The man in ordinary clothes did not notice that he was being followed. On the contrary, he walked very leisurely along the way, while Fang Zheng and Princess Mira followed behind him disguised as a couple.
"Why are we following this person?"
Looking at the man in front of her, Mira asked curiously.
“Simply because he is likely connected to the organizers of the protest.”
Fang Zheng leaned close to Mira's ear and explained in a low voice.
"This person has been watching the crowd, but he didn't shout or yell. It's obvious that he was observing the reaction to the demonstration so that he could report to his master behind him... Well, this is just my guess."
"So you don't know either? Then what if you follow the wrong person? Aren't we just wasting our time?"
"Don't worry, we will soon know whether we are following the right person or not."
Not long after Fang Zheng finished speaking, the man suddenly turned and walked into an alley, and Fang Zheng followed him in with Mira in his arms. However, just as they stepped into the alley and had not taken three steps, suddenly, two pistols were pointed at the back of their heads, one on the left and one on the right.
"Don't move!"
Along with the angry shouts, two guys dressed in black who looked like bodyguards walked out from the side, and the man that Fang Zheng and the others had been following reappeared in front of them with a smile.
"I never thought that there would be a rat following me. Who are you? You don't look like reporters... Could you be a spy for the royal family?"
"Look."
However, Fang Zheng did not answer his question, but looked at Mira and shrugged.
"Isn't that right? If he had nothing to hide, why would he bring two bodyguards to deal with us? Don't you think so?"
"you……"
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, the man's expression changed slightly. However, at this moment, Fang Zheng suddenly raised his hands, grabbed the wrists of the two bodyguards on both sides, and squeezed them hard. With screams, the guns in the hands of the two bodyguards fell. Then Fang Zheng just lifted them up like sandbags and threw them at the man in front of him.
"Bang!!"
The two strong bodyguards collided with the man directly, and then the two bodyguards fainted without a sound, and the man was also pressed down and groaned and couldn't speak. He was still struggling to climb out from underneath, but the next moment, a cold pistol was pressed against his head.
"Okay, now it's my turn to ask you this question. Who are you working for? Why did you come to incite the demonstrations?"
“I…I…”
The man hesitated and wanted to say something, but Fang Zheng just stared at him and continued to ask.
"Are you CIA? Or FBI?"
Facing Fang Zheng's question, the man was silent for a moment, then opened his mouth to answer.
"……I am……"
"Oh, CIA."
But what the man didn't expect was that before he answered the question, Fang Zheng had already given the answer.
"So these demonstrations were also planned and organized by you. It must have cost you a lot of money. Then can you tell me why you are so determined to overthrow the Wisbania regime?"
“…”
"Well, since you don't know, then please lead the way."
Fang Zheng shook the pistol in his hand.
"Take us to see someone who knows the inside story, otherwise, you know the consequences."
“…”
The other party hesitated for a moment, looked at the gun in Fang Zheng's hand, and seemed to be sure that he could not escape from Fang Zheng, so he nodded, then turned and walked into the alley, while Fang Zheng followed with Mira.
Under the guidance of the man, Fang Zheng and his team bypassed alley after alley, which made Mira feel a little dizzy, but Fang Zheng remained calm. Just as the man led them around another alley, Fang Zheng suddenly raised the gun in his hand and pulled the trigger.
“Swoosh!!”
With a slight sound, a black shadow suddenly fell from their eyes and fell heavily to the ground. Seeing this scene, Mira was so scared that she covered her mouth, while Fang Zheng just glanced at the corpse, then retracted his gaze and looked at the man leading the way.
"I have limited patience, and I don't want to go sightseeing in the city with a man."
“…”
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, the man's face darkened. He gritted his teeth and then stepped forward again. Mira looked at the corpse for a few more times, frowned, then quietly walked to Fang Zheng and pulled his sleeve.
"I'll answer your question after I finish this."
Fang Zheng naturally knew what Mira wanted to ask. You know, the CIA and the FBI are well-known, and Mira would have heard of them. But usually, they were only in movies, and now, the other party actually appeared in front of her, and might even be the culprit who subverted her country's regime and killed her mother and brother... This shocked Mira.
"……Um."
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Mira nodded and said nothing more, but she grabbed Fang Zheng's sleeve with a little more force.
Not long after that, the man brought Fang Zheng and Mira to a dilapidated underground parking lot located on a remote street not far away. The parking lot seemed to have been unused for a long time, and there was not even anyone standing guard. The roadblocks were also tilted, and the man led the two of them in.
There was no light in the dim underground parking lot. The further you go inside, the darker it gets. Mira is getting more and more nervous at this moment. She hides behind Fang Zheng and holds on to his clothes tightly, but even so, Mira has no intention of backing down.
"Close your eyes and hide behind me."
Suddenly, Fang Zheng whispered something in her ear.
"Open your eyes when I call you."
"Um."
Mira responded, then closed her eyes and pressed her whole body against Fang Zheng's back. The next moment, she felt Fang Zheng stop, and at the same time, in the depths of the dark parking lot, a dazzling white light suddenly appeared and shone towards Fang Zheng and others.
However, it was only for a moment.
As the light came on, Fang Zheng reached out, took out two pistols from his arms, aimed forward, and pulled the trigger.
"Bang!!"
Along with the sound of gunfire, the light that had just come on disappeared in an instant. It was so short that it was like a flash of lightning that just appeared in the darkness, but then, everything was completely different.
Fang Zheng's gunshot was like a starting signal, and soon, a series of gunshots rang out.
“Bang, bang, bang!!!”
“Da da da!!!”
Listening to the gunshots coming from all directions, Mira just grabbed Fang Zheng's clothes tightly, closed her eyes and dared not move. She felt as if she was on a battlefield full of bullets, with gunshots and shouting everywhere, but she couldn't hear anything clearly. She could even vaguely feel that a bullet seemed to have passed by her.
To be honest, Mira even felt that her legs had lost strength and she was unable to move, but the solid and reliable figure in front of her gave Mira a sense of security, just like the only big tree that sheltered her in the storm.
After an unknown amount of time, the rainstorm stopped and everything seemed to return to silence. It was only at this time that Fang Zheng's voice was heard again.
"Okay, Miss Mira, you can open your eyes now. It seems that we are really lucky."
Mira opened her eyes tremblingly and looked forward, then she was shocked - she saw a truck parked in front of her, and on both sides of the truck were several men in black suits. At this moment, they were lying on the ground, motionless, with weapons scattered everywhere around them.
A light stick emitted a soft white glow, illuminating the previously dark parking lot.
Not only that, among them, Mira also saw a fat and big-eared man who she was very familiar with!
"Duke Girard?"
"I didn't expect our luck was so good that we caught someone red-handed."
Fang Zheng changed the magazine, and then slowly walked towards Duke Killard, who looked at him in horror. He didn't know if it was because of the light, but Killard's face was pale and his whole body was shaking. He was even more surprised to see Princess Mira.
"You, why are you here?"
"This is the question I want to ask you, Duke Gerard."
Mira also came back to her senses at this moment. She walked out from behind Fang Zheng and stared at Duke Killard.
"Is it you? Did you plan all this? Did you kill Mother and Brother? I thought you just wanted to ascend the throne, but now, you are actually cooperating with people from other countries?"
“Hahahaha…hahahaha!!”
Perhaps because his hopes were dashed, Duke Girard laughed out loud in self-deprecation.
"It seems that I have been deceived by you, but it's too late! Little girl, what do you think you can do? Yes, I killed your mother and brother, but this is for the whole country! Do you know? Ever since the stone was discovered, our fate has been doomed!!"
At this point, veins popped out on Kirad's forehead, and he glared at Mira fiercely.
"You know nothing at all. You don't understand what Westbania is about to face! Yes, I am eager to become the ruler of this country, but I also don't want to be a king on a pile of ruins! But what can I do? I once told your mother that Westbania must become strong. Only in this way can it resist the threats from the outside world. But your mother..."
As he spoke, Kirad stared at Mira.
"Your mother, that stupid woman, rejected my proposal just to protect the environment. Does she really understand what this means? The environment? What a joke, if we can't protect ourselves, all of this will be completely destroyed. Me, you, and this country!!"
Kirad roared, pointing at the unconscious blond man next to him.
"They are the CIA, you know? I don't want to cooperate with them either. Do you know what conditions they put forward to me? But if I don't agree, then this country will be finished! Do you understand? That protest is just the beginning!"
"Oh, so they will fund the rebels, stir up civil unrest in the country, and then seize power, right?"
Compared to Mira who looked confused, Fang Zheng seemed calmer.
After all, the United States doesn't know how to do anything else except this.
"Yes, that's it..."
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Duke Girard smiled and stretched out his hand towards Fang Zheng.
"I don't know who you are, but I know you're very powerful. How about you rule this country with me? Since you know what I mean, you should understand that if this little girl who knows nothing is allowed to succeed to the throne, this country will be completely ruined!!"
“…”
Hearing this, Mira couldn't help but look at Fang Zheng worriedly, while Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders.
"I'm sorry. Although I understand what you mean, Her Royal Highness the Princess has already signed a contract with me, so what I have to do now is to fulfill the contract. Moreover, with me here, I believe that things will not develop to the point you think."
After saying this, Fang Zheng turned and looked at Mira.
"Okay, Princess, I don't think there's any need to look for evidence or reasoning. It's obvious that it was Duke Killard who killed your mother and brother. He just admitted it himself, so..."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng handed her the pistol.
"It's up to you to decide how this ends."
“…”
Looking at the pistol in front of her, Princess Mira was silent for a moment, then picked up the gun and walked towards Duke Girard step by step.
"Wait, wait, Mira, you're not really going to kill me."
Seeing Mira walking towards him, Duke Kirard's face changed drastically. He struggled desperately to try to retreat, but he was lying on the ground and couldn't move at all.
Mira said nothing, raised the gun in her hand, aimed at Duke Killard, and pulled the trigger.
"Bang!!"
The bullet grazed Duke Girard's ear and hit the ground, creating a streak of fire. Duke Girard seemed to be frightened, staring at the smoking muzzle of the gun in front of him.
"I'm not going to kill you here."
Mira put down the gun and stared at Duke Killard.
"I want you to stand trial. I want everyone in the country to know that it was you who killed my mother and brother! I don't care what your reasons are, whether it's for the country or your ambitions, it doesn't matter. What matters is that you killed my mother and brother, and you have to pay for it!!"
After hearing this, Duke Girard rolled his eyes and fainted.
Fang Zheng didn't take this scene to heart, but he was quite concerned about what Duke Kirard said before.
Although Kirad's tone was not very good, Fang Zheng could hear that the United States was determined to obtain Westbania, and the reason why they took action against Westbania was because of a certain stone found in Westbania?
What kind of stone is so powerful that it is more valuable than oil?
Could it be that the stones are the same as those in Area 11 in Code Geass, where the stones were used to build Gundams?
It seems that there is another secret involved.
