Chapter 241: Please Mind Your Quality
It was 5 AM in Japan, and London was just entering late night.
Chi Feichi continued talking on the phone, considering...
The call charges should be reimbursed by the Organization!
The surveillance network had already been cast last night.
There was more than one Underling monitoring the two targets. Three monitors were placed on each side, and the monitors did not know of each other's existence.
He needed to grasp the correct information through the reports of six people.
There was a problem with the reports. Among the three people monitoring Lister, two said Lister was at a bar and had a phone call with his Superior, but the other said he was at another bar.
Chi Feichi didn't say anything, hung up the phone, and sent an email to Angrboða, telling Angrboða to go to the two bars to confirm the situation.
Three people, two of them had the same statement, but the other said he was in another place. Truly amazing.
Who was lying? Confirming it was enough. The liar should also be disposed of by Angrboða by the way.
In the email, Chi Feichi also specifically reminded Angrboða to be careful of traps, and not to go into the bar to confirm himself. Buying off a Vagrant or a Punk was enough.
Additionally, the Sniper should also be notified to set up sniping for Angrboða as a lookout.
There was a problem on Lister's side, so he could only put it aside temporarily. Chi Feichi contacted another Unlucky Person.
"Hello?"
"It's me," Chi Feichi said in a hoarse voice.
Morton immediately recognized the voice. "Did you utilize the intelligence I provided to kill the MI6 Agent? What kind of people are you? And what do you want to do!"
Chi Feichi's tone was calm. "It wasn't us who killed her, it was you."
"#&—%..."
The other party cursed a string of swear words, muttering indistinctly about things like FUCK and devil. The emotion was very agitated.
Chi Feichi listened for a bit. Seeing that the other party didn't speak out anymore, he continued, "As an MI6 Investigator, please mind your quality."
"#&—%..." Again, another string of curses.
Morton there was again surprised and angry.
A few days ago, the wind was gentle and the sunshine was beautiful. Everything was so beautiful.
Just this Man with a hoarse and unpleasant voice suddenly made a phone call, recounting how during his school days, due to rebellion, he had interaction with the Gang, threatened Classmates he disliked, and betrayed a female Classmate causing the other party to fall into the Gang's devil's grasp. He also threatened him to provide a piece of information, otherwise he would leak these things.
If his embarrassing past were leaked, then MI6 might let him go.
Even if they don't let him go, in MI6, he is famously sunshine and upright. If his Colleagues knew about those matters, he wouldn't have the face to stay in MI6 anymore.
He didn't want to leave!
Originally, he thought it was just confirming whether the deployment had changed, and not leaking the deployment situation. It was nothing. The outcome was, he actually indirectly killed an elite Female Agent!
If his Superior knew, it wouldn't be as simple as letting him go. He would be captured!
Moreover, he was clear that extortion was just like a vampire. Generally, if they don't suck the blood dry from the extortion target, the other party will not stop.
Ruined, his future is completely ruined!
Talking about quality with him now? To hell with quality!
Chi Feichi listened in silence. After the other party there quieted down, he continued, "If you can't calm down, then we don't need to talk anymore. The matter of you betraying your Colleague will be known by your Superior and Colleague later..."
"Wait!" Morton took a deep breath. "How will you let go of me?"
"Mutual benefit," Chi Feichi said. "I will provide you with the intelligence you need, for example, a certain Criminal's Hideout. You can borrow this to continue climbing upwards in MI6. And you, as long as you continue to provide me with intelligence when I need it, that's enough. Of course, it's not limited to me. Someone will contact you then."
"Are you treating me as your Undercover Agent placed in MI6?" Morton wasn't stupid and quickly understood.
"You can say so, but you're not at a loss, are you?" Chi Feichi was still calm. "You can borrow our strength to rise step by step, gaining wealth, status, and power that you didn't have previously. I also won't say anything about you providing me with intelligence. That has no benefit for me. This way, others will never know what you've done."
"I..." Morton hesitated. "I'll consider a bit..."
"I need the answer now," Chi Feichi didn't give the other party time to consider or calm down. "Or do you think you can gain everything with so-called justice? Morton, be realistic. If you refuse now, it will only send you to Prison."
The other party there was silent for a bit. "Okay, as long as you promise to help me and don't say anything..."
"Of course, as long as I see your sincerity..."
Chi Feichi hung up the phone and sent Rum's email address, asking the other party to provide some MI6 intelligence.
The rest was Rum's matter.
If Morton provided false intelligence, or half-true, half-false intelligence, attempting to deceive or bluff his way through, and warnings were ineffective, Rum would directly give up and dispose of the person.
And if Morton provided true intelligence, whether he provided it straightforwardly or hesitantly, a fatal leverage was already in the Organization's hand.
One compromise, and there might be more compromises.
Once this kind of person falls into Hell, it's difficult to climb out again.
Chi Feichi sent an email to Rum explaining the situation, then turned around and went to the Living Room to light a cigarette, and then continued to the Balcony, waiting for Angrboða to contact him.
This should be considered his and Rum's first cooperation action.
Whether it's Lister or Morton, as long as they reach a long-term cooperation agreement, they are considered Peripheral Members.
These two people are currently mainly his and Rum's. Others will not have the contact information for these two people, unless they cooperate in action again.
For example, if Gin wants to cause trouble in MI6, and The Boss asks him to assist, he will provide the contact information to Gin. Afterwards, Gin won't use it much.
In other words, these two people are considered people from the Organization. Further downwards, they are shared by him and Rum.
If Morton can pass Rum's test, obediently entrust the leverage to the Organization's hand, and utilize the intelligence provided by the Organization to slowly climb to the high-level members of MI6, then Morton will become a Core Member and catch The Boss's eye.
Although broadly speaking, they are still under his and Rum's dispatch, others won't interfere. But the difference is, now, if he and Rum send Morton to his death, no one will care. Disposing of him is nothing. Even if his value is insufficient, he doesn't care, and Rum doesn't care either. However, as long as Morton becomes a Core Member, and his value is sufficient, whether to send him to his death or execute him requires careful consideration. It can't be too casual. At least, an explanation must be given to The Boss, and it must also be considered whether it is worth sending an intelligence agent who is a mole in MI6 to his death.
This is just the best kind of situation. In this process, Morton might have second thoughts, might not be able to climb upwards, lose value on a certain day, and then be disposed of.
In short, it's just casting a net and waiting to see if the fish can grow up.
As for Lister's side, there is already a problem. Perhaps it's just one or two Underlings who have developed second thoughts, or perhaps...
Chi Feichi looked at his mobile phone, looking into the distance, silently calculating the time in his heart.
Before dawn is the most darkness.
The lights of countless homes extinguished, a stretch of silence. The sky hadn't brightened yet. A few Street Lamps in the distance lonely illuminated the empty Road.
If it's the second speculation, Angrboða might stumble if he's not careful. He is offline in London. He needs to judge the probable situation based on the time...
The longer the time, the more complex the situation indicates. If there is no reply after more than two hours, then it can be judged that Angrboða has failed.
After more than an hour, Angrboða finally replied with a phone call.
"Raki, it's me."
"What's the situation?"
"I didn't go in. I spent money to have two Drunkards scout out the situation. The target is at Blue Count. As for the other bar, someone followed that Drunkard after he came out."
"Did those two Drunkards grasp your situation?"
"I used disguise. Those two Drunkards drank quite a bit. They should not have grasped any of my information."
"Okay, you immediately retreat."
Chi Feichi hung up the phone, told the Sniper to retreat also, and sent an email to Rum.
[Lister there failed, Randolph has a problem, confirm Angrboða's safety situation—Raki]
[I will handle it!—RUM]
His and Rum's cooperation action this time was that Rum was responsible for releasing the news, he was responsible for the operation plan and confirming the situation in the middle, and the final clean up action was entrusted to Rum.
Intelligence investigation, working together, running after finishing. That's the Organization's style.
This action was quite sloppy. Logically speaking, he shouldn't remote control command everything. He should follow the progress a bit. When taking action, dispatch sufficient personnel. After confirming, those who should retreat, retreat. Those who should be cleaned up, arrange for cleaning up. Retreat after cleaning up is finished.
He is offline in London. The people he can dispatch currently are just the few he knew last time. He can only do it this way. This is probably also the reason for letting Rum participate.
But then again, if not for his special situation, Rum also wouldn't be able to get involved.
Want to place a mole in MI6? Go arrange it yourself!
These two people are the follow-up to his last action. Taking over also has to be done by him.
Of course, as an Undercover Agent, he doesn't care if Rum took advantage of the opportunity. Having someone clean up the aftermath is a good deed. He doesn't need to command murder.
Looking at the situation now, MI6 or a third-party force is involved on Lister's side.
Perhaps Lister couldn't withstand the pressure and asked for external support and turned Randolph, who was monitoring him. Or perhaps Randolph himself was a person from MI6. During surveillance, he communicated with Lister and set up a trap, preparing to capture the Organization Member who was confirming which intelligence was true.
No need to figure it out.
Randolph, as an Underling, grasped some of the Organization's situation, and also lied and betrayed the Organization. He will definitely be cleaned up by people sent by Rum.
And Lister didn't have much contact with the Organization. At most, he knew there was a bastard with a hoarse voice who threatened him into betraying MI6.
Whether or not to solve Lister depends on Rum's mood and the action difficulty. If he's really unhappy or the difficulty isn't high, disposing of him by the way is also possible.
Additionally, the only people who knew the Organization had investigated Morton were him and another Core Member. Morton's news was provided by that Core Member. Temporarily, there is no need to handle anything.
Finished, job done.
Chi Feichi took a final glance at the morning sunlight brightening the horizon, turned around and returned to the Living Room.
If it was MI6 interfering on Lister's side, when MI6 discovers the Organization intends to plant moles among their Bottom Floor Agents, they should search internally to check if anyone else besides Lister has been 'hooked' by the Organization.
Morton perhaps can dodge MI6's search, perhaps not.
This has nothing to do with him, but Morton will definitely be tagged by the Organization with 'High Attention'.
Because who knows if, after MI6 finds out Morton betrayed information, they will give up on handling him and instead persuade Morton to play along and become a counter-Undercover Agent against the Organization?
Also because of this, he is unwilling to believe in the internal safety of the National Police Agency.
There are Undercover Agents from other factions within the Organization. Other factions might not necessarily be without Undercover Agents from the Organization. High-level members might be difficult to approach, but the Bottom Floor is uncertain.
Spies are rampant. Perhaps there are even double agents. Until the end, who knows whether it's human or ghost.
