Edge of the Apocalypse

For some reason, it was suddenly dark. ○

The rain is pouring.

A thunder burst into the clouds, and an iron tree exploded like silver flowers in an instant, half of the sky was bright, reflecting the eyes of people.

Horn wouldn't be dazzled by the electric light, he retracted his gaze from the ship's porthole. The baffle outside the window is slowly lowering, covering the wind and rain outside. In this severe rainstorm, this "Black Hawk" was not affected by thunderstorms in the least. After gliding for a while, a beautiful arc was drawn and plunged into the rain cloud below. The lightning thunder and fire kept knocking on it, but it was absorbed by a shield.

After a while, the flying ship jumped out of the clouds and flew in the direction of Area 21 on the surface under the rain.

With soft lights shining in the hull, Horn was sitting in a comfortable chair with only two cups of coffee on the front dining table. One of them is Horn's, and the other is of course the guard sitting opposite him. Anna was silently flicking the light screen of the brain on her hand, and the secret orders were sent out along with the movement of her fingers. When they were far above the altitude of a thousand meters, several family surface forces, including Area 21, moved towards the location designated by Anna.

Looking at the secret samurai who didn't say a word, Horn smiled: "Don't be so serious, Anna. You smile a lot, especially women, so that you look close."

Anna put down her brain, took a sip of her coffee and said, "I don't need to make people feel close, as long as I can protect the master, it doesn't hurt to have a stinking face."

Horn shook his head and laughed: "It sounds nice, but I am still annoyed that I don't listen to your dissuasion and insist on going to the 21st district."

Anna frowned and sighed: "Master, Baker invites you to negotiate, although Tyre's site was chosen to avoid suspicion. But you also know that there have been eyebrows between Old Baker and Tyre. Tyre has remained neutral over the years. True, but who can say that he will not buy old Baker. Of course, I know that the master has always been an exhaustive plan. Since he has agreed to go to the appointment, he must have full confidence."

"Well, we Anna will flatter, especially so easy to shoot, not bad." Horn finger flicked the cup, the coffee in the cup immediately rippled, looking at these ripples Horn said: "Anna, you I also know. Our little Allen made a great contribution this time. The President not only gave him first-class merit, but also awarded the cloud iron star to Beth Kod by name. For this matter, What do you think?"

Anna heard the words: "Of course it is a good thing. In this way, Master Ellen will sit firmly in the first place. Should no one criticize it? Besides, with Yun Tiexing, our family strength can be no longer Climbing to a high level, saving at least ten years of hard work is a great thing. That is, just...

Horn continued for her: "It's just too compelling."

The Patriarch of Beskard sighed: "Any one of the first-class military merits and Yun Tiexing is a great thing for Allen to the family. But if we have both, we are too sharp. We are too sharp. The past few years have been considered to be in the limelight, and there is really no need to add icing on the cake. Now that we have gained all these benefits in vain, we have pushed our lives to the forefront."

Horn snorted, "Your Excellency the President, it may not be good intentions to be safe."

"Master, what do you mean?"

"Anna, if you pay attention, you will know that throughout the past, the presidents have all come from civilians or military departments, and never from aristocrats." Horn closed his eyes, seeming to be rejuvenated, and continued in his mouth: "Whether it is a family of family members, Even a wealthy family. No matter how hard you try, you can’t send your chess pieces into the true power core of the Federation. You think that after hundreds of years, there is no such long-sleeved political talent among us? Not nothing, but No way to enter. That inner circle was closed to us people from the beginning."

"After the War of Dawn, the earth was devastated and the nation's power was wiped out. When the federation was first established, there were no hands but no resources. But some families who had preserved part of their heritage before the war mastered the most urgently needed strategic resources for the federation at that time. , So there was the first cooperation between the family and the federation. At that time, the federation and the nobility were a win-win situation. But now, it may not be anymore..." Horn said softly, "Although we have always There is a non-interference rule, but this line is gradually becoming blurred over time. We are a fishbone in the throats of successive federal presidents. It is only a matter of time before we are removed. But from the current president From your generous consideration, the Federation is about to start working."

Anna's face was cold: "If Mobit wants to offend the nobles, it's just a pattern of losing both sides. Don't forget that there is still a door of freedom on the surface now, he is so unwise?"

Horn chuckled: "You look down on our President. The military exploits and Yun Tiexing are just the fish erbium thrown into this pool called the nobleman. Now these two fish erbium fall on a large wall called Beskard. In the fish’s mouth, but you see, the bait is too big and the big fish can’t swallow it all at once. This makes it difficult to guarantee that other fish and shrimp in the pond have no idea. If other fish and shrimp compete for food, it will not be all at once. The fish and shrimp are desperate to death, but the water in this pool is going to be mixed after all. If the water is mixed, who can see what will happen in the clear water? Even if it takes the opportunity to swim into a shark called Federation, probably no one can see it clearly. No matter the big fish or the small fish, they will eventually enter the shark’s blood."

"Our president, we are dealing with the long-term overall situation. The overthrow of the nobles begins with him. But when it will end, he may not see it, but he resolutely takes action. This man, Mobit, is bold."

Anna was shocked.

"The water in the pond is about to start to mix, and I have no patience to serve Old Baker little by little. If our big fish can't concentrate on it before the water in the pond is mixed. If the shark is not talking, it should be given to other fish. The food is clean. The old Baker must be fully prepared before he dare to invite me to negotiate. Then I will let him say, just cut the mess with a knife. Although some blood will bleed after all, it is better than being eaten by others. , Don't you think?" Horn opened his eyes, and there was a flash of light in his eyes: "It's just Old Baker's perfect preparation, but his own wishful thinking."

In District 21 on the surface, there is a well-known city. The city with the same name as Las Vegas, the old casino city, is itself a casino city. There are many casinos and hotels here. Some people get rich overnight, while others are poor overnight. Life ups and downs, but so.

In the casino, there is a Golden Sail Club, which is both a hotel and a casino. This club has a medium reputation, a medium profit, and a medium scale. In fact, it is more than enough. The only thing that can be obtained is the qualifications. In the gambling city, regardless of the business of the hotel and casino, the ups and downs are like the various life in this city. If you don't talk about it, let's just say that in the past ten years, how many casinos in this city have opened and closed. The ones that can be left are rare.

Jin Fan has nothing else, only the seniority is old enough. Older seniors, of course, there will always be patrons, especially those who are generous. Those gamblers who are generous are not just picking places to gamble. If a casino is newly opened, I don’t know the roots, but God knows if you will bully the customers. If you see that the guests have won too many, and if you turn your face, you will turn your face. There are not no such casinos, but too many. Jin Fan has a good reputation in this respect, as much as you deserve, and he would never do anything like stabbing a black knife in the back. And word of mouth, it is time to settle down.

Therefore, after so many years, Jin Fan has stood firm. Although it will not be full at night, it will not be enough. What's rare is that after so many years of business, the boss behind it does not necessarily expand the scale. So Jin Fan maintained its original appearance, and walked down like this after ten years of wind and rain in this casino.

But tonight Jin Fan made a puzzling move.

The Golden Sail Club, which is open throughout the year and has been like a day for ten years, announced the suspension of business early tonight. But at 8 o'clock in the evening, there were speed cars driving to the entrance of the clubhouse, and it was obvious that VIPs came to the door.

But the lobby supervisor, who was waiting early at the gate, knew who the VIPs were, but the villains. At this time, a short and thin old man emerged from the first speed car. He did not look conspicuous at all, but the lobby supervisor had been told that it was Old Baker in District 8. Old Baker had the nickname of a butcher when he was young, although he hadn't done anything like that for a long time. But that stubborn face was always three-point savage. With a smile on the side, it was because the supervisor was used to seeing the scene, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his back.

He quickly greeted him.

Before he got there, he stopped a man with a diagonal scar on his face. Raiden looked at the supervisor blankly, and Mu Na said, "Stand here and talk."

The supervisor dared not speak~www.readwn.com~ reluctantly put a smile on his face that was uglier than crying and said to the old man: "Master Baker, Mr. Tell has been waiting for a long time."

Old Baker looked a little absent-minded. He looked back at a few bodyguards in sunglasses and suits, and he answered with a "um". The lobby supervisor only felt that he had really posted back cold butt, but he didn't dare to care. Comparing with the butcher is purely impatient. He had prepared a set of gorgeous rhetoric, and this time he swallowed it quickly. Looking at the appearance of others, it is clear that if you are not in the mood to deal with this little person, you should quickly lead someone.

The supervisor bowed his waist and said, "Please follow me", and led the way.

Old Baker waved his hand, thunder and lightning went first. Old Baker was in the middle, and five bodyguards walked behind him. According to the previous agreement, no one is allowed to carry weapons. Otherwise, the alarm at the door should go off as soon as you enter the door. Old Baker walked neither fast nor slow, staring straight ahead, but muttering to himself: "How sure are you against Horn?"

"The number of five to five." A voice came from behind.

"Five points? That's a lot, I hope you don't just talk about it." Old Baker whispered.
