Chapter 771: 776 Chapter Yes-man

"When I’m bored, I learned to smoke, and I like to drink, too. I like to have a few drinks when I’m alone. Does that bother you?"

"Not at all, not at all! I also like to have a glass of red wine before going to bed, so what do you like to drink..."

"Vodka, I only like vodka."

Brian was once again taken aback because he felt that the Annastasia before him was somewhat unfamiliar.

Annastasia exhaled a puff of smoke, then smiled at Brian and said, "What, can’t accept it?"

"It’s just, it feels a bit, a bit..."

"Time changes a person. How do you know if the me back then was real, or if it’s the me now who is real? Well, actually, I learned to smoke back in spy training camp, and I’ve always been good with alcohol. It’s just that you never had the chance to see me drink."

Brian sighed softly and said in a low voice, "Yes, I never drink. Drinking affects motor skills, so we never drink."

"So you’re saying your alcohol tolerance isn’t good?"

As if insulted, Brian raised his voice and said, "That’s not necessarily true. I just choose not to drink, not that I can’t drink."

Annastasia laughed, looked at Yang Yi, then smiled and asked, "You said we should start over, so how should we begin?"

Brian was at a loss for words.

The intelligence of a man in love drops to zero. Although Brian was an older man, his IQ didn’t get very high when in love, and might well have turned negative.

Seeing Brian unable to respond, Xiao Ran said urgently, "Idiot, start now! Just come with us, isn’t that good enough?"

Brian glared at Xiao Ran who subconsciously shrank her neck afterward.

Xiao Ran couldn’t shake off the fear of being dominated by Brian, the memory of that room drenched in blood plasma made her shudder.

But after shrinking her neck, Xiao Ran couldn’t help but say, "You idiot, her asking you how to start means it has already begun."

Annastasia pointed at Xiao Ran, then she laughed and said, "Well said."

With a mix of shock and joy, Brian then said, "You’re willing to leave with me, right? Then let’s, let’s leave Moscow now. We need to go to Germany. Let’s go together. Do you need to take care of any affairs, do you need to bring anything?"

"Are you trying to rope me in just like that? At least let me know your strength before I can decide whether to completely give up my current life."

Brian found it hard to raise his head when facing his beloved, but at least he wasn’t completely lost, knowing enough to ask Yang Yi’s opinion.

One question everyone knew was that Brian wanted to find Annastasia, but no one knew what he’d do after finding her. Would he retire? Or would he continue with the Organization of Water?

Brian’s original intention might have been to live a quiet life, to peacefully spend his remaining years. But now, Annastasia clearly wasn’t willing, so Brian’s best choice was to stay with the Organization of Water and, incidentally, bring Annastasia into it as well.

Annastasia’s identity is actually a bit sensitive, whether Yang Yi is willing to accept it or not is still a question.

Brian looked towards Yang Yi and found that Yang Yi was standing there, staring off into space.

Kate gently nudged Yang Yi, so he raised his head and said, "What’s wrong?"

Brian cleared his throat and then said to Yang Yi with a serious face, "Kate... she wants to join us, she wants to help me take revenge on Aaron. What do you think?"

Yang Yi immediately said, "Sure, what’s the problem with that?"

Yang Yi wouldn’t have a problem unless he wanted to drive Brian away.

Brian smiled placatingly at Annastasia and then said in a deep voice, "Let me introduce you, this is Little Egg, but his real nickname is Sea God. Little Egg is just a pet name. And she is Blade Queen, very good with a gun, our sniper and sharpshooter. This girl is Iron Fist, her real name is... Kate, yes, her name is Kate, and she is also British."

Annastasia sighed and said, "Kate, such a familiar yet unfamiliar name, hi Kate, nice to meet you."

Annastasia’s voice was very pleasant, and when she spoke English, it was in a standard Oxford accent, the accent of high society.

Yang Yi spoke with a London accent, which had nothing to do with high society; it was mainly used by the working class in London. Yang Yi spoke with a London accent because he was born in London, growing up in an environment with that emphasis, while Annastasia spoke in a standard Oxford accent because she was specially trained.

After greeting Kate, Annastasia looked at Brian with interest and said, "So how do you plan to introduce me?"

Brian’s face turned red, and then he said hesitantly, "Yeah, should I call you Kate, or should I call you Annastasia?"

Annastasia lifted her head and looked at Brian with a touch of pity and said, "You don’t even know my real name, well, I’m definitely not called Kate, and I’m not called Annastasia either. Annastasia is my codename, my KGB codename, and my real name is Margarita Lentoa; that is my true name, the name I’ve used for decades."

Brian was momentarily stunned, his longed-for lover’s true name unknown to him, then he said in a low voice, "Should I call you Margarita then?"

"No, keep calling me Annastasia."

Annastasia took a breath and said, "That name makes me feel more real, it makes me feel like I’m still alive."

Brian smiled and then said in a serious tone, "Annastasia, our strength is very formidable, trust me, you won’t be disappointed."

Annastasia looked towards Yang Yi, then she pursed her lips and said, "Is he the one leading everyone?"

"Yes, it’s him. Our organization is called the Organization of Water; we have a lot of very capable guys, you’ll like them."

Annastasia turned towards Yang Yi and said, "Sea God, you seem very engrossed, can you tell me what you figured out?"

Yang Yi raised his head and spread his hands, "These records show six instances of Aaron passing intelligence to the KGB, as well as what intelligence was passed. Even if they can’t serve as direct evidence, they can still be used as corroboration. However, what I’m interested in is why Yarebin said Aaron had a connection with the Grey-cloaked People, which isn’t explained here, only mentioned in passing."

Annastasia asked curiously, "Are you very interested in the Grey-cloaked People?"

Yang Yi hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded, "Yes, I’m very interested in the Grey-cloaked People. It seems I need to contact Yarebin. It would be better if he could provide more details."
