Chapter 617 "Secret Operation" "Delilah Leroy is the daughter of a jeweler. She is married and has a son and a daughter. She likes opera, drama and literature. After the last incident, she is still active in the opera district, so she was discovered by my informant in less than a week... She has no habit of bringing bodyguards. When she goes out, she only has a personal maid and a male servant who does odd jobs..." Sitting in a window box in a street cafe, Janna recalled the integrated intelligence while watching the well-made and elegant lady get off her carriage and enter the Bonnie department store on Trier's prestigious Boulevard Street. Jane retracted her gaze and nodded to Anthony Reid who was standing diagonally opposite her. "It's her." "The question now is..." Franca, who was on the same side as Janna, said thoughtfully, "Is she fishing or fishing? If she is just surprised by her own induction and actually has no idea, then we may not get any valuable clues from her. If she knows that she has resonated with the 'Mirror World Fragment' and still listens to operas and watches dramas in a high-profile manner, then it is reasonable to assume that she or the people behind her want to fish out the holder of the 'Mirror World Fragment'." After a lot of analysis, Franka came to the conclusion: "It is very dangerous to deal with Delilah rashly or come into contact with her." "But the 'Magic Mirror Divination' says that our actions today are safe." Janna objected. Franka smiled slightly and said: "Don't be superstitious about divination. Besides, it may not necessarily be dangerous. It may also be that rashly contacting Delilah will lead to the interruption of subsequent clues."

"Then we just wait and see? Wait a month or two until the other party relaxes their guard before taking action?" Jana thought for a moment and straightened her back slightly, saying, "I have an idea!" "What method?" Franca was very curious. Janna pursed her lips and smiled: "Use the magical item, the 'powerful dark box', and ask it to give us a chance to briefly contact Delilah without anyone watching or seeing her. "That way, if the problem comes from the person behind Delilah, he won't know that there was contact, and the clues won't be broken. If the problem comes from Delilah, we can immediately turn contact into control." Franka thought seriously for a few seconds: “It’s not impossible… "I actually really want to try out how to use the 'Black Box of the Powerful'. Don't fight with me for it. I have a higher sequence than you and a better ability to protect my life. If there are evil creatures like demons looking for a deal, I can also ask the powerful 'Arbitrator', Ms. 'Judgement', to be a witness!" This "Witch of Joy" looks eager to try. Janna was silent for a few seconds and said: "Ok." Anthony then said: "Leave the brief contact to me. If you want to avoid leaving any clues or traces for the people behind Delilah to find out, a 'hypnotist' is the best choice." "No problem." Franca said without hesitation, then looked at Janna, waiting for her to take out the "black box of the powerful." Like many female mercenaries, Janna wore off-white clothing with brown leather armor inlaid on key parts, and carried a brown leather backpack. She took the small wooden box painted dark and with a leather curtain on each side out of her backpack and placed it on the table in the cafe's private room. After carefully considering the words of her request and the price of bribing the "powerful one", Franka lifted the sleeves of her blouse, held a small cloth bag containing one hundred gold Louis in her right hand, and reached into a membrane curtain on the side of the wooden box. Although the "instructions for use" did not say that banknotes could not be used, Franka, based on her rich experience in mysticism, still chose gold coins, a more universal item. The next second, she felt wrinkled, wet skin and felt five fingers closing together, grasping the cloth bag containing the gold coins. Holding back the sudden feeling of nausea, Franka deliberately expressed her request in Hermes: "I want to give my friend Anthony Reid, who is sitting opposite me, and Delilah from Leroy's family, a jeweler in Bonnie's department store nearby, a face-to-face opportunity that can last for more than three minutes without being disturbed or watched by anyone, and in a very private way." Franka added a lot of qualifiers to ensure that the two parties meeting and the way of meeting were precise enough and not distorted. The wrinkled, wet, palm-like thing picked up the cloth bag containing the gold coins and retracted it. This means that the "backroom of those in power" has agreed.

Franka pulled back her right hand, took out a white handkerchief and wiped the touched part, making spitting sounds. "Where can we wait for the opportunity to meet?" Anthony asked. Franca put away her handkerchief and smiled. "There are only two people in the request, one is you, and the other is Delilah Leroy, so you can only follow her to wait for the opportunity to meet her. "Um……" At this point, Franca took out the dazzling "Seven Stone Bracelet" from the "Traveler's Bag" and handed it to Anthony: "If the situation is not right, 'teleport' and escape immediately." Seeing the serious expression of the "Witch of Joy", Anthony swallowed back the polite words that were on the tip of his tongue and reached out to take the "Seven Stone Bracelet". Franca considered and said: "If you trust me, I can also use your blood and hair to make a 'mirror double' for you." Anthony was silent for a few seconds and said: "it is good." ………… Inside Bonnie's department store. As an observant "hypnotist", it didn't take Anthony long to find Delilah Leroy. The lady was standing in the middle of the first floor with her maid and butler, watching the performance of a magician invited by the department store to liven up the atmosphere. At this time, the magician's assistant pushed up a wooden box that could accommodate three or four people. The magician took off his hat, raised it high and said: “Next, I would like to invite two lucky audience members to cooperate with me in the performance. "Ma'am, I wonder if you could come up on stage and help?" He was referring to Delilah Leroy. Delilah was not very happy and showed obvious hesitation, but she couldn't say no, so she finally walked onto the wooden stage set up for magic performances. She has a weak personality and is not very good at rejecting others... It may also be the influence of the "power behind the scenes"... Anthony vaguely guessed what the opportunity for the meeting was, and while assessing Delilah's character, he took the initiative to take a step forward. The magician saw him: "This gentleman, please come up as well." Anthony acted reluctant on purpose and went onto the stage hesitantly. The magician pointed at the wooden box and said: "You guys sit inside." Delilah pursed her lips, exhaled, and at the urging of the booing audience, she got into the wooden box. Anthony sat down in the seat farthest from her, and while there was still light, he smiled and said: “I’m actually quite embarrassed.”

The words were so plain and kind that Delilah's tense mood suddenly relaxed. Anthony then said: "Don't believe me? You can look into my eyes." He pointed to his eyes. Delilah subconsciously looked over and saw the pair of dark brown eyes reflecting her own image. My figure… Delilah was suddenly stunned, and her eyes seemed to be trapped in a whirlpool that went down in circles. At this time, the magician closed the wooden box, and it was dark inside. Anthony immediately seized the opportunity and asked: "A week ago, did you have a special feeling in the opera district?" "Yes," Delilah answered truthfully, feeling that the other party was very trustworthy. "What's that feeling?" Anthony asked as he listened to the magician outside speaking his prepared lines. "My heart was beating faster and my blood was boiling," Delilah described how she felt at the time. "Do you know what that means?" Anthony asked further. Delilah shook her head in the darkness: "I don't know, but my real father told me to report to him as soon as possible if I have similar feelings." "The real father?" Anthony guessed. Delilah laughed at herself and said: "My biological father is my mother's lover, the current Minister of Industry in the government, Moran Avni." Moran Aveni…Anthony felt the magician begin to experiment with the wooden box and quickly asked the last question: "Did he say anything after he knew you had similar feelings?" "Let me not worry and live my life as usual." Delilah was actually still a little worried. Anthony said, “Hmm.” “Beautiful lady, it’s a pleasure to perform this magic with you. Can you give me something of commemorative value? "Like, a few strands of hair." His voice was deep and magnetic, which made Delilah feel that this was a very normal request. So she pulled out several strands of her hair and handed them to Anthony. After touching the hair follicles, Anthony breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice: "I don't want this to destroy your family. Once you get out of this box and hear me snap my fingers, you will forget the time we spent together here..." As the magnetic voice echoed, Delilah's thoughts became a little fuzzy again. Snapped! The wooden box opened, and only Anthony was left inside, while Delilah was pulled out from the curtain behind the stage by the magician. The audience applauded enthusiastically. When the applause died down a little and the magician put his hand on his chest and bowed to express his gratitude, Anthony quietly snapped his fingers without looking at Delilah. Delilah originally wanted to chat with this man who made her feel close to him, but after hearing the sound of "pop", her body trembled slightly. Her eyes were a little confused at first, but she soon regained consciousness. She turned and walked down the wooden platform, returning to the position between the maids and the butlers.

Anthony left at a leisurely pace and disappeared into the crowd. ………… Memorial District, 9 Orosei Street, Apartment 702. Franka smeared the ashes of Delilah's hair burned with black flames on the surface of the makeup mirror and recited the descriptive sentence of the most commonly used "magic mirror divination" object. Amid the sound of splashing water and the dim light, Franka asked: "Is the owner of this hair the 'Man in the Mirror'?" The old voice answered: "No." (End of this chapter)
