Bai Jiateng's reappearance

  In just one month, after Easy Dust crazily poured money into the construction site of that security company, all major buildings were completed. The construction workers took only a day and a half to withdraw and clean up these main buildings, while the interior decoration workers followed in their footsteps and entered these buildings.

  The construction machinery started rumbling on the comprehensive training ground, which occupied half of the company's area. A group of gardening workers began to plant a row of cypress trees that could be hugged by one person between the main building and the comprehensive training ground. This type of tree was also personally selected by Yi Dun, who still remembered the cypress forest on the back mountain of Mount Emei, where three or four people could hug the trunks together. Such large trees couldn't be found in the UK, so they had to settle for some smaller ones that were better than nothing.

  Cain took a group of people to the airport, passing through seven checkpoints along the way. The British government, still reeling from the bombing incident, had set up checkpoints everywhere and deployed large numbers of reserve soldiers inside.

  Kane and his thirteen men stood like thirteen small hills at the airport exit, in the distance, a row of black cars slowly drove over, M and some high-ranking officials from the intelligence agency also came to pick them up.

  A large group of special agents quickly walked past Cain and his men, almost everyone gave them a stern look. They stood in a row, basically blocking the entire front door. These special agents were very dissatisfied with Cain's arrogance, but looking at their big arms and fists, as well as their average height of over two meters, they wisely bit their tongues and didn't make a sound. The boss was watching from behind, why bother to provoke trouble?

  M walked over surrounded by a group of high-ranking officials, and her eyes immediately fell on Cain and the others. She slightly furrowed her brow and asked in a low voice, "Where did these thirteen soldiers come from? What are they doing here?"

  "David was taken aback: 'Boss, soldier?'"

  M nodded and pointed at Cain and the others: "Yes, soldiers, they are all soldiers. What about our people?"

  Another director shook his head and whispered: "I don't know, who knows them?"

  A group of people passed by Cain, M looked at Cain with a bit of curiosity, while David's eyes almost popped out. M noticed David's unnatural expression and asked in a low voice: "Mr. David, do you know them?"

  David dryly said: "Yes, that Chinese person's subordinate, is called Cain... Judging from their facial features, they should be Germans."

  Before M could ask again, the group of twenty-seven people walked out of the airport in unison. Each person was a giant, with cold gazes and huge canvas bags slung over their arms. M's eyes were fixed on the synchronized footsteps of the twenty-seven people, before suddenly turning to look at Cain.

  Kane walked up slowly and instinctively gave a military salute to the big man in front of him: "Major General Strutgarten, welcome."

  Sternberg and the others returned a military salute, gazing at Cain with reverent eyes, shouting loudly: "Colonel Kane, good day."

  Her hand instinctively went to her waist, but she quickly realized she hadn't carried a gun in a long time. She bit her lip and whispered, "Find out what this batch of German soldiers is doing in England... Is Germany invading England? How ridiculous! Why are they here? Why didn't you have any information?"

  Kane and the others gave M a cold, hard stare, making David's whole body shudder. M was from the military, so he was naturally familiar with such gazes, which only soldiers who had returned from hell would possess. She also didn't have the mind to welcome that noble guest anymore, now the most important task was to investigate what this group of Germans wanted to do.

  Cain and Strüngmann walked past them in front of M, Cain asked in a low voice in German: "How many more can make it?"

  Sternberg glanced around at the British agents with a hint of arrogance: "Colonel, behind us are the third, fifth and sixth squads, two hundred and seventy-five brothers who are coming over. Colonel, they're thrilled to be under your command, you're the best among us."

  M's head buzzed and swelled, three hundred and two German soldiers, listening to the organization should be a small-scale unit, then it is a special forces unit. Three hundred and two special forces soldiers, what do they want to do?

  David watched as Cain and the others walked away before quietly reporting, "Boss, that Chinese man Yi Chen has registered a security company which has already been approved... These people are probably former comrades-in-arms recruited by Cain as employees of the security company. That's right, Cain used to be the commander of the 'Black Magic' special forces unit and had nearly forty subordinates who were all soldiers in the 'Black Magic' troops."

  A group of senior agents immediately made a loud noise, talking incessantly with seven mouths and eight tongues. They all knew that the German military had been pursuing the "Black Magic" troops for more than four years, but they didn't even get a single hair.

  She strode back to the motorcade, shouting at the top of her lungs: "David, you son of a bitch! Why didn't you report this important information to me earlier? Who approved that Chinese guy's security company? God damn it, great Pope, damn you all, you bunch of idiots." It was unclear whether she was cursing her subordinates or the Vatican.

  David and others hurriedly caught up: "Boss, aren't you going to receive that guest?"

  M said angrily: "Him? Not taking it, you bunch of bastards listen up, find out the news from Germany, their special forces soldiers were all taken by Kane to England as security guards, don't they have any reaction at all?... I want everything's cause and effect, get it clear for me... Do you know? These bastards can flatten half of London in an hour."

  Schtreng looked curiously at the distant M as they swarmed onto the cars and drove away, smiling and asking: "Colonel, what are they doing?"

  Kane quietly started the car, 'whooshed' far away, and chuckled: "They have some trouble with our boss, but it's okay, we don't have any reason to be afraid of anyone."

  The soldiers inside shouted: "We are the best... yeah."

  After the Pope stayed in London for a month, a massive mass was held, with more than two million most enthusiastic believers pouring in from all over the world, making the London police and special services tense for a long time. However, under the presence of one Pope, thirteen cardinals, eleven holy knights, thirty-six sacristans, and countless high-ranking clergy, the Dark Council wisely tucked its tail away.

  The Pope having come to certain arrangements with the British Government and Royalty, returned to the Vatican accompanied by his entourage.

  Just in the three days of Mass, batches of German soldiers came to London with high morale and gathered under Cain's flag. By the time M turned their attention back, Cain had already started his daily training.

  Through the Ministry of Defense, M made contact with the German military. The German military initially flatly denied the incident until M showed them a large number of photos and video tapes, at which point they reluctantly sighed: "Another massive defection... God... Cain is a thorough devil. God bless that they are in London rather than Munich."

  Looking at the Germans' gloating eyes, M was about to go crazy. A Chinese general shouted at a German general: "Can't you manage your own soldiers? They actually defected so easily?"

  "General, do you want to know about Cain's history? Do you want to know his military achievements? Do you want to know that he was considered a god on the battlefield in our special forces? Alright, I can grant you access to these top-secret files... He is a thorough devil... I'm sure of it. Those damned soldiers, strictly speaking, cannot be called deserters, they were near retirement age, but they left the army in all sorts of irregular ways... God save England, let's hope they don't cause too much damage."

  Everyone looked at each other in dismay, unable to utter a single word.

  This somewhat irresponsible German general smiled: "However, gentlemen, oh, and ladies, everyone can rest assured that our soldiers are the most disciplined in the world, they won't get out of hand... Don't mention to me the term 'Black Magic' special forces, there is no information about them in our military files... That's all."

  Looking at him coldly, she said: "Their current boss is the biggest gang leader in London..."

  The general's face stiffened for a moment, then relaxed: "It has nothing to do with us, yes, gentlemen, it has nothing to do with us... We don't want to risk losing several thousand soldiers looking for trouble with them, that's all... God help you if they haven't committed any crime, and you'd better not provoke them."

  "Coldly, he said: 'I want Kain's detailed information.'"

  The general nodded and said, "Alright, actually it's better not to look at his file... We forced the judges who tried him to dictate a record of these already destroyed files. It's best if you don't see them, or else it will cause great psychological pressure... If you must have it, then I remind you all that Colonel Cain's most glorious achievement was single-handedly defeating 982 special forces soldiers from our elite Special Warfare Unit... in two hours, with his fists."

  The British stiffened, and the general's eyes gleamed with that absolute schadenfreude again. M couldn't help but want to pull out the pistol from the guard beside him, making him shut up once and for all.

  Yi Chen stood in a corner of the closed training ground, looking at more than 300 former special forces soldiers standing in a neat square formation. Kain slightly raised his head, and the German's pride was evident.

  "Brothers, we were once warriors, but now we've all left our units... We 'Black Dogs', due to the incompetence of those above us, and the black pot on my back, have been discharged from the Federal Army... That's our responsibility, we don't complain. But I'm grateful, grateful for your trust in me, grateful that you came to London to follow my command... I, Kain, am a fool, I don't have much to say, but I can guarantee one thing: 'We will become the strongest company in the world, our name will make the regular armies of the world tremble with fear.' That's it."

  Yi Chen slowly walked to the front of the formation, looking at everyone except the "Black Magic" troops with a bit of amusement. The other soldiers uniformly lifted their heads.

  Yi Chen didn't waste any words, and with one punch, the floorboards shattered, hundreds of large cracks spreading rapidly from his fist for over a dozen meters, the concrete floor bursting apart with a loud crash.

  Yi Chen looked at the arrogant soldiers with satisfaction, who were shocked and showed him respectful eyes. He nodded and said: "Everyone saw that I and Cain are not ordinary people, we all have a little bit of non-human power... Haha, no nonsense, welcome everyone to Black Magic Security Company... In short, we make money together, spend money together, this is the most realistic thing, it's just like that."

  Yi Chen's speech made a very good impression on these proud soldiers. To them, Yi Chen may not be comparable to Kayne yet, but he is at least a boss with some weight and worthy of respect.

  Yi Chen suddenly burst out laughing strangely, pointing at Sally and saying: "She, Sally, will be training with you all, perhaps, you all need to learn something from her."

  Sally stepped forward a few steps, and the soldiers present couldn't help but reveal their disdainful expressions.

  Yi Chen smiled slyly and said to Cain: "Shterogen will be your deputy, Sally is too... I want to buy another piece of land, make it as similar to the original South American forest as possible, let these German kids try the taste of the swamp in the original forest. Cain... if I don't call you, you and Sally don't need to go back to the old nest, take a good look at this place."

  Yi Chen turned around and walked towards the gate, suddenly instructing Phil: "Get me about twenty giant pythons from the zoo and put them in that forest... I think Cain and the others will like it."

  Cain nodded calmly, to him, there was no difference between a hundred giant pythons and small water snakes. Strudel slightly furrowed his brow and asked Cain in a low voice, "Boss, do you want an army or a security team?"

  Cain glanced at him and said lightly: "My subordinates are the army."

  The Pope's plane left London, and as a mark of respect to the Vatican, a squadron of British fighter jets escorted the plane until it reached French airspace, where the French Air Force took over this honorable task. What made Britain unhappy was that France dispatched an entire wing of fighter jets, causing the British military to lose face slightly.

  Yi Chen sat in the fifth-floor living room of a new Chinatown building in central London, smiling as he watched the two vans across the street. David's inside information had come through, this was M's request to monitor his own special task force.

  Yi Chen smiled and said: "They really aren't afraid of being tired, they've been parked downstairs for over a month now."

  Ge Er poured a glass of wine and handed it to Yi Chen, casting a strange glance at the two vans, and said: "Boss, do you want me to..."

  Yi Chen shook his head, smiling and said: "No need to torture these poor little special agents, they just earn a living, support their families...Gol, get two mobile phones on all day, put police and bandit films next to them, hmm...I think they will be interested in the dialogue of these video tapes."

  Gol smiled innocently and walked out with big strides.

  Phillip happened to push open the door and bow slightly, saying: "Sir, Viscount Whitegard has arrived."

  Yi Chen was taken aback for a moment. Feili threw aside the fashion magazine in her hand, furrowed her brow and said: "That high-end thief?"

  "Right," said Phil, nodding slightly. "The Earl of Whitechapel wants to see the boss and says he has a big deal to discuss with us."

  Fiona pouted and jumped up from the sloping sofa, quickly running to the bedroom upstairs. Jester yawned, pulled out a joint from his pocket, and started smoking hastily, collapsing as if boneless.

  Easy dust two legs kicked up high, touched his chin, nodded and said: "So, please come in, Count... Jester, don't lie there like a dead dog, get some spirit..."

  Jester rolled his eyes, twisted his body, took a few deep drags on the hemp, and lazily blew out a few smoke rings before he even bothered to move.

  Bai Jiatu walked in with a swagger, bowed exaggeratedly to Yidun, and smiled: "Mr. Yi, nice to see you again."

  Yi Chen stood up and gestured with his hand: "Please sit down, sit wherever you like. We're all old friends now, no need to be polite."

  Bai Jiade sat down, picked up the wine glass handed over by Fei'er, and his big eyes gleamed as he looked around, exclaiming: "Mr. Yi is indeed the biggest boss in London now, just look at your decorations, my god, is that a real 'Water Lily'? Oh my god..." He quickly jumped up and rushed towards an oil painting on the wall.

  Yi Chen smiled and said: "I don't know if it's true or not, but since I took over the territory of those bosses, then I should also take over their safes... Putting this painting in there is a waste... Mr. Bai Jiatu?"

  White had already taken out a magnifying glass and was carefully examining the oil painting, muttering to himself: "It can't be wrong, look at the brushwork, look at the pigments, look at the canvas, look at the edges of the small poplar wood frame... God! This is the real thing, it's true, last time I saw a fake, this time it's actually the genuine article... God, you've actually hung it on such an insecure wall... The black market price has already reached how much, do you know?"

  Yi Chen coldly said: "Mr. Bai Jia De, who do you think dares to come here and steal this painting? You?"

  Bai Jiade suddenly jumped up, awkwardly smiling: "How could that be? We're friends... Dear Mr. Yi, I think I have something to trouble you with."

  Bai Jiade sat back in his original seat, his head constantly turning to look at the painting "Sleeping Lotus". Yi Chen shook his head and smiled: "Mr. Bai Jiade, I can let you appreciate this painting here for three days, is that enough? What brings you to find me? Christ above, I'm not interested in those sacred objects."

  Bai Jiade hastily turned around, smiling and saying: "This time, the last thing was a mistake... Haha, it was a mistake... Hmm, Mr. Yi, you won't think I came to find you for those elusive things, will you? Haha, this time it's real, oh God, piles and piles of cash!"

  Yi Chen smiled and leaned back on the sofa, pulling out a cigar. Phil quickly lit it for him. Yi Chen gazed up at the sky, blew out a ring of smoke, and said softly: "Money? I'm not interested. I've made a few deals recently and earned some... If you want something interesting, Mr. Bai Jia De, I have something interesting."

  Bai Jiatu misunderstood Yichun's meaning and quickly flattered him, saying: "Of course, of course. You have recently unified the entire London underground forces. Except for that has-been old man Wiggins, you are now the king of the London underworld. These small amounts of money are certainly not worth your attention... I swear on my artistic appreciation that it will be very interesting."

  Yi Chen looked at Bai Jia De, amused in his heart, nodded and said: "So, let's hear it, what thing? How much is the other party offering?"

  Bai Jiade took a big gulp of red wine, his black wavy hair shaking violently, his silver-gray eyes staring at Yi Chen: "Mr. Yi, the other side is offering 300 million US dollars, 300 million US dollars... Our boss said that we can give you a 50% profit, are you satisfied with 50%? It can be higher, higher..."

  Yi Chen gently rotated the cigar between his fingers, smiling at Bai Jia De and slightly tilting his head: "Sir, money is not a problem, no, no, no, money is far from being a problem... I'm not someone who values money highly. What kind of goods?"

  Bai Jiatu looked at Yicun, licked his lips, and carefully said a few words: "Mountain of Light."

  Yi Chen looked at Bai Jia De, a strange smile gradually appearing on his face: "Ha, Mountain of Light."

  Jester sprang up from the sofa and exclaimed excitedly: "Mount Radiance?"

  Phil slightly bowed his head, staring at Bai Jiateng: "Hey, Guangming Mountain..."

  Yi Chen viciously extinguished the cigar in his hand, leaning forward with great interest and staring at Bai Jiatu: "Mountain of Light... Why didn't you just have us steal away Buckingham Palace directly? After all, it's all about stabbing a knife in the butt of the British Empire."

  Bai Jiatian bluntly said: "Compared with Guangming Mountain and the White Gold Palace, it's more practical to steal a king's crown?"

  Yi Chen stroked his chin.

  Bai Jiade looked at Yicun with a tense expression, full of hope, and said: "Mr. Yi, last time you rejected us... this time, you..."

  Yi Chen smiled: "How many people did you look for before thinking of us?"

  Bai Jiatie bit his lip tightly.

  Yi Chen furrowed his brow: "Dear, why are you so afraid? Am I not the first person you chose? It's okay, I'm not someone who attaches great importance to face."

  Bai Jiade smiled cautiously: "This... You are the first person we've found, why waste time? Mr. Yi... This..."

  Yi Chen thought for half a day and looked at Bai Jia De with a strange expression: "Yes, why should we waste our time? Do you know something?"

  Bai Jiade looked around and seemed to be considering a retreat, but suddenly he gritted his teeth and said, "They, sir, your codename is... They."

  "God, save me..." Bai Jiade let out a scream. Phil pounced on him like a lion, pinching his neck tightly and lifting up his slender body. Jester had already turned to his back, with the blade of a dragon-slaying dagger pressed against Bai Jiade's spine, slowly pushing inward.

  Bai Jiade struggled and cried out in a miserable voice: "Oh God, Mr. Yi... spare my life."

  Yi Chen lightly waved his hand and smiled.

  Jester returned to his position, but his body was like a leopard on high alert, ready to pounce again at any moment; Phil put White Card on the sofa and stood behind him with his massive body.

  Yi Chen poured himself a glass of wine, smiling and saying: "Really, I really have to admire the strength of your organization... You know, all the intelligence agencies in the world don't know that 'they' are us, but you found out... I'm very interested, where did our communication system go wrong."

  Bai Jiade panted and sat on the sofa, picked up a bottle of wine and poured it down, bluntly saying: "Sorry, Mr. Yi, we accidentally discovered this... To be frank, your manager is thousands of miles away, using some intelligence network to transmit this information... Unfortunately, one of the networks, called 'Diamond Ghost' in the circle, is our peripheral organization."

  "Ahah!" Yì chén exclaimed loudly: "'Diamond Ghost' is the external intelligence organization of your organization? ... Oh my god, dear Count, I think we have a necessary cooperation... 'Mountain of Light', I think I can hand it over to you as soon as possible."

  Bai Jiatu looked at Yi Chen and nodded, saying: "Our boss was shocked by our discovery... To be honest, we didn't want to offend an organization as dangerous as yours... But perhaps it's necessary for us to borrow your strength... You see, I'm risking my life to find you, we have nothing to hide from you."

  Yi Chen smiled: "Your boss is a gambler, dear. If I hadn't called out quickly, you would have been crippled for life at least."

  Bai Jiade touched the small hole on his back and smiled wryly.

  Yi Chen nodded: "We want 60% of the profit, dear, 60%, and at the same time, your boss will have to discuss with me the perfect cooperation between 'Diamond Ghost' and my organization after he gets the goods... Haha, I think he'll be interested, especially when that big diamond is in his palm."

  Bai Jiatu let out a relaxed breath: "Not a problem at all, dear Mr. Yi, but I think I need to remind you..."

  Yi Chen nodded slightly.

  "What's mysterious is that it's under the London Tower in a dungeon, everyone in the world knows this, but why haven't so many powerful people obtained it?"

  Yi Chen looked at him and took out his own jade pendant, gently stroking it: "Huh? Is the defense very strong?"

  Bai Jiade suddenly burst out laughing: "Do you believe in ghosts and spirits? Dear Mr. Yi."

  Yi Chen was taken aback for a moment, shook his head in a strange manner: "No, no, no, dear, Chinese people are all atheists, this is the current national condition of China, I don't believe in gods."

  "Communist society, huh? Marx's materialism?"

  "He said loudly, 'Legend has it that the spirit of King Arthur is guarding the Tower of London. This is the intelligence our 'Diamond Ghost' easily obtained, they bribed a son of a royal deputy governor with some special medicine to deal with that deputy governor and got this sentence... In fact, many masters have invaded the Tower of London, but they all failed. And the instruments they carried should not have failed... including the most advanced ones from the American War Laboratory's micro remote control robots, they also all failed.'"

  "Don't worry, sir. We won't fail... It was a message from Venice half a month ago that led you to us, wasn't it?"

  "Bai Jiade carefully looked at Yi Chen: 'Mr. Yi, I hope you understand that your subordinates here are not in the wrong... The ones who made a mistake are us. Our 'Diamond Ghost' principle is to never leak secrets, but we ourselves used these materials and we want to make amends.'"

  "No, sir, I didn't mean that. What I meant was that those bastards who commissioned us for this task need to pay a higher price because Vis exposed us while trying to deliver the intel to them. They must give us more compensation... Please, sir, we need some time to prepare. The legend of King Arthur's ghost is not worth our trust."

  Bai Jiatu quickly stood up, nodded and indicated: "So, my goal has been achieved. Mr., I look forward to your good news... Trust us, we also have our own principles, we will not leak any intelligence about 'them'."

  "If I hear any rumors that shouldn't be there, affecting us, then I'd rather destroy the whole of Europe than let you guys live. Hope you understand... flattening Europe is too easy, you know? Just one nuclear warhead would do."

  Bai Jia De's face changed slightly, and he said seriously: "Yes, we won't..."

  "Then, sir, leave your contact information with Mr. Phil, I'll notify you once I get my hands on it... May I ask, why do you want to possess the 'Diamond Ghost'? The price is too high, such a fine intelligence network."

  Bai Jiade smiled: "You understand, we need to get the exact location of some targets... Many collectors are too stingy, they always auction items anonymously, we need a bit of intelligence, otherwise we can't make a move."

  Yi Chen smiled and saw him off at the door, intentionally or unintentionally saying: "Sir, please note that the two white vans across the street from my window come from Military Intelligence Division 6."

  "Good heavens, you're still talking to me with the window open... Good heavens, the most advanced eavesdropping devices can pick up anything within a kilometer... God almighty, you've led us into a dead end."

  "Darling, I was just talking about taking out a few people yesterday, and this morning they're gone. The British government didn't stop me."

  Bai Jiade composed himself and said calmly, "Ah, I understand... Your subordinates are very capable, sir. This is to be expected, given 'their' strength. Hmm, I understand what you mean. I'll be careful, and so will my boss."

  Bai Jiade quickly got into his boss's car, rolled down the window and loudly greeted a young man less than two meters away: "Hey, Mr. Agent... I really can't believe you've been guarding here all along."

  Bai Jiade's boss changed his face and frantically knocked on the glass partition in the middle of the car with his cane, and the car drove away quickly.

  Several agents also changed their expressions and hastily looked up to see that Yi Chen was at the window across the street, blowing them a flying kiss.

  Fei Li walked down and watched the two vans drive away quickly, curiously asking: "Boss, what did that dear Earl ask us to do?"

  Yi Chen Jie's eyes sparkled with amusement as he chuckled and said, "Baby, don't worry about it. They know we're the biggest gang in London now, so they're hoping we'll take care of them later and send some protection money their way."

  Jester said, "Boss, isn't it? They want us to steal the 'Mountain of Light' diamond, don't they?"

  Yi Chen's heart sank, and he helplessly looked into Fei Li's eyes at the countless little stars inside, starting to consider what means to use to persuade this precious little girl...
