Noticing the man's unusual movement, the white-haired girl on the central command position of the control panel turned to look at him.
The man called Rafe turned around with a smile and said, "Nothing much, just a stiff neck."
If Marne were here, he would definitely recognize this man.
It was Rafe Lenore Floros, known as the "Grand Explosive".
Goetia's top employee and the primary executor of the plan to burn humanity.
"Really? Don't overwork yourself, take some rest."
The girl, unsuspecting, asked a question out of concern.
"Thank you for your concern. I know you must be tired, Director. You are in charge here, so you need to be even more careful."
"Yes, I have some."
The girl nodded and turned back to continue watching the work below.
Seeing that the other person was no longer paying attention to them, Rafe opened his squinty eyes again, thinking to himself: 'Did they chase after us? Or is it just a coincidence?'
A fierce glint flashed in his eyes: 'No matter the reason, if you dare to hinder my plans, don't blame me for being ruthless.'
But then he squinted again, as if nothing had happened.
No one noticed any of this, let alone Marx and his group.
Unaware that they had been discovered, they were in Weber's office explaining the situation to him.
"That's roughly the situation." After explaining the background of her encounter with Ma En and the others, Nian Lin looked at Ma En and asked, "Is this explanation acceptable?"
"That's good. If I hadn't explained the situation, this guy probably wouldn't have helped."
Marne nodded, glanced at the middle-aged version of Weber sitting alone opposite him, and continued to drink his tea and wait.
“You seem to know me quite well, Mr. Marne.” Berne raised an eyebrow and gave Marne a serious look.
Ma En shrugged and didn't say anything more.
Upon seeing this, Weber sighed and rubbed his forehead, looking somewhat troubled.
He never expected that one day he would be approached by such troublesome matters.
Indeed, as Marx and Engels said, knowing that such a great threat existed in the world, he naturally would not let it go unchecked.
"There's a question: why did you specifically come to me? Or rather, what kind of help do you want from me?"
"So, you agree to help?" Nian Lin understood the implication in those words and couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.
Weber did not answer, but quietly looked at Marne across from him.
“Phineas Chaldea is an institution founded by the Animusfiah family, and its prefix is ‘Institution for the Preservation of Humanity’.”
Upon hearing this, Weber's expression immediately turned somewhat strange.
Although he had never heard of this organization, it was not hard to guess from the prefix that it was closely related to the threat that Mar and Eng had mentioned.
Ma En put down his teacup and slowly said, "Although it was founded by the Animusphia family, its foundation is made up of the three major components of the Mage's Association: the Clock Tower, the Atlas Institute, and even the Wandering Sea, plus the United Nations of the ordinary world."
"Therefore, although the head of the Animusphia family is in charge of Chaldea, he is subject to supervision by the Mage's Association and the ordinary world."
"And I came to you hoping to use your influence in the Clock Tower to help me get in."
Weber took a puff of his homemade cigar, paused for a moment, and then said, "Is it just you alone?"
As she spoke, she glanced at the three women beside Ma En. Needless to say, she knew they were not simple women and were not to be trifled with.
Marne nodded and turned to the three of them, spreading out one hand.
Nero and the Lion King understood each other and, without hesitation, reached out and touched it, then disappeared from everyone's sight and entered Marne's personal space.

Mother Shining, however, was too lazy to pay attention and was unwilling to put on any 'disappearing act' for adult Rin and Waver.
“Spatial magic, huh?” Bo’s eyes narrowed, and he instantly understood what was going on. He then nodded and said, “I understand. I will try my best to arrange it.”
After thinking for a moment, he added, "However, I will go with you then. I don't completely trust you, and I will use my own eyes to see the truth."
Marne shrugged, indicating that he didn't care.
"Wait, Professor Weber, what about me? I want to go too."
Adult Rin quickly raised her hand to make her presence known, lest she be excluded.
"You? Hmm, then come along."
Weber looked at the student with surprise, but still agreed.
Chapter 186 Little Devil Reines, Marne: Yes!
He didn't fully trust Marne and the others yet, and it would be too risky to act alone with them.
Since adult Rin knows so much, it's not good to leave her unattended. We might as well bring her along so we can supervise her and also act as her helper.
After the matter was settled amicably, Weber immediately made the arrangements.
Using the remaining connections and power of the El-Melloi family, as well as the convenience of his half-baked monarch position, and after some effort, plus with Maren paying a large amount of money and magical materials, he finally managed to get the association to agree to the personnel transfer.
Thus, a half-baked magician named Marne was transferred to Chaldea as a Heroic Spirit advisor, ostensibly as a scholar of Heroic Spirit research.
Accompanying her was her assistant, who was also a distant relative, Rin Tohsaka.
Of course, Weber was also there, but he came under the guise of an inspection.
There's nothing we can do; even if he wanted to come and take up the position, the Clock Tower wouldn't let him leave easily.
After all, Weber was a monarch and the head of a department, holding an important position. Without anyone accepting him, the association wouldn't let him leave for long.
Therefore, Weber had no choice but to settle for a short-term visit.
However, this "short term" is actually not short at all, with a maximum of six months.
It's worth mentioning that there was one more person in the team.
That is, Waver's adopted sister, Reines El-Melloi Archizorti, the head of House El-Melloi.
Weber's actions naturally couldn't be kept from her, the capitalist who was exploiting Weber behind the scenes. After learning about the situation, she decided to follow him.
As for why?
Because it's fun.
Yes, that's what she said herself.
On the small charter plane bound for Antarctica, Ma En looked at the woman across from him who was smiling at him, and couldn't help but understand Weber's pain.
Unlike in the Second Generation Case Files, Reines in this timeline has grown up, just like the adult Rin, and is only one year younger than the adult Rin.
However, in terms of appearance, she looks even younger than Nero. Her height has hardly increased, and she has a petite figure similar to Nero's. Coupled with her delicate and cute appearance, she is a perfect example of a large-sized loli.
However, if you let your guard down based on her appearance alone, you'll be in big trouble, because she's also a pleasure addict!
This girl has the mischievous personality type; she enjoys teasing people.
During the days of waiting for arrangements, Ma En was often teased by her. Fortunately, Ma En was also a bit of a playboy, and with his experience dealing with his mother Shan Shan, how could he be so easily defeated by a little girl? He easily resolved most of the situations.
But this only emboldened Reines, who kept pestering him, thinking of ways to tease him all day long.
And now she's clinging to him again.
Unable to bear the stare any longer, Ma En said helplessly, "That's enough, Reines."
"Oh dear, what's wrong with me, dear Mr. Marx?"
Instead of backing down, Reines continued to look at Marne with a smile, a hint of pleasure flashing in her eyes, seemingly quite satisfied with Marne's reaction.
"Tell me, what exactly do you like about me? Tell me boldly, and I promise I'll..."
Maren put a hand to his forehead, speechless, then suddenly changed the subject, saying, "We will definitely keep it up!"
Reines paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Oh my, Mr. Marn is quite witty."
"But who gave you that confidence? They've taken a liking to you."
"What is this? Narcissism? And, Maren actually likes my type? Are you the legendary lolicon?"
"..."
Marne's eyes twitched twice. He glanced at Weber, who had turned his head away, and muttered "coward" to himself. Then he raised an eyebrow and said to Reines:
"Huh? Miss Reines, have you misunderstood something? I didn't mean what I meant by 'taking a fancy'. You're not thinking that way because you think I like you, are you?"
So, who exactly is the narcissistic person?
Come on! Let's fight! Who's the coward, you idiot!
"Yes, why can't a pretty girl like her have that kind of confidence?"
Reines readily admitted it and gave Marne a defiant look.
"..."
Ma En was speechless for a moment and simply gave up: "Ah, yes, yes, you're absolutely right."
Activate skill! Divine speech! Rotten!
Giving up resistance will grant immunity to enemy attacks.
Seeing that Ma En had been fooled, Reines pouted in dissatisfaction.
Do you think she really enjoys teasing people? No! What she enjoys is getting angry and frustrated, yet helpless, with an expression of impotent rage!
Therefore, she really disliked Maren's shameless tactic of simply giving up. It was like throwing a powerful punch only to hit cotton, leaving her feeling frustrated and stifled.
She immediately stopped bothering Ma En, turned around and closed her eyes to pretend to sleep, lest she be driven mad by Ma En.
As for why she became entangled with Ma En?
Actually, I was just curious at first.
After all, when it comes to time travelers, apart from the elusive Gemstone Elder, no one else in the world can do such a thing.
Since the Gemstone Elder wasn't someone you could just see whenever you wanted, the sudden appearance of Ma En piqued her curiosity.
As a result, when she couldn't resist trying to tease Ma En, she found herself facing a formidable opponent. Her competitive spirit was aroused, and she didn't know why, but she became entangled with him.
