"It's all so well arranged, and there will be accidents?" Leo looked at Sylvia on his lap with some surprise.

Sylvia, who had returned to the hotel, had freshened up, teased little Tolan, and then lay down on the couch in a position she felt comfortable with, with Leo beside her, resting her head on Leo's lap, and carefully recounting what she had done and what had happened these days.

Leo was surprised when she mentioned that there had been three surprises in her plan, because he had provided the intelligence information firsthand, and he knew very well that as long as he carefully deployed it according to those intelligence information, there would definitely be no loopholes. However, now Sylvia says that her deployed men and the military have had an accident when they were apprehending three very important traitors, which really baffles Leo.

"It's a mutant. Sylvia sighed and explained why.

These traitors are all mutants with extraordinary powers, and their strength far exceeds that of ordinary mutants, and even Sylvia suspected that these three accidents were not mutants, but full family members when she saw the feedback report.

"But it doesn't matter. Sylvia chuckled again and said, "Although we haven't been able to wipe out those guys perfectly, the main purpose has been achieved, at least for a short time, the country can be cleaned up for a while." As she spoke, she changed the subject a little by the leap and said, "How about we redecorate and renovate this hotel?"

Leo looked at Sylvia puzzled, wondering why she had suddenly shifted to the subject.

Sylvia explained: "The property of this hotel has now been transferred to me, and it is one of the estates of Count Maupassant, and I looked at the accounts of this hotel, and found that this hotel has been losing money all year round, and if it were not for other functions, I am afraid that it would have gone bankrupt, and now it has become our property, and it is certainly not possible to continue to operate in the same way as before." ”

"How are you going to remodel?" asked Leo casually.

"I haven't taken that into account yet. Sylvia shrugged her shoulders and said, "What do you think?"

"Kabu City itself has no special products, and if it weren't for the war, it wouldn't have been able to develop into a city, because it was a transit point for front-line supplies, and the Imperial side used it as a central point for collecting information about the kingdom, so it was not a bad decision to build a high-end hotel. But now that an armistice has been signed, as long as the people in power on both sides are not the kind of crazy people who are born for war, it is almost impossible for a war between the two countries to occur in a short period of time, and even if it does, it will only be a small-scale conflict. So there's really no need for an upscale hotel. Leo carefully analyzed the situation, thought about it again, and said: "The location here is not bad, not far from the border between the two countries, and there is a developed kingdom railway passing through here, and the infrastructure is also very perfect, if you can fight for the high level of the kingdom to classify this city as a neutral free zone, then you can transform this hotel into a large hotel integrating casino and entertainment, and it should be able to become a profitable industry at that time." ”

"Neutral Free Zone?" Sylvia heard of such a thing for the first time, but she quickly understood the meaning of the word literally, and then thought about it carefully, and realized that Leo's proposal was indeed a good idea, but she didn't just think about the hotel, but thought about how much the whole of Kabu City could gain in the matter of a neutral free zone.

Now the gray fog shrouded in the sea doesn't know when it will dissipate, and when he was in the Black Forest, Sylvia also asked the Naturewalker specifically about this matter, and the Naturewalker didn't answer an exact time, but said that the transformation of the world would end after it was over, and according to his meaning, I'm afraid it would take a few years to say the least.

Because of the existence of the gray fog, the maritime trade will naturally stop, even if it is an offshore area, the gray fog will also move to the shore from time to time because of the ebb and flow of the tide, once it is involved in the gray fog, it is very difficult to come out, at least now the United Kingdom has recorded thousands of gray fog accidents, only less than 30 have survived the gray fog, so now shipping, even offshore transportation has stopped, only inland rivers have not been affected.

Since then, at least for a few years, road transport has become the main transport route, but because of the war, the roads and railways between the United Kingdom of France and the French Empire have been completely destroyed, and it is impossible to restore them in a short time.

Although not the closest city to the border between the two countries, the city of Cabu was the terminus of the Kingdom's railway network closest to the French Empire, and because of the wartime, it had well-developed warehouses and freight facilities, and its geographical location became very important if the Empire and the United Kingdom wanted to do business.

In this spy purge against the Empire, a large number of magnates in Kabu City were defeated, and most of the industries left by these fallen magnates also fell into the hands of Sylvia, not because the value of these industries was low, but because the industries harvested by other cities after cleaning up the spies were more valuable, and those who shared the cake in the United Kingdom were more willing to get those sweeter cakes.

Now, although Sylvia does not hold any public office in Kabu City, she has controlled nearly 70% of the large and small industries in Kabu City, including warehouse management and transportation.

Once the private commerce between the two countries begins to normalize, then Kabu City will inevitably become one of the gateways of trade between the two countries, and at this time, if Kabu City has a special condition of a neutral free zone, then it will definitely become the center of trade between the two countries, and as the de facto controller of the city, Sylvia will be able to obtain more benefits than imagined.

Thinking of this, even Sylvia, who didn't care much about money, couldn't help but breathe harder, and even couldn't help but sit up from the couch and walk back and forth in the living room a few times.

It's just that she quickly calmed down and began to think about how to implement this matter, and after repeated consideration, she found that it was difficult for her to monopolize the benefits of this matter, and I am afraid that she would need to give up a large part of the benefits in order to do something.

Although the high-level of the United Kingdom has not yet thought about what will happen after the normalization of trade between the two countries for the time being, once she, the high-level of the kingdom, mentions the concept of a neutral free zone and promotes this matter, it will definitely attract the attention of the high-level.

In the days that followed, Sylvia did not leave the hotel, but she summoned all her intelligence staff to the hotel, and used the suites on the top floor of the hotel as offices, and began to deal with the internal affairs of the intelligence services and the application for a neutral free zone.

However, for these elites of the United Kingdom's intelligence services, the most important thing during this period is not to adjust the affairs within the intelligence services, not to compete for power with another intelligence service facing the kingdom, and not to continue to strengthen the infiltration of the empire.

These elite intelligence elites in the United Kingdom are also very good, and just by virtue of Leo Inge's identity and his appearance, they have found several archival materials that Leo has been in contact with Sylvia in the past.

It's just that after they saw these materials, they were even more confused, because the number of contacts between Leo and Sylvia was really limited, less than five times before and after, and the time was also very short, no matter how you look at it, it is impossible for the two of them to have any feelings in such a short contact time.

Therefore, they can only suspect that Sylvia and Leo are what happened on the mainland of Minsk, which makes the relationship between the two quickly improve and finally come together.

However, the matter was soon questioned, as little Tolan was born at the wrong time, and Sylvia showed no signs of pregnancy when she appeared in the northern part of the Fran Empire a few months earlier.

As a result, the time when Leo and Sylvia fell in love, the time when little Tolan was born, etc., have become the investigation projects that Sylvia's subordinates have invested the most energy in recently, and this matter has even attracted the attention of the United Kingdom's high-level officials, who have also invested in the investigation through their own methods and manpower.

Sylvia's subordinates' investigation is more because of their curiosity, after all, Sylvia is one of the people with high power, amazing ability, and power at the top of the kingdom, and there are naturally many suitors, but she has never seen her show a good impression of any suitor, and now she has an Inge lover for some reason, which is enough to arouse the curiosity of anyone who knows Sylvia.

Compared with Sylvia's subordinates, the investigation of the various high-ranking elites in the United Kingdom of France is obviously more utilitarian.

You must know that in the eyes of the vast majority of the kingdom's magnates, Sylvia is definitely not just a high-ranking official of the kingdom government with outstanding ability and real power, Sylvia is one of the few hereditary nobles in the kingdom, and his title is also the highest among those people, and he has a hereditary fief, which contains huge benefits, enough to make anyone feel excited.

If Sylvia herself had no power, she would have been the mouth of some greedy people with such great power and wealth, but unfortunately Sylvia has extraordinary power and ruthless means, and she has destroyed several ill-intentioned kingdom nobles early, giving everyone a warning so that she can firmly control the inheritance in her hands.

Just like this time, even though she was on the mainland of Minsk, the sea passage had been blocked by the gray fog, and none of her industries in the United Kingdom dared to intervene, and none of her subordinates dared to come up with the idea of transgression, which was a true reflection of her ability and prestige.

For the magnates of the United Kingdom, although they cannot meddle in Sylvia's estate, as long as Sylvia has no descendants, then the estates, titles and fiefs in Sylvia's name are as illusory as a mirror, and in the end these properties will still have a high probability of falling into their hands.

Therefore, some people with evil intentions often think of sending some disgusting suitors, so as to make Sylvia disgusted with men, and even encourage Sylvia to become the Count of Maupassant, carry out daily socialization, strengthen his masculinity, and cut off Sylvia's offspring.

Sylvia easily saw through these people's ideas, but because these people's actions were also very much in line with her heart, she didn't do anything, but let it go, which also made those who had a heart feel that their plan was successful.

But what these people didn't expect was that Sylvia just went to the Minsk mainland and brought back an English lover who had not yet held any wedding vowing ceremony, and also had a child with this English lover.

Although this child is an illegitimate child and his identity is somewhat criticized, even the French Empire has recognized the inheritance of illegitimate children more than a hundred years ago, and the United Kingdom will naturally not deny the inheritance rights of illegitimate children.

Therefore, the successor of the Count of Maupassant, who had been idle, had now appeared in front of everyone, and the years of planning and expectations of those who had a heart had all been in vain.

After years of planning, once it failed, this will naturally make those who have a heart resentful, but Sylvia's identity and power are very special, and they dare not do anything to Sylvia, but Leo, an English man, naturally became their target.

Every day, Sylvia receives dozens of reports about someone investigating Leo's identity, and each time she reads them to Leo, laughing as if she were telling the funniest joke in the world.

Originally, this incident was just a little conversation between Leo and Sylvia after dinner, and neither of them took it to heart or thought about what to do, but then an incident happened that angered both Leo and Sylvia, which made Leo decide to do something to stop those little actions.

This thing that annoys Sylvia and Leo is actually very simple, that is, a killer sneaked into the hotel and wanted to assassinate little Tolan, and when he was discovered and caught by Leo, he decisively committed suicide by taking poison, and the poison was so fierce that even Leo couldn't do it if he wanted to cast a spell to save him.

However, even if the man died, Leo would have a way to extract the information he wanted.

"I'll leave this to me......," Sylvia said with a gloomy face as she looked at the killer's corpse, and it seemed that she had already had the idea of a purge to come.

"No, leave it to me! You stay here and take care of things, protect little Tolan, and I'll be out for two days. Leo interrupted Sylvia, and before she could respond, he grabbed the corpse on the ground, jumped out of the window of the hotel suite, and spread its psionic wings in the air, heading towards the outskirts of Kabu City.
