"me?"

Eleanor reached out and touched her face.

Wilkes still didn't understand what was happening.

Then I saw the other person peel off their entire face.

"Eleanor Hopkins?!"

A dead person suddenly appears before your eyes.

Wilkes' legs went weak and he couldn't control himself as he backed away.

But there were filing cabinets right behind him, leaving him nowhere to retreat.

"You...you're not dead..."

The scenes that had just occurred kept flashing through Wilkes' mind.

Especially Eleanor's encouraging words to him.

And his final promise.

"wait wait wait!"

Wilkes no longer had time to dwell on anything.

With my life hanging by a thread, survival is the most urgent thing to do!

Wilkes then knelt down on the ground with a thud.

"sorry!"

He braced himself on the ground with both hands, tears streaming down his face.

He no longer had that arrogant demeanor when he planned to assassinate Eleanor.

“I was wrong before. I shouldn’t have wiretapped the White House and shouldn’t have tried to control the president.”

"We have no intention of assassinating you!"

"You are such a celestial being, I must have been out of my mind before!"

"I am guilty! I am willing to atone for my sins!"

"I'm willing to hand over all the secret files here to you! I just beg you to spare my life!"

Wilkes suddenly looked up.

"Do you remember? We even had dinner together!"

Eleanor looked at him indifferently.

"Get up, Mr. Wilkes."

He said, "I promise you, I won't lay a hand on you."

"Really?

"real."

Eleanor nodded, ignoring Wilkes's profuse thanks.

He turned and walked out of the iron gate, returning to the ground.

The sunshine today is really nice.

Eleanor gazed at the distant scenery.

boom!

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out from the tomb, startling a flock of birds into flight.

Immediately afterwards, footsteps came from behind.

Eleanor turned her head and saw Edgar covered in blood.

She had already torn off the human skin mask, revealing her true appearance, and now her face was full of remorse.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Hopkins."

Edgar said with his head down, "My sidearm just went off accidentally. The bullet bounced around in the archives and accidentally hit Mr. Wilkes."

He is now...

Edgar suddenly covered his face and burst into tears.

"She's not breathing! I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry! It's all my fault!"

Ugh!

"It's too late to cry now that things have come to this."

"Be careful next time," Eleanor said sadly. "Don't let this happen again."

He sighed heavily, feeling it was a great pity.

If I remember correctly.

Wilkes had previously mentioned that he would treat him to dinner.

……

Eleanor returned to Washington, D.C.

The classified files were handed over to the Investigation Bureau for retrieval and processing.

The follow-up work in the south was also handled by Edgar.

He only carried files with him at the senator and governor levels.

These things are too complicated for Edgar to handle.

Eleanor had no choice but to do it herself.

However, he wasn't in a hurry to deal with it, since his rare holiday wasn't over yet.

Let's rest for a few days first, and then we'll talk about everything later.

A week later.

Eleanor returned to work, and his return immediately silenced a host of rumors.

Many of his opponents were immediately disappointed.

Originally, these people thought that Eleanor might be too badly injured to attend to matters.

However, just one week later, Eleanor officially announced his return.

Really sorry.

Why does God favor him so much?

When Eleanor returned from her vacation, she hadn't actually gotten back into work mode yet.

He originally planned to slack off for another day before officially starting work.

But the plans couldn't keep up with the changes.

Eleanor had just walked into the office and hadn't even had a chance to sit down yet.

Louise then walked in from outside.

The timing was perfect, as if it was waiting specifically for him.

"Don't take off your coat."

She said, "Come with me."

"Where?"

Eleanor was a little confused. "I just got back. I can't go on a business trip on my very first day back, can I?"

"Don't worry, it's nothing outside the White House. There's something very important going on."

Louise offered no further explanation and turned to walk away.

Eleanor had no choice but to follow.

The two walked down the corridor and, instead of heading to the president's office, went to a rarely used conference room on the east side of the White House.

People from the presidential security detail were standing outside the door.

Upon seeing Louise, they opened the door without asking any questions.

Eleanor went inside.

All the curtains in the room were drawn.

A white screen was hanging at the very front, and a movie projector was set up behind it.

Rosef has arrived.

When she saw Eleanor return, a hint of surprise flashed across her face, and she quietly greeted him with her eyes.

Eleanor responded with her eyes.

Besides Rosef, there were many other people in the room.

Minister of War Denn, Army Chief of Staff Maiceline, Chief of Naval Operations, head of the Military Intelligence Bureau, and several senior officers in charge of the magic industry were also seated inside.

Their expressions were all serious.

Eleanor frowned.

what's the situation?

Sensing the awkward atmosphere, he didn't say anything and sat down with Louise.

Then, lowering his voice, he asked, "What happened?"

"A military conflict has broken out between Hongluo and Zhaoyang."

Louise replied, "The location is North Birch Island, and it started seven days ago."

The Zhaoyang Empire is an island nation in the Far East that has already completed industrialization.
