Thirty-two years ago, London.
Affected by the warm North Atlantic current and westerly winds, the weather in London has never been good, which is one of the important reasons why it is known as the "Fog City".
It was the same that day. The sky was foggy. In a heavy metal-style bar in a somewhat remote location in the East End of London, Mary sat in the corner with several of her colleagues who were also MI6 agents, quietly waiting for the target of this mission to come to her door. .
At this time, Mary had just joined MI6. She was only 21 years old. Her full name was Sera Mary, and she was of mixed British and Japanese descent.
Of course, she won't be using this name for long, because after a while, she will change to the name that will be more familiar to her colleagues and opponents decades later.
"Major, it's already passed the time." In front of her was a cup of black coffee brought by the waiter. Mary lowered her head and glanced at the time on her watch, frowning slightly, her expression seemed a little impatient.
"Yes." The middle-aged man named Major sitting next to her heard this and just nodded slightly.
The middle-aged man has a carefully groomed mustache, wears a windbreaker, polite hair, and a resolute face. He has a very standard image of a British gentleman.
He is Mary's superior in MI6, and "Major" is Mary's nickname for him.
The day before, MI6 received undercover intelligence that a group of French mafia would enter London today and have secret contacts with another group of unidentified people in this bar.
The purpose of Mary and her party is to do everything possible to figure out the purpose of this group of French people coming to London and to disrupt their evil plan against the British Empire. If necessary, they can also use violent means.
"Do we need to wait any longer?" Mary looked at the time again and asked again, her tone a little anxious.
As she spoke, she gestured with her eyes to the group of men and women in suits and ties sitting in another corner of the bar.
These people are also one of their targets. Among the intelligence obtained by MI6, there will be mysterious people in contact with the French Mafia.
Mary's meaning was obvious. The time for these people to meet had already passed, but the expected French Mafia did not show up. In this case, there was no need for them to wait any longer. They should first capture this group of people and torture them. Let’s talk about it later.
"Calm down, wait a moment." The major's tone was very calm, and he even took the time to take a sip of the coffee in front of him.
Since the major had said so, it was natural for Mary to say nothing more.
She also imitated the major's actions, picking up the coffee in front of her and taking a sip.
Of course, compared with the major's calmness, the coffee in her hand was rippled, reflecting the impatience in her heart at the moment.
"Mary, you are excellent, but sometimes you are too impatient. This is the most fatal weakness of our espionage personnel." The major suddenly said, with a low tone.
"I don't want you to be in danger because of this in the future."
"Yes..." Understanding what the major meant, Mary took a deep breath and lowered her head slightly.
This was her first real mission after joining MI6. At this time, Mary was eager to prove herself with her outstanding abilities in order to get rid of her status as a "newcomer".
"Dingling bell~"
At this moment, the doorbell on the bar rang, and a figure walked in. Mary quickly looked up, but was disappointed.
Because the person who came in was not the French mafia she had hoped for, but an Asian man who was relatively rare in London.
This Asian man was also wearing a windbreaker, gloves on his hands, and was carrying a box in his left hand. He looked dusty, like a foreigner visiting London.
The man is young, roughly estimated to be about the same age as Mary. He has outstanding appearance and very soft lines on his face. He is probably of East Asian origin.
[It’s really rare...]
In London at that time, East Asians were not common, let alone East Asians with special appearance characteristics...
Mary noticed that the eye color of this East Asian man was pure purple, which was indeed extremely rare among East Asians whose eye colors are generally gray, black, and brown.
Perhaps Mary had been staring at him for a long time. The East Asian man seemed to have noticed her gaze, and suddenly turned his head and looked over. His eyes passed through the crowd in the bar and directly locked onto Mary sitting in the corner.
[What a keen sense. 】
The whole person was stunned for a moment, and Mary subconsciously showed an apologetic smile and nodded to him, indicating that she meant no harm.
Of course, the East Asian man didn't seem to take her into consideration. Under Mary's initiative, he still scanned Mary and the colleagues sitting around her with his eyes before finally looking away.
"He's aware of our identities." The major next to Mary suddenly said. He also noticed the sudden appearance of this East Asian man.
"What?" Mary couldn't help but be stunned.
"His eyes just glanced at a few of us, and did not touch the other people around us. This is a very obvious hint... This person is not simple." The major explained.
"Major, then should we..." Mary pointed her finger downwards, and the position her fingertips pointed was the pistol she had hidden in her clothes.
"No, the mission takes priority, not to mention he has no malicious intent." The major rejected her proposal.
"I understand..." Seeing this, Mary didn't say anything more.
While the two were talking, the East Asian man had already scanned all the people in the bar. He seemed to be looking for someone, and when he didn't find anyone, he planned to turn around and leave.
"Major, do you need someone to follow him?" This time it was not Mary who spoke, but another agent.
Being able to spot the identities of these people at a glance, the East Asian man in front of them is obviously something special. Based on the principle of "beyond suspicion", the MI6 agents believe that they may need to perform some necessary operations on this East Asian man. inquiry.
The major's eyes fell on the East Asian male, but he did not answer immediately. It was obvious that he was hesitating.
In just a few seconds, amid everyone's hesitation, the East Asian man had already walked to the door of the bar.
"Boom!"
However, just as he was about to raise his hand to open the door, the door of the bar was suddenly pushed open in an extremely violent manner from the outside.
With a loud bang, the bar door slammed against the wall, attracting the attention of everyone in the bar.
The East Asian male took a step back in time to avoid being photographed against the wall by the door panel.
"Step aside!"
Outside the door, a group of people in suits and ties walked in. Looking at this group of people, Mary and the others who had been waiting here couldn't help but feel happy.
【finally come. 】
