(Chapter 97) The Operation Behind Enemy Lines

Across the English Channel. Mr. Bagna sat in a secret base watching the movements of MI6 members drinking his tea.

"Father, how may I help?" Then walked to him a blonde man wearing a cream suit. A smile on his face and a shine in his eyes.

This man was Brad Bagna. The heir to Mr. Bagna's automobile empire. his face was cleanly shaved and he had a distinct English look for the world. Blonde and blue eyes. While it was noticeable in the sun to see his hair had streaks of red in it.

He was one of the most eligible bachelor in the world. Being covered in magazines as not only a good businessman, but also for his police work. He was even above Lewis just based on the fact his fans stretched into America.

"How can you help me? About trying to get married? Can you do that to help me?" Mr. Bagna retorted angrily. He often felt his son was born to slave himself away to the police. And he was angry that he didn't think about himself or his future.

Brad smiled. "I can't help you then. Anyway father, I got some information about the Yuke family you told me about."

Mr. Bagna's eyes then turned serious as he put down his cup. "Speak." His voice was cold.

Mr. Bagna had been amazed almost three years ago by the number of businesses entering England. When he learned they were all under the thumb of Astrid. he immediately tried to garner a positive relationship with her. All the businesses were run impeccably, no dirty work could be found on any of them. A clean reputation, and good products... Therefore, a good business partner.

But before Astrid, just five years ago, he had heard of the presence of someone named Jukovic Yuke, within the politics of the country. He never delved into politics himself. but hearing this Jukovic was into business in eastern Europe, he still wanted to have a look at him.

But he couldn't find a lot. In fact, he was found so little, he denied that man's existence. So much was talked about him, it seemed like a fairy tale.

But then, at his birthday banquet a year ago, he saw the woman he invited, Astrid. Look in the direction of a group of men talking business. He thought nothing of it at first, but then his son had told him that Jukovic Yuke was indeed a real person. And was actually a person on MI6's watchlist. A person they would need to capture one day.

He then went through with his son about the banquet, and found out, that one of those men was Jukovic Yuke. And that Astrid, the woman he admired for her business and delegation. Looked at the man coldly.

He had then proposed an proposition to Astrid. To marry his son for business, both sides would get an heir and they would work together to get rid of Jukovic Yuke.

Little did he expect the answer to be. 'No, I have another candidate to marry if I require assistance, your son would be third on the list.'

He had started to choke at those words. How could he be refused in such a way? But he never brought it up to her again.

That was until they saw each other at the Guilliano banquet, he recognized her quickly. He was going to mention it again, until he recognized the same look he had seen before.

It was clear, this Jukovic Yuke and Astrid weren't friendly, since his son was also looking into him. Then it would also be in his interests to offer something to them both.

His money and name. He had connections across the globe because of his business. He could gain someone's favor by gifting them a special edition car that wouldn't be mass-produced. And that he did.

Then his son met a hacker through his work. Apparently they had been giving his son crucial information on where to catch criminals. And Brad had even given them a special role in the team. As long as they didn't do anything illegal without authorization.

Brad then sat down opposite his father. "I found out the Yuke family used to be noble family close to the Russian crown almost 200 years ago. I couldn't find anything between then and before 1950. But in 1954 the Yuke family strangely became independent from the Russian crowns of old. Despite the family being heavily reimbursed after stepping down. Then the old Russian crown had gone... Missing. I only found some rumors that soon the Russian crown will reveal themselves once again." Brad spoke eloquently, as he slowly explained things to his father.

Mr. Bagna narrowed his eyes. The Yuke family and the royal family of Russia? If I remember the ruling name of Russia before democratic movements were..."

"Urzhokov. I have leads to believe the Urzhokov family lives in Italy in the modern-day. But we haven't found out more." Brad shook his head. A royal family falling because of the betrayal of their subfamily was something big. But newspapers of this couldn't be found anywhere, there only heard rumors from Russian officials. And spies they had planted there.

Mr. Bagna stayed quiet, he knew about Astrid's feelings to Jukovic Yuke. But was she related to the fallen Urzhokovic family? He couldn't discern this just yet.

"Alright, I'll contact some people I know, I'll get you vehicles in Russia. how many will be going?" Mr. Bagna knew, the only reason he was being told top-secret information, was because he was needed.

"We will need 8 off-road vehicles, there will be 13 of us going." Brad couldn't say any more than this, as his father nodded.

"Okay, I'll do some things on my side. Be careful out there." Mr. Bagna then stood up, as he went to walk to the elevator out.
