Siesta is a great place.
It has warm winters and cool summers, rich products, beautiful scenery, and has not suffered from natural disasters in nearly a hundred years.
Bordering Victoria and Colombia to the north, Sargon to the south, and facing Minos across the "sea", the geographical location is extremely advantageous.
The most important thing is that this place is an independent city-state and is not under the jurisdiction of any of the above countries.
If the continent of Terra is compared to the star map in "Stars", then Siesta is a fifteen-block Gaia planet, which is right at the junction of countries and produces strategic resources.
It's the kind that will be claimed by other countries as soon as you go to shoot a sentry post.
The diplomatic attitude dropped from friendly to distrustful and even hostile in minutes.
It is precisely because of this that Siesta exists as an independent city-state, and no country touches it.
In the game, you can rush to take pictures of outposts and occupy them. At worst, you will be declared war. With a little effort, you can build a fleet and just go up and blast them with lasers.
But fighting in reality is not so easy because there are too many involved.
But the apparent harmony does not mean that these countries will be peaceful in private.
Basically, the countries bordering Siesta have launched spy networks in this coastal city, with the purpose of monitoring the movements of other countries and the tendencies of Siesta's government.
Once the person sitting in the mayor's office fails to grasp the balance, this Terra's top tourist city may be followed by a bloody storm in the dark.
For these spies, the most important thing, besides enemy intelligence, is their own safe house.
The two words "bookstore" mentioned by Gavin directly pulled out the heart of Colombia's spy department in Siesta, and displayed it bloodyly in front of Valentin.
If Colombian officials find out about this, he won't even need a boat ticket back, and the only option left is to apply for political asylum in another country.
"Very sincere."
Valentine covered his mouth and chuckled.
Looking at the girl's crescent-shaped eyes, Gavin gritted his teeth, but slowly loosened his clenched fists, and lowered his originally high head.
Betrayal is the most shameful thing in the world.
But Gavin didn't want to die even more.
When Valentine said the words "by the sea", Gavin knew that he already knew about it through the memory of the night owl.
As soon as this idea appeared, Gavin's defenses were shattered.
Whether he said it or not, he knew that the only difference was whether his life existed or not.
In this case...
What's the harm in saying it?
With this thought in mind, Gavin told the truth. He thought he looked away, but who knew that after he finished speaking, his heart became heavier and his back gradually collapsed.
It seemed as if what Gavin said lightly was not two words, but his own spine.
His heart seemed to be filled with lead, and even the blood could no longer pump. He even began to have difficulty breathing, and he suddenly felt regretful.
...After all, he is not a villain, he is just an ordinary person who wants to live.
It's normal to feel uncomfortable.
The change in Gavin's expression was clearly visible to Valentine. But she didn't say anything, but looked at the girl Feilin on the other side.
"And you?"
"Gina, Rhine Life's commercial spy."
Compared to Gavin's embarrassment at this time, Gina acted very free and easy.
"I work in the Rhode Island Logistics Department as a logistics specialist. The task given to me by the superiors is to pass on information about you so that they can make countermeasures."
"Besides me, there are other spies in Rhode Island. Do you want to hear it?"
She was even planning to turn her back on the dark side and expose all her colleagues.
"Need not."
This sister's reaction was beyond Valentin's expectations.
But he quickly reacted and refused with a smile.
The commander of this assassination operation seems to be Gavin, but it is actually Nite Owl. Before coming to Siesta, this girl had memorized all the information about the spies lurking in Rhode Island. Now that Valentine was in her body, he naturally knew it.
The reason why she asked Gavin and Gina to reveal their true identities and information was just to get a little revenge.
I have no choice, I have a good heart and don’t want your lives, even if you want to kill me.
Then be a traitor and feel the guilt of your conscience for a little while.
Anyway, there are only three people in this room, who will know about your betrayal after I leave?
But looking at it now, this Jina has no conscience...
never mind.
"Actually, I'm here today, not to eradicate the problem, but to inform you of something."
Putting aside his fun, Valentine got down to business.
These words attracted the attention of the two people opposite.
"I know that Rhine Life wanted my life and sent you to kill me."
"A sniper attack this morning and an assassination attack this evening."
"They were all beautiful, but it failed."
Thinking back to Night Owl's shot at the hotel, Valentine still had lingering fears.
Qingyu's energy bullets can really kill him.
Moreover, this girl's invisibility ability is very strong. If Valentine hadn't controlled the birds around the seaside avenue in advance and noticed something strange from the air, he might have died.
Failure to consider the stealth effect at higher angles was Night Owl's only failure in that sniper operation.
"But your actions are quite interesting. They only target me. You never thought of blackmailing the people around me to achieve your goal."
Gavin scratched his face.
This is the hobby of night owls. All means are only aimed at the mission target, and will never attack anyone other than the target.
He had thought about tying up Valentine's sister to threaten this kid.
The Rhode Island operator who was instigated to rebel, Red Bat, also had this idea.
As a result, he flew into the sky and stood side by side with the sun...
He is still in the inpatient hospital of Rhode Island.
"That's good."
Valentine expressed his affirmation of Night Owl's professional ethics.
"I will go back to Rhode Island tomorrow morning to inject the inhibitor. You don't have a chance."
"But I will stay in Siesta for the next few days."
"You can come to me at any time and take my life."
When he said this, he grinned from the corners of his mouth to his ears.
"As long as it doesn't affect the people around me, continue to stick to your goals."
"I won't..."
The girl stood up and raised her hand.
Gavin raised his head, and the tip of Nite Owl's index finger stopped a few centimeters in front of his eyebrows.
"Bang..."
Along with the sound, there was severe pain in the chests of Gavin and Gina.
"Well!"
Fortunately, Jina is a special talent cultivated by Rhine Life since childhood. Although he was not as good as Night Owl, he was still a fighter anyway. The pain like needle pricks only made her groan softly.
But not Gavin.
His face instantly turned pale, and large beads of sweat broke out on his forehead, flowing down his cheeks and dripping on the carpet.
Gavin only felt something stirring wildly in his chest, and his heart was torn open. His breathing became heavier, but he still felt out of breath.
My whole body began to tremble uncontrollably, and I couldn't even control my balance. I collapsed on the sofa like a pile of mud, and it seemed that I would faint from the pain in the next second.
"...I will make your life worse than death."
Snapped.
Valentin finished the rest of his words and snapped his fingers.
The pain comes hard and goes away quickly. Almost the moment Valentin finished snapping his fingers, Gina felt no pain. Her brows stretched, and she glanced at the man who was still paralyzed next to her, with a hint of displeasure flashing in her eyes.
It took a long time for Gavin to recover.
"Did you hear what I just said?"
"……Um."
Holding his chest, Gavin nodded slightly, feeling extremely complicated.
"Don't worry, as long as you don't have any thoughts of harming the people around me, this pain will not appear."
Valentine returned to his original smile.
Jina said nothing.
She didn't know if her silly sister and her colleagues who were still in Rhode Island were considered by Valentine.
"Then, that's it."
"It would be rude to stay any longer."
Valentin is very satisfied with the performance of the two. She nodded and sat back on the bed.
"Thank you anyway, little bird."
After saying that, the room fell silent again.
Seeing Nite Owl's face slumped again, Jina knew that Valentin was really gone.
It's a bit cold...
Maomao shuddered.
She didn't care at all about revealing her own intelligence, even if there was a boss who could kill her right in front of her.
Night Owl ignored her and stared at Gavin with a pair of emotionless eyes.
Gavin was so frightened that he cried out for pills.
However, after a few seconds, the low pressure hovering in the house disappeared and the temperature returned to normal.
Ye Xiao withdrew his gaze, fell on the bed and turned over, leaving only his back for the two people on the sofa.
Seeing her silence, Gavin completely felt his heart in his stomach.
tonight……
It's finally safe.
Valentin did not kill them, and Night Owl ignored his and Gina's leaks.
Everything is back on track.
Then the next step is the implementation of the new plan.
