Chapter 42: Pre-War Mobilization
"Let them solve the matter of the Continental Hotel by themselves." Landau handed the phone back to Fawkes, reluctantly reluctantly that Frank was not only an old fox, but also an old tsundere.
Landau turned his head to look at Fox who was leaning on the edge of the couch, patted his thigh, and motioned for her to sit up, "Are Mr. and Mrs. Smith back?" ”
Fawkes reached out and poked lightly at Landau's wound and chuckled, "I'm back, I'm recuperating at the base now." Will you go down to meet them? ”
A tingling pain in his thigh came, and Landau looked at Fawkes with a wry smile, "It's not very suitable today, I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”
The door of the window sill that had been pushed open earlier did not close, and a gust of wind blew in the coolness of the autumn day, and the lights in the room changed from bright to dark.
The moon and stars are scarce, and there is nothing to say all night.
Landau took out the necklace from the safe and summoned everyone to the conference room.
Landau, who was sitting on the throne, watched everyone sit down, put the necklace on the table, and slid to John's with a gentle push, "John, this is your share." ”
After pacifying the Smiths who had been ambushed, Landau told everyone about the bloody battle launched by Pushkin.
Landau crossed his hands on the table, and said, "Everyone should be upset and don't be careless." There are more ants to bite the elephant, not to mention that we are the ones with fewer people. ”
After giving everyone a pre-war mobilization, Landau turned to Robert and asked how things were going to Robert.
Knowing that Pyotr Pakhomov had been tied up and thrown in front of the DEA's door, along with evidence of torture, Landau nodded with satisfaction.
That's good news.
Landau turned to Mr. and Mrs. Smith and asked about their trip to Philadelphia.
Apparently the Smiths' trip to Philadelphia was not very happy, and Jane remained silent as John spoke.
Jane Smith only added at the end, "It's all settled." After saying this, a terrifying killing intent emanated from his body.
With his crossed hands raised to support his chin, Landau pondered for a moment the new task assigned to the Smiths to find Rebecca, who had exited.
Since the person hiding behind Pushkin dares to attack me at the Continental Hotel, there is a high probability that Rebecca will be the next target.
Lan Dao added with a straight face: "By using her to catch the people behind it, finding out the mastermind behind the scenes is the key." ”
Seeing that John couldn't wait to put on the necklace, the corners of Landau's mouth with a serious face showed a little smug smile.
Turning his head to look at Christian, who was sitting on his right hand, Landau pondered, "Christian, you and Robert partner up to deal with the decision-makers of the remaining two." ”
Landau said, looking at Mike at the end of the line, assigning him to the two men on the mission.
Landau stood up and glanced around with his hands on the table, "You're good enough to deal with them, but I have to tell you. Death will never fear you because of your abilities, and only those who are cautious enough can avoid it. ”
"Now, the counterattack begins!"
Secretly hinting to everyone in his heart, Landau saw that all the people wearing the necklaces stood up, nodded to him, and walked out of the conference room.
Confused, Mike hurriedly stood up, nodded to Landau, and walked out of the conference room after Christian.
Landau looked at the only one on his left who didn't move, heard the sound of the door closing behind him, and asked quietly, "Do you have any news over there, about the Continental Hotel?" ”
Fox flipped over the information in her hand and said calmly, "The Sisterhood said that the investigators are on their way. ”
As soon as he said this, Landau instantly understood that the Sorority had not placed people at the Continental Hotel in New York.
Winston once said that he had a grudge against Frank, and now when he encountered such trouble, he found Frank as soon as possible.
It seems that the connection between Frank and Winston is far more complicated than I thought.
"Hmm," the groaning Landau propped his head on one hand, thinking about how to find Pushkin and solve him.
After all, Pushkin is now almost alone in New York, and he has not yet been given a specific position.
The vibration in his trouser pocket interrupted Landau's thinking, and when he took out his mobile phone, it turned out to be Andy Dufrey, who he hadn't contacted for a long time.
The big guy is talking, or is there something else? Andy is a man who will never look for me if he has nothing to do.
"My best friend, I heard you've been in some trouble lately?" Andy's voice is no longer dull as before, but full of energy.
"Sort of." Landau calmly responded to Andy, who called suddenly.
Andy's voice was a little flattering, "Landau, it was my problem last time, and I didn't make it clear to you. Your copy is still in the process of being sorted out, and I'll let you know when it's done. If something happens because of this, don't ...... mind."
Sure enough, the big guy who followed me already knew about the Continental Hotel, and even he already knew why I was there.
Landau, who had an answer in his heart, said a few polite words to Andy and hung up the phone.
Landau's index finger lightly tapped the table, frowned and asked Fox: "You read the property transfer documents yesterday, are there any problems with those?" ”
Closing his eyes and recalling for a moment, Fox replied affirmatively: "I don't see any problems, it's a normal transfer agreement." In addition to the location in Mexico. ”
"yes, except that the location is in Mexico...."
Could it be that Abstergo is tempting me? From title documents to letters are their masterpieces?
No way, even if Abstergo tempted me, he would never have arranged for the dead to assassinate me.
Landau suddenly saw that behind the scene of his assassination, there was more than one force standing.
The only thing that is certain is that Pushkin's forces must be at the forefront.
"I'm like.... Already in a huge maelstrom. Landau muttered to himself, lamenting his situation.
Fawkes, who was wearing the black jade plaque, heard what he saw, stood up and walked over to Landau and took his hand, "You're not alone. ”
Shaking Fawkes's hand tightly, feeling the heat transferred from her hand, Landau smiled, "It's not bad, after all, there are still many people who will stand in front of us." ”
Landau took Fox's hand and stood up and hugged her hard, "We have to take the initiative and find Pushkin first." ”
Letting go of his hand, Landau had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and asked Fox hesitantly, "You say, if we go to Mexico, can we catch a big fish?" ”
Fawkes stretched out his finger in front of Landau's lips and shook his head slightly, "Let's settle the Pushkin matter first, and make sure that Abstergo's investigation and temptation of us is over, and then we can think about other things." ”
Indeed, it's just that where exactly is Pushkin hiding?
Landau nodded, agreeing with Fawkes' idea, and walked out of the conference room.
