Chapter 338 -178: Causes and Consequences

Nobody expected that near the Louvre Museum in Paris, two of the world’s four famous detectives—one from China and one from Britain—had gathered together. Their meeting was not for reminiscing, but for plotting against the rising star of the underworld—the Destroyer. Even the US Forces were involved, which underscored the importance they placed on this operation.

The British detective named Robin said with a mild smile, “This Destroyer is quite interesting. Since I haven’t had much to do recently, I started collecting intelligence on him and began to deduce his personality and methods. The result led me to believe that he is interested in special items. That’s why I thought of using special items as bait to lure him out. Now it seems that the Destroyer is just a warrior, without much brains, otherwise he wouldn’t have fallen for the trap.”

Zhuge Liuyun remarked, “Although the Destroyer isn’t very bright, his physical abilities are exceptionally strong, and he is highly lethal. Besides, he is greedy for money and dares to take on any task for it. Therefore, if we don’t deal with him in a timely manner, the whole world will face his threat. Our intervention this time is also in line with public sentiment, punishing evil and promoting good.”

A senior military officer dressed in a French uniform sitting at the round table expressed some dissatisfaction, “If you want to plot against the Destroyer, why not do it at your own country’s museum? Why choose our Louvre Museum in France? You must know that the Louvre is a symbol of the French spirit. Any incident could cause a national uproar. Previously, an agent planted by the Armored Men in the Louvre cut off the power supply, connecting it to the outside world, and though the Louvre’s backup power supply was activated immediately, some of the precious items which required manual control of light intensity, temperature, and humidity may have been damaged during the brief power outage. Moreover, to intercept the Armored Men, you ordered the guards to exchange fire with the enemy inside the Louvre. Though the firefight took place in ordinary rooms without collections, what if the combat area expanded and caused damage to the Louvre’s collections? Can you afford that responsibility?”

The US military officer snorted coldly, “General Alain, this operation to surround and capture the Destroyer was jointly decided by your President and our President of The United States of America. Choosing the Louvre Museum as the battlefield was proposed by your French President. So if any problems arise during the operation, you should talk to your Mr. President instead of complaining here. Additionally, you are obligated to fully cooperate with our operation and not entitled to make unnecessary remarks here.”

Facing the assertiveness of the US military officer, the French officer named Alain was somewhat at a loss for words, and in his heart, he silently resented his own President. Just then, the computer in front of Alain received a new message. He opened it, and his face changed dramatically, a look of disbelief crossing his features.

Out of concern, Zhuge Liuyun asked, “General Alain, has something unfortunate happened?”

Alain turned pale and projected the latest information from his computer onto the big screen, saying, “Gentlemen, we have just received the latest intelligence from the Louvre Museum. There has just been a major collapse underground, a breach has formed between the underground and the Seine River, and a massive amount of river water is pouring into the Louvre, destroying the power supply and causing a complete blackout. At least half of the galleries are submerged in water. Even the warehouse we used to store the authentic items has been flooded.”

The American officer was shocked and stood up abruptly, exclaiming, “Damn it, are you saying that the warehouse we used to store the real items as bait has also been flooded? What’s the status of my items stored in the warehouse now?”

Although Alain was saddened by the possible severe damage to the Louvre due to the flooding, he was wary of the domineering US military officer and had to answer his question, “General Bolton, according to the information I just received, that warehouse has definitely been flooded. Previously, through the surveillance camera inside the warehouse, we were able to see the situation, and the target was safe. But then, the surveillance camera suddenly malfunctioned, showing static, and nothing could be seen. After the flooding, the Louvre completely lost power, cutting off our connection to that camera. So now, we have no idea about the specific situation of the items you stored in the warehouse.”

Bolton, dissatisfied, said, “Didn’t you previously boast about how sturdy the architecture of the Louvre was? Otherwise, why would I have stored something so important there? If my items are damaged while in your care, I will make sure you pay the price.”

At that moment, a technician nearby suddenly spoke up, “Sorry to interrupt, gentlemen, but we have just discovered that the footage from all the surveillance cameras in the Louvre has been tampered with. What we’ve been seeing is what someone else wants us to see. This means that the footage you previously saw, showing the target safe, might also have been swapped. This can be corroborated by the fact that we found the fake items were stolen by the Armored Men, but they still appeared in the exhibition hall on the surveillance cameras.”
