Chapter 208 After 2 Years
Time December 1997, 12, London, England.
"Your whiskey with ice, I put it here for you." A timid male waiter carefully carried a glass of whiskey with ice, and placed it on the table next to Colonel Carl.
Then he ran away in a hurry, looking at his panicked back, people who didn't know thought they saw something terrible.
Compared with the timidity of the waiter, Colonel Carl took the glass with a calm face, took a deep breath of the cigar in his hand, and then tasted the enthusiasm of the whiskey.
"You shouldn't do this. After all, this is a children's paradise. Smoking and drinking here is a serious illegal act, and it is also immoral."
Seeing Colonel Carl's intoxicated appearance, Dr. Peter beside him couldn't help reminding.
Facing Dr. Peter's reminder, Colonel Carl waved his hand with a look of disdain. He picked up the wine glass again and drank the spirit in the glass.
Then he knocked the wine glass heavily on the table, signaling the waiter to refill his wine, and said loudly while staring at the man in front of him.
"None of your business. We're in a very bad place right now, since President Clinton was impeached this time last year."
"The little secretary to the governor of New York, who has something to do with that mysterious Mr. Augustus, Mr. Bush ascended to the position of president in this way."
"The Republican Party has even taken control of both chambers. What should we do now? Now we don't even think anyone wants to surrender, but you are in the mood to come here."
"You want to meet your so-called daughter. You are not hypocritical. For almost two years, you have never met your daughter and left her in this foreign country."
"Now I'm starting to be a good father. At the same time, in the past two years or so, I have found a way to help you get nearly more than 100 billion US dollars in funds, but where did the money go?"
"As it is now, we are like two homeless men. If it weren't for the gun on my waist, I guess I wouldn't even be able to drink wine today."
What Colonel Carr was saying was that the way the two of them were dressed now, both of them were wearing old American military flight jackets, their hair was a little messy, and they both seemed to be staying up late and drinking alcohol, it looked like Like the homeless who wander the streets of London all year round.
Moreover, the recent situation of the two of them really complemented their own attire. The two of them even worked on a fishing boat in exchange for a ferry ticket to the UK.
And the reason why they are in such an embarrassing situation is because Dr. Peter spent money like water. In just two years, he burned through more than 100 billion US dollars in research funds and corruption funds.
Although the two are not publicly wanted, they are already in an extremely disadvantaged position.
Facing Colonel Carl's accusation, Dr. Peter was very calm. He didn't use his fists to force the waiter to bring him a glass of alcoholic drink like Colonel Ka.
Instead, like a normal customer, he ordered a cup of hot cocoa with milk. The aroma of cocoa accompanied by white smoke was released under Dr. Peter's constant stirring.
While smelling the aroma of cocoa, he quickly waved his hands and said in a low voice.
"Don't be so loud, sir, don't forget the confidentiality level of our work. It is a violation of the confidentiality regulations for you to speak so loudly."
"Furthermore, I didn't spend money randomly at all. Every penny I spent was used for our common ideals."
"Now everything has been prepared. We just need to get the key to finally open the door, and everything can be resolved smoothly."
Dr. Peter's careful persuasion, in exchange for Colonel Carl's even greater anger, the other party slammed his hands on the table vigorously, shaking out the hot cocoa that Dr. Peter was stirring.
The hot cocoa splashed on Dr. Peter's white shirt, making the other party into a mess. Dr. Peter could only complain in a low voice while wiping his clothes with a handkerchief.
"It's really rude. I'm going to see my daughter later. How can you make a good impression on me like this?"
Dr. Peter's indifferent expression and innocent expression completely angered Colonel Carl. He stood up and grabbed Dr. Peter by the collar, pulling him up directly.
Then he stared into each other's eyes and said loudly.
"What I want is a war, but now, it seems that everything has been settled by that Mr. Augustus. When was the last time you heard the words magic and wizard?"
"I tell you it was a full year ago that the world seemed to have forgotten all that and is now in the magical network that Augustus created."
"How many people are washing the ground for them, even if wizards or magic are mentioned, the current explanations are more human mutations caused by supernatural abilities, or a mysterious class that rules the world."
"They didn't say that these people are different from us, they just emphasized their social status, they are blurring the concept, sir, and we, we actually sit in such a place and listen to you talking nonsense to me. "
Colonel Carl's crazy behavior caused the shop assistants to panic. Originally, because of the appearance of Colonel Carl and Dr. Peter, the number of customers in the store decreased a lot.
Now this tall American man, it seems that he doesn't want to beat his partner, in such a day that is approaching the holiday.
All the customers in the store were afraid of getting into trouble, the parents took their children and left earlier, and the timid waiter also hid under the cashier's table in fright.
At the same time, Colonel Carl's roar also attracted the attention of passers-by, and the two patrolling policemen seemed to have noticed something was wrong.
They pushed open the store door and walked in. They saw Colonel Carl grabbing Dr. Peter's collar, as if they were going to beat each other up, so the two policemen held their guns in one hand and pointed at Colonel Carl in the other and said loudly.
"Sir, stop your behavior immediately, put your hands down now, and then slowly come out and squat down with your hands on your head."
"Tomorrow is Christmas Eve. On such a day, let's not add trouble to both parties. Can we handle this matter properly?"
When the police issued a warning, Dr. Peter quietly turned his head to the side, and saw a little girl through the glass, who was holding a brand new doll bear, walking timidly on the streets of London.
Although the girl seemed a little shy and didn't want to have too much contact with other people, her clothes and cute appearance still attracted a lot of people's attention.
He is like the medieval princess in the Grimm's fairy tales, beautiful and fragile, Alice in a white retro dress, walking on the snow-covered London avenue.
Looking left and right, it seems that he is looking for something.
