This is an upscale hotel called "Castle", located halfway up the mountain in downtown Rome, about a dozen kilometers away from Fiumicino Airport.

The reason why it is called an "ancient castle" is because the hotel was originally a military fortress with a history of hundreds of years. It was acquired by the bank decades ago and transformed into its current hotel.

The interior decoration of the hotel still retains the medieval style. Whether it is the armor erected next to the passage or the sword hanging on the wall, it makes people feel refreshed, as if they are traveling through time and space and in a distant past.

At this time, in a room inside the hotel, Lin Chongwu stood by the window with his hands looking outside, his eyes calm and deep, and his slender and symmetrical body was as tall as a gun.

Behind Lin Chong, eight girls in black, including piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine, flowers and tea, stood or sat silently, with only uniform and subtle breathing sounds one after another.

Time passed, and I don’t know how long it took, but a knock on the door suddenly sounded outside the room.

"Knock!"

The eight girls stood up suddenly, almost like conditioned reflexes, and at the same time they pressed their hands on their waists, posing for shooting with their guns, staring at the door.

Lin Chong turned around and said lightly: "Don't be nervous, it's our guest that has arrived."

He glanced at the chess closest to the door. The latter understood and reached out to open the door, but his other hand was still pressing against his waist, and his vigilance was not reduced at all.

Two figures, one tall and one short, stood outside the door. The tall face was beautiful, the charming, the short appearance was sweet and the expression was cold. It was Veronica and Ilia.

The two walked into the room, and the chess poked out half of their bodies, glanced left and right into the corridor, and confirmed that no one was following them, then closed the door again.

"Mr. Lin, I'm glad you accepted my offer."

Veronica smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth, walked to Lin Chong gently, and stood opposite him: "I believe we will be able to cooperate happily."

Lin Chong opened the right way and said, "Do you have a specific plan?"

"Francis is holding a banquet to entertain Su Yunhai, and it is not the best time to start."

Veronica has become accustomed to Lin Chong's straightforward way of speaking, so she did not delay and told the news she found: "It is best to wait until the night before acting, because their vigilance will drop to the lowest point at that time, and with the help of the night cover, it is also convenient to retreat."

Lin Chong frowned: "I'm not asking when to start, but whether you have any plans?"

"Tonight, I will meet with the other four people of Wuzhushi. Then, Mr. Lin, you will disguise yourself as my entourage and enter the headquarters of the twelve palaces with me."

Veronica said slowly: "I will help you block the other three people. Mr. Lin, just try your best to get rid of Francis. As long as Francis dies, the twelve palaces will be my pocket. At that time, Su Yunhai is not worth worrying at all."

"Oh? You're so confident?"

Lin Chong raised his eyebrows: "If I remember correctly, there is a mysterious imperial throne above the five pillars, right? And can you alone block the other three five pillars?"

"The so-called throne is just a puppet, it has long been undermined and has no influence on the twelve palaces, so Mr. Lin doesn't have to worry."

Veronica smiled contemptuously: "No one of the Five Pillars except Frances is my opponent. I may not be able to defeat them, but I can still buy time for you."

Lin Chong's mind moved and he pondered without saying a word.

Although Veronica's plan is simple, it has no obvious flaws and is extremely feasible.

The only thing to worry about is whether she will break the bridge after the matter is done?

As Po Jun, who has experienced unsuccessful achievements in many battles, Lin Chong has his own set of principles of conduct when performing his mission and never entrusted his life and death to others.

The reason why Lin Chong agreed to cooperate with Veronica was not because he trusted the other party, but because under the current situation, joining forces with the other party is the best choice.

The two evils are the least likely to be the ones. Compared with Veronica, there are still other five pillars and Su Yunhai who are more threatening.

Veronica didn't know what Lin Chong was thinking. She thought Lin Chong was worried about failure in her actions, so she deliberately said in an aggressive tone: "Mr. Lin, you are not afraid, right? In fact, I take a higher risk than you. If you fail, you may be ruined and will never be reborn. I am not afraid. What are you afraid of?"

"Who said I was scared? I just felt that your plan was too presumptuous."

Lin Chong said expressionlessly: "Francis can become the first pillar, and he is definitely not a fool. Will you not be aware of his vigilance when you take a stranger to see him?"

"This is also the reason why I chose Mr. Lin as my helper."

Veronica wrapped her arms around her chest. With this action, the already proud upper circumference became more plump and almost came out of her clothes: "I think, as Pojun, who is responsible for assassination and destruction in Beidou, Mr. Lin should be proficient in the art of disguise? I heard that when you killed Andrew, you pretended to be a killer, right?"

Lin Chong narrowed his eyes and nodded suddenly: "So that's it."

"Yes, am I very smart?"

Veronica looked at Lin Chong with a squinted look, and Qiu Bo secretly gave her a look, extremely seductive: "Actually, since I saw Mr. Lin, I have wanted to cooperate with you."

"Yeah?"

Lin Chong smiled faintly, not believing Veronica's words at all, and changed the topic and said, "What kind of person do you think I should pretend to be?"

"When the Five Pillars meet each other, they usually bring a few loyal subordinates, such as me, I will bring Ilia and Jin Scorpion with me. Now Jin Scorpion is lying in the hospital, otherwise, Mr. Lin, you can pretend to be her?"

Veronica raised her jade hand and covered her rosy cherry lips, her eyes full of smiles.

A black line appeared on Lin Chong's forehead and said angrily: "Impossible."

"Hehe, I'm joking, why should Mr. Lin take it seriously?"

Veronica made a crisp laugh, her blue eyes curled into crescent shape, which was completely different from usual: "In fact, you just need to disguise yourself as an ordinary member of the Steel Thorn Legion. I will find a way to bring you in."

Lin Chong stared at Veronica for a while. He was really unpredictable about this weird woman.

Since Lin Chong was too lazy to figure it out, he simply ordered the order to expel guests: "Okay, I know what to do. Please come back to Miss Veronica, see you in the evening."

"Mr. Lin, we are partners now, can't we treat me to a meal?"
