Feast of villains

Chapter 171 171. Nance's Ambition

The wealthy people in Shin-Yokohama have endless luxurious dance parties.

Everyone enjoys feasting and feasting, and the artists also show their talents. Rather than seriously considering social fairness, everyone is more interested in how to continue their own privileges.

For Sister Marlene, today can be regarded as a happy day.

There was nothing wrong with the dress on her body, the tulle shawl did not slip even a little bit, the roses around her ears were delicate and fresh, and the crystal high-heeled shoes on her feet did not pinch her toes. Everything made her feel happy.

All the buttons of the gauntlet were buttoned, not a single one undone, and the gauntlet embraced her hand without altering its outline.The black velvet round collar on her burgundy gown wraps around her neck very softly.

The bare arms on her gloves gave Nance the touch of soft rice cakes.

When she smiled, her eyes sparkled and her rosy lips were slightly red and swollen from the long kiss.All the men wanted to dance with her, but she ignored the ubiquitous pick-ups and looked intently at Nance.

"I feel that you have become a lot more beautiful today..."

Nance put his arms around her slender waist and slid straight to the dance floor without asking her opinion.

Sister Marlene smiled and followed him with light steps.

Her bent left hand rested on Nance's shoulder, and her little feet in silver-white high-heeled shoes began to move on the smooth floor nimbly, lightly, and rhythmically in keeping with the beat of the music.

The brisk dance music of the waltz flows over the ballroom.

Sister Marlene was not in a hurry to ask the question just now. While dancing, she looked around the ballroom over Nance's shoulder.Her current performance is not like an ignorant girl who came to the ball for the first time and can't even dance well, nor is she a social queen who knows all the faces in the banquet hall by heart.

She is somewhere in between.

She is now a well-off wife, and she is very excited to observe everything around her with another vision.

In the left corner of the ballroom, Sister Marlene saw the best of Shin-Yokohama society gathered together.There is Mrs. Shimamura, whose chest and neck are too naked, she is the president of Bunge Food Company; there is Ling Jiadong, the boss of Cargill; there are Mayor Hayashi and Shuichi Akasaka;

In the right corner of the ballroom, there are Du Xiuxian's family and the butler of the Shaster family.

Sister Marlene even saw the third prince.

That cowardly prince even stared at Nance with resentful eyes.

The forces in the local area and the forces in the imperial capital are distinct from each other, but they are also intertwined... It's really complicated.

"What are you looking at?" Nance asked suddenly, spinning his partner wildly.

"I'm counting how many people you have offended..." Sister Marlene said, her body dancing lightly.Her slender ankles in thin, flesh-colored stockings were exposed, and the skirt was also fanned out, blooming under her feet like a sea of ​​flowers.

Nance made a strong hand: "I will offend more people in the future."

With a tangy fragrance, Sister Marlene's graceful body returned to his arms.

"How do you plan to offend?" She looked at the man in front of her, nodded her head, and expressed her approval.

"Of course to get them out of where they are."

Nance said quite ambitiously.

The bad nun was considered one of his own, he didn't have to be as scruples as he was in front of Du Xiuxian.

"Oh?"

Sister Marlene was a little surprised.

"Do you know aristocrats?" she asked.

"To be honest, I don't know much about it, but it should be inseparable from the three aspects of speech, wisdom and honor..." Nance put his arm around the waist of the bad nun, looked down at her smooth forehead, "I think, for the noble class As soon as they lose their absolute superiority, they become impotent, the populace immediately overthrows them, and all privileges vanish.”

Sister Marlene's eyes lit up, and then she shook her head: "Nobles are not so easily overthrown."

"The nobles are not weak, but the power of the people is stronger." Nance said, "For the people, if the people who rule them are strong and powerful, they will naturally respect and obey them. However, when they find that the nobles are not as good as When the imagination is so strong, the nobles will be imagined as incompetent kings and persecuted."

If Sister Marlene thinks about it.

"In a word, the behavior of the aristocrats is a symbol of power; when they lose their power, they perish; every system has its troubled years. At that time, the thoughts of the people will be as A different face emerges, politics completely changes form..."

"But you have to know, the times are different now, and the weapons are different." Sister Marlene interrupted him, and said with a smile, "In the past, relying on a team of knights, let them wear chain mail and brandish spears Lay a territory. Nowadays, science, money and power form a balanced and solid iron triangle, which can suppress all restless factors."

She was absolutely right.

Take the current situation in California as an example.

The speaker of Shin-Yokohama holds power; the speaker has the world's largest and most advanced arms company, holding technology; the speaker also collects a huge amount of money on the land of California through his own contacts; the iron triangle of power, technology and money Now, even the empire is extremely afraid of him.

After hearing what she said, Nance asked, "What if the speaker gets slapped in the face by a little section chief?"

"Uh, you..." Sister Marlene subconsciously glanced at the left corner of the ballroom, "Do it now?"

"How is it possible?" Nance slipped his hand and squeezed her perky peach buttocks, "I'm holding you, Marlene, and I don't want to let go at all."

"It's never serious!" Sister Marlene gave him a coquettish look.

Nance smiled and hugged her charming body: "When the people of California find that the speaker who rules them is not as powerful and majestic as imagined, the long-standing resentment should explode."

Sister Marlene lowered her eyes and thought for a while, and then said: "A leader is needed. This person must be eloquent, have insights like a writer, shrewd like a businessman, and strong will of a statesman. The advantages are concentrated in one savior."

"I think the one who failed the ranking..."

"I think you are more appropriate!"

"I don't have much time..."

Sister Marlene smiled charmingly: "It doesn't matter, you are just a symbol, that kind of totem with a bit of mythical nature. Just leave the specific affairs to the people behind the scenes."

Nance thought to himself, you want me to rebel too?

"In the eyes of outsiders, you can single-handedly conquer the savior of the entire society, and you should be the culmination of all of these. Just like the nobles monopolize the material, you can monopolize all the hearts of the people and become the soul and spirit of California. Only you can do it yourself. Giving orders and leading civilians by the nose is the prerequisite for me to listen to what you say."

After Sister Marlene finished speaking in one breath, she stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips with a half-smile.

"...I thought you were thinking about Clegg." Nance said a little speechlessly, "I heard you mention him before, and I had a vague idea of ​​investing in him, so I thought about teaching him something when the time comes, Let him be busy in front of the stage, and just hide away and be a spiritual teacher."

"You are so stupid!" Sister Marlene looked up at her swan-like neck, her clear and kind eyes shyly looked at Nance, "Compared to investing in an outsider, Marlene is more inclined to see the person she likes A radiant savior."

"Is this a confession of love?"

"Mr. Adair, what do you think?"

"I have heard your words, and I am very happy," replied Nance. "To this day, I do not know what happiness is."

"So you know now?" The bad nun looked at him slyly.

"Happiness for me from now on is to see you and hear your voice. I am sure of the sweet moments you have given me; I am thinking of you in my sleep and in my waking... ..." Nance shrugged his shoulders while talking, "Okay, stop, we are talking about business now."

"Falling in love is a serious matter!" Sister Marlene's small fist hammered his chest.

Nance pinched her buttocks again: "Why don't you have any sense of disobedience when you act coquettishly when you're old?"

"Will you talk!"

Sister Marlene was so angry that she directly lifted her high-heeled shoes and stomped on his feet.

"Ah, it hurts..." Nance made a painful and distorted expression very cooperatively.

Sister Marlene smiled happily and stared into his eyes: "Listen, I'm coquettish. When I face different men, I wear different masks. When I'm with carefree people When you are with ambitious people, you need to be smooth; when you are with those who talk eloquently, you need to listen with feigned admiration; with soldiers, talk about war ;together with the cynics, to rant about the injustice of society; to give everyone small compliments, which is the essence of a courtesan, and this mask is like the flower arrangement on my head, diamond jewelry, gloves, and gorgeous gowns , are essential.”

"I'm sorry, but you are not a courtesan now." Nance hugged her waist and dragged her out of the dance floor, "Ms. Marlene Garcia is now Nance's lover, everyone in Shin-Yokohama knows that thing."

Sister Marlene blinked innocently: "Does that mean I don't have to be coquettish anymore?"

"If you say that again, I will punish you."

"How to punish?"

"You won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow."

"Do what you say~"

Sister Marlene nestled in his arms, and together they moved away from the dance floor to the French windows.

The night covered the black water and the rubbish floating on it.

The island area opposite Victoria Harbor is brightly lit.

"The first time I looked at the other side from this perspective, I naively thought that the opposite side was a paradise." Nance embraced the warm and soft body of the bad nun, and looked at the bright lights of the city in his eyes, "but after going there once I didn’t know what extreme control is. Anyway, I don’t like Shuichi Akasaka and the empire, so why not take down Shuichi Akasaka and use the whole of California as your base camp.”

Sister Marlene was thinking about something, but she didn't speak immediately.Nance hugged her from behind, thinking too, the lights shining on the mouths of wine glasses.After a while, Sister Marlene suddenly said: "Let me just say, why is Tokisaki so anxious to make you famous? It turns out that you want to take this opportunity to rebel."

"Uh, Tokisaki actually doesn't know what I'm thinking."

"That's why you rebelled behind Tokisaki's back."

"...I didn't rebel. California is an autonomous state. I just want to support a person to be the governor, and I didn't say that I want to build a country by myself." Nance said righteously, "I, Adel, have an establishment. How could an official be treasonous!"

Sister Marlene gave him a blank look and asked, "How sure are you?"

"It's actually quite big." Nanston immediately forgot what he just said, staring out of the window and said, "Generally speaking, the people are reasonable, and they will only put aside their conscience when they are instigated by people with ulterior motives. The so-called conscience is patriotism, law-abiding and so on. As you can see, in the current state of California, a large amount of wealth is gathered in the hands of a few people, and the pyramid structure that divides people into three classes is very strong. It's getting to the point where it's hard to move. At this juncture, if someone steps up and takes the lead and shouts, 'We need fairness,' it's enough to stir up the anger of the people."

Sister Marlene thought for a while and said, "If the leader can provide a lot of money and sophisticated equipment, it's not impossible..."

"It takes only a few words to bring about a great revolution. There are countless cases in history. People rise up and rebel, always trying to harmonize people, things and principles, and strive for the greatest justice .Although the final result every time is nothing more than repeating the same mistakes, only by trying again and again can we find the most correct path..."

"Well, my revolutionary mentor, Marlene has benefited a lot from listening to your words." Sister Marlene turned to Nance with a gentle smile.Glancing at him with quick, feminine eyes, "Go to Ma Lien's room and continue to give Ma Lien a speech? Ma Lien's bed is very big, and if you are tired of speaking, you can just sleep and rest..."

"...I was afraid that if you ate it, I would fail."

With his arm around her shoulders, Nance walked through the banquet hall under the gaze of the crowd to the lounge area on the top floor of Universal.

Sister Marlene has an exclusive rest room here.

After entering the door, Nance slammed the door shut.

The decor of the small house, faithful to a certain quiet atmosphere.

The electric heater was turned on, there was brandy on the table, a glass bottle with flowers, and a retro record player; a printed picture hung on the wall: a Western beauty submerged in pastures and flowers, bathed in moonlight and sleeping.

Sister Marlene picked out a record and put it in the record player, pouring two glasses of brandy gracefully.

Nance got up and wanted to go, but she looked at her with charming and gentle eyes.

There was a strange power in those eyes.

Wait, you don't want that... Your Lady Queen, why don't you take a nap and let me exercise?
