When I think about Alan's work style, he wouldn't be so diligent unless he got into trouble. Now he's here early in the morning, so he probably came here overnight.

Thinking of this, Boss Cha subconsciously sat up straight, glanced at Butler Capel and said, "Send someone to wash me up. I won't take a shower in the morning. I'll talk about it after I see Allen later."

"Yes, Your Highness."

…

Alan was leaning on the sofa and sleeping carefree. He didn't have to be like the others, who had to sit in the reception area and wait obediently even though they hadn't been summoned by the boss.

Anyway, when they got here, Alan heard that Boss Cha had not gotten up yet, so he asked the servants to prepare food for him. He ate whatever was expensive. After eating, he felt comfortable and lay down on the sofa to sleep, just like he was back home.

He was polite enough to sleep directly in the guest room without asking for one.

"Your Excellency... Your Excellency... Please wake up. His Highness is asking you to pass."

“Hmm… ah?”

Until he was woken up by Capel, Allen rubbed his eyes and asked, "What time is it?"

"Uh... 9:32 in the morning, Your Excellency."

"Let's go. Where is Your Highness waiting for me? The study?"

"His Highness is waiting for you on the terrace. He knows that you haven't had enough rest, so he said that we can talk on the terrace later so that you can smoke."

"Ha ha!"

After hearing this, Alan laughed and winked at Butler Capel.

…

"Why are you here so early? I heard you caught someone?"

Until now, Boss Cha still had some doubts that Allen could catch the person so quickly.

"Your Highness! Ever since you gave me the task that day, I haven't closed my eyes for a single day in all these days!"

Without waiting for Boss Cha's consent, Alan sat down on the empty small sofa next to him, looked at the garden outside the terrace in the distance, took a deep breath, then turned around and started to play the victim.

“…”

Boss Cha stared at Alan's face. He looked a little haggard, but the eye boogers in the corners of his eyes made him look like he had just woken up. However, from how haggard he looked, he didn't look like he hadn't slept for several days.

Seeing Boss Cha looking at him with a questioning look, Allen pretended to be even more pitiful. He took what he heard from Vaughn, reworked it himself, and turned it into his own deeds.

"Your Highness... I have arranged for people to thoroughly investigate the entire Wales these days. I didn't dare to rest even for a second. The documents I need to read every day are so high. Finally, I found the hiding place of the murderer yesterday. I didn't hesitate at all and took my bodyguards to arrest him personally. Your Highness!!! My men suffered heavy losses!!!"

"Um?"

Seeing the seriousness of what Allen said, Boss Cha became even more confused. His men suffered heavy losses?

He had some understanding of the situation on Allen's side. Let's talk about other things, just look at Allen's delivery men. They are retired veterans directly recruited from the Navy Department every year. There are thousands of them. Even if most of them are pigs, we can always pick out a few useful ones, right?

"How many people did you capture? What were the casualties?"

Boss Cha's brain almost crashed for a moment. He thought Alan was doing something stupid again. He thought that if he got angry, he would massacre the whole village.

What era is this? If such a scandal really happened, it would be a big deal!

No wonder he came so early, he really was in trouble!

…

"Your Highness, there were only fourteen people on the other side, and two of them did not stay with them. I started to arrest these twelve people first. Five suspects were shot dead on the spot and seven were arrested. The other two who were outside and did not come back ran away... Five or six of my bodyguards were also injured."

Alan described the "casualties" on his side with a sad face.

Although none of his elite bodyguards were injured, but...how could it be so easy to report the situation to the leader?

How can I make Boss Cha take me seriously if I haven't completed the task over many difficulties?

Should we tell him that he just listened to the gossip from his subordinates and decided to arrest someone on the spur of the moment, but who knew that he would catch the real culprit?

If you really say that, it sounds unreliable.

…

After hearing what Allen said about five suspects being shot dead and several of his bodyguards being injured, Boss Cha secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After taking a look at Allen's expression calmly, Boss Cha scolded, "What are your bodyguards for? How many of them were there? How could so many of them be injured? How do you train them normally?!"

"Uh... Your Highness, our guards have been withdrawn and have not been trained for a long time. I gathered hundreds of bodyguards to barely catch them! Your Highness!!! I only caught a few people this time, but I suffered such a huge loss. I still have to protect you in the future... How can this be possible?"

“…”

As soon as Allen finished speaking, Boss Cha was stunned. He looked at Allen carefully again and finally realized that he was asking him for the establishment of the guard team.

Like the Hill family before, because of their special mission, the King of England gave them a small guard organization of one hundred people... not many, but that was the organization of heavy cavalry!

The organization of a heavy cavalry guard of one hundred men does not mean that it is just one hundred men!

For example, a heavy cavalryman must be equipped with at least two attendants. These two attendants are responsible for helping the knight to raise horses and look after equipment, but they do not take up any quota.

In addition to these three people, a heavy cavalry must be equipped with at least six horses!

Among them, there is one main battle horse, which is the most expensive, as well as a horse for daily riding and two pack horses responsible for carrying supplies and equipment, and two servants also need two riding horses.

In total, a heavy cavalry guard of 100 people has more than 300 personnel and nearly 2,000 horses, and the money has always been allocated by the royal family.

In addition to personnel, equipment, and horses, there are also venues, barracks, training grounds and other things. The total cost of this set is almost enough to maintain a first-class battleship at that time!

This is not the later kind of battleship, but a first-class battleship from the era of sailing warships in the early 17th century!

A thing with a hundred guns on a ship!

It is no exaggeration to say that this thing is a money-eating beast.

But for the stability of Wales, this expenditure is still necessary. Of course... the Hill family also performed very well and used this heavy cavalry guard to continue to stabilize the situation in Wales.

But as time went on, Britain's status became higher and higher, the situation became better and better, and technology became more and more advanced, so their guard became somewhat eye-catching.

First, the number of guards was reduced to 50, and later, due to the further modernization of weapons, the number of attendants was cut in half. Anyway, it was weakened step by step, and for a period of time, there were basically only a hundred or so people left.

Later... in modern times, after World War I, their family's guard organization was completely abolished.

Boss Cha didn't expect that Alan would mention this matter to him today. Although he didn't say it explicitly, Boss Cha understood what Alan meant.

…

Reaching out and touching a cigar on the coffee table, Boss Cha cut the cigar while thinking.

If this guard unit were to be restored, it would definitely be beneficial to him, but...

Times have changed now. Even the protection around him has been replaced by bodyguards instead of the guards as before.

There are reasons for saving money, and there are also reasons for... the royal family to compromise.

Theoretically speaking, the only people who can be called Boss Cha's bodyguards are Alan, the lone commander, and a few guards who are just there to show off.

The only traditional guards that are truly capable of fighting are the Royal Guards around the Queen.

Now that he's suddenly doing this, he's a little unsure...

…

"Let's put this matter aside for now. When you return today, hand over the person you caught to the security department. You don't have to worry about the rest."

After lighting a cigar, Boss Cha scolded Alan in a low voice.

"Your Highness! Why should I hand over the people I captured to them?!"

"So what did you ask?"

Seeing Allen's unhappy look, Boss Cha became even angrier and asked Allen a question in return.

"This... I only asked a few simple questions when I caught him, and then I rushed here to report the situation to Your Highness. I only found out that some people said... that the merchant deserved to die, and said he was a traitor."

Alan was not in a hurry to press the issue and was not worried at the time because he had other sources of information. When he was in London that day, there were so many outsiders present and he couldn't ask too many questions at that time. But now it was different. There were only him and Boss Cha here. If he had any news, he could ask Boss Cha directly!

Is there anything else that even Boss Cha doesn't know?!

With a boss like this, you can know whatever you want to know!

…

Boss Cha glanced at Allen who was full of curiosity, and pondered for a moment. There were some things... If Allen didn't ask, he wouldn't tell Allen actively, but if Allen really asked, he wouldn't say he didn't know. What couldn't he tell his chief guard?

Boss Cha was basically defenseless against Allen.

"A few years ago... our intelligence organization recruited an official from the Israeli embassy, ​​who told us some important intelligence... about Israel."

As he spoke, Boss Cha stared at Allen with a threatening look in his eyes.

"Your Highness, I know the rules. I'm just curious. The person has been caught, but I still don't know why. Don't worry, I won't say anything nonsense!"

Alan tilted his upper body and leaned slightly towards Boss Cha, ready to listen to the story.

…

"Well, later on, the official was exposed and arrested by Mossad. After investigation, the intelligence department suspected that the informant was Robert."

"!!!"

Alan blinked. Mossad belongs to Israel. If you are unfamiliar with this name, just think of Russia's so-and-so and you will know what they do.

The Robert that the boss was talking about was the wealthy businessman who died. After all this fuss, he was the one who took the initiative to inform on the matter? What a fucking bastard.

How many were eaten?

And after telling the secret, this guy can still stay in Daejeon as if nothing happened?

"Although the intelligence department knew that he was the informant, they had no evidence, and we also needed him to help us pass on some things, so we kept him."

"As for the fact that he went to Wales every once in a while, sailed out to sea, and met people at sea, the intelligence department knew about this, but they were afraid of disturbing him, so they kept an eye on him from a distance. As for the person who was responsible for contacting him, since they were lurking in Wales, they just let them go."

"???"

Alan was suddenly stunned. He finally understood why the security department was so sure that the murderer was in Wales. It turned out that these idiots had known that the murderer was lurking in Wales.

Damn...what kind of rubbish is this, thrown into Wales?

No one told him!

…

"Your Highness, then...since the security department knew that group of people were in Wales, why didn't they tell me their specific address?"

Alan was a little confused about this. He hated this kind of roundabout things the most.

"Humph... Robert is very greedy. People like him... would even sell their souls for money. Some time ago, he needed a large sum of money, and the security department promised to provide him with a long-term interest-free loan of 50 million pounds. Then he... used an important piece of Israeli intelligence in exchange."

"???"

Alan blinked and said, "Oh shit."

Boss Cha looked at Allen deeply and continued, "Our people have verified the intelligence, and it is of great significance, but... the day after his death is the day the bank agreed to release the loan."

"!!!"

Oh shit.

Allen finally understood. After all this time, Robert was so skilled and bold that he acted as a multi-faceted spy and sold information everywhere. In the end...

I met the British gentlemen who were even more evil-minded.

The information was exchanged for money. After getting the information... seeing that this old guy was old and no longer of any use, I simply...

Sell ​​him!

"Your Highness... Are you saying that the intelligence he gave us was provided to those murderers by the security department?"

Alan specifically asked, this is so fucking dark.

"Well, fifty million pounds is not a small amount of money. The intelligence department is not that wealthy."

"So... the intelligence department leaked the news that he betrayed Israel, and then he was interviewed by his contact, and then he was killed as a traitor. And our intelligence department pretended to be unaware of it and investigated the cause of his death. In the end... I caught these murderers?"

Alan went over the whole process in his mind and roughly understood what happened.

"That's about right. This way, we can maintain the reputation of our intelligence department, and you will also get some credit, right? Go back and hand the man over to them. Their team leader wasn't killed by you, was he? He should be a senior Mossad officer. Hand him over, and our security department can use him to make a fuss about him."

“…”

Alan glanced at the cigarette box on the coffee table, picked up the box and lit a cigarette for himself.

Having said that, he also understood the real situation, but he was a little reluctant to hand over the person now.

Alan had no control over what the security department did with Clements, but...what if they just killed the old guy?

Will it disrupt the security department's plans?

Am I, Master Allen, someone you can use as a gun?

You tell me to pay, so I have to pay?

If Alan were to be obedient and make friends, wouldn't it seem that he has no temper?

As for whether killing someone would ruin the security department's business, Alan didn't care at all.

Anyway, he is a noble lord. What does the security department’s affairs have to do with him?

These words today were said to him by Boss Cha, and no one from the security department said them to him!

"Your Highness... I have been kept in the dark for such a long time, and now that I have caught the murderer, the security department won't say anything to me?"

"Um?!"
