London.

Several Land Rover Defender SUVs drove into a private hangar at the airport with three Jaguar sedans, and on the tarmac, a Gulfstream G200 had opened its cabin door, and flight attendants stood by the spiral staircase, smiling brighter than the sun in the sky.

A member of the security forces walked up to the first Jaguar and opened the door. Finch got off the Jaguar, led Professor Christian to stand by the tarmac, watched the second Jaguar get off a few old-fashioned British gentlemen about the same age as himself, raised his hand to say hello, and several people gathered around to chat.

Next to the last Jaguar, the Ross butler signaled the security personnel who were coming to open the door not to open the door for the time being.

"Master Neo, this time I went to the American Tianmu Headquarters, I have something I want to ask you." Ross glanced out the window, and Finch was chatting happily with some of the old men, seemingly not noticing that they hadn't gotten out of the car.

Neo looked at the Habs housekeeper with some astonishment and asked, "Butler Ross, is there anything important you want?" ”

"Young Master, this time, as a member of the supervisory group, you went to Tianmu Company to supervise Long Yun's bloodline identification and evaluation on behalf of your family, and I personally have a reluctant request." He rolled his hand into a tube, put it to his mouth, and coughed slightly.

"Steward Rose, as an elder, you can tell me anything you want." Neo seemed to smell something unusual, and his gaze crossed over to Rose and landed on Finch on the tarmac, who seemed to be glancing this way as well.

Neo was a very smart guy and guessed that Rose's conversation might have something to do with Finch.

"I want you to make the test more difficult than we can negotiate in the manor." There wasn't a hint of expression on Rose's poker face.

"What!?" Neo lost his composure this time.

The phrase "making the test more difficult" has a lot of meaning, of course, it will not be the first genetic test, the procedure is the same as the physical examination, there is nothing that can be changed, it can only be said that the requirements are stricter and the inspection is more careful.

The only thing that can increase the difficulty is the talent assessment and bloodline assessment. However, in the past bloodline assessment, the assessor will follow a principle to ensure the safety of the person being assessed, and temporarily increase the difficulty of the assessment and test, which is easy to cause accidents, which will kill people.

"The new test and assessment scheme, I have written in this letter." Ross took out a white envelope from the inner pocket of his suit, handed it to Neo, and solemnly instructed: "Don't reveal it to anyone in advance, wait for the test to start, and then take it out and announce it." ”

"It's dangerous to do this, shouldn't we discuss it with Dr. Finch of the Skydome Company first?" Neo felt that this seemed to be against the king's rules, and couldn't help but say: "Although I don't like that Chinese very much, after all, he is the person recruited by the Tianmu Company, and Finch personally presided over the test, and doing this on the territory of the American Tianmu Company is probably a bit of a shame for their master." ”

"Alas......" Grand Butler Rose sighed, "my dear young master, you are still too young. Of course I have my own ideas for doing this. What does it mean not to give them face? You know, the core headquarters of the Presbyterian Church is in Europe, at Habs Manor, not in the United States, the Skylight Headquarters in Maryland, and they are only a branch at best. Ever since your dad supported Fincher's transformation of the U.S. division into Skydome, I've always felt like they're starting to get a little out of our control, especially since the Sierra Leone operation was carried out secretly without our consent. ”

Neo said secretly, it seems that the big butler of Ross is a little dissatisfied with the Tianmu Company, so he did it on purpose. He has little interest in the power struggle between the Presbyterian Church and the American Branch, and he has known since he was a child that his father had died because of the Atlantisians and that revenge was the only goal.

"However, Finch also explained this operation to my grandfather, saying that he was afraid that the news would spread too much and the news would leak out."

"My little master, so you are still naïve, and Mr. Habs is also kind, and actually believes Finch's nonsense. If it weren't for the fact that our Chipper had already calculated the secrets of Sierra Leone, I am afraid that in the end Fafnir would have managed to slip away from us before our noses. As the vice chairman of the board of supervisors, I can't let these cowboys in Tianmu mess around! Butler Ross said angrily.

Neo knew that Ross had always been very dissatisfied with the recruitment of half-bloods to serve as operatives in the Skydome Company, and in the eyes of this old-school butler, this was simply an insult to pure-bloods and a kind of "pollution", so he often compared the members of the Skydome Company to cowboys in Hollywood Westerns, who were messy, heroic, unruly, without top hats and cultivation, and simply intolerable.

"However, even if I promise you, Holt, Macaulay, and Mr. Vincent may not agree to a temporary change in the testing protocol." Neo was reluctant, so he made an excuse to shirk it.

"Young master, I think you should rest assured at this point, I have already thought about it for you, all the responsibilities are borne by me, you don't need to do anything, just say that it is my arrangement." Butler Ross pointed to the envelope, "I am issuing this plan in my capacity as vice chairman of the supervisory board, and Holt, who is also a member of the supervisory board, will absolutely obey, and I have already explained enough reasons in the letter, and they will understand it when they read it." ”

"Steward Rose, I'm just ......" Neo glanced at the red fire paint seal on the white envelope, and couldn't help but ask, "Is it necessary for us to go to such great lengths for the sake of a half-blood?" ”

Rose's face was still very solemn, and he took out a piece of paper from his pocket: "Look at this." ”

Neo took the paper suspiciously, spreading it out, revealing an analysis of the dead from Operation Paris.

"In this operation in Paris, according to reliable information, Long Yun singled out more than 20 demon assassins, and almost all of them were killed. I had a lot of questions after that, first of all, why were the demons so interested in him, and actually sent so many elites to set traps for him at one time? Secondly, what kind of talent is Long Yun? An elite assassin of a half-breed who can kill more than twenty demons, and a master assassin? ”

Neo remembered that in the waters of Freetown, when everyone was seriously injured, Long Yun took the Glamer Sword to fight Fafnir alone, and then returned to his residence, he had been staring at the Glamer Sword in a daze for a day, unable to figure out why the Habs family's sword was actually exerted by a half-breed to exert a greater effect than himself.

"Perhaps, he's just very talented, and he's better than a half-breed." His face was slightly hot, and he muttered.

"Of course not!" Grand Butler Rose suddenly became very excited, and the expression on his poker face became richer, "According to reliable information, it is said that he was trapped with Gege and the sailors during the operation of the CMC company, and entered the alchemy passage to reach the Heim Underworld, and met the snake of the atrium that has been dead for many years, Jörmungad, on the River Styx, and finally Long Yun used the power of the underworld to summon powerful undead soldiers to drag Jörmungandr into the River Styx." If you think about it, a half-blood, in the face of the god-level Atlantetic first generation of Yörmungad, can actually defeat the other party, this kind of performance simply does not exist, and there is no such record in all the classics and secret records! Young Master, allow me to remind you that the most important thing to do for something you don't know is to be vigilant! That Chinese is definitely not an ordinary half-breed, and may even be a traitor! ”

"Just because you haven't done it before doesn't mean you ...... in the future"

Neo's words were quickly interrupted, and the big butler Rose grabbed his shoulder and said excitedly, "Young master! You can't have any thoughts of mercy! It has to be done! Have you ever thought about what the consequences would be if Long Yun himself was really fine, but if he was really qualified and joined the Tianmu Company!? ”

"Butler Ross ......"

"The consequence is that a half-breed is more powerful than a pure-blood, and as the years go by, no one will take the Habbs and the Presbyterians in their eyes anymore, and it will be a loss of control for the Presbyterians and the Habbs! This is something that must not be allowed to happen! After the Doomsday War, all the former royal families have fallen, only the four pure-blood families of the Presbyterian Church have been fighting against the Restoration Society under the leadership of the Habs family, which is a dignity established with blood, and it is absolutely not allowed to be shaken by a small half-blood! For the sake of the Presbyterian Church, for the sake of the Habs, for the sake of all purebloods, and for the sake of winning this war against the Atlantestis, you, as the future head of the Habs, must do so, and it is incumbent upon you to do so! ”

Raising such a large hat, Neo couldn't find any excuse to refuse, so he nodded silently.

He knew that Butler Rose was obviously giving Finch a problem by doing this. If Finch doesn't agree, then he doesn't seem to have taken the fact that the Council of Elders is the superior in mind; If he agrees, then Long Yun will most likely die in the testing process.

It's a bureau.

Outside the window, Finch looked at his watch and looked at the Jaguar sedan where Neo and Ross were in the car, and he instinctively told himself that the people in the car were also looking at it.

He took off his top hat, smiled slightly, nodded his head in this direction, and reached out to point to his watch to remind the people in the car that the time was almost up.

The sky is blue, and this is a rare good weather in the foggy city of London.

Neo stepped out of the car, and Curtis, Lanstrow, and Michelle surrounded him, following him, and as the right-hand men of the future head of the family, Neo, the demon hunters did not leave an inch.

Rose stood beside the Jaguar sedan, his deep eyes like bottomless water, looking meaningfully at Finch who was boarding the plane, and exclaimed, "Old friend, have a good trip." ”
