Laura's Beautiful Journey

After discussion, the villagers decided to stay on the land and continue living.

Professor Charles donated 300 million US dollars to them in his own name. After waking up, Uncle Wolf learned that the leader of the villagers died to save himself and others. With his construction skills full, he decided to stay and help rebuild the village.

After discussing with Sophia, Laura and Sophia decided that the Croft Group would carry out protective excavation and research on the ancient city of Kit. It could also be opened to the public as an attraction in the future, bringing some income to the villagers.

The next day, Ophelia was picked up by Coulson sent by Ludan, and Anna flew back to London with Laura.

In the underground laboratory of Crawford Manor, Laura and Ethan were checking Anna's body data.

"The cancer cells are still there, but there is an energy in her body that continues to fight, so all the data are basically normal."

Ethan held a tablet and said while recording data.

"Does this mean I'm going to die eventually?"

Anna became anxious upon hearing this, and her body temperature suddenly rose to nearly 100c.

Laura directly pushed her back to the operating table and gave her an injection.

"Calm down, this thing is not very stable. It can save your life but it can also kill you in an instant!"

Next, Laura briefly explained to Anna the effects and side effects of the Extremis virus, as well as the need for regular injections of special inhibitors.

Anna calmed down quickly. She knew that the inhibitor was Laura's backup plan, but feeling that her physical condition was the same as when she was healthy, and even more comfortable, she didn't care about the details at all.

"I understand. Thank you, Laura. It's my turn to help you next."

She stood up and said to Laura very solemnly.

That afternoon, Anna took Laura and sneaked into an abandoned subway station below London.

Entering the interior through a sewer, Laura discovered that this "abandoned" subway station was heavily guarded and was completely like an underground fortress.

The two relied on their optical camouflage uniforms to avoid the patrol's sight, and arrived at an old-fashioned subway car quite smoothly.

After groping around in the car, Ana opened a seat and took out a bag from it and handed it to Laura.

Laura put the things into her backpack, grabbed Ana who was about to walk out, and put a mask on her.

"Okay, you can talk now. This thing is soundproof, and internal communications are encrypted in real time."

"What are you talking about? Have I given you the documents and evidence?"

"This place is heavily guarded and has complete security facilities. It is not a 'broken subway station' as you said when you came here."

"This is the British headquarters of Holy Trinity. Let's discuss the details when we go out. I always feel flustered when I stay here."

Laura thought about it and finally agreed, but before leaving, she left a modified drone behind.

On the way back to the manor, Anna told Laura what she knew.

As a once-dominated church organization, the Holy Trinity originally originated on the European continent.

In the Middle Ages, relying on a large amount of financial resources, manpower and the spread of "teachings", the religious order's sphere of influence even covered the entire Europe, and the actual control of many countries was in their hands.

In the 15th century, the Renaissance first emerged in various Italian city-states, and then quickly spread to Western European countries. It reached its peak in the 16th century, ushering in a period of scientific and artistic revolution and opening the prelude to modern European history.

People who experienced this change gradually changed their previous pessimistic and despairing attitude towards real life and began to pursue the pleasures of secular life. These tendencies were contrary to the "abstinence" proposition of the order.

As a result, the old and new ideas of that period launched a comprehensive collision in the cultural, economic, and military fields.

Ultimately, the Order was defeated and people across Europe were "free."

However, the Holy Trinity Order has not given up. They have been dormant in the darkness and have been committed to infiltrating their minions into the new governments established in various European countries, and have deepened their research on various mysterious powers.

According to Anna, the hidden power of the Holy Trinity has once again enveloped European countries, and has even spread to Africa, America and other colonies along with the colonists.

This time, Laura finally had a clearer understanding of this old rival.

As for the leather bag Anna hid, the documents and photos inside were scanned by Rachel to confirm that they had not been tampered with. The content was why Anna was sent to get close to Richard, and what information was sent back to Holy Trinity in the process. And ordered Anna to get rid of Richard multiple times.

"Who gave the order to kill my father? Who did it in the end?"

Laura put down the document in her hand, with a cold light in her eyes.

Ana stretched out her hand to put her arm around Laura’s shoulders as before, but she silently put it down midway.

"The one who made the decision was Dr. Domiguez. I don't know his origins very well. I only know that he is a person who has been trained by the organization since childhood. As for the person who did it... it was Rourke, the natural executioner!"

Speaking of this, Anna's hand holding the back of the chair gradually used strength.

"Clap"

Even the hard Nanmu couldn't bear the power strengthened by the Extremis virus.

Anna looked embarrassed, and she was holding a piece of wood that was smoking black in her hand. Laura couldn't help it when she saw this scene, and finally laughed out loud.

"Stinky girl! You're still laughing!"

Anna, who was so angry that she could no longer care about anything else, raised her hand and slapped Laura on the head.

After this, the relationship between the two seemed to have eased a lot.

"What's your plan next?"

Laura threw a dessert into her mouth and handed the plate over. Ana picked one up and put it in her mouth.

"Well, it's too sweet."

"Tch~ If you don't know how to enjoy it, this is obviously a delicacy in the world."

Seeing her frowning and waving her hands, Laura decisively placed the plate directly in front of her and continued to eat one bite at a time.

"Next I want to stay in London, keep an eye on the Holy Trinity, and use their resources to try to find Constantine."

Laura nodded. Anna’s choice had no conflict of interest with her.

"Okay, then you should be careful and pay attention to the news about those two people. I will also help you keep an eye on Constantine."

"Well, I will do it even if you don't tell me. I don't mind giving them a surprise."

After setting the time and process for exchanging information and inhibitors every month, Anna left the Crawford Manor full of fighting spirit.

Laura asked Rachel to edit a portion of the previously collected Kit City footage and send it to her mentor in the Department of Archeology at Harvard University.

She herself climbed to the roof carrying a basket of fine desserts made by the old butler, and enjoyed a leisurely afternoon tea after a long absence.
