“I heard you have a close relationship with the Rothschild family?”
“Just in business dealings.”
“That’s what we thought. Based on the information we acquired, they sent out an agent to approach you. If you have a close relationship, they wouldn’t have this lack of trust. But speaking of that, you allowed that woman to get into your bed?” Natasha’s fingers tapped Jiang Chen’s shoulder and adjusted his collar.
There seemed to be a layer of meaning mixed between her words; he didn’t know if it was jealousy or mockery.
“I drank a bit much that day. Also, I acquired information from her mouth.” Jiang Chen awkwardly looked away.
Indeed, if he was sober, he never would’ve done something this reckless.
Perhaps…
“For example?” Natasha looked at Jiang Chen, quite intrigued.
“For example, the Golden Apple.” When Jiang Chen spoke, he carefully observed Natasha’s pupils. “They seemed to be searching for something called the Golden Apple. When… we were doing a certain exercise, she asked me the color of the Golden Apple.”
“What color is it?”
“It’s not gold.” Jiang Chen shrugged.
When Natasha heard Jiang Chen’s words, her eyebrows furrowed and she looked down.
“I provided the information to you. In return, I want you to clarify for me: what exactly is that thing called the Golden Apple?” Jiang Chen zoomed into Natasha’s eyes and he used a serious tone.
“Sorry, based on my level, I only know a bit,” Natasha said.
“You’re lying.” Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows.
“I’m protecting you. You won’t gain anything if you know what it is… Even the KGB doesn’t have a solid understanding if that thing really exists.” Natasha sighed.
To be honest, it felt suffocating to lie with his eyes open. (1)
Jiang Chen really wanted to tell her that the thing really existed, but the functionality wasn’t as good as you thought – it could only receive information at a certain time from a time point in the future through a special communication channel. And right now, he brought the mimicked communication channel to the apocalypse. It was currently sitting in the corner of Lin Lin’s lab.
But he obviously couldn’t do that.
Although he didn’t think Russia would be able to do anything, to avoid unnecessary trouble, that secret was better eternally sunken in the bottom of the ocean.
“Okay, if you insist on keeping it confidential.” Jiang Chen sighed with defeat and ended the topic.
“I hope you won’t misinterpret anything…” Natasha looked away, paused, and spoke again: “Returning to the topic, the Willie Society orchestrated the terrorist attack and used refugees’ bodies to fake the identity of the gunmen. Not only in Frankberg, but all of Europe is a mess because of the refugee situation.”
“When did Russia become the world police?” Jiang Chen joked.
“This has nothing to do with the world police. Do you know the beneficiary of this terrorist attack?” Natasha stared at Jiang Chen’s eyes.
From Natasha’s eyes as well as what he saw in Ber, Jiang Chen already had the answer in mind, but he still chose to ask.
“Who?”
“The Rothschilds.” Natasha gave the answer Jiang Chen expected. “The Frankberg New Party, Austria Rightwing Party, as well as Fran… They have been betting on the right-wing parties at the start of last year when the refugee problem began to escalate. They are continuously using the media to bring attention to the refugee situation and ignited the fuse at Ber half a month ago.”
“What do they want to do?” Jiang Chen asked.
“Regardless of what they want to do, they’re extremely dangerous. Also, not only us, but CIB is also investigating the dog on their leash as well as the financial monster known as the Rothschilds hidden in the public’s eyes. If you don’t want to be part of the gamble, it’s best for you to steer clear,” Natasha said with seriousness.
Jiang Chen met Natasha’s solemn expression, gave it a thought, and spoke quietly when he raised his head.
“I’ll remember your words.”
A pleased curvature appeared on Natasha’s mouth when she heard Jiang Chen’s reply.
“This was the first order of business. What about the second?”
“The second order of business: the two ‘Guardian’ vessels and two ‘Kilo’ class submarines are prepared along with the navy marines you sent. If all goes smoothly, they should dock at Coro Island’s harbor by the middle of the month… If you have the deep water harbor suitable for vessels to dock.”
“Don’t worry, once they enter Xin’s water, our people will guide the vessels to the harbor.” Jiang Chen smiled.
The construction robots he deployed at Coconut Island had already constructed the military use deep water harbor with six docking spots. Two of them would be used to dock the “Guardian” vessels and two would be used to dock the “Kilo” class submarines. In that harbor, the construction robots would complete the transformation of the vessels, for example, change the 100mm A-190 cannon in front to an electromagnetic pulse cannon.
As for the two “Kilo” class submarines, Droplet One would complete the improvement work.
“I’m here today for these two things. After we’ve finished talking business, are you not going to have a drink with me?’ Natasha smiled.
“No problem – champagne and whiskey are all in the fridge. Of course, because I have a construction completion ceremony to attend in the afternoon, I won’t be joining you.”
“Lame. Where did the girl who always follows you go?”
Just as Natasha’s words faded, she heard Ayesha’s voice from behind.
“Here.”
Natasha turned around with shock and looked at the girl who was sitting in the chair Natasha was just sitting in. She didn’t notice when the girl moved behind her at all.
And with the clothes on her, her appearance was certainly…
“Your clothes…” Natasha checked out her pure black attire.
Ayesha didn’t respond and continued to look at her without any expression.
But Jiang Chen still noticed a curvature appearing on her mouth when she saw the shocked Natasha.
“It’s just a full body suit with a unique appearance.” Jiang Chen smiled.
Even a KGB agent couldn’t detect a Ghost Agent with optical illusion activated. Jiang Chen was extremely pleased with the actual ability of the stealth suit.
Of course, it also had to do with Ayesha’s superb stealth abilities; optical illusion would only disguise the figure, while the sounds of walking, breathing, and turbulence created by moving wouldn’t disappear.
Because of Ayesha’s sudden appearance, Natasha lost the mood to tease Jiang Chen. She took two bottles of Whiskey from the fridge in the kitchen before she left.
She still didn’t understand how Ayesha managed to do it.
When Natasha left, Ayesha took off the carbon Nano suit and changed into normal clothes.
“Did you distribute the stealth suits yet?”
“Mhmm. They’re all reliable people.” Ayesha nodded.
“I trust your judgment.” Jiang Chen stood at the window to watch a car leave his garden with a smile.
A heartfelt smile appeared on Ayesha’s mouth. To her, there was nothing happier than receiving recognition from Jiang Chen.
Suddenly, she pulled on Jiang Chen’s sleeve as if she remembered something.
“Hmmm?” Jiang Chen turned around and looked at her.
“The Ghost Agents found a traitor.”
“Who?” Jiang Chen’s pupils contracted as his eyes narrowed.
“Not part of the force…” Ayesha hesitated for a moment before she spoke again: “The significant other of Future Mining’s Manager. Based on investigations, she provided Future Mining’s information to foreigners… Her name is Su Fei.”
