"Guess!" Faced with Leo's question, Baron Maupassant looked with interest at Leo, whose expression of surprise had not subsided, and seemed to enjoy the fun of frightening others.

Unfortunately, Leo had no interest in playing this guessing game with her or him. He gave her a cold look, ignored her, and returned his gaze to the newspaper in his hand.

However, Baron Maupassant had no intention of letting go of such an interesting person as Leo. She came forward, squeezed Leo's arms with her full arms, deliberately lifted the skirt of her clothes, and said to Leo: "How about you reach in?"

Touch it and you’ll know if it’s true or false!”

Originally, Baron Maupassant just wanted to tease Leo to see if he could make him look embarrassed. But she never imagined that Leo was a person who didn't play by the rules. As soon as she finished speaking, he didn't hesitate.

He directly put his hand in, then pinched it, pulled it out, and said expressionlessly: "It feels good, thank you!"

This time it was Baron Maupassant's turn to be stunned and looked at Leo blankly, as if his whole body was frozen.

At this time, a staff member of the building hurriedly looked for something in the lobby outside the reception room. When he saw Baron de Maupassant, he immediately showed a smile on his face, walked over quickly, saluted to Baron de Maupassant, and said: "Sylvie

Miss Ya, Mr. Speaker has now made time to meet with you."

Baron Maupassant also returned to normal at this time. The expression on his face became very cold. He didn't know whether the redness on his cheeks was caused by embarrassment or anger. He motioned to the staff to lead the way, then stood up and raised his head, as if

A proud peacock walked out of the reception room without paying any attention to Leo during the whole process.

"This is a terrible offence." Leo did not raise his head, looked at the newspaper, and muttered to himself with a wry smile, and then a trace of doubt appeared on his face, and he murmured: "Is she really a woman?

"

This episode did not have any impact on Leo, and he did not take it to heart and continued to read the newspaper in his hand. Not long after, Jason, who looked bored, came back from the exhibition hall and sat next to Leo.

Bored in a daze.

About half an hour later, Anne led Nelson and Catherine downstairs, called Leo and Jason, left the association building, got on the carriage, and ordered to go to the Embassy of the Kingdom of England in Miria.

"How are things going?" Jason couldn't help but ask in the car.

"It went very well!" Catherine said with a smile: "Nielsen's article has been reviewed and will be published in the next issue of the internal journal of the medical association. Once the specific results are seen, it will be promoted to medical associations around the world."

Nielsen was not happy about this incident. Instead, he seemed to feel guilty, and his expression looked a little depressed.

"Now that it has started, the performance must continue. Leo didn't say anything, so why should you feel guilty?" Annie looked at Nelson and warned seriously: "You have to know that you are not alone in this matter now.

It's a matter of fact, you were recommended by me, and you also have Catherine's support. Once you are exposed, both Catherine and I will be implicated by you. You'd better play your role as a battlefield first aid master and don't make any mistakes!"

"I understand." Upon hearing that Catherine would also be affected, Nelson's expression immediately became serious and he nodded.

Jason asked in confusion: "You have said so much, but you still haven't told me how things are going? Are you just suing the Duke?"

Anne said calmly: "The council will convene members to discuss this matter tomorrow, but the problem should not be big, because there are too many intern doctors injured and killed in the Buletyi area this time, more than a hundred, all

He is a quasi-doctor who is about to graduate from the college. The college is very angry. Even if they cannot sue in the name of the medical association, they will submit a complaint to the Mainland Congress in the name of the medical school itself."

Although Anne spoke very calmly, Leo could hear some small clues, that is, the Velen Medical Association and the Velen Medical College seemed to have different opinions on the accusation.

However, for Leo and the others, it didn't matter whether it was a medical association or a medical school. All they had to do was submit the indictment. All they had to do was wave the flag and shout, and provide some ammunition by the way.

After everyone was quiet for a while, Leo suddenly asked Anne: "Ms. Anne, do you know a woman named Sylvia?"

Anne frowned slightly and said, "Sylvia? This name is very common. Many people I know have this name."

"The Sylvia I'm talking about is a very beautiful woman." Leo told him about the appearance and clothing of Baron Maupassant he just saw.

Listening to Leo's description, Annie's face became more and more gloomy, and finally she glared at Leo and said, "How do you know her?"

"I was just sitting there, and she came up to talk to me." Leo hid part of the content. At this moment, he could see that Anne must have known the female Baron Maupassant, and the relationship seemed to be very bad.

Annie cursed fiercely: "That bitch only knows how to flirt with women everywhere," and then warned Leo: "You'd better be careful, she is a black widow. Whenever she eats you, you will be killed."

have no idea."

Perhaps feeling that she had lost her composure, Anne did not speak any more, but turned to look out the window so that no one could see her expression.

Not to mention Leo, even the slow Jason felt the strong resentment emanating from Anne. Everyone said nothing and sat quietly until the carriage stopped at the Embassy of the Kingdom of England.

outside.

Anne led the four people into the embassy. As a director of the medical association, she asked the reception staff to see the ambassador, but she did not tell the staff the identities of Leo and others.

Not long after the ambassador agreed to the interview, Anne only took Nelson, who already had a title and a certain background, to the ambassador's office, while the others stayed in the reception room.

About ten minutes later, several more people who looked like embassy attachés came and took Leo and Jason into a room. They asked them about their identities and unit numbers respectively, and then asked them to tell their stories.

What happened on the battlefield that day was recorded in detail, and the two of them signed their lives, and then they were brought back to the reception room.

At this time, Anne and Nelson had returned to the reception room, but six armed soldiers from the embassy were already guarding the outside of the reception room.

"The next thing should not have much to do with you two. Your status is too low in the eyes of those big shots, and your words are not weighty enough. It is impossible to have any effect. You can only serve as Nelson's foil." Anne

He spoke bluntly, without leaving any face for Leo and Jason, and told Leo and them the current situation in detail, "Nelson will become the leader of the entire accusation, and because of his importance

, the Ambassador of the Kingdom of England needs to protect him specially, and Catherine will stay with him to continue writing the next paper."

"Then there's nothing wrong with us, right?" Jason shrugged and smiled.

"You have a beautiful idea." Anne glared at Jason and said, "Nelson will definitely be well protected and will not give Duke Devin's people a chance to attack, so the two of you will definitely become Duke Devin's.

Target. Although your two statuses are unlikely to play a big role in the prosecution, Duke Devin's people will use your death to warn others, so you will be in more danger than Nelson.

"

"Haha! Just let them come, my baby will come in handy." Jason didn't take the so-called danger to heart at all, and said with a big smile.

"Can Jason and Nelson be together?" Leo thought for a moment and asked Annie. At the same time, he raised his hand to signal Jason to stop talking, and then explained: "Jason's weapon is too heavy and is suitable for use."

When he comes to defend the position, he and Nelson together can also play a role in protecting Nelson. After all, I don't trust the protection of others."

"There should be no problem with this." Annie thought for a moment, nodded and accepted the proposal, and then asked Leo: "What about you? Aren't you going to stay together?"

"No, I have other things to do." Leo thought of the house mentioned by the old man in the villa. He could just take this time to check it out and investigate what the problem was.

Anne felt that it was a waste to just let Leo's aimless actions go, so she thought about it and said: "I will find someone to investigate Duke Devin's control of power in Miria City in these days, and I will reveal the key

Some forces have been marked. If you have a way, try to get rid of them to prevent them from coming out to cause trouble."

"That's no problem." Leo nodded, and then gave some very serious instructions to Jason and Nelson, most of which were related to self-protection in the event of an attack. He also asked Annie to bring the flintlock hand cannon placed in the hospital.

Before going to give it to Jason, try to install a force-bearing bracket on the hand cannon to make it easier for Jason to use it.

After explaining some precautions, Leo left the embassy directly without asking where they would be sent for protection. And just as he was leaving the embassy, ​​he also discovered that he was being followed.

Through the observation of the spiritual network, Leo quickly identified several of them as people from the embassy, ​​while the other group of people were obviously some local forces. Although he had not yet obtained the copy of Devin from Anne,

The Duke controls the list of forces in Miria City, but he has already found a target to attack.

Leo directly boarded the carriage waiting at the entrance of the embassy and told the driver to go to the fish market. He just sat in the carriage, closing his eyes and concentrating, paying no attention to the people following him.

Although Miria City is very prosperous and the people living here are also very wealthy, it is not that there are no slums here. In fact, the slums here are quite large. In terms of area alone, they are definitely the largest urban area in the entire Miria City.

This urban area is located on the bank of the Walla River in the northwest of the city. The Walla River is one of the main tributaries of the Rodland River. The river here is full of shoals, aquatic plants and reefs. It is not suitable as a freight channel, but it is very suitable for fish growth, so here

The fishery is very developed.

When the city of Milia was built in the early days, local fishermen built a small village here to provide fish products to the residents of Milia.

Later, as Miria City gradually prospered, a large number of people who could not survive in the surrounding towns began to flock to Miria City. It was difficult for these people to find jobs in Miria City, which was mainly about politics and business, and naturally they could not

To live in Milia City, they had to move to the edge of Milia City. As a result, the small fishing village very close to Milia City became their first choice.

As the city of Milia grows larger and more prosperous, more and more people come here to look for opportunities to make a fortune. Although you can hear news from time to time that some people have become successful for some reason, more people still

Struggling at the bottom, these people gathered around the small fishing village. The living area expanded little by little, and over time it became the current fish market.

Some city councilors of Milia City believed that the fish market was not part of Milia City and would cause damage to the image of Milia City. They suggested building a city wall along the edge of the city to isolate it from Milia City.

City. But in the end, the proposal fell through due to the obstruction of some people. The councilor who made the proposal also lost his position for some reasons, went bankrupt, and eventually ended up living in the fish market.

Because of this congressman as a precedent, no matter how much the dignitaries in Milia City looked down on the people in the fish market, no one would put forward any proposals against the fish market, lest they get burned.

There are no formal zoning signs before entering the fish market, but locals have a way to 100% tell whether they are in the fish market, which is the houses and roads.

Most of the houses in Milia City are built with masonry and steel frames as the main materials. Even if wood is used as a building material, it is only used as an auxiliary material or decorative material. Houses that truly use wood entirely

rare.

But the fish market is different. Almost all the houses in the fish market are two-story loft-style wooden houses with a layer of plaster on the outside as the walls.

The main reason why these houses use wood as building materials is that the wood does not cost money. When building the house, you only need to find some relatives and friends to bring logging tools, go to the forest outside the city and cut down a few trees, and then you can get it together.

The wood needed to build houses.

In addition, because the land required for the construction of these houses does not need to be applied to the Miriam City Municipal Administration, these houses are built on occupied land and are constantly expanded. As a result, the streets here are not only narrow, but also twisted and deformed.

There was no way the carriage could drive in.

"Sir, if you go in alone, you'd better come out before dark. The security here at night is not good." After getting off the carriage, the coachman kindly reminded Leo.
Chapter completed!
