Although Kevin Sousa didn't say a word, Nightingale still understood what he was trying to express from his scrutinizing gaze. A wry smile appeared on her exquisitely made-up face as she whispered, "I know you're suspecting why I didn't meet you three days later as agreed upon. I can only tell you that my identity has been exposed! If I had left an hour later, you wouldn't have been able to see me again! "
Kevin Sousa's eyes flickered when he heard Nightingale's words. The doubt in his eyes lessened, and he said in a low voice, "I'll report your situation to the higher-ups, and they'll decide what to do! As for now, have you brought that important piece of information? "
Nightingale didn't say a word. All she did was nod. Then, she carefully took out a jade box from her bosom and handed it to Kevin Sousa. She then said, "According to the rules, I've already placed the information I obtained in the jade box and activated the restrictions. Please hand the jade box to the higher-ups!"
After receiving the jade box from Nightingale, Kevin Sousa didn't immediately take it away. Instead, he carefully examined the jade box. After the Loen riots a few years ago, Ma 'am Lena had once again taken charge of the Loen Church of the Storm intelligence agency. She had promoted an alchemy jade box to store information. This alchemy jade box looked no different from an ordinary jade box.
However, in fact, this alchemy jade box had another mystery. After the spies received the intelligence, they would put it in a jade box according to a specific method. After that, they would pass the alchemy jade box to the joint location. From the joint location, they would pass the alchemy jade box back to the headquarters of the intelligence agency. The advantage of this method was that only the headquarters and the spies knew the specific content of the intelligence. The other personnel could only touch the alchemy jade box instead of the intelligence itself.
When the alchemy jade box wasn't activated, it was no different from an ordinary jade box when it was opened and closed. But once the restriction was activated and the jade box closed, one had to go through a special method known to the Loen Church of the Storm intelligence agency in order to open it. If the jade box was forcefully opened, it would automatically trigger the self-destruct restriction on the alchemy jade box, causing the jade box and the information inside to self-destruct and be destroyed. Ever since the use of this alchemy jade box to store information, the Loen Church of the Storm intelligence agency's level of secrecy had gained a huge advantage. There were very few cases of information leaks.
A minute later, after confirming that there was no problem with the jade box and that it was the exclusive alchemy jade box of the Loen Church of the Storm intelligence agency, a satisfied smile appeared on Kevin Sousa's chubby face. He placed the alchemy jade box properly in his pocket, then said to Nightingale beside him in a deep voice, "I should be safe here for the time being. You stay here first. I'll go and report the information to the higher-ups now. As for your next arrangements, once there's a response from the higher-ups, I'll immediately …"
Before Kevin Sousa could finish his words, the door of the secret room was silently opened, and a blond young man slowly walked into the secret room.
The sudden appearance of the blond young man, Luke Shaw, obviously surprised Kevin Sousa and Nightingale. But as an old fox who had been in the intelligence agency for decades, Kevin Sousa's reaction was very fast. He very discreetly assumed a fighting posture, but still reprimanded the blond young man in front of him, "Mr. Luke Shaw, this is the interior of our hotel. It's not open to the public. Please return to your room as soon as possible!"
Marguerite, who was disguised as the blond young man, turned a deaf ear to Kevin Sousa's reprimand. Her gaze was focused on the noblewoman, Nightingale, who was hiding behind Kevin Sousa.
Three minutes ago, after racking her brains, Marguerite finally figured out why this noblewoman who suddenly came to Kevin Hotel in the middle of the night gave her a very familiar feeling. If Marguerite remembered correctly, this noblewoman's name was Jenna Moretti. She was the youngest daughter of a viscount of a branch of the Moretti Family in the Kaman Empire. She graduated from the law department of the Kaman Empire University and had an imperial law doctorate. After graduating from the Kaman Empire University, she married the eldest son of the current secretary-general of the Valencia Chamber of Commerce, Little Endok.
Five years ago, when Marguerite was still an intermediate Sorcerer Apprentice, the Loen Church of the Storm had once organized a New Year's dinner. And it was at that dinner that Marguerite had met the couple, James Moretti and Little Endok. After discovering James Moretti's identity, Marguerite thought of Nightingale, who was a spy planted by the church in the Valencia Chamber of Commerce, and recalled how James Moretti came to Kevin Hotel in such a hurry. Marguerite only felt that the answer about "Nightingale" was on the verge of being revealed.
Although she didn't understand why Jenna Moretti, as Nightingale, would violate the agreement and come to Kevin Hotel three days in advance, Marguerite firmly believed in her discovery. Nightingale was Jenna Moretti, and Jenna Moretti was Nightingale!
And now, this Nightingale had already arrived at Kevin Hotel and was communicating with Kevin Sousa. Therefore, in order to intercept the information, Marguerite didn't hesitate and decisively made her move. Judging from the current situation of Kevin Sousa and Jenna Moretti's secret meeting in this secret room, Marguerite felt that she had made the right bet. Nightingale's meeting with Kevin Sousa at Kevin Hotel had indeed been brought forward!
Seeing that Lukshaw was only looking at Nightingale and ignoring him, the head of intelligence, Kevin Sousa, maintained an angry expression on his face. However, he sighed inwardly. "Oh no!" Anna's intuition was right again. There was indeed something wrong with this Lukshaw. Now that Lukshaw had appeared here, then Anna, whom he had arranged to watch over him in the room next door, was most likely already dead, right?
Thinking of this, Kevin Sousa's heart couldn't help but sink. He knew that he had to do something while Lukshaw's attention was on Nightingale. Otherwise, he wouldn't have another chance. Without further ado, Kevin Sousa didn't hesitate. He continued to maintain his vigilance against Lukshaw, then waited for an opportunity to turn around and charge toward the crystal vase placed in the corner of the secret room.
In Kevin Sousa's eyes, Lukshaw was able to pass through the layers of mechanisms meticulously set up in Kevin Hotel and appear before him without him, a Grand Knight, noticing. This was undoubtedly beyond the scope of a "Knight's strength" and belonged to the category of Extraordinary power.
