Chapter 393 Setting up a trap
In the living room.
The gas lamp emits light that is not dazzling, making the whole scene slightly dim, giving it an atmosphere of mystery and tranquility.
Kendall walked in with the two girls and his servant, and immediately saw the young man sitting on the sofa.
The other person relaxed and leaned gently on the sofa. Her long golden-red hair is simply tied into a ponytail, paired with a neatly pressed white shirt and black trousers, giving off an aristocratic temperament.
Being stared at by the young man with his deep purple eyes, Kendal suddenly felt nervous.
"Kendall, the leader of Fosaka's Black Sand Group, has met Foreign Minister Gilan."
The middle-aged man bowed to the young man on the sofa, caressing his chest, and saluted.
The two girls beside him and the servant behind him also saluted the young man.
During this process, Safra quietly looked at the purple-eyed young man with her peripheral vision, and couldn't help but feel that the other person's appearance and temperament were extraordinary.
But the next moment, she realized that the other party seemed to be aware of her gaze and glanced over.
Safra was startled and quickly lowered her eyes, not daring to peep anymore.
"Everyone, please take a seat." Jilan said lightly.
"Yes, sir." Kendall took a deep breath, trying to control himself not to be too nervous, and then led the two girls to sit on the sofa opposite the young man.
“We meet again, Miss Senani.”
Ji Lan smiled slightly and said to the young girl with black hair.
Senani quietly clenched the hem of her clothes.
"It's a pleasure to meet you again, Mr. Gillan... I didn't expect that you are the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Bremen Empire."
"Sorry, it is an important official business after all, train It’s not convenient to disclose it to you.”
Gilandao.
Hearing this, Senani waved her hands quickly.
"I understand, Mr. Gillan."
"As long as you understand." Gillan smiled. He looked at the dark man again and asked: "So Mr. Kendall, why are you looking for me in such a hurry?"
"Lord Gillan, I have always been obsessed with the Bremen Empire. Yearning for it, but due to the fact that the 'Black Sand Group' ranks at the bottom among the nine major groups, its business is also limited to the northern region..."
Kendall said honestly.
"I heard that you plan to recruit three agents in Fosaka to be responsible for selling the empire's unique industrial products, so I want to fight for this place."
"I met you this time through Miss Senani. Taking the opportunity, I take the liberty to invite you to dinner tomorrow night... In addition, I have prepared a small gift."
As he spoke, Kendall gestured to the servant standing behind him, and the servant handed the four. The suitcases were handed into his hands one by one.
Click.
Click.
Kendall opened the suitcase himself, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Gillan.
"These are some of the collections I have collected in the past. I hope Lord Gillan likes them."
"Mr. Kendall, are you bribing me?"
Jilan said calmly.
As soon as these words came out, Kendall's face changed slightly, and cold sweat broke out from his forehead unconsciously.
The atmosphere then became slightly colder.
"No, Mr. Gillan."
At this time, Kendall's daughter Safra quickly came to the rescue and said.
"Senani has grown up with me since she was a child, and her father treats her like a daughter... Hearing that she was lucky enough to meet such a big shot like you, my father was very excited, so he came here overnight and planned to invite you. Let’s have dinner together.”
“These are just gifts, and there is absolutely no agency quota involved.”
"Oh?" Ji Lan chuckled, not exposing the other party's lame reason on the spot. "That's it..."
He glanced at the four suitcases.
It contains neatly stacked vinyl records, video tapes and film reels, as well as some small but exquisite stone carvings, ceramic sculptures, artworks and goldware, as well as framed oil paintings and drama manuscripts.
“The ‘Art Order’ is implemented in the Bremen Empire, and these things are all contraband...”
Gilan shook his head and said with a smile.
"As the foreign minister of the empire, am I going to blatantly violate the law?"
Kendall swallowed, for fear of offending this big shot, so he apologized in a deep voice:
"Sorry, Gilan Sir, I didn't think well, I hope you can forgive me for my carelessness."
"Please choose a few, Mr. Gillan."
Senani hesitated. He spoke.
Gillan was about to refuse.
Colorful light spots suddenly burst out of his peripheral vision.
I saw the colorful handwriting of "Guide Tips" appearing crookedly from an item in the suitcase:
""The Legend of Invincible"."
"Contains The film with miraculous power was created by Si Chen, the "director" who symbolizes February, and tells the legendary story of a warrior."
Jilan's pupils shrank.
"Invincible Legend"? !
Isn’t this the real film that Ms. Crow commissioned him to find in Fosaka?
Jilan had just planned to start with the Nine Groups, but before he had time to take action, the entrusted target came to his door by himself...
He couldn't help but laugh.
It happened suddenly, but it was an unexpected surprise.
"In that case, I will accept these reels of film."
Gilan took out three reels of film from the suitcase, including "The Legend of the Undefeated".
Seeing that he accepted the gift, Kendall looked happy, and even the two girls Safra and Senani were also quite happy.
"Master Jilan, what about tomorrow night's meal..."
Kendall asked tentatively.
Gilan got the entrusted target without any effort. He was in a good mood and did not refuse, so he nodded and said:
"Yes, I will go."
< br>"That's great, thank you very much for your willingness to show your face."
Kendall said quickly.
"Then tomorrow afternoon, I will send someone to pick you up in a special car."
"Okay." Gilan smiled and nodded.
Seeing the smile on his face, the nervousness of everyone present immediately dissipated, and they couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
…
…
After Kendall and his party left the palace.
He first sent his daughter and Senani back to the hotel, and then found a reason to go out.
We walked around in a circle outside and finally returned to the street where the hotel is located. It's just that I walked into another hotel.
Kendall briefly explained his purpose to the front desk attendant, went straight to the second floor, and stopped at the door of a room at the end of the corridor.
Tuk Tuk.
He knocked on the door.
There was no movement inside.
"Mr. McGuire, it's me."
Kendall spoke in a low voice.
After a while, an old voice sounded from the door:
"Come in."
Kendall then twisted the door handle and pushed in.
But he was very cautious throughout his movements and did not make much noise.
After entering the room, he saw a stooped figure in a robe standing by the window, seemingly admiring the street view outside.
“How are things going?”
The old man asked softly without looking back. Kendall smiled and said:
"Although the process was a bit tortuous, the result is good. The man from the empire accepted the gift and agreed to have dinner together tomorrow night."
< br>
"Very good." After pondering for a moment, the old man turned around and said with a smile: "The internal election in the kingdom is about to begin. Due to the death of Mr. Guherero, the consul has been vacant for several months. Cooper The minister is determined to win this position."
"If you can establish a relationship with Foreign Minister Gillan, then you will play a vital role for Minister Cooper."
Hearing this, Kendall laughed.
But then, the old man asked again:
"By the way, this month's management and operation will require another 100,000 'afosa' (the currency of the Kingdom of Fosaka). , equivalent to 3,000 Caesars), can you get it over there?”
Kendall was startled at first, and then looked confused.
"Mr. McGuire, the 'Black Sand Group' has not had good profits recently. I am afraid that it can only provide 50,000 Afosa. This is the result of taking part of the payment..."
Seeing that the old man was a little disappointed, Kendall quickly added:
"But if I can successfully get the agency quota, the situation will definitely get better!"
"Time waits for no one." The old man But he shook his head. "When you have dinner tomorrow night, you should behave well and try to win the favor of that adult... This is more effective than 1 million Afosa!"
"I understand, McGuire Sir."
Kendall nodded in agreement.
The old man hummed and waved his hand.
"Go back."
"Yes."
Kendall bowed to the old man and left the room quietly.
Wait for the door to close with a click.
The old man returned to the window and looked down at Kendall walking away down the street.
His eyes were deep, but he suddenly chuckled and spoke in a young male voice that was completely different from just now:
“A chess piece, a chance to commit murder, a very good deal... …If you die, Fosaka’s game will be alive.”
“Oh, Gilan Iros”
…
…
The next evening.
The two carriages arrived as promised and arrived at the gate of the palace.
Gilan took the female secretary Lenis into a carriage, and the other four bodyguards got into another carriage.
After a while.
The carriage drove to a hotel near the palace.
After Gilan got out of the car, he saw Kendall, his daughter Safra, and Senani waiting at the door early.
"Mr. Gillan, please come this way."
Kendall raised his hand to make a false gesture, keeping his posture very low.
He was wearing a formal dress today, and the two girls beside him were also exquisitely dressed. Although they are all pure Fosaka people with dark complexions, they also have a unique temperament under the attire.
"Yes." Jilan nodded to them and walked over with a smile.
After the group entered the hotel, the waiter took them to a private box on the third floor.
When everyone was seated, Kendall exchanged a few words with the waiter in a low voice, and the latter nodded and left.
"Mr. Gillan, what are your preferences and taboos?"
Kendall asked.
Ji Lan smiled. His female secretary had also asked this question. He turned his head and signaled to Lenis, who looked businesslike and said with a straight face:
"Sir, he likes grilled and fried food, and he has no taboos."
"Okay, got it." Kendall nodded.
In a short while.
Several waiters came with dining carts and filled the table. More than half of the food was fried, grilled, and fried. Obviously, this dinner was all to cater to Gillan's taste.
"I'm determined." Ji Lan smiled.
"You're welcome, sir." Kendall lowered his head and said. He raised his glass again and toasted to Gilan. "It's my honor to meet you."
The two girls also raised their glasses, waiting for the purple-eyed young man's response.
However, the other party was playing with the wine glass and remained silent. A pair of purple eyes lowered, examining the swaying wine in the glass.
“What’s the matter, Lord Gillan?”
Kendall looked confused.
"Don't you like this kind of red wine? I'll ask the waiter to come over and change a batch..."
"No need." Gillan said lightly.
He slowly put down the wine glass, and the colorful entries that could be seen in his eyes still had not dissipated.
Above the wine glass, there is a series of writing written awkwardly:
"Strange red wine."
"It seems to be mixed with 'Dream Sea Lion Spinal Fluid', which is extremely corrosive and only targets the mysterious person's kingdom imprint. It can destroy the mysterious person in a short time "
Through the "guidance prompt", Gillan easily discovered that the wine in the glass contained some kind of mysterious toxin.
This toxin only affects mystics. Ordinary people do not have the brand of the kingdom, so they will be fine if they drink it.
‘This dinner is a “Hongmen Banquet” specially set for me? ’
Ji Lan secretly thought.
He raised his eyes indifferently and observed the expressions of Kendall and the other three. But he found that the other party just looked worried, as if he didn't know what went wrong, which made Ji Lan unhappy.
Jilan thought for a while and took out a brass pocket watch.
This pocket watch is called the "Wandering Pointer". It is a mysterious creation that he spent 1,500 Caesars to exchange for from the fifth-level long-time "Clockmaker" at the "Midnight Rose" party.
It has the function of identifying hypnosis or illusion, and can counter this power, pointing to the general direction of the caster.
Click.
Gilan held the watch with one hand, opened the cover with his thumb, and pointed it at Kendall.
After waiting quietly for a few seconds, under the puzzled gaze of the other party, a citrine pendulum hanging on the pocket watch began to rotate clockwise.
"Huh?" Jilan narrowed his eyes.
Kendall actually had a mysterious power exerted on him and was misled by hypnosis or illusion.
His thumb was on the upper edge of the pocket watch again and pressed the mechanical knob.
Click.
In an instant, the carved pattern on the brass pocket watch shimmered, and the three hands of the hour, minute and second began to rotate at the same time -
Finally they overlapped and pointed in the direction of seven o'clock.
"Sorry, Mr. Kendall, and Miss Safra and Senani, I suddenly remembered that there is still an important urgent matter that has not been completed, so I'm sorry."
After Gilan said that, he stood up directly.
Before Kendall could say anything to persuade him to stay, the purple-eyed young man had already walked out of the box with his female secretary.
Gilan walked along the aisle and said to Lenis:
"I will get off the bus halfway later. You and the bodyguards should not stop and continue back to the palace."
"Sir..." Lenis opened her mouth, finally nodded, and said solemnly: "Yes!"
Although she didn't understand why the commander did this, she chose to execute it unconditionally.
Jilan hummed and strode out of the hotel.
The two of them, together with their bodyguards, got into the carriage and drove straight towards the palace.
In the distance, there is the top floor of a house.
An old man in robe stood quietly, looking into the distance.
"Did you fail?" He murmured, then chuckled and shook his head. "As expected of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Empire, the head of the Second Special Operations Group..."
"Forget it, there will be another chance in the future."
After saying that, the old man turned around and took a step forward, his figure ghostly, Several leaps disappeared.
However, what he didn't see was that the curtain of the carriage that was gradually moving away suddenly raised...
