[Comprehensive British and American] How agents solve the single problem

34

Soon it was time to meet the Aurors.

"Harry Potter, an Auror, er, and I'm Sirius Black's godson."

Phoebe blinked.

She looked at the right hand extended by the young man, hesitated for a moment, and then realized that the wizard with glasses and a friendly face was planning to shake hands with her.

No one has asked to shake her hand yet!

It was the first time that Phoebe was treated with friendly equality.Following the wizard's example, she gently shook Harry Potter's hand.

"Hello," Phoebe said, "I also know a Harry, who is Merlin's friend and my mentor."

The young Auror laughed, and Phoebe found that she kind of liked the wizard.

The young man seemed to have been warned by Sirius, and he did not take out his wand in front of Phoebe.He just nodded to Merlin next to him, and then turned to Paddington who was standing at the counter.

"Mr. Paddington," Harry said, "we contacted several famous scholars and professors to analyze the video of the witch's attack at that time. Your body changes are indeed caused by the witch's wrong spell."

"So do you have any research results?" Merlin asked.

Harry Potter shook his head regretfully.

"I'm sorry," he spread his hands. "It's not uncommon for a spell to go wrong, but it can be mistaken for another spell that doesn't exist at all. The chance of this is lower than wishing on a meteor."

"..."

Having won two big prizes in a row, it seems that every member of the Royal Secret Service should buy a lottery ticket. Who knows who will be lucky next.

And Paddington looked disappointed.

Not all small animals are as willing to be a human being as Phoebe. Paddington's delicate face that resembles Q shows a look of bewilderment, and his green eyes droop.

Paddington sighed heavily.

"I'll frighten my aunt," he said sadly. "What shall I do?"

"She'll still love you," Phoebe patted Paddington on the back reassuringly. "No matter what he looks like, Paddington will always be Paddington, won't he?"

"But I'm really not used to it."

Paddington stretched out his human hands and whispered.

"Humans are bald, with so little hair."

Phoebe: "But you're taller than before, and your hands are more dexterous, isn't it great? Merlin doesn't even complain about hair!"

Merlin: "..."

The quartermaster who was shot innocently held his forehead.

"Thank you, sir," he cleared his throat, and changed the subject in a timely manner, "Besides, there is something about disabling phantoms er..."

"Spells that disable the Disapparation Curse," the young Auror Harry nodded, "It's not complicated, where do I need to set it?"

Compared to the liaison officer who was still writing letters with an owl, Merlin felt that Sirius Black's godson was really an outstanding young man.He looked young, but the decisiveness and crispness with which he handled affairs did not look like a novice at all.

Merlin had discussed most of the details with him in the email, now it was just a matter of taking him to the place where the spell was set.

"Please wait a moment." Merlin's eyes fell on Phoebe as he said.

Sensing the man's gaze, Phoebe turned her head tacitly.Only then did Merlin speak: "I'm going back to the manor, Phoebe, do you stay here or come with me?"

Phoebe smiled and said, "I'm going to visit the remaining adoptive homes."

Merlin was taken aback. Phoebe didn't mention this when she went out today.

One must know that according to her past habits, this girl wanted to pour out all her thoughts and plans, as if she was afraid that Merlin would not know.

Logically speaking, it's normal for her to have her plans and not tell Merlin, but Merlin felt that something was weird.

But Merlin had said long ago that Phoebe had to have her own social circle, which was a good thing.

So he just paused: "OK."

Phoebe gently hugged Paddington, who was still a little depressed, and whispered to the young man a few words, and Paddington's face looked much better.

Then Phoebe walked up to Merlin.

She stepped on her toes, and Merlin immediately bent down knowingly, closing the distance between them.

Phoebe stretched out her hand, and her soft fingertips landed on the man's shoulder. It wasn't a real touch, but her cheek was close to Merlin's.The girl gently kissed him on the left cheek.

"I'm off then," Phoebe said. "Merlin has to work hard."

"Be careful on the road."

Phoebe nodded seriously, then left the shop without looking back.

Until sending away the young wizard Harry Potter, Merlin still felt that something was wrong.

Merlin returned to the office, sat in his chair, held a coffee cup and meditated for a while, still clueless.

Forget it, he doesn't remember where he made that girl unhappy again. Instead of thinking alone here, it's better to wait for her to come back. The quartermaster of the Royal Secret Service still has a lot of things to deal with.

Putting the matter behind him, Merlin decided to focus on the matter in front of him.

He first turned on the tracking system on Phoebe's clothes.She said she was visiting other residents who adopted cats, but she wasn't lying, but today's residents were a little farther from the street where they lived, and Phoebe had to take the subway.

Merlin handled the bus and subway passes for her, so it wasn't a big deal.

On the other hand, Eggsy received the task yesterday, and today he went back to the bar street where he used to hang out to inquire about news.

"Merlin." Just after connecting online, Eggsy's brisk voice came from the communication.

"Galahad," Merlin put down his coffee cup, "how's the situation?"

"Easy."

He was standing on the street in front of the Black Prince Bar, wearing glasses, and from Merlin's perspective, he could see the sleeves of the young man's tracksuit—in order to fit in here, Eggsy simply changed into the Adidas he hadn't worn for a long time .

"I've made an appointment with a few old acquaintances, all young people who have been in gangs," he said. "Why are you alone, Phoebe and Paddington together?"

"She's gone."

"Oh," Eggsy replied strangely, "Looks like Phoebe has finally discovered that the outdoors are more interesting than your office."

"Galahad," Merlin warned.

"Okay, okay." If it weren't for the street, Eggsy would have raised his hands in a begging gesture at this time, "A few old friends are here, I have to deal with it, and we will talk about it later."

Eggsy on the other end took the initiative to disconnect the line.

There is no one who needs Merlin's help for the time being, so the man turned his attention to the positioning system.

The system clearly showed Phoebe's route. She had already walked out of the subway station. Merlin stared at her direction for a moment, and then found the file of the nearest adopter.

They are a young couple living in the nearest low-rent housing.It is reasonable to say that the people living here do not meet the needs of adopters, but there are always exceptions to everything, and the rich do not necessarily love small animals more than ordinary citizens.

Phoebe stepped out of the subway station, went through the traffic lights at the intersection, and stopped.

Merlin thought for a while, and turned on the neighborhood surveillance.

The footage from the public surveillance is naturally not as good as that of the Royal Secret Service, but today the weather is fine and the view is good, and Phoebe is right in front of the camera.

Her blonde hair was particularly conspicuous among the crowd. The young girl looked left and right, lingered for a while, then deviated from the planned route and walked in the opposite direction.

Merlin soon discovers that Phoebe's destination is a flower shop.

Thanks to the police station's system, all registered shop surveillance is connected to the Internet. It didn't take much time for Merlin to hack into the police station's network, and easily transferred the surveillance from the street to the inside of the flower shop.

A petite and delicate girl stepped into the store, and was naturally welcomed by the flower shop owner.Phoebe stopped to chat with the young proprietor, and then went off looking for flowers on her own.

Want to bring flowers to visit residents?

He watched her leaning over and sniffing the jasmine flowers at the door, then her little face wrinkled together in disgust.

Merlin: "..."

Jasmine has a strong floral fragrance, and with Phoebe's keen sense of smell, I'm afraid it won't be too much for her.Merlin laughed out loud and shook his head in front of the screen, he also couldn't understand Phoebe's intention.

Phoebe picked and picked, walked from the entrance of the flower shop to the inside of the flower shop, and suddenly stopped as if she had discovered something.

The girl squatted down and pulled out a pot of fresh cat grass from behind the colorful shelf.

Merlin: "..."

Well, he wasn't surprised at all.

The girl on the screen happily took the cat grass to the counter to ask the boss to pay.

After buying cat grass, Phoebe left the flower shop contentedly, and Merlin moved the surveillance to the street again.

She returned to the route to the adopters' house, but as Merlin zoomed out, he also saw another wave of people on the corner of the street.

Thanks to London's monitoring system, Merlin's program recognized the facial features of several men in the crowd at the first time, and immediately marked them with red warnings—they were the thugs beaten by Phoebe a few days ago.

According to the planned route, they will definitely collide with Phoebe head-on.

Merlin couldn't help but rejoice that fortunately he couldn't let go of his heart and took another look.

The quartermaster of the Royal Secret Service naturally has a way to deal with this kind of problem, and he immediately contacted Eggsy who was still on the street.

The positioning shows that he is only one street away from Phoebe.

"Galahad," he began, "how is your situation?"

"They were about half an hour late. Fortunately, the weather is fine today," Eggsy complained, "otherwise it would be torture to wait on the street."

"That's just right."

Merlin glanced at Phoebe's position.

"Phoebe is right next door to you. She is about to meet some gangsters who were confronting in the warehouse. Can you distract them?"

"What? Oh, of course, send me the location."

Attracting attention is nothing more than an easy task for an agent.Merlin shared Phoebe's location with Eggsy, and then the red dot representing Eggsy on the screen quickly walked towards another street.

He was faster than Phoebe, and managed to run into a few gang members at the intersection.

On surveillance cameras, the intersection is full of people coming and going, with Eggsy standing across the street from Phoebe.He seemed to know those thugs, so he walked forward and chatted directly.

"Hi, long time no see."

Eggsy's voice sounded from the communicator, and the young man stopped them pretending to be surprised.

"Eggsy?!"

"Of course it is me."

The red light came on.

Phoebe, who continued to move, should have turned along the intersection and passed Eggsy and several thugs across the street, but when the thugs called out the name of the current Galahad, the girl's pace stopped abruptly.

Damn.

At that moment, Merlin's heart lifted.

The omnipotent Merlin, with his meticulous mind and extremely clever mind, could calculate the precise interception route, but he underestimated Phoebe's quick hearing which was far superior to ordinary people.

In the busy street, across the road, she still heard Eggsy's name.

Phoebe turned her head and followed the voice to look at Eggsy.

At this moment, those thugs also saw Phoebe who stopped, and their expressions changed suddenly.

an hour later.

Eggsy followed Phoebe out of the car with a "he's finished" expression on his face. The latter also looked out of the situation, completely unaware that she just turned around to buy a pot of cat grass, and she even bought a big trouble.

Unexpectedly, Phoebe's hearing was so sensitive, she stopped on the street, and the thugs naturally noticed her.

It just so happened that Eggsy also knew them, so the step of inquiring about the news was saved, because those burly men had already "invited" Eggsy and Phoebe to sit with their boss in an impolite manner.

In fact, Eggsy alone has the ability to knock down all the thugs and drag Phoebe to run away, but this is in a public place, and people come and go without saying anything, such a run will also expose Eggsy's position.

Merlin on the communication side was silent for a moment, struggling to make a compromise decision.

And this decision was that, under the "escort" of several black-clothed thugs, Eggsy took Phoebe to the site of the largest underground gang in London.

Fortunately, it was daytime and there was no one in the nightclub.And Phoebe's outfit didn't match the nightclub's decoration. She walked all the way across the dance floor and bar, followed by several thugs who were eyeing tigers, which made other gangsters feel a little baffled.

The thugs who walked in front pushed open the door of the office and told them to wait inside.

Phoebe was not afraid. Seeing the others leaving, she turned to look at Eggsy. Just as she was about to speak, the young agent immediately made a gesture of silence.

Well, Phoebe shut up.

Not long after, the office door was pushed open again, and Phoebe turned her head to see a man in a suit walk in surrounded by several thugs.

Phoebe: "Huh?"

She widened her eyes and looked at the man carefully for a while.

The man was tall and tall, wearing a close-fitting black suit, his face was full of evil spirits, his black hair was neatly pulled back, and he almost wrote "I am a member of a gangster" on his face.None of this is the point, the point is that Phoebe thinks he looks a bit like Merlin at first glance.

But Merlin was much gentler than him, and less intimidating.

She looked at the man, and the man looked at her.

"Come here," he waved to the thugs beside him, "You think this is the woman who smashed Bobby's head with her bare hands?"

"Yes," the thug nodded, "Archie, that's her!"

Archie: "..."

The girl standing in the middle of the office may be less than 1.6 meters tall. She wears a beige cat-ear cloak, a red pleated skirt, and boots with a pattern of wings on her feet. Her blonde hair hangs down her face in curls. A pot of green cat grass.

This is a little girl who can't even unscrew the bottle cap, and his subordinates said that this girl who walked out of a fairy tale book sent several strong men who were nearly two meters tall to the hospital.

"You fucking—"

Forget it, seeing her clear gray eyes looking at him, Archie was too embarrassed to swear, so he turned to look at Eggsy beside the girl: "Eggsy, what's going on?"

Eggsy breathed a sigh of relief.

He has been on the streets for so long, and he also knows a little about this man in charge.Archie is the second-in-command to gangster Johnny, and he's not unreasonable.

"Archie," Eggsy explained hastily, "this is a misunderstanding!"

"What a misunderstanding," the thug next to Archie answered, "She is the one in the warehouse, even if I turn into ashes, I won't forget—"

The following words came to an abrupt end after Archie gave him a sideways glance.

Ah, it turned out to be for this.

Phoebe suddenly realized, and before Eggsy could continue to speak, she nodded gracefully: "It's me."

Eggsy covered her face in despair.

Archie makes the look if you're ganging up on me.

Really like it.

Phoebe thought it was amazing that Paddington and Q looked alike, but she didn't expect to see a man who looked similar to Merlin.

But in comparison, Phoebe still thinks that Merlin is a bit more handsome, and no one is better than him.

"You know what you're talking about," said Archie, still not convinced, "we're not talking about gardening and cooking tips, girl."

"It was me who injured you in the warehouse a few days ago."

It should be his person, right?Judging from the posture of asking questions, Phoebe has never experienced the scene of being questioned by gangsters, but she has watched many spy movies.

"...Then what is your reason?"

Even the gang members couldn't help but slow down a bit when they faced Phoebe. It's not that Archie treated them differently, but the girl who admitted what she did, with clean eyes and a thin body, looks like a girl in a damn mural. Angel.

No one would believe that this kind of girl is a gangster, and things must be more complicated than it seems on the surface.

"My friend is besieged by your men in a warehouse, and I have to rescue her."

"Phoebe—"

Eggsy got stuck in the middle of her sentence.

Phoebe gave Eggsy a curious look, then realized that it was Merlin who stopped him on the comm.So she continued: "Your people mistakenly thought that she was going to attack your boss."

Archie: "Your name is Phoebe."

"Ah."

"You said your friend wasn't going to hit Johnny."

"Who's Johnny?" Of course Phoebe didn't know any gang boss.

This became more and more unbelievable, Archie frowned: "Where did you come from?"

Eggsy: "Well she's my friend, Archie, you know I recently got a job in Savile Row—"

Archie: "It's none of your business, you go out."

A street gangster and an innocent girl, even a three-year-old knows who to trust.

Eggsy panicked for a moment.

But after all, he is an agent who has saved the world many times. The anxious look just flashed, and then it turned into a kind of appropriate anxiety and apprehension: "Don't make Phoebe cry, Archie, you know Savile There are a lot of tailors in the street who come from famous families."

No matter how powerful the London gang is, they will not provoke high society for a little girl.

After throwing this sentence, Eggsy left the office with several thugs, and there were only Phoebe and Archie left in the room.

The man looked at Phoebe curiously: "You are very courageous, girl."

Phoebe smiled when she heard that, "You look a lot like the man I like."

Archie: "..."

This girl doesn't play by the rules!

Archie was choked by her, and all the words of threats and temptations stuck in his throat for a while.He was silent for a moment, and in the end he just pointed to the desk: "Put down your flowers."

Phoebe: "This is not a flower, this is cat grass, which is used to help cats digest."

He doesn't care what kind of flowers and plants this thing is.This matter became more and more absurd, Archie's face was not very good-looking but he was not easy to attack, so he nodded perfunctorily: "Put it down."

It just so happened that Phoebe's hands were sore all the way holding the flowerpot.

She obediently put the cat grass on the table, and couldn't help rubbing her wrists and waist. She was stared at by several dark-faced strong men just now, and she didn't dare to relax.

There were no thugs now, and Phoebe was no longer vigilant, and she pulled out her chair and sat down without waiting for the man to speak.

"I'm like Eggsy," she said, "from Kingsman Men's, and Harry the manager was my teacher—"

"You think I'd believe a tailor's apprentice would beat my men to a vegetable state with his bare hands," Archie interrupted Phoebe. "Do I look deceptive, little girl?"

"..."

Phoebe shut her mouth immediately.

How should this be, Merlin never said how to answer similar situations.If it is said that they are not as simple as tailors, wouldn't they have exposed the royal agents.

Phoebe didn't quite know why Merlin and the others wanted to keep it a secret, but since they were hiding the truth under the name of a tailor, there must be their reasons.

She thought for a while: "My friends, I think you are related to a series of transnational kidnappings."

Archie: "Who are your friends?"

Phoebe: "MI6."

Anyway, Bond and Roxy are in charge of this case together. It doesn't matter if you say MI6, they will always appear in spy movies!

However, Archie still didn't seem to believe it, but since she said so, she had to keep asking.

"What transnational kidnapping case?"

"Abduction of underage girls from Eastern Europe," Phoebe tried hard to recall the discussion between Merlin and the female agent Ms. Susan, "trafficking to, to various countries, this matter is handled by the CIA, and then they think you are involved."

"We don't do such immoral things," Archie said without thinking.

Well, in fact, he has done a lot of immoral things, but at least he has not been so immoral that there is no limit. Trafficking people, and being an underage girl, Johnny would not do this even if he wanted to be Archie.

However, Phoebe didn't know exactly which force Merlin and the others found was operating.

At this moment, she even regretted not paying more attention to Merlin's work, these things were just because Merlin didn't shy away from her, and Phoebe heard it casually.

"Maybe it's another gang," she said casually. "Didn't my friend unintentionally intervene in your conflict?"

Archie frowned.

His expression sank, and the man thought for a moment.

Phoebe couldn't help shrinking back in the chair, she was really tired, being a lady is so hard.Anyway, there were not many people in the room now, and the girl immediately lay on the back of the chair, her image completely lost.

This resulted in Archie's surprised expression.

Seriously, except for the gang leader Johnny himself, no one dared to be so presumptuous in front of Archie.This girl is really not afraid of him, which made Archie a little interested: "Who did you just say I look like?"

Phoebe: "The man I like."

Archie said "Huh?" inexplicably.

Phoebe shook her feet. "But he's more handsome than you, and he's definitely smarter than you."

The man sneered.

Phoebe: "Can I go?"

"My men say you appeared out of nowhere from the warehouse."

"Of course not, I got in through the ventilation duct."

"..."

This makes sense.

He never expected that there was such a security hole. Who could have imagined that, only a short stature like her could get into the ventilation duct.

She confessed frankly, and spoke extravagantly.I have to say, whether the girl is talking nonsense or putting on airs, Archie is impressed by her casual appearance.

No one would have any ill feelings for a girl like that, though Archie still couldn't figure out how she could beat some strong men with her small size and still not get hurt.

But when you think about it carefully, this incident is absurd, but her attack on the thugs is just a superficial appearance.

Archie thought for a moment.

"Girl," he began tentatively, "make a deal. I'll take you to the warehouse, and you point out where you got in. Then have your friend point out who blew up our car, and we help What do you think of your friend's pursuit of specific clues in the kidnapping case?"

"Okay...uh."

Phoebe almost agreed, but on second thought, she didn't count.

If she is an agent, she can agree to come down for Merlin!Thinking of this, Phoebe was a little discouraged: "Then let me ask my friends, can you give me your phone number?"

Archie laughed out loud.

Even the most daring girl in the nightclub didn't dare to ask for Archie's phone number directly. She looks a little like Johnny in her fearless appearance this day.

The man couldn't help but reached out and touched Phoebe's cheek, his tone was almost joking: "Let Eggsy contact me, and you can take your flowers and leave."

Phoebe: "It's cat grass!"

Archie: "..."

He walks Phoebe out the door himself.Seeing the intact girl, Eggsy breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he knew that Archie should not hurt a girl wearing a cape with cat ears, Eggsy was still afraid of accidents.Thank goodness no, and judging by Archie's face, Phoebe is probably doing well.

It wasn't until he left the gang's territory that Eggsy was completely relieved.

Phoebe didn't wait for him to say, "I've got it!"

Eggsy: "We'll talk about it when we get back."

The current Galahad turned off the communication of the glasses: "Actually, I also think that Archie looks a bit like Merlin."

After he finished speaking, he turned on the communication again, and Merlin would definitely be suspicious if the connection was suddenly disconnected. I hope he didn't notice his little action.

But whether Merlin noticed or not, Phoebe did anyway.

The girl smiled brightly while holding the cat grass: "I like Archie, he treats me better than Merlin!"

Eggsy: "..."

Is it too late for him to turn off the communication now, or is it safer not to go back at all?

From Johnny Boss's nightclub to Savile Row, it takes only four or ten minutes by car.

This meant that Eggsy hadn't figured out what to do yet, and he was already standing in front of the black-faced Merlin.

Strictly speaking, Merlin was actually very calm. He just stood in front of the meeting room door as usual, waiting for them with the tablet he never left. Even the cardigan and glasses remained unchanged.But relying on the years of intuition of the canine youth, Eggsy still felt that something was wrong.

But Phoebe wasn't afraid of Merlin.

She was still the same as before, when she saw Merlin's eyes suddenly brighten up: "Merlin!"

Then happily ran to the man.

Seeing her ruddy face, Merlin's complexion became better. He pointed to the window sill of the stairs with the pen in his hand: "You can put the cat grass on the window sill first."

"it is good."

Only then did Merlin turn his gaze to Eggsy.

The young Galahad broke the silence awkwardly: "Well, I think I can explain this?"

Merlin sighed.

"Come in and say," he said, letting the conference room door open, "Phoebe is coming too."

And the current Arthur Harry Hart has long been waiting for them in the conference room.

Merlin led the two young men in.

Harry didn't wait for Merlin to stand still, and said directly to Phoebe, "You dare to be alone with gangsters, you are too bold, Phoebe."

Phoebe takes it for granted: "I convinced Archie."

At that moment, Eggsy's heart was in his throat—Merlin's purpose was to let him protect Phoebe!In the end, instead of protecting him, he let Phoebe face the second-in-command of the largest local gang in London alone. Without waiting for Harry and Merlin to preach, Eggsy's own sense of guilt almost crushed him to death.

However, Harry just looked at Phoebe politely for a moment, and then the middle-aged gentleman showed a subtle smile.

"You did a good job, Phoebe," he praised without hesitation. "It happened suddenly, but you managed to resolve a conflict and help us establish a cooperative relationship with MI6 and the local gang. It was Merlin who personally went to the battle to negotiate, and it is impossible to do better."

"hey-hey."

Phoebe wasn't surprised at all, she was even a little smug.

I knew that Harry would praise her. Not everyone is like Merlin, who reprimands her even for doing good things... and so on.

She didn't convince Archie by being cute, and Phoebe quickly realized, her eyes widened in surprise: "Why does Harry know that Archie and I are alone?"

Merlin said blankly, "I know where you are, girl."

Phoebe: "Oh."

As for how he got the live news, Phoebe didn't care one bit.Merlin is Merlin, he can do anything.

It saved Phoebe from wasting time explaining why.Of course, Phoebe did not forget to say good things for Eggsy after receiving the compliment. She was very loyal: "Eggsy is also very good."

Harry raised his eyebrows: "It sounds like you are more professional than Galahad."

Phoebe: "I'm already good!"

The current Arthur laughed out loud. He has always admired Phoebe's innate self-confidence. Girls can only win others' trust if they stand upright.

"It happened unexpectedly," Merlin answered, "There is nothing to blame for Gahalad's actions."

Strictly speaking, this was Merlin's mistake. He had no idea that Phoebe's hearing was so good that she could distinguish details in a noisy street.

This reminded Merlin to give Phoebe a test when she had time to see how much better her senses and other abilities were than ordinary people.

Eggsy finally relaxed completely. You must know that he started to write a long draft of the examination on the way.

Now that the writing inspection is omitted, Eggsy immediately regained his spirit: "What should I do next?"

Merlin: "I'll notify MI6."

Harry nodded: "Galahad, the task of contacting the gangsters is entrusted to you, and you must protect Phoebe well then."

Merlin who picked up the tablet paused: "Wait."

He looked up, his face full of disapproval: "I don't think Phoebe shouldn't see gang members anymore."

Phoebe: "But I made a deal with Archie!"

Merlin: "..."

"It's a mess," Merlin said with a frown. "The ventilation pipes are right there. If he really cares about the security holes, he can send someone to search them himself."

"It's a good deal, it's a good deal, it was Merlin who told me to keep my word!"

"It's not necessary to deal with this kind of three religions and nine streams."

"Shut up your jealousy, Merlin," Harry lightly interrupted the dispute between the two, "Now they obviously trust Phoebe more, and it is most convenient for her to come forward."

Merlin: "..."

He opened his mouth, and almost blurted out the words of retort: ​​What kind of jealousy or not, he just felt it was inappropriate out of Phoebe's safety and the success rate of the mission.It's much safer to have a well-trained agent confront gangsters than a girl who couldn't speak English a few months ago, and you'd be crazy to leave it to her.

But in the end, Merlin didn't say anything. He was a qualified logistics officer, and Arthur did what he said.

"If there is no need to repay," Harry looked at Eggsy, "it can be disbanded, and the follow-up plan will still follow Merlin's arrangement."

As he spoke, without waiting for Merlin to react, he stood up first and walked out of the conference room.

Eggsy: "Harry, wait for me!"

What a joke, he didn't want to face Merlin who was holding back his fire.

As a result, only Merlin and Phoebe were left in the conference room.

No one spoke for a moment.

Phoebe thought he was going to keep lecturing himself, but no, Merlin just stared at the tablet blankly, looking like he was reading a document, but his hands didn't move.

"What was agreed upon," Phoebe murmured softly, "How can you break the contract? Merlin is really going too far."

Merlin closed his eyes with a headache.

He sincerely hoped that Phoebe could expand her social circle, but it was definitely not in this direction-to be honest, if Phoebe made an appointment with a young man who adopted a stray cat, Merlin would drive her there himself.But with the second in command of some gang?Merlin would rather ask her out than James Bond.

"Phoebe," he tried his best to explain in a gentle tone, "even if you want to make friends, you have to see the other person's character clearly."

"I've only met them once, how do I know their character?"

"People of good character don't hang out with gangs."

"Eggsy also knows Archie?"

"..."

God was afraid that he still felt that he was too leisurely on weekdays, so he sent Phoebe to his side.

Merlin held his forehead, a little bit unbearable: "At least people with good character will not touch a lady's face when they meet for the first time."

Her eyes widened in shock: "Merlin even knows this?"

What responded to her was only the tight corners of the man's mouth.

Phoebe: Hot!

The girl was puffed up, and her fair cheeks became flushed.Phoebe looked like she wanted to refute something, but in the end she just clenched her fists: "Q is right."

Merlin: "...What did Q say to you?"

Phoebe: "Hmph."

The angry Phoebe made up her mind not to talk to Merlin anymore, but her straight eyes couldn't stop glancing at the man. Her appearance of "I'm so angry that you still don't come to coax me" made Merlin feel uneasy. Lost temper.

He shook his head dumbfounded.

"Okay," Merlin put down the tablet, and he walked up to Phoebe, "Arguing is meaningless."

"It's all Merlin's fault!"

"Well."

Anyway, Harry had already made the decision, and it was fine for her to take a step.

Of course, Merlin still felt that those gangsters must have had bad ideas.

"It was my fault," he reassured, "I was just trying to keep you safe."

If she had heard Merlin's words in the past, Phoebe would definitely take the opportunity to subdue and act like a baby, hugging him endlessly.

But not today.Although the girl still seemed to want to throw herself into Merlin's arms, she held back, and Phoebe just grabbed the hem of the cloak in vain, and then whispered with some disappointment: "I'm getting more and more confused about what Merlin wants. what."

The man sighed.

He leaned over and reached out to stroke Phoebe's cheek.

That's exactly where Archie touched before.

Merlin was still a little upset at the thought of a person who had so much blood and dirt on his hands that he had physical contact with Phoebe.But now is not the time to dwell on this point. He has discovered that the eccentric nature of a cat combined with the rebellious psychology of a human results in more than just doubling.

And Phoebe is so smart, the more you say no, the more she wants to try and see what happens.

So Merlin just slowed down his tone.

"What I want is simple, girl," he said, looking into her
