"Dean, are you going to Old Brown's pastry shop today?" While Anderson Lehman was deep in thought, the adjutant sitting at the back of the carriage leaned down slightly and asked the old man.

This adjutant is also one of Anderson Lehman's students. He has good talents and comes from a noble family. As long as he doesn't make big mistakes, he has a bright future, so Anderson Lehman takes him with him to help him contact the upper class of the navy in advance.

He paved the way in advance.

"Yes, let's go to Old Brown's pastry shop. If Lisa knew that I passed by the pastry shop and didn't buy her any pastries, she would definitely have to talk about it for a while." When Anderson Lehman mentioned his wife, there was a rare expression on his face.

of gentle look.

The carriage drove quickly through the streets, passed through several alleys skillfully, and finally stopped in front of the old Brown's pastry shop, the destination of the trip.

The adjutant jumped down from the back of the carriage, lowered the steps and opened the door.

Anderson Lehman stepped out of the carriage and then ordered: "You wait outside for a while, I have something to talk to Old Brown about."

"Okay, Dean." The adjutant responded respectfully.

Anderson entered the store and was about to walk to the counter as usual, take away the reserved pastry from Old Brown, and tell Old Brown his request for the next pastry, but the situation in the store stopped him.

He stopped and looked around cautiously. His eyes fell on the only customer in the store, and his hands were placed on the special pistol and mechanical repeating crossbow on his waist.

Even though Anderson Lehman is already very senior, he would be considered a retiree in other industries, but his many years of continuous training have made his skills no worse than those young guys, and he can even rely on his many years of rich experience.

Combat experience is even better.

"Who are you? Where did old Brown go?" Anderson Lehman said without any politeness, he took out his weapon and pointed it at the man in the seat.

The man in the store calmly said to Anderson Lehman: "General Lehman, please don't be nervous, I'm not evil..."

However, before he finished speaking, Anderson Lehman had already pulled the trigger in his hand. A huge gunshot and a slight sound of a crossbow rang out almost simultaneously, and sharp arrows and bullets hit the target one after another.

However, the strange thing is that the arrows and bullets did not cause any damage to the opponent at all, but passed directly through the opponent's body.

After discovering this, Anderson Lehman felt bad and instinctively made the most correct decision and quickly exited the pastry shop.

However, just as he exited the pastry shop, he stopped because he found that he was still in the pastry shop, and the street that was supposed to be outside the pastry shop had now become the inside of the pastry shop. The exit and entrance were like a side street.

Mirror-like.

"General Lehman, please sit down, I mean no harm." In both mirror pastry shops, a customer pointed to the seat opposite him and said.

"Damn monster!" Anderson Lehman immediately understood what he was encountering and couldn't help cursing in his heart.

As a high-ranking naval officer, he naturally knows some things that ordinary people in the outside world don't know, about the Familia, about the extraordinary, about the mutants implanted with alien cells, etc. In the eyes of this old-school naval general, these existences cannot be matched by ordinary people even if they have the power.

The power still cannot change the nature of them being a group of monsters.

In the Navy, there is actually a department composed of extraordinary beings. This department was proposed by Hoover Hansen so that the Navy can fight against the same kind of extraordinary beings.

However, this department is not included in the normal establishment of the Navy. It is a privately established establishment. Military expenses need to be provided from the private treasury within the Navy. In addition, extraordinary people are extremely difficult to find. Even if they are found, they are easily robbed by the Special Bureau.

As a result, the framework of this department has never been fully established.

The extraordinary beings who have been incorporated into this department eventually become the personal guards of the navy's top brass, responsible for protecting the navy's top brass from other extraordinary beings.

For example, Hoover Hansen, who was assassinated, had three such extraordinary beings around him, and he also relied on the help of the three extraordinary beings to escape assassinations from the Avengers of the Mosang Continent. It was just his luck this time.

There seems to be no more.

As the former dean of the Naval Academy and chief of naval logistics, Anderson Lehman was originally qualified to have three extraordinary guards. However, he was very distrustful and even disgusted with these extraordinary beings. In addition, he had been with them in the capital forest all year round.

Safety is not a big issue, so I declined this benefit.

However, now he regrets his original decision. If he had agreed to the proposal, he would not be in such a predicament now.

After knowing that he might not be able to leave, Anderson Lehman quickly calmed down and weighed the strengths of himself and the opponent. He realized that if the opponent wanted to kill him, it would be difficult for him to resist the opponent with just the weapons in his hands.

It was a great achievement, so he put the weapon in his hand back on the holster and padlock, and walked to where the man was pointing him undefended and sat down.

"Who are you?" Anderson Lehman asked in a deep voice: "To know my whereabouts so well and to come here to see me, I guess your identity is not ordinary!"

While asking about the person's background, Anderson Lehman also discovered something unusual, such as the person's appearance and age. Although when he saw the person opposite, his first thought was that the person was a man.

But I can't identify what the other person looks like or what grade he is in.

This is not because the other person's appearance is deliberately blocked. In fact, there is nothing blocking the other person's face. He can even clearly see the other person's eyelashes and beard. But the problem is that no matter how he can see the other person's appearance clearly,

He has never been able to remember what he saw and integrate it into a whole in his mind. It is like dreaming. No matter how much you understand the person you see in the dream, you will not be able to remember it when you wake up.

Remember what the person in the dream looks like.

"Director Frank asked me to come here to wait for you," the other party said.

The person sitting opposite Anderson Lehman was actually Leo Dodd. He followed Frank Forson's suggestion and came to Brown's Pastry House to wait for Anderson Lehman to show up. However, he didn't just sit here and wait.

Let the pastry shop owner take a nap for a while, and then set up a magical illusion in the pastry shop. This magical illusion soldier has no lethality, and can only make those who enter the illusion fall into a maze similar to a double-sided mirror world.

As he had expected, Anderson Lehman, an ordinary person, fell into a fantasy and had to sit across from him and talk. However, when Anderson Lehman was trying to find out the origin, an idea came to his mind.

, and modified the original self-introduction speech to expose Frank Forson.

"Director of the Special Bureau, Frank Forson?" Anderson Lehman showed a look of irritation on his face, and soon returned to normal, and said in a deep voice: "Why do you, the Special Bureau, want me to do it, and do it in this way?"

Find me."

"Because this matter is not suitable for others to know, nor is it suitable for others to know." Leo said in a deep voice: "According to our understanding, the Navy has found the murderer of General Hoover Hansen and decided to take action tonight.

Arrest him."

"What? The murderer has been found?" Anderson Lehman couldn't help but be stunned, and then a look of displeasure appeared on his face.

No wonder he was unhappy. He was also a senior member of the Navy, but he didn't even know such important news. Instead, he learned the news from an outsider. The reason for this was simply because of the conflict between him and Hoover Hansen.

, which made the senior navy officials somewhat distrustful of him.

However, he quickly put away his inner emotions, looked at Leo coldly, and said, "It's a good thing that the murderer has been found. At least it can give an explanation to the family of General Hoover Hansen."

Leo deliberately smiled bitterly and said: "It would be nice if things were that simple. In fact, the assassination of General Hoover Hansen not only involved General Hoover Hansen's viciousness in the colony, but also included the internal affairs of the kingdom.

In some political contests, even the Congress and the royal family are involved."

"What did you say?" Anderson Lehman did not hide the shock on his face and stared at Leo.

Leo ignored Anderson Lehman's exposed emotions and recounted the relevant process in an unhurried manner. Hearing this, Anderson Lehman's expression was gloomy and his heart was in a state of turmoil.

Anderson Lehman was not surprised that the person who assassinated Hoover Hansen came from the Moissanite continent and was related to the series of massacres Hoover Hansen carried out in the colonies. Even after getting Hoover Hansen

The moment he heard the news of his death, a story related to revenge emerged in his mind.

However, what he didn't expect was that the assassin turned out to be the lead actor of the spiritual theater troupe.

Because of his wife, Anderson Lehman also attended two performances by the Spiritual Drama Troupe. He also admired the exquisite performance of the petite woman on the stage. Although he was not a loyal theater fan like his wife, he still loved it.

He had already bought the tickets for the theater troupe's performance and even the last performance tonight a few days ago.

But he never imagined that such a little woman could be the murderer of the third most powerful figure in the Navy of the Kingdom of England.

However, what made him even more unexpected was that the royal family and Congress were also involved in the assassination, providing all kinds of help to the assassin in order to kill the naval hero of his kingdom. This was when he listened to Leo's words

Finally, the hardest thing to accept.

Anderson Lehman knew very well that as the kingdom became a maritime hegemon, the navy's military establishment expanded rapidly. In just a few decades, the navy's establishment had been expanded seventeen times, and the total strength was more than ten times that of forty years ago.

.

The rapidly expanding navy has naturally brought rapid expansion of rights to naval generals. Because of these rights, today's top naval officials have more ambitions and hope to obtain more rights, which also include absurd things such as overseas base autonomy.

claims.

This will inevitably lead to conflicts with the royal family and Congress, because most of the rights they seek come from these two. Giving these rights to the navy will definitely weaken the rights of both.

Anderson Lehman is very aware of these dirty things in political power, and he has even participated in the formulation and planning of some plans against certain people in Congress and the royal family.

However, in his opinion, whether it is the Navy, Congress, or the royal family, they will consciously restrain their behavior and always keep their fights hidden in political competitions and will not make them explicit.

But now it seems that he thought too simply. Congress and the royal family have actually targeted the naval generals. This has obviously exceeded the bottom line of political struggle. It is foreseeable that if the situation continues to develop, civil war will inevitably happen.

Appear.

"What do you mean by telling me these things?" Anderson Leo asked with a gloomy face.

Leo threw everything at Frank Fossen and said: "Director Frank means that I hope General that you can use your own prestige to prevent the Navy from arresting the assassin."

"What? How dare you make such a request to me?" Anderson Lehman shouted extremely angrily: "She assassinated a naval hero of the Kingdom..."

Leo interjected: "But he is also your enemy, isn't he?"

Anderson Lehman said without hesitation: "Even if it is my enemy, it is an internal matter of our navy, and it is our private matter. The royal family and Congress would find killers to assassinate the heroes of the kingdom. This is really too much!

Today they can assassinate Hoover Hanson, a man who has made great contributions to the country, for their own rights, and tomorrow they will certainly be able to assassinate other naval generals for some benefit!"

After the other party finished speaking, Leo emphasized: "The director does not want to prevent the navy from holding the royal family and Congress accountable. The director just does not want the navy to arrest the assassin."

"What's the difference?" Anderson Lehman looked at the other person in confusion.

"Let me put it this way!" Leo organized his speech a little and explained: "In order to calm down the anger of the current navy, the royal family and Congress sold their collaborator, the assassin, to the navy and let the navy handle it on its own.

That assassin."

"Despicable!" Anderson Lehman couldn't stand this kind of betrayal and couldn't help but curse.

Leo smiled and did not respond, but continued: "It's just that the royal family and Congress didn't know that the assassin they betrayed had a prehistoric civilization weapon in his hands, and that weapon could easily destroy Durin City.

Destroy it and kill everyone in Dulin City instantly."

When Anderson Lehman heard this, he couldn't help but sneer and said with a sneer: "Are you kidding me? Do you think I would believe such a ridiculous thing?"
