At night.

Xue Lai and Pisco came back empty-handed.

The two of them were very reserved in the governor's office, facing Luke who was waiting for pizza.

"My Lord Governor," Xue Lai said aggrievedly: "It's my fault that we didn't ask clearly for the address of that pizza shop. We arrived at Baiyin Avenue, walked from East Avenue to West Avenue, and then from West Avenue to East Avenue, back and forth.

I’ve walked several times but still haven’t found the pizza place you mentioned.”

Pisco was secretly kicked by Xue Lai and said: "Sister Xue Lai is right. There is no pizza shop in such a long street. It's incredible... Mr. Governor, did you remember the wrong address?

Already?"

Luke behind the desk looked at the documents in his hand and asked casually: "I remember correctly, that pizza shop is on Silver Avenue. Did you not look for it carefully?"

Xue Lai quickly said: "Mr. Governor, we searched very carefully. We even searched the alleys leading to Baiyin Avenue. There really is no pizza shop."

"Yeah, we asked some people and they also said there is no pizza place on Silver Avenue," Pisco said.

"That is to say...you have searched several times but still can't find it, and you haven't found the location even when you asked people there?"

Xue Lai and Pisco said in unison: "Yes, Lord Governor."

Xue Lai continued: "Governor, would you like to eat something else?"

Luke did not put down the document in his hand, but waited for a moment and said: "Maybe when I left St. Lun City, the pizza shop moved away from Silver Avenue, so you didn't find it.

I really miss the taste of that pizza!

You have been busy for such a long time, you must be tired, go back and rest."

Xuelai and Pisco looked at each other, then saluted Luke and exited the room.

After closing the door, Pisco couldn't help but ask Xue Lai: "Sister, what kind of pizza can be so delicious and make the Governor miss it so much? I even want to taste it."

Xue Lai nodded: "Yes... Your Excellency has never had any requirements for food. You can eat all the food in the bureau cafeteria. If you can get such praise from the adults, it must be a very delicious pizza."

"I wonder where that pizza shop moved?"

At this time, Kylena walked out of the office next door with a stack of documents in her arms. When she came to the door of the governor's office, she was stopped by Xue Lai and Pisco.

Xue Lai asked in a low voice: "Kylena, you are from St. Lun City, do you know there is a delicious pizza shop on Baiyin Avenue?"

"A pizza shop on Baiyin Avenue?" Kylena was puzzled by Xue Lai's question: "You have been deceived! How can there be a pizza shop on Baiyin Avenue?"

Pisco said: "It was said by the Governor. He said that he had eaten delicious pizza on Baiyin Avenue before, and after interrogating the prisoner today, he asked Sister Xuelai and I to buy it.

But we searched several times on Baiyin Avenue and couldn't find it."

"Then the Governor must be lying to you." Kylena said sympathetically: "Half of Silver Avenue is the silver estate of the eldest prince, and the other half is all important imperial functional departments. There are no restaurants, no hotels, and no pizza parlors.

…”

Xue Lai and Pisco were stunned. They recalled that when they stopped someone on Baiyin Avenue to ask about the pizza shop, the other person looked at them strangely.

"Why did the Governor lie to us?"

"I don't know... We are never able to guess what the Governor does. Please open the door. I have something to report to you."

Xue Lai and Pisco immediately stepped aside and watched Kylena push the door open. They couldn't figure out why the Governor tricked us into buying pizza that didn't exist on Silver Avenue.

The Silver Manor on Silver Avenue is the residence of the eldest prince Fania. At night, there are only a few rooms with lights on in the Silver Manor, and the number of guards and servants is also very few.

The eldest prince Fania is forty-two years old today. He has not remarried since the death of his wife, and his life has become very low-key. Only the lowest staff are retained in the manor, and the main daily life is reading.

With his rich knowledge and humble character, Fania has a group of loyal fans in the imperial court. Everyone believes that if Fania can become the future emperor of the empire, he must be a wise monarch.

Moreover, Fania also sent his only son to the Northern Army, and there was often news in the palace about the imperial grandson's military exploits.

Fania was reading in the study at night. He was wearing comfortable casual clothes and sat on a gold spiral pattern chair with a velvet back cushion. The gorgeous magic lamp on the roof gave off softer light than incandescent lamps, and the room was filled with preciousness.

A scent that improves concentration and mental energy.

There is a silver wine jug and a crystal cup on the crystal round table next to it. When Fania is reading, she will bring the wine glass to take a sip of wine from time to time. Whenever the wine in the wine glass is finished, the wine jug will automatically fly up.

Tilt the pot and pour the red wine into the cup.

Fania was so fascinated by what he saw that even when the housekeeper opened the door and walked to his side, he didn't notice it.

"Master." The butler saluted respectfully.

Fania didn't take her eyes off the page and asked in a casual tone: "How is the matter handled?"

"Sam's death was handled very cleanly."

"I remember that last time you said that after you handled it very cleanly, Sam was caught by the Secret Service and was bitten. This time, his identity was discovered by Meteorite. Is this what you meant by cleanliness?"

"I'm sorry, Master!" The butler bowed deeply and apologized: "We didn't have enough time to prepare after receiving the order that night, which resulted in some mistakes. Fortunately, the assassins who were mainly involved in the operation were safely hidden, and Sam was just one of ours.

A peripheral intelligence agent, he doesn't know that he is serving his master."

"Are you blaming me for not giving you enough time?"

The butler immediately knelt down and said, "It's because of our lack of training. Master, please punish us."

Fania turned the page in the book in her hand and said: "Get up, some things are indeed unpredictable, and you have done a very good job. But how did Sam get exposed?

Agatha couldn't do anything about him, but Meteor found out his identity just after taking over Yuzi, it's incredible."

The butler stood up and talked about how Sam was exposed. He was also confused at this time.

"Master, this matter is indeed very strange. Meteorite saw through Sam's identity and did not send anyone to follow the other six suspects, allowing us to easily understand the interrogation process. Moreover, during the operation to silence Sam, the imperial agent who followed Sam

He didn't take any action and returned to Copper Mulberry Avenue after confirming that Sam was dead."

Such a weird action finally made Fania unable to focus on the book in his hand. He turned to look at the butler: "You mean... Meteorite deliberately silenced us?"

The housekeeper said slightly worriedly: "Yue Xing's actions in Raging Wave City are always unexpected. I can't figure out his purpose of doing this."

Fania's tone was a little nervous: "Are you sure Sam doesn't know my existence?"

"I'm sure! After Sam was arrested, all the people who had contact with him were dealt with. This time, by killing Sam, the entire line was eliminated.

The only person who knows that Sam is working for the master is me..."

Fania looked at the housekeeper and breathed a sigh of relief: "You are the person I trust the most. Watch the Copper Mulberry Avenue carefully for me. Every move of the meteorite must be reported to me."

"Yes, Master." The housekeeper hesitated for a moment and said, "There is a strange thing today related to the meteorite."

"What's up?"

"Today, the two cronies brought by Meteorite from Raging Wave City came to Silver Avenue to look for a pizza shop. They went back and forth several times to find it. All the important imperial functional departments on Silver Avenue have never had a pizza shop.

I don’t know where they heard it from.”

The book in Fania's hand fell to the ground, and he asked: "Did these two people come to Silver Avenue before Sam was released, or after he was released."

"After being released, as soon as Sam left the Secret Service's Secret Service, the two men came to Silver Avenue. They did not hide their whereabouts and many people saw them.

Master, Master, Master, what’s wrong with you?”

Fania's body trembled a little, and she said to herself: "He knows it was me, what does he mean?"

"Master..." The housekeeper, who realized that something serious had happened, said hurriedly: "You are saying that the meteorite has been found to have attacked Dai'er..."

Fania stood up from the chair, the magic energy gathered in his hands emitted a dazzling light. He stared at the butler and said murderously: "You just said... you are the only one who knows that Sam is working for me!"

The housekeeper was so frightened that he knelt on the ground again and prayed: "Master, I don't know what happened, but I definitely did not betray you. Please believe me, please believe me."

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and a servant shouted from outside: "Master, His Highness Sinclair and General Qiao Xiuer are back."

Fania withdrew her magic power and said fiercely to the housekeeper: "Find out what went wrong!"

"Yes, Master. Thank you, Master."

Fania walked out of the study and met her son Xin Kelai, who had rushed back to the imperial capital from the northern border, and the commander of the northern army, General Qiao Shuer, in the living room.

The emperor's grandson Xinkelai was wearing a military uniform, young and handsome, full of heroism. He saluted Fania and said happily: "Father, I heard the news on the way that grandpa asked you to take charge of the southern front. Uncle Qiao Xiuer is commanding

With the Northern Army, you and I will definitely fight a great war that will be recorded in history."

Fania patted her son on the shoulder: "You are very courageous, but you have to ask your uncle and your grandfather if they will let you go to the south."

"Father?" Sinclair didn't understand what Fania meant.

Qiao Xiuer on the side saluted Fania, and then said to Zink: "The north and the south are different. The empire and its northern neighbors have not had large-scale conflicts for more than ten years. In the south we have to face

It's the Celtic Archduke's barbarian army, and even I don't know if I can come back alive.

You are the only son of the eldest prince and my sister. Your grandfather and I will never let you take such a big risk. You must stay in the imperial capital."

The young and energetic Xin Kelai still wanted to fight for it, but Fania said: "Not only can you not go to the south, I will not go either.

Xin Kelai, leave the war in the south to your uncle. The battlefield between you and me is here! In the imperial capital, our enemies are more numerous and stronger...

You go and rest first, Qiao Xiuer and I have something to discuss."

…

Fania talked with Qiao Xiuer who came back from the northern border all night long.

Luke woke up after a good sleep.

Breakfast was served in the office. The food was pizza, ham and milk. Kylena reported on the intelligence from all parties from last night to this morning.
