see when Gerald will come down, maybe be able to find some subtle clues.

The pocket watch ticked to indicate that time had flown by, and Gerald reappeared on the stairs leading to the second floor of the tavern, his face heavy compared to the relaxed feeling he had just finished his breakfast.

"It seems that the meeting just now was not easy! I don't know what his connector told him. ”

Philip took a sip of the glass in his hand and took a sip of it, his large hand on Colleen's soft waist swimming between his lower abdomen and thighs.

The female agent's face was delicate, like a red apple, which made people want to bite it, her fingers pinched a small piece of skin on Philip's arm, pinched it hard, and slapped away the dishonest groping pig hand, "Don't mess around, there are a lot of people here, we still have something to do, you ......"

Feeling that Philip's hands didn't seem to have any traces of movement, it was hot, making the female agent feel a little weak, as if recalling the situation when Philip's hands full of magic caressed her body, Colleen's face turned even redder, and she said in a voice smaller than a mosquito: "Good man, don't make trouble, you can do whatever you want when you go back, okay?"

The whispered plea did not call for a response from Philip, and when he looked up, he saw that the man was locking his eyes onto a man in a suit who was hiding his face with a hat.

Although his head was covered by a hat, and although he was wearing a masculine suit, the figure and the way he walked were very familiar to Philip.

Miranda!

"She, it's her again! Why do I have to run into her on every mission, are we doomed to be hostile?"

Philip bit his lip in pain, his voice bitter.

is obviously the most tacit business partner, but now they belong to two different camps.

Obviously, they can work together to create brilliance, but they fight each other for their respective goals.

"It turns out that the Cooper family is behind all this......"

As long as he reads the word Cooper, Philip is full of hatred, his relatives, his friends, his lovers, have all been hurt by this family, Philip's hatred for it is higher than Mount Everest, deeper than the Mariana Trench.

"It's probably not just the Coopers, Gerald seems to be going to meet somebody. Colleen said.

Philip watched Miranda's figure fade into the crowd outside the tavern before turning back to Colleen: "Anyone else?"

"Yes," Colleen nodded, he seemed to be meeting with someone in the afternoon, but he was so stealthy that I didn't find out who I was meeting with every time I followed him.

"You don't even know who he's talking to, how do you know who he's going to meet?" asked Philip, confused.

"You come with me. Colleen took Philip by the hand and left the tavern, walking towards a market in Ankud with a very clear purpose.

"Where is this going?"

"Just follow me. ”
