Chapter 201 Family Dinner 2

The inflamed appendix was cut off, the bleeding was stopped by treatment, the wound was disinfected and sutured, and Ruiz survived successfully.

After surviving the disaster, he inexplicably felt a sense of belonging to the Haaland Territory.

Under the careful care of his wife, Ruiz recovered well. When Ruiz was about to be discharged from the hospital, he found that his wife was actually two months pregnant.

This sudden accident broke Ruiz's loyalty to Viscount Cisse. After careful consideration, he decided to surrender to the Haaland Territory.

Ruiz is not a nobleman and does not have the blood of the Cisse family. Although he has a higher income in the Cisse Territory because of his special talent, he has little loyalty and belonging to the Cisse family because of serious class contradictions.

The only thing he fears is that his family will be implicated. Vitas, the intelligence officer of the Cisse family, also threatened him with his family to make Ruiz serve the Cisse family.

Ruiz found his surgeon Griffin and explained his situation.

Griffin heard this shocking news and told Wendy immediately without delay.

Wendy informed Hayden, who immediately sent someone to find Ruiz and control him first.

Based on the clues Ruiz gave, Hayden decided to take the method of secret arrest to catch all the spies on this line.

After several years of development, the intelligence department of Harland Territory now has more than 600 people.

Half of the more than 600 staff members are foreign intelligence personnel.

There are intelligence teams in Harland Territory in Black River Castle, Flame Castle, Light Castle, Grizzly Castle, Victory City, and Osma Castle. Even Elena Castle, Pratos Castle, and Harden Castle have intelligence personnel.

The remaining half of the staff, more than 200 people, are action groups. There are six professionals in the action group, and each professional commands more than 30 people.

There are more than 100 people in the headquarters, except for file managers, interrogation experts, and special talents. The most are intelligence analysts.

After several years of training, Hayden has become a capable intelligence veteran.

He personally directed some intelligence agents wearing black woolen coats and helmets to open the spy's door, sneak in quietly, search the suspicious person's room, and find some valuable evidence.

The Intelligence Department has always attached great importance to strictly guarding the territory's technical secrets, and has sent a large number of detectives to be responsible for this matter. The territory not only has a decree prohibiting migration, but also has established a strict confidentiality system and surveillance system to effectively prevent the leakage of technology.

In addition, Richard will send people to publicize to the contract servants and rely on the power of the masses to find spies.

Due to various restrictions, it is difficult for intelligence personnel from outside to collect useful information in a short period of time.

Perhaps these systems cannot completely prevent the leakage of technology, such as the white wine with simple process, which was leaked to the outside this year.

But as long as the technology can be delayed for one day, the Harland territory can earn one more day of gold coins.

The merits of the intelligence personnel are clear in Richard's mind. At the end of each year, Richard will take time to meet with the main intelligence personnel, listen to their opinions, and ask about their requirements.

Ruiz was a very important intelligence officer in Viscount Cisse's territory. Hayden made great gains by following his lead and caught more than a dozen intelligence officers planted and infiltrated by Viscount Cisse.

Through interrogation, these people explained everything clearly.

Those who can withstand interrogation must be people with firm will and faith in their hearts. Such people are very rare even in Harland Territory.

None of the intelligence officers planted by the Cisse family have firm will.

Richard listened to Hayden's report. After a long silence, he sighed and said, "It was a coincidence that Viscount Cisse's intelligence network was dug out this time. Viscount Cisse was able to place intelligence personnel in the microscope research team. Will other nobles have hidden personnel deeper? You have to consider this carefully. The confidential factories and research teams must be carefully checked to ensure 100% safety."

"What are you going to do with Ruiz and others?"

"I plan to absorb these people into the intelligence department and let them provide Viscount Cisse with some unimportant intelligence. At the critical moment, they will pass on false intelligence to hit the opponent hard."

"You are right to let out a long fishing line to catch a big fish. But you must be careful when operating and don't reveal any flaws. Viscount Cisse was able to determine so quickly that we attacked the Elena Castle Casino. The officer in charge of intelligence is not a simple person."

After digging out Viscount Cisse's intelligence network, there has been no major events in the territory.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the eve of the Goddess's birthday.

The eve of the Goddess's birthday was when the Harland family gathered. Compared to last year, there was a new member who attended the party, that is, Richard and Sofia's eldest daughter Margaret.

Margaret had her birthday in March, and now she is almost two years old, and she has passed the babbling stage.

Richard is busy every day, either making enchanted armor or patrolling the territory, and he also has to take time to practice breathing and meditation.

When he has a little free time, he also has to think about the development of the territory.

Sofia doesn't particularly like to take care of children, and she also has to spend time on magic research.

In fact, neither of them fulfilled their parental responsibilities and was unable to accompany their children for too long. The one who really stayed with the children every day was Sofia's assistant Anne, and Margaret had a closer relationship with Anne.

After nightfall, William's mansion in Black River Castle was brightly lit.

Margaret looked at the magic lamp with great curiosity, and occasionally moved it with her fingers. Her abundant energy and strong curiosity made her have a lot of fun.

This year's family banquet still seemed very luxurious, with music and dance.

The servants carried fruit wine and wine glasses and walked through the crowd. The hall was filled with precious food.

In June this year, Mrs. Kelly was pregnant again.

It seems that Mrs. Kelly has been very favored by William in recent years. She was very energetic at the banquet, which was a world of difference from her timidity two years ago.

In July this year, Uncle Bernie broke through the realm and became a fifth-level professional.

According to common sense, fifth-level professionals generally serve as captains. But the two brothers are both captains in the Northern Legion, and their influence is too great.

Bernie doesn't want to go back to the territory to develop, he wants to continue working in the army.

Now William is communicating with the commander of the Zakli Legion, preparing to transfer Bernie to the Crazy Lion Legion. If everything goes well, he will serve as the captain of the seventh battalion of the Crazy Lion Legion next year.

If the third uncle goes to Flame Castle to take office, the influence of the Harland family in Flame Castle will be stronger. Now the business of the Harland family in Flame Castle mainly relies on Richard's relationship to protect it.

Richard's old comrades in the Crazy Lion Legion, Diarra, Dida and others have developed well, and Ron has made some friends over the years while serving in the Crazy Lion Legion.

However, as the scale of the Harland family's business in Flame Castle is getting bigger and bigger, relying on the relationship of comrades is no longer enough.

At that time, with the transfer of the third uncle Bernie to the captain of the Crazy Lion Legion, and the care of Diarra, the deputy captain, the Harland family's business in Flame Castle will be stable.

Although the liquor market has been given to the Sisse family, the Harland family can still sell steel products, brown sugar, honey, woolen cloth, sweaters, and glass products in Flame Castle, and the annual income is still very considerable.

Viscount Sisse has a great influence in Flame Castle. If there is no powerful person to take care of it, the Harland family's business in Flame Castle will not be able to continue.

After all, Diara is not a member of the Harland family. At most, he can support Richard. Diara is not suitable for many things, and Richard cannot let him intervene.

Ron's position is lower and his strength is weaker. He can't support the situation at a critical moment.

This year's business has been affected to some extent. There are constant troublemakers and several robberies. Not only were the payment for goods robbed, but some people also died. If it continues to deteriorate like this, the Harland family's business organization will be driven out of the Flame Castle.

It's the right time for Uncle Bernie to be transferred to the Crazy Lion Legion.
