Mystery: I Married the Queen of Mystery.

Chapter 90 Is it really just a meal?
The name "Chief" was well-known in Backlund's intelligence community. Furthermore, since Odysseus was escorting Hugh Dilcha on behalf of MI9, several of Cyril's officers came out to greet him personally.

This officer was the head of the Operations Department. He was in his forties, somewhat plump, and had a mustache on his upper lip. "Mr. 'Chief,' please come in, please come in!"

Odysseus raised his hand and said without any introduction, "Chief Danesi, let's talk here."

They both work in intelligence. Although they have never met, they must have seen each other's resumes and information.

He turned slightly and introduced, "This is Miss Dilcha. She has been commissioned by the Hound to investigate Bruce's case.

"During the investigation, she was chased for unknown reasons, so she asked me for help, and I sent her here.

"Because your commission has caused a lot of inconvenience to Miss Dilcha, I have three requests."

Danesi, the operations section chief, quickly said, "Go ahead."

"First, this commission is too dangerous, so the reward will be doubled," said Odysseus.

As he spoke, he looked at one of Danesi's subordinates, a man in his thirties with short hair and a high Adam's apple, as if there was an egg stuck in his throat.

Odysseus sensed the anger that was being suppressed in the other person's expression and eyes.

But Odysseus had never met the other person before, and had no memory of offending him, so he didn't take it too seriously.

At the same time, Danesi immediately asked the people around him: "How much reward was promised at that time?"

One of his subordinates replied, "The reward offered by the Occult Research Society is 20 pounds."

Danesi said readily, "I'll give you 50 pounds."

Odysseus continued, "Secondly, Miss Dilcha will treat me to lunch tomorrow at noon to thank me for my protection. I hope your investigation will not interfere with our lunch, and you must not use your extraordinary abilities to interrogate her!"

Hugh hadn't made such a promise before, but she knew that this was an excuse for MI9 to release her before noon tomorrow.

Then she began to think: How should I thank Mr. "Chief"?
Danesi immediately said, "I know what you're worried about. We'd rather develop a talented person like Miss Dilcha into our informant than persecute her."

Odysseus continued, "Third, in the near future, we must protect the safety of Miss Dilcha and her family while minimizing the impact on her normal life."

"That's for sure," Danesi said with a smile. "It's very likely that we'll find other clues during the protection period."

Odysseus extended his hand and smiled, "Mr. Danesi, it's a pleasure to meet you today. Your subordinates are all excellent, calm and resolute. I believe this is inseparable from your excellent leadership."

Danesi also shook Odysseus's hand eagerly. "Are you exaggerating? Or are you truly admirable? I don't know how to thank you enough for helping us today."

The two people shook hands tightly, as if they had been good friends for more than ten years, and looked very close.

"Our cooperation has always been very pleasant." Odysseus smiled and added, "Our respective goals have never conflicted."

Danesi nodded: "You are right.

"But the thanks that should be expressed must still be expressed. I will send someone to deliver it later."

"Why are you so embarrassed?"

"You deserve it."

"..."

The two men argued for a long time before Odysseus finally said goodbye. Danesi immediately sent a carriage to take the "leader" away. He stood at the gate, watching the carriage drive away, and then said to his subordinates, "Please ask Miss Dilcha to go in and record her statement."

After Hugh followed him into MI9, the smile on Danesi's face instantly vanished. He said to his subordinates, "Upgrade the threat assessment of the 'leader' and send a more senior investigation team to investigate the 'leader's' background."

He had just heard Cyril say that the "Mechanical Heart" had equipped the "Leader" with a powerful extraordinary weapon, and MI9 didn't even know what the "Leader" looked like. Such a person must be given enough attention.

When Odysseus returned to 199 Hairun Avenue, he indeed received a "thank you" from MI60, a "Good Citizen Certificate" and a £ bonus.

He laughed and said, "This guy is really perfunctory."

Odysseus had long heard that this Danesi was a man who appeared to be friendly on the surface but was insidious and cunning in private.

But I didn't expect that this guy would be so stingy!
After thinking about it for a while, Odysseus asked the waiter to post the certificate in the most conspicuous place in the living room, then gave each of the two waiters a bonus of 1 pound, and used the "teleportation array" in the basement to leave.

After riding the carriage back to the herbal medicine shop, Odysseus first applied some blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing potion on his chest. After feeling much better, he continued to make the "Flame Arrow".

That night, he stayed at another base, 176 Riverbend Avenue.

By all accounts, Chibman's accomplices should have found Simon.

……

North District, 16 Ernst Avenue, "Nanmu Ballroom".

Late in the evening, Ms. Mandy, who was dressed in a professional suit and looked quite elegant, heard that Lord Asherborn was coming to visit in person, so she asked the waiter to invite him into her office.

Before this, Asherbourne's butler had come once in the morning and once in the afternoon, but Mandy did not meet him as Mr. Gall instructed.

In the morning, when Mandy learned from the newspaper that Lord Ashburn's house was on fire, she was not surprised. After all, Mr. Gall had decided to warn Ashburn yesterday afternoon.

But to Mandy's surprise, Mr. Garr hadn't even asked her to issue a commission to the Extraordinary Mercenaries. The warning had already served its purpose. Mandy spent the entire day pondering this matter, feeling uneasy.

Mr. Gal was somewhat disappointed with her previous slowness in not completing the warning through her. She reflected on this for the entire day and didn't know when she started to become a little slack in her intelligence work.

This time Mr. Gal used other channels to solve the problem, which was undoubtedly a warning to her!
At this moment the waiter knocked on the door, announcing that Lord Asherbourne was brought in.

Mandy came back to her senses, took a deep breath, and concentrated on dealing with Asibourne.

In her opinion, Mr. Gall asked her to decide whether the matter of Asibourne should end or not, which showed that Mr. Gall still trusted her. Of course, she could not let Mr. Gall down.

Asiborn brought a land deed. He said he admired everything Mr. Gar had done for the women of Backlund, so he bought the large shop to the left of the Nanmu Ballroom and donated it to Mr. Gar as a token of his respect.

Mandy felt that Asibourne was sincere, so she accepted the deed and chose to reconcile with the lord.

Asibourne finally breathed a sigh of relief and was able to sleep peacefully.

……

Around 9 a.m. on Wednesday.

Wearing a knight's uniform, with messy hair and a little greasy from staying up late, Xio Diercha finally returned to the rental house she and Fors shared.

Fors, dressed casually, had to rush a manuscript today, so she got up early. Seeing Xiou return, she quickly asked, "Xiu, what important commission did you investigate last night? You didn't even come back all night?"

Last night, Xio had someone from MI9 deliver a letter to Fors, but there were many things she couldn't say. She only told Fors in the letter that she was going to do some research that evening and would not be returning.

Because this wasn't the first time there had been a mission at night, Fors didn't take it too seriously. She thought it was due to the circumstances surrounding Xio's letter, and that she couldn't include the specific mission details in the letter.

Xio yawned and said, "I went to MI9 yesterday!"

Fors stood up suddenly, looked at Xio again, and asked with concern, "Are you...are you okay?"

It is said that this is a region where lynching is rampant and where the judicial authorities have no right to intervene.

If a wild Beyonder like Xio who has no backing was caught in there, there would be almost no chance of him coming out alive.

Xio waved his hand: "It's okay..."

She recounted her experience yesterday afternoon, and to be honest, she herself found it a bit magical.

She was being hunted by a Sequence 7 team, yet she only suffered minor injuries. She entered MI to record her statement, and everyone was polite to her.

"Chief"! All this is because of "Chief"!
It was the "Leader" who repelled the Sequence 7 and escorted her safely to MI.

It was the "leader" who helped her negotiate with MI9, preventing them from using any lynching or interrogation against her using their extraordinary abilities.

Thinking of this, Xio said seriously, "Thanks to the protection of the 'leader', otherwise this commission would have gotten me into big trouble!"

Fors nodded. "I do need to thank the 'leader,' but...but the leader won't even consider the 50 pounds you earned, right? How should I thank him?"

Xio said, "The 'leader' used the excuse that I wanted to treat him to a meal and asked the MI9 people to release me this morning.

"I thought about it and decided to treat the 'chief' to a meal."

Fors was slightly stunned: "Just eating?"

"if not?"

Fors glanced at her friend's flat chest and said, "That's right. Your face looks cute, but what about your figure? Except for some perverts, no one would want to take advantage of you."

Quinn rolled his eyes, "Thank you for the compliment!"

……

It wasn't until Wednesday morning that Odysseus finally completed the orders for the "Mysterious Queen" and Klein.

In a good mood, he wrote a letter to Arya, a subordinate of the "Mysterious Queen", asking her to come and pick up the goods at any time. He also prayed to the "Fool", asking Mr. Fool to "tell" the "world" that the weapons he needed were ready.

Soon, "World" responded, hoping to complete the transaction immediately.

So Odysseus sacrificed a brand new "Flaming Arrow" and a piece of letter that recorded the formula and process of making its bullets to the "Fool".

A few minutes later, Odysseus used the bestowal ritual to obtain 600 pounds in cash, completing the transaction.

Odysseus was just about to go out and buy some Fenapotent grilled fish or Disi grilled meat to reward himself, but his pocket watch suddenly lit up again.

He immediately guessed that it was very likely that Xio was really going to treat him to lunch.

Unfortunately, the character of "Chief" is fabricated after all, so it is best not to eat with others, as that would reveal many of Odysseus's own habits.

So Odysseus took out a 5-sol note and asked his servant Kena to sell grilled fish and grilled meat. He then took a carriage to 77 Hilton Avenue, disguised himself as the "leader", and used the "teleportation array" in the basement to meet Hugh.
