NOVEL WEB Chapter 459: Chapter 459: Only Griffin Doesn't Know
"What kind of bizarre world is this? Am I still asleep? Or did someone smash my head and stuff me into some strange space?"
Looking at the vast upper deck of the ship, Angelia glanced nervously at the edge of the deck.
The ship was now securely parked in the sky at an altitude of over a thousand meters. The crosswinds blowing from both sides made Angelia worry that their helicopter might be blown off the deck directly.
"Um... Angelia... can we also go in?"
Del sitting in the helicopter cockpit, asked Angelia with a slightly bluish face. Sier in the cabin didn't feel there was any problem, as she hadn't had a chance to see what the situation outside was like.
"Uh, let's go in together." Angelia sighed helplessly as she looked at M1911 waiting for them by the cabin door.
After entering the ship's cabin, the solid metal passageway and steel bulkheads immediately gave the three of them a sense of security.
As they breathed a sigh of relief, they also began to assess the condition inside the ship.
The work done by Scarecrow leading the Sangvis Ferri Dolls was very well done. There were hardly any welding marks that looked out of place in the entire passage, mainly because those areas were covered by other materials.
Combined with the bright lights in the passage and the clear signs, if they didn't know they had come by helicopter, they would probably think they were in some kind of base.
"AK12 and AN94 should be resting in the lounge now, and the Commander is waiting for you over there."
Leading the three to the door of the upper lounge, M1911 opened the door for them and then left. She still had some unfinished business to take care of.
"Wow, what a luxurious lounge! I can't imagine you, Renault, spending so much money on decoration."
As soon as they stepped into the lounge, Angelia exclaimed in surprise.
The decor of the lounge didn't look like something Renault would have designed himself.
"Not a penny spent." Renault looked at Angelia and the two behind her calmly as he stated the fact.
All the materials were moved from the abandoned hotel in the southern part of the former factory area.
Plus a few homemade components, the decoration inside the ship could be said to have cost nothing at all.
"Um... okay." Hearing Renault's words, Angelia was speechless, then looked at AK12 and AN94, "How are you two doing?"
"Pretty good, UMP45 and the others came. You're just in time." AK12 walked towards Angelia, dragging her tone as she emphasized the word 'time'.
Just in time, it was simply too timely... They were already right above them, and it would only take a few minutes to come down...
"Well, since you have time to joke around with me here, it seems there's no major problem. Let's go, let's head back." Seeing that AK12 and AN94 had only minor damage on their outerwear, Angelia also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mm-hmm." Seeing Angelia about to leave, Renault cleared his throat and gestured with his phone towards Angelia.
Rolling her eyes at Renault's antics, Angelia transferred the agreed-upon reward to Renault's account.
What a money-grubber! Couldn't he wait for just a day or two for this small amount of money?
Of course, this was just talk. It seems that ever since Renault entered this somewhat irregular line of work, there was no one who dared to owe him money anymore.
"Angelia, at this rate, we might not even have enough fuel for the helicopter."
"Um, it's not that bad, is it?"
"It is, and AK12 and AN94 still need maintenance after they return, which also requires..." Listening to Sier's enumeration of various expenses after this mission, Angelia suddenly felt a headache coming on.
This was probably the downside of operating separately from Statesec...
"Oh, by the way, Angelia, there's something else. It seems that Renault has picked up quite a few Sangvis Ferri Dolls."
During the meal earlier, AK12 naturally hadn't been idle. While the other Dolls were eating and making noise, she roughly counted the number of Dolls in Renault's house.
Of course, the Sangvis Ferri elite Dolls were the focus, as Sangvis Ferri Dolls were still assessed as extremely dangerous in Statesec's database.
Military-grade bodies, coupled with no scruples about attacking humans, if it weren't for the military dumping Sangvis Ferri's affairs onto G&K, no organization would allow Sangvis Ferri Manufacturing to continue to exist.
"We've known about this for a while... that guy, tsk! Forget it, don't worry about that man causing trouble. In the end, it's not us who will be in trouble."
Angelia didn't believe that Renault would do something that went against common sense and would cause a major security incident.
If he wanted to do those things, there was no need to rely on Dolls and the power of Sangvis Ferri.
Look at his ship. Sangvis Ferri Manufacturing didn't have the technology to make a huge ship like that fly directly into the sky.
Even the one from Svarog Heavy Industries didn't have this technology. Svarog Heavy Industries had been working on safe flying technology without satellite support since the end of the war, and the results had just come out recently.
But most of the aircraft used were not fundamentally different from the pre-war ones.
Although there were some advanced models and aircraft like Renault's ship that have flown out of a sci-fi movie...
It's impossible, it doesn't exist. If it did, Svarog Heavy Industries would have dominated the world long ago.
...
"No, haven't we already found out where AR15 is now? Why do we still need to search for AR15's traces?"
Looking at the mission briefing submitted to her neural cloud, SOP2 asked somewhat puzzled.
"Well, anyway, this is the task, but as for AR15's whereabouts, it's better for us few to know. Remember to store this information internally in your bottom level neural cloud. That way, Griffin's technicians won't have permission to access it." M16 reminded SOP2 and M4A1 quietly while there were no others around.
"But... this..."
"Alright, this is also Commander Gentiane's instruction. The fewer people who know about AR15's whereabouts, the better." Although many people already knew...
The Sangvis Ferri side must have already received the news, and AR15's movements and information were probably still under Sangvis Ferri's control. And on Persica's side, M4A1 had already contacted them before.
The only one kept in the dark was probably Griffin, the real victim.
