The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

Khalifa and Spandam don't have much affection for each other. One of the reasons why the female agent said goodbye to her old boss was to say goodbye to her past self.

Now that she can finally take off the two identities of CP9 and CP0, Kalifa feels relieved. Although she has returned to the familiar field to continue her intelligence work, the naval commanders are unlikely to send her abroad.

Just as Kalifa and her family expected, without the shackles of the Five Elders, the Navy's ambitions gradually expanded, and they began to recruit professional talents from outside. Kalifa's resume was very impressive, and her behavior was relatively normal.

She went to Rome to report for duty the next day. She was received by the second-in-command of the Intelligence Bureau, who was very enthusiastic when they met and gave Khalifa enough face. The other party wanted his subordinate to familiarize himself with the navy's style and cooperate with the navy headquarters to maintain intelligence operations as soon as possible.

When Khalifa joined the Intelligence Bureau, she became a core member. The Navy paid her very well and she could enjoy vacations and bonuses every year. The Navy was much more generous than the World Government in terms of paying her.

Khalifa thought that the newly established Intelligence Bureau was a large makeshift team. The original intelligence system of the Navy was too outdated and the Navy Marshal could no longer tolerate it, so he disbanded them and assigned them to other departments of the Navy.

There are many important positions in the newly established intelligence agency that have not been filled. Khalifa came at the right time, otherwise the second-in-command of the intelligence agency would not have come to pick her up in person.

Faced with familiar work and unfamiliar working environment, Khalifa quickly got into work mode, compiling opinions for the fledgling intelligence agency, conducting large-scale external intelligence work, and what matters to pay attention to, etc.

Unexpectedly, she had to work overtime until late at night. In the end, two colleagues from the intelligence department escorted Khalifa all the way to the small apartment assigned to her by the navy.

Due to the large number of people joining the city of Rome during this period, housing conditions became very tight, so high-rise buildings had to be temporarily constructed, with each room turned into a small apartment.

As much as possible, every person serving the navy and their family members will be given at least one separate room, but this new building is already full, so Khalifa can only choose to live in the old building.

After Khalifa saw off her two new colleagues, she lay in bed unable to sleep. Then she got up and walked to the balcony to light a cigarette. "The women's cigarettes provided taste pretty good. They really take care of women. The tobacco leaves are not too spicy and even have some spices in them."

Soon the balcony was filled with smoke. The insomniac Khalifa smoked one cigarette after another, and each one went through her lungs completely. Perhaps only the nicotine in the cigarettes could temporarily numb the distress in the woman's mind.

"Newcomer"?

Since the entire building is divided into countless small apartments, the location of each balcony is almost the same, and the balconies between the small apartments are very close. As long as you have the courage, you can easily cross to another balcony.

A middle-aged woman with long crimson hair, wearing a green plaid shirt, also had a cigarette in her mouth and was about to smoke. I didn't expect to meet a smoking buddy so late. Sure enough, today was a sleepless night for the adults.

"I just moved here tonight. I'm Khalifa from the Intelligence Bureau. We'll be neighbors in the future so we can get to know each other better." Khalifa rarely found someone to chat with, and the other party looked to be in her thirties or forties, a mature woman. Maybe she could hear a different story about the navy from her.

"Bellhill, it's a pity that our family is not a navy. At most, we are considered as navy's relatives, right..." Bellhill said this with some lack of confidence. However, the family of three was treated very well in the navy headquarters, and almost no outsiders disturbed them.

The apartment next door has been vacant for a long time. If there was no other place to live, the Intelligence Bureau would not have used this room. Some rules have been broken. I don't know if the Intelligence Bureau can withstand the pressure from the Navy Admiral.

Khalifa was confused after hearing what her neighbor said. Bellhill was neither a navy officer nor a navy family member, so how could he be assigned to this apartment?

Normally, this apartment would only be allocated to important people in the navy, and the families of ordinary navy grassroots personnel could only squeeze into the smaller dormitory space in the outer city.

This is the inner city of Rome, the real world political and military center. It is a place where every inch of land is so expensive that you cannot even buy a piece of land with money. It is impossible for the navy to give such an important room to a family without background.

Before Khalifa could expose this clumsy lie, the cry of a little girl was heard in Bellshire's house. Soon, a barefoot, silver-haired, red-eyed loli ran to the window sill and threw herself into the arms of the middle-aged woman.

"So scary...so scary...so many people were eaten..."

Bellshire put out the cigarette in his hand, gently stroked the girl's beautiful silver hair, and wiped away his adopted daughter's tears with his fingers, "Illya, you have a nightmare again, don't be afraid, your black bodyguard and I will always be by your side, the Navy Headquarters is the safest place."

Another big black man in the room heard the girl crying and immediately woke up from his sleep. He began to walk towards the balcony with big strides, and every step he took caused the whole room to shake.

Belshire quickly stopped the other party's behavior, "Berserker, don't come over here today. Don't you know how heavy you are? The last time you and Illya were basking in the sun, you stepped on the balcony and it collapsed. The balcony was just repaired not long ago. Don't make me have no balcony to use."

Berserker, who had a single-minded mind, was scolded by the hostess of the house. He showed a rare expression of grievance. Thinking of how he stepped on the balcony and collapsed it again a few days ago, which almost caused Illya to be injured, the muscular man became completely honest.

Illya wiped away her tears and hopped barefoot to Berserker again, "Let's go out to bask in the sun next time. We can try to expand the range of activities then."

Berserker nodded frantically after hearing what the girl said, every word of Illya was a law of heaven to the Berserker, he would abide by it in his own way, but he was simple in expressing his emotions, sometimes he would destroy things if he had a bad temper.

Illya gradually forgot the nightmare she had just had. After that, she was very polite. She greeted the new neighbor sister next door, introduced her name, and also invited Kalifa to visit her home.

Berserker half-leaned out of the balcony, imitating the little adult Illya to greet them. Faced with such a strange family combination, Kalifa planted a seed of curiosity in her heart.

The neighboring family of three do not look similar at all, and are definitely a reconstituted family put together at the last minute. Bellhill speaks very maturely, and he probably has been doing business at sea for many years.

Illya is a smart and pretty little girl who is eloquent and must have suffered a lot in her childhood. As for the black burly man named Berserker, Kalifa guessed that it was not his real name, and judging from his appearance, he must have emotional defects. He is simply a monster born for battle.

As a secret agent, Carlyfa had a thorough analysis of this family. She was looking forward to the next day when she would go to the intelligence agency to check the details of her new neighbor. If the other party had a criminal record or was not a good person, the woman would move to a new living environment as soon as possible.
