After the Legend Chapter 229: Welcome to the Dark Nest

In the morning, a white light appeared on the horizon, and Alben had already got up and dressed, and had breakfast. The housekeeper found that he was in a bad mood, and he seemed to be a lot haggard, so he worriedly said: "Young master has been busy with work recently? You seem to have lost weight again."

Alben paused and replied in a low voice, "Yeah, very busy."

"No matter how busy you are, you should take care of your body." The housekeeper sighed, "Isn't the second young master of Horning's family also working in the security department? He still has time to attend a tea party at someone else's house. I heard that he was yesterday afternoon. When I got home, I went out to hunt with someone. Why is he so leisurely and you so busy?"

"He's in the Outreach Office, not like me." Alben didn't want to continue the topic, "Didn't you say last night that you bought a batch of fresh fruit from the north? We can't eat that much, so I'll send you a cart back. Mayat give them to mother. Also, buy some good clothes in the city now, and bring them back to Fanny by the way."

The butler responded quickly, "Yes, Master, I will finish it." He stepped forward and brought a glass of fresh milk to Alben, who frowned and took it and drank it.

After breakfast, Alben went back to work at the security agency. The housekeeper sighed as he watched his thinner and thinner figure disappear outside the gate.

Al was on the main road, taking a deep breath. Although it is summer, the wind in the early morning is still a bit cool. Walking in such weather is really the most suitable.

The Heda family's mansion is not a short distance from the security office. Originally, Al was going there on horseback, but I don't know when he changed to walking. Sitting behind his desk all day reading documents, he hasn't been riding and hunting for a long time like he used to. This one-and-a-half hour walk should be regarded as an exercise.

Crossing through a residential area, he walks into a narrow street. The shops on both sides of the street have already started business, and there are carts carrying and unloading goods everywhere, and people shuttle among them, occupying the street full.

Alben passed by here every day, and he was used to it. He nimbly avoided a few cars and bought two loaves of bread from a familiar shop. He was going to pay for lunch. From the glass cover of the shop window, I saw a figure behind him flashing behind a lamp post less than 20 meters away from him, and when he turned to look, it had disappeared.

He frowned. Pick up the bread and leave. Then turned into a secluded alley. when turning. He pretended to look back unintentionally. Once again, I saw the figure swaying at the entrance of the alley. It disappeared in an instant.

He starts to get nervous. Secretly clenched the dagger around his waist for self-defense. Slow down and move forward. At the same time, he raised his ears to pay attention to the movement behind him.

All but Alban and the stalker in the alley. There will be no one else. But the man didn't seem to mean unfavorably to him. Just follow slowly. But it doesn't appear. Albon listened nervously to the faint footsteps. with a unique rhythm. But always keep a distance.

He turns out of the alley. Quickly walked into the crowd in the early morning market. Head down and hurry. When he finally squeezed out of the crowd. When turning into a relatively quiet street. Finally satisfied to find that the footsteps disappeared.

Albon breathed a sigh of relief. Although I guessed that the other party should not be malicious. But being followed is always unpleasant.

Less than ten minutes walk. The faint footsteps sounded in his ears again. "Boom, boom, boom..." The rhythm is very special. He immediately became vigilant.

What's the matter? ! Didn't he get rid of that man? !

He increased his speed and walked along the avenue. After a while, the sound disappeared, but he didn't dare to let go.

Just like that, after about ten minutes, the voice appeared again. He finally couldn't help it, and when he turned a corner, he looked back quickly, only to see a dark shadow disappearing behind the building, the same one he saw when he bought bread before!

He wanted to look back angrily to find the stalker to ask, but suddenly stopped.

When the voice disappeared just now, no one followed him, but he clearly saw someone wearing the same trousers but with two different jackets, appearing behind him. Isn't this two people stalking alternately? ! He remembered that this was the habitual method used by the Security Agency! Although he has not experienced it personally, this is the content of the training course, and he remembers it clearly!

Albon immediately broke out in a cold sweat! Is the security agency following him? Why? ! Could it be...his secret was discovered? Or...they've begun to suspect him? !

Albon's heart felt as if it had fallen into a cave of ice, unable to warm even the warm summer sun.

~~~~~~I am the dividing line that changes the perspective~~~~=~========

Minna sticks her head out carefully, watching Elbon disappear around the corner, and the Security Office is not far ahead. She breathed a sigh of relief, a satisfied smile on her face.

It's so obvious, he should have noticed, right?

A head appeared behind her, and it was Alex who was dragged over by her: "I bet he must have found someone following." He pouted: "You used to be able to walk without a sound. , is it a step backward now?"

"Who said I was going backwards?" Ming Na glanced at him, "I can walk without making a sound now, I did it on purpose just now."

"On purpose?" Alex was confused. "You mean... you meant to let him know you were stalking him?! Why?"

"To remind him." Minna blinked, deliberately trying to whet his appetite and refused to explain. Alex glared at her badly, gritted his teeth and said, "I finally got a day off from my teacher, and I wanted to go home and have a good rest, but I didn't expect you to dug it out of the bed before dawn, Following behind little Heda pretending to follow the scene, and deliberately reminding him to let him know that we are following? What the **** are you doing?!”

Ming Na thought for a while, and felt a little awkward to say, so she smirked a few times, took Alex's arm, and flattered: "Don't be angry, it's rare to go to the street together, how about I invite you to eat something good? "

Regardless of how Minna coaxed Alex back, after Alben returned to the security office, he was sure that there were no stalkers behind him, but he didn't feel relieved at all.

A colleague from the Security Department is following him? Why? Was it by accident or... by order from Mallory? !

This kind of thing didn't happen before, why did it suddenly happen? Could it be... that the owner's handwritten notes were exposed? No, not possible. So... Could it be that he made an agreement with the Nuojia people...

Albon's heart was beating wildly, his hand unconsciously fiddling with the pen on the table.

He didn't see a similar report, and his colleagues in the Intelligence Section looked at him the same way. So, is the half of the security agency that he doesn't know is operating?

He has long discovered that there are forces in the Security Agency that he does not know about, and that is the real Security Agency power. He didn't forget his identity and never went to inquire about it, but he never expected to meet him today under such circumstances.

What should he do?

If... Director Leah and Mellory knew his secrets, and his family's secrets, would he still be able to stay here? Does his family... have any hope of regaining its glory?

Albon was there all day

, even work efficiency is reduced. Seeing his pale face, Mallory was too tired recently, right? Go home and rest, and leave the work to someone else. "

Albon almost jumped up, how could he think his boss's words meant something else? He stared at Mallory, and then slowly said, "Okay, I understand." After that, he turned around and handed the report to other colleagues before leaving the security department.

Malory couldn't figure out what was wrong with him, and he froze in his heart: Did something happen between him and the Nuojia people?

Alben didn't know how he got home. On the way, he found someone following behind him again, and it was the same rhythmic footsteps. This time, the other party only followed halfway and never appeared again. Alben arrived home in a daze, and locked himself in the room. No matter how the housekeeper shouted, he would not open the door. He didn't walk out of the room until nightfall, and it seemed that God had made a decision.

The next morning, he was neatly dressed and more formal than usual. He didn't even eat breakfast, he went back to the security station, then sat behind his desk and quietly packed his personal belongings. , saw Mellory coming, and followed him into the supervisor's office.

Seeing that he locked the door, Mallory raised his eyebrows: "What's the matter? Do you have something to report to me?"

"Yes." Alban took a deep breath and put several old letters and a black notebook in front of him, "I'm here to repent, and at the same time... also to confess..."

Mallory grabbed the letters slowly, opened one, and opened the notebook again.

While he was doing these things, Elben had been watching, feeling very tired: "Duke Norgadi Jada came to me and showed me a few letters. He said it was all It was written by my father before his death, and it clearly proves his sin. If I don't want the letter to be published, I will cooperate with him."

"You agreed?"

"I can't help but say yes!" Albon covered his face with one hand, "I've come this far, people are about to forget the past, and I don't want them to remember. But I don't want to betray the country either. , Betrayed the Security Agency, I don't know what to do, so I can only temporarily promise him, and then reveal some irrelevant information to him. He gave me a few letters, I burned two, but he still has the most important letter. Didn't give me..."

"You stupid boy!" Mallory glared at him, "He won't give it to you unless he's sure you're useless, and if he's a vicious person, maybe he'll take this one The incident threatens you to continue working for him, and when he no longer needs you, we will hand over all the evidence to us, so that you will never be able to stand up again!"

"I know..." Alben couldn't help choking out, "I just wanted to hold him back and think of a way to do it slowly. Your Excellency, I've been really miserable these days..." He wanted to cry . He could feel that Mallory's scolding actually meant that he had forgiven himself, and the burden on his heart suddenly disappeared. How could he not sigh? He really felt that he had chosen to confess, which was an extremely correct decision.

Malory didn't disturb his tears, just silently flipping through the notes in his hand, his face was very calm, but his slightly trembling hands revealed the shock and excitement in his heart.

When Alben's cry subsided, he asked: "This book...what's the matter? It's your father's relic? Why haven't you mentioned it before?"

"I didn't know it before, I just discovered it by accident recently." Alben wiped away his tears and repeated the story of Princess Stella's theft, and added, "I think she is very suspicious. , My father once mentioned this handbook to Jiaren before his death, and Duke Jada should know about it. They wanted to, why didn't they mention it to me directly? Duke Jada threatened me with my father's letter, and then asked Isn't it superfluous that the nobles have given a lot of gifts, including most of the people on this list? I don't know how."

Mallory thought thoughtfully: "Princess Stella?" He lowered his head and thought for a while before he got up and locked the letter and notebook into a huge black filing cabinet, locked it with four locks, and turned back to say hello Alban: "You go somewhere with me."

"Yes." Alben hesitated, "Your Excellency..."

Mallory looked back: "What's wrong?"

"What are you going to do with those people? Are you going to... go all into the Ballasguet or... just get rid of their titles?" Albon was a little nervous, although he made a choice, he still didn't want to cause a turmoil himself , "In any case, they are just dissatisfied with some of His Majesty's decisions, but they are all aristocratic families that have existed since the founding of the country."

Mallory thought for a moment, then smiled slightly: "Don't worry about them. His Majesty the King is a merciful and sensible person who will not cause turmoil in the situation. He just doesn't want the country's progress to be hindered, but he doesn't. I am obsessed with blood." He glanced at the filing cabinet with deep meaning: "With this evidence, I believe that His Majesty's recent troubles can also be resolved.

I think that once some people know that their incriminating evidence is exposed, they will be more willing to behave a little more peacefully than to lose their lives. "

Before Albon could figure out what he meant, Mallory walked into his private retreat, flipped the switch, revealing a large hole in the wall, and turned back to signal, "Follow me, wait a minute. For a while, whatever you see, don't tell the second person."

Albon opened his eyes wide, followed behind Mellory obediently, walked into the big hole, and slowly descended along the stone steps~IndoMTL.com~ found himself in a low tunnel, with walls on both sides The surface is very rough, and when you apply it, your hands are covered with plaster, as if it was just built.

After walking in the tunnel for less than two minutes, he heard the sound of building walls and knocking. As he got closer, he realized that it was two middle-aged men who were building a stone staircase. This is already the end of the tunnel, and the project is still not over, because the stone ladder has not been built, and only a wooden ladder leads to the two-meter-high exit.

The two men heard footsteps, looked up at them, nodded to Mallory, and resumed their work. McLory climbed the ladder with some difficulty, and Alben quickly helped him, and then helped him out from the exit.

Outside is a cellar with an oil lamp lit in broad daylight. Going up the stairs, they came to the ground.

Alben found that this was a small building, and the scene outside the window was very familiar, and it seemed to be behind the security office. The interior of the building is very simple, except for the bookshelves and bookcases, there are several large desks, three people look at them in surprise, one of them, he recognizes as a trainer who has just retired.

What's going on here? where is this place?

"Malory? You came just in time, I was looking for you!" A female voice came from upstairs, Elben turned his head and found that it was the girl he had seen in the corridor of the Intelligence Department.

She blinked when she saw him, and seemed a little surprised, but when she looked at Mallory, there was more of a smile in her eyes: "You finally brought him, so he confessed to you. now?"

Malory snorted: "Little devil." He turned his head, smiled and winked at Alben, who looked surprised, and spread his hands: "Welcome to the dark nest."

Alben looked at the people around him who were smiling at him, and suddenly felt the urge to cry again.
