save the bachelors

Chapter 5147-5150 [Dr. Maru's Research Notes]

"Sorry, guys, you've messed with the wrong person." Xiang Nan then threw a punch, knocking down one of the assassins.

The other assassins were swiftly taken down by Diana. Only one, seeing this, was so frightened that he fled.

But as soon as he reached the alley entrance, a sword blocked his way.

“Where do you think you can run to?” Eta asked, holding up the Godslayer Sword.

It turns out that this secretary from the intelligence agency wasn't just sitting idly by. After leaving the clothing store, she also noticed that someone was following Xiang Nan, so she immediately and quietly followed behind.

Diana then drew her Lasso of Truth from her waist and pulled the man back in one swift motion. "You've clearly been bewitched by Ares. Let me help you break free."

The man had already bitten his own collar, and in an instant he foamed at the mouth, his eyes glazed over, and he died.

"Diana~" Xiang Nan stopped Diana's futile efforts upon seeing this.

"Where is Ares?" Diana asked again, but after a moment, she realized with surprise, "He's dead?!"

“Yes, cyanide.” Xiang Nan nodded.

Assassins, agents, and spies like these usually carry cyanide. If they realize they cannot escape, they will immediately commit suicide by poisoning themselves to prevent the leakage of intelligence.

"Why should he die? I could have saved him," Diana asked, puzzled.

“That’s how it is for people in our profession. If you don’t give in, you die,” Xiang Nan explained. “Alright, we don’t have time to waste. Let’s leave now.”

……

Xiang Nan then brought Diana to the parliament.

"Stay here and don't move, I'll be right back," he told Diana. Then he went into the council and saw members of parliament and generals debating the peace talks, arguing heatedly.

"Gentlemen, gentlemen, listen to me~" a middle-aged man leaning on a cane said.

"Listen to him, everyone be quiet." Upon hearing the middle-aged man speak, the councilors all fell silent, clearly indicating that the man held a high position.

“Thank you, gentlemen,” the middle-aged man continued. “Germany is an incredibly arrogant country; they will not surrender. The only way to end this war and restore peace to the world is through negotiation and an armistice agreement…”

Xiang Nan found Colonel Thomas Johnson, who was attending the meeting. Johnson was the head of the British intelligence agency and Steve Trevor's direct superior.

"Colonel, please come out for a moment," Xiang Nan said to him.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone present turned their gaze to the same spot.

Xiang Nan looked in the direction they were looking and saw Diana standing in the council chamber.

"She is a woman."

Why is she here?

"Get her out of here!"

Everyone present chimed in with their opinions.

At the beginning of the 20th century, women's rights were not universally respected worldwide.

Britain did not grant women over the age of 30 the right to vote until 1928. France did so in 1944, and Switzerland in 1971.

Since women didn't even have the right to vote, it was even less likely that they would be allowed to participate in matters of national importance like peace negotiations. Therefore, when they saw Diana, they were all shocked and outraged.

……

"Excuse me, gentlemen, she is blind and has mistakenly entered the wrong room." Upon seeing this, Xiang Nan quickly pulled Diana up and dragged her out of the council hall.

"Our only goal right now is to strive for peace at all costs..." the middle-aged man continued. Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted into another loud argument.

Status doesn't mean everything; even the Queen of England can't do whatever she wants. These members of parliament each represent their own interests. They can respect this middle-aged man and let him speak, but they still need to fight for their own interests.

“Why don’t you listen to him? He’s talking about peace,” Diana asked, puzzled, not understanding why those people wouldn’t listen to the middle-aged man.

“Now is not the time,” Xiang Nan said, waving his hand.

"Captain Trevor, what are you thinking, bringing a woman here?" Thomas Johnson, the intelligence agency's direct superior, angrily stepped forward and questioned him.

"Sir, I really brought back very important intelligence," Xiang Nan quickly explained. "These are the research notes of Dr. Isabella Maru, the Poison Doctor."

“I don’t care about any notes,” Thomas said angrily.

“Sir, we must decipher it immediately,” Xiang Nan said. “And I need to report this to the generals right away.”

“No matter how urgent it is, you can’t bring a woman into Parliament,” Thomas rebuked.

"I'm sorry, sir," Xiang Nan quickly apologized. "She's my newly recruited secretary, and she's not quite familiar with the rules here yet. Please forgive her."

Thomas nodded when he heard him say that.

"Sir, what I've seen will change the course of this war. It's extremely critical. We must immediately convene the generals to discuss this matter," Xiang Nan suggested.

“Captain Trevor, we thought we were going to lose you.” At that moment, the middle-aged man walked over with a cane and said, “Congratulations on surviving and bringing back a friend.”

"I am deeply sorry for my intrusion," Xiang Nan said quickly.

“No need to apologize,” the middle-aged man said with a gentlemanly smile. “I should thank this lady. It was her arrival that quieted those people down, and they were finally able to listen to me for a few words.”

“I am Sir Patrick Morgan, and it is my pleasure to serve you,” he then said to Diana with a smile.

“Diana, I am from Paradise Island…” Diana introduced herself.

“Diana Prince, she’s my newly recruited secretary,” Xiang Nan interrupted her.

Diana's identity is too mysterious to be revealed at this time.

“She helped me get Dr. Poison’s research notes. I think what’s written in them will change the course of this war,” Xiang Nan explained.

"Dr. Poison's research notes?! That must be extremely important." Sir Morgan said immediately. "Colonel, we must hold an emergency meeting to discuss this matter."

“Yes, sir,” Thomas replied immediately.

……

Subsequently, the generals were summoned together to discuss the intelligence brought back by Xiang Nan.

Xiang Nan recounted what he had seen and heard in the Ottoman Empire.

When the generals learned that the German army was secretly manufacturing biological and chemical weapons in the Ottoman Empire, they were also greatly surprised.

"Unfortunately, the decryption department hasn't cracked this notebook yet. It seems to be written in two languages, but they haven't been able to determine which two languages," Colonel Thomas explained.

“It’s Turkish and Sumerian,” Diana said immediately after glancing at it.

"Who is this woman?" the generals asked, looking at Diana with suspicion.

“She’s my secretary, and she has an excellent talent for languages,” Xiang Nan said quickly. “Sir, please let her take a look.”

“If this lady can understand it, we would all like to know what is written in this notebook,” Sir Morgan added.

Seeing that he said that, Thomas had no choice but to hand over Dr. Maru's research notes to Diana.
