Chapter 53
Roman's reaction was much faster than that of the assailant. Just as he drew out his revolver, Roman had activated the ability of the "living corpse", blocked the employer, and rushed towards the assailant.

When the attacker was about to pull the trigger, he felt a sharp pain in his wrist and could no longer hold the pistol.

Immediately afterwards, Roman twisted his body directly, exerted force downwards, and pressed him to the ground.

After Roman subdued the attacker and kicked away the revolver he dropped on the ground, Mr. Wade's servants just reacted and protected Mr. Wade in the middle.

Just an ordinary person... Roman thought to himself while pressing the middle-aged man under him.

Mr. Wade quickly regained his composure, took a step forward, and asked in a deep voice, "I don't seem to know you, why did you attack me?"

The middle-aged man who was crushed by Roman raised his head with difficulty, looked at Mr. Wade, and shouted frantically: "You son of a humble merchant, why do you become a nobleman? glory!"

Mr. Wade was silent for a while, and first said to Roman: "Thank you, Mr. Karpo."

Then he turned his head to look at his personal servant, and said, "Go and notify the police, investigate the identity of the assailant, and decide whether to notify the reporter when I come back."

After arranging the follow-up matters, Mr. Wade sorted out his clothes, turned around, and walked slowly in the direction of Sodlark Palace.

I don't know if it's Roman's illusion, but I feel that his steps are heavier and firmer than before.

Roman just waited here, watching several gentlemen similar to Mr. Wade come to the King's Road and walk towards the Sodlark Palace.

After a long time, Mr. Wade's valet who accompanied the police to the police station to investigate the situation came back. He didn't say anything, but his face was not very good-looking.

After Mr. Wade was sealed off, he got to know the situation with his valet.

The attacker was a dilapidated nobleman whose ancestor was a hereditary baron. During his generation, due to poor management, he owed a lot of debts, especially after the "Corn Act" was abolished some time ago. He had sunk into the abyss of debt and had to sell his land to pay off his debts.

This also makes the hereditary baron's land less than the minimum level of 60 hectares matching the baronial title, and faces the fate of being deprived of the title.

And he happened to hear that Mr. Wade was about to get the title of baron, and out of jealousy, he acted irrationally.

However, since he is still a hereditary baron at present, and when he attacked Mr. Wade, Mr. Wade did not yet have a title.

And because the baron was directly subdued by Roman and did not cause any bloodshed, he has been released by the police under the bail of another gentleman of status.

The gentleman happened to be at the police station on business, and was not only a member of the Conservative Party, but also happened to know the attacker.

Roman suddenly understood what "choice of the times" meant.

In this event, full of coincidences and arrangements.

There are obvious factors of man-made manipulation behind this. It happened that there was a run-down nobleman who was about to lose his baronship and lived near King's Road in the Queens District. Launched the attack and just happened to meet a respectable gentleman bailing him out at the police station.

In Backlund, with such an arrangement, the person behind the scenes may be the royal advisor, Herben Rambis, one of the members of the jury of the Psychological Alchemist Association, and the demigod of the audience channel.

The purpose, of course, is to exacerbate the conflict between the New Party and the Conservative Party.

Today's attack on Mr. Wade, no matter what the final result is, can achieve his goal.

If Mr Wade is indeed killed on the spot, or if the attacker is killed on the spot, it will bring a violent conflict between the New Party and the Conservative Party.

And even if no blood was shed, as is the case now, the assailant walked out of the police station within hours of the attack.

After that, any counterattack by Mr. Wade and the new party will further deepen the rift between the two parties, and the conflict will become more intense, which cannot be avoided.

In the next period of time, for their respective interests, the two parties will have countless fierce confrontations in the House of Commons, in the military, in business, both openly and secretly.

This is the trend of the times expected by the Psychological Alchemist Society, or that organization that cannot be named.

In this torrent, if you are not careful, you will be crushed, no matter if it is a great noble or an Extraordinary.

And the center of the vortex is in Backlund.

As for the fact that he acted as Mr. Wade's bodyguard, to some extent, he was already in the whirlpool.

After realizing this, Roman has already decided to leave as soon as the mission is over.

At the same time, it also made Roman's heart, which had slacked off a little this month, tense up again.

You must hurry up to digest the potion and prepare for promotion. There are limited chances to play in Backlund, but when you go to the sea, you will have more chances to fight.

I received a message from the captain last night that the modification and registration of the "Torrent Seagull" has been fully completed, and it is time to return to the sea.

Following Mr. Wade, he went to visit several nobles and big bankers who supported the new party. After a busy day, Roman returned to the villa in the West End at night.

After communicating with his teammates, they reached an agreement to return to the sea as soon as possible after completing Backlund's mission.

The next day, after notifying Mr. Wade that the task was over, Roman and his party, who rejected Mr. Wade's retention, left the villa in the West End and went to the safe house that Roman Backlund Bridge had previously rented for a short period of time, waiting for further news from the captain. .

In the next few days, Roman said goodbye to Miss Anne and Arya.

Miss Anne was not surprised by this. She had seen Roman's storm badge, and guessed that Roman, who was not a "punisher", had a special mission like herself.

Now that I heard that Roman was going back to sea, I just took it for granted, and made an appointment that if I needed help, I could find her in her machinery shop, or send a letter to her mailbox.

Roman felt that he would definitely trouble Miss Anne a lot in the future, after all, he was a very reliable craftsman.

Arya still cared about the notebook, but Roman said it seriously, so she reluctantly agreed not to continue deciphering the contents of the notebook for the time being.

After the two had a long talk, Arya decided to hand over the notebook to Roman for safekeeping, and she only kept the translation. After all, in terms of knowledge alone, the knowledge in the translation was enough for her to study for a long time.

Roman thought for a while, and then agreed. Although this notebook is dangerous, once he joins the Tarot Society, it can be regarded as meritorious deeds or sacrifices to Mr. Fool, or he can apply to read it above the gray fog. .

The two agreed on the contact information, and Roman also promised her that she would pay attention to her teacher's news while at sea, and told her that if she encountered any danger in Backlund, she should go directly to the church without hesitation.

As for Roman himself, although he is still full of curiosity about the mausoleum in the southern continent.But after understanding the general situation inside, Roman felt that he would not risk his life to explore until he became a demigod.

Roman told her the contact information of the "Eye of Wisdom" old man's party, and specially reminded her to be more careful when attending extraordinary parties. Although the character of "Eye of Wisdom" is relatively reliable, other people attending the meeting are not must.

After bidding farewell to Arya, Roman left the hotel and was busy in Backlund, making final preparations.

On June 6th, Filogan received a telegram from Bayam from the captain, stating that the "Torrent Seagull" was ready to set sail for a mission, and would arrive at Damir Port in 25 days as planned, so that the three of Romans would set off first and go to Port Damir awaits.

 One thousand favorites!thank you all!
