A total of ten seats on both sides of the round table in this conference room were occupied.
An "Arthur" who represents the leader and is also the top executive of the Kingsman organization.
Nine knights with different titles representing the power of Kingsman.
The knights usually perform tasks separately.
Tasks below A level are carried out by one person, tasks above A level are carried out by two people, and S level tasks are carried out by multiple people in a team.
Only when members of the royal family hold the Queen's decree and issue a mission, can all the knights be summoned to act together!
"Arthur", who was sitting at the top, sighed, touched the red wine glass in his hand, glanced at everyone, and sighed: "According to records, the last time all the knights sat together was more than forty years ago, when they went to Dealey Plaza an action.”
"It was an assassination attempt."
This "Arthur" is younger and is no longer the "old Arthur" with gray hair on his temples.
What about "Old Arthur"?
He betrayed the organization in an incident and was shot dead by "Eggsy" himself.
right.
That was Eggsy's first mission.
He also successfully obtained the status of a knight in this mission, and took a beautiful princess home. He had the aura of a proper protagonist.
Therefore, after going through layers of screening, the original knight "Galahad" has become the new "Arthur", the youngest "Arthur" in the history of the Kingsman organization.
In other words, the current "Arthur" is "Eggsy"'s teacher, the gentle gentleman who helped him introduce him to the door.
It is conceivable that Eggsy, who holds the title of "Lancelot", has the royal princess as his back, and has a teacher to guide him, and he has already become the number two among the Kings Agents.
I believe that in a few years, Eggsy will break history again and update the age of "Arthur" in the history of Kingsman.
The leading role in the Northern Hemisphere belongs to him!
There is a glass of red wine in front of each knight.
Everyone stroked the wine glasses and listened to Arthur's words with smiles on their faces, but their hearts were inevitably a little heavy.
Because the larger the lineup, the greater the crisis, so they would rather not be so heavy-handed, and the event will be less difficult.
According to the records in the database, in the last Dealey Plaza incident, more than half of the Ace Agents were lost, and a total of seven knights died in the line of duty.
How many more times this time?
Who is the goal of this conference?
They did not return to the tailor shop before the operation was officially announced, and Arthur would not tell them the specific target of the operation.
Eggsy didn't know what mission the master was going to announce, so he just guessed with his wit: "Arthur, is this also an assassination operation?"
"Lancelot, your insight is getting sharper."
Arthur tapped the table with his right hand, a noncommittal smile on his face.
When everyone heard the leader's tacit answer, not only did they not feel happy, but they felt a lot of pressure.
Because there are only two reasons for organizations to carry out assassination operations...
First, the assassination target has a high status and has great influence. Death will cause a storm, so they can only hide behind the scenes and adopt an assassination action plan.
The second is that the target of the assassination has strong strength, whether it is personal strength or power strength. There must be one of them that reaches a level that the Ace Agent Organization cannot solve head-on, so they will think of using assassination to win.
Just one of the two reasons is scary enough, but the most terrifying thing is having both!
So the knights were all listening quietly to what Arthur said next, wanting to know who the enemy they would face would be.
"hehe."
"It seems like no one wants to do an assassination."
Arthur raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, mocking himself with a generous expression: "That's right, assassination is a despicable method and violates the etiquette of a gentleman. In fact, I don't want to do it!"
"But don't forget...what's most important about chivalry!"
"loyalty!"
The nine knights answered neatly.
"right."
"loyalty."
"Since the founding of Kingsman, we have made a promise to always remain neutral to the world and loyal to the royal family!"
"In this way we can gain great convenience around the world, but we must also do something rude."
Arthur nodded and ran his fingers across the table.
A three-dimensional projection instantly unfolded in the center of the round table, and a Chinese police officer's body shape, facial features, and large information appeared on it.
The knights looked at the information carefully and became more and more frightened.
And most people know this man, and seem to agree with Arthur's hypocritical chivalry.
There is no way, their privileges and their benefits all come from the "loyalty" in the spirit of chivalry.
If we should shout the slogans of global equality and world neutrality, we should just shout them outside.
When it comes time to do something, no one makes a pedantic choice.
If you are afraid of being burdened, just label the target person as a villain.
"Li Shaoze."
"The current Deputy Commissioner of Police on Hong Kong Island, the actual shareholder of Yihui Group, and the richest man in Asia."
"The Lee family is also one of the top ten richest families in the world."
"This time we are all targeting him!"
After reading the dense and layered information on Li Shaoze on the projection, the knights finally had to determine...
Good guy!
As expected, he is a powerful person with status, power and personal strength.
Seven knights died in the line of duty last time, how many more will there be this time?
Fortunately, the average age of Kingsman death is thirty-two, and no Kingsman has ever managed to retire successfully.
This makes knights least afraid of death. When they received agent training, they had already learned how to face death calmly.
Most of the nine knights remained calm, except for "Lancelot" whose expression changed slightly.
Arthur keenly noticed this change and asked with a smile: "Lancelot, are you scared?"
"No, the spirit of chivalry is bravery." Eggsy, wearing a suit and leather collar and an English bow tie, said with memories on his face: "I just remembered this."
"Haha, it's been many years." Of course, Arthur didn't really think that any knight would be afraid, but deliberately asked Eggsy. Because when he was still known as "Galahad", he once brought "Egosi" to have a face-to-face meeting with Li Shaoze.
At that time, "Eggsy" was still a newcomer, and he joined the Secret Service Academy for training under his leadership.
The three met by chance in Kingsman. In order to get back the relics of the previous "Lancelot", he also helped Li Shaoze pay for a suit.
About... one hundred and fifty thousand pounds?
It was all reimbursement anyway, and he didn't remember it that clearly.
Eggsy answered: "Yes, I knew at that time that he was the one who killed the previous Lancelot, and I felt that I would meet him again."
"Sure enough, we are really going to meet."
Arthur chuckled and said, "No, to be precise."
"The person who killed the 72nd Lancelot was just one of Li Shaoze's subordinates."
"This time we will face him directly."
"The most dangerous person in Hong Kong Island, the man who ranks first in personal strength on the most dangerous list!"
The knights heard that the previous "Lancelot" was a subordinate who died at the target, and their expressions added a touch of gloom.
This is the first time for these knights to face the people on the most dangerous list...
At this time, Arthur finished explaining the basic tasks, stood up with the wine glass in hand and said, "Okay."
"We will enter Hong Kong Island in a week. I will serve as the on-site commander and lead you directly in this operation."
"Killing is not the first goal. Maybe we don't need to do it at all?"
"hehe."
"Do you still remember our philosophy?"
Nine elegant knights in suits stood up, raised their wine glasses and neatly preached: "Suits are the armor of modern gentlemen, and Kingsman Agents are the knights of the new era!"
"cheers!"
"cheers!"
The ten people at the round table raised their glasses together and drank the glass of red wine, drinking the good wine they had received when they died in the line of duty.
…
A week later.
Li Shaoze stood in the office, looking at the majestic Liu Jianming in front of him and said: "Sir Liu, has there been any action at the opposite door recently?"
The opposite door here refers to Liu Jiehui.
Although Liu Jiehui now appears to be giving in, how could Sir Li relax his vigilance after learning from Li Wenbin's mistakes?
I don't take Liu Jiehui seriously, but I must do the necessary precautions.
This is to strategically despise the enemy and tactically attach importance to the enemy!
And what if Liu Jiehui deliberately made this gesture, pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger?
Although Sir Li is usually arrogant and pretends to be the best in the world, he is actually very smart! Liu Jianming has been keeping an eye on Liu Jiehui's group for more than half a year.
Moreover, since Sir Li became the deputy director of operations, Liu Jianming has also improved. Now as the chief officer of the Criminal Intelligence Division, he can mobilize a lot of power, and it is easier to monitor people.
This time Liu Jianming took the initiative to look for him, and it was very likely that he had found out some useful news.
Sure enough, when Liu Jianming waited until Sir Li's inquiry was over, he said with a solemn expression: "Sir Li, Liu Jiehui has not made any big moves, but Yang Jinrong has been very active recently."
"One of our informants told me that the Political Department had a top-secret file back then!"
"Top secret files?"
Li Shaoze's brows twitched, and he said with an unhappy expression: "I know you are careful, don't show off, speak more clearly to me!"
"Yes, sir!"
"This top-secret file should have been established when the Political Department was disbanded."
"The content of the file involves a special intelligence team that is kept secret for life. There are a total of twelve life-long intelligence agents, all of whom have law enforcement powers! They are also maintained in a special fund account, and the life-long person in charge is Yang Jinrong!"
"Yang Jinrong's recent activities are most likely mobilizing this intelligence team!"
The amount of information is a bit large.
Li Shaoze was silent for five seconds, and then he took a breath of air: "Hiss!"
"Who has the top secret files?"
"I'm sure it must be Liu Jiehui!"
Liu Jianming’s answer is affirmative!
