Make France Great Again-Chapter 951 - 942: Spy Among Spies

"Is everything settled?"

Felix Godan, upon returning to the National Intelligence Bureau, was immediately called into the office by Marcel Yale to inquire about the progress.

"Those people have been so thoroughly misled by me that they’re completely lost! I estimate they’ll head to the Opera House for the assassination soon, and by then, all we need to do is capture them!" Felix Godan responded respectfully to Marcel Yale of the National Intelligence Bureau.

"You’ve done well, Felix! I will request a commendation for you in front of His Majesty the Emperor!" Marcel Yale nodded in satisfaction and then painted a grand picture for Felix Godan.

"This is all I should do!" Felix Godan replied with a humble smile.

Unexpectedly, Marcel Yale shifted his tone, speaking to Felix Godan with a slight hint of threat: "However, you’d better keep this matter to yourself!

In this world, good people don’t die, bad people don’t die, only foolish people die!

I don’t want you to be that foolish person, Mr. Felix Godan!"

Upon hearing Marcel Yale’s threat, a look of panic immediately appeared on Felix Godan’s face, and he hurriedly responded to Marcel Yale: "Rest assured! I know everything!"

"That’s good!" Marcel Yale, like changing faces in Sichuan opera, showed a smile again. He patted Felix Godan on the shoulder and continued to paint a grand picture: "Felix, you’re a smart person!

I like dealing with smart people, and when I retire, I will surely recommend you to His Majesty.

By then, this position of mine will be yours!"

"Sir Marcel, my nature is rather lazy, and I have no interest in the position of Director of the National Intelligence Bureau!" Felix Godan waved his hand and quickly responded to Marcel Yale.

Felix Godan knew well that Marcel Yale’s words were just a casual remark, nothing to be taken seriously.

Every leader hopes to hold onto power, not to mention Marcel Yale is only in his forties, at the height of his career.

If nothing goes wrong, he has at least 10 to 20 more years to "contribute" to France.

Felix Godan is only about ten years younger than him.

By the time Marcel Yale retires, Felix Godan would be close to entering his grave.

Perhaps Felix Godan might even leave this world before Marcel Yale does.

So, Marcel Yale’s words were purely for show.

Seeing Felix Godan decisively choose to refuse, Marcel Yale once again revealed a satisfied smile.

Superiors favor smart subordinates but also guard against them.

Thus, a subordinate who knows how to act could pose a threat to his position.

Marcel Yale’s remarks about recommending him to the Emperor after retirement, although also hinted at valuing talent, were more of a test towards Felix Godan.

The result was that Felix Godan’s answer left Marcel Yale very satisfied.

Regardless of whether he himself was compelled by circumstances or simply disliked the National Intelligence Bureau, his attitude at least satisfied Marcel Yale.

If Felix Godan had shown an extremely ambitious attitude, Marcel Yale would have considered finding an opportunity to eliminate him.

A person who is too ambitious would not be satisfied with their current position and would do everything possible to climb up.

By that time, Marcel Yale would just be a stepping stone for Felix Godan.

"You don’t want to be the Director of the National Intelligence Bureau?" Marcel Yale tested Felix Godan once more, intentionally patting the armrest of the chair beside him and saying, "This position is not a bit inferior to that of a Cabinet Minister or Secretary General!"

"Sir Marcel, being the leader of a department is too exhausting!" Felix Godan explained, "I wouldn’t want to live such a tiring life!"

"Then what do you want?" Marcel Yale asked teasingly.

"If I could stand under the sun with dignity, that would be enough!" Felix Godan responded to Marcel Yale.

"That thought of yours is quite extravagant!" Marcel Yale shook his head and said, "For people like us, stepping into the sunlight means giving up this identity and starting anew!"

"Sir Marcel, starting anew isn’t necessarily bad!" Felix Godan also responded to Marcel Yale.

"Ah! Well! Everyone has their ambitions!" Marcel Yale sighed theatrically, "As long as you work hard, I will find an appropriate time to assign you a new identity and let you start a new life!"

"Thank you very much!" Felix Godan bowed to Marcel Yale as he said gratefully.

"Alright! If there’s nothing else, you can leave!" After testing Felix Godan, Marcel Yale issued an order for him to leave.

"Yes!" Felix Godan stood at attention, saluted Marcel Yale, and then left his office.

The room was left with only Marcel Yale alone. She slowly sat in the chair symbolizing the power of the National Intelligence Bureau and mumbled, "I must deploy defensive forces as soon as possible!"

...

On the other hand, Felix Godan, after leaving Marcel Yale’s office, greeted and left the National Intelligence Bureau.

Subsequently, Felix Godan arrived at a café, ordered a cup of coffee, and sat on the balcony to savor it carefully.

After a while, a gentleman in a black coat appeared obliquely opposite Felix Godan.

Upon seeing the gentleman, Felix Godan asked the waiter next to him where the café’s restroom was!

The waiter enthusiastically informed Felix Godan of the restroom’s location, and Felix Godan proceeded straight to the restroom.

At this moment, the restroom was empty. Now, inside the restroom, after taking care of his business, Felix Godan lit a cigarette.

After a while, the man in the gentleman’s coat also appeared in the restroom.

After greeting each other in the restroom, they chatted briefly about "family matters" before returning to their respective seats.

Marcel Yale, having returned to his seat, drank the coffee in his cup in one gulp before returning to the National Intelligence Bureau.

Some other gentlemen also left the café not long after Marcel Yale, and the place they were heading back to was none other than the "archenemy" of the National Intelligence Bureau, the Ministry of the Interior of France. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

This gentleman was the chief secretary to Percy, the Minister of Internal Affairs of France.

As for why Felix Godan got involved with the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

It was, of course, because during the previous mission to surveil Achille Fuld, a small accident occurred.

Causing Felix Godan to almost be tortured as a foreign spy by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

(Since the Ministry of Internal Affairs acted in secret, the National Intelligence Bureau did not know.)

Upon learning the other party was from the National Intelligence Bureau, Minister Percy was overjoyed.

He believed he’d finally caught something against the National Intelligence Bureau, as Marcel Yale had surveilled an Imperial Minister without the Emperor’s authorization, which was practically treasonous.

Consequently, Percy hurriedly reported this information to Jerome Bonaparte.

After listening to Percy’s report, Jerome Bonaparte asked where he got the information.

Percy then recounted the process of capturing Felix Godan to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Felix Godan?" Jerome Bonaparte murmured, "I remember when I was cleansing Paris of crime, there was also someone named Felix Godan!

He seemed to be the head of a gang at the time.

Do they have any relation?"

"Your Majesty, except for their identical names, they have no other relation!" Percy replied to Jerome Bonaparte.

"Alright then! Bring him here!" After hesitating for a moment, Jerome Bonaparte changed his mind and responded to Percy, "Never mind, I’ll go there myself!"

Percy and Jerome Bonaparte secretly arrived at the Ministry of Internal Affairs by carriage.

Felix Godan, staying at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, recognized Jerome Bonaparte at first glance and hurriedly bowed to him, saying, "Your Majesty!"

"Mr. Felix, you have quite the audacity! Openly surveilling an Imperial Minister!" Jerome Bonaparte initially rebuked Felix Godan assertively.

"Your Majesty, I was acting under orders!" Felix Godan defended himself with a frightened expression.

"Under orders? Whose orders?" Jerome Bonaparte continued to ask sternly, "I don’t recall issuing an order for the National Intelligence Bureau to surveil a minister!"

"Your Majesty, it was Marcel Yale who ordered me to surveil Minister Achille Fuld!

He said Minister Achille Fuld was suspected of betraying the Empire, so he ordered me to surveil him!" Felix Godan decisively shifted the blame to Marcel Yale.

"Your Majesty, Marcel Yale is unbelievably bold! He dares to openly surveil an Imperial Minister without notifying you!" Percy, standing beside, immediately added fuel to the fire.

"Indeed! Marcel Yale’s boldness is indeed a bit excessive!" Jerome Bonaparte responded with a calm expression, refusing to be provoked by Percy’s few words.

Subsequently, Jerome Bonaparte turned his gaze to Felix Godan and asked if he would be willing to serve him.

Faced with the sudden olive branch, Felix Godan agreed decisively.

Immediately after, Jerome Bonaparte told Felix Godan to ensure that all actions of the National Intelligence Bureau would be reported to him.

Jerome Bonaparte would also do his best to help Felix Godan advance within the National Intelligence Bureau system.
