Chapter 121: Emergency Contact

Curt didn't think about being threatened, because he didn't feel that it was worth anyone to target him with his influence.

But not thinking about it did not mean that such a situation would cause him any trouble, and that it was impossible to compromise - this was already certain from the beginning. No matter who the other party is, as long as there is a slight compromise, such a concession will become a sharp blade in the hands of the other party.

Never compromise with any form of violence, because as long as those who use violence to threaten taste a little sweetness, it is impossible to stop lightly.

Compromise and concession will only give the enemy an inch, and although he has not experienced such a thing firsthand, Curt has seen the end of those who compromise and retreat more than once in the past. Because of the temporary compromise and concession, the other party intensified the persecution, and in the end it will always come to a tragic end.

This was not an outcome that Curt would be happy to see.

After all, Curt felt that the same threatening letter must have been sent to someone else who could influence the direction of the investigation. In fact. Curt thinks that it may be because only one of his own mercenaries is involved in this incident in the current huge mercenary management office, so the threat letter will be sent to him.

He may not compromise with the terms offered by the True Eye, but he can't make a decision for those people as well. In most people's minds, the things they value are of different value, and the value of these things is often compared to the investigation of the "true eye".

If the "True Eye" prescribes conditions that are enough to shake their minds, it is not impossible for them to defect. Take a step back. Even if everyone is an unwavering warrior and will not give up their faith because of this simple threatening letter, it doesn't matter.

It is enough for the fact that "someone sent a threatening letter" to reach those who could influence the direction of the investigation. The forces that are already suspicious of each other will surely wonder if there are people in their own camp or those groups with the same interests who have fallen to the other side.

The seeds of suspicion have been planted. Just waiting for it to grow slowly is enough to generate the germ of turmoil and unrest - and this alone has already brought some of the "True Eye" project to fruition. And if there were any renegades hiding in the ranks of the investigators, each of them would have been a part of the success of the mob's plot, and the consequences would have been unimaginable.

It's not that Curt doesn't want to pretend to agree to the "True Eye" request and then take the opportunity to spy on the inner workings of the group. But he also knew that such an attempt was quite unrealistic. It is impossible for those people not to think of such a possibility, and they are unlikely to let their "new friends" know too much about their organization in the short term - until their "new friends" become their actual help.

Forget it...... At the thought of conducting an investigation as an undercover agent, Curt immediately rejected the idea. He didn't think he was up to the job.

Neatly folded the threat letter in his hand and retracted it into the envelope, Curt stood up and prepared to leave the café. At this moment, the sword star crest pinned to his chest suddenly shuddered slightly, and a faint metal beep reached Curt's ears from the back of the badge.

An urgent call from the Mercenary Management Office? Even Curt raised his eyebrows in surprise.

When the Mercenary Administration grants a badge with an identity function to a mercenary, a simple Rubik's cube for positioning is embedded inside the badge. The Administration can use the spell guò to locate where the mercenaries are now. If necessary, it is also possible to contact the mercenaries through the guò spell, so that they can get in touch with the management office as much as possible.

Although the badge has this function, the management office has not made much use of it. After all, the spell used for positioning only determines the position of the emblem, and the badge is not connected to the mercenary itself. If a mercenary takes off the badge and throws it in a random place, the management office will not know.

In contrast, although the function of calling is a little more useful than the positioning function, it is also quite doubtful how much of this "point" is actually done. In essence, the Mercenary Management Office can only be regarded as a loosely managed vigilante group, and the management office mainly manages the work distribution and salary of mercenaries. The rules and regulations only regulate the behavior of mercenaries at work, and basically do not regulate the daily actions of mercenaries.

If a mercenary gets a job. The management office will usually stop assigning tasks to him, after all, even if he is asked to rush back immediately, it is difficult for a strong man. Mercenaries who don't have a job usually gather in the practice ground in the backyard all day long, and all they need to do is go to the backyard and shout if they want to find them.

In other words, the function of this badge is quite weak - the positioning will be deviated due to the influence of external forces, and the summoned person is either working or does not need to look for it. It's really tasteless, it's a pity to abandon it, maybe the designer at that time had a good point, but the problem only appeared when it was actually used.

Perhaps because of this, Curt hadn't heard any movement from the badge on his chest for a long time. The last time was more than a year ago, when the eldest sister used this function for a trivial matter, and it turned out that Curt, who was still in the suburbs, almost broke his leg before finding a phone in a nearby town.

Today, however, it seems that Curt can avoid such a dilemma, and there are several coin-operated telephone booths standing outside the coffee shop. Rectangular boxes made of red tin and glass line the edge of the road, each containing a black telephone.

"Hey, operator? It's me, Curt. After throwing in a few coins and getting through the phone number of the management office, Curt casually said a few words to the operator, and then went straight to the point, "Please help me call the eldest sister, she has something to find me? ”

The operator of the mercenary management office has dealt with Curt more than once, and the eldest sister seems to have told him to wait for Curt to contact him at any time not long ago. After a while, Curt's call was forwarded to the eldest sister, and he was greeted by a roar of rage.

"Curt, where are you now, look at the good things you've done!"

Curt had seen the eldest sister's temper, but he had never seen her yell at herself so loudly, and even the telephone receiver in her hand seemed to tremble slightly. The anger of the eldest sister could be felt on the phone side, let alone the management office? Curt had already faintly heard the operator's complaints.

Curt, who was confused by the yell, was stunned for a moment. When she used the phone of the garrison to report the progress of the investigation to the eldest sister just now, she also praised Curt's appearance, saying that this was "suing the lazy bones of the guards, the mercenaries are much more useful than them", why did she suddenly roar?

"Uh...... What good things have I done? Sister, I don't know what you say. Inexplicably, Curt tentatively said to the other end of the phone, "Is there something going on over there in the management office?" I just came out of the guard building, and I'm still on my way to Pratt Street. ”

Regarding Curt's reaction, the eldest sister's reply was simple and clear: "Then you can come back to me quickly! If you come, go directly to my office, I still have something to ask you!"

With that, she hung up the phone, and all that came to Curt's ears was the aftermath of a beep. Curt, who was still inexplicable, glanced at the telephone receiver and hung up the phone with a stiff face.

There was still a little distance from the location where Curt called to the South Wind Tavern, so he had to rush back to the management office as much as the eldest sister asked. After a dozen minutes, Curt returned to the tavern-office building, and before he could catch his breath, he was led into the eldest sister's office.

"Curt, you know, I've always felt that being the head of the mercenary management office is something to be hated for. After motioning for the others to leave, the eldest sister spoke, "But I didn't expect that I would be sent a threatening letter because my mercenaries were involved in a certain job." ”

With that, she dropped a heavy envelope into Curt's hand, which looked the same as the threatening letter Curt had received, with the only slight difference in the thickness of the letter. Presumably, compared to an immigrant of unknown origin like Curt, the eldest sister has more things that can be used to threaten.

Glancing at the threat letter in his hand, Curt felt that the eldest sister was not the one who should have received the gadgets - although she was nominally the head of the mercenary management office, the eldest sister did not have much real power. If I had to say it, she was actually not worth being threatened by more than Curt.

But this is only Curt's own thoughts, and he is well aware that the other party will not necessarily act according to his own ideas. Perhaps the eldest sister, who has little value in his eyes, is in a pivotal position in the plan of the "True Eye", and is more valuable than the elusive Curt.

After examining the threatening letter received by the eldest sister, Curt took out his own copy from his pocket with a smile on his face and put it in front of the eldest sister's head and said, "What a coincidence, I also received the same thing - it seems that our 'friends' are more enthusiastic than we thought." ”

The point of cross-coercion is that the two parties being coerced do not know that the other party is also threatened, so that they have the idea that "there is no way to do this to protect them". To achieve this, the most important thing is to control the flow of information between objects.

It is clear that the people of the True Eye did not do this job, or rather, they did not do a thorough investigation in advance when selecting the subject.

"Big sister, Leonster, are you done?" Just as Curt and Big Sister were discussing the contents of the threatening letter, the operator knocked on the office door, "Oscar Logries from that academy said he had something to contact you, it seems to have something to do with Leinster's sister."
