Chapter 152: The Gentlemen's Alliance (Please Collect and Recommend)

This is not the first time Steve has come to Europe. As early as 1809, he was commissioned by the U.S. federal government to come to Europe to investigate a transnational terrorist attack. At that time, the United States was more of a bystander to understand the series of terrorist attacks that occurred in Europe. At that time (including the time point of the story), the United States did not have the status of a world policeman, let alone the foundation of a superpower after World War II. At best, it was just a marginal country. Although it was a big country, Europe looked down on them. So the United States did not intend to participate excessively. Steve was equivalent to an investigator or intelligence collector.

As a result, Steve tracked down the Spectre Party by mistake, and then joined Courtman and his team who were privately commissioned by the British Empire to investigate. So after a while, Steve joined Courtman and his team to investigate the Spectre Party.

The members of the investigation team at that time were:

The legendary adventurer, the immortal-Alan Courtman;

The captain of the Nautilus-Captain Nemo, the Nautilus is a giant submarine that surpasses contemporary technology by decades, and all kinds of black technology are jaw-dropping. The ship is driven entirely by electricity, which is extracted from seawater and mixed with mercury to form an alloy that replaces the zinc element in the Bunsen battery unit, and then converted into electricity and stored in the battery.

Dr. Hyde, a schizophrenic scientific madman, developed a transformation potion that can transform into a powerful monster.

Vampire Queen Mina Harker, who does not need much introduction. →

The Invisible Man - Schirner, whose ability is the same as his name, is invisible.

The Immortal Handsome Man - Dorian Gray, whose ability is that he can never die, but he is afraid of seeing his own portrait.

They call themselves the League of Gentlemen, and only Steve is a standard ordinary person.

They gradually discovered the conspiracy of the Spectre Party, which wants to provoke wars between countries, and then sell arms to various countries for profit, and finally achieve the goal of controlling the world. But in the later period, Dorian Gray betrayed them and copied their respective abilities by scientific methods.

Finally, Courtman took the most dangerous adventure. They found the lair of the Spectre Party, smashed the evil organization, and finally blew up all kinds of high-tech weapons collected by the Spectre Party.

It was also in this operation that Courtman "sacrificed". In addition to Courtman, Dorian Gray was sealed in the portrait, and the invisible man Schirner died of subsequent complications one year after the mission due to extensive burns all over his body.

Others also went their separate ways. It was not until today that Steve met everyone in the Gentlemen's League again. So it was inevitable that he was a little excited, so much so that he forgot that there was a beautiful woman around him. It was still the old gentleman Courtman who was more careful. He deliberately pulled Diana into their conversation during the conversation.

"Steve, this beautiful lady is...?"

"Oh, let me introduce you, this is..." Steve woke up from his excitement at this time and hurried to introduce Diana to everyone. This is why Mina wanted to break up with Steve. He has the common problem of all men in this era, male chauvinism. Although he liked Diana very much, he still unconsciously treated Diana as his appendage, not because of ability, but because of gender.

Unfortunately, Diana didn't buy his tricks at all. She was an Amazon princess and a natural feminist. She could understand that Steve ignored her because of the reunion of old friends. But now she didn't need Steve to introduce herself. As a warrior, she was not so timid that she couldn't even say her own name.

So Diana interrupted Steve and started to introduce herself. "My name is Diana Prince, from Paradise Island, an Amazon warrior!"

Steve breathed a sigh of relief. At least Diana didn't draw her sword and said that she was the daughter of Queen Hippolyta. It was a great improvement.

Others looked at each other because they had never heard of Paradise Island.

"Paradise Island? Amazon? Uh... I have been to many places and seen many nations in my life, but forgive me for being rude, I have never heard of these two names." Cotman has been adventuring all over the world all his life. His footprints can be said to be all over the world. It is really rare to have never heard of a place or a nation.

Diana was about to explain, but Steve interrupted her.

"This is very complicated and... how should I put it, unbelievable..." Diana is different from ordinary people. Many things that seem natural to her are not so obvious to others. In order to avoid the scene becoming a hundred thousand whys, Steve decided to explain the matter to others according to his own understanding.

However, even so, after listening to Steve's narration, the others were still confused, and even Mina, who had always been resentful, looked over in surprise.

After a while, Dr. Jekyll and Hyde asked, "Is this true? I mean, are the Amazon warriors and the Olympian gods real?"

Steve made a helpless expression. "Amazon? That's true. I know it's hard to believe, but it's true. I saw with my own eyes a group of female warriors riding horses with bows and arrows to kill a group of Germans on the beach. As for the Olympian gods..."

"Olympus is real!" Diana didn't like Steve's questioning of her race's history and beliefs. "Paradise Island is the sanctuary given to the Amazon by Zeus! And our enemy is Ares, the god of war!"

Diana seemed very serious, and the others were well-educated gentlemen. Even if they didn't believe it at all, they wouldn't show it.

Courtman even brought up a bunch of questions about Greek mythology to discuss with Diana, which made Diana very comfortable. At least Courtman was much better than Steve's indifference. Although the others didn't believe it either, Diana's erudition also made them very interested, and even Mina couldn't help but talk to Diana.

Just when they were talking lively, a nun walked in.

The nun's dress was very strange. Although the overall religious clothing was still black, the collar and brim were white. But the details were very different from traditional nuns. First of all, this nun's dress was very close-fitting, even the cuffs were shrunk, and it even felt a bit tight, which highlighted the nun's lines, was very suitable for sports, and looked very neat. Secondly, the nun's hooded cape was very long and large, almost dragging on the ground. At the same time, the cape also wrapped the nun's whole body, revealing only her face, and even her hands were tightly hidden.

"Everyone, Pastor Dalton invites you." After the nun came in, she did not greet them, and asked them to follow her directly.

...

The group followed the nun to the back of the chapel, where there was a small altar, and an old priest was doing the aftermath of the ceremony.

After seeing Steve and his group, the old priest did not stop his work, but asked the nun to help clean up as soon as possible.

"Catherine, help clean up."

With the help of Sister Catherine, they quickly put the holy objects used in the ceremony into the storage box. Then Sister Catherine moved the holy objects away alone.

"Okay, it seems that everyone has reminisced about the past, let's get down to business."

After that, Pastor Dalton took out a letter of appointment signed by King George V of England from a small secret compartment on the altar and handed it to Courtman.

"Before that, you must sign a legally binding letter of authorization, and we need you to keep it strictly confidential."
