The middle-aged man's face finally regained his composure, and he took a few sips of the water on the table.
"It's news from the empire." The female secretary moved cautiously, fearing that any omission might ignite the anger of the man in front of her again. As she spoke, she opened the document in her hand and handed it over.
The document is labeled, with Imperial Minerals' logo prominently on it, and a series of neatly formatted dates and notes.
The content was very simple. The standard document font showed that what happened in Brino coincided with a mission at the military school. The middle-aged man read it for a long time, and after reading it, he began to rub his temples non-stop. There.
There was a "chugging" pain, and the bulging blood vessels showed the steady beating frequency of the heart.
"The team over there probably didn't succeed, right?" He closed the document and was taken over by the secretary.
"According to the news, it can be regarded as a success, but the result is a failure." Among the row of deputies, a man wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses spoke. He was thin and hugged his back slightly. The sign on his chest indicated that he was in charge.
Communication.
"How to say,,,"
"It was explained over there that the team sent out is absolutely excellent and will not be at a disadvantage against any team of the same level. The specifications within the company are equivalent to that of a night watch guard."
The director immediately interrupted, "But people have not grasped the key point and the result! There are many aspects involved in this matter, and people with some ideas in their heads know how to find various reasons to shirk responsibility. What I want is not the empire.
Rhetoric!"
The man with black-framed glasses lowered his head and said, "The team successfully captured two people on the way. One is from the King's faction of the military school, and the other is the successor candidate of the Hill family of the seminary. Indeed, four solid-state sticks were found on them.
Red mercury, instant messaging and photos at that time were all there,,,"
"But in the end, neither people nor things successfully arrived at the company headquarters, and even the supporting troops could not wait." The director sighed, and this matter was mentioned in the document.
"Yes, according to the later intelligence summary, it was determined that at the same time, someone from the Hill family was dispatched. It seemed that he was a colonel-level personnel who had just returned from far away. As you know, Mr. Director, many people from the Hill family were...
They are agents and assassins. And the extremely secretive method of transmitting information and marking notes among their family members makes it difficult for us to defend ourselves." The man in glasses kept his tone calm, "All the people in that team were dead. When the support team arrived,
The corpses of more than a dozen people were almost completely corroded by the drugs. I heard that people from the king's faction were also sent back later."
The man in glasses paused here: "An emergency meeting was held over there, but no specific measures were decided for several days. But the person who sent the news said that the stall caused by this matter is likely to be lost.
Give us the gray area here."
"I had expected it." The middle-aged man snorted coldly, "We have seen this kind of thing a lot, especially when the empire is being dragged down by several other annoying things."
"Inform the leaders of several other cities and set a time to meet for a meeting tomorrow. Let's discuss a plan to deal with this matter."
"Yes!"
A corner of the city exploded, and the sound of explosions could be heard over a large area.
Ordinary people want to watch the excitement, but of course the first thing to do in this case is to run away from the explosion area as far as possible. The people who were chasing Cassia and the others hidden in the crowd all took off their
Disguise, speed up and approach the alley of low buildings in front of you.
The number of people pursuing them increased exponentially in the later period. At this time, the alleyways and the rooftops of the rooms were all full of people belonging to different forces. The smoke had not dispersed yet, but countless pairs of eyes had already gathered on the ruins of a pile of houses.
It was destroyed by the impact of the explosion. There were several corpses with bodies penetrated by shrapnel underneath, and blood was only now flowing out from under the building blocks.
There is an underground sewer nearby, and the covers are tightly closed, but under the strong light of a flashlight, obvious signs of looseness can still be seen.
The target they were chasing had entered the underground waterway and fled elsewhere. Almost everyone thought so.
The premise is that if Cassia and Lina did not stand on the roof of the small house with strong flashlights like the people chasing around, looking at the black cover of the underground sewer.
They did not go down, but wiped off the makeup on their faces, pretended to be people who were being pursued by a certain force, and used explosive photos to successfully blend in with the pursuing team.
Cassia is very familiar with the underground sewers of various cities, especially those in such giant cities. Because of the emission volume, their specifications will be relatively large, and it is not a problem to accommodate a few people in them. But he also has limitations. In some
In the case of complete water channel drawings, because the position of each cover is fixed, as long as there are enough people, it is easy to be caught by the enemy somewhere.
When walking through the underground waterway, we can only compete in terms of speed between the two. Whether Cassia and the others opened the lid first to escape, or whether the enemy arrived in advance to guard them, no one can provide a clear answer.
Everyone looked ugly, and some people were already reporting the relevant situation to their superiors. The transmission of information became active at this moment, and countless messages shuttled over the city at irregular frequencies.
More people were dispatched, each with a waterway map and all possible portraits and photos of Cassia and the others. Those people knew that the two people being chased wore makeup.
But this has nothing to do with Cassia and the others. They returned to the hotel as pursuers.
"There was a lot of noise. Someone came here to check." Delya looked like she had a headache.
"It was a huge mistake. We were prepared, but we didn't expect that the value of red mercury would be so great." Cassia shook her head and smiled, and Lina had already gone over and hugged Silla.
After immediately processing any clues that could be linked to their identities, the four of them boarded a train to another giant city in the early morning with a little time left.
The whistle blew, and a plain shadow could be seen outside the window. The moon was still there, and many stars representing different meanings gradually disappeared, and they felt relieved.
"The remaining red mercury fragments are no longer for sale. We are now capable of doing this business. If those people weren't a little unsure of our background and identity, and were greedy and wanted to use us to pull out bigger fish that might exist,
Otherwise, this matter will be put to rest right from the start." All four people sighed.
At around nine o'clock, they finally arrived at another giant city. No one fell asleep, and the four of them were all under pressure.
