Moreover, since it involves Dia, we can't possibly refuse this mission.

What if they really did find a female soldier to seduce him?

Mark looked at the righteous and indignant Poxon, remained silent for a few seconds, and then spoke:

“What you say makes sense, but you can rest assured that the Fourth Prince has always been kind-hearted and has no ill intentions towards his own brothers and sisters. This mission is actually because he is worried that the Twelfth Prince will be deceived by outsiders, so he hopes to protect her by sending his own people…”

That's complete bullshit.

Pokson sneered inwardly. She and her classmates knew Celidonish's personality all too well.

He was the kind of person who, after losing a shooting contest, would bury himself in practice, surpass his opponent, and then shoot his classmate.

While the man's rude remarks to Celidonish were partly to blame, the Fourth Prince's character was by no means kind-hearted.

"...Is that so? Okay, then I accept this task."

Too lazy to argue with Mark any longer, Poxon grabbed the envelope on the table and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, Mark called out to her:

“Wait, Miss Poxen.”

Pokson turned and looked at him with a puzzled expression:

"what happened?"

"This mission is extremely important. I urge Miss Pokson not to hesitate to sacrifice herself and make a sufficient contribution to the country in order to live up to the country's expectations of her..."

Mark's voice grew lower and lower as he spoke, and the warning in his eyes became increasingly intense.

He was clearly warning Poxon not to slack off during the mission.

In Kakin, offending royalty will not end well.

"Finally, I want to remind you that everything today must be kept confidential. Don't tell anyone anything you shouldn't say, and be careful what you say about what you learned at the Hunter Association. Don't anger the Fourth Prince..."

Mark's words seemed to be hinting at something.

Upon hearing this, a thought flashed through Pokson's mind:

'This person is warning me not to discuss the matter of Nen with the Fourth Prince…'

Upon closer reflection, it seems that Celidonich did not show any signs of knowing how to "read" in his daily life, but his subordinate Mark did know how to "read".

Logically speaking, Mark, as the fourth prince's advisor, should not have kept anything from the fourth prince if he knew how to use [Nian]. However, the reality was quite the opposite.

There is only one possibility: Mark was not loyal to Celidonich at all!

He also realized that Poksen had no loyalty to Celidonich, which is why he hinted at the above.

Pokson nodded calmly and then turned and left the office.

She hadn't originally planned to say much to the fourth prince.

buzz-

Poxen's phone vibrated in her pocket. She opened it and saw a message from her friend Jasmine, who was at King's Army Academy.

I guess the other party somehow found out she was back in China, so they came to check on her.

Pokson sent over the address of his rented apartment, planning to meet up and chat that evening.

She also wanted to learn about any recent changes within the military through Jasmine.

Pokson then began to think about the future direction of the mission and how he should deal with it.

'Confidentiality principle...'

Remembering Mark's principle of secrecy, Poxon dialed Dia's number without hesitation:

"Hey, where are you now... Are you almost in New Delhi? Aren't you... Never mind, XX Street, XX number, this is the address of my rental apartment. Come over as soon as you get there, I have something important to tell you."

With a beep, the call was disconnected by Poxon.

Keep it a secret? My foot!

--------------

It was evening.

Dia rushed from the airport to the address Poxon had given her.

He knew that Poxen wouldn't speak without reason; if she said it was important, then it must be crucial.

Although he originally planned to go to Mumu Ze's palace, he changed his plans and decided to visit Pokson first.

The taxi ride took about an hour and a half before we finally arrived at our destination.

What came into view was a rather old and dilapidated little house, which looked a bit shabby.

Diya compared it to Qiduo's detached villa in her mind and began to think about whether she should give Poxen some money so that she could live in a better place.

dong dong dong-

Dia stepped forward and knocked on the door, and immediately a woman's voice came from behind:

"They're here—"

With a click, the door opened, revealing Pokson dressed in casual home clothes, holding a spatula.

At this moment, she showed a rare touch of everyday life, which made her seem rather adorable.

Upon seeing Diya, she suddenly relaxed a bit and said with a smile:

"You're finally here! You've been so slow. Come help me chop the vegetables. Have dinner here tonight."

"You can cook? ... How much food did you prepare? I have a big appetite."

"There's enough for you. If it's not enough, I'll borrow some rice from the neighbors to feed you..."

As she spoke, Dia followed Poxon into the house.

Unlike the old and worn-out exterior, the interior furnishings and furniture are clean and tidy, making it very comfortable to look at.

"When I first arrived, I had nothing to do, so I cleaned the house two or three times until it was finally edible."

Seeing him looking around, Poxon casually offered an explanation.

Dia turned to look at her and said:

"Why don't you just rent a nicer place? Don't you have enough money? You can use my card."

Upon hearing this, Pokson felt a warmth in his heart, but still smiled and shook his head, saying:

“It’s not about the money. I deliberately chose an inconspicuous place to avoid attracting attention. Besides, it’s unreasonable for an ordinary soldier to have so much money to squander. It would be too conspicuous in New Delhi.”

It seems that having done too many undercover jobs, keeping a low profile has become ingrained in Pokson's bones, and he is unwilling to be too ostentatious.

The two spent a long time in the kitchen preparing dinner. Afterward, they sat down at the table and began to chat and eat.

At the dinner table, Poxon handed the envelope to Dia and said, somewhat seriously:

"The Fourth Prince has his eye on you, but his ultimate target is probably the Twelfth Prince. What do you plan to do?"

Chapter 345 Jasmine × Seeking a Turning Point

The fourth prince? Celidone?

Dia frowned, took the letter, and opened it to read.

It's surprising that I was targeted by such scum. Did something go wrong?

After spending a little time reading the instructions in the envelope, Dia fell into a brief moment of contemplation.

Simply put, it's a loose end left over from the vice-president election that has caused the current chain reaction.

But overall, the situation is not urgent.

His information has long been included in a national-level confidentiality agreement, and he enjoys the same level of treatment as Jin.

"Don't be anxious. This so-called fourth prince doesn't have the authority to investigate me. And his underlings are so few and far between that they're practically Nen users."

Dia casually burned the letter to ashes and comforted Poxon:

"Just follow their instructions and wait, then we'll see how things go."

Pokson was still a little worried and said with a hint of concern:

"Don't underestimate him. The royal family's power is far greater than you imagine. Just think, if the Fourth Prince hadn't happened to find me to carry out this mission, you wouldn't even know you were being investigated."

"Not to mention they also want to send people to monitor and control you, given your indiscriminate nature towards girls..."

"Wait a minute, isn't that a bit defamatory?"

Diya couldn't help but interrupt her, picking up her chopsticks and gently tapping her head:

"Don't think about these random things; it's just pointless and wastes our energy. Besides, thinking about these things won't do any good."

"What should we do then?"

"What can we do? You're here, aren't you? Just make up some fake news for them, and we can even take advantage of the situation to make some money off them."

Dia wasn't very concerned about this kind of threat. The fact that they could only find out this much meant that their intelligence system posed no threat at all, and they could just fool them.

Of course, killing Celidonich now is one option, but that would be too passive.

For a country as large as the Kakin Empire, attempting to assassinate a high-profile prince in their capital is no easy feat.

Moreover, his primary task now is to investigate the whereabouts of the [Insect Arrow Fragment], and dragging himself into the quagmire of assassinating royalty would obviously increase the difficulty of the investigation.

'Once we find the fragments, we'll kill them all, no matter what kind of prince they are. It'll pave the way for Mumu Ze...'

Dia took a sip of her fruit juice and calmly plotted a plan that would be enough to get her entire family executed in Kakin.

Across from him, Poxen listened to his topic and looked at him silently for a while.

After a long while, she couldn't help but speak:

"Wouldn't you be upset if I gave your information to someone else?"

"I'm not that domineering, especially since it's just fake news."

Pokson slowly lowered his head and whispered:
