McCann Ambassador Inn, secret room.
"Click!" The empty teacup in Stephen's hand made a soft sound before turning into a handful of powder.
He tried his best to control the anger in his heart so as not to curse out loud.
Seeing Stephen's somewhat gaffeful movements, Garcia's lips sneered and he turned his eyes elsewhere.
Delbora was also in a depressed mood, and gave Stephen a "be patient" look.
"Tell me what happened, don't leave out any details!" Wilson asked a man in black in the secret room in his ugly voice.
"Yes!" As a subordinate who has followed Wilson for many years, the man in black certainly understands his boss's temper.
He allowed the blood to gush out from his injured shoulder and drip onto the ground along his hands, and did not dare to treat it himself.
"We were attacked on the way back to the embassy posthouse. There were at least eight people on the other side, all dressed in black and masked. They should have been ambush there a long time ago and started attacking without saying a word. These people were all There are four instructors of the mid-level and above who are of the earth type, and one each of the fire type, the electricity type, the light type, and the poison type." The man in black said in a calm tone.
"Why do you say there are at least eight people?" Dilbora suddenly interrupted and asked.
Seeing Wilson nodding, the man in black replied: "The fight didn't last long. Although our numbers and strength seemed to be superior, we were defeated very quickly..."
"Huh! You still have the nerve to say this?" Wilson's tone was full of anger.
The man in black tensed up and hurriedly lowered his head and said, "This subordinate is incompetent! Let your superior punish you."
"Mr. Wilson, please don't get angry yet. The sooner we figure out the situation, the better it will be for us." Dilbora said with some dissatisfaction.
Wilson snorted again, but stopped talking, gesturing for his men to continue.
"When we were fighting, there should be others sneaking up on me in the dark. Whenever I had the opportunity to severely injure the opponent, or at a critical moment in the fight, I would always feel my body numb for no apparent reason, which would affect my performance. Other companions seemed to be fighting as well. Me too." The man in black continued.
"Well! In your opinion, what is the main purpose of their attack?" Dilbora nodded and asked again.
"They kidnapped Mr. Nathan! The first person they attacked was the person who was carrying Nathan!" the man in black said very accurately.
"Then why did they take away the other person you were escorting?" Dilbora asked.
The man in black pondered for a moment before replying: "It should be easy! That person is not an injection master, and he doesn't have any skills. He was taken away by the sneak attackers when they were leaving. I heard one of them say, 'Hey Bring this too, it might be useful!'"
"Are their people injured?" Dilbora asked again
"The four earth-type injection masters were all injured, and the others are unclear. They are very good at combined attacks. What I deal with seems to be one person, but I often receive joint attacks from two or three people at the same time. And when I hit When facing the opponent, at least two people will participate in the defense together." The man in black was trying hard to recall the scene at that time, but what he said was a bit incomprehensible.
"Let me take a look at the wound. You just said you were numb for no reason. Where are they?" Dilbora asked with a gloomy face.
At Wilson's nod, the man in black gritted his teeth and endured the pain, taking off his shirt.
He pointed at several locations and said, "These are the places."
The pink light flashed in Dilbora's eyes.
She stood up and walked over to the man in black, gently stroking one of the parts with her hand.
"Very good! Thank you! The information you provided is very important. Last question, excluding the people you escorted, there are fifteen of you. Now nine people have died in the line of duty, and five are seriously injured and unconscious. In comparison, your injuries It's quite light. Do you have anything to explain?" Delbora asked with a pink light in her eyes again.
"I, I did try my best! During the fight, I was knocked unconscious! When I woke up, I was already like this! I..." The man in black's voice was trembling, and he was waiting for his boss's decision in fear. .
The pink color in Delbora's eyes disappeared, she nodded to Wilson, and then began to think deeply.
"Well! You go down and heal your wounds! Everything that happened today is forbidden to be mentioned to outsiders." Wilson's tone finally softened slightly and he ordered.
The man in black hurriedly said he was leaving as if he had been granted amnesty.
"Wilson! Are you going to let this person go now? Do you know how much trouble they caused because of their incompetence? Gammill's men didn't care, but Nathan was actually kidnapped! How do you ask me to go back and tell him He told me? Huh?!" As soon as the man in black went out, Stephen exploded.
Looking at Stephen, whose face was still covered with dust and blood, and who no longer had a trace of chic demeanor, he became furious. Delbora felt a sense of powerlessness in her heart.
This feeling is very rare in her decades of political career.
The originally foolproof plan had twists and turns and constant surprises.
As for the reason, she knew it very well.
It's nothing more than intrigues and strife among allies, coupled with endless variables.
She felt, somewhere in the dark, as if the balance that had always been tilted towards her side had been fiddled with by someone or something.
Then, the balance began to swing and variables began to appear.
However, who is that person? What is that thing?
"Mr. Secretary of State! Please be careful with your words! I will bear the responsibility that I have to bear! However, you should also know one thing. For me, it is the country of McCann that I swear allegiance to, not the country of McCann. Someone. In my eyes, Mr. Nathan is just a follower of the mission. As for who he is? What does it have to do with me?!" Wilson was also angry, and he yelled while scratching his neck.
"Okay! Okay! You can say these words directly to Head of State Bolken!" Stephen looked contemptuous and sneered at this bloody leader who could only speak beautiful words.
"Gentlemen! If we want to quarrel, we have plenty of time. But if we want to rescue Mr. Nathan as soon as possible, we'd better get to the point quickly!" Dilbora said impatiently.
Stephen vented and his bad mood eased a little.
He straightened his disheveled hair and said: "Sorry! Madam! We are rude. Okay! Please tell us what you found!"
Seeing that Stephen had returned to his hypocrite behavior, Wilson felt contempt in his heart, but he could not make the relationship too tense.
He bowed slightly to Delbora and waited for this smart woman to speak.
Garcia still had a cold expression and stood there without saying a word.
"When I checked the wound of the follower just now, I made a discovery. He said that he felt numb during the fight, which should be true. There are indeed very small wounds in those parts. Moreover, there are also wounds left Something. Look!" Dilbora said, stretching out two fingers and showing them in front of the three of them.
With Stephen's strength, he had to concentrate secretly, and only then could he see a small thorn between Dilbora's slender fingers.
"Is this...?" Wilson also saw the small thorn at this time, and he asked in confusion.
"If I'm not wrong, this should be the sting left by some kind of poisonous bee! Am I right? Mr. Garcia!" Delbora suddenly asked Garcia, who was also confused.
"Huh? What bee sting? What do you mean?" Garcia was also angry at this time, but he didn't expect Dilbora to turn the topic to him.
"As far as I know, the 'honeys' of Telgi have a unique skill, that is, they can control venomous bees to harass and even kill people. Doesn't Mr. Garcia know about this at all?" Dilbora said meaningfully .
This time, it was Garcia's turn to be furious.
"What do you mean by pulling this around? What if I know, so what if I don't know? Are you saying that the person who kidnapped Nathan was the one arranged by me?" As he spoke, a black halo appeared on his body. .
"Mr. Garcia! What are you doing? Since we are allies! There is no need to hide it! Is this sting really related to your 'honey'? This matter is of great importance! You have to make it clear!" Neither did Stephen! Thinking of Delbora suddenly pointing the finger at Garcia.
However, he was the one who brought Nathan out, but now he is kidnapped by a group of people who don't know the details.
One can imagine the panic in Stephen's heart.
"Hahaha!" This is what Garcia was waiting for.
He stared at Stephen and said coldly: "Allies? Now you remember that we are allies? You asked me about the bee sting, just in time, I also have some questions I want to ask. Before he died, Churton reported to me that Mr. Wilson I once sent my men to recruit him. I don’t know about this, has Mr. Stephen heard about it?”
Stephen had indeed revealed to Wilson his intention to recruit Chuton for his own use.
Moreover, after Chuton was "killed", he also secretly instructed Wilson to take the opportunity to keep the shadow personnel who had received Chuton's "instructions" as backup.
He once explained these things to Garcia, saying that this arrangement would make it easier to deploy manpower.
that's the truth.
Without the participation of several shadow personnel, many things would not be possible at the banquet.
The manpower assigned to Gammill was from the Shadows, and the ones who escorted Nathan later were also from the Shadows.
At that time, Garcia, who was alone and his strength was damaged, didn't object? !
At this time, Stephen's thoughts were on Nathan's whereabouts, so where could he have time to argue with Garcia about Chuton?
Is it the "dead" that is more important, or the living?
"Mr. Garcia, I think this is not the time to discuss a dead man! Please return to the topic! You are talking about him so carelessly, is it really related to you that Nathan's disappearance is related?" Stephen's words also became fierce.
"The main topic? Is it only your affairs that are the main topic? When Qiu Dun was alive, you blatantly wooed him. After his death, you took the opportunity to take the shadow people under your sect. Now, your own people have a problem, But you want to frame me! Huh! You are the only one who knows what kind of allies you call an ally!" Garcia was uncharacteristically tough at this time.
"Mr. Garcia! I'm just discussing the matter, so why are you angry? The situation in Suriel is not clear yet. Does your attitude mean that you no longer want to cooperate with your allies?" Delbora had already expected Garcia's reaction. , when he saw that the other party was really furious, he was delighted and continued to provoke.
At the same time, she also felt that the other party's behavior was somewhat abnormal. What was originally unfounded doubts gradually turned into solid suspicions.
Could it be that Garcia was really responsible for Nathan's disappearance?
"Dilbora! Don't always act like a wise man. We are all being played like fools. Don't you notice it at all? What was our original plan? Isn't it to overthrow Su Li through Ganmil? Queen, do you support Sigton? But look at the result now? Gammil was killed, Sigton turned into ashes, and Suriel has become the world of a bunch of soldiers! According to this situation, our The plan has completely failed. But look at the two adults in front of you. They only care about Nathan's whereabouts. How can they show any concern about Suriel's situation? I'm afraid that today's accidents have long been part of their plans. !" Garcia was angry and said what was on his mind without any scruples.
Indeed, there were too many surprises at the dinner party.
Almost nothing is developing according to previous predictions.
Until Hassan announced that he would stop the queen from exercising power and Suril was temporarily taken over by the army. Only then did Garcia realize that he had been played badly by Stephen and Wilson.
Although he is not as wise as Delbora, he is not a fool either.
Seeing that Stephen and others still looked calm and composed, and then thinking about the previous events, Garcia knew that Hassan was McCann's real trump card in Suriel's game.
The reason why Stephen and others did this was simply to exclude Terji, and even Jezril, from benefiting from Suriel in the future.
When you use it, give it a sweet date and a big cake. After you use it, kick it away.
Isn’t this what McCann has always done?
Regardless of his character, the purpose of Garcia's trip is, in the final analysis, to seek benefits for his country.
At this time, he saw that Terji, whom he represented, was completely excluded from the core of interests. In anger, he naturally no longer had any scruples in speaking and doing things.
Regarding Garcia's guess, how could Delbora, who always had a good mind, not notice it?
However, she is a veteran in politics after all and knows that some things cannot be rushed.
She believes that the interests that belong to her will eventually belong to her.
As long as Suril is manipulated in the hands of McCann, this powerful ally will sooner or later give Yezliel some appropriate benefits.
Otherwise, McCann has had his hands in so many countries. If he had to govern them all by his own strength, wouldn't he die of exhaustion long ago?
It was precisely because of these considerations that Delbora pretended to be confused and did not mention anything about what happened during the banquet.
However, she didn't mind and instigated the inexperienced Garcia to hold Stephen accountable.
This will not only make McCann's people act less arrogantly in the future, but also show Jezriel's loyalty and well-behavedness.
Moreover, maybe if Garcia makes such a fuss, he will really be excluded from Su Lier's interests in the future.
Instead of two people sharing a piece of the soup, it would be better for one person to have a good drink!
"What? I don't understand you. No one could have predicted that today's events would reach this point! Fortunately, although the queen was rescued by the master and others, even if she did not die, the rift with Suriel's military would no longer exist. It's hard to get along. We will still have opportunities in the future." Dilbora said pretending to be dumbfounded.
"Yes! Ms. Delbora is right! At this moment, what can we do about Su Lier's situation? You were also present just now, and the master's blow was so terrible! We still underestimated him after all. Strength! In that case, do we still have to kill Capricorn Tong and Hassan at all costs? What’s more, even if we can kill them, so what? At that time, who should clean up this mess like Su Lier? So, , we have to slowly figure out a solution for Su Lier's matter! Things have to be handled one by one! The most urgent task is to check Nathan's matter first!" Stephen said hurriedly.
He was poked at the central point by Garcia. Fortunately, Delbora came to the rescue, so he took the opportunity to bring the topic back to the things he cared about.
Garcia suddenly withdrew his attention and glanced at Stephen and others with cold eyes.
Immediately, he took out two beautiful butterflies from his arms and threw them on the table.
"Since you said so, I'm afraid it's no longer convenient for me, Terji, to participate in Su Lier's matter. Before I leave, I can share two more pieces of information with you. First, Chuton's wife and daughter have been kidnapped. , one of these butterflies was accidentally left at the scene by the person who did it. Secondly, the other butterfly was discovered by me in the banquet square just now. It appeared among the broken corpses of the 'Four Evils of Dongshan' Yes. I have finished my words. Farewell!" After finishing speaking, Garcia turned around and walked out of the secret room.
"Follow him! Go in person!" Stephen said to Wilson with a gloomy face.
Wilson didn't reply and turned around and left.
"Alas!" Stephen sighed and sat weakly on the chair.
"What an exquisite design!" Delbora said while holding a butterfly and playing with it.
