Enforcer's Handbook

On the eve of the upcoming ceremony, Lu Xiang received an urgent call from the same period.

Kane contacted each of them and set the gathering place at a high-end bar outside the castle. It was one of the favorite places for the consortium members and one of the most luxurious and decadent places in the second district. , in the words of the nobles, they would rather keep all the morally corrupt things outside the castle.

This is a bar open to consortium members. Only VIPs who have passed identity authentication can explore the interior of the bar through strict security.

The area around the bar was swarmed with paparazzi.

Providing breaking news to media companies or using self-media to gain attention is one of their main sources of income. They can often meet big figures near bars who can only be seen on the Internet and TV.

During a day off, Ivan found a lot of information about Kane's identity through the intelligence network of MI7, because Lu Xiang specifically mentioned that this young man was eager to express himself in the same period and was eager to become the leader of this team.

According to the data, the Kane family can barely have some relationship with the consortium.

If we go back three or four generations and focus on before the third war, they can be regarded as distant relatives of the Capello family. Kane's parents and other family members have always publicized this to the outside world. They actively participated in various A high-society dance party, hoping to allow them to join the consortium and become a member of it through the Capello family.

However, the Capello family seems to be dismissive of their clinging.

There are various signs that the Capello family does not even regard them as relatives, and their several applications to join the consortium through the "blood theory" have been rejected.

After the family moved to District 2, they had never set foot inside the castle.

So Kane's parents thought of a curved way to save the country.

Let Kane participate in the consortium's assessment for the entire second district, and even the entire coalition government. If their son can make great achievements in the Knights and be awarded the title of lord, then the Capello family will no longer have any reason to turn them away. Outside.

In this regard, Ivan's comment is that they are another group of people immersed in the dream of aristocrats.

This kind of people are too common in District 2.

Various families in the consortium always encounter some "poor relatives" who appear from nowhere. Some of them are real, but most of them are small groups composed of daydreamers, and the Kane family He can be regarded as the best among them. At least they gave birth to a son who was good enough and he really passed the assessment of the consortium.

Lu Xiang was the second to arrive. Only Kane arrived before her.

Kane looked a little embarrassed at this time. He was pacing back and forth in front of the bar, looking anxious.

The information provided by MI7 also included information about this bar.

It is said that Kane's parents racked their brains and spent a lot of money to finally become a certified VIP guest in the bar.

It's a pity that their experience in the bar was not satisfactory, and they did not make a few real aristocratic friends.

It was easy to tell from the looks in the security personnel's eyes that they knew Kane, but they just didn't take him seriously.

"What's up?"

Lu Xiang glanced at the time.

At 23:17, they should have rested at this time, because early tomorrow morning they would enter the castle to participate in the canonization ceremony.

"Good thing, this is a great thing!"

Kane's tone of voice changed significantly from usual, "I didn't expect you to be the first one to get here."

"I happen to live nearby."

"When everyone is here, I have something big to tell you."

Seeing Kane's nervous look, Lu Xiang did not continue to ask further.

Because she still had to play the role of a taciturn beautiful girl in front of people, she just nodded and retreated to a position near the corner so that she and Kane would not be too conspicuous on the street in front of the bar.

When the last synchronization arrived, it was already a quarter of an hour later.

Everyone was surprised as to why Kane summoned them. Some of them were sleeping soundly and were woken up by Kane's urgent ringing of the phone.

Kane betrayed everyone once again.

He walked up the steps with a slightly contemptuous look from the security guard. The security guard wanted to embarrass him by keeping everyone except Kane out according to the bar's rules, but when he announced a name, the security guard Their expressions changed immediately, and their reserved appearance made Lu Xiang, who was observing secretly, find it extremely funny.

But that’s the norm in District 2.

The concept of class is deeply imprinted on everyone's cognition, and this is also one of the cities with the most serious discrimination problems.

Although the civilians living in the second district can enjoy good public security and abundant material conditions, they have no status at all.

Everything they received was seen as charity from the nobles, so they had to be grateful to those who lived in the castle.

After entering the bar door, Kane led them upstairs and through the deep corridor before finally coming to a door.

He did not enter the door immediately, but adjusted himself at the door for a while.

"Dong dong dong."

"Come in."

When the compartment door was pushed open, Lu Xiang finally understood why Kane was so reserved.

What appeared in everyone's sight was a familiar face. She believed that every legal citizen in District 2 would be familiar with this face.

Colin Capello.

The future successor of the Capello family.

In addition to Colin, there were some unsightly scenes in the compartment, such as two female knights who were tied up and placed on the ground in an almost humiliating posture. This was not a role-playing game, because Lu Xiang noticed The scarlet lines on the armor of the two men are the marks of the Scarlet Knights.

As a noble knight, he should never do such a dirty thing.

However, the two of them were like tamed pets. Before receiving Colin's order, they remained as they were, allowing people who entered the door to admire their current state.

"...Kane."

Colin Capello and Kane looked at each other for a long time before they finally seemed to recall his name, "Here's a drink to you, my friend."

A glass of champagne was handed to Kane.

"I have something to ask of you. To be more precise, I want to ask of all of you here."

"Please say."

Kane was flattered and took the wine glass from Colin. Even his parents had never been directly received by the future leader of the Capello family, let alone being treated as friends by him.

The contemporaries following Kane had different expressions.

Most of them were looking at Colin with the same eyes as Kane. Some were secretly observing the female knight crawling on the floor of the cubicle. Of course, some of them looked away like Lu Xiang, not wanting to see this morally corrupt scene any more. A person with one glance.

"As you know, there has been some unrest in the castle recently, and each knighthood is in the midst of hiring. I hope you can directly apply to join the Scarlet Knights at tomorrow's ceremony. I, Colin Capello, can tell you Promise, I will never treat you badly in the future.”

Without any hesitation, Kane agreed.

In his eyes, this was tantamount to a gift from the nobles. Obviously many people in the same period also thought so. They imitated Kane and immediately shouted slogans that they were willing to follow the Capello family.

Colin Capello's eyes stayed on the silent people for a moment, and then he squeezed out a smile and said, "In that case, I'm relieved. I still have some things to do here. See you tomorrow."

Lu Xiang has never seen such a tough way of asking for help.

Draw a pie, and then immediately issue an eviction order after the other party agrees. This almost shows your contempt for him on his face - even the company should go further than this when feeding employees chicken soup to draw a pie. More heart.

However, the group headed by Kane was happy with Colin's unabashed contempt.

Combined with the shameful postures of the two female knights in the compartment, Lu Xiang couldn't help but wonder if there were a lot of vigilantes among these knights.

This term was told to her by Song Lan, which broadened her horizons and once again understood the meaning of the vastness of the world.

The entire meeting took no more than five minutes.

For Colin Capello, meeting them seemed to be just a sideshow, and the real purpose of his coming to this bar was not to talk to them.

The first time he walked out of the bar, Kane asked others, including Lu Xiang, in a complaining tone, "Why didn't you respond to Master Colin when we were in the room just now? This is the only thing in life. One chance!”

"...But, I heard that the Scarlet Knights have a bad reputation."

A hesitant fellow said.

His words attracted the approval of the remaining people.

This is still a euphemism. In fact, it is not an exaggeration to describe them as notorious. Compared with noble knights, the Scarlet Knights are more like a group of mercenaries or warmongers.

Alcoholism, taking illegal drugs, and moral corruption are all closely related to the current lord of the Knights.

Legend has it that the Scarlet Lord himself was a heavy drinker.

Whenever he is drunk, he will often commit some serious violations of chivalry. If it were not for the Capella family, he would have been demoted or simply removed from the knights because of his bad behavior. .

"Besides, I don't want to be like them."

Another female knight said that when she was in the compartment, she, like Lu Xiang, turned her eyes elsewhere, not wanting to take another look at the scene inside.

"What about you, Mo Lian, what do you say?"

Kane suddenly asked the question to Lu Xiang.

"I want to go back."

Lu Xiang refused to answer such an extremely boring question. She even began to regret accepting the invitation so late at night, "I have already thought about the knights I want to join."

"In that case..."

Kane's face looked a little ugly. He noticed the look in Master Colin's eyes in the cubicle. Although he didn't say it explicitly, it could be seen that the Master seemed to be very dissatisfied with the people who rejected the offer.

This is a dereliction of duty on his part.

Because he never expected that someone would refuse the invitation from the future leader of the Capello family.

"If we can't be assigned to the same knights, we will no longer be companions."

Kane figured out the purpose of Master Colin's meeting with them.

This is not only to allow the Capello family to steal the spotlight at tomorrow's canonization ceremony, but also to accumulate strength for future struggles within the consortium.

"Perhaps, one day we will face each other."

"Then I hope we never meet on the battlefield."

Lu Xiang just glanced at Kane lightly, took the lead in leaving the team, and walked towards his temporary residence.

Thanks to Bai Moyu for the 1,500 starting coins!

Small Theater One Hundred and Four:

It was Friday evening on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year.

Lu Xiang informed Hannah of this extremely important information. Hannah always believed in Song Lan's judgment, so she customized a set of nano-tight combat suits from her biopharmaceutical company through her family that day. The company's employees worked overtime. The combat uniform was sent to her residence before dark.

Throughout the night, Lu Xiang stayed by her phone because she was eager to know whether the information given by Song Lan was reliable.

But the way things turned out was beyond her expectation.

She imagined countless possible responses from Hannah, but for the whole night, she didn't receive even a single reply!

She sent three inquiring text messages to Hannah, but the latter just disappeared from the world.

"Lao Lu, why are you sitting there alone at night and dazing?"

After watching a movie, Song Lan held half of a popsicle in her mouth and handed the other half to Lu Xiang.

"Making a list."

Lu Xiang absentmindedly took a bite of the popsicle and narrowed her eyes due to the cold.

"Did the Council assign you a new task?"

"No, it has nothing to do with the Council."

It was now past ten o'clock in the evening, and her gut told her that Hannah might never reply to her tonight.

This made her realize the accuracy of Song Lan's intelligence.

"What are you..."

Song Lan's questions came to an abrupt end because he glanced at the contents of the memo on Lu Xiang's cell phone, which indeed had nothing to do with work:

Nano Tight Combat Suit (White)

Maid outfit (white stockings)

Standard knight light armor
