Chapter 985 The Girl by Lake Trito (5)
As the vice chairman of the Europa Executive Committee and the director of the Europa External Action Agency, Napoleon VII's confidant, Clotte Guyon, walked out of the meeting room first. He first shook hands with the chubby Kaminis, the representative of the Athens police. After watching him leave with a blank expression, he lowered his round metal glasses and looked down at the meeting minutes handed over by Pierre.
The text in the minutes of the meeting was so crude that it made people sad, and the two sides broke up happily without talking a few words. Except for the information about Hydera, there are too few things that can be recorded.
The Greek officials only sent Kaminis, the chief of the Athens Police Department, to negotiate, but they made up their minds to ignore the joint forced palace by the Europa Executive Committee, the Europa Police Joint Agency, and Interpol.
The late autumn sun was shining through the window on the minutes of the meeting. Clotte Guyon glanced at what Kaminis had just said at the meeting, and saw the last sentence: "Then there is no need to talk about it. I suggest that you should go to Ukraine to investigate source, not in our Athens."
Kaminis' impatient expression was vivid, and Clotte Guyon had already sensed the difficulty of the matter. It seemed an impossible task to coerce the Greek government to cooperate through public opinion.Clotte Guyon rolled his throat, took out a signature pen and signed his name on the document, then raised his hands and rubbed his temples.
Working under Napoleon VII, the rewards and pressure are equally huge. Napoleon VII is a typical heroic leader who regards power as his life and makes autocratic decisions.The orders issued need to be completed by the subordinates without compromise. Those who fail to complete will be punished heavily, and those who complete or can exceed the quota will be given high rewards.
In the action of tracking down the "Lord of the Plague", Clotte Guyon had already missed once, and did not find any clues, which made Napoleon VII very unhappy.Although Napoleon VII comforted him on the surface, Clotte Guyon knew that he could not complete the task this time, and he would definitely be excluded from Napoleon VII's leadership team.
This puts a lot of pressure on Clotte Guyon.
Pierre could see that his boss was not in a good mood. He shouldn't be in trouble, but when things got to this point, escaping was not the solution to the problem, so he hesitated and said in a low voice: "What now? What to do? Although the public opinion on the Internet is very tight, the Athens side is still not willing to cooperate with us. After all, this is related to the livelihood of tens of thousands of people. business, the entire Hydera slums also provide about 10% of Greece's handicrafts, 70% of leather products, and 40.00% of textiles. Most of these people are stateless because of cheap labor, and if they are to be forcibly eliminated, it will be a big trouble for the Greek officials that will cause social unrest, compared to the sufferings suffered by more than 60.00 minors, what is it?"
Pierre pointed at the core of the problem, and Clotte Guyon couldn't help but frowned, "Nothing else, just asking for money. Considering the current situation of the Europa League, where can I get the money for Greece?"
Pierre sighed and said: "It's not a little money. I think we spent tens of millions of euros to clean up a slum with tens of thousands of people in the Calais Jungle. The volume of Hydera is hundreds of thousands of times that of the Calais Jungle. It is not too much for Greece to ask for an unconditional aid of 100 billion euros."
"100 billion euros?" Clotte Guyon snorted coldly, "Do you think Kaminis' attitude today is only 100 billion euros?"
Pierre spread his hands and said in a low voice: "Then what should I do? If there is no money, no matter how fierce the public opinion is, the Greek officials will not do anything to Hydera."
"Let me first tell His Excellency to look at the official attitude of Greece and see how much His Excellency intends to pay to promote this matter."
----------------------
After dismissing all the subordinates, Clotte Guyon left the hotel alone, and walked along the road towards the rented villa not far away.Because they expected to live there for a long time, they rented a villa in the name of the Europa Action Agency. He was not the only one to live in this villa, because the funds were not sufficient, and several people lived with him.
In the cool breeze in Athens in late autumn, Clotte Guyon wrapped his scarf tightly and began to sort out the whole thing in his mind.
In fact, Clotte Guyon knew in his heart that Napoleon VII insisted on one thing, and he would definitely not back down. For Napoleon VII, destroying the black death forces on the continent of Europe and making money was just an appearance. His ultimate goal was to establish a "Tai Chi Dragon" is a truly chosen organization that belongs to the country.
To put it more bluntly, Napoleon VII overcame all difficulties and must eradicate the Black Death to expand his power. The current Europa Chosen organization, like the French Iris, is a Chosen organization in the name of the country. But they are all composed of members of parliament and their relatives, and their Uroboros is hereditary inheritance, so the iris is very weak for personal restraint.
Napoleon VII wanted to command these hereditary officials and lords. It was as difficult as climbing the sky. He had to argue for half a month before issuing an order.And what Napoleon VII needs now is an organization of chosen ones who can do whatever they want.
Therefore, defeating the "Black Death" has become an inevitable option, but it is not necessarily the case for Germany and Greece.
Especially Greece.
Clotte Gayon knew this well, and the Greek officials had nothing to fear, and this was the reason why they were so negligent.The upper echelons of Europa have a very clear understanding of Europa's current situation. After the "Paris Attack" and "Christianfield Battle", Europa is still in a state of disunity. It involves the distribution of interests and responsibilities of all parties. There are still great internal differences, and there are still deep contradictions in wanting to integrate into one.If it weren't for Napoleon VII's reputation as a general and his popularity on the Internet, the current Europa League might have fallen apart.
Although Napoleon VII had unprecedented prestige among the people and destroyed many capitalists to help the old nobles seize power, Napoleon VII wanted to build a new Europa with Europa characteristics, which touched the interests of too many people.
At present, Napoleon VII can control only the Europa Executive Committee and the Europa External Action Agency, which are mainly members of the Rosicrucian Society.
The Europa Parliament, the Europa Council and the Europa Central Bank, which can determine the future of Europa, are equally divided between those who support and oppose Napoleon VII.If Napoleon VII forcibly wants to promote his own plan, involving such a large sum of money in compensation, the possibility of the vote failing can be said to be [-]%.
Napoleon VII won great prestige in France because of the "Paris terrorist attack", which enabled Napoleon VII to persuade the parliament to bear most of the expenditure, but the "Paris terrorist attack" further expanded France's fiscal deficit. There is no money, and this is how hard a smart woman can cook without rice.
Putting it on Clotte Guyon, that means he didn't want to solve this problem, but it was within his purview, and there was no such possibility.The Greek government is clear about this, so even though he is wearing the dog tag of "Vice Chairman of the Europa Executive Committee and Director of the Europa External Action Agency", the Greek government only sent Kaminis, the chief of the Athens Police Department, to meet him. .
The thoughtful Clotte Guyon thought about it for a long time after returning to the villa, until he realized that it was really powerless to wipe out the "Hydra", then he took out the satellite phone and called Napoleon VII. The old butler Maurice answered the phone. After explaining that he had something to report, after waiting for a while, Clotte Guyon heard the voice of Napoleon VII.
That man's voice was always so determined that Clotte Guyon couldn't help feeling that nothing could stop him.But the plan for "Hydera" is nothing but castles in the air. Not to mention the powerful second general "Nebuchadnezzar", even the first threshold of "Hydera" - the Greek official, they all It's hard to do.
Without the consent of the Greek government, it is tantamount to wishing to wipe out Hydra, the largest criminal organization of the Black Death in Europe, and promoting "Hydra".
After a short greeting, Clotte Gayon said seriously: "Your Highness, the Athens side only sent Kaminis, the police chief, to talk to me. It seems that the Athens side meant to limit the incident to the detection of the case. Just find a few scapegoats to calm the public opinion."
"Then how do they treat you?"
"This." Clotte Guyon smiled wryly, but decided to tell the truth, "It's not very good, Kaminis almost left those newspapers that published "The Black Death and more than 30 Lolita dolls" behind." I put it on my face, accusing us of using the 'Europa Police Joint Agency' and 'Interpol' to make things happen. After talking for a few minutes, Kaminis said that they can investigate the case, but they should take the lead. We can only assist in the investigation, I disagree, he laughed at us, said we should go to Ukraine to find the source, there is no need to waste time in Athens, then got up and left.”
"Hmm~~~~"
Napoleon VII didn't show any anger or surprise, just let out a long moan without much emotion, Clotte Gayon closed his eyes, and after repeated struggles in his heart, he whispered: "Maybe we are The pressure of public opinion on Athens is not enough, we must find ways to arouse more people's attention, sympathy and righteous indignation."
"Tell me, what are your thoughts?"
Clotte Guyon was silent for a moment, took a deep breath and said the thoughts against his will, "I think we can get some videos and photos of the victims, although it is a bit against morality, it will cause harm to those victims. Greater psychological trauma will also be exposed.”
"Claude, I know what you are thinking, but to deal with a cruel and bloody criminal organization like the 'Black Death', there is no need to talk to them about procedural justice, or human rights and privacy. In extraordinary times, extraordinary means, you can do this Do."
"Okay, I understand, Your Highness."
"No, you don't understand yet. To see washing powder and white helmets, you need not just a few photos and provocative words, but also a complete chain of evidence and an authoritative and provocative spokesperson." Phone Napoleon VII at the other end paused for a moment before continuing, "I shouldn't have taught you these things."
Claude Guyon was sweating profusely, and said in a low voice, "Thank you for your teaching."
"I know a director who is very good at shooting documentaries. He can accurately grasp the public's opportunities. You can have a good chat with him. When the filming is finished, I will push it for you."
"It seems that it is not enough to put pressure on Athens from the aspect of public opinion. It cannot solve the resettlement problem of hundreds of thousands of refugees in Hydera. Athens will definitely not fully cooperate."
"What if 'Hydra' becomes an unstable factor? You have to think of a way from this aspect."
Clotte Guyon asked with some astonishment: "What do you mean?"
"Find the enemy or friend of 'Hydra', don't care who he is, you have to know that they know 'Hydra' best, you need to rely on external forces, instead of just thinking about relying on me, relying on internal forces to move things forward."
If filming a documentary is just an edge ball, then cooperating with other criminal organizations is quite a breakthrough for Clotte Guyon. He remembered that his bottom line seemed to be lowered by Napoleon VII again and again, and he didn't know whether he He was doing the right thing, just like when he chose to betray General Philip.
Clotte Guyon whispered subconsciously: "I'm sorry, Your Highness."
Napoleon VII seemed to have seen through the indecision in his heart, and said lightly: "Don't say sorry, Claude, I know you haven't changed from your previous role, you have to remember that your current role is no longer Then you are the affairs officer of the Ouyu Security Federation, but the vice chairman of the Europa Executive Committee and the director of the Operations Department. You have to think about the problem from the perspective of an official, not from the perspective of the chosen one. Interests are above all else, so don't be too pedantic, Clotte, let go of the moral shackles in your heart to solve human cancers like the 'Black Death', you can only fight fire with fire, as long as our purpose is correct, then what to use The means are irrelevant, and at critical moments, people like you need to stand up and bear the darkness for those innocent people.”
Clotte Guyon was once again persuaded by Napoleon VII. Whenever he felt that he was walking on a not so bright road, Napoleon VII could always use some impassioned words from the bottom of his heart to make him feel that the dawn was ahead.
"Yes, Your Highness, I will definitely do my best."
---------------------------
Napoleon VII hung up the phone, handed the mobile phone to Morris, shook his head and said: "This Clotte is too weak. He always pushes to move when doing things. If he has no direction, he will not know where to go. Lack of The decisiveness of becoming a general. If it is not that no one will use it, and he is a person who is easy to control, he is really not a suitable candidate."
After Morris took the phone, he seemed to think for a while before saying: "Maybe you should send Bastian to assist Mr. Clott. Although Mr. Clott acts calmly, he is not decisive enough. Bastian's character is impulsive." It’s a bit rough, but if you dare to fight hard, you can just make peace with Mr. Clott.”
"I understand, Morris, you hope that I can give my retainers more opportunities to exercise. I also know that they are also eager to try, but now is not the right time."
Speaking of Napoleon VII, he walked along the promenade towards the small hall in the garden, and Morris followed Napoleon VII in silence.
Unlike the bleak wind and rain outside the window of the living room just now, the garden outside the promenade is full of spring, and the winter garden is one of the symbols of the noble manor of Europa.Gardening life and collection of rare plants were once the most fashionable hobbies of the European aristocrats in the 17th to 19th centuries. In order to enjoy the beautiful flowers and positions like treasures in winter, the Europeans designed glass greenhouses.When winter comes, the flowers are in full bloom, the green plants are everywhere, and the warm space full of exotic styles has become a winter shelter for the top European nobles.
The current "Winter Garden" is a product of the [-]th century. Although it is old, it is well preserved. From the perspective of modern people, it is definitely not as shocking as it was back then, but its magnificence and magnificence are still timeless.Tall palm trees go straight to the glass dome, emerald green plantains and birds of paradise complement each other, and the style of tropical plants contrasts sharply with the European-style marble statue fountain. A chic beauty.
The small glass hall in the garden is also in a distinctive French Renaissance style. The white nine-square glass windows are erected to the clear glass dome. If there is sunshine, it must be a golden area, and it is an excellent place for afternoon tea.
It's a pity that the weather is gloomy today, and the lighting can only be provided by the sun lamp above the head. The effect of the lighting is far inferior to that of the sunlight, but it can also illuminate the whole small hall as beautiful as a palace.
At this moment, a well-looking young man in a black formal suit is sitting leisurely beside a gorgeous coffee table made of white marble and wood carvings. His whole body is sunken in the brown leather sofa, holding a pure white bone china The teacup, curling hot air is slowly rising under the light.
Napoleon VII walked into the coffee table, and Morris moved the sofa for him. Napoleon VII sat down gracefully, glanced at the brightly colored French pastries on the table, and said with a smile: "Luca Si, could it be that the snacks are not to your liking?"
"No, no, Your Highness, I am like those butterflies, attracted by the beauty of the garden, forgetting about these delicious foods."
Napoleon VII turned his head and glanced at the several precious butterflies flapping their wings among the flowers in the garden. The sun lamps, manjusri, gerbera, and those gorgeous butterflies created a beautiful spring scene, but right now It's really late autumn.Napoleon VII smiled and said: "Although when it comes to the new era of convenient transportation, whether it is old money or new money, I like to buy an island, but I still like this kind of less natural landscape, which allows me to have a kind of The feeling of 'fighting against the sky'"
"'Combating god grants one boundless joy', I know this sentence, it comes from "Struggle Self-Encouragement" by Teacher Huaguo, this kind of vastness can only be expressed by a few great men, just like Emperor Napoleon once said : In my dictionary, there is no such word as 'impossible'"
Napoleon VII smiled and said: "These words mean that the ancestors with great achievements can say it, and they are qualified to say it. The younger generations like us who have achieved nothing can only sigh the heroism and self-confidence of the predecessors."
The man called "Lucas" by Napoleon VII put down the cup in his hand, and said in a respectful and neither humble nor overbearing tone: "His Royal Highness is too humble, as the first one who won the god general without 'inheritance' You are the chosen one, and you are also a truly admirable powerhouse."
Napoleon VII shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "I originally thought that becoming a 'God General' would allow me to be happy and happy with my enemies, but I didn't expect to be bound even more tightly by the title of 'God General'." Napoleon VII sighed, and said in a low voice, "Nowadays, the internal struggle in Europa has become more and more fierce, and I have some doubts whether it is better to keep the status quo."
Lucas couldn't tell whether Napoleon VII's decadent tone was genuine or pretended, but it didn't matter. He hurriedly asked with concern, "I don't know what upset your Highness has encountered?"
Napoleon VII shook his head lightly, indicating that there was nothing wrong, and then said: "By the way, I haven't thanked you for the photos and materials you gave me of 'Eden' last time."
Lucas waved his hand, "Your Highness, it's just a few photos. You insist on giving me such an expensive gift, how can I accept it? You really look down on me, Lucas, by saying that."
Napoleon VII smiled, "You know, I regard you as a good friend, if you need any help from me, don't be shy to ask."
Lucas' expression became serious, he hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Speaking of which, I do have something that I would like to discuss with Your Highness."
Napoleon VII pretended to be listening attentively, staring at Lucas seriously.
"You should know that 'Sullivan' is an investigation company owned by my family, and by the way sells information in the inner world, but in fact, my family and I have another identity." Lucas paused, and Napoleon VII While looking at each other, they said in a serious voice, "My family is not the Costa family as they claim on the surface, but the Shax family, the Shax family of the Black Death, and I am the Black Death 72 The No.40 four among the demon gods—Shakes."
Napoleon VII opened his mouth slightly, showing just the right amount of surprise, not too shocked, nor too disapproving.In fact, he was quite surprised. Sullivan and Ipsos are the two largest consulting and research companies in the world, and they are also the largest intelligence providers in the world. Sullivan's headquarters is in New York, country A, while Ipsos' headquarters is in Paris.
In order to guard against information being collected before, Napoleon VII basically approached Sullivan to buy information. He got acquainted with Sullivan’s president Lucas Robert Costa a few years ago, and obtained some information through Lucas a few years ago. How could the information about the "Garden of Eden" and the information that the people of the Black Death betrayed the "Garden of Eden" surprise Napoleon VII?
Napoleon VII was very peaceful on the surface, but he took a deep breath in his heart, "Lucas, this news really surprised me, but what surprised me even more is that you will come to see me at this time."
Lucas raised his hand and said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't get me wrong, I don't have any intention of making peace with the free market and Hydera for you. I came here because you wanted to run a documentary and chose Oscar. Yes. If my guess is correct, it should be a documentary about the 'Black Death'?"
Napoleon VII didn't know what medicine was sold in Lucas' gourd, but he knew that since Lucas dared to come alone, it must be beneficial to him, so he said lightly: "Then let's see, what do you have?" I want to have a good chat with me"
"Most people don't know much about the internal structure and operation mechanism of our Black Death. Our 'Black Death 72 Demon God' is a bit much to say, but in fact it is very rare to be scattered all over the world. Some of our Black Death People with little knowledge of the disease will misunderstand that our '72 Demon Gods' are 72 aristocratic families, but it is not the case, our 'Black Death 72 Demon Gods' do not recognize people, only masks and Ouroboros."
"Only recognize masks and Uroboros?" This bloody and cruel rule shocked Napoleon VII, but after thinking about it, isn't this the most primitive "social Darwinism rule" in the world?Napoleon VII was relieved immediately and signaled Lucas to continue.
"Yes. For example, the mask inherited by my Shax family is a fish face mask. Ouroboros is also engraved with symbols belonging to our Shax family, but in fact the name 'Shax family' does not depend on bloodlines , as long as whoever can win the fish face mask and Ouroboros engraved with the Shax family symbol, whoever can use the name 'Shax', inherit the position of '72 Demon God' No.40, and master the The resources owned by the Shax family. That is to say, whoever can kill me and take away my fish face mask and my Uroboros is the owner of the Shax family. It doesn’t even need to go through 'King' permission"
"'King' is Nebuchadnezzar?" Napoleon VII asked involuntarily.
Lucas bowed his head and said solemnly: "Yes, we can't call the king by his name directly, either call him the Lord of the Morning Star, or call him the king."
"According to what you say, Nebuchadnezzar has no power over personnel affairs, so he shouldn't have enough control over the Black Death? Why do I think you are in awe when you mention this name?"
"How to put it. We are actually in a situation of competition within the Black Death. Every year, we 72 demon gods have to pay the king a huge amount of dues. Those who can complete the task will basically avoid the bad luck of being eliminated. Those who fail to complete the task will be directly deprived of the title of 72 demon gods and replaced by others. Devil."
Napoleon VII shook his head and said, "I didn't expect that you would have to endure the torment of the performance appraisal as a demon god? Then why bother?"
Lucas said with a wry smile: "Indeed, being a demon god is very stressful, but at the same time, the things you can enjoy are unimaginable for ordinary people. Take the powerful medical ability of the Black Death as an example. As long as you don't die on the spot, even if you After entering brain death, as long as you can find the "plague doctor" of the Black Death immediately, he can save you. Not only that, delaying aging and increasing life expectancy are the best tricks of the Black Death. In addition, the Black Death The disease is also very unique in the study of medicines, I believe His Highness should have heard of it. And the Black Death sounds fiercely competitive, but in fact the upper demon gods are not threatened at all. A family that hasn’t changed their surname in a hundred years, they are not only powerful, but also rich in financial resources, they are not afraid of the challenge of us little demon gods at all, so why don’t we little demon gods who rank low have the dream of becoming a big family?”
Napoleon VII shook his head again, and said sympathetically: "Although I don't know much about your Black Death, I can imagine how fierce the competition between you is." Sighing, Napoleon VII said with sympathy, "It's not easy to grow into a big family."
Of course Lucas understood Napoleon VII's hint, and sighed, "Yes! But I made a special trip to visit this time, not because I have any thoughts about the king or the Black Death."
"Huh?" Napoleon VII was a little surprised.
Lucas laughed at himself, "The king never cares about what we demon gods do or who we cooperate with. As long as we complete the performance and pay the money on time, the king will never interfere with our actions. Of course, if something happens, don't even think about it." To be rescued, he will only take away Uroboros and the mask after you die. So if I come to you, even if the king finds out, nothing will happen, and he won’t even ask. I think the world No one can be more confident than Wang."
After speaking, Lucas fell into silence, and Napoleon VII did not speak. After a long time, Napoleon VII sighed: "I really want to see the demeanor of Nebuchadnezzar." After a pause, Napoleon VII He also said, "The money you pay for the Black Death every year is an astronomical figure, right?"
"Of course, but others may not be clear, but I am very clear that almost all the money is spent on the research and development of biotechnology, followed by the maintenance of the Garden of Eden. No matter how much we pay every year, it can only be said to be barely enough, but it is sad. What’s worse is that there is still no dawn of technological breakthrough recently!”
Napoleon VII smiled and said: "I didn't expect that your Black Death is a criminal organization on the surface, but it is actually a technology company."
Lucas shook his head, "Most people have misunderstood our Black Death. In the beginning, our Black Death was an organization of doctors, and biology and medical treatment were our profession. The reason why it later developed into a criminal organization is very complicated. But smart people like Your Highness should know that organizations like ours are an important part of world stability, just like cities cannot avoid the existence of slums. For the rich, the slums are an eyesore, but for the poor they are theirs. The only homeland that can survive. The reason why we are allowed to exist is because we provide the poor and smuggled refugees of the third world with the most basic guarantee of survival, and also provide the cheapest entertainment-drugs, so that they will not riot .Although the media always likes to focus on individual X slaves, 90.00% of the population trade is smuggling, and we have left a glimmer of hope for those struggling in war and poverty." Lucas spread his hands, "I'm not justifying our actions. From a legal point of view, we are indeed guilty, and we have indeed reaped benefits, but there is no Black Death, there will be White Death, Yellow Death, and Blue Death, just like crime always will happen as long as humanity lives in an unequal world."
"Lucas, I understand these reasons, and I have never looked down on the Black Death, or contempt for you. In fact, I have full respect for the second general and the Black Death. I want you to come to see me, for sure Didn't you want to tell me this, or to persuade me to cooperate with the Black Death?"
Lucas shrugged, "Why not?"
"It is imperative for me to wipe out the free market and Hydera." Napoleon VII's voice was very soft, but his attitude was firm. "Even if the second god will come in person, I will say the same."
Lucas smiled and said in a low voice: "Your cooperation with our Black Death does not conflict with your desire to eliminate the free market and Hydera."
Napoleon VII turned the white bone china cup on the coffee table, pursed his lips tightly, and looked very serious. After a while, he said: "If you Sullivan are willing to provide information, I will be more than happy, as long as Guaranteed to be true, the price will not be low."
"Your Highness, if I only wanted to sell information, I wouldn't have told you that our Sullivan is an organization under the Black Death."
Napoleon VII asked noncommittally: "Tell me to see what you think."
Lucas looked up at Morris who was behind Napoleon VII. Napoleon VII heard the string song and knew the elegance, and waved Morris to step back. When Morris left the small hall, Lucas took out the shielding device from his pocket , put it on the tea table after opening it, and said in a low voice: "Actually, I am here on behalf of Mr. Astaroth, one of the four pillars of the Supreme."
"Astaroth? Astaroth who ranks No.16 in the heaven list?"
Lucas nodded, "Yes."
"Interesting, Lucas, but I hope you will give me a good reason. If you don't have a good reason, I don't guarantee that you can leave this mansion." Napoleon VII said with a calm expression when he said he wanted to attack Lucas. I can't tell at all that he turned his face faster than he turned a book.
Facing the threat of Napoleon VII, Lucas just smiled wryly, "Your Highness, I have come with all sincerity, and even brought you a shocking secret!"
"Really?" Napoleon VII picked up his cup and took a sip of Maria Joe black tea. He didn't look at Lucas, as if he didn't take Lucas's shocking secret seriously.
Lucas said with a solemn expression: "First of all, I have to tell you that I am here on behalf of the Astaroth family for the 'Lord of the Plague'."
Napoleon VII looked up at Lucas. He squinted his eyes and said calmly, "You mean the Lord of the Plague who fought with me?"
"Yes, Mr. Astaroth is willing to help you destroy the free market and Hydera." Lucas spoke slowly. He observed Napoleon VII's expression while speaking, and speculated whether Napoleon VII knew Athena or not. It is the master of Hydera - the demon god Beret.
According to intelligence, Napoleon VII did not know about this matter, and the relationship between the two was far from being as close as that of a lover. It can be said that Athena had ulterior motives in getting involved in the European aristocratic circle.But what it actually looks like, Lucas is not [-]% sure, but the higher the reward, the higher the risk, the lower the success rate. This is an unbreakable truth, and Lucas must take this risk.
Moreover, he also believed in the accuracy of his intelligence.
"So, Mr. Astaroth's request is Ouroboros, the Lord of the Plague?"
"No, Mr. Astaru only needs the equipment of the Plague Lord."
"Paying such a high price for a piece of equipment?"
"For you, this piece of equipment may be just a divine outfit, but for our Black Death, it is the supreme symbol. I told you that the origin of our Black Death is the Black Death in the Middle Ages of Europa The plague doctor in the great plague, so... the Lord of the Plague, has a completely different meaning for our Black Death."
Napoleon VII guessed in an instant what made Astaro find him and was willing to pay such a high price. He asked bluntly, "It's even significant enough to inherit the position of God General?"
Lucas did not answer directly, but said meaningfully: "A piece of equipment cannot determine the ownership of a general, and in the end it depends on strength."
"Is this the shocking secret you mentioned?"
"of course not."
"Could it be that what you want to tell me is the true identity of the second general?"
Lucas shook his head, "I don't know Wang's real identity, but I know Miss Athena's real identity"
Napoleon VII's originally relaxed body immediately straightened up, like a lion lying on the grassland leisurely basking in the sun, suddenly found the enemy intruding into its territory, it stood up, and was about to tear the opponent apart He stared at his opponent with an imposing manner.
Beads of sweat rolled down Lucas' forehead along his cheeks. He rolled his throat and said cautiously: "Miss Athena is the supreme pillar of our Black Death, the Lord of Hydra!"
The small hall, smelling of tea and flowers, fell into a suffocating silence.
"You're lying!" Napoleon VII was like a giant dragon whose scales had been touched, and his whole body exuded unparalleled aura. His long hair floated up, and the hard marble coffee table instantly shattered into powder. Beautiful pastries and exquisite tea sets flew in all directions, smashing against the flawless glass windows, making fragmented sounds.Those colorful snacks turned into colorful dyes and smeared on the glass windows; those exquisite tableware hit the glass windows to form broken patterns; and the silver knives and forks were inserted into the white The wooden window lattices buzzed and trembled above.
All of a sudden, the small hall with bright and clean windows became a mess.
Lucas, who was sitting opposite Napoleon VII, was also unfortunately hit. He wiped a handful of pink macarons that hit him on the face, then put his fingers stained with pastry into his mouth, and sucked a few times. He made a squeaking sound, and said calmly: "If Your Highness is willing to give up eliminating Hydera for the sake of Miss Athena, then you can also arrest me as if I didn't say anything. But it's a pity about the Black Death. This little devil doesn't know as much as Miss Athena."
Napoleon VII, who was sitting on the brown leather sofa, suppressed his heavy panting. He grabbed the armrest and changed his eyes from confusion to firmness several times before he straightened his bow tie, nodded slightly, and said apologetically, "Sorry, Lu Cass, I lost my composure, go wash your face and change your clothes, I will ask someone to clean up the house, we will talk later."
The string in the seemingly calm Lucas' heart relaxed a little. He stood up and said with a smile, "Okay."
"I'm so sorry." Napoleon VII also stood up, and he sincerely apologized to Lucas again. At this moment, he is gentle and gentle, making it impossible to believe that just now, he was still furious and hideous.
"It's okay, Your Highness, this news is really shocking. I'm telling you now, it's not to sow discord, but Mr. Astaru wants the Black Death to be transformed into a normal business organization, not a criminal organization, and drugs are legal Modernization is not an insurmountable obstacle, the times are different. However, this concept conflicts with Miss Athena, maybe Miss Athena is too blind to the king.”
"I don't need to explain too much. For me, women are for conquest, not for pampering." Napoleon VII raised his head and stared at Lucas. Si, said coldly, "I, Napoleon VII, will not change my original intention for a woman."
-------------------------
The documentary about the Black Death has officially closed and entered post-production.The entire documentary was filmed on a makeshift studio outside of Athens, and the actors were all skilled women workers from Ukraine who came to Athens to earn extra money, as well as some refugees from the slums.
In order to increase the persuasiveness, the protagonist of the documentary chose Interpol Patani, and entered the whole case from her perspective. It also interspersed with scenes of Lolita being abused by the criminals. In fact, these pictures are all post-production Production, Interpol does not have these heinous videos in their hands.
At the end of November, this documentary titled "The Plague of the Heart-Black Death" was officially released on Twitter and Youtube, and countless well-known big Vs reposted it.It pushed the anger of people all over the world to a climax, especially at the end, when Patani, who looked lovely, described in tears that they wanted to solve the case but faced many difficulties, and wanted to find justice for the abused children, but because of The non-cooperation of various countries made it impossible to achieve it, which aroused the anger on the Internet.
However, Athens still buried its head in the sand like an ostrich and ignored the heated discussions on the Internet.It wasn't until the documentary was nominated for an Oscar that things took a turn.In order to catch up with hot spots and driven by capital, the major TV media in country A and Europa began to stop. The discussion that was originally limited to the Internet suddenly expanded to news and TV media all over the world.
In December, the Athens side couldn't sit still, and the verbal criticism from major media around the world made the Athens side feel pressured. Finally, the Athens police held a press conference.Kaminis, the chief of the Athens Police Department, said that the case would be solved as soon as possible.But it didn't help. Under organized planning, people took to the streets, holding huge banners and banners, demanding that European countries unite to fight against the "Black Death".
Under the pressure of international and domestic public opinion, Athens had to send a large number of police forces into the red-light district of Aristotle Street to clean up those refugees seeking livelihood, shut down many hair washing rooms, and arrested some undocumented refugees. However, it triggered a large-scale riot in the slums. A large group of armed refugees violently resisted the law and launched a fierce gun battle with the Athens police.
These refugees are not only well-trained, but also have more advanced guns than the Athens police. In the exchange of fire with the Athens police, more than a dozen policemen were killed and injured, which further deteriorated the situation.
-------------------------
Cheng Mo, who was imprisoned in the thirteenth-floor prison in Hydera, heard gunshots while doing yoga exercises. At first he didn't take it seriously, until the gunshots sounded like fried beans, he realized that something was wrong.
So Cheng Mo walked to the edge of the cell, put his ear against the wall, and listened carefully.Hold your breath so that Cheng Mo can hear more details clearly.Although the gunshots were far away, judging from the intensity, this was a very intense firefight, which was also mixed with the sound of sirens and the noisy shouts of people.
"This is not just a gun battle, but a large-scale riot." Cheng Mo made his judgment in his heart, "But Hydra has such a strong control over Hydra, and Athens must acquiesce to Hydera The existence of Hydera made Hydera so powerful. There is no doubt that countless upper-class people in Athens are entangled in the interests of Hydera, and the countless refugees living in Hydera are also a big problem that Athens cannot handle. This makes it almost impossible for Athens to take action against Hydra."
"What happened?" Cheng Mo wondered, "It has nothing to do with me anyway." Cheng Mo didn't think that Hydera could have any serious problems, so he didn't continue to listen, and returned to the bed to continue the snake pose yoga workout.
Now he can maintain the basic form of the "Seven Sins" for four hours, and he can also use the "freezing ray" to make ice cubes. It is unlikely that he will use the "freezing ray" to hurt people, but in the hot weather Sometimes, it is very useful to make some ice water.
I don't know how long it took, but when it was time to deliver the bread, the robot that was on time every day didn't come.Cheng Mo closed his eyes again and listened carefully for a while. There were still sporadic gunshots outside. He walked to the door and put his ears on the iron gate, when he heard "Boom, Boom, Boom" knocking on the door in the corridor. The sound echoed, and it was obvious that he was not the only one whose food and water were not delivered.
"It's definitely not a trivial matter." Cheng Mo stood up, and he kept wandering at the door, thinking whether he should take the risk and use the "Seven Sins" to escape from the prison

(End of this chapter)
As the vice chairman of the Europa Executive Committee and the director of the Europa External Action Agency, Napoleon VII's confidant, Clotte Guyon, walked out of the meeting room first. He first shook hands with the chubby Kaminis, the representative of the Athens police. After watching him leave with a blank expression, he lowered his round metal glasses and looked down at the meeting minutes handed over by Pierre.
The text in the minutes of the meeting was so crude that it made people sad, and the two sides broke up happily without talking a few words. Except for the information about Hydera, there are too few things that can be recorded.
The Greek officials only sent Kaminis, the chief of the Athens Police Department, to negotiate, but they made up their minds to ignore the joint forced palace by the Europa Executive Committee, the Europa Police Joint Agency, and Interpol.
The late autumn sun was shining through the window on the minutes of the meeting. Clotte Guyon glanced at what Kaminis had just said at the meeting, and saw the last sentence: "Then there is no need to talk about it. I suggest that you should go to Ukraine to investigate source, not in our Athens."
Kaminis' impatient expression was vivid, and Clotte Guyon had already sensed the difficulty of the matter. It seemed an impossible task to coerce the Greek government to cooperate through public opinion.Clotte Guyon rolled his throat, took out a signature pen and signed his name on the document, then raised his hands and rubbed his temples.
Working under Napoleon VII, the rewards and pressure are equally huge. Napoleon VII is a typical heroic leader who regards power as his life and makes autocratic decisions.The orders issued need to be completed by the subordinates without compromise. Those who fail to complete will be punished heavily, and those who complete or can exceed the quota will be given high rewards.
In the action of tracking down the "Lord of the Plague", Clotte Guyon had already missed once, and did not find any clues, which made Napoleon VII very unhappy.Although Napoleon VII comforted him on the surface, Clotte Guyon knew that he could not complete the task this time, and he would definitely be excluded from Napoleon VII's leadership team.
This puts a lot of pressure on Clotte Guyon.
Pierre could see that his boss was not in a good mood. He shouldn't be in trouble, but when things got to this point, escaping was not the solution to the problem, so he hesitated and said in a low voice: "What now? What to do? Although the public opinion on the Internet is very tight, the Athens side is still not willing to cooperate with us. After all, this is related to the livelihood of tens of thousands of people. business, the entire Hydera slums also provide about 10% of Greece's handicrafts, 70% of leather products, and 40.00% of textiles. Most of these people are stateless because of cheap labor, and if they are to be forcibly eliminated, it will be a big trouble for the Greek officials that will cause social unrest, compared to the sufferings suffered by more than 60.00 minors, what is it?"
Pierre pointed at the core of the problem, and Clotte Guyon couldn't help but frowned, "Nothing else, just asking for money. Considering the current situation of the Europa League, where can I get the money for Greece?"
Pierre sighed and said: "It's not a little money. I think we spent tens of millions of euros to clean up a slum with tens of thousands of people in the Calais Jungle. The volume of Hydera is hundreds of thousands of times that of the Calais Jungle. It is not too much for Greece to ask for an unconditional aid of 100 billion euros."
"100 billion euros?" Clotte Guyon snorted coldly, "Do you think Kaminis' attitude today is only 100 billion euros?"
Pierre spread his hands and said in a low voice: "Then what should I do? If there is no money, no matter how fierce the public opinion is, the Greek officials will not do anything to Hydera."
"Let me first tell His Excellency to look at the official attitude of Greece and see how much His Excellency intends to pay to promote this matter."
----------------------
After dismissing all the subordinates, Clotte Guyon left the hotel alone, and walked along the road towards the rented villa not far away.Because they expected to live there for a long time, they rented a villa in the name of the Europa Action Agency. He was not the only one to live in this villa, because the funds were not sufficient, and several people lived with him.
In the cool breeze in Athens in late autumn, Clotte Guyon wrapped his scarf tightly and began to sort out the whole thing in his mind.
In fact, Clotte Guyon knew in his heart that Napoleon VII insisted on one thing, and he would definitely not back down. For Napoleon VII, destroying the black death forces on the continent of Europe and making money was just an appearance. His ultimate goal was to establish a "Tai Chi Dragon" is a truly chosen organization that belongs to the country.
To put it more bluntly, Napoleon VII overcame all difficulties and must eradicate the Black Death to expand his power. The current Europa Chosen organization, like the French Iris, is a Chosen organization in the name of the country. But they are all composed of members of parliament and their relatives, and their Uroboros is hereditary inheritance, so the iris is very weak for personal restraint.
Napoleon VII wanted to command these hereditary officials and lords. It was as difficult as climbing the sky. He had to argue for half a month before issuing an order.And what Napoleon VII needs now is an organization of chosen ones who can do whatever they want.
Therefore, defeating the "Black Death" has become an inevitable option, but it is not necessarily the case for Germany and Greece.
Especially Greece.
Clotte Gayon knew this well, and the Greek officials had nothing to fear, and this was the reason why they were so negligent.The upper echelons of Europa have a very clear understanding of Europa's current situation. After the "Paris Attack" and "Christianfield Battle", Europa is still in a state of disunity. It involves the distribution of interests and responsibilities of all parties. There are still great internal differences, and there are still deep contradictions in wanting to integrate into one.If it weren't for Napoleon VII's reputation as a general and his popularity on the Internet, the current Europa League might have fallen apart.
Although Napoleon VII had unprecedented prestige among the people and destroyed many capitalists to help the old nobles seize power, Napoleon VII wanted to build a new Europa with Europa characteristics, which touched the interests of too many people.
At present, Napoleon VII can control only the Europa Executive Committee and the Europa External Action Agency, which are mainly members of the Rosicrucian Society.
The Europa Parliament, the Europa Council and the Europa Central Bank, which can determine the future of Europa, are equally divided between those who support and oppose Napoleon VII.If Napoleon VII forcibly wants to promote his own plan, involving such a large sum of money in compensation, the possibility of the vote failing can be said to be [-]%.
Napoleon VII won great prestige in France because of the "Paris terrorist attack", which enabled Napoleon VII to persuade the parliament to bear most of the expenditure, but the "Paris terrorist attack" further expanded France's fiscal deficit. There is no money, and this is how hard a smart woman can cook without rice.
Putting it on Clotte Guyon, that means he didn't want to solve this problem, but it was within his purview, and there was no such possibility.The Greek government is clear about this, so even though he is wearing the dog tag of "Vice Chairman of the Europa Executive Committee and Director of the Europa External Action Agency", the Greek government only sent Kaminis, the chief of the Athens Police Department, to meet him. .
The thoughtful Clotte Guyon thought about it for a long time after returning to the villa, until he realized that it was really powerless to wipe out the "Hydra", then he took out the satellite phone and called Napoleon VII. The old butler Maurice answered the phone. After explaining that he had something to report, after waiting for a while, Clotte Guyon heard the voice of Napoleon VII.
That man's voice was always so determined that Clotte Guyon couldn't help feeling that nothing could stop him.But the plan for "Hydera" is nothing but castles in the air. Not to mention the powerful second general "Nebuchadnezzar", even the first threshold of "Hydera" - the Greek official, they all It's hard to do.
Without the consent of the Greek government, it is tantamount to wishing to wipe out Hydra, the largest criminal organization of the Black Death in Europe, and promoting "Hydra".
After a short greeting, Clotte Gayon said seriously: "Your Highness, the Athens side only sent Kaminis, the police chief, to talk to me. It seems that the Athens side meant to limit the incident to the detection of the case. Just find a few scapegoats to calm the public opinion."
"Then how do they treat you?"
"This." Clotte Guyon smiled wryly, but decided to tell the truth, "It's not very good, Kaminis almost left those newspapers that published "The Black Death and more than 30 Lolita dolls" behind." I put it on my face, accusing us of using the 'Europa Police Joint Agency' and 'Interpol' to make things happen. After talking for a few minutes, Kaminis said that they can investigate the case, but they should take the lead. We can only assist in the investigation, I disagree, he laughed at us, said we should go to Ukraine to find the source, there is no need to waste time in Athens, then got up and left.”
"Hmm~~~~"
Napoleon VII didn't show any anger or surprise, just let out a long moan without much emotion, Clotte Gayon closed his eyes, and after repeated struggles in his heart, he whispered: "Maybe we are The pressure of public opinion on Athens is not enough, we must find ways to arouse more people's attention, sympathy and righteous indignation."
"Tell me, what are your thoughts?"
Clotte Guyon was silent for a moment, took a deep breath and said the thoughts against his will, "I think we can get some videos and photos of the victims, although it is a bit against morality, it will cause harm to those victims. Greater psychological trauma will also be exposed.”
"Claude, I know what you are thinking, but to deal with a cruel and bloody criminal organization like the 'Black Death', there is no need to talk to them about procedural justice, or human rights and privacy. In extraordinary times, extraordinary means, you can do this Do."
"Okay, I understand, Your Highness."
"No, you don't understand yet. To see washing powder and white helmets, you need not just a few photos and provocative words, but also a complete chain of evidence and an authoritative and provocative spokesperson." Phone Napoleon VII at the other end paused for a moment before continuing, "I shouldn't have taught you these things."
Claude Guyon was sweating profusely, and said in a low voice, "Thank you for your teaching."
"I know a director who is very good at shooting documentaries. He can accurately grasp the public's opportunities. You can have a good chat with him. When the filming is finished, I will push it for you."
"It seems that it is not enough to put pressure on Athens from the aspect of public opinion. It cannot solve the resettlement problem of hundreds of thousands of refugees in Hydera. Athens will definitely not fully cooperate."
"What if 'Hydra' becomes an unstable factor? You have to think of a way from this aspect."
Clotte Guyon asked with some astonishment: "What do you mean?"
"Find the enemy or friend of 'Hydra', don't care who he is, you have to know that they know 'Hydra' best, you need to rely on external forces, instead of just thinking about relying on me, relying on internal forces to move things forward."
If filming a documentary is just an edge ball, then cooperating with other criminal organizations is quite a breakthrough for Clotte Guyon. He remembered that his bottom line seemed to be lowered by Napoleon VII again and again, and he didn't know whether he He was doing the right thing, just like when he chose to betray General Philip.
Clotte Guyon whispered subconsciously: "I'm sorry, Your Highness."
Napoleon VII seemed to have seen through the indecision in his heart, and said lightly: "Don't say sorry, Claude, I know you haven't changed from your previous role, you have to remember that your current role is no longer Then you are the affairs officer of the Ouyu Security Federation, but the vice chairman of the Europa Executive Committee and the director of the Operations Department. You have to think about the problem from the perspective of an official, not from the perspective of the chosen one. Interests are above all else, so don't be too pedantic, Clotte, let go of the moral shackles in your heart to solve human cancers like the 'Black Death', you can only fight fire with fire, as long as our purpose is correct, then what to use The means are irrelevant, and at critical moments, people like you need to stand up and bear the darkness for those innocent people.”
Clotte Guyon was once again persuaded by Napoleon VII. Whenever he felt that he was walking on a not so bright road, Napoleon VII could always use some impassioned words from the bottom of his heart to make him feel that the dawn was ahead.
"Yes, Your Highness, I will definitely do my best."
---------------------------
Napoleon VII hung up the phone, handed the mobile phone to Morris, shook his head and said: "This Clotte is too weak. He always pushes to move when doing things. If he has no direction, he will not know where to go. Lack of The decisiveness of becoming a general. If it is not that no one will use it, and he is a person who is easy to control, he is really not a suitable candidate."
After Morris took the phone, he seemed to think for a while before saying: "Maybe you should send Bastian to assist Mr. Clott. Although Mr. Clott acts calmly, he is not decisive enough. Bastian's character is impulsive." It’s a bit rough, but if you dare to fight hard, you can just make peace with Mr. Clott.”
"I understand, Morris, you hope that I can give my retainers more opportunities to exercise. I also know that they are also eager to try, but now is not the right time."
Speaking of Napoleon VII, he walked along the promenade towards the small hall in the garden, and Morris followed Napoleon VII in silence.
Unlike the bleak wind and rain outside the window of the living room just now, the garden outside the promenade is full of spring, and the winter garden is one of the symbols of the noble manor of Europa.Gardening life and collection of rare plants were once the most fashionable hobbies of the European aristocrats in the 17th to 19th centuries. In order to enjoy the beautiful flowers and positions like treasures in winter, the Europeans designed glass greenhouses.When winter comes, the flowers are in full bloom, the green plants are everywhere, and the warm space full of exotic styles has become a winter shelter for the top European nobles.
The current "Winter Garden" is a product of the [-]th century. Although it is old, it is well preserved. From the perspective of modern people, it is definitely not as shocking as it was back then, but its magnificence and magnificence are still timeless.Tall palm trees go straight to the glass dome, emerald green plantains and birds of paradise complement each other, and the style of tropical plants contrasts sharply with the European-style marble statue fountain. A chic beauty.
The small glass hall in the garden is also in a distinctive French Renaissance style. The white nine-square glass windows are erected to the clear glass dome. If there is sunshine, it must be a golden area, and it is an excellent place for afternoon tea.
It's a pity that the weather is gloomy today, and the lighting can only be provided by the sun lamp above the head. The effect of the lighting is far inferior to that of the sunlight, but it can also illuminate the whole small hall as beautiful as a palace.
At this moment, a well-looking young man in a black formal suit is sitting leisurely beside a gorgeous coffee table made of white marble and wood carvings. His whole body is sunken in the brown leather sofa, holding a pure white bone china The teacup, curling hot air is slowly rising under the light.
Napoleon VII walked into the coffee table, and Morris moved the sofa for him. Napoleon VII sat down gracefully, glanced at the brightly colored French pastries on the table, and said with a smile: "Luca Si, could it be that the snacks are not to your liking?"
"No, no, Your Highness, I am like those butterflies, attracted by the beauty of the garden, forgetting about these delicious foods."
Napoleon VII turned his head and glanced at the several precious butterflies flapping their wings among the flowers in the garden. The sun lamps, manjusri, gerbera, and those gorgeous butterflies created a beautiful spring scene, but right now It's really late autumn.Napoleon VII smiled and said: "Although when it comes to the new era of convenient transportation, whether it is old money or new money, I like to buy an island, but I still like this kind of less natural landscape, which allows me to have a kind of The feeling of 'fighting against the sky'"
"'Combating god grants one boundless joy', I know this sentence, it comes from "Struggle Self-Encouragement" by Teacher Huaguo, this kind of vastness can only be expressed by a few great men, just like Emperor Napoleon once said : In my dictionary, there is no such word as 'impossible'"
Napoleon VII smiled and said: "These words mean that the ancestors with great achievements can say it, and they are qualified to say it. The younger generations like us who have achieved nothing can only sigh the heroism and self-confidence of the predecessors."
The man called "Lucas" by Napoleon VII put down the cup in his hand, and said in a respectful and neither humble nor overbearing tone: "His Royal Highness is too humble, as the first one who won the god general without 'inheritance' You are the chosen one, and you are also a truly admirable powerhouse."
Napoleon VII shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "I originally thought that becoming a 'God General' would allow me to be happy and happy with my enemies, but I didn't expect to be bound even more tightly by the title of 'God General'." Napoleon VII sighed, and said in a low voice, "Nowadays, the internal struggle in Europa has become more and more fierce, and I have some doubts whether it is better to keep the status quo."
Lucas couldn't tell whether Napoleon VII's decadent tone was genuine or pretended, but it didn't matter. He hurriedly asked with concern, "I don't know what upset your Highness has encountered?"
Napoleon VII shook his head lightly, indicating that there was nothing wrong, and then said: "By the way, I haven't thanked you for the photos and materials you gave me of 'Eden' last time."
Lucas waved his hand, "Your Highness, it's just a few photos. You insist on giving me such an expensive gift, how can I accept it? You really look down on me, Lucas, by saying that."
Napoleon VII smiled, "You know, I regard you as a good friend, if you need any help from me, don't be shy to ask."
Lucas' expression became serious, he hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "Speaking of which, I do have something that I would like to discuss with Your Highness."
Napoleon VII pretended to be listening attentively, staring at Lucas seriously.
"You should know that 'Sullivan' is an investigation company owned by my family, and by the way sells information in the inner world, but in fact, my family and I have another identity." Lucas paused, and Napoleon VII While looking at each other, they said in a serious voice, "My family is not the Costa family as they claim on the surface, but the Shax family, the Shax family of the Black Death, and I am the Black Death 72 The No.40 four among the demon gods—Shakes."
Napoleon VII opened his mouth slightly, showing just the right amount of surprise, not too shocked, nor too disapproving.In fact, he was quite surprised. Sullivan and Ipsos are the two largest consulting and research companies in the world, and they are also the largest intelligence providers in the world. Sullivan's headquarters is in New York, country A, while Ipsos' headquarters is in Paris.
In order to guard against information being collected before, Napoleon VII basically approached Sullivan to buy information. He got acquainted with Sullivan’s president Lucas Robert Costa a few years ago, and obtained some information through Lucas a few years ago. How could the information about the "Garden of Eden" and the information that the people of the Black Death betrayed the "Garden of Eden" surprise Napoleon VII?
Napoleon VII was very peaceful on the surface, but he took a deep breath in his heart, "Lucas, this news really surprised me, but what surprised me even more is that you will come to see me at this time."
Lucas raised his hand and said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't get me wrong, I don't have any intention of making peace with the free market and Hydera for you. I came here because you wanted to run a documentary and chose Oscar. Yes. If my guess is correct, it should be a documentary about the 'Black Death'?"
Napoleon VII didn't know what medicine was sold in Lucas' gourd, but he knew that since Lucas dared to come alone, it must be beneficial to him, so he said lightly: "Then let's see, what do you have?" I want to have a good chat with me"
"Most people don't know much about the internal structure and operation mechanism of our Black Death. Our 'Black Death 72 Demon God' is a bit much to say, but in fact it is very rare to be scattered all over the world. Some of our Black Death People with little knowledge of the disease will misunderstand that our '72 Demon Gods' are 72 aristocratic families, but it is not the case, our 'Black Death 72 Demon Gods' do not recognize people, only masks and Ouroboros."
"Only recognize masks and Uroboros?" This bloody and cruel rule shocked Napoleon VII, but after thinking about it, isn't this the most primitive "social Darwinism rule" in the world?Napoleon VII was relieved immediately and signaled Lucas to continue.
"Yes. For example, the mask inherited by my Shax family is a fish face mask. Ouroboros is also engraved with symbols belonging to our Shax family, but in fact the name 'Shax family' does not depend on bloodlines , as long as whoever can win the fish face mask and Ouroboros engraved with the Shax family symbol, whoever can use the name 'Shax', inherit the position of '72 Demon God' No.40, and master the The resources owned by the Shax family. That is to say, whoever can kill me and take away my fish face mask and my Uroboros is the owner of the Shax family. It doesn’t even need to go through 'King' permission"
"'King' is Nebuchadnezzar?" Napoleon VII asked involuntarily.
Lucas bowed his head and said solemnly: "Yes, we can't call the king by his name directly, either call him the Lord of the Morning Star, or call him the king."
"According to what you say, Nebuchadnezzar has no power over personnel affairs, so he shouldn't have enough control over the Black Death? Why do I think you are in awe when you mention this name?"
"How to put it. We are actually in a situation of competition within the Black Death. Every year, we 72 demon gods have to pay the king a huge amount of dues. Those who can complete the task will basically avoid the bad luck of being eliminated. Those who fail to complete the task will be directly deprived of the title of 72 demon gods and replaced by others. Devil."
Napoleon VII shook his head and said, "I didn't expect that you would have to endure the torment of the performance appraisal as a demon god? Then why bother?"
Lucas said with a wry smile: "Indeed, being a demon god is very stressful, but at the same time, the things you can enjoy are unimaginable for ordinary people. Take the powerful medical ability of the Black Death as an example. As long as you don't die on the spot, even if you After entering brain death, as long as you can find the "plague doctor" of the Black Death immediately, he can save you. Not only that, delaying aging and increasing life expectancy are the best tricks of the Black Death. In addition, the Black Death The disease is also very unique in the study of medicines, I believe His Highness should have heard of it. And the Black Death sounds fiercely competitive, but in fact the upper demon gods are not threatened at all. A family that hasn’t changed their surname in a hundred years, they are not only powerful, but also rich in financial resources, they are not afraid of the challenge of us little demon gods at all, so why don’t we little demon gods who rank low have the dream of becoming a big family?”
Napoleon VII shook his head again, and said sympathetically: "Although I don't know much about your Black Death, I can imagine how fierce the competition between you is." Sighing, Napoleon VII said with sympathy, "It's not easy to grow into a big family."
Of course Lucas understood Napoleon VII's hint, and sighed, "Yes! But I made a special trip to visit this time, not because I have any thoughts about the king or the Black Death."
"Huh?" Napoleon VII was a little surprised.
Lucas laughed at himself, "The king never cares about what we demon gods do or who we cooperate with. As long as we complete the performance and pay the money on time, the king will never interfere with our actions. Of course, if something happens, don't even think about it." To be rescued, he will only take away Uroboros and the mask after you die. So if I come to you, even if the king finds out, nothing will happen, and he won’t even ask. I think the world No one can be more confident than Wang."
After speaking, Lucas fell into silence, and Napoleon VII did not speak. After a long time, Napoleon VII sighed: "I really want to see the demeanor of Nebuchadnezzar." After a pause, Napoleon VII He also said, "The money you pay for the Black Death every year is an astronomical figure, right?"
"Of course, but others may not be clear, but I am very clear that almost all the money is spent on the research and development of biotechnology, followed by the maintenance of the Garden of Eden. No matter how much we pay every year, it can only be said to be barely enough, but it is sad. What’s worse is that there is still no dawn of technological breakthrough recently!”
Napoleon VII smiled and said: "I didn't expect that your Black Death is a criminal organization on the surface, but it is actually a technology company."
Lucas shook his head, "Most people have misunderstood our Black Death. In the beginning, our Black Death was an organization of doctors, and biology and medical treatment were our profession. The reason why it later developed into a criminal organization is very complicated. But smart people like Your Highness should know that organizations like ours are an important part of world stability, just like cities cannot avoid the existence of slums. For the rich, the slums are an eyesore, but for the poor they are theirs. The only homeland that can survive. The reason why we are allowed to exist is because we provide the poor and smuggled refugees of the third world with the most basic guarantee of survival, and also provide the cheapest entertainment-drugs, so that they will not riot .Although the media always likes to focus on individual X slaves, 90.00% of the population trade is smuggling, and we have left a glimmer of hope for those struggling in war and poverty." Lucas spread his hands, "I'm not justifying our actions. From a legal point of view, we are indeed guilty, and we have indeed reaped benefits, but there is no Black Death, there will be White Death, Yellow Death, and Blue Death, just like crime always will happen as long as humanity lives in an unequal world."
"Lucas, I understand these reasons, and I have never looked down on the Black Death, or contempt for you. In fact, I have full respect for the second general and the Black Death. I want you to come to see me, for sure Didn't you want to tell me this, or to persuade me to cooperate with the Black Death?"
Lucas shrugged, "Why not?"
"It is imperative for me to wipe out the free market and Hydera." Napoleon VII's voice was very soft, but his attitude was firm. "Even if the second god will come in person, I will say the same."
Lucas smiled and said in a low voice: "Your cooperation with our Black Death does not conflict with your desire to eliminate the free market and Hydera."
Napoleon VII turned the white bone china cup on the coffee table, pursed his lips tightly, and looked very serious. After a while, he said: "If you Sullivan are willing to provide information, I will be more than happy, as long as Guaranteed to be true, the price will not be low."
"Your Highness, if I only wanted to sell information, I wouldn't have told you that our Sullivan is an organization under the Black Death."
Napoleon VII asked noncommittally: "Tell me to see what you think."
Lucas looked up at Morris who was behind Napoleon VII. Napoleon VII heard the string song and knew the elegance, and waved Morris to step back. When Morris left the small hall, Lucas took out the shielding device from his pocket , put it on the tea table after opening it, and said in a low voice: "Actually, I am here on behalf of Mr. Astaroth, one of the four pillars of the Supreme."
"Astaroth? Astaroth who ranks No.16 in the heaven list?"
Lucas nodded, "Yes."
"Interesting, Lucas, but I hope you will give me a good reason. If you don't have a good reason, I don't guarantee that you can leave this mansion." Napoleon VII said with a calm expression when he said he wanted to attack Lucas. I can't tell at all that he turned his face faster than he turned a book.
Facing the threat of Napoleon VII, Lucas just smiled wryly, "Your Highness, I have come with all sincerity, and even brought you a shocking secret!"
"Really?" Napoleon VII picked up his cup and took a sip of Maria Joe black tea. He didn't look at Lucas, as if he didn't take Lucas's shocking secret seriously.
Lucas said with a solemn expression: "First of all, I have to tell you that I am here on behalf of the Astaroth family for the 'Lord of the Plague'."
Napoleon VII looked up at Lucas. He squinted his eyes and said calmly, "You mean the Lord of the Plague who fought with me?"
"Yes, Mr. Astaroth is willing to help you destroy the free market and Hydera." Lucas spoke slowly. He observed Napoleon VII's expression while speaking, and speculated whether Napoleon VII knew Athena or not. It is the master of Hydera - the demon god Beret.
According to intelligence, Napoleon VII did not know about this matter, and the relationship between the two was far from being as close as that of a lover. It can be said that Athena had ulterior motives in getting involved in the European aristocratic circle.But what it actually looks like, Lucas is not [-]% sure, but the higher the reward, the higher the risk, the lower the success rate. This is an unbreakable truth, and Lucas must take this risk.
Moreover, he also believed in the accuracy of his intelligence.
"So, Mr. Astaroth's request is Ouroboros, the Lord of the Plague?"
"No, Mr. Astaru only needs the equipment of the Plague Lord."
"Paying such a high price for a piece of equipment?"
"For you, this piece of equipment may be just a divine outfit, but for our Black Death, it is the supreme symbol. I told you that the origin of our Black Death is the Black Death in the Middle Ages of Europa The plague doctor in the great plague, so... the Lord of the Plague, has a completely different meaning for our Black Death."
Napoleon VII guessed in an instant what made Astaro find him and was willing to pay such a high price. He asked bluntly, "It's even significant enough to inherit the position of God General?"
Lucas did not answer directly, but said meaningfully: "A piece of equipment cannot determine the ownership of a general, and in the end it depends on strength."
"Is this the shocking secret you mentioned?"
"of course not."
"Could it be that what you want to tell me is the true identity of the second general?"
Lucas shook his head, "I don't know Wang's real identity, but I know Miss Athena's real identity"
Napoleon VII's originally relaxed body immediately straightened up, like a lion lying on the grassland leisurely basking in the sun, suddenly found the enemy intruding into its territory, it stood up, and was about to tear the opponent apart He stared at his opponent with an imposing manner.
Beads of sweat rolled down Lucas' forehead along his cheeks. He rolled his throat and said cautiously: "Miss Athena is the supreme pillar of our Black Death, the Lord of Hydra!"
The small hall, smelling of tea and flowers, fell into a suffocating silence.
"You're lying!" Napoleon VII was like a giant dragon whose scales had been touched, and his whole body exuded unparalleled aura. His long hair floated up, and the hard marble coffee table instantly shattered into powder. Beautiful pastries and exquisite tea sets flew in all directions, smashing against the flawless glass windows, making fragmented sounds.Those colorful snacks turned into colorful dyes and smeared on the glass windows; those exquisite tableware hit the glass windows to form broken patterns; and the silver knives and forks were inserted into the white The wooden window lattices buzzed and trembled above.
All of a sudden, the small hall with bright and clean windows became a mess.
Lucas, who was sitting opposite Napoleon VII, was also unfortunately hit. He wiped a handful of pink macarons that hit him on the face, then put his fingers stained with pastry into his mouth, and sucked a few times. He made a squeaking sound, and said calmly: "If Your Highness is willing to give up eliminating Hydera for the sake of Miss Athena, then you can also arrest me as if I didn't say anything. But it's a pity about the Black Death. This little devil doesn't know as much as Miss Athena."
Napoleon VII, who was sitting on the brown leather sofa, suppressed his heavy panting. He grabbed the armrest and changed his eyes from confusion to firmness several times before he straightened his bow tie, nodded slightly, and said apologetically, "Sorry, Lu Cass, I lost my composure, go wash your face and change your clothes, I will ask someone to clean up the house, we will talk later."
The string in the seemingly calm Lucas' heart relaxed a little. He stood up and said with a smile, "Okay."
"I'm so sorry." Napoleon VII also stood up, and he sincerely apologized to Lucas again. At this moment, he is gentle and gentle, making it impossible to believe that just now, he was still furious and hideous.
"It's okay, Your Highness, this news is really shocking. I'm telling you now, it's not to sow discord, but Mr. Astaru wants the Black Death to be transformed into a normal business organization, not a criminal organization, and drugs are legal Modernization is not an insurmountable obstacle, the times are different. However, this concept conflicts with Miss Athena, maybe Miss Athena is too blind to the king.”
"I don't need to explain too much. For me, women are for conquest, not for pampering." Napoleon VII raised his head and stared at Lucas. Si, said coldly, "I, Napoleon VII, will not change my original intention for a woman."
-------------------------
The documentary about the Black Death has officially closed and entered post-production.The entire documentary was filmed on a makeshift studio outside of Athens, and the actors were all skilled women workers from Ukraine who came to Athens to earn extra money, as well as some refugees from the slums.
In order to increase the persuasiveness, the protagonist of the documentary chose Interpol Patani, and entered the whole case from her perspective. It also interspersed with scenes of Lolita being abused by the criminals. In fact, these pictures are all post-production Production, Interpol does not have these heinous videos in their hands.
At the end of November, this documentary titled "The Plague of the Heart-Black Death" was officially released on Twitter and Youtube, and countless well-known big Vs reposted it.It pushed the anger of people all over the world to a climax, especially at the end, when Patani, who looked lovely, described in tears that they wanted to solve the case but faced many difficulties, and wanted to find justice for the abused children, but because of The non-cooperation of various countries made it impossible to achieve it, which aroused the anger on the Internet.
However, Athens still buried its head in the sand like an ostrich and ignored the heated discussions on the Internet.It wasn't until the documentary was nominated for an Oscar that things took a turn.In order to catch up with hot spots and driven by capital, the major TV media in country A and Europa began to stop. The discussion that was originally limited to the Internet suddenly expanded to news and TV media all over the world.
In December, the Athens side couldn't sit still, and the verbal criticism from major media around the world made the Athens side feel pressured. Finally, the Athens police held a press conference.Kaminis, the chief of the Athens Police Department, said that the case would be solved as soon as possible.But it didn't help. Under organized planning, people took to the streets, holding huge banners and banners, demanding that European countries unite to fight against the "Black Death".
Under the pressure of international and domestic public opinion, Athens had to send a large number of police forces into the red-light district of Aristotle Street to clean up those refugees seeking livelihood, shut down many hair washing rooms, and arrested some undocumented refugees. However, it triggered a large-scale riot in the slums. A large group of armed refugees violently resisted the law and launched a fierce gun battle with the Athens police.
These refugees are not only well-trained, but also have more advanced guns than the Athens police. In the exchange of fire with the Athens police, more than a dozen policemen were killed and injured, which further deteriorated the situation.
-------------------------
Cheng Mo, who was imprisoned in the thirteenth-floor prison in Hydera, heard gunshots while doing yoga exercises. At first he didn't take it seriously, until the gunshots sounded like fried beans, he realized that something was wrong.
So Cheng Mo walked to the edge of the cell, put his ear against the wall, and listened carefully.Hold your breath so that Cheng Mo can hear more details clearly.Although the gunshots were far away, judging from the intensity, this was a very intense firefight, which was also mixed with the sound of sirens and the noisy shouts of people.
"This is not just a gun battle, but a large-scale riot." Cheng Mo made his judgment in his heart, "But Hydra has such a strong control over Hydra, and Athens must acquiesce to Hydera The existence of Hydera made Hydera so powerful. There is no doubt that countless upper-class people in Athens are entangled in the interests of Hydera, and the countless refugees living in Hydera are also a big problem that Athens cannot handle. This makes it almost impossible for Athens to take action against Hydra."
"What happened?" Cheng Mo wondered, "It has nothing to do with me anyway." Cheng Mo didn't think that Hydera could have any serious problems, so he didn't continue to listen, and returned to the bed to continue the snake pose yoga workout.
Now he can maintain the basic form of the "Seven Sins" for four hours, and he can also use the "freezing ray" to make ice cubes. It is unlikely that he will use the "freezing ray" to hurt people, but in the hot weather Sometimes, it is very useful to make some ice water.
I don't know how long it took, but when it was time to deliver the bread, the robot that was on time every day didn't come.Cheng Mo closed his eyes again and listened carefully for a while. There were still sporadic gunshots outside. He walked to the door and put his ears on the iron gate, when he heard "Boom, Boom, Boom" knocking on the door in the corridor. The sound echoed, and it was obvious that he was not the only one whose food and water were not delivered.
"It's definitely not a trivial matter." Cheng Mo stood up, and he kept wandering at the door, thinking whether he should take the risk and use the "Seven Sins" to escape from the prison
I recommend "Harry Potter: Invincible Learning" by Ms. Tongtang.
