Chapter 99 099 Understanding
099 - Neither rivals nor friends, it's fair to say that the group of people in this group were as angry as they were before, and now they feel just as frustrated.
After listening to Barry's nonchalant provocations, the group was practically bursting with anger. If they weren't in such an awkward position, and even desperate to storm the UN base, they would have destroyed it even if they couldn't win.
However, after discovering that Barry's long string of words was all just a joke... the group is now holding their breath with nowhere to vent, practically causing themselves internal injuries from bottling it up.
Such dramatic ups and downs are too stimulating and really bad for the heart.
After all, although Montgomery was clearly smaller, judging from how she was jumping around in the suitcase frantically, throwing out all the petals, and even trying to jump out on her own, she was definitely not injured.
Psychologically... well, judging from how energetic she is, she's probably not injured.
The group, caught up in a mix of emotions, even forgot to pull Montgomery out of his suitcase, leaving him to jump around wildly and create a rare bit of noise in the quiet room.
Finally, finding it too noisy, Lofter reached out and lifted Montgomery out of the box.
Leaving the large bouquet of white chrysanthemums, Montgomery could finally breathe normally. He had never realized how important fresh air was. Montgomery took a deep breath in mid-air and then turned to Loft Loft with genuine sincerity: "Thank you."
I always thought Loft was a bit unlike a normal person, but now I realize I misunderstood him.
He's clearly a good person.
Loft, who was being thanked, nodded politely to Montgomery, and then naturally... placed Montgomery directly on the ground.
That's right, they simply put Montgomery, who was bound hand and foot, directly on the ground.
To be honest, Loft was quite gentle; when he put Montgomery on the ground, there was no bumping or bruising at all.
Montgomery, who was put on the ground, was initially confused. He glanced blankly at Loft, who had a "mission accomplished" expression, and at the group around him who were still suffering from stomach aches. He then tentatively moved around a couple more times.
Yes, she was still tied up quite tightly, with no room to break free.
At first, Montgomery just swayed around a few times in a daze. However, once he realized his situation, he started jumping around wildly again.
At this moment, Montgomery looked like a fish that had fallen to the floor, struggling...
Montgomery was inwardly weeping: Loft is indeed completely different from normal people!
Fitzgerald's expression gradually changed from stomach pain to headache. Especially after seeing Loft's series of ingenious moves, he sighed and facepalmed, "Alcott, you should untie Montgomery first."
Thanks to the fact that most people with superpowers are a group of eccentric and unconventional individuals, almost all leaders of superpower organizations have extremely strong resistance and recovery abilities to all kinds of events.
Alcott, with a blank expression, tried his best not to recall those embarrassing actions and thoughts (which now seemed very embarrassing), and walked forward to help Montgomery untie his bonds.
Unfortunately, judging from how much Alcott blushed, her efforts seemed to have little effect.
After being bound hand and foot for several hours, Montgomery was finally freed. Looking at his short legs and arms, now free, and then looking up at Alcott, who should have been the same height, Montgomery couldn't help but shed tears of "emotion".
It's so moving that anyone who hears it is heartbroken and anyone who sees it will shed tears.
Fitzgerald clapped his hands: "Alright, Montgomery, could you explain the details of what happened?"
With teary eyes, Montgomery nodded, composed himself, and began to recount what had happened.
After Montgomery finished reporting on the operation, the team members present fell into deep thought.
From one perspective, Montgomery's operation was quite successful. Her most important objective in sending her out—capturing the man-tiger—was actually accomplished, but it was intercepted by Vladimir, who suddenly appeared.
If there were any mistakes... well, there were some. If Montgomery hadn't thought of a desperate fight after recognizing Vladimir, but had instead retreated, the "Man-Tiger" might already be in their hands.
Therefore, the situation is complex, and it is actually not easy to judge merits and demerits.
Ultimately, it was the group's leader, Fitzgerald, who gave the final verdict on the incident.
“Well, after all, the opponent is the UN, and it was a sneak attack.” Fitzgerald pondered for a moment, defining the incident as a mistake made after being ambushed. “There’s no need for punishment… However, Montgomery might not have the energy to remove his special ability.”
Montgomery frowned in distress, but said nothing until he left the room.
The other members of the group looked at each other for a moment, then left Fitzgerald's office one by one.
Only Edgar Allan Poe, who had somehow entered the room, didn't leave; instead, he moved closer to Fitzgerald.
"Boss, about Montgomery..."
“I know the UN definitely has a purpose this time,” Fitzgerald said, leaning back in his chair. “But at least they have clearly expressed that they don’t want to be enemies, but they also won’t cooperate.”
Edgar Allan Poe nodded, then added, "Moreover, using 'Lolita' to restrain Montgomery also serves to weaken our forces, indicating that they most likely haven't given up on the fight for the 'Book'..."
“This is a bit troublesome. I was hoping that the UN would stay here purely because of the match between Christie and Holmes.” Fitzgerald rubbed his temples and couldn’t help but sigh. “We can only proceed with the second plan. As for Montgomery, let’s not mention her dispelling her powers for now. Let’s just consider it as a statement to the UN.”
Edgar Allan Poe continued to nod, then, as if suddenly remembering something, turned to Fitzgerald and said, "By the way, if I'm not mistaken, the UN's main objective is indeed to confront Holmes's side. The 'book' likely doesn't play a very important role in this game, but rather appears as a trigger or a bargaining chip."
In other words, whether it's the UN or the Joint Major Crimes Unit, the "book" is a lower priority for them than for the unit.
"I see..."
Fitzgerald sat in his chair, muttering to himself.
"Is that why they say they are neither friends nor enemies?"
