Rhode Island Park Project

Well, there's nothing he can do about it. Many of the girls he's close to hold important positions in Rhodes Island. A scumbag's job is not a side job that can be treated lightly, but an important career that must be taken seriously.

That wasn't really his excuse.

In short, sitting in the car, he finally met Aledae at the underground third engineering office which had already taken shape.

The attack by the Duke of Caster and the conservatives was thwarted, and the launch of the Sailing Bracelet in Victoria was successfully completed, so the pressure naturally fell on Aleda.

The task of secretly transporting the remaining 40 Sailing Bracelets out of Victoria is currently being handled by Aleda and the elite self-rescue army team that has already set out. The environment and equipment that Rhodes Island has provided for the special training of the entire team are obvious to all, and now it is time for them to show their value.

"...Based on the intelligence provided by Count Letali, we have mapped out a transportation route. We are verifying the authenticity and reliability of the information one by one. Currently, the conditions in the first half of the journey are consistent with our plan..."

Aledea explained the situation to him with familiarity.

"Our people are trying to open up some checkpoints along this route,"

Alede raised her hand and nodded to a location on the route on the map. "This place is under the jurisdiction of a Viscount named Jantoro Howell. This Viscount belongs to the faction of Duke Hyndman, which is considered our opposing faction.

In order to ensure the stability of the entire route from now on, we are collecting some evidence against the Viscount and trying to control him quietly."

Luo Hang nodded.

He didn't ask why they didn't just kill him.

Assassinating an individual is of course easy, but when the person in charge of an area dies, the higher-ups naturally have to arrange for a new person to take over, and there is a high probability that the cause of death will have to be investigated.

Apart from increasing the risk of exposure, there is actually no benefit at all.

However, since assassinating an individual is simple, the current method is obviously much more troublesome.

"We don't have much time. Are you sure?"

Aleda showed a confident smile:

"If nothing unexpected happens, my people should be in front of Viscount Howell now."

……

Viscount Howell's residence.

“…You, who are you?!”

"Don't shout so loudly, Monsieur Viscount. No one outside can hear you."

Wearing combat uniforms and a coat, Lolo and Cor were in the Viscount's special lounge.

Luo Luo held a dagger against the terrified Viscount's neck, while Ke'er stood in front of the Viscount with a cheerful smile, tossing a small device up and down in her hand.

"The sound wave blocker is said to be a device modified from Leitania's musical theory and magic principles. Have you heard of it, Mr. Viscount?"

"I--"

The Viscount, with the dagger against his neck, had his hands shaking and opened and closed his mouth rapidly in panic, but no sound came out.

After seeing the wide-eyed Viscount's expression, Coron smiled brightly and pressed the device in her hand.

"It's like this, it's fun, right?"

"You, what do you want—"

Although his voice was trembling, the Viscount at least seemed to be aware of the situation.

"It's not that we want anything, but Mr. Viscount, you need to understand the situation."

Ke'er threw a stack of documents and photos onto the table in front of the Viscount. "They're collaborating with real estate companies to force residents to relocate, taking a cut from bidding, and even taking a cut from development. Two-thirds of the buildings they've built in the past five years are already dangerous, and they're also secretly engaging in some shady business."

Coron glanced at some powder on the Viscount's desk.

Victoria has become like this, but these nobles who govern a region are still hiding in small rooms in their own mansions and secretly indulging in contraband. It is really infuriating.

"How is it possible? How did you—"

Seeing some familiar things on the table, the Viscount's panic turned into fear.

It was a slightly chilly autumn day, but beads of cold sweat kept rolling down my forehead.

"Ah, to be honest, getting these things is easier than I thought..."

Coron complained, raising her hand and tapping the light screen beside her:

"Do you recognize that voice?"

Ke'er said, but the voice he made sounded like that of a middle-aged man.

"This is, Garrison?"

The Viscount recognized it immediately.

That was the owner of a real estate company with whom he had worked a lot.

"I used this voice to call your wife and easily got a lot of interesting information out of her."

Ke'er spread her hands. "Your wife seems to have a good relationship with this guy. I took the phone recording and asked that guy, Garrison, and he blurted out everything right away. Then I used that to ask your wife..."

Coron didn't continue, but seeing the girl shrug, the Viscount's face quickly turned from pale with fear to red, and then from red to green.

"/*Elegant Victorian Greeting*/!! /*Greetings*/ /*Greetings*/!!!"

The Viscount was so excited that he started cursing and even had blood on his neck from the scratches of the dagger.

Lolo, who was standing right next to them, had his head buzzing from the noise.

"Be quiet, you bastard!"

She kicked the Viscount directly in the calf, with the tip of her shoe hitting the shin bone accurately.

"Gah——!"

It was very effective. The Viscount's eyes widened and the curses in his mouth stopped abruptly.

After a moment of suffocation, when the Viscount wanted to open his mouth to wail, the sharp tip of the knife suddenly appeared in front of him, and the Viscount wisely swallowed his voice.

Ke'er on the opposite side secretly gave Luo Luo a thumbs up.

Due to mission requirements, they really can't kill this scum, but some necessary means to get the target to cooperate are also within the scope of mission requirements, right?

"If you, Mr. Viscount, have understood the current situation, then I think our conversation should be able to proceed smoothly."

Ke'er stood opposite the ferocious Luo Luo and put on a more approachable demeanor. "Don't worry, as long as you are willing to cooperate, we will not let you get hurt."

……

Ten minutes later, Ke'er put down the Viscount's special seal with satisfaction.

In order to conceal their true purpose, they have prepared a series of administrative documents.

These include land reform, trade reform, military administration reform, quality of life reform for residents, ban on contraband, and so on.

The aspects involved cover all aspects, and the content of the document itself was prepared by professionals in the back-end. It is absolutely effective and organized, and the one thing they really need is mixed in it.

But as a Victorian, these other contents are not unimportant.

Only the Viscount sat aside with his head hung down, looking dejected.

Being caught with something wrong, but being forced to be a good official?

What is this?

The master's order is, you have to get into Cambridge?

Mr. Viscount is a little overwhelmed.

However, the two girls, who had completed their task and were in a good mood, obviously didn't pay attention to these things.

"Keep working hard, Mr. Viscount."

Before leaving, Coron waved cheerfully to the Viscount in the house, "We will send people to check on your work regularly. It may just be someone walking around the city, or someone visiting your house, so—"

You can’t slack off.”

Luo Luo, who was standing next to Ke'er, turned his dagger in his hand like the evil spirit.

Viscount Howell smiled bitterly.

"Yes."

He watched as the two young girls pushed open the window, and then blended into the environment right before his eyes, like invisible people, and disappeared completely into the air in the blink of an eye, leaving only the window open with a whistling cold wind, and his back suddenly felt even colder.

The cold wind blowing in his face seemed to tell him that everything that happened was not a dream.

The two girls who disappeared out of thin air made the whole thing linger with a dreamlike atmosphere.

After touching the wound on his neck, the Viscount was sure that he was not really high.

In that case...

He looked around the empty room with lingering fear, then suddenly remembered something. Without even having time to sigh about surviving the disaster, he stood up from his chair.

"That /*elegant Victorian greeting*/!!"

Chapter 314: In-car Photography and Teaching Materials

The mission of the elite self-rescue army team seemed to be progressing smoothly. This good news really made Luo Hang feel a lot more relaxed.

The 40 Sailing Bracelets sold outside Victoria are related to the efforts of him and many people over this period of time. If something goes wrong at this point, it will be very unhappy.

Fortunately, the elites of the self-rescue army did not disappoint the special training environment and expensive equipment he spared no effort to provide.

Judging from the current situation, he should be able to relax for a while.

"Doctor, long-distance communication from the Duke of Windermere."

He was just about to leave the busy Third Engineering Department when he suddenly received this news.

He glanced at Aledae in front of him.

"Is there any free communication equipment here?"

"some."

"Then just take it."

After he gave the order, a vague image of the Duke of Windermere himself soon appeared on the screen in front of him.

"Why did His Excellency the Duke suddenly have time to call me?"

Luo Hang greeted him in a relaxed tone.

The Duke of Windermere on the screen was still wearing his iconic military uniform, but his expression looked quite relaxed, with a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.

"We gained a lot from the last operation. If you need any help, please let us know."

Luo Hang was speechless for a moment.

"You're really direct in what you say."

"I've never liked the nobles' ways, and communication time is tight. Since Delphine is willing to trust you and Rhodes Island, and you've demonstrated your sincerity and strength, I think communication between us can be much easier."

"Heh, it seems that the Duke's harvest this time is indeed extraordinary?"

He teased.

Judging from the Duke of Windermere's appearance, his favorability towards him had increased significantly, and even the tone he spoke to him became much more intimate.

Originally, the cooperation between him and the Duke of Windermere was largely due to Daphne's efforts to bring them together, but now the Duke of Windermere was taking the initiative to show his friendship to him.

This is of course a good thing.

The main decision-maker in the Duchy of Windermere is naturally the Duke himself. Although I don't mean to underestimate Daphne, it is obviously very valuable to have a good relationship with the Duke of Windermere himself.

"Even that guy Caister must be feeling heartbroken this time."

The Duke of Windermere on the screen smiled.

Unlike his daughter, the Duke of Windermere is more mature and majestic in temperament and figure. It is quite surprising to see a clear smile on his face.

"I also have some connections and resources within the conservative faction. Although Caister has suffered a significant blow, that guy is not an opponent to be underestimated. You'd better not take it lightly."

The Duke of Windermere offered, "I can give you a list from which you can choose people who can help you."

The news that Rhodes Island was going to ship 40 Sailing Bracelets out of Victoria was no secret, and the Duke of Windermere had obviously made some preparations before making this call.

"You don't have to refuse. Just consider this as a token of sincerity before our subsequent cooperation. My promise is still valid. And—"

The Duke of Windermere on the screen suddenly curled his lips. "Delphion keeps talking about this all day long. If I don't say something, my daughter will probably bring people to help you herself."
