Chapter 699: Late Dance
Dunn was a little overwhelmed by this sudden scene, and he opened his mouth for a long time before he spat out a few words in a panic:
Dai Li...... No...... I'm not ......."
As the former leader of the Night Watch Squad, although he is a person who can face death calmly, at this moment, he seems so helpless.
At this time, Ms. Dai Li's eyes became sharp, and through the temptation just now, she had confirmed that the person in front of her was his Dunn, not the "monster" who was resurrected by the "fool"!
So she didn't wait for Dunn to finish speaking, she threw herself forward directly, pressed it against the wall of the entrance, and then after closing the door casually, she grabbed Dunn's clothes with both hands, raised her head and looked into the other party's eyes, and said in a slightly domineering tone:
"Change your face back, I prefer the way you are!"
Dunn, who originally wanted to defend himself, looked at Dalie's eyes mixed with joy and resentment, and couldn't say anything anymore, so he had to sigh and remove the effect of the "clown mask".
When the familiar face appeared in front of her eyes again, Dai Li only felt that the "light" that had led her out of the darkness shone into her heart again, and her heart also felt the warmth that she had not felt for a long time!
Last time, I missed it...... But fortunately, with the favor of the goddess and Mr. Fool, the only "light" in my heart was restored......
So this time, I don't want to do that again, I must really touch the "light"!
Thinking of this, Dai Li's heart swelled with endless courage, and the corners of her mouth curled up a little.
The gentle, sweet, and indomitable look made Dunn stunned, but he immediately felt his cheeks being held by Dalie's hands, and then the other person stood on tiptoe, and her lips were getting closer and closer to him......
With the brisk twirling and dancing steps, the two of them breathed heavily, and their clothes were thrown on the floor one by one, from the hallway to the living room, from the living room to the bedroom......
At the same time, the afternoon sun also rarely pierced through the fog and illuminated the whole of Beckland.
……
West End, 9 Bellotto Street, MI9 headquarters.
Hugh was unable to get any valuable information from the informant buried in the Intis embassy, so he had to come to His Highness Vera to ask if there was any inside information, after all, there were some secrets that only His Highness's position had the right to know.
Of course, she also reported to His Royal Highness the transfer of Prince Edsak's theater in Hilston to Abner.
- Although it is a reward for yourself, it was once the property of the royal family, and it is best to get the endorsement of His Royal Highness.
After listening to Hugh's statement, His Royal Highness Vera was not interested in the affairs of the Intis Embassy, but was very interested in the affairs of the "film and television company", and said with emotion:
"That's a funny idea, he ...... I mean, Detective Brian, he even has such a whimsy! ”
As she spoke, she took the initiative to ask: "Is that 'film and television company' short of funds?" I want to invest in it. ”
Your Highness wants to take a stake? Will the management remain in Abner's hands? He still wants to use this company to digest the "magic potion...... Hugh's heart hesitated, not knowing how to refuse.
His Royal Highness Vera seemed to see Hugh's concerns, and said with a smile: "Don't be busy refusing, you'd better go to him and discuss it with him, and then give me an answer." ”
"Also, my stake in a film and television company is also good for Detective Brian.
"After all, things that are profitable will always attract the covetousness of the greedy...... And I was able to stop most of the troubles that came with it. ”
That's right...... Although Abner is powerful and has the support of Mr. "Fool" and the members of the Tarot Society, these cannot be put on the surface, and there are always some fools who can't help but reach out......
And if such a fool is dealt with too much, it will inevitably attract the attention of the official extraordinary.
"Besides, I don't want to ...... too much," added Vera, who was heroic between her eyebrows, "I only need 10% of the shares of the Daily Observer and 3,000 pounds of capital, is that not too much?" ”
Hugh was taken aback when he heard this, it was not that the offer was too low, but that it was too high!
The shares of the Daily Observer were also transferred to the name of His Royal Highness Vera after Prince Edsak's "death", and it was one of the royal family's rewards for her to repel the "Dark Sage" of the Aurora Society during the Great Smog Incident.
Prince Edsak had injected £3,000 into the Daily Observer and reported the ball at the headquarters building...... Now, with that newspaper among the top print media outlets in Beckland, the share price has risen and is worth at least £5,000 if it is sold!
Plus 3,000 pounds of funds, Your Highness is going to invest 8,000 pounds? That's a lot of money! However, she only needs 10% of the shares...... Does His Highness think that Abner's company is worth more than 80,000 pounds? Is she so optimistic about this new industry?
Hugh nodded numbly, signaling that he would go back and ask Abner.
Seeing that she had answered, Her Royal Highness Vera turned the topic back to the topic and pondered: "I don't know exactly what conspiracy is brewing on the Intis side, but I can be sure that that envoy Owen is not an ordinary person......
"He is likely to be the 'lust' of one of the members of the Supreme Council of the 'Psychological Alchemy Society'!"
Speaking of this, Vera instructed again, "Don't spread this information casually, especially to other official organizations...... Of course, it's okay to tell Detective Blaine. ”
His Highness seems to have a different view of Abner...... Is it because of Mother Earth? Or is it the god of knowledge and wisdom? It won't be because of the "fools...... Hugh bowed slightly on the surface, but in his heart he was thoughtful.
After that, Hugh reported the relevant information of the Eastern District and the dockland area that he was responsible for, and then he took his leave and left.
When Vera was the only one left in the office, the handsome princess bent her eyes and said to herself:
"It's a clever way to play the 'Mystic Mentor'...... Well, even theaters...... It should be this word...... After the theater was rolled out, the ceremony of being promoted to 'Prophet' was much simpler......"
……
In the Intis embassy, Carlson, a member of the "Heart of the Machine" who wears a pair of glasses with thick lenses, ended his questioning of the confidential secretary, Mr. Fleis, and concluded: "That is, Mr. Surrey did not come to the embassy today, and he is missing?" ”
"Yes." Johansen Fuller, with his two mustaches, replied with a smile.
"So I'll get here today...... If there are new leads, be sure to let us know. Carlson put away the notebook, shook his hand, and turned away.
Soon after he left, Johansen's face suddenly became dazed, as if he had forgotten something, but he didn't care, and continued to devote himself to his work.
However, the envoy Owen, who was sitting in the office on the third floor of the embassy, closed the notebook in his hand and said to himself silently:
"Not being able to catch Maurizio Sarri's granddaughter still had some impact on my plans...... At least the original plan that after the girl escaped, with my help, the script that finally found the truth through difficult investigation is not usable......
"The investigation of the Steam Church is not going to be in my hands like a girl's game...... So the news of Sarri's death cannot be leaked out anytime soon...... Otherwise, the Heart of the Machine would probably immediately link this to the death of the Archbishop of House Surrey. Well, such a 'disappearance' is even more deceptive.
"Heh, if the waste of the Fulis family can successfully complete the task and not let the 'mechanical heart' set its sights on the embassy too soon, even if the Steam Church finds out that an archbishop has died, it will not think of Rune's side in a short time, and the death of a military attache will not attract the attention of the official team, so there is no need to cover up and remedy Sarri before he is really thrown out to blame.
"After all, the more I do, the more traces I leave behind, and the more likely I am to be seen by the extraordinary people of the church.
"This is a lesson, and future 'arrangements' must avoid such accidents as much as possible......
Just as Owen was examining his layout and introspecting, the embassy's intelligence officers suddenly came with the latest news:
A stronghold of the Spirit Order in the docklands was accidentally discovered by the Wild Extraordinary, and a conflict broke out between the two sides, causing a lot of casualties, and the "Mechanical Heart" team has rushed to deal with it.
Owen smiled when he saw this, and praised the reliability of the "White Saintess" in his heart.
"It's just that why did she choose the stronghold of the 'Spirit Order'?" Aren't the Primordial Witches and the Grim Reaper allies?
"Or is it that this alliance has long since died with the fall of death......
……
St. George's District, the somewhat dilapidated house on Riverbank Street.
Just as the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the window into the bedroom, a voice of surprise and even horror suddenly sounded:
"Fool?! What fools?
"I received a 'blessing' from a highness when I was visiting Raphael's cemetery, and then I was resurrected by the 'Life Stone' given by Mother Earth God!"
