Civilization Guardian Front

The expression on his face was forcibly controlled by Meluette, and there was no abnormality.

But the girl's little hand involuntarily reached for the mechanism on the armrest of the wheelchair with the golden pattern of vines, which imperceptibly explained her fear at the moment.

"A few members of the Sherlock Holmes family also know about our meeting today..." Don't forget grass-colored eyes, staring at the slowly approaching man, Mellie warned solemnly:

"If you have done anything to me here, you cannot escape responsibility, Lord Pembroke."

At this point, Chios had already come forward.

"What did you do, huh, it's really a vague definition... why don't we explain it more clearly." He leaned down, brushed away the champagne blonde hair that was in the way with his right hand, and put on Mellie's white and tender hair. cheek.

Like a blind man looking for something, the thumb slowly slides down from the eyelashes, passes through the cheekbones and nose, and finally stops on the pale pink lips.

"If I kiss these soft lips now, what will it cost?"

As he was asking questions, he did not forget to lightly scratch the girl's lips and cheeks with his fingers.

The skillful technique seems to have specially studied the location of the tactile receptors in women's whole body, continuously stimulating every inch of the senses.

Mellie held back with difficulty, and swallowed back the moan that was about to overflow from her body.

Staring bitterly at the man in front of her, the girl knew very well that with the difference in strength between the two sides, it was impossible for her to resist the other party.

And once she really called for help and called the police, it would be tantamount to blatantly announcing that the Holmes family and the Marshall family were enemies, and it would not help her current situation in the slightest.

(I can only blame my reasoning error...)

She really didn't expect that a man with almost no taint on his reputation, who even miraculously rescued nearly a thousand hostages two months ago, and talked eloquently in front of the media...

He actually has such a bad character!

"Even though my body looks like this, I am still a direct member of the Sherlock Holmes family, and I am even more recognized than my sister to take over the future of this family. One can imagine the consequences of my actions..."

Speaking of this, she pointed her eyes at the wheelchair she was sitting in, and replied to the young man's previous question with a hint of shame:

"You don't want to marry a woman who is in poor health and has a sullen temperament. If you understand that, let go..."

Before the words were finished, Chios put his left index finger on the girl's lips to stop her from continuing.

"How do you know I don't want to..."

The deep amethyst-colored pupils stared straight at Mellie's blue eyes, like a mirror that could reflect the soul of the other party.

"Just rely on your current reasoning with insufficient information? Or, are you just so inferior to yourself that you subconsciously think so?"

"Ugh..."

The girl tried to turn her face away to avoid the young man's sight, but her jaw was pinched by the other party, and she twisted back forcefully.

"look at me."

Accompanied by this order, Chios leaned down and moved closer to Mellie, whose eyes were closed due to nervousness...

A delicate kiss fell between her lips and cheek.

chirp...

(I mean, I got my first kiss taken away...?)

Feeling the moist touch from the corner of her mouth, the blond girl opened her eyes in a daze, wondering whether this was a real kiss or not.

Sticking to it and leaving, but leaving room for ambiguous imagination.

When the girl's thoughts were drawn by this matter, the young man who was the culprit had already withdrawn, and returned to a step away from the usual conversation.With one hand, he took off the black diamond cuff button from the cuff of the shirt, and threw it to Meluette.

"this is!?"

Taking over the valuable decorative buckle with both hands, the girl in the wheelchair quickly figured out the purpose of this thing, and immediately opened her eyes wide.

"A small recording device, the memory card inside saved our conversation just now..." Nodding his head, he confirmed the other party's conjecture, Chios spread his hands, and said seemingly helplessly:

"The blame is in your hands. Now, if Ms. Merlot Holmes wants me to be responsible, I really can't argue with it."

After speaking, he turned around and walked towards the door where he came.

The moment he unlocked the door and reached out to put his hand on the brass doorknob, the young man suddenly turned his face to the side, and stared at the hesitant Meluette from the corner of his eye hidden in his bangs.

"By the way, since you are so smart and have the courage to confront me, I will answer the question you are most concerned about..."

"After your sister transfers to Tokyo Butei High School, she won't be in any danger. After all, if nothing happens to her, it will be more helpful for me to stabilize the situation."

After leaving these words, the Earl of Pembroke, who was a brief guest, opened the door and left.

In the room, only Merliet was left.

With mixed eyes, after watching the visitor leave, she stretched out her little hand tremblingly, gently stroking the corner of her lips that was attacked not long ago.

"Bad man."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The alliance between Yiyou and the Witch Company was carried out in a low-key manner throughout the whole process, and most members of the Witch Company still maintained the previous course of action. Even though the three high-level cadres rarely showed up recently, it was not easy to attract suspicion in a short time.

It wasn't until mid-August that people who secretly followed the second largest underground organization in Europe realized that something was wrong...

Witches who are keen to stir up disputes and appear on the battlefield as mercenaries, although they frequently enter and leave battlefields around the world as before, it is increasingly rare for them to instigate extreme religions and nationalists.

It's like responding to a story, but the actual center of gravity has long since disappeared.

For many years, the freemason "Free Masons", who have been suppressing the expansion of the Witch Company's power and controlling the economies of Europe and even the Americas, are most nervous about this development.

The free stonemason, who focuses on economic and social influence, has no irreconcilable relationship with the witch company, but the witch is not allowed to ignite the flames of war in Europe and America.

However, they don't even know what the other is doing now. This is undoubtedly a very dangerous situation, adding a layer of variables to the stable power relationship in the European continent after World War II.

Including the vast majority of important people in the business and political circles, the technology industry, and the arms industry, their interests are closely related to the country.

The two world wars caused the power of European powers to decline, and many families that were once prosperous declined accordingly.

Such a profound lesson made it impossible for them to ignore the behavior of a radical criminal group like the Witch Company.

After realizing this, the senior members of the organization used their huge network of contacts and interests to hunt down all clues.

The answers they got in the end were more frightening than they had expected...

"Yiyou"

The secret society that mastered nuclear weapons and advanced intercontinental ballistic missiles and suppressed the millennium war between the world's gold holding organizations with its own power, unexpectedly joined hands with the witches.

Even though they don't know the significance of the alliance between the two parties, members of the free stonemasons clearly understand...

Rather than wait and see what happens, they should do something more or less.

2008年8月23日18：47

Minato-ku, Tokyo, suites on the 53rd floor of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel...

The orange-yellow afterglow of the setting sun turns into a soft halo through the gauze curtain and sprinkles the room, coating everything with a dreamy warm golden light.

Splendid and short, just like the time of summer vacation, it slipped away quietly, and the end is coming...

"so..."

On the sofa, Chios lumbar pillow cushions, elegant legs.

On the tea table in front of the young man, there are wooden plates full of various cheeses, ham, and melons, as well as a bottle of Chateau de Beaucastel 2001 red wine produced in Châteauneuf-du-Pape in the south of the Rhône.

Holding a fat Burgundy glass in his right hand, he swirls the beautiful ruby-colored wine in the glass while looking at the tablet computer on his lap.

"The free stonemason has contacted you. Do you want you, the commander of the Witch Company, to pass the message?"

What was displayed on the screen was a blond woman wearing an SS uniform, a badge with three symmetrical oak leaves, and a general officer's skull cap.

"Yes, they hope to send a representative to show you kindness." Iberita responded with a smile.

"He didn't hesitate to bow his head to his opponent. The figure of the free stonemason is really soft enough, but..." He said here with emotion, and he took a sip of the fine wine in his glass.

As the red berry aroma with just the right leather and gingerbread scent blooms in the mouth, the youth's conversation also changes:

"What reason do I have to let a spy board the Vostok to collect our intelligence... I am not some kind of king who needs to be celebrated for my birthday. Instead of giving me face, it is better to give me some practical benefits, right?"

"That's why I don't hesitate to bother you even in your busy schedule..." The blond woman facing the camera pressed her hands on the edge of the communicator, her shockingly beautiful face suddenly approaching.

"The high-ranking members of the free stonemasons are very shrewd. They mainly want to confirm whether the alliance between our two companies will harm their interests. In exchange, they must come up with enough resources to tempt you as bargaining chips."

She did not hide her excitement and joy, and her tone was brisk to explain in detail to Chios on the other end of the call:

"Although the wealth in Yiyou's own treasury is extremely huge, it is an underground organization and an international criminal group after all, so it is difficult to buy supplies through formal channels. What's more, the Dongfang has been in the water for nearly 30 years. Even with good use and maintenance, Yiyou It is also impossible for the trainees to overhaul the submarine on a large scale in the deep sea. In order to ensure the continuous navigation and improvement of this mobile fortress, Yiyou also needs a dock..."

After talking so much in a row, Iberita even became short of breath for a while.

As if to give the other party time to breathe, the young man took over the conversation and said:

"As it happens, none of this is a problem for the Freemasonry, which has a lot of political and business resources."

"That's right, Chios-sama!"

Nodding in affirmation of what Chios said, the blond woman brushed the hair from her cheeks behind her ears with one hand, and her blue eyes shone brightly.

"In the eyes of free masons, it is perfectly normal to use some national privileges to protect their own interests. As long as the order they have worked so hard to establish is not destroyed, the weakest link of our alliance can be strengthened. "

"At that time, the extrajudicial alliance you want to establish will not be far away, hehehe."

"Laughing so happily, it seems that you considered their ideas at the beginning, so you agreed to form an alliance with us, right?"

The young man made fun of him, but Iberita responded with a smile:

"I wouldn't believe it if Mr. Chios said that he didn't see anything at the beginning."

Unexpectedly, he would be complimented so much by the other party, Chios was slightly taken aback, then shook his head with a smile.

"You think too much, I don't have the reasoning ability of a "professor", and I don't understand free stoners like you, Iberita. "

"Hey~ Then I'll just treat it like this for the time being."

Eyes narrowed half a point, the blond woman smiled meaningfully.

In this regard, the young man can only shrug his shoulders and change the subject:

"By the way, the representative of the free mason... or the "Special Observer", who comes from which famous family? "

Hearing this question, Iberita's eyes lit up.

Obviously, it was the part she was interested in talking about.

"Coincidentally, this person's ancestor was the former partner of your leader, "Professor". It can be seen that the free stonemason is going to play the old love card..."

"His name is Al Watson, the great-grandson of John Watson, who is said to be engaged to our little princess who didn't know."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

In 2008, an extraordinary year...

The signs of a financial crisis have surfaced frequently, and now it is only struggling in the last moments of the tipping point.

at the same time...

In the United States, an African-American Illinois senator, with his charismatic speeches, humble, calm, and confident words, broke the barriers of race, gender, and rich and poor in the country, stood out from competitors in the same party, and won the Democratic Party. The nomination of presidential candidates enters the final stage of the presidential campaign.

For Chios, all this is the past that he has witnessed.

Now, in a mission world full of fantasy elements, I am fortunate to experience it again.

And his own role has also changed...

From a simple rich teenager to become the number two figure in the world's largest criminal organization.

Looking at the international news broadcast on TV, Chios couldn't help feeling a little sigh in his heart.

Putting the tablet computer in the standby state in his hand into the emblem space, he raised his Burgundy glass and drank the rest of the red wine with his head up.

The black-haired girl who was walking over with a plate of cut and cut fruit suddenly burst out laughing when she saw this scene.

"I didn't expect you to have such a side..." Bending down to put down the silver tray, Tifa took a seat on the other sofa beside the young man, and looked at him with her chin propped on her plain hand.

"It's a rare day when I don't have dates or other arrangements. I actually just stay in the hotel drinking and watching TV. It's no different from ordinary office workers on vacation."

"I'm focused on work..." Chios replied, skillfully using a knife and fork, wrapped the thinly sliced ​​ham around the cantaloupe and put it in his mouth.

The sweet juice of melon and fruit intertwined with the saltiness of Parma ham, bringing a wonderful taste experience.

"After the election, our mission targets are about to appear, and now we are thinking about how to deal with them."
