Chapter 440: The Emerald Thieves' First General Meeting
Li Daoxian said nothing.
Fernando looked into Li Daoxian's eyes and said, "The reason I said this is to tell you that although there may be some twists and turns in the process, I think the result is right."
"Once you sign the contract, you are already one of us."
"Compared to the original Sinclair, it will be more comfortable to get along with you. Your talent and ability are far superior to his. That's enough. I said that the purpose of our organization is to enable everyone to reach a higher level, and now it seems that you are the most suitable candidate."
"I will not delve into your identity. No matter where you come from, we are all companions in this endeavor. That is enough."
Li Daoxian was silent for a moment, his eyes flickering, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
When he first joined the Emerald Thieves, he had thought about going undercover here, wanting to wipe out this organization that had always been provoking the Security Investigation Department.
However, as the content of the contract was very different from what he had imagined, although the members practiced equal exchange during their interactions, Li Daoxian was deeply impressed by the unreserved sharing during the exchange.
And another thing is that during his time with the Emerald Thieves, he was indeed freer than when he was in the Security Investigation Bureau.
Li Daoxian laughed and said, "Of course, we will always be partners together."
As these words came out, Fernando and Li Daoxian looked at each other and laughed.
They all knew that a potential risk of erupting in the future had now been completely eliminated.
The Great Killer also said at this time: "What should I call you now?"
Li Daoxian said: "It's better to call me Sinclair."
The Great Killer said, "Sinclair, you were trying to erase our memories just now, right?"
Li Daoxian was not embarrassed and said with a smile: "It's just for self-protection. This is also normal. Now that our misunderstanding has been resolved, of course it is not necessary."
Fernando also said: "Well, let's leave here as soon as possible and then find Cyrus to find out what happened. Visser's death is definitely not a small matter. It is likely to intensify the conflicts between organizations with different positions within the Wizarding Association."
……
Wizarding Association.
Teleportation hall, special room.
Members of the Disaster Warning Bureau have already set up a tight net and are constantly improving the traps, waiting for the "murderers" to be teleported back according to the predetermined plan so that they can catch them all in one fell swoop.
However, the flames in the portal kept flickering, and the murderers who were supposed to be teleported out had not yet appeared.
The director of the Disaster Warning Bureau also looked serious.
If the flames of the portal had not been able to faintly outline human figures, indicating that they were still on the transmission link, they would have suspected that there was some problem with the transmission.
The director of the Supervisory Office smiled and said, "What's wrong? Is there a problem? The director who was so confident just now seems to be frowning."
The director of the Disaster Warning Bureau snorted coldly and said, "They must have discovered the arrangement and are trying their best to delay time. However, this is useless. With the transmission parameters locked and the coordinates cleared, they have nowhere else to go."
"And the longer they delay, the more prepared we will be. The result will not change. Instead of worrying about us, you should worry about how to explain your own dereliction of duty. You actually let the Emerald Thieves sneak in right under your nose."
The Director of the Inspectorate also snorted coldly.
The other party's words accurately hit his sore spot.
Although the director of the Disaster Warning Bureau succeeded in shutting up the director next to him, he also became a little uncertain in his heart.
If the other party discovered his arrangement, he should know that he was definitely perfecting the trap and that his delay was totally unnecessary.
Could it be that these three murderers have other means of escape?
Impossible. The teleportation links are built in deep space gaps, which are beyond the reach of ordinary teleportation props. Once out of the teleportation link, there is no chance of survival. There is no way they don't know this.
Thinking of this, the director of the Disaster Warning Bureau immediately said in a deep voice: "Go and check their transmission status."
The agent next to the portal felt the transmission status and found that the transmission was normal and the transmission system was running without any obvious abnormalities.
Just as he was about to report, he suddenly discovered that the mark used to locate the progress of the transmission did not seem to move.
Could it be that there was a space-time turbulence and the transmission link went dormant? What a coincidence?
The investigator thought for a moment, then turned around and reported: "The portal shows no abnormalities, but the transmission progress has paused. There is no progress."
The director of the Disaster Warning Bureau frowned when he heard this. His instinct told him that the scheduled time had been delayed for a long time, so there must have been a problem in some link.
At this moment, I heard the investigator's cry: "The transmission personnel are gone."
The director of the Disaster Warning Bureau looked up suddenly, just in time to see the flame of transmission slowly go out, the magical aura gradually dimming, and returning to its calm, deep, inward-spinning appearance.
The director of the Disaster Warning Bureau couldn't believe that someone could actually be disconnected from the transmission link.
That is the deep layer of the space rift, not the shallow layer that is accessible by ordinary teleportation magic such as flicker and flash. If you leave the teleportation link there, there is only a dead end.
The Director of the Inspectorate standing nearby tried hard to hold back his laughter. After all, such a big thing had happened here and he had to be careful about managing his expression. However, the guy next to him had been mocking him, which really made him unhappy.
Now seeing that the people around me also got nothing, I immediately laughed in my heart - although I am unlucky, you are not much better than me.
So he stood aside without saying anything, just sighing "tsk tsk tsk tsk".
This sound made the director of the Disaster Warning Bureau feel annoyed.
At this moment, the president of the Wizard Association looked terribly gloomy and asked, "Where is the murderer?"
The director of the Disaster Warning Bureau quickly explained: "The other party has already disconnected from the transmission link. I'm afraid he has committed suicide. President, if the members of the Emerald Demon Thieves would rather die than keep the secret, I'm afraid there must be something fishy going on."
The president glanced at him, and his meaning was very clear.
Then the president looked at the director of the Inspectorate.
The director immediately lowered his head, and the corners of his mouth, which were originally raised, quickly shrunk.
The president of the Wizard Association said, "I didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the Security Investigation Department, but now a serious assassination has occurred. No matter what means you use, you must find out the truth and find the murderer as soon as possible. Report the whole incident to me."
He paused, then continued, "Since it has been confirmed that the Jade Demon Thieves did it, and the perpetrators are already dead, then report it as if they were shot dead on the spot. This incident is inevitably related to the Jade Demon Thieves, and the wanted reward should be adjusted as soon as possible."
The Director of the Inspection Office and the Director of the Disaster Investigation Bureau answered almost at the same time: "Yes..."
……
Abisovor, the headquarters building of the Emerald Thieves.
Top floor meeting room.
The door to the conference room opened with a bang.
Fernando, Li Daoxian and the Great Killer walked in one after another. In the conference room, the official members of the Emerald Thieves had already arrived, and they were the last to arrive.
When they walked in, the people inside were sitting at the conference table, each in a different posture, looking towards the door at the same time, sizing them up.
Li Daoxian was also looking at them.
Cyrus the Emerald Shadow sat at the head of the conference table.
On his left and right sides, there were five chairs on each side, for a total of ten seats.
Cyrus' left hand side.
The first chair, where Celine the "Fraudster" was half-leaning, her slender white legs elegantly crossed, her long black hair always tied into a loose bun, a few strands of hair hanging casually in front of her forehead, a pair of ice-blue eyes looking at the person who came in.
He is also a member of the so-called inner circle, a fairly stable member of the organization.
The second chair is empty.
The third chair was also empty.
"Berserker" Gurram was not sitting on the chair. When the door opened, he was walking back and forth impatiently, with sharp eyes and a strong body like a small mountain.
The "poison curser" Leon's eyes were wide open, with abnormal black lines in his eyes. The robe on his body was dark in color, and the whole person looked a little weird.
Andre the Fire-Eater sat restlessly in a chair, playing with a small flame between his fingers, carelessly letting the flame dance back and forth between his fingers.
On Cyrus' right hand side, the first person was the "illusionist" Cotier. Cotier looked unremarkable, wearing a plain grey robe with almost no decorative embellishments. His facial features were soft and he had a faint smile on his face. When he saw several people coming in, he nodded slightly.
However, Li Daoxian noticed that the other party's aura was obscure, and the color of his eyes seemed to change at any time as he observed.
This is also a fairly stable member of the Emerald Thieves.
Not to be underestimated.
The second one is an empty chair.
The third person on the right is a petite girl, "pharmacist" Irene.
When she entered the door, she was reading a thick book. She raised her head and met Li Daoxian's eyes.
Her skin was fair and she looked a little tired, but her eyes were clear. She was not wearing a common robe, but a special pharmacist's work clothes. Her waist was hung with various small bottles and potions. This kind of clothes was more often worn by workers in potion workshops.
The fourth position was held by the "mechanic" Gareth, a short and stocky man with a broad build and mottled skin from mechanical oil and metal scratches. He did not look up until Li Daoxian came in. He had been tinkering with a small device with his head down, his eyes fixed intently on the device in his hand.
Position five is also empty.
Li Daoxian had only seen the appearance of these members through the organization's internal information before, and this was the first time he saw them in person.
Looking at the empty seats reserved on the conference table, it was obvious that the seats for Li Daoxian and the other two had been reserved.
Fernando took the second position on the right.
Li Daoxian sat down at seat number five on the right.
There were two empty chairs between Celine and Andre. The Big Killer walked to chair number two next to Celine and sat down, and Gurram also sat in chair number three.
As soon as she sat down, Celine smiled and said softly, "I heard that you messed up the mission?"
The Great Killer opened his hand, and a drop of blood gathered on his fingertips. He said, "You must have screwed up. You were supposed to steal the other party's plan quietly, but you succeeded in stealing Visser's life. You can see that when a body appeared directly at the portal, the contrast between the expected silence and the shock of the whole audience was really great."
Celine chuckled. "That sounds pretty interesting."
Just as she was about to take the blood crystal and take a look at the scene at that time, Cyrus said from the main seat: "Good evening, everyone."
After Cyrus finished speaking, everyone stopped what they were doing.
Irene put away the heavy books, and Gareth put away the small parts in front of him. Everyone turned their eyes to Cyrus, waiting for his subsequent words.
Cyrus cleared his throat and said calmly, "This is the first meeting after our members have reorganized. As you can see, our team has returned to eleven people, which is good."
“Due to some unexpected and unpleasant factors, the meeting originally planned after the collective action had to be moved forward. I had originally envisioned that through a simple team-building activity, everyone could increase their understanding in a relaxed atmosphere.”
"However, there were some minor incidents during the team-building process."
He tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and images of the mission target and his death appeared on the conference table, along with follow-up reports from various news media.
"The target of our mission has been eliminated first. What's more troublesome is that the Wizard Association and all major media have regarded our Emerald Thieves as the main suspects in the assassination case."
Cyrus said categorically: "Although our reputation has been greatly enhanced as a result, this stigma does us no good. We always stand for justice and will never allow such false accusations to fall upon us."
"Therefore...our team-building plan will be adjusted - to find the real murderer."
It might sound funny that a criminal organization keeps talking about justice, but everyone present is serious.
Because they are indeed acting in accordance with justice.
Cyrus looked at Celine on his left:
"Celine, please report the situation on your side now."
Selina nodded and said in a clear voice: "Cotier and I acted together. We controlled the personnel who assisted in the transmission. We checked his memory afterwards and it is certain that the scheduled beacon and Visser were transmitted at the same time. And Visser's vital signs were normal at the time."
As she spoke, she projected the verified records onto the conference table in front of everyone.
The memory has not been modified and clearly records what happened.
