Birmingham, the second largest city in the UK, has an international airport.
"You may know that Birmingham is the largest and most concentrated industrial area in the world. More than 25% of the UK's export products are manufactured in the Birmingham area. It is the second largest city in the UK. However, you must not know that this was once just a small village.
.It became a town in the 14th century. After the discovery of coal mines, it gradually developed into a city. It was only included in the British city directory in 1889..."
Elizabeth looked excited and kept talking, like an enthusiastic tour guide. Behind her were Zuo Han and Song Ya who looked helpless.
When in Dubai, Elizabeth was very depressed because she overslept and did not attend the prince's dinner. Especially after hearing that some things had happened, she became even more upset and kept complaining to Zuo Han about why he didn't wake her up.
Zuo Han thought he could get rid of her and secretly booked a flight to England.
But who would have thought that Elizabeth found out and boarded the same flight as Zuo Han and Song Ya.
According to Elizabeth, if I go to other places, you may slip away. But if I go to England, it is my mother's territory.
This time, Elizabeth also learned to be smart. She didn't ask Zuo Han what he was going to do, and just followed him closely, exactly the same way as when he pestered Liu Yun.
There was no other way, Zuo Han had no choice but to accept that there was such an extra member in the team. Anyway, he was not familiar with the place in England, so he became an extra tour guide. If something happened, just get rid of her like he did in Dubai.
"Okay, the beautiful tour guide will introduce us to the glorious days of Birmingham another day." Zuo Han interrupted Elizabeth who was talking endlessly and said: "Let's go to Komut. Do you have any news about it?"
"It's an inconspicuous town. If you don't tell me, I won't even know about it." Elizabeth's interest waned.
Komut is a small British town in a remote mountainous area. Let alone an airport, it doesn't even have a decent road. If Zuo Han hadn't said it, Elizabeth wouldn't have known there was such a place in the UK. Although Birmingham is the nearest airport there
, but there are still several days of journey to get there.
Elizabeth had already found a car in advance and was now waiting outside the airport. Several people were walking out while talking. Suddenly they were stopped by an excited male voice.
"Elizabeth?!!"
Everyone looked back and saw a young man running over with excitement on his face.
Wearing a dark suit, holding a briefcase, and wearing hair wax, he looked like a typical office clerk.
"It's so unlucky that I met him..." Elizabeth muttered depressedly.
Song Ya didn't show anything, but Zuo Han couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, looking at the young man with a confused look.
"Is this your friend? When did you return to England? How did you come to Birmingham?" The young man was too enthusiastic.
Elizabeth didn't take it seriously and said to Zuo Han and Song Ya: "Let me introduce you. This guy's name is Jack Thomson, and he is a third-rate lawyer."
"Elizabeth, correct me." The young man adjusted his tie and said with some pride: "I am a barrister and I will have my own law firm soon. You can call me Jack."
There are no pure lawyers in the UK, only barristers and junior lawyers. There is no affiliation between the two, but the status of a barrister is far beyond that of a junior lawyer. Excellent barristers may even be directly appointed as judges of the High Court.
Social status is evident.
"Whatever you are." Elizabeth said as if swatting away flies: "I came with two friends. I will call you when I'm done."
"I'm here to do something too. I just got off the plane. What are you doing here? Where are you going? Maybe I can give you a ride." Jack seemed to be very used to Elizabeth's attitude towards him, and he didn't feel angry at all.
"Come for a trip." Elizabeth said impatiently: "We will definitely have trouble with you when we go to Komut."
"Comt?" Jack's expression changed inexplicably. He hesitated and said, "Are you just going on a trip?"
"It's just a trip, introduced by a friend." Zuo Han remained calm. But the look he looked at Jack became more and more strange.
As they talked, several people walked out of the airport hall, where many vehicles were waiting outside.
In front of a car, a man who must have been middle-aged stood outside and looked around. The window of the cab was rolled down halfway. The driver was snoring and had a hat on his face. Judging from his skin color, he should be Asian.
"Mr. Jack." The middle-aged man saw Jack and waved vigorously.
Jack hesitated for a moment and said to Elizabeth: "Actually, I have something to go to Komut. A mountain bike race is going to be held there. It is sponsored by my father's company. Since it goes well, you can take my car."
"No." Elizabeth refused without hesitation: "We have a car."
"Then I'll come with you." Jack accepted it smoothly, and then said to the middle-aged man who ran over: "You go back first, I will go there with my friends."
Elizabeth was very angry at Jack's behavior of not treating her as an outsider, and immediately started a quarrel. But Jack just smiled apologetically and didn't seem to be angry at all.
The middle-aged man who picked him up was a little embarrassed. He walked to the car and woke up the driver, probably because he wanted to discuss it.
The driver opened the car door, as if he wanted to get out of the car, but when he looked towards Jack, he stopped immediately, as if he had been hit by some kind of immobilization spell, and his expression was indescribably weird.
But his eyes were not looking at Jack, but at Zuo Han.
Zuo Han realized that someone was looking at him and turned his gaze.
As soon as Zuo Han looked over, the driver slammed the door shut, rolled up the window, and the car roared out, leaving the middle-aged man yelling on the spot.
Zuo Han glanced at the leaving car suspiciously.
Did you see it wrong? It shouldn't be that coincidental?
"This guy is really annoying." Song Ya couldn't stand Jack and muttered.
Zuo Han turned his attention back and whispered: "There is something wrong with this person."
"What's the problem?" Song Ya's eyes narrowed.
"I can't say..." Zuo Han hesitated for the first time and said vaguely: "Anyway, be careful of him."
"Oh..." Song Ya was a little strange, but still nodded.
Elizabeth finally insisted not to let Jack follow her. After finding the car she had contacted in advance, she took Zuo Han and Song Ya into the car and locked Jack out of the car door.
Looking at Jack standing on the roadside from the rear window, Zuo Han's doubts did not disappear at all.
"Have you known Jack for a long time?" Zuo Han asked Elizabeth.
"I recognized that nerd when I was a kid." Elizabeth hummed, "When I was a kid, I was the one who stood up for him when he was bullied all day long. When I got older, I didn't know how to repay the favor and instead stuck around all day long. It's really annoying..."
Listening to Elizabeth's complaints, Zuo Han's eyes flickered.
From the outside, this Jack was no different from an ordinary person. But when he got close, Zuo Han felt an inexplicable sense of danger. The level of threat was not much weaker than that of Makona. However, no matter how Zuo Han tried to check,
I don't see anything special about Jack.
Moreover, when he heard the name of the town of Komut, his reaction was also strange.
Could this guy have anything to do with the Holy Knights?
………………
In a hotel room in Las Vegas, United States.
A young man with long brown hair was leaning on the bed, as if he was watching TV with a remote control, but he had a strange pair of glasses on his face, as if he was talking to someone else.
The 7th Holy Knights, the 13th team vice-captain Sass, a level 20 strong man.
Under the supervision of Skynet, his strength is currently level 10.
"Something seems to have happened to Moro, you must be careful..." Sass pressed the remote control, and the pictures on the TV kept changing.
"Vice Captain, let's just wait and not investigate?" A voice hesitated: "It's too unusual for two people to lose news."
"The remains of the Battle Angel were also missing with the others. In other words, the other party's purpose is likely to be the same as ours." Sasse said:
"If Moro and the others are really poisoned, the investigation will yield no results. Since we all have the same goal, we might as well keep quiet. During this period, you should not approach the mission target, but pay attention and observe. If there is anything
Don’t act rashly if you find it, please contact me as soon as possible.”
The voice quickly said yes, but suddenly another hoarse voice appeared, seemingly disapproving.
"Sir Vice-Captain, they are just some cowardly reptiles. It's just hiding like this that gives those rubbish an opportunity. If you are willing to let us go free, Moro and the others might not be dead."
"Baga, are you questioning me again?" Sass said in a deep voice: "We know too little about this planet, so we must be cautious."
The hoarse voice replied disapprovingly: "Their network is very developed, and all information can be found. Even those things called biochemicals will not pose a threat to us. Even if they use a huge army or nuclear weapons, we will not
You can hide..."
"Baga, you can question my decision, but you can't disobey my order." Sass said: "In short, you are not allowed to act rashly."
"Okay, you have the final say." Baga seemed a little unconvinced.
Sasi was silent for a while and said: "I know your habits. As long as you don't make a big deal out of it, you are allowed to do something to vent your emotions. But you must remember that you cannot take action against the target."
"Haha, is it true? I happen to have a plan, and there are friends of mine on this planet..." Baga seemed very excited, babbled a few more words, and hung up the communication.
Another voice then spoke up: "Vice Captain, you are too indulgent towards Baga. His bad habits will ruin this mission."
"It's just because I was worried about his problem that I let him be released appropriately." Sass raised the corner of his mouth and hummed: "Also, let him do something in that British town, maybe we can draw out that mysterious enemy.
"
"The vice-captain is wise!" The other voice contained no emotion or anger. (To be continued...)
