Following the British Lord’s order, the Qing Eliminating Society entered an unprecedented period of dormancy.
The five Military Governors of the five Military Governor Offices went into full hibernation immediately. Aside from the copper refinery in Turkey, all the other dead soldiers and Armed Calvary Guards were not allowed to step out of their bases. All members lurking around the world also temporarily terminated all contact with the upper line.
From this moment on, only the three great earls of the Qing Eliminating Society were carrying out missions on behalf of the British Lord. Mr. Chardon was still looking for Vera’s whereabouts in Oskia and was preparing to set off to Aurous Hill to investigate clues on Charlie. Mr. Zorro was investigating the arms black market around the world to look for clues on the AK630 close-defense missiles, and Miss Dijo was filling in the gap for Mr. Chardon to look for Vera in the Far East.
The day after Brody was shot, all members of the copper refinery in Turkey left on a cargo ship.
The Special Envoy Master, Lucian, who was under Charlie’s psychological hint, also boarded the cargo ship with the others. Everyone did not know where they were going at the time and only knew that the British Lord had asked them to evacuate to South Africa immediately because something had happened in Cyprus.
The incident occurred very suddenly, so a temporary retreat was reasonable, and the group did not become suspicious.
The journey to South Africa was long. They had to cross the Mediterranean Sea, the Suez Canal, and the narrow Red Sea, before heading south along eastern Africa, which would encompass a journey of nearly ten thousand kilometers.
Fortunately, the cargo ship had already prepared supplies to be transported to the copper mine in Cyprus before departure, which was enough for hundreds of people at the copper refinery to eat and drink at sea, Therefore, everyone did not worry too much about the future but looked forward to arriving in South Africa as soon as possible to start a new life there.
They did not know that the British Lord had no intention of letting them set foot on land again. According to the British Lord’s request, this cargo ship and everyone on board must rest in the depths of the Mediterranean Sea.
A day after the cargo ship departed, when the cargo ship was traveling late at night and was still two hundred kilometers away from the port at the northern entrance of the Suez Canal, the engine suddenly stopped. The cargo ship quickly lost power and started floating on the sea.
Several welders used electric welding equipment to seal all the windows and hatches of the cargo ship with steel bars that were as thick as a thumb.
