In 2004.

  At this time, it has been three years since the largest criminal organization in Europe, 'Lucifer', first appeared in front of the public. Many governments have reported being attacked by this organization, causing the EU to lose billions of euros. The famous intelligence organization MI6 spent three years still can't being able to uproot the organization, only dismantling a few outposts controlled by Lucifer. In fact, Lucifer had already established similar outposts in the UK, and most of MI6's actions were anticipated in advance and countermeasures were taken. In the end, under pressure, MI6 had to lower its profile and seek help from the EISC.

  At this time, the chairman of the EISC was Alfonso Pizarro, who immediately instructed Charles' team to take action upon receiving this commission. They have actually been investigating 'Lucifer' for nearly three years and have found many clues that MI6 was unable to uncover. But in order to maximize their utilization, they did not contribute these clues. Finally, they have a chance to showcase themselves.

  The initial location of the operation was Genoa, an ancient city with a long history in Italy. The intelligence personnel of the committee discovered that members of the "Lucifer" organization were gathered in a luxury hotel. Jefferson de Lasse, as the overall commander of this operation, mobilized many Grey Runners under his command. Of course, including Frank Worden.

  At this time, Frank was already well-known, and almost all the members of the committee knew his name and temper.

  Frank always likes to act like a lone wolf, solving everything alone and involving others is a way for him to hold back. And due to the maturity of his own values, he will not continue with any behavior he deems unfair. So people often see Frank suddenly quitting halfway through working for others, because what he was going to do had already violated his moral bottom line.

  It is also because of his upright, unrestrained, and unconventional personality that many people who like bureaucracy and formalism are dissatisfied and resentful of him. But they had nothing to do with him, not only because Charles, a high-ranking and powerful person, was there to protect him, but also because Frank was invincible that no one dared to provoke him. Except for some stubborn people.

  Grane: "So, Frank. Would you be willing to cooperate with us in launching a surprise attack? Or are you planning to solve them all by yourself? "

  Frank: "Didn't he say to keep the survivors alive? If he hadn't mentioned this premise, I wouldn't have needed you a bunch losers. Especially you, Mark."

  Grane: "What's wrong with me? "

  Frank: "Do you remember last time? When you were considering whether to shoot or not, that bastard had already slipped away under your nose and you didn't do anything."

  Grane: "But at least he led me to a bigger target. Unlike you, who always like to shoot first and then ask questions. What if he accidentally kills someone?"

  Frank: Have you ever seen me make a mistake before? Oh, I forgot. You useless person don't have the qualifications to see me make a move yet!"

  Seeing that the two were about to clash, Jefferson, as the commander, immediately rushed over to stop them.

  Jefferson: "Alright, calm down! Leave your anger on the enemies on the battlefield. All ears clear, our top priority is to capture their leader, Mr. Macedonia. I want him to be alive, you can break his legged, paraluze his arms, but keep his lungs and tongue functional. See? Blackjack, you lead the people from Alpha team to guard the east; Grace, you take the Bravo team to the west. Then there's Ghost Wolf, you disguise yourself as a hotel staff member, infiltrate their floor first, and report their situation at any time. Wait for them to come down and proceed all the way to the hall. We will listen to your signal again and take action. "

  Frank: "Copy that."

  Jefferson: "Move out."

  The whole operation went smoothly at the beginning. Frank arrived outside the private room where Mr. Macedonia and his team were located and secretly entered the unmanned room next to them. The eavesdropping device with a camera was routed along the ventilation duct to the next room, obtaining a picture of the entire room and beginning to eavesdrop on their conversation. But not long after, the Italian leader holding an MP7 submachine gun, Mr. Macedonia, suddenly received a mysterious phone call. He didn't listen for long before hanging up, and immediately asked his subordinates to raise their guard. They cautiously went to the door of the room to take a look, then raised their guns and pushed the door open before walking out.

  Frank: "They seem to have anticipated it, be prepared."

  The Grey Runners downstairs are getting ready to go. And Mr. Macedonia and his team first took the stairs to the middle floor, then suddenly stopped and collectively came to the sightseeing spot in the middle of this floor. In front of everyone, they smashed the sightseeing glass with guns. The other crowds were scared and scattered, but Frank immediately realized what they were going to do.

  Frank: Damn it! Send someone up, they're running away!"

  Jefferson: Damn it, Alpha team, reinforcement Ghost Wolf! Move!"

  Blackjack and the Alpha team immediately rushed into the hotel with guns and began moving rapidly towards the middle floor. Frank gave up his disguise and charged towards Mr.Macedonia with two guns to start fighting with them.

  At this time, Mr. Macedonia's subordinates were already secured with ropes, and he was the first to bear the brunt. He immediately grabbed the ropes and descended from upstairs at high speed. After pressing down on Frank, other subordinates also began to approach the ropes and escape from the floor with Mr. Macedonia.

  Upon seeing it, Grane and the others below immediately took out their guns and fired at them. Several subordinates were hit and instantly fell to their deaths, while Mr. Macedonia took out a grenade launcher and fired several smoke grenades at the person holding the gun below. Grane and the others were instantly obscured by smoke, until Mr. Macedonia landed right on their heads and quickly used body techniques to knock them down.

  At the same time, upstairs, Blackjack and the others had just arrived when they saw Frank drop his gun and rush towards the enemy who had escaped at all costs. He instantly knocked down the enemy and fell out with him.

  Blackjack: "Holy shit! Frank!"

  After Frank flew out of the floor, he quickly grabbed the nearby rope and slid down smoothly to reach the ground.

  When he found Grane, he found that he and his men had been ambushed, and Mr. Macedonia and two enemies were fleeing on foot.

  Frank: "What the fuck are you doing? Go chase them!"

  Grane: "He's got a goddamn grenade launcher!"

  Frank: "And what you got? Toy guns?!"

  Grane was not interested in arguing with him, so he quickly got up and chased after Frank.

  They pursued Mr.Macedonia through Genoa's Old Port, cornering him inside a derelict warehouse.

  When they into the warehouse, Grane was constantly on edge, but Frank started talking to him at this moment.

  Frank: "You should’ve stayed outside. Let me flush him out."

  Grane: "And let you take all the credit? We split up."

  Frank: "The second I leave, you'll get your head blown off in some corner."

  Grane: "Yeah, right."

  Then, Frank really separated from him at another corner, and Grane didn't even realize it. The whole house was terrifyingly quiet, except for the sound of police sirens and the shouting of the crowd outside, Grane couldn't hear anything clearly. Soon, he entered a spacious room with multiple load-bearing columns. His sixth sense told him that Macedonia was hiding here. And just as he was exploring deep inside, a figure quietly followed him from behind.

  At this moment, Grane sensed someone appearing behind him, and through the reflection of the glass next to him, he saw that the person was Mr.Macedonian ‘s henchman, aiming behind him. The next second, he saw Frank appear behind Mr.Macedonia himself, holding a sharp axe and trying to attack him.

  Grane suddenly turned around and took out his gun to shoot at the enemy behind him. Frank threw an axe behind the enemy's back. The other party let out a scream, and the SMG in their hand went off and fired a round. Upon seeing this, Grane immediately rolled and dodged the bullet, while Frank pushed the axe deeper and deeper, finally tearing it apart with force, completely defeating the opponent.

  Frank pulled out the axe and looked at Grane next to him.

  Frank: "What did I just say?"

  Grane: "Hmph!"

  At this moment, Frank sensed with his peripheral vision that there were two other people's shadows in the room. The next second, the two suddenly jumped sideways from different directions, just like Max Payne. Frank immediately shouted at Grane.

  Frank: "Get down!"

  He grabbed Grane and dragged him behind the pillar to hide. Then came a barrage of gunfire, and Grane was almost ambushed and killed by these two people. Frank didn't continue to cower behind, took a flashball from Grane, pushed it away, and threw it backwards. After a crisp explosion, Frank jumped out with a USP. He take two shots, and heard the sound of two people falling to the ground. He then raised his gun and went out to check.

  Both enemies were knocked out by Frank alone. However, he seemed to have hit too accurately, hitting one of them on the head but leaving the other person as a punching hole. Perhaps he didn't see the identities of the two just now. The one he killed happened to be Mr. Macedonia, while the other was just a henchman of Mr. Macedonia.

  Grane: "Holy...You just killed him?! Didn't you even see who it was?!"

  Frank: "Uh huh, fuck it! At least there's still one left, right?"

  Return to the luxury hotel. Under the guise of Interpol, Jefferson has instructed local police to seal off the entire area. He and other Grey Shadow travelers returned to the room where Macedonia was originally located and began a thorough search here, but found nothing. There's no other way, they can only return to their mobile base and try to extract the corresponding intelligence from the person Frank caught.

  As expected，The intimidation and temptation of the Grey Runners made the survivor tell the truth. Lucifer already knows the background of some members of the committee, and they are about to target them. Then they set their sights on Milan, Florence, and Rome.

  Frank: Milan? Rita seems to be there."

  Jefferson:"Since when do you track her movements?"

  Frank: "She mentioned it last week."

  Jefferson: (Eyebrow raised) "You two sharing itineraries now?"

  Frank: "Hey! The point is—that little bastard said they know the location of some of our personnel and may engage in hostile actions against them to threaten the safety of the organization."

  Jefferson: "Do you want me to send you to protect her?"

  Frank: "I didn't ask for that. You call."

  Jefferson: "Fine, you go alone. If anything happens to her, or if she says you're do something bad to her...."

  Frank: "Hey! Bro, I know I'm usually very reckless, but I've always been very serious in front of her. She will be fine."

  Jefferson: "Alright, you go now, find her and take her out of Milan, go back to Paris together. We'll get things done when we're done."

  Frank: "Wait, I can't join in the next operation?"

  Jefferson: "Of course! Two option for you: continue the operation with Grane and the others, or to protect her alone."

  He hinted very clearly, and of course Frank knew what he should choose.

  Frank: Okay, I'll go to Milan. You guys can be careful without me."

  Jefferson: "Drop this crap, okay! We'll definitely take care of ourselves. You guys go back and wait for our good news with Charles."

  Frank drove through the Italian highway overnight and arrived at the border of Milan city.

  This second largest city in Italy has a size of 181.67 square kilometers and 9 administrative districts, and Rita is now located in the Continental Hotel of the largest administrative district, near Milan Cathedral.

  EISC entered this city four years ago for development and began building a mainland hotel for committee members and partners to freely reside in. It was also during this period that the criminal organization "Lucifer" appeared in their sight.

  At the beginning, the committee also cooperated with Lucifer, but both sides never knew each other's background and maintained a non intrusive relationship. But when they learned that the committee was expanding into Lucifer's territory, the two sides began to turn against each other. When MI6 tried to bring down Lucifer, the committee stood up and wanted to permanently eliminate these mysterious and dangerous elements.

  When Charles learned that Milan had become the front line, he contacted Alessandro Canosa, the owner of the Milan Continental Hotel, overnight and asked him to quickly notify all the staff in Milan to return to the Continental Hotel. But at this time, Rita and Alessandro's daughter Matilda are on a business trip outside, 10 kilometers away from the mainland hotel. They will stay overnight at a nearby hotel and can only return to the hotel tomorrow. Upon learning of this, Charles immediately contacted Frank and instructed him to change direction and head towards Rita's location.

  As a civil servant who has just joined the committee, Rita has been arranged to Milan for her internship work. The Canossa family and the De La Salle family are considered distant relatives, and Rita was able to easily get along with them and quickly become good friends with Matilda. Combined with their diligent efforts at work, Canossa and her daughter looked at her with new eyes and quickly engaged her in practical combat.

  They had a very fulfilling day today, Rita learned a lot from Matilda. After work, they enjoyed a pleasant dinner and went back to their hotel room to chat.

  Matilda: "So you know Frank Worden?"

  Rita: "Yeah."

  Matilda: "What's he like?"

  Rita: "He's... tough, capable, and—"

  Matilda: (Grinning) "handsome? Come on, you can do better. You two close?"

  Rita: "We're friends."

  Matilda: "Just friends?"

  Rita: (Blushing) "What's that supposed to mean?"

  Matilda: "A tough guy like that? You're telling me you’ve never—"

  Rita: "He's 34! And a friend with my dad!"

  Matilda: "Age is just a number. Bet he's got stories."

  Rita: "Oh, he's got stories alright. Flirts with anything in a skirt. But around me? like a quiet hound."

  Matilda: (Mock gasp) "He's totally into you!"

  Rita:"Shut up! Stop talking like that!"

  Matilda: "Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Go to bed early and help me pull the curtains. Thanks!"

  As Rita reached for the drapes, the room plunged into darkness.

  Rita:"Holy shit—power's out?"

  Matilda:"Ugh, you've got to be kidding me! Dad better buy this damn hotel tomorrow and—"

  A red infrared dot flickered across Rita’s chest.

  Matilda: "Hey! Get down!"

  She suddenly rushed behind Rita and pulled her away. A red light shot in from outside the window, followed by a bullet that instantly shattered the window glass. Rita screamed in fear, and Matilda immediately escorted her to the bedside.

  Rita: "What the fuck was that?!"

  Matilda: "Assassin, we're exposed! Move, get the hell out of here!"

  They crawled out of their room and went to the corridor outside. It was also pitch black here, and other tenants hid in their rooms after hearing gunshots, afraid to come out. At this moment, they heard footsteps coming from the staircase, Matilda immediately pulled Rita to hide behind the wall to check on it.

  Two assassins walked up and charged towards their original room with a fierce momentum. At this moment, Matilda suddenly attacked and tied the neck of one of the gunmen with her hand, trying to compete for the gun in his hand. Upon seeing this, Rita also gathered the courage to charge towards another assassin, but the other person reacted and used their gun to hit Rita's stomach with a backhand. Rita let out a muffled cry and fell to the ground, while the assassin aimed his gun at Matilda and shot her in the shoulder, saving his companion.

  Two assassins dragged Matilda and Rita together and started threatening them with guns. Before they could begin questioning, two crisp gunshots suddenly rang out, and the two gunmen were decapitated, with bodies lying haphazardly around them.

  Rita collapsed instantly upon seeing the dead and burst into tears. But not long after, a familiar figure reappeared in front of her, and she immediately felt a sense of security.

  Rita: "Frank!"

  Frank: "Rita! Are you hurt?"

  Rita: "A little bit. Matilda was hit in the shoulder. Oh my god! Honey! Are you okay?" She caressed Matilda and said.

  Matilda: "Uh... I can still hold on. Are you Frank Worden? That Ghost Wolf? Wow!"

  Frank: Alright, You can ask for my signature later. We need to hurry back to the hotel now."

  Stolen story; please report.

  Rita: "Who are they? Why they want to kill us?"

  Frank: "They're not for killing, they want to kidnap you as hostages. Specifically, they want to kidnap her."

  Matilda: "Me? Why?"

  Frank: "I don't know, they have information about your dad. Now they have launched a full-scale war against EISC."

  Matilda: "God damn it... let's get the fuck out of here... um..."

  Frank: "Can you still hold on?"

  Matilda: "Yeah, no problem."

  Rita: "Let me help you. Where are we going?"

  Frank:" Just follow my lead. I have already take care the enemy outside, but I cannot guarantee that they will still send some more."

  As expected, less than ten minutes after they drove away from the hotel, new pursuers chased after them by car. A chase battle was launched on the streets of Milan and caught the attention of the police.

  Frank slammed the steering wheel and drove the car into an ancient and narrow alley, and also led two cars following him in. The deeper Frank drove, the narrower the road in the alley became. Just as they were about to reach the end, Frank suddenly turned to the right and the two wheels on the right side of the car were lifted off the wall, causing the whole car to continue walking sideways through the alley.

  The pursuers behind didn't react at all, their car didn't like what Frank did, eventually got stuck in the middle of the alley.

  Frank's car smoothly passed through the entire alley, successfully escaped from here through the exit, and restored the car to its original state.

  Rita: "Holy shit! How did you do that?"

  Frank: "I'll tell you later. You guys okay?"

  Rita: "Yeah."

  Matilda: "I’m not! God damn it... I’m gotta throw up.. um..."

  Frank:"God damn it! Not in my car! Jesus!"

  They struggled for a long time to get rid of the last group of pursuers and successfully rushed back to the vicinity of the hotel. Alessandro has been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Frank driving his daughter back in a broken car, he immediately had his men rush over to establish a defense line for them.

  When Matilda got out of the car, she couldn't help but throw up all over the place. Then she turn back and complaining to Frank.

  Matilda: "I don’t want to take your fucking seat,never, ever again! "

  Frank is very embarrassed. Rita couldn't hold on anymore and chuckled in the back seat. That made Matilda even more upset.

  Matilda: "How are you not puking?!"

  Rita: " Um... I don't know. "

  Alessandro walked over, helped his daughter up, and examined her wound.

  Alessandro: "You're injured ?!"

  Matilda: "It's okay, papa. Nothing compared to the torture I had in the car just now."

  Then Alessandro turn around and faced Frank.

  Alessandro: " Thank you, Mr. Worden. You saved my daughter's life."

  Frank: "It's okay, That what I should do. take your daughter to rest well

  Alessandro smiled contentedly at him and then had his men help Matilda into the hotel.

  After ensuring the safety of Charles and Jefferson, Frank finally had a good rest. He took a bath in the newly renovated room of the hotel and then lay down on his own bed. After a while, there was a knock on the door. Frank felt a little annoyed, but still walked up to the door and took a look.

  Frank: "Hi! It's you."

  Rita: "Hi! Are you okay?"

  Frank: "I wanted to ask you the same question. How's your friend doing?"

  Rita: "She's all right, except that she's keep complaining about you."

  Frank: "Yeah,haha! Sorry you got dragged into this mess."

  Rita: "It's okay, I was mentally prepared before, just... it was much more exciting than I expected. That move was so cool!"

  Frank: "Lucky I guess. I've tried many times before."

  Rita: "Hmm, so you come for me voluntarily, or just my dad send you here?"

  Frank: "Um, What can I say? Both."

  Rita:" Haha! Thank you."

  She gave him a big hug, which made Frank feel very at ease. Frank sniffed the scent on her, there was a faint aroma. That is her own natural body fragrance, which can bring him a very comfortable feeling. Then, Rita gave Frank a kiss, leaving him completely bewildered and her face instantly flushed. Later, Frank gently pushed her away.

  Frank: "Wow, hey!"

  Rita: "What's wrong?"

  Frank: Uh, it's nothing. It's just... you get rest well tonight. I'm taking you back to Paris tomorrow."

  Rita: "Hmm, okay. Goodnight, Frank."

  She showed a cute expression, waved at him, and then returned to her room.

  After she left, Frank returned to his room and sat down, calmly contemplating. Rita's kiss made him toss and turn, starting to have wild thoughts. In the end, he managed to regain his sanity and didn't let himself continue think about that way.

  As he tried to fall asleep again, another knock on the door rang out. Just now, his fantasy resurfaced in his mind. If he opened the door and saw Rita again, he would immediately succumb to the impulse, and sex with her. He walked nervously to the door and slowly opened it. When he saw who the visitor was, his interest vanished in an instant.

  Matilda stood in front of him, wearing a silk robe and looking at him with a displeased expression.The wound on her shoulder seems to have been bandaged, but the psychological trauma she suffered today has not yet healed so quickly. Now she has finally found her object of complaint and plans to vent her frustrations properly.

  Frank: "What the hell do you want?"

  Matilda: "I can't take it anymore. What you did to me today made me feel so upset!"

  Frank: "I saved your life. That how you appreciate me?"

  Matilda: "No, I'm appreciate. So I want to repay you well."

  After speaking, she walked in, closed the door with her hand and locked it. Frank probably guessed what she was going to do.

  Frank: "Wait a minute! Does your father know?"

  Matilda: "Don't worry about him, just for one night. Since Rita doesn't want to take good care of you, let me do it!"

  She walked slowly towards Frank, taking off her silk robe and show her breasts.

  She is a typical Italian beauty, and Frank quickly reacted when he saw her like this. But he hadn't started yet, waiting until he retreated to the bedside and sat down, letting her stand completely in front of him.

  Matilda gave him a sinister smile, placed her hands on his shoulders, and began to caress his body through her clothes. Then, she gently bent down and gave Frank a gentle kiss. Frank sniffed her body fragrance and found that it was just a delicate perfume, which was no better than the natural body fragrance he had just smelled on Rita.

  He started thinking about Rita again, and he had to restrain this thought by having a sex with another woman two years older than Rita. He grabbed Matilda's body, turned around and threw her onto the bed. Then he began to untie himself and lay on top of Matilda, and succumbed to primal hunger.

  The next morning, Frank woke up first from his sleep. Matilda was lying naked on top of him, causing him to feel a hint of fear. He quickly moved her away from himself, gently woke her up, and asked her to leave his room quickly.

  Matilda tidied up and walked out of Frank's room with satisfaction. As soon as she pushed the door open, she happened to meet Rita in the hallway.

  After seeing each other, the two remained silent and froze in place. Rita understood something when she walked out of Frank's room, while Matilda forced a smile on her and cautiously walked past her, running towards her room in a dejected manner.

  After a while, Frank just walked out of the room and saw Matilda's departing figure, as well as Rita staring at him beside.

  On the way back to Paris.

  Rita hasn't had a serious conversation with Frank for two hours, which makes Frank feel embarrassed. Finally, he speak up first.

  Frank: "Are you angry with me?"

  Rita: "Me? No!"

  Frank: "Then why are we doing like this?"

  Rita: "What?"

  Frank: "Tsk... you know, she come to me."

  Rita: "Oh, yeah."

  Frank: "She's the daughter of the hotel owner, I can't do anything to her!"

  Rita: "So you let her manipulate you?!"

  Frank: Hey, you two were bestie 24 hours ago!"

  Rita: "So what? How long have I known her? How about us?"

  Frank: "Alright, you're getting excited now."

  Rita: "You can fuck her as you please, why do I care?"

  Frank: "Then why are you angry?"

  Rita: "I'm didn't! I'm just... fuck!"

  She didn't have the courage to express that emotion to him and was constantly struggling.

  Frank: "I heard you met a few guys in college."

  Rita: "So what? I didn't sleep with them."

  Frank: "So... wait, you didn't?"

  Rita: "Of course!"

  Frank: So you're still a virgin now."

  Rita: "Hey !"

  Frank: "Alright, this conversation suck! Let's skip it! No one mention that again."

  Rita: "Tsk... theirs is too small!"

  Frank: "What?!"

  Rita: "I got scared when I saw their thing, so I never..."

  Frank: What the... what did you expect how big it is ?"

  Rita: "I don't know, I saw in those dirty movies, they all..."

  Frank: "They're all fucking drugged, Rita! Normal people aren't that size."

  Rita: "How about you ?"

  Frank: "I'm go on fuck... see, who started this conversation now?"

  Rita: "Then why are you mesmerized by her?"

  Frank: "She? She's a fucking slut! I've seen too many women like her."

  Rita: "So you don't like her?"

  Frank: "Like her?The hell...I just want to have joy , that's all. I don't give a fuck about the others.

  Rita: "Fine!"

  Rita calmed down a bit. They fell into an uncomfortable silence once again. Not long after, Frank started the conversation again and still spoke astonishingly.

  Frank: "Do you want to admire it?"

  Rita: "What?!"

  Frank: "The Phantom of the Opera! What do you expect me to say?"

  Rita: "Damn bastard... Whatever, they can't see us anyway."

  Frank: "What?"

  Before he could react, Rita suddenly reached out from the passenger seat and gave Frank a hard kiss. Frank was instantly distracted, and the car almost took the wrong path and crashed into the nearby countryside. He quickly pushed Rita away, only to be met with her resentment.

  Rita: "What are you doing?"

  Frank: "I'm driving, if what to do it , wait for us to get the next station."

  Rita: "When we get to Paris?"

  Frank: "Tsk... Alright! There's a hotel ahead, let's go and do it for two hours."

  Rita: "Tsk...two hours?"

  Frank: "Two hours is enough for you, trust me."

  Frank paid the deposit, took the key, and ran into the room with Rita. The environment here is totally inferior to that of the Continental Hotel. The air is filled with the unique earthy smell of countryside, but this does not prevent them from continuing.

  A few minutes later, Frank lay in bed while Rita rode on top of him. This is the first time they see each other naked, they felt a bit awkward.

  Rita's breasts are very firm and have a moderate waist circumference. Except her baby face, she is already quite mature.And Frank's figure was still the same as Rita's influence, with strong arms and abs, few scars on his body, which made Rita unable to help herself.

  She caressed his great spear like a stone pillar, feeling its touch for the first time, and then delved it deep into her own body.

  Rita: "My goodness!" She gasped softly, her body trembling.

  Frank: "Slow down, feel it."

  Rita: "Oh~Great... Mmm~"

  Frank: "Is this really your first time?"

  Rita: Hmm, okay, I slept with a French guy before, he was quite cute."

  Frank: "Hmph, how did he do?"

  Rita: "It's our first time, so... it's awkward."

  Frank: "Ha, then let me show you what true technology is."

  He began to shake his body very gently, caressing Rita's skin, from her waist to her chest, and finally to her cheeks. She bent down and passionately kissed him. Then they continued to engage, changing positions, and lasted for dozens of minutes.

  After orgasm, Rita leaned heavily against him, panting heavily, savoring the pleasure of tasting Adam's apple for the first time and marveling at Frank's skill.

  Rita: "No wonder... they have such high praise for you."

  Frank: "It's not even my best work yet."

  Rita: "Hahaha!"

  They are have the same cigarette together. After enjoying a moment of tranquility, they began to communicate again.

  Rita: "How's the job?"

  Frank: "Still same. Your dad's intelligence accuracy is really much worse than Charles's. Every time he works under him, he makes mistakes, like this time. Fortunately, everyone played a role this time, and I don't need to handle everything by myself.

  Rita: "Sometimes you really learn to be humble."

  Frank: "No need. I have the right to be arrogant."

  Rita: "There's always someone better than you. Just like how I excelled in college and was one of the top performers in the school. I thought I would adapt more easily when I returned to the committee, but when I met Matilda, I realized that I was far behind her."

  Frank: "What exactly does she do?"

  Rita: "What, you don't know? You just slept with her last night."

  Frank: "Hey, just one night sex! Why do I care so much?"

  Rita: "She's gonna be the successor of her father, so... she's also a socialite. How is she? Is she good in bed?"

  Frank: "She’s fine, it's not the best I've ever met."

  Rita: "Who is the best?"

  Frank: "Um, wait a minute, how did we start discussing this?"

  Rita: "Oh, I really wish I were a man. I can sleep with other women without feeling ashamed. If a woman sleeps with multiple men at the same time, others will definitely call her a promiscuous bitch. Don't you think this is a bit of gender discrimination?"

  Frank: "Hey, only truly promiscuous people don't care if you're a man or a woman, they may take-all. For them, having sex is as common as eating. Similarly, chaste people will hate all promiscuous people equally. Only those hypocritical and selfish fools would argue about this issue because of gender, which is essentially a double standard."

  Rita: "So what kind of person are you? A selfish fool, or a promiscuous people? You can’t be a chaste man."

  Frank: "Well... you're a bit one-sided."

  Rita: "You've slept with so many women."

  Frank: "But none of them are serious relationships, and I can restrain myself."

  Rita: "But we didn't control ourselves just now, so let's just say."

  Frank: "Okay... I admit, I'm a selfish fool."

  Rita: (laugh loudly)" So am I."

  They continued to lie in bed, gazing affectionately at each other. It's still early before the check-out time, so they may be able to do something else or repeat what they just did.

  After about 5 hours, Frank and Rita finally returned to Paris. Frank sent her to The de Lasse Manor and immediately called Charles and Jefferson to report the situation.

  Jefferson was a little angry that he was two hours late, thought that something had happened between them. Rita personally explained to her father, and he finally calmed down and praised Frank.

  Jefferson: "Alright, you can safely deliver her. The mission is completed. Now I have a new job for you."

  Frank: "I'm listening."

  Jefferson: "We raided their stronghold in Rome and captured a large number of key members, but only let go of their head leader: Giscard."

  Frank: "I know that guy. He's the leader of Lucifer?"

  Jefferson: "He was also a capo of the former Sicilian Mafia Remus, then became independent and established his own family in southern Italy. "

  Frank: "I get it, what should I do?"

  Jefferson: "He must end his rule and put an end to the whole operation."

  Frank: "Understood. The destination?"

  Jefferson: Naples, Castel Nuovo. "

  Frank:"Ready to set off. "

  After hanging up the phone, he turned around and looked at Rita who was worried beside him.

  Frank: "Sorry, I have to go back again. "

  Rita: It's okay, just be careful. "

  Frank: "Hmm. Hey! The things we did between us..."

  Rita: "I really enjoyed the happy time, and I will Bear in my mind. But for you and for myself, let's just calm down for a while. "

  Frank: "You're right. It's better not to tell anyone about that. "

  Rita: "I swear! "

  Frank: "Hmm.... "

  They gave each other another affectionate glance. As Frank was about to turn around and leave, Rita grabbed him again and gave him a hard kiss as a farewell. From then on, their relationship became uncontrollable.

  In 2007, the day before Christmas Eve.

  After careful consideration, Charles Woodhart decided to step down from his position as chairman and fully support his deputy, Jefferson de Lasse, as the next chairman. Charles and his trusted friends gathered at the Continental Hotel in New York to celebrate. Frank and Rita also joined them.

  Frank personally killed the leader of Lucifer, Giscard, and gained great fame, becoming a major contributor to EISC. His reputation was also known by people outside the committee and promoted as a legendary figure and classic case.

  Frank personally killed the leader of Lucifer, Giscard, and gained great fame, becoming a major contributor to EISC. His reputation was also known by people outside the committee and promoted as a legendary figure and classic case.

  However, Frank was completely disdainful of these things. Because of this, he constantly worried that MI6 and SAS would cause him trouble, even though Charles repeatedly assured himself that he would not let them trouble him again.

  At that time, Rita had officially become an accountant, the agent who partnered with Grey Runner. But she hasn't participated in any action yet. She wants to take this opportunity to seek advice from her seniors. Accountant Neil Mars joined the committee three years ago and quickly caught Rita's attention with his elegant demeanor and magnetic voice. They chatted happily and also aroused jealousy from Frank at the neighboring table.

  At this time, Frank was still chatting with his two friends, Charles and Jefferson, about their future. Since the establishment of the committee, Charles has served as its chairman for three terms, and it can be said that Charles has basically been in charge of managing the committee. Even during Pizarro's tenure, Charles silently assisted them in leading the committee. This also led to others having a completely lower approval rating than Charles in the committee, and corruption was rampant. So after Pizarro's first term ended, others recommended Charles to return and continue to lead the committee.

  Although Charles became the chairman again after Pizarro, he has accomplished twice as much as during Pizarro's time, such as completely eradicating the criminal organization Lucifer. But such high-pressure work has already seriously affected Charles' living conditions, causing him to not spend enough time with his family for a long time. So after his first term ended, he voluntarily resigned and handed over the burden to Jefferson. And this behavior has also sparked controversy within the committee, especially among the management personnel under the Twelve Knights.

  Jefferson: "What kind of system do they really want? Dictatorship or democratic elections? When you established this four-year one person election system, those eleven bastards agreed. But now? They think you're Stalin, and their subordinates treat you like Roosevelt. I don't even know what to say?"

  Frank: Damn politics! Can you discuss something else? It's already settled now, you're the next chairman. And Charlie... is semi retired now, right?"

  Charles: "I still have to hand over my work and transition for a while, but I feel much more relaxed now."

  Frank: "Yes, I don't think Jeff will make things change after he takes over. Although I also think he's not as good as you, always bang on about something."

  Jefferson: "What? I'm not! It's just..."

  Frank: "Look, you're starting again! You have to be flexible like Charles, not so stubborn. Can you be more stubborn than those other antiques? By the way, you can do good things, at least better than that old fool Hansen."

  Charles: "Ha ha ha, Hansen is an Brit. Don't you think it's wrong to say that to your compatriots?"

  Frank: Now don't think of me as an Brit. I'm half French. Just like Richard the Lionheart."

  Jefferson: "Hehe, Lionheart. He's not a good king, but a good warrior."

  Frank: That's right, let you be the good king."

  Charles: "Alright. Let's have a toast. Wish Jeff can continue to lead the EISC to become the most powerful organization in the world."

  Jefferson: "Good talk!"

  Charles left early before the banquet ended. As he had just drunk a bit too much, Frank and Jefferson were worried about his safety, so Frank voluntarily continued to accompany him and followed him back to Woodhart Manor in Queens.

  Frank had previously learned from Charles that he had two children and a beautiful wife at home, as well as a ex SAS member serving as a housekeeper. Frank has never had the chance to get to know them until now.

  Woodhart Manor appears to be much larger than de Lasse Manor. The solemn entrance, the long corridor extending to the hall, and the spacious gardens on both sides feel like returning to the Middle Ages. In addition, Christmas is approaching and colorful lights are hanging throughout the estate. The entire corridor is lined with neatly arranged Christmas trees on both sides. It seems that Charles values this year's Christmas very much.

  As Frank helped Charles into the hall, an old man dressed as a butler walked out of the inner room. He looks 50 years old, with gray temples and a slight wrinkle on his face. But besides that, he looks even more spirited than Charles now, and his expression also makes people feel that he is hidden and has a different past.

  When he saw Frank, he politely nodded and greeted him.

  Albert: "Good evening, sir. Thank you very much for accompanying Mr. Charles safely back to the manor." He spoke in a standard London accent, which made Frank feel a bit familiar.

  Frank: Uh, no need to thank me. I'll just put him on the couch."

  Albert: "Of course. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Albert Morrison, the butler of Woodhart Manor."

  Frank: "I am Frank Worden, a friend of Charles."

  Albert: Nice to meet you, Mr. Worden."

  Frank: "You are ex SAS, right? Charlie seems to have told me before. I am also from SAS."

  Albert: "Is that so? May I ask when Mr. Worden served?"

  Frank: "In 1992, how about you?"

  Albert: "I served in 1969 and retired in 1989."

  Frank: "Wow, are you almost... 60?!"

  Albert: "63."

  Frank: Damn it! You look like you're 50. You take good care of yourself!"

  Then, another person who made Frank feel unfamiliar walked down from the second floor of the estate. She is a woman in her thirties, with an Asian face that looks a bit like the famous Asian actress Liu Yuling. She looks very elegant and dignified. Frank turned his head and saw the family portrait hanging on the wall, clearly that the woman in front of him was Charles' wife.

  Yuling: "Hi! I'm Yuling Zhao Woodhart, Charles' wife. Thank you for bringing my husband home so late. He seems a bit confused. Hey Charles, can you hear me?"

  Charles didn't react and kept curling up on the couch.

  Frank: "It's better to sober him up, otherwise he'll suffer early tomorrow morning. I'm Frank Worden."

  Yuling: "Nice to meet you, Frank. It's already late, do you need to stay overnight with us? We have many guest rooms here."

  Frank: No need, I have a room rented at the hotel. I'll wash my face and drive away later."

  At this moment, two figures emerged from the left corridor of the hall. Frank heard it very clearly, it was the voices of two teenagers.

  Girl: "Give it back to me, Al! Or I'll kill you!"

  Boy: "Catch me first, hahaha! Aren't you running very fast?"

  With a bang, the boy and Frank bumped into each other, and the gift box in their hands instantly slipped away. Frank was quick witted and caught the gift box for him.

  Boy: "Oops... Oh, sorry! Sir!"

  Frank: "Watch the road, kiddo! Your box." He returned the gift box to him.

  Boy: "Oh, thanks!"

  As soon as he received the gift box, a girl of similar age rushed out from behind him, grabbed his clothes, and then threw him over the shoulder to take away his gift box from his hand. The whole set of movements flowed smoothly, leaving Frank stunned.

  Boy: "Uh, damn it!"

  Girl: "Hmph! Who told you to steal my stuff! Want me to beat you up? "

  Yuling: "Hey! What are you guys doing here? Sam, you hurt your little brother! "

  Sam: "Allie just stole my Christmas gift! "

  Allie: "I just wanted to see who sent it, I didn't plan on opening it! "

  Yuling: "There are guests at home, stop fooling around! You're already in high school, still like two little brats."

  The two children noticed Frank next to them and realized that their behavior earlier had been a bit inappropriate.

  Sam: "Oh, sorry... sir."

  Frank: "It's okay, girl."

  Frank scrutinized the two of them carefully, always feeling that something was off. Allie's facial features have Asian characteristics, indicating that she is the biological child of Charles and Yuling; But Sam doesn't look at all like Allie, and she doesn't look at all like Charles and Yuling. Did she adopt it?

  Frank didn't directly ask these questions. After bidding farewell to Yuling and the others respectfully, he left the estate alone. He always felt that he would see those two children again in the future.

  Back to the hotel.

  The Christmas dinner has ended, and everyone else has left in a flurry. Jefferson also went back to his room to sleep and recharge himself for celebrating Christmas in the next two days. And who did Frank think of at this moment? Of course it's Rita!

  After confirming that there was no one around, he quietly came to Rita's door. Just as he was about to knock on her door, it unexpectedly opened and Rita appeared in front of him, as if she had a telepathic connection.

  Rita was momentarily stunned when she saw him, then revealed a relieved smile. Then, she immediately threw herself into his arms, hugged his neck, and kissed him. Frank immediately immersed himself in it, but he was worried about being seen by others, so he slowly pushed Rita into the room and locked the door with his backhand.

  Rita: "Hmm~Why is it taking so long?"

  Frank: "I have to take care of Charles before I can take care of you. Sorry for keeping you waiting."

  Rita: (Chuckling) "I'm an accountant now, and we'll have plenty of chance to work together in the future."

  Frank: That's right! But... I think we should continue to... keep a low profile in our daily lives."

  Rita: "Are you afraid my dad will find out?"

  Frank: "We haven't told him yet, right? I'm looking for the right time."

  Rita: "He's the chairman now, I'm afraid there isn't much right time left. That's good, he doesn't have time to worry about me, we can do it ... for a little longer."

  Frank: "Hmm, can you hold on tight?"

  Rita: Hmph, let's bring it on!"

  One hour later.

  Frank leaned against the bedside exhausted, while Rita lay beside her in a messy state, unconscious. Frank gently caressed her cheek, feeling her every breath, then slowly released her and quietly left the room alone.

  Every time he finished with her, Frank would interrogate himself: should let this relationship continue? How long can it last? He hasn't really confessed to Rita yet, but their relationship can already beyond than close friends, and the word 'lover' is completely incomparable. Now only ethical issues can make them feel a little ashamed.

  That's right, I slept with my friend's daughter without their knowledge, so what? I just kept it a secret from my friend for four years. And every time their protective measures are done very well, Rita has been through many battles, but she hasn't been hit by a single blow. This lucky mentality will make them increasingly bold.

  But Frank is still an elderly person, he is a little more sensible than when he was young. And Rita is precocious, and as a woman, she is also more intellectual than her peers. They all know that this relationship will eventually be known to the world, and they must be mentally prepared for how to face it.

  Continental Hotel

  This global chain hotel was originally intended as a gathering place for gang killers on the streets, but later formed a partnership with EISC and became the management center of the committee in various cities.

  Each mainland hotel in a city is managed by a manager. The manager is usually appointed by the hotel's founder, sometimes by a local capo, and can pass on the ownership of the hotel to others through abdication.

  The hotel has a wide range of service facilities, including bars, various restaurants, swimming pools, supermarkets, custom clothing stores, and custom weapon stores. Checking into the hotel and entering each facility requires the consumption of 1 gold coin, which can be exchanged at the front desk. $100 is equivalent to 1 gold coin. As long as that person has money, he can stay in this place forever.

  Each service and management personnel is equipped with a handgun and a lightweight bulletproof vest. The main security personnel are equipped with Uzi submachine guns, Benelli shotguns, and M16s. Security personnel have undergone military training and possess strong qualities. There are multiple internal weapon depots in the hotel, with weapons ranging from daggers to Gatling. The hotel is equipped with an automatic defense system, which automatically isolates each area of the hotel with iron bars when activated, and only hotel management personnel can lift it.

  The hotel's rules are very straightforward, and it is not allowed to steal hotel property or the property of other hotel guests; Murder is prohibited in the hotel area. If there is a dispute with someone, but they commit suicide afterwards and are willing to compensate for the losses, they will not be pursued.

  If the rules are violated, mainland hotels will issue a major expulsion order and permanently prohibit entry into any mainland hotels. More serious cases, will be shot on the spot by hotel security personnel.
