Steel steam and flame

"Is Valen cleaning up the traces of contact between the transfer station and us?" After a while, Pofita asked again. At present, there is no progress in the three things he is concerned about, so he has to free up some of his energy to find a solution.

"The other party does not look like an ordinary noble. We have not checked their information yet. In order to avoid unexpected situations, Valen is stepping up the processing. He will be available in a day or two. He is an interrogation expert. I need to call him. Are you coming back? Eliric refused to let go. I investigated all the people related to him, but could not find the information that the woman had obtained. I searched the room and the office building of the special operations agency several times, but nothing was found. . I’m wondering, did that woman really hand over the information to Eliric? Maybe it’s not what we thought, and the information has become gear data that no one knows about after the woman’s death.”

"Even the gear data must be found and destroyed completely." Pofetta glanced at it indifferently, and Lahualar immediately lowered his head, "In our eyes, it is just a piece of data, but if it falls into the hands of others, ,,”

"Anyway, keep Elric for now. As long as he doesn't go out, there is probably no chance that the information will reach other people. But if it can be found, don't think that dead people can't speak. Whether it's letters, Regardless of the delayed message communication set up through the difference machine, these are all uncontrollable factors. When Valen comes back, let him focus on this matter... Just stay here and take me to see Elric."

The two of them walked out of the hall one after another and came to the kitchen. Lahualar pressed the switch in the cabinet, and the sound of fine gears was heard. The small kitchen sank downwards. After a depth of about three or four meters, the metal protection in front of it opened, revealing a basement illuminated by cold light. .

This is the second floor of the basement. During the initial design of the villa, the corresponding design drawings were drawn, and the designer still left a lot of design blanks - that is, to build the basic framework and make space and design for the special needs of the client in the near future. Layout adjustments.

No one has a monopoly on the real estate business in the empire, and its population base is very terrifying, but compared to the wider area, it still cannot form the basis of a violent industry. Just the large buffer area around the front and extreme areas is enough for a large number of people to live.

It was divided into several parts, one part was in the hands of the Holy Emperor's Hall, another part was in the Twenty-Third Grand Duke's Family, and a small part was some earls, marquises and nobles. The largest piece fell on the king's faction and was divided among the five major prince families. Astus did not make corresponding moves in this regard.

Such villas are rare in the prosperous areas of the empire. They are relatively small in number. They are designed for some wealthy businessmen and members of big families, and the customers are only for these people. Because we know that these people are very mobile and have more dark places in their personal lives. A house with a concealed and large space in the basement and a strong bulletproof security has naturally become the first choice for these people.

The room where Eliric was kept was at the end of the corridor. When Lahualar opened the door, he could see Eliric facing the door. His hands and feet were tied with steel cables and hung on the wall like a painting. His hands and ankles were all bruised and bleeding. He spent a lot of time struggling in the past few days, looking for opportunities to escape.

He had always been in darkness, and the sudden light made Eliric squint his eyes. He recognized the people in front of him. One was the woman who had kidnapped him from the special operations agency office, and the other was the man on Rosa's profile. With a calm expression on his face, Eliric had spent several years in the special operations agency and was very good at interrogation and investigation, and had already developed a keen sense of perception.

Porphyta stood quietly outside the door for a minute or two, and then spoke, with a little smile.

"Mr. Eliric, what I want to say is very simple. Please think carefully about it in the next time. There is a button at your hand. As long as you press it, someone will come over and let you go immediately. Of course, in exchange The conditions, that is, that information, I hope you can reveal his whereabouts."

There was no response, and Porta did not expect such a thing: "What the empire does not lack most is the number of people. As long as surgeons like us are not particularly outstanding, the empire can be like commodities on the assembly line, in a short time It spawns batch after batch within it, and then you can spend energy to eliminate the unqualified products afterwards. So even if you have a sense of justice in your heart as a member of a special operations agency, that sense of justice is not worth it to a huge empire. Just a mention. I hope you can consider your friends, family, and your lovely subordinates. Until now, I have not involved them. But no one’s temper has no limit. I believe you can do this Make a decision before your limit that is good for you, me, and your family, friends, and subordinates.”

"You... won't let me down, will you?"

At the same time, Lahualar took out a signed document from the folder in his hand. It was a formal death confirmation signed by the superiors of Eliric's special operations agency.

"Please believe in my ability. It doesn't take much effort to eliminate people like you. Of course, there is another good news. This confirmation is only known to a few of your superiors and the three of us. It has not been published. , that is to say, it has not yet taken effect. I hope it will become waste paper in the trash can in the near future instead of being announced."

Seeing Eliric's face being squeezed and disappearing by the closed door, Pofetta's expression turned into a color of indifference. He turned and walked towards the elevator, and Lahua Lal quickly followed.

"I'm going back to the family in the afternoon, and I'll leave the affairs here to you. While waiting for Varun to finish his work, the matter between Ye Jielin and the Kiris family must be handled well. It's impossible to take advantage of it multiple times. The Kiris family is very smart. , but presumably the more information provided to them, the stronger the team sent out to deal with Ye Jielin will be. Although Ye Jielin returned to the military school safely, it is impossible not to suffer any loss. As long as a few times, for her personal The reduction of power will achieve the desired effect. That's when we plan to devour her."

"There is also information about her ally Cassia that needs to be investigated further. Which family he is from and what is special about him. Not only the Kiris family wants him in the form of a mission, but also the Rose and the Rose Knights. I'm very interested in the specific reasons why Il and Theodore came out. There may be unexpected surprises if you dig deeper."

"Could it be related to the strange writings? He knows very important ancient historical data, and the Kiris family is keen to collect these. Or maybe he has something precious in his possession, something related to extreme regions?" Lahualar guessed. .

"No matter what it is, it will be clear in a week or two when the plan for Ye Jielin is implemented smoothly."
