"Roy, why did you say that Xiao Hao could only go to one place? Can't Xiao Hao leave Asara?"
For Lina, a newcomer who had just arrived at the Special Operations Department, Roy and Veelong, who had caught up on their sleep, decided to give her a proper make-up of what had happened while she was away from the Special Operations Department.
"Oh! You want to hear a story? Me too! I've only heard Xiao Hao talk about some interesting things before. Hey, tell me more stories about Xiao Hao! Like, any embarrassing things that happened to Xiao Hao?"
And now, wherever there's fun, there's the Secret Service's Lucky Three. They're going to add another member to the list. When Claire saw this, her eyes lit up, and she immediately pulled Roy aside, saying she wanted to hear about Xiao Hao.
Chapter 726 There's No Going Back
Seeing how interested Claire and Lina were, Roy silently apologized to Zhang Hao in his heart, realizing that his desire to share had completely exploded.
Roy: Hey Marseille Xiaohao, I really can't help but share those embarrassing things you didn't want anyone to know with these two ladies who are so eager to know.
People like Mai Xiaowen and Luna, who basically knew the situation, shook their heads speechlessly. It seemed these people could really chat all night. They should go back and scroll through their phones for a while before going to sleep.
Until the morning of the next day..............
At this moment, Veyron and Lina each found a spot on the sofa and fell asleep, while Claire and Roy still had excited smiles on their faces, and would pat the sofa and laugh heartily when they talked about something exciting.
"Wow, this Special Operations Unit is so interesting! Was Xiao Hao really that shy before? I really can't imagine it. If I could travel through time, I would really like to go back to when Xiao Hao first came to your Special Operations Unit. Xiao Hao must have been so much fun back then."
"Oh, that's for sure. Luna just kissed Xiao Hao's cheek, and he turned bright red instantly. You didn't see it in person, did you? Tsk tsk tsk."
Ring ring...
Just as the two were still chatting happily, Claire's phone rang in her pocket. After gesturing to Roy, Claire took out her phone and glanced at it.
After seeing the words "Ms. Desmoulins" displayed on her phone screen, Claire answered the call out of curiosity. It was only around 7 o'clock, so what could Ms. Desmoulins possibly want to see her about at this hour?
"Ms. Demurean, is there any mission I need to carry out?"
Claire: Um... I'm sorry, Ms. Demulan. After being in the Special Operations Department for so long, I feel like I can't go back. I... I've become the Special Operations Department, I've become Xiao Hao. So if I get a mission, it will probably be the last one I do for Hafk!
However, after hearing what Demulan said to her, the usually carefree Claire was stunned on the sofa. Seeing this, Roy was also curious. What kind of thunderous remarks did Demulan make that could make Claire react like this?
Roy: I always thought that I was the only alien species in Asara who could speak so much thunder language, but it wasn't until I went to the Tower of Babel with Xiao Hao and met my good bro Rometheus that I realized there were other humans in Asara who could speak thunder language just like me.
The moment Claire hung up the phone, Roy poked his head out and asked Claire:
"What did Demulan say to you? Why did your expression suddenly fall? Does she want you to go back now?"
"No...no, let's talk about that after everyone's come down."
At this point, Claire said she had no idea how to tell the Secret Service about this, and even if she did, they would probably find it absurd.
Claire: What do you mean Miss Camille was fired? And she doesn't even have a place to live? To be honest, Ms. Demulan, I personally feel that this is a bit outrageous. Although the reason is indeed a legitimate one, if even I think it's outrageous, then I can only imagine what other people would think.
When Roy saw Claire say that, he nodded in agreement. Anyway, it was already the morning of the second day, and it was almost time for Deep Blue to come down and make breakfast.
Roy said he could wait that long, and then leaned back on the sofa for a nap. After all, he wasn't a young man like Wei Long anymore, and he would feel a bit tired after not sleeping all night.
Especially when Roy looked at Veelong lying not far from him, still having a sweet dream, he also said that Veelong was just lame. He was already 27 years old, and he thought that Lina couldn't keep up.
Where did that guy who used to drag you through the night watching Naruto go?! He actually went to sleep quietly while we were chatting until midnight.
Roy: As an old man, I despise you.
Roy had just leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes when Deep Blue came out of the room, ready to go downstairs to prepare breakfast for everyone.
After seeing these people sleeping in various positions on the sofa, Shenlan watched quietly for a few seconds before deciding to make some soup for them in the morning to nourish them.
Not long after Shenlan entered the kitchen, the others also came out of the room one after another. After Claire saw the refreshed Zoya and Zhang Hao rubbing his wrist, she understood that last night must have been another extremely energy-consuming physical training session for Xiao Hao.
Claire: To be honest, it has been quite a while since the last time, and I'm starting to miss it... No, no, Claire, are you trying to exhaust Xiao Hao? Let's just bear with it a little longer.
Not long after everyone came down, Shenlan brought out the breakfast she had prepared from the kitchen, and then asked Zhang Hao to wake up the people on the sofa.
"Um... I think I have something to tell everyone."
After everyone had sat down at the table and started eating, Claire, after mentally preparing herself for a while, finally spoke.
"Huh? Claire, why don't you just say what you want to say? What are you doing now, acting like you're constipated? Have you been possessed by something evil?"
When Luna saw her best friend with such an expression, her heart skipped a beat for no reason. But thinking that nothing serious was going to happen, she suppressed her inexplicable palpitations, picked up the seaweed and egg drop soup that Shenlan had made that morning, and took a sip to calm herself down.
Chapter 727 The Coming of Kami (1)
"Um...actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that...Ms. Demulan told me this morning that Cammy has been fired by that Hudson guy and is now being kicked out of the space base. She wants to come and stay with us for a while."
Luna: Pfft!!!
Luna couldn't help herself and spat out the soup she hadn't swallowed yet, right at Claire. After receiving a resentful look from Claire, Luna awkwardly handed her a tissue from the table.
"No way, Hudson just fired Demulan's daughter? Wow, Hudson is really brave. No wonder Claire had that expression on your face earlier, like you wanted to say something but didn't know what to say."
As for this excuse that Claire couldn't accept at first, Roy quickly accepted Demulan's statement after thinking for a few seconds. After all, in his opinion, it didn't matter if the Secret Service had one more Cammy. There were already enough people. It was just that they might have to squeeze into a room with someone else.
"Did Demulan really say that? Did she tell you the reason why Cammy was fired? Logically speaking, Hudson would only consider targeting the people around Demulan if he directly confronted her. Right now... shouldn't they still be in a phase of testing and checking each other?"
Deep Blue was slightly puzzled after hearing this. Was this Demulan really that weak? And wasn't Daisy by her side? Couldn't the two of them together protect Kami?
"Perhaps Hudson's authority within the Hafk Group is actually greater than we previously anticipated. If Demulan can protect her daughter now, then her soldiers are even more vulnerable. If Hudson continues to grow in power..."
Mai Xiaowen couldn't help but wonder if Hudson was different from what they had expected. If the difference was too great, they would have to make corresponding changes to the preventative measures they had implemented.
Claire was dumbfounded to see that the style of the painting was completely different from what she had imagined. Did they not realize that Ms. Demulan and Ms. Daisy wanted to take this opportunity to send Miss Camille to the Secret Service?
At that moment, Claire suddenly realized that she was the only one here who had been called aside for a private talk by Ms. Desmulland, and it seemed that she was the only one who truly understood Ms. Desmulland's ulterior motives.
Claire knew very well how much of a concession Ms. Demulan was willing to make for Miss Cammy, and as for the Secret Service agents, their first reaction upon hearing what she had said would probably be about Hudson's power.
It's likely that these women would only consider Ms. Desmulan's idea after they've figured out Hudson's perspective.
Claire: Hey, so if that's the case, doesn't it mean I'm now looking at things from the second level?
"Does our Special Operations Unit have any spare rooms available right now?"
After thinking for a moment, Deep Blue suddenly remembered that after welcoming Lina, there were no extra rooms left in the entire Special Operations Department. If Kami wanted to come, he would have to squeeze in with someone.
However, after considering what Xiao Hao had told her about Kami, Shen Lan silently looked at the girls. It was really unlikely that Kami would sleep with Xiao Hao if she came.
“It’s okay, Deep Blue. Anyway, Claire usually sleeps with me. Just give the room that’s being cleaned to Cammy. It would be really bad if Cammy came and took up Xiao Hao’s spot.”
When Luna thought of the image of that soft and sweet little girl, Kami, snuggling in Xiao Hao's arms late at night, whispering sweet nothings, and then the two falling asleep in each other's arms, she immediately decided to sacrifice herself to put the women present at ease.
Luna: I'm so amazing!
Zoya and Mai Xiaowen nodded repeatedly after hearing this, giving Luna a thumbs up. Good sisters, to be honest, if Kami really came, given her personality, they wouldn't be able to use the same methods they used on Mai Xiaowen to deal with her.
Mai Xiaowen: So, I'm not that much older than that Kami, and this is how you bully people? You guys really don't even bother to pretend anymore.
After seeing that there was now a room, Deep Blue considered the pros and cons and then looked at Claire, saying:
"Claire, you can tell Demulan later that the person can come, but she has to give us a plan. First of all, she has to ensure that all Skynet satellites along this route are turned off when Cammy arrives at our Secret Service. After all, our Secret Service has jamming devices."
“Since Hudson has such high command authority, it’s not difficult for him to access the Skynet satellites and find our Special Operations Unit’s location. So shutting down the Skynet satellites is just a prerequisite. Also, tell her to be careful not to let the fire spread to our Special Operations Unit. I only thought of sending her daughter over because of Xiao Hao.”
Claire hadn't expected that Ms. Desmulan's seemingly purposeful plan would be so easily accepted by the Secret Service, and the key to all of this was Hudson.
Hudson: Hmm... Something's not right. Didn't I just fire Demulan's precious daughter? Now all I have to do is wait for Demulan to come and negotiate with me, right? Why do I feel like I've been cuckolded for no reason?
"Don't worry, Instructor Deep Blue. I'll explain everything you've said to Ms. Demulan later. I think Ms. Demulan and the others have already thought of these things, since it concerns Miss Kami's safety, and they should take it very seriously."
Claire: Ms. Desmoulins, I owe you nothing now. I also need to be honest with you later. I will take good care of Miss Camille here. This is my last mission!
Zhang Hao: Although I didn't say a word, it doesn't mean I have nothing to say. I'm just thinking, will the days ahead in the Special Operations Department be the biggest challenge of my life so far?
Chapter 728 The Coming of Kami (2)
"What?! You mean Deep Blue and the others agreed so easily? Daisy, you're amazing! Is it really possible for things to go that smoothly?"
After finishing breakfast, Claire called Demulan back and told him that Deep Blue and the others had agreed to let Cammy stay at the Special Operations Department.
At the same time, Claire also mentioned the conditions that Deep Blue had put forward to Demulan at the dinner table. Demulan, who had already run off to tell Daisy the good news, ignored what Claire said afterward and started telling her own Camille to pack her things.
It wasn't until Claire yelled at her several times that Demulan came to her senses. After clearly understanding that Deep Blue's "prerequisites" were not, in her opinion, not requirements, she patted her chest and said that there was no problem at all.
Demulan: As a poor old mother who worries about her child, I naturally take this very seriously. You know, I was originally planning to shut down the Skynet satellite for a while.
After all, if Hudson really found out where Kami was via satellite, and then really clashed with that bastard, nobody knows if he would take out his own Kami and give him a taste of his own medicine.
DeMouran: To prevent that from happening, I do need to come up with some corresponding strategies.
“Ms. Demouran, I... I also have something to tell you.”
Claire said that although it might not be the right time to resign, the thought of seeing Xiao Hao every day at the Secret Service, and if she was lucky enough to catch him, they could even take a nice afternoon nap together, made Claire feel sorry for Demulan.
"Huh? Claire, just say it. Why are you being so hesitant now?"
At this moment, Demulan, who was in a great mood, did not realize what Claire's sudden change of tone meant, and told Claire to speak freely.
“Ms. Demouran, I may have to submit my resignation and transfer to the Secret Service.”
. . . . . . . . . . .
. . . . . . . . . . .
After Claire finished speaking, there was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. Seeing this, Claire's heart began to pound. Would Ms. Desmulan disagree? But she was already with the Secret Service, and she had already spoken. There was no turning back.
Claire: Hmm~~~ It's been a long time since I've felt this kind of heart-pounding. And when I was at the Hafker Group, Ms. Demulan really took good care of me. At least she didn't act like Hudson now, who's always thinking about how to exploit his subordinates.
After a minute of silence, Demulan finally spoke again:
"Claire, have you thought this through? Is this your idea or...?"
“Ms. Demurean, this is my own idea. After all, I initially wanted to work at the Hafk Group while searching for my best friend. Now I have found him within the Secret Service, so this is something I have thought about carefully before telling you.”
"I see..."
Upon hearing Claire's words, Desmoulins, who was sitting on the sofa, felt a pang of reluctance. Although Claire was a rather impulsive child and often caused him some kind of trouble.
However, Desmulan knew very well that Claire's abilities, as she was by her side, far exceeded her expectations, and she also showed a level of loyalty that she was quite satisfied with. It could be said that Desmulan had long considered Claire one of her own.
But now that she has found her close friend and wants to stay with the Secret Service, Demulan can only sigh that he has lost another key member of his team.
Demulan: Sigh, I already have few generals here, and now the strongest one I have has resigned. This job is getting harder and harder to carry out. And all of this is because of that damn Hudson. No, I need to upgrade and modify the AWM bullets to ensure that they can kill him with one shot in the future.
"Alright, since you've said that, I can't possibly force you to stay, can I? Claire, I'll give you one last assignment before you leave. When my Cammy arrives at the Secret Service, please take good care of her for me."
Upon hearing this, Claire immediately responded:
"Yes! Don't worry about that, Ms. Demuren. The people in the Secret Service are all good people, and I think Miss Camille will adapt to life here very quickly!"
