Little Eric and May's first meeting with Ben was perfect.Merlin's cousin and brother-in-law have no plans to have a child for the time being, but they are both kind people, and after hearing that little Eric's father is missing, they are both sympathetic to the child's plight.The sensual May also said that she was willing to take care of the child when Merlin went on a business trip, and even adopted Eric instead of Merlin.But neither Merlin nor Eric could agree to May's request.The reason is simple.They are people with secrets, and their secrets will hurt the innocents around them.So they can only move forward in solitude.However, Merlin promised his cousin that he would let little Eric come to May often in the future, or stay for a while once in a while, and finally prevaricate the kind and gentle cousin.After saying goodbye to his beloved cousin and brother-in-law, Merlin bought little Eric the latest game console, and then sent him back to the orphanage, where he met with Father Paul and asked him to help take care of little Eric as promised.For this purpose, Merlin also donated a sum of money to St.
Matthew's Church and St.
Agnes Abbey.It's embarrassing to always bother people, after all, Father Paul is a priest, not a nanny who specializes in helping him with his children.Merlin spent another day in New York, and after Fury had completed all the secondment procedures for him, Merlin was on a direct international flight to London in the evening, where he would be on a secondment that would last for months or even more than a year.Sitting on the plane, Merlin looked at New York that was getting smaller and smaller below, the recent events were complicated, and as he was about to leave the city, Merlin felt a wave of exhaustion hit him.He set an alarm for 5 hours and 30 minutes, drank a glass of water, leaned back in his chair, and fell into a deep sleep.And at the same time that Merlin left New York, outside a café in Brooklyn, John Brownlin.
Konstantin, with his hands in the pockets of his trench coat, looked at the café in front of him, his eyes shining with a detached anger.Just four hours earlier, a scathing letter had arrived in his rented apartment, containing confessions from five local girls accusing Constantine of tarnishing them, along with photographs of the time of the crime and a stumbling résumé of Constantine's life in England.Obviously, this is a threat.Someone is "reminding" him in this way.At the end of the letter, there was the address of the café in front of me, and an invitation."
Well, then let me see which fool dares to threaten Lord Konstantin!"
The down-and-out detective cursed viciously, straightened his clothes, pushed open the door, and walked into the café.He soon discovers that in the corner table, a mysterious guy is sitting.The guy covered his face with an open newspaper that looked like he was reading today's news, and at the guy's feet, there was a black handbag."
Bang" Konstantin angrily walked up to the guy, slapped the table with a slap, and whispered, "Are you pretending to be a ghost?"
”"Sit down, Mr.
Konstantin."
Nick.
Fury put down the newspaper in his hand, and he glanced at the angry Constantine.He crossed his legs, stretched out his hand, made a "please" gesture, and said, "Forget that letter, it was just a little 'joke'." ”Fury looked at the bohemian and disgraceful detective in front of him, and said, "I've been having a headache lately, and a friend of mine recommended you to me, and he told me that you are the one who still has some ability among all the charlatans in New York."
So I was thinking, maybe, you can help me solve those problems that I have. ”"You have to be sincere in asking for help, Mr.
Negro."
Konstantin leaned back in his chair and lit a cigarette casually, ignoring the non-smoking sign in this café, he looked at Fury and said sarcastically: "But I don't see your sincerity, so I'm not going to help you."
I've come here to tell you, sir, that your little bits are trying to threaten me?
You dream about it!
”The guy gave Fury a hard middle finger and said, "By the way, let your pretending friend go to hell too!"
”Fury looked at Konstantin and was not angry at Konstantin's humiliation.On the contrary, Fury calmly listened to the series of swear words scolded by the guy in front of him, and he waited patiently.It wasn't until a few minutes later that Fury's phone vibrated in his hand.He made a pause gesture to Konstantin, who was babbling profanity, before picking up his phone and putting it to his ear.After more than ten seconds, Fury hung up.He crossed his fingers and propped his chin on, he looked at Konstantin, his sharp eyes beating with a glint of victory, and he said, "Mr.
Konstantin, two officers from the New York Police Department have just found a large number of X items in your apartment, as well as some counterfeit banknotes, and some stolen goods related to the theft case.At the same time, in an illegal detective agency where you have no license or any professional certificate, my subordinates have found something of the same bad nature. ”"So I regret to announce, sir, that you have been arrested."
Fury threw a handcuff on the table, put his hands together, and said to a stunned Constantine: "According to federal law, you will also spend at least seven years in prison, plus you have just abused and threatened public officials, and in the police station, there are four women who can always testify that you are involved in theft and fraud." ”Fury paused, and he glanced at Konstantin, whose face was now unsightly.Fury accentuated his tone and continued: "It is likely that your sentence will be extended again without bail.Now, has this harsh and icy reality calmed you down?
”"Would you like to talk to me?""
Who the hell are you?"
Konstantin stared at Fury, and the guy in front of him did look very energetic and wristy.He was hesitating to throw a powerful Oblivion Spell that would turn the bastard into an idiot.But he didn't end up doing that.John.
Konstantin was a man of current affairs, and after a few minutes, Konstantin calmed down, he looked at Fury, and he said, "What the hell do you want me to do for you?"
”"I want a list."
Fury took a sip of his coffee and said to Constantine, "A watchlist of all the supernatural creatures in New York City, I know you can spot them, and I know that you're a cheerful guy who does things for money and doesn't have any work ethic, so...""
Bang" Fury's box was placed on the table, he opened it, took out a wad of dollars from it, handed it to Konstantin, and said, "This is the first phase of the activity."
Within two months, information about all the supernatural creatures in Manhattan came to me.And then there's the second stage, where I'm going to do an assessment based on your results.If you're good enough—" Fury turned the box around, filled with a tempting wad of bills.This made the very depressed detective swallow his saliva.He thought for a few seconds, then quickly put the money in his pocket.He whistled and said to Fury in front of him with a pleasant face, "It turned out to be business."
You said earlier, sir, that I would most like to serve someone like you.2 months, right?
No problem. ”With that, Konstantin was about to leave, but was stopped by Fury.Fury handed him something, it was a black watch, and Fury said calmly, "With it, we can see where you are."
Once you suddenly disappear, all your incriminating evidence will be sent to the police station at once...
Mr.
John, I know that as a wizard, you have many ways to hide from us.But please believe that if you dare to release my pigeon, I can guarantee that every city in North America will be plastered with your wanted notice. ”Fury stood up, put his hat on his head, lifted his suitcase, and said to Konstantin, who was stunned, "You can break the contract at will, you can run away at will...""
But if you can live freely in North America in the future, even if I lose!"
He stretched out his hand and helped Konstantin straighten the collar of his crumpled trench coat, he patted Konstantin on the shoulder, and said, "By the way, my friend Merlin, ask me to say hello to you." ”"Go back and get some rest, John, and get to work tomorrow."—————————————————— "Oops, Merlin, we're meeting again." ”At London Heathrow, Merlin was greeted by John Brown, who had fought alongside him a few days earlier.
Agent Gatler.He skillfully helped Merlin carry his luggage and led him all the way out of the airport.The weather in London was as bad as it had been rumored, and on the day Merlin arrived, the sky was overcast and gloomy, as if it was going to rain."
I've booked a restaurant to get you covered, Merlin."
As Gatler drove the car and smoked a cigar, the old cowboy-like agent said to Merlin, who was sitting in the passenger seat, "Is Fury okay over there in New York?"
Did Kohler get you in trouble?
”"Absolutely."
Merlin said helplessly, "I heard that Khloe broke into Fury's office and threatened to send Fury to prison, but Fury kicked him out with a gun.The news had spread in the bureau, and Khloe was greatly embarrassed, but he couldn't punish Fury, and I heard Fury say that Chief Pierce, covered in wounds, had a slap in the Senate, and he almost didn't name who planned the coup. ”"Hey, I knew they were going to choose this approach."
Garrett shook his head and said with a relaxed expression, "Pierce is very clever, he puts this on the table plainly, but he gives a step down the ladder to those who want to kill him.They will soon come to a new consensus ...
Kohler may not be replaced immediately, but it is undoubtedly impossible for him to be in the Strategic Danger Intervention and Espionage Logistics Division. ”"You mean, this isn't going to end anytime soon?"
Merlin frowned and asked, "I thought we had won." ”"It's still early, Merlin."
Gatler spat out a puff of smoke rings, looked old-fashioned, and said to Merlin: "This kind of political game is not so easy to end, we just pulled back a game."

It's too early for the real end, and we have to find another chance, a chance to get Kohler and all his subordinates out at once!
And it must be done above board, so that no one can find fault with it. ”Gatler breathed a sigh of relief, and he said to Merlin, "Okay, don't think about those things.I'll take you to the hotel first, put your luggage, and then we'll have a meal. ”"In a few days, I'll take you to Paris.The headquarters of the European Division of the Strategic Danger Intervention and Espionage Logistics Division is located in that city, and the agents there are all on Fury's side, all of our own people. ”Gatler patted Merlin on the shoulder in a friendly manner and said, "Young man, when you come here, it's like you're really coming home." ”Agent Gatler's enthusiasm flattered Merlin a little.After entering the city of London, Merlin said to Gatler, "John, how long have you been in London?"
”"It's been a long time."
Gatler replied: "I've been in the European division since I joined the Strategic Science Corps.We have a base in London, so I spend at least 3 months almost every year in the city...
Frankly, this city is not very livable. ”"Have you heard of some legends in this city?"
Merlin glanced at Gatler, and he pretended to ask casually, "For example, what kind of urban weirdos, what magic, what wizards, etc., I personally prefer such stories." ”"Yes, a lot."
Gatler spun the wheel in disbelief and said to Merlin: "The city of London is legendary, there are so many urban weirdos here, Edward Scissorhands, and even more rumors about magic."
If you really want to hear it, then when you eat, I will pick a few interesting things to tell you. ”"Okay."
Merlin breathed a sigh of relief, and he began to look forward to the dinner."
Speaking of which, Merlin, do you know—" Gatler said suddenly, "Chief Pierce thinks highly of you. ”"Huh?"
Merlin looked at Gatler, and he shook his head: "I don't know, that trip to Panama was the first meeting between me and Chief Pierce. ”"Well, he does value you."
Gatler smiled, he looked at the street in front of him, and he whispered, "He also called me specifically and asked me to treat you well and let me train you well."
He said, "You're the future star of the organization." ”"Oh, that's an honor."
Merlin smiled, and so did Gatler, and he chimed in, "Indeed, it should be honored...
It's always a privilege to pay attention from big people.You may not realize it now, but Merlin, you will know later how important Pierce values you and how important it is to your future development. ”"Alright, the hotel has arrived!""
Go and rest, lad, I'll pick you up at 9 p.m.!"
