The monk of the way of beauty

Chapter 721 Missing

"You mean your brother is missing?" Ling Xiao frowned, and at the same time asked a little puzzled: "Could it be that he went out to perform some secret mission, so he blocked his communication, and the Knights of the Round Table As for the regiment, didn't you ask them?"

"Because Brian and I were not liked by our parents since we were young, we have a deep relationship, especially after our parents got into a car accident, we often talk on the phone. If we go out to perform tasks, Brian will also say hello to me, Let me not worry." Elizabeth said full of worry: "But I just talked to Brian on the phone a few days ago, and he didn't mention doing tasks or anything, but last night, his phone couldn't get through. "

Speaking of which, Elizabeth paused for a moment, and then continued: "The phone didn't get through, and I didn't realize anything at first, but last night, Brian's phone still couldn't get through, and I couldn't help feeling a little anxious , I went directly to Windsor Castle this morning, but the people there told us that they hadn’t heard from Brian for three days in a row, maybe he was performing some secret mission.”

Ling Xiao nodded, and said: "He's right, maybe some mission is urgent, and it's normal for your brother to have no time to call you."

"That's not the case." Elizabeth took a deep breath and said to Ling Xiao: "In fact, there is one thing that few people know. Although Brian and I are brothers and sisters, we are actually twins, and we have a certain telepathy between us. Can feel that Brian is in danger right now."

Ling Xiao couldn't help frowning, and couldn't help asking: "Didn't you tell the knights of the Round Table about this?"

"No!" Elizabeth said with a wry smile: "In my capacity, I can't see the senior management of the Knights of the Round Table at all. Brian is already my direct superior, and according to the information I have collected, the Knights of the Round Table It seems that they are also in some trouble, and there is no way to spare people."

"Oh, there is such a thing?" Ling Xiao couldn't help being surprised. Although he had only seen Brian Braddock in the entire Knights of the Round Table, this guy's strength is definitely not He is weak, but he still ranks last in the Knights of the Round Table, which means that there are many people in the Knights of the Round Table who are stronger than him, and some are even S-level strong.

But it is such a powerful group, there are still people or things that can hold them back, which shows that the troubles encountered by the Knights of the Round Table are definitely not small.But he didn't communicate with him, so Ling Xiao naturally didn't need to ask about his secrets.

Gently knocking on the table, Ling Xiao looked at Elizabeth and asked with a serious face: "Elizabeth, as far as I know, your strength is not weak. Didn't you conduct an investigation yourself? What's the result of the investigation?"

Hearing what Ling Xiao said, Elizabeth couldn't help being startled, looked at Ling Xiao in surprise, and said, "So you already know!"

"I have a good relationship with Professor Charles and the X-Men." Ling Xiao glanced at Elizabeth and continued: "And I'm also a mutant, so it's not surprising to notice the existence of another mutant."

That's right, Elizabeth Braddock is a mutant, as is her brother Brian Braddock, and I believe that's why he was able to become a Knight of the Round Table Tristan.After Brian Braddock disappeared, Elizabeth had no reason not to investigate, but she found it anyway, which shows that something happened that she couldn't cope with.

"That's right, I did conduct an investigation." Elizabeth nodded, and continued: "After I joined Siwei Technology, Brian stopped me from intervening in the internal affairs of the Knights of the Round Table. But I am still Brian's Attendant knight, through some previous connections, I found some things that Brian was investigating, and these things involved some very troublesome tasks, so I had to ask you for help."

Sure enough, Ling Xiao sighed, nodded, and said, "Okay, tell me, who are they?"

"At the Fire Club in London, someone saw a beautiful woman who could keep changing her face." Elizabeth took out a file from her briefcase and handed it to Ling Xiao.

There are a few blurry photos mixed in the file. The people in the photos are wearing the same clothes, at the same place and at the same time, but their faces are different. Ling Xiao couldn't help frowning, suspicious Said: "Riwen?"

"According to Brian's analysis, he suspects that this person is Mystique." Elizabeth nodded and continued: "So otherwise, the investigation was launched immediately, and soon he found another person in Germany, Torrent When he was following the torrent, he was discovered by the red tank. After a fierce battle, Bryan escaped smoothly, but because of this, the clue was broken."

Hearing what Elizabeth said, Ling Xiao looked very solemn. He looked at Elizabeth and said, "Mystique, Torrent, Red Tank, Isa, you should understand what this means. If everything is true, then the situation It's very serious."

"I understand." Elizabeth nodded seriously, and said, "Mystique, Riptide and Red Tank are all the most powerful assistants around Magneto, and the three of them appeared in Europe almost at the same time, which means that Magneto will In Europe, and not far away."

"It's good that you know it in your heart." Ling Xiao glanced at Elizabeth, looked away, and fell on a few photos in his hand. After pondering for a moment, he said to Elizabeth: "Since the matter is related to Eric, I need to contact him first. A few phone calls and then we'll move on, okay?"

Elizabeth has no objection to this. On the one hand, she came to Ling Xiao because he is strong enough, and on the other hand, because he has a very good relationship with the X-Men. Since the matter is related to Magneto, then contact the X-Men and Charles Professor is also inevitable.

Half an hour later, Ling Xiao hung up the phone, looked up at Elizabeth and said, "Let's go, Isa, I'll take you to a place."

After finishing speaking, Ling Xiao stood up directly, went back to the room and changed into a blue and black suit, and then walked outside with Elizabeth.

At this moment, Ling Xiao saw Katherine Heigl waiting outside the villa, Ling Xiao waved to her, called her over, looked at the stack of documents in her arms, and frowned , asked, "Is there anything urgent?"

"Hmm!" Looking at Ling Xiao and Elizabeth who were about to go out, Katherine Heigl said with a wry smile: "Here are some urgent documents that need to be signed by both of you at the same time. I think Elizabeth is here too, so By the way, I want her to sign it, so that the document doesn't have to be sent to London. But now that you two have something to do, let's put this one away first."

"What document?" Elizabeth reached out and took a document from Katherine Heigl. The first one on the head was the last month's salary statement sent by the finance department, and it will arrive at the company last month in two days. It's time to pay the employees' wages; there is a second copy, the second is the purchase list sent by the company's production department, which must also be signed by her, and then transferred to the purchasing department. These documents are very urgent, and one cannot be handled properly. , there will be big trouble.

The issue of procurement is nothing more than a delay in the company's own production, but she must review the payroll as soon as possible. If the salary payment of employees this month is delayed, once the union breaks out, it will not be closed for a few days. problem.

But the problem now is that she doesn't have so much free time to deal with these matters carefully, and her personality doesn't allow her to sign casually.

Seeing the embarrassment on Elizabeth's face, Ling Xiao immediately understood that the matter had reached the point where it had to be dealt with. He glanced at Katherine Heigl lightly, and then said lightly: "Okay then, get on the plane first, you are here Let's deal with these things on the plane."

After finishing speaking, Ling Xiao took the lead to step into the butterfly plane, Elizabeth followed closely with the documents, and finally Katherine Heigl came up with a calm face but a bitter heart , at this time, she would rather Ling Xiao drop her and not let her follow.
