Living in North America, working from 9 to 5

Chapter 251 Are you A?

When Selena heard Roy say that the mastermind behind the murder of Asmodeus and Ava Li was No. 2, her eyes widened instantly and her face showed surprise.

On the other hand, Irina's expression did not show any fluctuations, which formed a sharp contrast with Selina's facial expression and reaction.

"Ok!"

Irina nodded and gave a confirming answer.

After getting Irina's confirmation, Roy clenched his fists and took a deep breath to suppress his anger.

Forcefully calming down, Roy stared into Irina's eyes and asked, "Why didn't you tell me before?"

“I just found out about this recently…”

Hearing Irina say this, Roy felt a little better. All along, Roy had always trusted Irina very much. Even though he had long realized that she seemed to be hiding many things from him, Irina always stood by him and never harmed him.

He pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep puff.

Smoke enters the lungs and a warning sound sounds:

[Currently smoking: Lung capacity +1]

Irina walked to the sofa, sat down, and lit a cigarette.

Seeing Irina sitting down, Roy sat opposite Irina, smoking and staring at Irina.

Seeing that Roy's eyes were always on her, Irina knew that Roy wanted to know more information.

Serena sat down next to her sister, looked at Irina's profile, and asked, "What's going on?"

After dusting off the ash from her cigarette, Irina looked at her sister and said, "I am the only survivor of Schmidt's special agent team. If I hadn't been attending the board meeting at that time, I would have died too."

Roy sat opposite Irina and pricked up his ears silently.

Selina nodded slightly: "I know this..."

Irina continued, “After the death of Asmodeus and No. 1, I began to investigate in secret.”

Having said that, Irina drank the wine in the glass.

Putting down the wine glass, Irina looked at Roy: "At that time, my primary suspect was the Supreme Committee of the organization, but I didn't have any evidence."

Roy nodded slightly.

Irina recalled and said, "If the assassination of Asmodeus was done by the organization, I cannot use the power of the organization..."

"Hellhound troops..." Roy muttered.

"Yes! You are right. The Guardian organization is clean. The Guardians are only loyal to Asmodeus. I contacted them and conducted a secret investigation into the whole matter. At that time, although I was No. 17 in the organization, my confidentiality clearance was not high, and there were many things I didn't know."

"It was not until a month after Asmodeus and No. 1 died that the Supreme Council decided that I would continue No. 1's mission and obtain Asmodeus's legacy. Only then did I obtain Executive Authority 10, which allowed me to access all the top-secret files owned by the organization."

"The term 'gift' originated from other intelligence agencies. Later, in order to avoid leaking some secrets, the Supreme Council also began to use the term 'gift' to refer to Asmodeus's legacy."

Roy nodded.

Irina continued, "After I reviewed all the top-secret files related to Asmodeus, No. 1, the system, and the organization, I found that things were very complicated."

"When I was looking through Ava's mission files, I found a hidden file that was extremely deep and had five layers of encryption."

"What's that?" Roy asked.

"Project Eva..." Irina murmured.

"Project Eva!"

"Yes!" Irina said after organizing her thoughts, "Project Eva is the ironclad evidence of the organization's betrayal of Asmodeus."

Roy's eyes gradually narrowed.

"The Supreme Council entrusted Asmodeus with power in an attempt to obtain key information and thus control the entire Asmodeus system. Isn't this betrayal or something else?"

"Yeah!" Roy hummed.

"So, ever since I learned about Eva's plan, I began to suspect that Asmodeus' death was closely related to the Supreme Council of the organization. However, there is still a point that doesn't make sense."

"It doesn't make sense?" Roy looked surprised.

Irina nodded. "Yes, the Eva Project, as the name suggests, is named after your mother. The planners are all members of the Supreme Council, and the executor is your mother, who is Organization No. 1."

"What doesn't make sense is that Eva didn't get Asmodeus' inheritance, so why would they rashly kill your father, Jacob?"

“That was my thought at the time.”

"It really doesn't make sense!" Roy said.

Irina said, "Yes! With this question, I continued to investigate secretly. At that time, I had a second question, which was why Eva and your father had lived together for more than 20 years, but there was no progress."

"Why?" Roy asked.

"The reason is not important. What is important is that there has been no progress for more than 20 years. Their two children, you, are about to graduate from college, and your sister Irene has already started high school. I guessed at the time that the old guys in the Supreme Committee believed that Eva had actually given up the mission secretly and that she was completely in love with your father."

Roy said, "You mean, if they think she gave up the mission and fell in love with my father, it would be extremely dangerous for them?"

Irina nodded. "Yes! If a woman is moved and falls in love, it is very scary, especially since Eva has such a high status. She sleeps next to Asmodeus every day. If Eva betrays them, all of them will die without a burial place."

Hearing this, Roy took a deep breath: "This is their motive."

Irina said: "I thought this at the time. If my analysis was correct, then those who participated in the formulation of the Eva Plan at the time had the motive to silence them and protect themselves. However, I have no evidence. Everything is based on speculation."

"Alissa said that Eva's race has no right to sit in the No. 1 position. It's all because of Asmodeus's preference," Roy said.

"That's what she said?"

"Yes!"

"Doesn't that make sense? But at that time I didn't know about Asmodeus's private affairs, nor did I know about the relationship between Alisa and Asmodeus. But I think my inference was correct, so the investigation has been centered around those old guys. For two years, the secret investigation was at a standstill, and I couldn't find any useful evidence until one day..."

"What?" Roy opened his eyes wide.

"Until one day, Mike sent me a message saying that someone he had planted inside the KGB accidentally discovered that inside Alisa's pendant, there was a photo of Asmodeus and her, a very intimate one."

Roy nodded thoughtfully.

"With this information, I began to suspect Alisa. She is an agent of the Asmodeus system. She followed Asmodeus almost at the same time as Eva. If she has always loved Asmodeus, then Eva is her rival in love..." "If a woman is not open-minded, once her mind is closed, or she becomes arrogant and unaware of herself, or she can't figure out her own position, it is very likely that her mind will be controlled by one-sided love, making her paranoid, irritable, and eventually paranoid."

"Yeah, sure..." Roy muttered.

"In the organization's archives, there is a comprehensive analysis of Alisa, and the analysis reports are updated frequently. I checked all the reports about Alisa and found that her mental state was normal before, and she was not paranoid. The time when she became paranoid was after Asmodeus and Eva's wedding."

"So I have to suspect that Alisa has a motive for hating Ava Li so much."

"Last month, the Cerberus Force found a key piece of information. Of course, this key information also came from the KGB. Seven days before Asmodeus's accident, a Russian Typhoon-class nuclear submarine appeared in the Bering Strait."

"I got the track of the Typhoon-class nuclear submarine, which was very close to the Alaskan coastline. And 10 days later, three days after Asmodeus and Eva died, the nuclear submarine entered the Bering Strait again."

"Any idea what this means?"

Roy said: "It means that the Typhoon-class nuclear submarine is most likely transporting secret personnel, and it appeared there again to pick them up."

Irina nodded: "Yes! You are right, so I judge that the one who killed Asmodeus, Eva and Schmidt's agent team came from Russia."

"But if there is no insider, they will not be able to kill Asmodeus. The only ones who can provide them with such convenience are the Supreme Committee of the Organization and that guy."

"Number 2, you mean."

"Yes! It's him..."

Roy's face twitched.

Irina continued, "From then on, the focus of my investigation became the relationship between Alisa and Eva, and the relationship between No. 2 and Eva."

"As you know, white people are supreme in North America. Eva is an Asian, and a woman. No. 2 must be very dissatisfied. However, due to Asmodeus's pressure, he dared not speak out. Everything could only be buried deep in his heart."

"In fact, if we look at it from an objective point of view, No. 2 is the most suitable person to be No. 1. He was a senator when the North American organization was first established."

"Jealousy can make people lose their way and affect their minds. So I think No. 2 must have used his presidential power to bypass the organization's surveillance and secretly brought the ghost army into New York."

"Yes! I was captured by the Alpha Special Forces and then secretly sent to a secret KGB base in the suburbs of Moscow. There, Alisa was so proud of herself that she told me everything!" Roy said.

Irina told Roy all the details of her investigation over the past two years without reservation.

Roy looked relieved.

Selina interrupted and said, "So that's how it is. How come I don't know anything about these things? You said that there is no password between us sisters..."

Irina looked at her sister and sighed, "There are some things that I really can't let you know. I'm protecting you. I hope you can understand me..."

"I didn't even know you were connected with Mike and Maggie!" Selina said a little unhappily.

"Selena, this is a serious matter..."

Irina showed an apologetic expression on her face.

"Forget it! It's not too late to know now! Oh, by the way, Roy is being held by the KGB, and No. 2 must know about this. That means he already knows that Roy has met Alisa. If Alisa tells him that Roy already knows everything, then if we go back, won't Roy be in danger?" Selena asked.

"Yes! What you said makes sense. If No. 2 knew that Roy already knew the truth about Asmodeus' death, Roy would be in danger. But I am sure that Alisa will never tell him that Roy already knows the truth." Irina said confidently.

"Why?" Selena opened her eyes wide.

"Because the Ghost Army is going to kill Eva." Roy said on the side.

"Just going to kill No. 1?" Selina looked at Roy and asked.

Roy nodded. "Yes! Alisa told me herself that she wanted to use No. 2 to kill my mother, but No. 2 used her instead and killed my father at the same time."

hiss--

Serena took a deep breath.

Roy continued: "Alissa's love was crazy, paranoid and sick. She wanted to get my father, and then she was used by No. 2."

Serena said, "You mean that Alisa won't tell him that you know the truth because she wants to use you to kill No. 2."

Roy nodded slightly: "Yes!"

Selena: “…”

Irina stared into Roy's eyes and said, "When we return to America, I will keep an eye on No. 2's every move."

Roy hummed, then looked at the ground.

After a long time, Irina's voice sounded in Roy's ears. At this moment, she had already sat next to Roy.

"When are you going to take action?"

Roy raised his head and looked at Irina, silent for a long time.

Irina continued, "I know you will take revenge! Roy, do you know why I insist on investigating the truth of Asmodeus' death and the real culprit behind it?"

Roy looked into Irina's eyes.

Irina also looked into Roy's eyes and said, "Because this is also my goal, as well as New Hope's goal and the Cerberus Army's goal!"

Hearing Irina's words, Roy frowned slightly.

Irina: “But, not now!”

Roy: “What do you mean?”

Irina: "No. 2 is still the incumbent president. If he dies during his term, it will cause an uproar throughout the world. In less than a month, he will step down. By then... can you wait?"

"I..." Roy gritted his teeth.

"Everyone who participated in the formulation of Plan Eva must die. This is not only for Asmodeus, but also for your mother."

"You want to kill all the members of the organization's Supreme Council?"

"Yes! They...none of them is innocent!" Irina's face flashed with ferocity as she said this.

Roy faced Irina and their eyes met.

After a moment, Roy narrowed his eyes and murmured in a low voice:

"You're A-Hound..."
