Extraordinary Rise: Starting Contract with the Silver Dragon Countess

Chapter 230 I'm here for a meeting, what do you want to do!
Due to the need for encryption in communications between armies, the Silver Frost Army is equipped with dedicated communication stones.

The cost of the dedicated communication stone is extremely high. Given the strength of the Silver Frost Principality, it can only be distributed to company-level troops.

The Central Intelligence Agency, headed by Grand Duke Silver Frost's son-in-law Perez, is responsible for monitoring the use of these military communication stones.

Therefore, as long as the CIA is controlled, all movements of the Silver Frost Army, whether it is the Chief Police Department or the Special Warfare Department, will be under the control of the coup.

In order to fully control the CIA, taking down their director Perez is a crucial step.

In the top-floor box of the Silver Frost Veterans Club, Roman's senior, a colonel named Ackerman who was the assistant director of the CIA, was invited.

The two were good classmates when they were studying at Lu Shi. They came from similar family backgrounds and were both ordinary civilians.

Ackerman's parents are still alive and his family is relatively well-off, so he often supports Roman's life.

After graduation, the two men, who had no connections, were assigned to border provinces as ordinary company commanders.

Fortunately, Roman later relied on his sister to get close to Julian Singh, the top tycoon from the Kingdom of Ceylon, and from then on he became successful and was promoted all the way.

In the process of making progress, Roman never forgot this senior with whom he had formed a deep friendship when he was still a nobody.

Therefore, after stabilizing his position in the army, he helped Ackerman be transferred back from the border.

Ackerman himself was also very capable. When he was a guard in the Intelligence Department of the Army Headquarters, he was noticed by the then Director of the Intelligence Department, Perez, who wanted him to be his secretary.

Later, as Perez rose through the ranks, Ackerman also joined the CIA, a hot unit, and gradually became Perez's right-hand man, serving as assistant director.

Ackerman didn't think much about Roman's invitation.

In the past, they would come here every now and then to get together with their classmates from Lu Shi. Ackerman pushed open the door of the box as usual, but to his surprise, this time the faces that came into his sight were not those of the familiar Lu Shi classmates, but several soldiers with serious faces.

When he saw the faces and epaulettes of these soldiers clearly, Ackerman's pupils suddenly shrank. He stood up straight reflexively and gave a standard military salute.

Because in the private room, there were people sitting in order——

Silver Frost Army Military Police Inspector, General Redinoz!

The Quartermaster General of the Silver Frost Ministry of National Defense, Lieutenant General Chambers!

Deputy Commander of the Silver Frost Capital Security Command, Lieutenant General Jose!

His old classmate Roman stood up and said to him with a smile:

"Don't be nervous, take a seat. I'm sure you've dealt with all of these seniors before, so I don't need to introduce them one by one!"

Despite what Roman said, Ackerman still seemed extremely restrained, especially the military police chief in the middle. None of the Silver Frost soldiers were not afraid.

Even if he has the Grand Duke's son-in-law as his backer, if he really falls into the hands of the gendarmerie, no one can save him.

As they sat down, Roman took the initiative to start a conversation, chatting about some interesting things in the military. The atmosphere gradually became lively, and Ackerman's mood gradually became relaxed.

He had obviously regarded this party as an introduction by Roman to his network of contacts in the military, as he had experienced similar things before.

As they talked, they turned the topic to the current domestic situation.

Roman sighed and said:
"Senior, you're in the CIA, you have firsthand intelligence and cutting-edge news. Tell me the truth, what's the current situation in Silver Frost?"

Ackerman's face showed sadness. Roman's words just hit the nail on the head about his worries. As the assistant director of the CIA, he should be the one who knows best about Yin Shuang's current dangerous situation.

Since Roman wanted to introduce himself to this circle, he naturally had to show his loyalty. After organizing his thoughts, he spoke:
"According to the news brought back by Prime Minister Faria, it seems that the Western Region Empire is willing to help us ease the relationship with Effiin.

However, according to intelligence from multiple sources, Florence has not shown a similar attitude.

Especially their young king, who has been staying at home recently, and the entire country's affairs are handled by his queen.

Analysts within the bureau believe that the king is secretly planning some major action. At this stage, the only targets he can act on are Silver Frost and Holy Oak."

At this point, the expression on Ackerman's face became extremely complicated.

In fact, all signs have shown that Aifein will not let Yinshuang go so easily, but the top leaders of Yinshuang still wishfully pin their hopes on the Western Region Empire, immersed in unfounded fantasies and dreams.

As a result, even if their intelligence agency analyzed this result, they did not dare to report it.

Roman coughed lightly, drawing Ackerman's thoughts back, and said softly:
"Senior, where do you think our country's future should go?"

Ackerman was startled, and immediately said seriously:
"As a soldier, I should shed my last drop of blood for my country and sacrifice my life for it!

If His Majesty the Grand Duke and the country need it, I am willing to..."

Before Ackerman could finish expressing his passionate determination and loyalty, a cold voice interrupted him. It came from General Redinoz, the Military Police Supervisor of the Silver Frost Army:
"Well, save the slogans for when we meet the Grand Duke. We old guys aren't here to hold a military commendation meeting.

There are no outsiders here, and I'm not a military police inspector. Tell me what you really think!"

Ackerman was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at his old classmate Roman beside him.

Roman's expression instantly became very serious, and he lowered his voice and spoke word by word:

"Senior, this country...is beyond salvation!"

Ackerman was startled, his eyes immediately filled with shock and confusion. He quickly turned around to look at the three highly respected and powerful military seniors in the center of the room.

He noticed that the three men didn't show any strange expression after hearing Roman's outrageous remarks. Instead, they stared at him coldly with a burning gaze.

Ackerman's heart suddenly surged, and a shock like a tsunami immediately swept through his brain. He vaguely sensed the intentions of these people.

But this vague perception made him feel unacceptable and unbelievable.

The Army Military Police Chief, the head of Yinshuang's entire military police, actually wanted to openly oppose it... It was no longer just opposition, he felt that the word "treason" could be used to describe it directly.

Ackerman's face suddenly turned as white as paper. He stood there for a long time, not knowing what to do.

Go and report it?

Reporting that the Military Police Inspector of this country and the Deputy Commander of the Chief Police Chief are plotting rebellion together?

Don't joke, even his boss, Perez, wouldn't believe it.

Should he pretend he didn't hear anything?
If that were the case, then there would be no need for Roman to call him here specifically.

Soon, Ackerman figured out the other party's real purpose for calling him here.

The Director of the CIA!
As Director Perez's assistant, he knows all of the director's whereabouts and secrets. They want to control the CIA director through him and then take over the entire CIA.

They were plotting a military coup.

Ackerman's breathing suddenly became rapid, magic power surged in his body, and he wanted to escape reflexively.

But he soon discovered that a powerful aura was firmly locking onto his every move, making him unable to move at all, and even his soul was almost frozen!
He is already a Silver-level peak transcendent, and even a Ninth-level peak transcendent cannot make him unable to move without showing up.

Legendary level?
Definitely a legendary level!

But why does Frost Star City have a legendary level?

Ackerman reluctantly turned his head and looked at his old classmate with an incredible look.

Before Roman could say anything, a young voice echoed in the room.

Strangely, when this voice sounded, Ackerman saw a hint of fear on the faces of the three military leaders.

Before I had time to think further, a young and handsome figure came into view, followed by a strange middle-aged man.

The legendary aura just now emanated from him.

Three days after receiving Cohen's message, Prince Hauge secretly rushed to Frost Star City with Akdimon!

Cohen looked at Ackerman and said with a chuckle:

"No wonder he was able to become the Assistant Director of the CIA. His scheming and wisdom are truly extraordinary. With just a few words from General Roman, he realized what we were planning.

Elders, I think the future Director of the Silver Frost CIA can be succeeded by our young Colonel Ackerman!"

Redinolz moved his lips but said nothing.

Defense Quartermaster General Chambers, the logistics chief of the Silver Frost Army who had just been pulled aboard, was not stingy with his praise and echoed:

"Your Majesty Corleone is absolutely right. I also believe that Colonel Ackerman is fully capable of serving as the Director of the CIA!"

The Deputy Commander of the Chief Police, Jose, also spoke:
"Ackerman, don't be nervous. We have no ill will towards you. Calm down first. It's not too late to make a decision after you understand the whole situation."

At this moment, Ackerman had no intention of listening to the lieutenant general's words. His thoughts had been completely disrupted by the words of the quartermaster general Chambers.

He must have heard it right. What did Chambers call the young man just now?
Your Majesty Corleone!
Which Corleone!
This face, this temperament, this power that can make the admirals and lieutenant generals of Yinshuang show fear, can only be found in His Majesty King Cohen Corleone of Effiin who shocked the continent not long ago!
Ackerman felt that his brain was not enough. The leader of his country's number one enemy actually appeared in front of him alive and was even plotting a coup.

Ackerman couldn't describe the complex emotions in his heart.

Roman's voice rang out:
"Old senior, His Majesty Corleone came to Froststar City to save us Silver Frost from the ravages of war.

You should wake up.”

Ackerman's face was tense, his anger almost bursting out of his chest, and he shouted through his teeth:

"The one who will wage war against Silver Frost is the very Corleone you mentioned!

As a soldier of Silver Frost, should I thank him for not killing me?"

Roman remained calm and said patiently:
"The strong prey on the weak; this is just the way the world is.

Ackerman, you can probably imagine where we would be now if it weren't for my brother-in-law.

Those who have power should control most of the resources. This is true for us and for Effiin as well.

The relationship between nations is just that between people, you should understand this principle! "After hearing Roman talk about the previous events, the expression on Ackerman's face was obviously much more relaxed.

Indeed, without Roman's help, he would definitely still be a miserable company commander on the border.

Seeing that Ackerman's attitude had softened considerably, Roman continued:

"Senior, our country is on the verge of extinction, but what is our Army Chief of Staff doing?
Embezzle the military pay of soldiers who shed blood and sacrificed their lives for this country!

You are an intelligence officer, and you know the truth of the corruption case better than us. I think your good boss must have put in a lot of effort to help Claude eliminate the evidence!

The state of the country has become so destitute, are we just going to watch Yin Shuang being dragged into the abyss by a few insects?

Are you willing to sacrifice your life and property for such a government?
His Majesty Corleone has agreed that as long as we overthrow the current regime, he will no longer use force against Silver Frost. This is the true way to save the country and the people!"

The muscles on Ackerman's face twitched violently, his eyes suddenly became empty, and he was in a fierce ideological struggle.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Roman immediately began his tender offensive, his voice becoming a little ethereal:
"Ackerman, think about Lisa and Hawke. They are only five years old and have a bright future ahead of them. Do you think you have the right to ruin their future?
Do you want your twin children to accompany you and die with you for this corrupt regime, or do you want them to become the children of the CIA director!

Ackerman!"

Roman suddenly raised his voice:
"As long as you agree, you will be the next CIA director!"

When Ackerman mentioned his family, he could no longer hold back. His face immediately showed dejection, and he replied in a trembling voice:

"Tell me, what do you need me to do?"

Roman showed a look of relief on his face and whispered:

"Help us get Mr. Perez, the CIA director, to come to the Army Military Police Headquarters!"

Ackerman was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked:

"Why do you have to ask me to make the appointment? Can't you do it too?"

Roman's face showed a cold expression, and he said slowly:

"Because only if you summon him to the Army Military Police Headquarters in the name of Grand Duke Silver Frost will he not bring a single soldier with him!"

Ackerman froze in place.

As Perez's assistant, Ackerman was responsible for Perez's daily work arrangements. It was not difficult for him to fabricate an emergency meeting of the Archduke that did not exist. The difficult part was what would happen if Perez did not see the Archduke after going there?
Unless they are not prepared to end it at all!

They are going to attack Perez directly!
He looked at the people in front of him, feeling smoke in his throat, and said dryly:
“You’re going to kill Chief Perez?
Director Perez's soul imprint is in the Ministry of Defense building, and he is under constant surveillance. If we kill him, the truth will soon be revealed..."

Cohen then spoke:
"Don't panic, Colonel Ackerman, we won't kill your boss, we just want to have a good talk with him.

Well, if there are no other questions, please sign this contract."

Ackerman looked at the soul contract handed to him by Cohen, his mouth dry. Having come this far, there was no turning back.

Will he die under the iron hoof of the Orc Legion, or become the high and mighty Director of the CIA?
Ackerman thought he was very principled, but when faced with these two completely different choices, his true thoughts betrayed him!
……

Perez is a middle-aged man with an elegant temperament. Judging from his appearance, he does not look like the head of intelligence for the entire country, but more like an elegant university teacher.

After the lengthy meeting, Perez glanced at the time and turned to his assistant, Ackerman, and said:

"Are there any other plans for today?"

Ackerman shook his head and said:

"No more, Director, do you want to go home and rest?"

Perez nodded, and Ackerman immediately said:
"Then I'll see you off."

As the two of them walked out of the door, Ackerman suddenly paused and took out a red special communication stone from his arms. After seeing the content on it, his expression changed slightly.

Perez naturally noticed Ackerman's abnormality and asked:
"What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Ackerman immediately replied:
"Director, the Grand Duke's Chamberlain has suddenly issued an urgent notice requesting you attend a meeting."

Perez frowned slightly and asked:

"It's so sudden. Fine, please send me to the palace."

Ackerman shook his head:
"He's not going to the palace. His Highness is currently at the Army Military Police Headquarters."

Perez was stunned. Army Military Police Headquarters?

Could it be that something strange happened in Claude's case again?

In order to help Claude get out of the quagmire of the military pay corruption case as soon as possible, Grand Duke Silver Frost hinted to Perez to do a lot of tricks, and many of the plans were made together with General Redinoz, the chief of the Army Military Police.

At this point, the Grand Duke suddenly called him to a meeting at the gendarmerie headquarters, and he naturally thought about what new developments there were in Claude's case.

The Council of Nobles and Prime Minister Faria did not dare to question the decision of His Royal Highness the Grand Duke, but they kept a close eye on themselves and Gendarmerie Inspector Redinoz, hoping that they would not find any flaws.

Perez thought for a moment and then said to Ackerman:

"Then go to the Military Police Headquarters, the sooner the better.

Oh, and don't alarm anyone."

Ackerman asked the usual question:
"You're not bringing security personnel with you either?"

Perez replied without hesitation:
"No, why bring guards when you go to see the Grand Duke? Let's go."

……

When Perez and Ackerman arrived at the gendarmerie headquarters, they saw Lieutenant General Chambers, the Chief of Defense Quartermaster General, standing at the door waiting.

Perez couldn't help but quicken his pace, stepped forward to greet him, and asked:
"General Chambers is here to see the Archduke as well?"

Chambers nodded and lowered his voice:
"I was wondering why His Highness came to the Military Police Headquarters, but now that you're here too, I know what's going on."

Perez also showed an understanding and called the quartermaster over. It must be related to Claude's previous case of embezzling military pay.

Perez didn't say much, and the two of them walked together towards the depths of the gendarmerie headquarters.

Led by two gendarmes, they arrived in front of a three-story building. The gendarmes stopped and said softly:

"His Highness and the General are both inside."

Perez didn't suspect anything and went into the building with Chambers. The door to the conference room on the first floor was open and faint sounds could be heard from inside the room.

The two men walked towards the conference room, Perez walked in front, and when they entered the conference room, the imagined figure of the Grand Duke did not appear, but only a handsome young man.

Perez's heart skipped a beat, but before he could react, Chambers behind him suddenly pushed him forward, then closed the door. Magic power surged, and a magic circle that isolated breath and sound rose up instantly.

Then two strong men rushed out from both sides and grabbed his arms tightly.

They were General Redinois, Chief of the Army Military Police, and Lieutenant General Jose, Deputy Commander of the Chief Police.

Magical power surged in Perez's body, but as a civil servant who sat in the office all day, he had no way of fighting against Redinoz and Jose, two warriors who were much stronger than him.

Perez's face suddenly changed. He struggled for a long time, but found it was useless. He glared at the two of them and roared:

"I'm here for a meeting, what do you want to do?"

Redinois and Jose did not answer, but just held Perez tightly.

Cohen then slowly spoke and said:

"Chief Perez, don't panic. We are here to hold a meeting with you."

Perez finally realized that this young man was the one in charge. He shouted angrily:
"Who are you? I'm here to meet the Grand Duke. Where's the Grand Duke?"

Cohen chuckled and said:

"Director Perez, as the head of the Silver Frost Intelligence Agency, how come you can't even recognize me?"

Perez froze when he heard that. Because of the sudden change just now, he had no time to pay attention. Now that Cohen reminded him, his eyes were fixed on Cohen's face.

After a moment, a look of extreme horror emerged on his face, and he said in a trembling voice:

"Ai…Ai…King Effiin?"

Cohen narrowed his eyes and asked:
"Although I know it's unlikely, as per custom, I still want to ask you, are you willing to cooperate?"

Perez felt a chill in his heart. He looked at Redinois and Jose, who were holding him tightly on both sides, and shouted angrily:
"Traitors, you actually colluded with Effiin to rebel. You will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history!"

Cohen sighed and shook his head:

"It seems that this won't work. I'm sorry!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a shadow suddenly appeared, smiled strangely at Perez, turned into a stream of light, and drilled into his body.

It was the demon Akdimon who came with Prince Hauge.

As Akdimon entered Perez's body, not long after, a faint soul shadow was squeezed out.

Looking at this strange scene, both Redinoletta and Jose couldn't help but gasp.

It was shocking that this young king was actually working with the devil.

At this moment, Prince Hauge also appeared in the room, waved his hand, and took away Perez's soul.

Perez, whose soul was taken over by Akdimon, stretched his body and uttered a hoarse, flattering voice:
"Master, the humble Akdimon is honored to fight alongside you again!"
