You Have Science, I Have Martial Arts-Chapter 638 - 284: When Our Eyes Met, I Knew You Were the One I Wanted to Kill
Shadow Mechanism Bureau, Falan Division.
The morning sunlight filtered through the clouds, shining on the solid walls of Bailu Palace, making the Romanesque design of arches, domes, and murals appear classical and elegant.
A few white doves leapt from the windowsill and flapped their wings up to the branches, their eyes clear and lively, embodying Falan’s unique sense of relaxation.
Unfortunately, today’s bureau had none of its usual leisure and peace.
Director Oudeli looked at the report in his hands with a somber expression: "So, last night we lost one Silver Level, two Bronze Levels, and over twenty plainclothes agents, and we didn’t even find out who the opponent is?"
"Cough, cough, Your Excellency, Director, we’ve investigated clearly. The opponent is a Dongji native..."
"Damn it! Dongji Kingdom has 1.4 billion people!"
Oudeli removed his glasses from his nose, the mighty power of thought ability almost exploding on the spot, but alas, apart from getting angry, he had no other solution.
The Shadow Mechanism Bureau is a special institution made up of 28 member countries in Europe, with functions similar to the Martial Arts Association of the Dongji Kingdom, specializing in managing martial artists within Europe.
Because the member list is often very secretive and identities aren’t disclosed to the public, akin to ’shadows’ without identities, the Shadow Mechanism Bureau is also jokingly called the ’Shadow Mechanism’ by the outside world.
But compared to the Martial Arts Association, the ’Shadow Mechanism’ has a more loosely organized structure, with its main members coming from various civilian organizations, creating chaotic management, overlapping authorities, and a complete mess in intelligence.
Especially over the years, due to a lack of funds, the entire ’Outland’ is growing increasingly inefficient and overstaffed.
In fact, if it wasn’t for the kidnapped person being the third heir of the Louis Family, not to mention a Bronze Level, the Out Alliance probably wouldn’t even dispatch a Black Iron Level enforcer.
"What the hell is the intelligence department doing! Sending people on missions without proper pre-assessment, and now we haven’t rescued the hostage, instead losing a Silver Level?"
Oudeli continued to rage, determined not to take the blame for this fiasco.
A Silver Level Blood Race Count had died, and the repercussions of this event were terrible. Who knows how the Red Moon Order and the Blood Fang Brotherhood would stir things up.
The Blood Race is unquestionably the upper class in Europe, with many high-level Blood Race members mingling in political and business circles, their networks spanning across Europe.
"Has the latest combat power evaluation report on the target come out?"
"It’s out."
The technical analysis department hurriedly stood up and reported: "Based on the Life Energy Level Index exhibited during combat, it is recommended to escalate the case to an AAA level event. To be cautious, at least three High-Tier Silver Level powerhouses must be dispatched."
High-Tier Silver Level, with cultivation equivalent to Martial Artists of the Heaven-Ascending Sixth Layer Realm.
In Europe, the Out Alliance categorizes events primarily into five levels: D, C, B, A, and S, where D-Level corresponds to severe violent crimes that ordinary law enforcement cannot handle, such as heavily armed terrorists.
And events above C-Level are for targeting populations with extraordinary powers.
C-Level events require Black Iron Level powerhouses, B-Level requires Bronze Level powerhouses, and A-Level requires Silver Level powerhouses.
S-Level is the highest level, needing a Golden Martial Saint to suppress it.
If an event surpasses SSS Level, it generally involves Gods or Mythical Life, entirely beyond what the Shadow Mechanism Bureau can handle, so no contingency plans are made.
Clearly, Fabio’s death had the Out Alliance extremely anxious, and if not for insufficient authority, Oudeli would desperately want to dispatch a Golden Martial Saint for strong suppression.
Unfortunately, after Zhangg Xinwu’s turmoil, many of Europe’s Golden Level powerhouses were critically injured or killed, leaving resources stretched thin. Without sufficient justification, the Out Alliance division simply doesn’t have the authority to deploy a Golden Martial Saint.
Even the three High-Tier Silver Levels needed for this mission, two of them were just newly arrived external reinforcements to the Fashion Capital.
......
Champs Elysees Avenue, Le Bristol Hotel.
The ’Palace Level’ decoration was extremely luxurious, and the excellent service gave guests a sense of being at home.
Of course, good things are often very expensive.
Here, a night’s stay costs as much as an ordinary person’s monthly salary.
However, for Delphine and Vivian, this wasn’t a problem. No matter how much they spend, they could always get reimbursed for their travel expenses from the Shadow Mechanism.
In the bathroom, the sound of running water slowly emerged.
In the mist, a beauty with ivory-like skin was washing her flawless white body with hot water, her figure slender, her curves nearly perfect, with the grace of an elegant cat.
"Delphine."
"What’s up?"
Hearing Vivian calling her, Delphine wrapped herself in a towel, wiping her curly red hair while curiously asking, "What’s going on?"
"New mission."
Vivian sat on the soft bed with her snow-white long legs crossed, her long beautiful legs supple and full, round and firm.
She held a tablet and handed it to Delphine: "Target Ye Jian, reportedly a swordsmanship expert from Dongji Kingdom, has already killed a Silver Level Blood Race Count from the Shadow Mechanism and two Bronze Level Combat Wizards."
"Ugh, this is going to be troublesome for me..."
Delphine couldn’t help but complain: "We’ve been exhausted chasing the ’Gourmet’ all the way to the Fashion Capital, and now we have to deal with this kind of extra hassle? I really want to take a vacation, ahhh!"
