Mythology Rebooted-Chapter 410 - 190: The Iceman Project, Sir Wei_2

The Security Bureau, also known as the National Security Agency, is officially called Section Five of the Military Intelligence Department;

The Secret Intelligence Bureau, Section Six of the Military Intelligence Department, is currently not very well known and has a wide jurisdiction, basically not involving human affairs;

The Government Communications Headquarters also doesn’t really meddle in human affairs and is best at wiretapping and opening other people’s mail in secret.

It was the Secret Intelligence Bureau that approached Austin, which is to say, MI6. Its subsidiary had launched a series of collaborations with the Magic Department and jointly devised the ’Ice Man Project’.

As the name suggests, the spies executing this mission were known as ’Deep Sleepers.’ Their memories were erased and they were sent abroad, to be reactivated when needed, to burn for the Queen.

Wayne had bad luck. He didn’t burn, and Frank repackaged him and sent him back to Lundan.

MI6 was clueless, so they had their contact find Wayne to awaken his memory prematurely and ask if the Ice Man Project had been blown.

After confirming it was just a coincidence, the contact person instructed Wayne to shine and send the wrong intel back to Frank.

Afterwards...

It was a dark and stormy night when the Magician Girl, cloaked in black, walked into the Wayne Detective Agency with a muscled man and a cat.

"I must say, your memory had already been awakened, yet you kept pretending you didn’t know, and you even deceived me..."

Austin’s entire face darkened at the thought of that female star. No wonder the little pervert could resist the temptation of beauty—they were in on it together, fully understanding each other, it would be a miracle if they had succeeded.

If only he had been more attentive at that moment instead of trusting so-called outsourcing, he would have had sufficient reason to get rid of the little trash bin.

Wayne said nothing and was shivering the whole time.

Austin continued sarcastically, "You seized the opportunity to learn Magic, not wanting to be controlled by the intelligence department, and sent your handler to jail three times in a row. They are quite unhappy with you over there!"

Wayne: ∑(O_O;)

The handler who went to prison three times in a row...

Who, Little Mustache?

Good heavens, he’s not just my handler; he’s the handler!

Wayne clutched his chest and mourned for Little Mustache for 0.25 seconds, deeply moved by the drastic ups and downs of life—the news was just terrific.

Although both Windsor and Frank are cut from the same cloth, when it comes to inhumanity, Windsor goes even further, but Frank has too many quirks—it’s just too good that he’s not the countryman raising his hand.

In an instant, the fragments of Wayne’s memories interconnected in his mind.

Dark room, bare lightbulb, fists and kicks—not the training of Frank’s intelligence agency but Windsor’s, and yet his entire set of espionage skills all came from the thorough training by Frank’s intelligence department.

They even paired him with a stunningly beautiful partner.

So, the decadence of the original identity wasn’t due to seeing the truth of the world; it was confusion after memory unsealing, not knowing which country to be loyal to, hence choosing to let everything fall apart.

Wayne figured out the cause and effect, and then...

What a drag, what does his former self have to do with him? Besides bearing the same name, there’s nothing else they share.

It’s just like that someone; right, Andy Lau. With the same name, some are kings, and others are Pigsy.

Now free from the shadow of a spy, Wayne’s confidence had grown considerably—he was a hero, ready to lay down his life for his country, deserving of a Knight’s Medal.

Without looking back, Austin kept sneering, "Don’t get too pleased with yourself. Your dual identity ensures the intelligence departments won’t let you off, and now that you have become the heir of the Tulip Family, both Windsor and Frank’s intelligence departments will take action against you. War is imminent, think about how you will escape!"

"I’m already the heir to the Tulip Family, why should I still be a spy? I’ve never even received a salary, do I need to risk my life?" Wayne waved his hand, believing Austin would take care of this.

Austin remained silent if he had to say anything, it was just one sentence.

War is about to break out!

Once the national war machine starts, everyone will be drawn into the abyss by the maelstrom of war, including the Tulip Family who can’t just escape if they wish to.

In the minister’s office building.

The previously departed Yvette waited with a smile at the entrance of the Knighting Ceremony Hall, pushing open the grand doors, leading father and son onto the red carpet.

Austin slowed his pace, signaling Wayne to go ahead, talk less, nod more, and not to spout nonsense to the minister.

Wayne followed Yvette with a solemn face, his eyes forward, and saw the current Windsor King—Sophia Arthur Windsor.

The Queen’s name was long, generally taken from the beginning, middle, and end; the first was her given name, the middle denoted royalty, and the last was the surname.

The Queen stood gracefully and dignified, beautiful yet solemn. Just by looking at her appearance, she seemed to be in her thirties, not yet forty, with a delicate, beautiful and well-maintained face.

Considering her real age, she must also be a Mage.

Quite pretty!

Wayne kept his gaze straight, following Yvette and Austin, and bowed in reverence together.

Sophia smiled slightly, "Austin, is he really not your illegitimate son?"

Austin: (눈_눈)

Without getting a direct answer from Austin, Sophia turned to Wayne, examined him up and down for a while, and asked, "Wayne, are you Austin’s illegitimate son?"

"I am entirely at the Queen’s command." freewёbnoνel.com

Wayne placed one hand on his chest and politely said, "If you say so, even if I were the Devil’s illegitimate son, I would acknowledge it."

Austin: (눈‸눈)

I told you not to talk nonsense to the Queen!

Sophia nodded, "Indeed, he does look the part. I’ll just consider you Austin’s illegitimate son then."

As per the rules of noble succession, an illegitimate child does not have the right to inherit titles; it is a classic case of the child’s status being dependent on the mother. From this perspective, it made sense for Austin to go to great lengths to make Wayne his heir and to even arrange a marriage for his daughter to make it all legitimate.
