The next day, morning.
Lisbon, Portela Airport, rainy.
The Belfast C-1 transport plane, painted in iron gray, was parked steadily on the specially cleared runway.
Hanwen and Du Tie followed Manni, the chief analyst of the Sixth Branch, off the plane with expressionless faces, got into a Land Rover waiting at the airport in advance and drove away cross-country.
There was silence in the car, everyone pursed their lips in silence, and the atmosphere seemed extremely depressing.
After a while, Manny, who was sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't stand the dull atmosphere anymore. She turned around and glanced at the two people, who were frowning and bitter.
He bit the bullet and joked:
"I said, gentlemen, you don't need to be so serious. The war is over. We are just here to get money today, not to kill people."
Finally, she added:
"Don't worry, I've already made an appointment with the bank. There will be no problem."
Du Tie kept a straight face and said nothing. Hanwen touched his arm hanging on his chest, his eyes were heavy and his voice was a little dull:
"The war is not over, it has just begun. Miss Manny, this is a special period, so we'd better be careful."
After all, Manny was having an affair with Du Weiguo, so Hanwen's tone was quite polite.
However, her nature is out-of-the-box and a bit familiar:
"No, the war is over, don't worry, it will definitely be fine. The Freemasonry suffered a terrible defeat this time. Hong Kong Island, Pattaya, and Kuiana started wars at the same time, but they failed to gain any favor.
Especially on Hong Kong Island, it has been completely broken. It is definitely a serious loss of vitality. In the short term, it will definitely not dare to raise its tail again. "
There was a lot of information in Manny's words. Hanwen immediately raised his eyebrows and glanced at the driver who was driving warily.
"This is Locke, one of our own."
Manny introduced knowingly, and Hanwen nodded noncommittally:
"Miss Manny, can you tell me specifically about the situation on Hong Kong Island?"
"Uh~"
Manny knew she had made a mistake, and was embarrassed and speechless for a moment. In fact, she was feeling nervous and uneasy before setting off this morning.
However, before leaving, I happened to receive the latest news from Lake, and I was immediately reassured. I clicked my tongue and breathed a long sigh of relief.
This was a bit arrogant.
Come to think of it, even the leader of the Noah Legion, the Siren Mina, has been killed, so what else is there to worry about?
"What? Miss Manny, it involves high confidentiality. Isn't it convenient to disclose it?"
Hanwen urged him politely, but Du Tie, a stupid young man, asked angrily:
"We are the most up-and-coming Evil Gods, and our most trusted subordinates. What else can't we know?"
The word "genzhengmiaohong" is very uncommon. Manny's Chinese proficiency is far less advanced than that of Reina, so she is a little confused about its meaning and can't help but be stunned.
"What? Is there anything you can know about us~"
Seeing that Manny still remained silent, Du Tie became a little anxious, but Hanwen held down his arm and gave him a subtle wink to calm down.
Manny has come to her senses now:
"Ah, actually it's not highly confidential. It's just that the content of the message is relatively brief and a bit vague."
After a series of bloody battles, Hanwen finally regained some composure and stopped being irritable. His tone was calm:
"It's okay, Miss Manny, just pick what you know and what's convenient for you to talk about, and just tell us about it. After all, we've also stayed in Hong Kong Island. It's our second hometown, and we miss it deeply."
This is said quite skillfully, and it is very comfortable to express it with emotion and reason.
Manny's eyes flickered, and she glanced at Hanwen meaningfully, secretly making him the target of her strategy.
Her strategy is of course not to use force on the bed, but to draw closer to each other and establish a relatively good alliance.
She is Reina's direct descendant, so she is naturally labeled as the evil spirit, which is equivalent to passively locking the relationship.
When one is prosperous, both are prosperous; when one is lost, both are harmed.
And Manny is very ambitious. She wants to fight for the right to speak in front of Du Weiguo and increase her weight.
Her competitors are Anna and Natasha of the KGB, and on Kuiana's side, the KGB has an absolute advantage.
To break the situation, Manny had to find a way to gain the favorability of the gods.
As the leader of the Evil Gods, Hanwen is becoming more and more calm and has a measured approach and retreat, making him a very good choice of ally.
Manny's mind turned over and over in an instant, and she had already made up her mind.
"Over on Hong Kong Island, the first wave of attacks by the Freemasons resulted in the loss of two ability users and dozens of blood skeletons."
Hanwen frowned, but patiently did not interrupt Manny, but Du Tieke couldn't hold his breath:
"What do you mean, the first wave of attacks? Is there a second wave?"
Manny nodded:
"Yes, the second wave of attacks was a trap set by Lu Yan and Lake. They set up the illusion that the ability users were captured alive, luring them to rescue them, and killed dozens of blood skeletons again."
"Beautiful, damn, that's how it should be, fuck these girls to death!"
Du Tie babbled with his mouth full of authentic Beijing films. Hanwen turned his head, rolled his eyes at him angrily, and scolded in a low voice:
"Shut up, Xiaotie, just stop here."
"Oh okay, I know."
Du Tie stuck out his tongue and closed his mouth nonchalantly. Hanwen was too lazy to talk to him, looked at Manny again, and said softly:
"Sorry, Miss Manny, please continue."
Seeing Du Tie, the most powerful among the evil gods, obeying Han Wenyan, Manny became even more excited and strengthened her thoughts.
"Well, the third wave~"
"What? There's a third wave!"
After all, Du Tie couldn't hold it back and interrupted Manny again, but this time without even saying anything, he quickly admitted his mistake:
"Sorry, sorry, I'm too excited, Miss Manny, please continue."
Manny smiled and shook her head:
"It's okay. When I saw the telegram, I was also surprised, because this third wave was an active counterattack by the evil gods on Hong Kong Island, and they even left Hong Kong Island."
At this point, she paused deliberately. Both Hanwen and Du Tie were staring at him. Du Tie was young and couldn't hide things in his heart. His face was red with excitement at this moment.
Manny knew very well the principle of giving up when something is good, and she did not keep showing off, and immediately raised her voice and said:
"Not only did they find the Freemasons' lair hidden on the high seas, a modified armed freighter, they even killed the leader of Noah's Legion, the Siren Mina."
Upon hearing this, Du Tie almost jumped up and waved his fist excitedly:
"Fuck you! What a bullshit! Did Lu Yan do it? Or did that black dog named Nightmare do it?"
Because Su Li came to Kuiana to take the helm, Hanwen and the others also knew the general situation on Hong Kong Island. Lu Yan, Ye Ni, Ye Li, and Lancelot were all familiar with it.
Hanwen did not reprimand Du Tie this time. Hearing the exciting news, he was so excited that he clenched his fists tightly. This question happened to be exactly what he wanted to ask.
Manny shook her head, her tone was slightly teasing and slightly confused:
"No, not at all. Lu Yan and Nightmare were both on Hong Kong Island at that time, and even Lancelot and Ye Li didn't go."
"Um?"
Hanwen's eyes widened, his pupils trembled, and he was very shocked: "Who did that? Feng Jiu? It's impossible, he doesn't have the ability!"
Manny shook her head, her tone a little melancholy:
"It's said to be from the north. Wesley's woman, surnamed Hu. That's all the message from Lake said. I don't know the details."
Hanwen's brows were furrowed so much that they pinched mosquitoes, and he could no longer remain calm:
"What? The woman in the head is from the north, her surname is Hu? And she has such ability? Nonsense, how could she be such a great person? Why didn't I know?"
Coming from the north, it is natural to cross the ocean from China to Hong Kong Island. You must know that Hanwen has been following Du Weiguo since he was in Sijiu City.
The grandson of Du Weiguo pretended to be very good when he was in Sijiu City. He usually looked like a gentleman who was weak and could only take a spoonful of water.
On the surface, except for his wife Yang Caiyu, he did not get close to any woman, and he never flirted with women. Even Yingying Yanyan, who was interested in her, did not hesitate to introduce her to his brothers like a match.
Among them, the one Hanwen is most familiar with is Tang Ahong.
This silly girl's little admiration for Du Weiguo was known to everyone in the five places at that time, but he was never fake.
Therefore, when a woman named Hu suddenly appeared, said to be a woman from Du Weiguo, and she was also very capable, Hanwen was immediately confused.
Manny also frowned:
"Yes, actually we are also very puzzled. This woman named Hu seems to have appeared out of nowhere. There was no sign or the slightest information before."
He sighed helplessly:
"Alas, Lake's message was very vague and did not specify anything clearly. However, in his words, he showed great respect for this woman named Hu, and even felt that she had been tamed."
There was a hint of sourness in Manny's tone. After all, she could barely be considered a member of Du Weiguo's harem.
Although she knew very well that she must be the most peripheral, just acting on occasion.
But having too many sisters would still be troublesome after all, especially a woman with the surname Hu who was extremely capable, which made her extremely fearful.
Then, what was most unacceptable to Manny was the attitude shown by Lake. This bastard actually turned his elbows outward to protect the woman named Hu, openly facing outsiders.
Not a son of man!
"Ah sneeze!"
At this moment, in the control room of the Blood Rose, Lake, who was answering, suddenly sneezed. He quickly rubbed his nose and apologized to Miss Hu shyly:
"I'm very sorry, Miss Hu."
"It's okay, Lake, what were we talking about just now?"
Miss Hu waved her hands and spoke calmly.
She was sitting proudly on Mina's seat, Hu San was standing behind her with his arms folded like a bitch, and Rhodes was standing on the other side with a frown on his face.
"Oh, oh, because this ship is equipped with a large number of heavy weapons and professional military electronic equipment.
Even the firepower is not weaker than that of ordinary destroyers, so it cannot be parked on Hong Kong Island or Tai O. "
Upon hearing this, Hu San suddenly raised his eyes:
"Boy, didn't you always blow the whistle and say that your MI6 office is very useful on Hong Kong Island? Why can't you stop the ship now?"
Reike quickly glanced at Miss Hu's face and said in a weak voice: "I'm very sorry, it's me~"
Miss Hu rolled her eyes at Hu San and stopped him from continuing to make trouble.
Then he interrupted Lake's self-examination with a smile and expressed his understanding very generously:
"Lake, this is not your problem. I understand that Hong Kong Island is not a terra incognita. Of course, it is impossible to let a warship park casually in front of your home. This involves sovereignty issues. Lake, you don't have to be embarrassed. "
"Uh, uh, thank you~"
Seeing that Miss Hu was so reasonable, Reike's eyes were red with gratitude, and he was at a loss for words and didn't know what to say.
Miss Hu didn't say anything more. She turned her head and looked at Rhodes with a half-smile:
"So, Mr. Rhodes, may I ask, where do you usually stop to resupply my ship?"
Listen, there is no royal law, how come this ship became hers?
Of course, Rhodes would definitely not dare to say this, or even think about it. He had been frightened by Miss Hu's decisiveness in killing.
Although Mina is a complete madman, she is also a high table member of the Freemasonry, the leader of Noah's Legion, a person with abilities, and the patriarch of the ancient Ascot family.
It is no exaggeration to say that Mina is so powerful that she is one of the very few people who have stood at the top of the human pyramid. This is also the capital of her arrogance.
But Miss Hu killed her like killing an ant without any hesitation. This made Rhodes' liver and gallbladder split and he was extremely frightened.
His tone of voice was even more submissive than Lake:
"Ms. Hu, the Blood Rose usually docks at docks and ports under the Freemasonry for maintenance and repairs."
"snort!"
Upon hearing this, Miss Hu suddenly frowned with dissatisfaction, snorted softly, and her eyes became cold.
Rhodes looked solemn and reacted immediately:
"Five hundred nautical miles away, there is my family's exclusive dock in Laoag Port in the Philippines. Miss Hu, your ship can stop there for supplies, and no one will disturb you."
Miss Hu knocked on the iron table in front of her, her tone slightly questioning: "Port Laoag?"
Rhodes explained with a wink:
"Yes, Laoag Port is more than 600 nautical miles away from Ligang Island. According to this, it is about 400 nautical miles. The Blood Rose's speed is 35 knots. From here, it can be reached in less than 12 hours."
Miss Hu picked up the Kunpeng cigarette box on the table and pulled out a cigarette. Reike immediately lit it for her with a look.
Nodding, Miss Hu spoke in a lazy, somewhat casual tone:
"Where are the weapons? Can they be supplied at Laoag Port?"
How could Rhode dare to say no at this moment? He bit the bullet and replied: "Yes, yes!"
Miss Hu's face brightened slightly:
"Well, okay, let's stop there first."
Just when Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief, Miss Hu suddenly changed the subject:
"By the way, Rod, you are a rich young man from a wealthy family. Do you have a plane at home?"
Rhode's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and his mouth went dry: "Plane? What, what plane?"
Miss Hu slowly exhaled the smoke:
"Rod, you also know that my careless man disappeared in Bermuda. I have to go find him, and the boat is too slow."
Lake suddenly interrupted, and said in a hurry: "Ms. Hu, if it's a plane, I can also arrange it~"
Miss Hu smiled at him:
"No, Lake, you still have a lot of things waiting for you on the Hong Kong Island. Go back and deal with it quickly. Just ask Rhodes to accompany me."
"I, I~"
Rhodes stared at the boss, dumbfounded.
Lake's eyes flickered, and he instantly understood what she meant. This was equivalent to tying Rhodes to his side as a piece of meat.
Come to think of it, Rhodes, this coward, is not only a high-level member of the Freemasonry, but also the heir to the Sassoon family. At the same time, he is also a very useful powerful ability user.
Tying him to your side is like holding on to thousands of troops and millions of money. Miss Hu's eyes flickered, she glanced at him gently, and her tone was joking:
"What? Rhodes, you don't want to?"
Rhode's eyes were red, as if he were mourning for his concubine: "I, I am willing~"
The next day, at noon, the sky was clear and clear in Laoag Port, Philippines.
Laoag is not a small town. As the second capital of the northern Philippines, it is quite prosperous, with hundreds of boats competing for water and thousands of sails sailing across the river.
On Salama Road near the port, there is a Japanese barbecue restaurant with exquisite decoration, quiet environment and the name Fengjian.
"Dun, dun, dun~"
Hu San swirled the entire bottle of Shirabo soju shipped from the Satsuma Islands in one breath, placed the bottle heavily on the table, and wiped his mouth.
Some of the meaning is still unfinished: "Tsk, the little devil's wine is really as bland and tasteless as ever, like horse urine mixed with alcohol."
It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten beef or drank soju. This restaurant was chosen by Miss Hu.
"Have you ever drank horse urine? Zhidan, then you still drink so much?"
Miss Hu rolled her eyes at him and choked angrily. At this moment, there were 7 or 8 empty bottles in front of Hu San.
Hu San didn't reply. He picked up a large piece of roasted beef with chopsticks, stuffed his mouth full, and chewed loudly:
"The wine is average, but the meat is okay. Hey, Lao Wu, after struggling with you for so long, I finally got the meat to eat~"
Miss Hu was too lazy to argue with him. She picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all in one gulp. Then she picked up a piece of beef and chewed it carefully.
She is much more elegant when taking pictures while eating than before. She was no better than Hu San before.
After swallowing the food in her mouth, Miss Hu said calmly:
"Rhode, you don't have to be so reserved. Stop being so busy and take a few bites of meat."
Rhodes, the first heir to the dignified Sassoon family, was kneeling next to the barbecue like a servant, waiting for the situation.
Hearing Miss Hu's words, Rhode's belly thundered, and tears of grievance almost fell on the spot.
Damn, that uncle Hu San is like a glutton. He is full of wind and blood, and his mouth is full of blood, which is more than half a plate of barbecue.
The remaining pieces were all dazzled by Miss Hu's graceful but swift movements. How could he be given the slightest chance to eat the meat?
"Huh? This is the smell of a little devil's Onmyoji? Paralysis! And he's so upright!"
At this moment, Hu San suddenly sniffed, sat up straight, and his eyes became as cold as knives, filled with evil aura.
Hu Tiexian had a deep feud with the Japanese Onmyoji. At that time, he was attacked and planned by the Onmyoji, and he was seriously injured and nearly died. He lost nearly half of his cultivation.
Miss Hu also frowned, her eyes flashing with dark red light:
"Why do I seem to smell a hint of Du Da?"
At this moment, at the door of Kazama Barbeque Rice, Fujiwara Chiya and Fujiwara Sakura brother and sister, who had disappeared for a long time, were leading a little boy of about 10 years old across the road. (End of chapter)
