Decent attire, respectful posture, and that familiar yet slightly unfamiliar old face.
Ray Mingkai looked at the old man guarding the door and quickly remembered his name.
"Jack. Sir Mallory's butler. "
The old man who was called by Ray Mingkai bowed slightly and greeted Ray Mingkai, "Yes, I am Jack. I didn't expect Sir Ray to remember my name, it's an honor. "
Ray Mingkai patted Mira's shoulder and motioned for her to open the door first before inviting Jack in.
"Jack, please come in!"
"Yes! It's an honor. "
After some pleasantries, Jack sat on the sofa in Lei Mingkai's house. However, he politely declined Lei Mingkai's offer to have Mira serve him tea.
"Sir Ray Mingkai. Today, I'm here under orders. There's no need for Miss Mira to do these things herself. "
Jack's firm attitude made Ray Mingkai frown slightly, but he didn't insist on it. So, Ray Mingkai gestured for Jack to continue.
Jack glanced at Mira who was sitting quietly next to him and didn't say much, but went straight to the topic.
"From the looks of the two of you, it might be a good time to study here. But, does Sir Ray Mingkai know about the current situation in the dark world? "
"Have the forces targeting certain special groups started their activities?"
Jack's opening remarks were nothing new, and Lei Mingkai could see the intention behind them as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Yes. My master found out through some channels that after Miss Mira was rescued by you, the forces that tried to use a special group to steal uncontrollable power were unwilling to fail, so they took the next step. "
"Next step? Were they eyeing other targets? Or have they found Mira? "
Upon hearing Lei Mingkai mention her name, Mira's entire body trembled. Her originally calm appearance began to change into one of panic.
In the beginning, Ray Mingkai and Jack didn't mention Mira, but Mira was smart enough to know that they seemed to be talking about something related to her.
Especially after Ray Mingkai directly mentioned Mira's name, the fear in Mira's heart that hadn't been eliminated emerged again. Just as Mira was about to be dominated by the fear of those inhumane experiments, a warm hand pressed on Mira's shoulder.
"Don't worry! Mira. You won't come back to that nightmarish hell. This, I can guarantee in the name of the Britannia Empire. "
Ray Mingkai's voice seemed to have a powerful force, and instantly dispelled the fear in Mira's heart.
Seeing Mira's face gradually calming down, Jack who was sitting at the side was lost in thought. His arrival was naturally Malory's idea.
Otherwise, Malory wouldn't have sent his trusted aide, Old Jack, to this faraway country separated by the ocean. While informing Ray Mingkai to be careful of some dark forces, he also had some intentions of probing.
The most obvious purpose was to try and find out the situation of the forces behind Ray Mingkai.
However, Old Jack, who was mentally prepared for a difficult test, was surprised to find that the most difficult goal in his heart was accomplished so easily.
This was as easy as picking up a stone on the road.
However, even though Ray Mingkai had just comforted Mira and mentioned the name of the Britannia Empire, Jack didn't rashly open his mouth to ask.
It was one thing for Mira to mention it, but whether he could open his mouth to ask was another matter. However, Jack now had a faint itch in his heart, and he couldn't wait to find out the name of the Britannia Empire that Ray Mingkai mentioned.
"Sorry for making a fool of myself! Mira's mental state isn't very stable now. Perhaps, our topic has somewhat agitated Mira. "
After comforting Mira and gently sending her back to her room, Ray Mingkai returned to his seat with an apologetic smile.
"No, I was the one who acted rashly. Due to the urgency of the situation, I didn't take Miss Mira's mental state into consideration. This is my dereliction of duty! After I return to ask the old master, I will send an apology gift to Miss Mira. Please rest assured, Sir Ray Mingkai! "
Jack's expression became extremely solemn, making Ray Mingkai unable to find any flaw in his attitude that could be rejected.
"Alright! Since Jack is so insistent, I can't refuse. However, whether Mira will accept or not is not something I can influence. "
"Yes. I fully understand this. Then, back to the main topic. Sir Ray Mingkai, please listen to me. This time, I beg you and Miss Mira to not participate in the study trip of the generation high school. "
As Malory's envoy, Jack finally revealed the purpose of his trip.
"Study trip?"
When Jack said this, he fell into Ray Mingkai's trap.
He didn't expect that on the eve of the study trip, Malory, who was far away in Australia, would actually send a trusted aide to warn him. This was really unexpected for Ray Mingkai.
However, Ray Mingkai knew that this was only a test.
"Thank you for your kindness, Sir Malory! However, no matter what happens during the study trip, my answer is still to continue. Although this study trip is not something worth looking forward to personally, for Mira, it is an opportunity to interact with the surrounding people as much as possible. "
Ray Mingkai's answer made Jack frown, but he didn't say anything. It was as if his duty was only to inform Ray Mingkai to be careful, or to stay away from the study trip, which was about to open a huge pit.
"Since Sir Ray Mingkai has already made up his mind, then, I can't say anything more. This is the end of my mission. Sir Ray Mingkai, please allow me to leave first. "
However, just as Jack got up to leave, Ray Mingkai suddenly called him.
"Jack. The person leading this operation is called Nine Dragons, right? "
For a moment, Jack's footsteps paused.
Even if Jack's back was facing Ray Mingkai, Ray Mingkai could still sense that Jack's current expression should be very interesting.
After a while, Jack slowly nodded.
"Yes. Sir Ray Mingkai is right. The person leading this operation is Nine Dragons, as well as some people in the KGB. "
"Is that so? I see. Help me pass a message to Malory. Say that I am very grateful for Sir Malory's kindness. If there is a chance, I hope to have dinner with Sir Malory again. "
As soon as Lei Mingkai finished speaking, Jack, who had his back facing Lei Mingkai, turned around once again and bowed with a respectful expression, saying, "I'm sorry.
"Yes! Sir Ray Mingkai. I will bring your words back to my master in its entirety. Finally, I hope that Miss Mira can recover as soon as possible! "
"En. I thank you for your kindness on behalf of Mira! Jack. "
"Then, Sir, I will take my leave."
As the door closed, Jack's figure also disappeared outside the door.
"Did you do it on purpose?"
When the sound of a car starting came from downstairs, White Cat Zero's figure appeared from behind the sofa, and jumped onto the table, slightly raising its head to look at Ray Mingkai.
"On purpose? What did I do on purpose? "
Ray Mingkai took out a bottle of purified water from the fridge, and said casually while opening it.
"The matter of exposing the Britannia Empire." White Cat Zero looked at Ray Mingkai drinking a few mouthfuls of water, and said again.
"About this! Zero, have you heard of false and true, true and false? "
"Speak human language! Mingkai! Don't say these things that are giving me a headache. "
Ray Mingkai's words almost made White Cat Zero explode on the spot.
"Hehe."
Lei Mingkai smiled and casually put the purified water aside before continuing, "You're right.
"If I put on a serious attitude and said the name of the Britannia Empire, do you think they will believe it?"
White Cat Zero immediately looked at Ray Mingkai with disdain, the meaning was self-evident.
"Yes! As long as the humans in this world have a little understanding of the international situation, they will definitely know that the Britannia Empire will never exist in this world. "
"Pa!"
At this point, Ray Mingkai snapped his fingers.
"But, what if I casually said the name of the Britannia Empire? What do you think these people, who have doubts about Lancelot's appearance and the technology he possesses, will think? "
Ray Mingkai's hint was straightforward enough.
Even White Cat Zero, who was too lazy to care about this, already understood Ray Mingkai's meaning.
"Mingkai! You liar! Are you still a Knight? "
Ray Mingkai shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands.
"I have never thought of myself as a Knight."
White Cat Zero waved its claws in disdain and pointed at Ray Mingkai with its sharp claws. "Then are you still Her Majesty the Empress' Guardian Knight!?"
At the mention of this, Ray Mingkai's expression suddenly became solemn.
"Of course! Ray Mingkai will definitely be Her Majesty the Empress Euphemia 'Guardian Knight in this life! "
"Then you still say that you are not a Knight?!"
In the next second, White Cat Zero turned the topic back to Ray Mingkai's denial that he was a Knight.
In this regard, Ray Mingkai still spread his hands.
"That's two different things."
"Roar! Ray Mingkai, you big liar! "
"This is a strategy!"
— — —
In fact, just as Mallory sent someone to inform Ray Mingkai, a conspiracy was gradually unfolding.
However, this time, the target was not as simple as Chidori wanting the girl who stood aloof from worldly affairs. Instead, the target was expanded to the second and third person.
In the cold Easternmost Land, the man known as Jiu Long stood on a hillside and silently looked down at the base that had begun to become busy.
The person standing next to him was the KGB branch director that he met on the bridge before. However, the bodyguard beside the branch chief was no longer the bear-like man, but another man who was slightly inferior, but still had a strong build.
"Jiu Long! Can your plan really succeed? This is not as simple as having a single target. If this operation fails, I'm afraid that what we've provoked will not be as simple as that Mithril. "
The branch director retracted his gaze from the busy base and looked at the ruthless man standing next to him who pulled out his gun without saying a word.
In the previous meeting, according to the usual routine, the guard who played the bad cop was directly shot by this man. There was not the slightest sign of it happening.
It was as if, in the eyes of this man named Jiu Long, there was no existence of life.
"Hey! Branch director. Are you afraid? " Jiu Long moved his eyes that were indifferent to life and death, looked at the branch director who was shorter than him and smiled slightly.
"However, that's also true. Whether it's the two superpowers in the world or Mithril who has control of black technology that surpasses the world for more than ten years, they don't have the technology to allow the AS to fly freely in the sky like a fighter. "
Thinking of the pair of light wings that were stunning no matter when he looked at it, Jiu Long's eyes revealed a rare trace of interest.
"A force with such advanced technology is actually unknown to the public. Moreover, their goal seems to be the Whisperers. Don't tell me, branch director, you didn't think of anything? "
Jiu Long's deliberate guidance was very effective.
As soon as his voice fell, the branch director suddenly realized something.
"Is it the hidden power of that force?"
Jiu Long looked at the branch director who suddenly realized something, and smiled.
"Who knows? But, in this world, only the Whisperers can possess such powerful black technology. "
The branch director took several deep breaths and barely suppressed the growing excitement in his heart.
"Jiu Long. Although the benefits of this operation are great, the risks are also great. If we fail, we will face the situation of provoking Mithril and that unknown force. "
Before the branch director finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jiu Long.
"Branch director. How could he be so timid when doing things? In fact, from the moment the experiment began, there was no turning back, was there? "
Jiu Long smiled and looked at the branch director with cold eyes.
"Or, does the branch director want to deduct my due reward after the matter is done?"
The cold light in Jiu Long's eyes made the branch director tremble, but he could still maintain the most basic calmness.
"No. Jiu Long. The agreement between us is still valid. Moreover, after the operation is successful, the reward will be increased by 20% on the basis of the original. "
"Oh? 20%? At least 30%. "
Jiu Long snorted at the mention of reward.
Jiu Long's bargaining put the branch director in a difficult position, but in the end, he gritted his teeth.
"Deal!"
Jiu Long, who succeeded in bargaining, smiled. Then, he took out two photos from his arms.
One was a photo of Chidori.
The other was a photo of Mira wearing a high school uniform and standing at the school gate.
"Then, let's bring back the lost experimental body and the new experimental body together. How about it? This seems to be called killing two birds with one stone, right? Branch director. "
