The Last Mecha

Chapter 93 One Night at the Harbor (Part [-])
"If you don't exchange, how long can you keep it in your hands? In the short term, Xia Guo is not willing to turn against Bu Ledian, but once it is turned over, there will be no turning back. At that time, there will be nothing left in the hands of the Chamber of Commerce."

Russell frowned, looking indifferent.

"One more day is also one day." Ola stood up, leaning his elbows on the table, staring at Russell in a posture full of oppression, "I understand that you are a businessman, and making money is your essence, but I am Far East Executive officer, behind me is Breton, which is in full swing, and I am the leader here. Russell, your mind as a businessman is indeed commendable, and you have made a lot of money for the country over the years-of course, although compared to falling into your pocket It’s not worth mentioning. Sometimes, after staying in a high position for a long time, it’s easy to forget who you are.”

As he finished speaking, the door behind him was kicked open, and tall Breton soldiers wearing black leather and white hats stood in a neat row behind Ola.

"What do you mean?"

Russell raised frivolous eyebrows, showing no fear or surprise.

"Meaning, you can roll off that damned position."

A third person's voice came from outside the door, and Barons came in swaying on crutches, with cross-shaped bandages on his body, and his face was ugly.

"Understood? Old man, this is the price of playing with my dignity. I know that my position as the president of the Airborne Chamber of Commerce makes you bear grudges, but you don't have the qualifications to write resentment on your face!"

Ola lowered his head halfway, took out a box of cigarettes packaged with stars on a blue background from his pocket, and tapped lightly on the table, "Sorry, my old man, I just finished dinner, the current president of the chamber of commerce Just rushed to my house, we are equal in terms of position. Let go of power, pack up, go back to Britannia, or your big manor in America, and spend your old age peacefully, it’s not a bad thing.”

"It's really not a bad thing, especially for you, it's a beautiful thing that fell from the sky, right? Get rid of this old guy who is an eyesore, and you can also sell a favor to the Barons family by the way."

Russell smiled.

The room fell silent for a while, and the man who was pointed at by many eyes was still smoking a cigar, looking indifferent.

"1625."

Such a year came out of his mouth suddenly, which surprised everyone present.

"That was when the Breton fleet discovered Qi metal and defeated the Benny. In the same year, the newly established Royal Academy of Sciences had a project called Lugus. The mythical characters in Western Europe are very human, maybe This represents our longing for God, this project called Lugus, privately another name is 'Perfect Life'."

"Eternal life, invincibility, and perfection are the supreme desires of human beings. No amount of power or wealth can match them. Because what is held in the palm of your hand is hard to guarantee that it will not slip away one day, but your own power is eternal. "

"During that era, countless projects were established, such as strengthening naval guns, metalizing the human body, and dissociation technology. This project called Lugus was soon shelved. I'm afraid you can't find it in the archives. exists, but in fact, it never stops.”

Barones frowned, and seemed to have little patience left, "Russell, I'm in a hurry, you said it's business—"

"Wait, Barons." It was Ola who interrupted him, his old eyes darkened a bit, and his thin arms were raised flat, "Let him talk."

"Well, the night is so beautiful. Today's cabinet is divided into two factions under the royal power, the conservative faction and the emerging faction. Barons in the military industry started from the humble Mr. Euler. You are undoubtedly the latter. The old guys of the era are out of place, in fact, I can’t blame you—”

In his blue eyes, a touch of extremely pale blood rolled like waves.

"After all, you haven't come out of the dark age, and you haven't seen the grand scene where thousands of people gather. The blazing flames burn their shirts, forming a sea of ​​flames. No one cries, no one is afraid, they are ignorant and pious. Gao Zhen folded his arms in worship. The blood-stained iron hook protruded from the back of the shoulder bone, and he could not feel the pain. The pale fangs and the cross were filled with blood."

"What nonsense are you talking about, Dark Ages, that was nearly 100 years ago, you are only 50 years old, are you farting here?"

Barons' patience was exhausted at last, he swung his arm, and two straight soldiers behind him strode forward, trying to grab his arm.

"Ah-"

Two bloody arrows flew, and an extremely imperceptible light and shadow flashed by. The next second, the two tall soldiers had fallen outside, and the bloodstains on their necks seemed to be cut open by a knife.

However, Russell still sat where he was, but the nails on his right hand grew a few inches unknowingly, a large stream of red dripped down his fingertips, and there was a trace of black-blue light hidden in the dazzling scarlet color.

When he licked his teeth, a trace of milky white steam emerged from the corner of his lips.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a human being.

"Fire, fire!"

Barons suddenly panicked, as if he had been waiting for his order, and the soldiers behind him raised their guns and fired in only half a second.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Dark red drops of blood splashed in the gunpowder smoke, and through the barrier of vision, Russell in their eyes was still alive and well.

There was a fist-sized wound in his chest, and the sound of gears and steam inside could be seen at a glance. Steel rods, copper chains, bearings, pumps, viscous blood slowly slid down like oil.

Russell stood up, raised his arms, and there was a touch of intoxicated madness in his scarlet eyes.

"My surname is Russell, and my name is Arthur. There is only one Majesty I am loyal to, and her name is Elsabeth, not Victoria! May the glory of the old age shine forever on the land of Europa!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill him!"

Barons backed away in horror, but in the next second, black and red mixed figures wandered like ghosts, and the soldiers standing in a room fell down like pieces of paper. splashed on Barons' face.

He sat down on the ground with his legs swaying, and muttered: "You won't kill me, I am the heir of the Barons family, and if we control Breton, we control half the world!"

"Who said that Barons mastered Breton? Sixty years ago, your grandfather was just a young man who had just graduated from college. His father was a watchmaker. The family you are proud of is far from the reality of this world. It's still too far away."

Russell gently lifted the five-and-a-half-foot-tall young man, and the corner of his mouth flicked lightly.

"Don't be impulsive. If you kill me, it will become a family dispute. Barons will not let it go." Barons swayed his arms weakly.

"Of course not, Barons. Although you are young, you are indeed famous figures in Dunkou now, but——" Russell's eyes were like a gleam of murder, "Who said I killed you? Didn't you?" ?Mr. Euler?"

In the middle of the night, deafening explosions sounded on the Queen's Avenue. The awakened Britons opened the curtains and saw the Baroque mansion belonging to the Barons family turned into a red ocean opposite the Chamber of Commerce. The sky was lit by sparks. At night, all that remains of the wreckage is the soaring gray smoke.

　I'm on a business trip again. I don't think I have time to write a manuscript today, so I ask for a day off in advance.
