Chapter 148: The Mask Worn (8/10)
Barrerus's face was cloudy, as if considering the credibility of Longinus's words.
And Longinus did not persecute him, the other party faced the threat of death before, and he was unwilling to tell his identity, indicating that he could not believe the identities of the two of them for the time being.
This is actually understandable, as an undercover agent's basic literacy, is that you must not trust others, even if the other party's position looks the same as your own.
So, Longinus took the most straightforward approach.
A white bug against eavesdropping is set aside, and the dial is started with a normal bug.
"Hey, is it a Warring States general?"
"It's me, Colonel Longinus, in the North Sea, there's nothing worth calling me on purpose, right?"
Barrerus's eyes widened, is this headquarters colonel of such a high status? This is a direct call to the Warring States General?
"I have a question for you, Sengoku General, do you know the person Dieses Barreros?"
ββ¦β¦ Well! Former Colonel of the Navy Headquarters, why did he suddenly mention him? β
"When I was exterminating pirates in the North Sea, I happened to run into this former naval colonel, and I accidentally discovered that he may still have some connection with the headquarters, so I planned to inquire about you. If he hadn't been sent out by the headquarters, then I would have executed this navy disgrace on the spot! β
"Ahem...... Wait a minute! The voice from the phone bug suddenly lowered, "Is there anyone else around you?" β
"In addition to me and Colonel Barrerus, Gion is here."
"Gion? Isn't she supposed to be in the 777 branch? How did it come to you? β
Hearing the surprised tone of the Sengoku general, Gion Qiao blushed with shame, and a white mist almost appeared on her face, and even her eyes turned into the shape of a beanie.
"Well, I have a rough idea of why she's there!" Before Longinus could explain, Sengoku's helpless voice had already come, "It's okay if it's just the two of you, Colonel Barrelus, are you on the phone?" β
"Yes! Sengoku General! Barreirus saluted and replied excitedly.
"Both of them can be trusted, Colonel Barrerus, tell me who you really are!"
"Yes!" Barrerus's deep voice was mixed with irrepressible excitement, "M (Navy) Β· C (number) - 00532, Colonel Barreirus of the Navy Headquarters, is a navy! β
Longinus bent down and apologized, "Colonel Barrerus, I'm sorry for what happened before!" β
Gion also hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I hurt you just now." β
"It's none of your business, it's me who didn't identify myself." Barrerus's gloomy face also softened a lot, this kind of thing is undercover, which can really destroy a person's heart.
Sengoku's deep voice came from the phone bug again, "Colonel Barrerus's mission is to secretly infiltrate the Don Quixote family, collect and sort out some of the big names who secretly colluded with Doflamingo, as well as the list of all the trading partners, and then, completely uncover the dark side of the North Sea." β
Barreirus said with a look of shame, "It's a pity, we all thought wrong, I thought that the arrogant pirates like Doflamingo would not miss the opportunity to attack the power of the navy, who knows, my past experience has made the Don Quixote family suspicious." β
"After going back and forth, I can only temporarily put aside my plan to enter the Don Quixote family, so as not to be too eager and be seen by them as flawed."
Longinus's expression was a little subtle, such a thing as attacking the might of the navy, a colonel of the headquarters is still not qualified, at least at the level of the rear admiral of the headquarters.
What's more, there is nothing wrong with Doflamingo's arrogance, but he is also a person whose interests are paramount, and there is nothing good about it, so why should he fight the power of the navy?
Just because he was chased by Lieutenant General Tsuru for a while?
No kidding!
Putting aside his own arrogance and contempt, Doflamingo was a very forgiving man.
Just like Longinus remembers, the future Golden Emperor Tezzolo stole his golden fruit, but after realizing Tezzolo's potential, Doflamingo quickly chose to cooperate with Tezzolo.
At this time, Sengoku's voice came from the phone bug, "Colonel Barrerus, after this incident, you can come back with a different identity, I have found another candidate who is more suitable for this task." β
Longinus was silent, and thought to himself, "Is the more suitable candidate Corazon?" I remember that he seems to have returned to the Don Quixote family in 1505 of the Lunar Calendar, that is, the mission that had been carried out by Barreurus until then? β
For undercover agents, giving up the lurking and returning to the light should have been something they couldn't ask for.
But Barreirus roared excitedly, "Warring States General, give me a chance, please give me another chance!" Although I have not been able to enter the Don Quixote family, I have found a way for him to trade underground, and as long as I can get a certain amount of treasure, I will definitely be able to establish a trading relationship with him! β
"Colonel Barrerus, don't worry, you can also contribute to the Navy in other ways when you come back."
"But, I can't go back, I can't go back!" Barreirus hugged his head in pain, "My hands are already covered with blood, and now I am just a despicable pirate." β
After wearing the mask for a long time, it can't be taken off, and it is already deeply embedded in the flesh and blood!
The phone bug was very silent, and as an admiral, he couldn't say anything against his will to comfort the other party.
Barreirus laughed miserably, "So, Sengoku General, please let me continue the mission, this is the only motivation I can make my heart beat!" β
"I see." Sengoku said in a low and solemn tone, "Colonel Barrerus, the light of the North Sea is in your hands!" β
"Yes!"
"So, do you have any other wishes?" Sengoku understands the other party's thoughts, and if the mission fails, he will naturally die, and when the mission is completed, he will have no motivation to live.
"I hope that my son Dolly can join the Navy and replace me to fulfill my dream when I was young!"
"I remember, when you were in the training camp, your dream was to become a general in the headquarters, right?"
"Yes! When I was young, I always thought that as long as I worked hard, I would be able to do it! Thinking about it now, it is indeed a very naΓ―ve and very bad dream. But Dorian may be able to do it, with a terrible father like me, and he can always be firm in his heart, he will definitely become a great navy in the future! β
After being speechless for a while, Sengoku sighed, "Colonel Longinus, can you please take that young man named Dolly with you first?" β
"If Colonel Barreirus doesn't dislike my humble position, there will be no problem." can take the future supernova Drake under his command, and Longinus will naturally not refuse.
"Where." Barreirus is also a human spirit, so he naturally saw Longinus' position in the department, "It is Dolly's luck to have Colonel Longinus to teach." β
"Good luck, then, Colonel Barrerus!" Sengoku sighed and hung up the phone.
