"I enjoy watching this kind of scene, but getting too close is not good for either side."

"puff--"

Luo Hang laughed in a very unkind way.

Facing Yuxia who turned her head expressionlessly, he stretched out his hand and pinched the young lady's smooth cheek without concealing his smile:

"That's why I told you long ago, you're only a little old, but you're always trying to make yourself look like you've seen through the mundane world, so enlightened and profound. No wonder Huijie said you're too obsessed with face."

"Hmph, then go find your Huijie?"

The eldest lady gave him a displeased look.

Mentioning other girls on a date is a big taboo. It seems that the aloof Miss Lin is no exception.

But the smile on Luo Hang's face became even happier.

"That's what Huijie said, but I think Yuxia is cute like this too? And she seems even cuter now~"

"..."

Miss Lin, who has always been very capable, looked for the first time as if she didn't know how to answer.

"Haha, isn't this great? I really like it."

Seeing Luo Hang laughing so loudly and triumphantly, Lin Yuxia, who had been outmaneuvered, could no longer maintain her composure and spoke in a rather unpleasant tone:

"Do you need to be pleased?"

"Very good, keep it up~"

"whispering sound."

Chapter 5: Eighteen Princes Attack Luo Hang (k)

At Miss Lin's request, the details of his date with her will be kept secret for the time being.

In short, as long as I work harder, the goal of having the young lady give birth to a litter of little mice for me should not be far away.

the next day.

After the date, Miss Lin was still wearing an elegant dress, with a calm expression, as if nothing had happened and came to the backyard of her teahouse.

Her father opened a candy store in Longmen as their usual place to go, and she chose a teahouse, which could probably be considered a kind of inheritance.

Ignoring the teasing and various looks from the other employees in the room, Lin Yuxia turned her gaze to a person sitting at a table on the side, leaning back in his chair awkwardly and hooking an empty teacup with his little finger painted with red nail polish.

Seeing the eldest lady's gaze turning to him, W sitting on the seat also smiled brightly.

"Hey, nice to meet you, the gangster lady from Longmen?"

Looking at the Sarkaz mercenary who looked like a bad girl, wearing a flamboyant black T-shirt, distressed jeans, two straps slung across his waist, and a collar around his neck, Lin Yuxia didn't respond to W's words, but directly asked her own question:

"Just you?"

"Hmm? Did our doctor tell you there were other people?"

W tilted his head.

The two had heard of each other when they were in Longmen. One was a Sarkaz mercenary active in the slums, and the other was a gangster lady mainly based in the outer areas. It was obvious that they had areas of overlap.

But before this, both of them only knew each other's name but had never met in person.

"He told me two people were coming."

Lin Yuxia looked around and replied.

Yesterday, Luo Hang appointed her to set up an intelligence security agency. Apart from a sum of money and high-level authority, she only had these two promised helpers.

Now it seems that one of them is W, but the other one...

"Tsk, isn't having me enough? This feeling of having your affection snatched away by a cat and then being looked down upon by your master is truly heartbreaking."

W unhappily lowered his crossed legs and twitched his toes in annoyance.

Lin Yuxia pretended not to hear W's words, which contained a lot of information, and continued to ask calmly:

"So, you don't know who is supposed to come with you?"

After hearing this, W was obviously even more upset.

"If I had known, I would have definitely said hello to my good colleague first."

W bared his teeth and spoke in a bad tone, his sharp tail wagging in the air behind him.

Then, she suddenly saw Miss Lin opposite her with a look of surprise and vigilance on her face, as if she was looking behind her.

A very familiar voice sounded from behind her.

"If you want to say hello, it's not too late now."

"..."

W turned her head stiffly and sluggishly as if her neck was rusted, then raised her eyes and looked at the charming purple Sarkaz assassin who was standing behind her without her knowing when and looking down at her coldly.

She tried her best to pull out an unattractive arc at the corner of her mouth. She looked at Askalon in front of her, and cursed herself in her heart for being so mean. At the same time, she also slandered Luo Hang, who had assigned her an immediate superior. But she still had to put on a stiff smile and pulled the corner of her mouth under Askalon's cold gaze:

"Well, have you eaten?"

"..."

Lin Yuxia, who was watching from the side, twitched her lips, and a subtle atmosphere quickly spread among the other people watching in the room.

However, Ascalon looked away without changing his expression, and replied casually:

"have eaten."

Ignoring W in front of him, Ascalon looked at Lin Yuxia opposite him. His expression and eyes, which were even colder than those of the young lady, made it impossible to tell what this Sarkaz assassin who suddenly appeared under everyone's nose was thinking.

"The doctor asked W and me to be in charge of personnel training. You will be responsible for recruiting your people, and we will only be responsible for training. However, I must inform you in advance that -

Including official Rhodes Island operators, I have always been responsible for all traitors."

The words spoken by Ascalon were so calm and composed that it was like a chill spreading through the house in late summer.

Many people felt a chill down their spine when they thought about how this Sarkaz assassin had just appeared from the shadows in front of everyone, yet no one had noticed it beforehand.

"If someone wrongs everyone, they can't wait for you to take action."

Miss Lin looked straight into Ascalon's eyes without being moved.

Gangster has never been a word full of kindness and friendship. Although people often associate morality and brotherhood with gangsters, when facing traitors, the methods used by gangsters are definitely not what normal people want to understand.

After both sides stared at each other for more than ten seconds, Askalon's lips moved again.

"hope so."

W: "... (wagging his tail unhappily)"

Luo Hang was able to send Ascalon out as an instructor, which obviously showed that he attached great importance to the young lady in front of him and the things she was responsible for.

In the end, she was the only one who had to compete for favor with a kitten beside her master, and was outshined by Ascalon outside, and had to watch her master fall in love with others.

Tsk.

***

When Miss Lin decided on the first batch of intelligence agency operatives, with Askalon and W in charge of training, while she herself established the intelligence agency's operational framework, she thought that time would usher in a brief period of peace. However, just a few days later -

"The news has already spread..."

Luo Hang was flipping through the messages organized on the terminal as he spoke, but there was not much surprise on his face.

"Yes."

Amiya stood in front of Luo Hang with a serious face. "According to the information we have collected so far, the relevant topic first came from Londinium, and then broke out in the Dukedom of Caister. Now the whole thing is spreading rapidly."

"Sarkaz, Duke of Caister, it's really not a surprising name at all."

Luo Hang flipped through the photos on the screen.

Apart from a few blurry photos of the train interior, more noteworthy photos are mainly of the Duke of Cumberland House, with Vina and members of the Glasgow Gang appearing directly on the screen.

"I'm afraid these photos weren't obtained by the Sarkaz?"

Amiya took a look at the photo on Luo Hang's screen.

"According to the information traced back, the source should be within the Dukedom of Caister, appearing immediately after the news broke."

"Oh, it seems that Duke Caister is really angry this time."

Faced with the grim situation, Luo Hang still smiled.

Although the Duke of Caister did not get the photo of the Breath of Kings, Vina, who had obvious Aslan features, appeared in the Duke of Cumberland's Mansion, and there was also news from the Sarkaz.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince returned to the crisis-ridden Londinium. If not for Victoria's national sword, what else could it be for?

Even if there are other possibilities, this matter is enough to confirm 80% of the situation.

What's more, a living crown prince has his own value that cannot be ignored.

"The Duke of Caister has already proposed inviting His Highness and the Sword of State to Caister to assist in the protection of the Duchy. Some nobles other than the Grand Duke have also gathered together, mainly the royal conservatives representing the military, and have proposed the slogan of defending the king.

The Duke of Wellington and the Duke of Windermere have not yet made any clear statements, but there are some rumors that warships are being mobilized in the territories of both dukes.

"This is really a situation where we are surrounded by enemies from all sides."

Luo Hang sighed slowly.

If there was only news about the Sarkaz, as Victoria's public enemy, the disturbance it could cause might not be that big, but the old woman, the Duke of Caister, was indeed cruel enough.

As the only party besides the Sarkaz and Rhodes Island who knew the authenticity of the news, not only did they not consider covering up the news to gain their own benefits, but they directly exploded.

It's just that he stole her girl and killed some of her people. I don't know if you need to be so angry.

But speaking of it, with such a big scene, someone should have come here first, but there has been no movement until now.

"Om-"

A communication screen suddenly popped up on the terminal in Luo Hang's hand.

Speak of the devil, and he will appear...

He answered the call, and a tiger face immediately filled the entire screen.

"You guys, you really did cause such a huge mess for me without making any noise?!"

Old Adams came up and started roaring.

"Haha, you came a little later than I expected. Could it be that the old man overslept?"

Luo Hang smiled leisurely.

It would have been fine if he hadn't said this, but once he did, Adams on the screen looked even angrier.

"Those useless guys, whenever something goes wrong they come to me crying and yelling, eager to surrender immediately. Do you know how much effort I put in to deal with those guys for you?"

As Old Adams spoke with a look of disappointment, Luo Hang recalled the spy from Shi Huaiya's family that Yuxia had caught before, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

"Those people want to hand us over in exchange for benefits? Are they thinking of sending us away and leaving Rhodes Island behind so they can divide up our things?"

Luo Hang said as he thought about it.

"Ok?"

Adams was a little surprised. "If I wasn't hundreds of kilometers away from your Rhodes Island, I would have suspected that you had sneaked into my house."

"Oh, do you really need to see something of this magnitude with your own eyes?"

Luo Hang leaned back with a sneer, "It's just human nature."

When a wall falls, everyone pushes it; when people are greedy, they want to swallow an elephant.

"Rhodes Island has been docked here for so long, trading with the surrounding cities, showing us far more than what appears to outsiders. I'm afraid some people have been coveting us for a long time, right?

This is just part of it. With such a big fuss this time, I guess those guys on your side who already have ulterior motives will be unable to hold back, right?"
