A few days later.
Sergei returned from the giant wall and reported to dudian: “Master, the things you have told us are ready. Nicholas and Glenn are waiting for you to go back.”
Dudian sat on the stone with Aisha and looked at the sunset. He didn’t look back as he heard Sergei’s words: “Did the news leak out?”
Sergei replied: “No. I only told Glenn, nicotine and your two friends. No one else knew.”
Dudian nodded as he looked at the sunset. He thought in his heart that night was coming. Even the dazzling sun was corroded by blood red. Was it a sign of something?
He slowly stood up and dusted off the dust on his sleeves. He took Aisha’s hand and whispered: “We can go home.”
Aisha quietly stood up with a cold expression.
Sergei looked at Aisha who stood up. He felt a slight throb in his heart. Every time he faced this girl, he had a frightening feeling of living in a cage with a tiger. He couldn’t help but want to leave as soon as possible. But he knew that.., this girl seemed to have a very high position in Dudian’s heart because he had never seen this cold-blooded teenager who was so intimate and gentle to anyone.
Dudian put a few super batteries filled with electricity into the hunter’s backpack and gave them to Sergei to carry. He took the lead and went to the rope in front of the giant wall. He looked at Aisha, he grabbed Aisha’s waist and grabbed the rope with his other hand. He used one hand to climb up.
Sergei was afraid that the rope would be too heavy and break. He didn’t dare to follow. He stood underground and watched the figures of Dudian and Aisha gradually go to the top of the giant wall, he didn’t expect that this mysterious and terrifying girl would follow Dean so well. The intimate relationship between the two was obvious. He was more and more afraid of Dean.
Dean didn’t look down. He climbed to the top of the giant wall in one breath. He pulled with all his strength and jumped up from the rope. He landed on the giant wall. He looked at Sergei who had just climbed up the rope. He didn’t urge him but waited, he looked at the endless scenery inside the giant wall.
Sergei climbed up the giant wall: “Young Master has been waiting for a long time.”
“Let’s go.”Dudian held Aisha with one hand. He went to the other side of the giant wall and slid down the rope.
..
..
The night quietly arrived.
The stars dotted the night sky.
Carriages arrived in front of a luxurious manor in a bustling town in the business district. The carriages didn’t stop outside the gate like the ordinary noble visitors. Instead, they directly galloped to a spacious open space in the manor, the people who got out of the carriages wore strange masks. The attendants led them into the brightly lit manor castle.
Different from the quiet manor, in the depths of the manor, there was a bustling sound. It was like a lively market during the day.
The masked figure wandered around the square, choosing the materials he needed in front of the stalls or the latest news from the district. In addition, there were also some works sold by alchemists and potioneers.
Hawkeye stood by the window, quietly looking at the familiar night scene in the square. After a moment, the door behind him was suddenly pushed open, and a handsome young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old stepped into the room with an arrogant look on his face, he said, “Hawkeye, the meeting is about to begin. The elders asked you to prepare the meeting materials. How are you doing?”
Hawkeye frowned slightly. He did not like to be disturbed by others, and at this moment, it was precisely the person he disliked the most, doing the thing he disliked the most. A trace of killing intent flashed in his Golden Eyes, but it was quickly hidden, including the anger in his heart.
He turned around and said with a smile, “Secretary Ma er, I have already prepared the information. It can be handed to the elder at any time.”
The arrogant youth snorted coldly and said, “If you are ready, come to the meeting room. Don’t let everyone wait for too long.”
“Okay, I will come right away.”Hawkeye said with a smile.
The arrogant youth immediately turned around and left. He grabbed the door handle and casually closed it. With a bang, the door frame shook slightly.
Hawkeye’s smile immediately disappeared. He grabbed an expensive art cup and threw it out. With a bang, it smashed into the wall and shattered. He snorted coldly, grabbed the information on the bookshelf next to him, and left the room.
In the meeting room, seven figures sat on both sides of the Round Table. At the highest seat sat a hunchbacked old man. His face was full of wrinkles, and he was no different from an ordinary old man on the street. On his finger.., he was wearing an inconspicuous dark green jade ring. Only a few people knew that the price of this ring alone was enough to match 50% of the wealth of any one of the six major financial groups!
The meeting room was pushed open and the young man entered. The arrogance on his face had long disappeared. He humbly bent his back and came in front of the old man. He said in a low voice, “Elder, Hawkeye is here.”
The old man’s eyelids, which looked like they were dozing off, were still half-closed. There was no reaction. He only let out a soft hum.
Soon, Hawkeye also entered the room. He glanced at the young man who was standing behind the old man obediently. At this moment, there was no trace of arrogance on the young man’s face. He only took one look before turning his head and saying to the old man, “Elder, I have already prepared the information you asked for.”As he said that, he handed the information in his hands to the old man.
The old man did not receive it.
The young man nimbly took it and placed it respectfully on the table in front of the old man.
The old man was silent for a moment before he slowly opened his mouth, he said, “Everyone, in a few days, it will be the Elders’meeting. “Every elders’meeting is nothing more than discussing the matter of ranking. Based on the performance of our ninth district over the past half a year, everyone feels that after this elders’meeting, what rank do you think our ninth district can still rank in?”
Hearing this, the expressions of the six people under them changed slightly, one of the women with a voluptuous figure immediately said, “Elder, you can’t blame us for this. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame the previous elder. Not only did he not do anything after taking office, he even dismissed six of our representatives and imprisoned me in the dungeon. Fortunately, Elder, you came and freed me. Otherwise, our ninth district’s influence would be even weaker.”
“That’s right!”Another burly man said in a low voice, he said, “Elder, we have tried our best to develop. However, after the previous elder removed the six members of the parliament, he suddenly disappeared. During his term of office, he did nothing. Previously, when our District 9 was violated, he completely ignored it, causing us to suffer heavy losses. If it wasn’t for him, our District 9 would definitely be able to maintain our status in the District 9. We might even have a chance of rising!”
“That’s right!”Another person immediately agreed, he said, “Elder, if it weren’t for your timely arrival, the ninth division would have been even more chaotic without anyone to lead us. It’s possible that we would even be at the bottom. Although I have spent a lot of effort in grooming many new people with potential these past few days, time is limited after all. I believe that we will definitely be able to restore the ninth division’s ranking when the next meeting of elders comes...”
The old man raised his hand slightly and stopped the others who wanted to speak. He said indifferently, “The previous elder has a great responsibility. I know this, but during the period when I took over, how are the tasks that were assigned to you all?”
Hearing this, everyone was stunned. They looked at each other with ugly expressions.
“As a member of Parliament, I’m very disappointed that you have such a negligent performance. The speaker is also very disappointed!”The old man said indifferently.
When they heard the word “Speaker,”everyone’s expression changed slightly. A hint of respect flashed in their eyes.
“The ranking this time will definitely drop,”the old man said slowly. “However, on account of the bad influence of the previous elder, I will bear the responsibility for this matter alone! “However, I hope that everyone will not make things difficult for me during the next elders’meeting. If I’m in a difficult position, everyone will be in a difficult position. Do you understand?”
Everyone had different thoughts and bowed their heads in unison. “Yes.”
“Alright.”The old man’s eyes flashed slightly as he glanced at everyone, he then turned to Hawkeye and instructed, “Pass the information to everyone. Everyone, this is the latest information on the eighth and eleventh regions that have been opposing us for the past half a year. Everyone, take a good look at the increase in the number of three-star alchemists and the status of a new five-star potioneer in the eighth region.”
“There’s a new 5-star Potioneer in the Eighth District?”
Everyone was slightly shocked and immediately picked up the documents to read.
The old man slowly said, “After the Elders’meeting is over, I’m going to conquer Leia Street in the East District. That’s the ancestral land of the Moss family in Huasheng Financial Group. If we can conquer that place, we might be able to strangle the Moss family’s throat. In this way, we can make up for the losses caused by the previous elder...” Suddenly, a gust of cold wind blew in from outside, causing the temperature in the room to instantly drop. It was chilly.
The old man frowned slightly. Just as he was about to instruct the youth to close the door tightly, he suddenly felt an icy cold palm on his shoulder. At the same time.., an extremely calm voice sounded in his ear, “Everyone, are you talking about me?”
