Chapter 318: The Agent Team's Request
Chapter 318: The Agent Team's Request
The alley behind the restaurant, a narrow intersection between several houses.
The snow reflected the faint blue of the sky, and the winter wind was cold in the shadows of the houses.
A black-haired girl stood here quietly. It was Chloro who had just finished her work.
She was wearing a thick black and white dress, her fine hair fluttering in the wind, waiting for her teammates to arrive.
In the Northern Empire, the secret service regulations are very strict. If there is no clear evidence of death, the team cannot return intact.
Then no matter what the truth is, what awaits them will be an extremely terrible punishment!
The regulation has only one purpose, which is to reduce the defection rate. Black Rand, where human relationships are thinner than the oil film on the water, cannot tolerate any gentleness.
Obey, execute, and then either win and rise, or be trampled underfoot and endure all kinds of humiliation!
The gap between classes is as big as an abyss. Unless you hold real power, every day there will be colder than the coldest winter.
So Chloro waited at the intersection closest to the landmark as usual.
She knew her teammates would come.
Sure enough, after just a few minutes, the wall in front of them began to ripple, and three black shadows floated up as if from underwater, breaking free from the wall and walking out.
Skava, Sylvia and Ruth faced Chloro, and no one spoke for a while.
"Didn't you take any action?" Skava asked in the cold wind.
As the captain, she has few choices. The successive failures not only affect her teammates, but also mean that she and her family will be in the worst situation.
The empire's system of collective responsibility was just as cruel.
"No, my action failed." Chloro said frankly, "It was my elder brother who vouched for me. He wanted me to survive."
There was no fluctuation in her tone, but when the word "alive" was mentioned, the black-eyed girl was no longer as lifeless as before. She was like a tender bud emerging from a rotten tree, showing a faint vitality.
This naturally could not be hidden from Skava's eyes. She frowned and remained silent, "Hei Tong... Do you want to betray the empire?"
Without any detours, the alley suddenly became deserted, the cold wind caressed the unmelted snow in the shadows, and Chrollo nodded.
"Correct."
She grasped the weapon's handle, and the scythe burning with black flames pointed at her former captain.
"Stop me and I'll kill you."
“Hey, hey!” Sylvia was a little flustered. “We are all teammates. There is no need to do this! There will be a way, there will be a way…”
Having said that, they are still afraid of the punishment for mission failure.
Moreover, in the past, they were just minor mistakes, but this time it was a serious fault. If I couldn't make up for it, my life would be completely over.
The Empire has a very good recycling value ability, and every point they have will not be wasted.
"Sylvia, you and Chloro have no family, so I'm afraid you can't understand how Ruth and I feel." Skava's voice was hoarse and exhausted.
The darker the place, the more precious the light.
Family, even if it is just a little affection to the outside world, is already precious to them.
"This mission must succeed!"
"But, but, how could a princess who has been assassinated repeatedly still have the chance to take action? She already knows our identities." Sylvia really didn't know what to do.
"Didn't you notice?" Skava shook his head: "Princess Midara didn't issue a wanted notice for us."
"Huh? Really? Why didn't she send it?" Sylvia suddenly asked in confusion.
"At first, I thought it was Hei Tong who betrayed us. The United Princess set a trap for us. There was no need to do anything unnecessary." The pink-purple eyes stared at the black-eyed girl.
"But I don't think you would do that given your personality." Skava concluded calmly, "You wouldn't lie about this kind of thing either."
"Then there is only one possibility left. Princess Midara doesn't want to make things too awkward for the sake of your brother Misr."
"Eh? But what about this?"
Sylvia shook her tail, still not understanding what the captain meant. "No matter how much the princess values relationships, she wouldn't be willing to let us kill her, right?"
Skava took a deep breath and showed a surprised look, "A mature politician, facing the threat of his own life, can actually put it down for one person..."
"Why do you think this is?"
"That's the value of Misr Fan. It's even greater than we thought! So much so that Midara is willing to swallow his anger for it."
"We've all enjoyed the benefits of those foods."
"A princess who only rules the labyrinth area has at most a certain value of being cleared."
"But Misr Fan is a man of absolute strategic value! His significance is far greater than assassinating the princess! As long as we can report these situations and bring him back to the empire."
"You can then make up for your mistakes and even achieve greater merits!"
Skavar finished his words in one breath, all the while staring at Chloro, catching the gradually rising ferocity in her eyes.
"You want to use Brother-sama? Use him to gain credit?"
"You guys?" Skava sighed, "Has it come to this?"
Looking at Chrollo, whose weapon was smoldering with black flames and who was ready to attack at any time, she shook her head and said, "Don't be nervous. We can't beat Misr."
"Not to mention that you and Sylvia were killed instantly during the first assassination attempt. With the people in the restaurant now, we have no chance of winning."
"So what do you want? It's impossible for the elder brother to go to the Empire with you. He only wants to run a restaurant in Maze Street." Chloro already understood Fan Wei's intention.
Touched by the gentle light in him.
Although this went against her previous beliefs, she was gradually infected by that hope.
"That's hard to say." Insight into people's hearts flickered in his pink-purple eyes. Skava had already made a plan. "As the former captain, I only have one request of you."
"Let's meet with Misr Van!"
Dark and emotionless eyes looked at his former teammates, scanning them one by one, Chrollo held his weapon, and finally nodded slowly.
"Okay, I can only tell my brother."
"You...you are not allowed to try to hurt him!"
Skava smiled and wrote as if in victory, "This is natural."
......
At this moment, a smile also appeared on Fan Wei's face.
After watching the development of the people in the maze, he felt that the way forward was clear! As long as the development is carried out step by step, a happy future will surely be realized through hard work!
"Hey, you're back." When I returned to the restaurant and went downstairs, I happened to meet Gonia who seemed to be waiting there.
Looking at the stubborn blonde girl, Fan Wei smiled and asked, "What's wrong? Did you encounter any difficulties?"
"No, no!" Proudly turning her head, Gonia said proudly, "I just came to inform you that I want to be independent from now on and go on adventures in the maze!"
"Huh? Okay!"
Fan Wei suddenly became excited. This kid is finally not staying at home anymore! It is good for the body to go out and exercise more!
Being promised so readily made Ge Niya feel inexplicably unhappy, "I say... aren't you afraid that I will run away and never come back?"
"Why?" Fan Wei was really stunned, "Is the food in the restaurant not delicious anymore?"
"You!" Gonia was so angry that she raised her fist and smashed the stupid mortal's chest. "Idiot! Idiot! Hateful!"
As a goddess, an ancient deity with peerless beauty, in his mind, she is not as important as a meal? It makes me so angry! !
The blonde girl turned and ran away in Fan Wei's surprised eyes.
Speaking of which, it seems that Gonia suddenly reached five stars, Fan Wei thought as he checked the system.
"Brother, she attacked you. Do you need to get rid of the traitor?" Another voice came from the side.
If Clara's voice is like sweet smoothie, then Chloro's voice is like mint ice cubes, giving people a refreshing feeling in its coldness.
"Uh, just kidding."
Turning to face the black-eyed girl, Fan Wei bent down and said, "It's the same with Chloro. You don't have to be so tense every day. You can go out and play with Clara and Gonia during the holidays."
"I see you have a pretty good relationship."
Gonia, who always speaks wildly, is very polite only to Clara and Chloro. It turns out that it is easier for girls of similar age to develop friendships.
The real relationship between them must be much better than his! Fan Wei still thinks so.
"If this is what Brother asks..." Chrollo could force himself to suppress his disgust for the blond idiot.
"Chloro, I feel like you have something to say to me."
"Brother, my former teammates want to meet you." The girl made a cut for herself, even though it seemed selfish and heartless to say so.
But she didn't want to give her elder brother any chance of misunderstanding.
"Is it Miss Skava and the others..." Fan Wei thought silently, and finally nodded, "Okay, we'll meet on the second floor."
Chloro had already confessed his identity to him before.
Fan Wei had mixed feelings towards this spy team from the empire. They were friends who had eaten together and worked together.
But they wanted to kill Midara. Although they were just following orders, they could not wash away the fact that they were in the hostile camp.
Fan Wei didn't know what they wanted to say if they didn't run away, but he would still listen.
This is a respect for the friendship of the past.
(ps It’s late again… It seems that as long as I relax a little, I can’t get nervous. I can only type a short section every day, and then procrastinate until I feel sleepy, and I can’t complete the task as expected.
It turns out that I am a person with very little self-control and I will never give myself a chance to relax.
I’ll write another chapter tomorrow, I must give it a try...!
Thank you very much for your patience in reading what I write o(╥﹏╥)o Thank you very much for your feedback!!
I’m almost done testing a million books. Once another book has passed the first seven days, I’ll come back and speed up the sprint! )
