Rhode Island Park Project

"Immediately stop the pursuit, where are you now?!"

"What happened, Captain? We've just found a hidden station along the transport route. It's possible that this is inside (a roaring sound not too far away)!"

The expression of Horn, who was holding the communicator, suddenly changed.

"Triangle?!"

"Damn it! We've been ambushed!

They're deliberately luring us here... These guys' equipment and tactics are unusual. It's hard to hit them with either spells or crossbows. They're probably from the Ghost Army!"

"Don't worry about that for now. Your primary goal is to stay alive. I'll be there soon!"

"Yes!"

Luo Hang looked at the stern-looking Horn who had hung up the call, and said in a calm tone:

"It seems they've also realized the problem. 'Deep Pool' is now taking action against those who are searching for their Originium artifacts."

"I understand what you mean, Doctor. Since the garrison has been dealing with the Ghost Army, no, with Deep Pool, for so long, they must have a lot of knowledge about their uniforms, weapons, and tactics.

Triangle and the others don't yet understand the severity of the situation, or who the real enemy they are facing is. I must rush over to support them as soon as possible."

The horn spoke rapidly, and the bagpipe beside him stood up with a serious expression.

"Captain, Cello is still in the barracks! You asked her to act as a liaison there—"

"Damn it! The garrison still doesn't know we've discovered their problem. Cello should be able to get out on his own. We have to rescue Triangle and the others first."

Horn picked up his communicator again and walked quickly towards the gate.

However, before leaving, Hao Jiao, who was holding the communicator, did not forget to turn around and look solemnly at Luo Hang who stood up from his chair.

"Thank you very much for the information this time, Doctor. Once we rescue the people, we will definitely come back to express our gratitude to you!"

"Haha, we are companions now, so this little help is only natural."

Luo Hang picked up the teacup on the table and raised it from a distance with a smile, then placed it next to the empty teacup left by the horn. He smiled at the two people who were ready to go:

"Then I wish you two a safe journey."

Looking at Luo Hang standing next to the two teacups placed together, Horn's resolute expression softened for a rare moment, and then became firm again. He nodded to Luo Hang, and without saying another word, he and Bagpipe quickly left the house.

Four empty teacups were still placed in the room, but only two people were left there.

"Aren't we going to help?"

Chen Huijie watched the horn and bagpipe disappear outside the door, walked up to Luo Hang and asked in a low voice.

When she was the head of the inspection team in the Guard Bureau, she had indeed learned how to give orders and how to direct operations.

But she had to admit that she was now more accustomed to listening to Luo Hang.

No matter how much she criticized this guy's scumbag behavior, she was very impressed by her man's abilities.

“Trust is built step by step. Too much is as bad as too little.”

Luo Hang shook his head slightly.

He was very clear about the theory behind this, and he had already put it into practice when dealing with the Mudstone Team.

"Active kindness is never as important as self-awareness, and no amount of kindness is as important as guilt.

Bugle and Bagpipe are very powerful. I wouldn't be surprised if they could rush out of the barracks. Even if we follow them, it will only be icing on the cake. There is no need to waste our time.

Our biggest enemy is not the troops stationed in Xiaoqiu County, but our own mission has not yet been completed."

In this conversation, he had already given Horn the opportunity to save the lives of his team members and companions, which was already an indelible favor. Any more enthusiasm would have seemed deliberate.

"Then what do we do now?"

"Um……"

Luo Hang curled his lips and said, "Go prepare a gift for the kitten we released... as a reward for their invitation."

Seeing Luo Hang's smile, Chen Huijie realized from the bottom of her heart -

Someone is going to be in trouble.

……

A small manor.

“…Please come in, both of you!”

A baron with a small moustache warmly welcomed Luo Hang, who was carrying a briefcase, and Chen Huijie, who was his bodyguard, into the mansion.

"Welcome to the banquet, Your Excellency. A man of your discerning character will surely gain everyone's approval at the banquet, and even the favor of that lady."

From the moment he entered the door, the Baron expressed his praise for Luo Hang generously.

But in fact, this was the first time the two met.

"It seems that the news about the supporters' gathering in Shenchi tonight is not false."

"Oh, shh, shh! Don't say that name out loud! It's okay with me, but if someone with ulterior motives accidentally hears it, it will get you into big trouble!"

The Baron looked around hurriedly and saw that there was indeed no one nearby. He breathed a sigh of relief and took out his handkerchief to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

"Haha, don't worry, Mr. Baron. My guards have ensured the safety of this area. That's why I can say this with confidence."

Luo Hang said this leisurely as he walked to the luxurious sofa, looking at Mr. Baron with a half-smile.

"There are only three of us here. No one else is present. Unless you, Mr. Baron, are not loyal to Deep Pool, then our conversation will definitely not be leaked, right?"

"Of course! No one can question my loyalty to the organization. You can trust me completely!"

The Baron immediately patted his chest and made a promise.

"I guess so."

Luo Hang also laughed happily.

As an organization, Deep Pool is currently seeking supporters from all sides to provide more guarantees for its development. This is enough to show that Abara does not completely trust the Duke of Wellington's cooperation.

If there is one thing that is completely inconsistent with Abrana's style, it is that the supporter recruitment rally this time was so crude that it allowed the upper-class nobles to promote it spontaneously without any screening or confidentiality.

Chapter 3 Is it possible that this Mandrake is just a little stupid? (k)

In fact, when Luo Hang first saw the information about the Deep Pool Gathering, his first reaction was actually 'a trap?'

Then, the second reaction was, is it too much to use such a crude trap against myself?

Therefore, he was very vigilant and conducted a very detailed investigation of the information and related content about the rally, but still could not find the problem that was consistent with his understanding, so that in the end the time and energy spent on this matter even occupied the largest part of the preparation for this operation.

Finally, he came to a conclusion that he was quite reluctant to accept.

With Abbrana's outstanding performance so prominent before her, am I being a bit too accustomed to overestimating the enemy this time?

Because his research was thorough enough, he concluded from all aspects that the arrangement of this rally was completely unlike Abara's style.

So, is it possible... that is...

The person who arranged this rally might be a little naive... a little... stupid...

Not only did Mandela, who was already in Xiaoqiu County at that time, sneezed violently, but Luo Hang, who was in a dilemma, also guessed that this might just be a private arrangement of a kitten. However, he did not want to admit the fact that he had been in a state of panic for a long time because of the kitten's harmless claws.

He also began to understand why Abbrana could abandon such a loyal kitten so easily.

It turns out that in addition to being loyal and strong, this kitten is indeed a bit simple and cute.

According to the information, Mandela was originally just an ordinary, even inconspicuous civilian girl. She had no knowledge of politics, schemes, intrigues...all of these. She was just a little girl who admired Abbrana.

Even though we know that Mandela's hands are stained with the blood of many people, it is still difficult for people to hate this little cat. They can only sigh that this is a little girl who has been led astray.

But for Abrana, who is full of heroic qualities and a stunning beauty, it is obviously difficult for her to understand the cute innocence of a kitten.

"..."

In any case, since this rough gathering really did not contain any special traps, Luo Hang just wanted to use a simpler and more straightforward method to solve this problem.

"This gathering is a great opportunity for communication, but before that, Mr. Baron, as the one who has the honor of hosting this gathering, I believe you wouldn't mind reaching some cooperation with me in advance."

Luo Hang said this with a standard smile, and took out a document from his briefcase, placed it on the table in front of Mr. Baron, and made a 'please' gesture.

"Of course, I welcome all partners at any time."

The Baron gave this answer very happily and skillfully, and it was obvious that this was not the first person he had said this to.

He worked hard to obtain the right to host this rally, naturally not just to contribute to Shenchi, his own interests were also an indispensable part.

With the help of Shenchi's reputation, this gathering not only attracted dignitaries in Xiaoqiu County, but also some nobles and businessmen from surrounding cities came here to attend. These all represented huge value.

The Baron excitedly opened the documents in front of him.

What appeared before him was a document and a recorder tucked inside it. The lighted screen on the recorder clearly indicated that it had been running for some time.

The Baron's joyful mood suddenly sank to the bottom. He glanced at the documents in the file, which contained the information and records of his contact with Shen Chi.

Adding the recorder in front of him, and thinking about what he had just said, these things were probably enough to send him to jail.

"Have you really thought this through?"

The Baron raised his head, suppressed his pounding heart, and looked at Luo Hang in front of him with forced calmness, "This opportunity involves more than just me. If you interfere here, I'm afraid you may not be able to leave Xiaoqiu County in the end."

What made the Baron feel even more depressed was that Luo Hang in front of him laughed easily without any concern.

"Mr. Baron, you can certainly gather your friends now to accuse me of a crime and prevent me from leaving Hill County, but is that really the end of the matter?"

"What do you mean?"

The baron's heartbeat accelerated involuntarily.

Luo Hang just smiled at him, then reached out and turned to the end of the document in front of him.

A clear red mark appeared at the end of the intelligence document.

"Shi Huaiya...you..."

The baron looked at the smiling Luo Hang in front of him, his lips trembling twice, and suddenly he collapsed on the sofa with all his strength, "What do you want?"

The situation was already very clear. Even if he could keep the two people in front of him in Xiaoqiu County, Duke Shi Huaiya would definitely not let it go if the people he sent did not return.

Even though Xiaoqiu County was directly under the royal family, Duke Shi Huaiya was unlikely to openly break off relations with him, but it would be easy for him to deal with a small baron like him.

"Don't be so discouraged, Mr. Baron. I just need you to do me a small favor. It doesn't cost you anything."

The smile on Luo Hang's face was still happy.

He looked at the pale Baron in front of him, who looked like he was seriously ill, and continued calmly:

"Since Mr. Baron has the honor of hosting this gathering, then there must be a way to invite our protagonist here, right~?"

“They’re going to kill me!!”

Mr. Baron shook his head in panic. "The people from Deep Pond are hiding in every corner of this city. They can never be completely eliminated. They will definitely come looking for me!!"

"So it seems I didn't act scary enough?"

Luo Hang smiled and turned up the corners of his mouth.

Without his order, Chen Huijie, who was standing behind him, had already understood and drawn his sword. The shining sword light instantly penetrated the hall.

"Alas!!!"

The vision in front of him was suddenly obscured by the dazzling sword light, and the baron, who had just shaken his head, was frightened in an instant.

The sharpness of death clearly stung his skin. When the sword light dimmed, the Baron, who was sitting stiffly in his seat with a look of horror on his face, saw familiar hair floating down.

"Next time, I'm afraid it won't just be about fixing Mr. Baron's hair. I think you know what to choose."

Luo Hang still smiled as he sat opposite Mr. Baron and said, but in Mr. Baron's eyes, this smile was no different from that of the devil.

“I understand! I understand!!”

The baron shouted in an almost distorted voice.

"Wise choice."

Luo Hang said with satisfaction.

That way, all they have to do is wait for their cute kitten to walk into the cage by itself.
