According to incomplete statistics, there are at least 90 princes in Saudi Arabia, and the sons of princes are princes.Among them, 10% of the princes live a life without worrying about food and clothing, and the other 42% of the princes have mastered the main wealth and power.The so-called illegitimate prince refers to the prince or the child born illegally by the prince outside.Such people do not enjoy royal subsidies and allowances.The biggest feature is that the mothers of illegitimate princes are generally Caucasian, that is, white in the traditional sense.Hal is 33 years old this year and [-] years old when he was arrested. He was sentenced to death two years after his arrest, but has not yet been executed.

House pointed at Liang Xi: "As we thought, CA intelligence analysts believe that the so-called eldest princess is probably related to Hal."

Liang Xi suddenly realized: "Bobby told me that he knew Petain and failed to seduce Petain. According to Bobby's understanding, Petain refused to have any intimate contact with any man or woman. I thought Bobby didn't know Petain enough at the time, but now It sounds like that's what it is."

House said: "After a criminal in the United States is sentenced to death, it takes an average of seven and a half years before his execution. Hal should have been executed three years ago, but his execution was suspended because of his involvement in the terrorist attack at Maria Hospital. "

Liang Xi said, "Sacred Banner Society?"

House opened the photo, pointed and said, "Look here."

Liang Xi looked at the photo: "The whole horse is blacked out, look at the wool."

House smiled and said, "Someone reported that Hal is the founder of the Holy Banner Society."

Liang Xi asked, "I haven't heard that MI6 mentioned this matter."

House replied: "Because we didn't tell MI6 that Hal was the founder of the Holy Banner Society."

Liang Xi: "Damn it."

House didn't take it seriously, and said: "CA's latest assessment believes that the Holy Banner has no value, especially the failure of the last Holy Light operation, declaring that the Holy Banner is a product of failure. In order to conceal it, we concealed the relationship between Hal and the Holy Banner Society from our allies. relationship, Hal will be executed in the near future. Am I a big favor?"

Liang Xi asked, "Does that mean I can't tell?"

House nodded.

Liang Xi asked, "Do you have any information about Hal's woman?"

House replied: "According to our investigation, we believe that Hal and Pétain are in love with each other until death. After Zall confessed Pétain, CA fully investigated the relationship between Pétain and Hal again. , No third party was found in their relationship. It is basically certain that Petain is the decision maker of the Holy Banner and the current president of the Holy Banner Society."

House said: "In short, the establishment of the Holy Banner Society is the product of Pétain's inheritance of Hal's behest. She completed the work that Hal did not complete. The emergence and rise of the Holy Banner is Pétain's attempt to save Hal's life. Efforts made, all tragedies stem from love."

Liang Xi asked, "Who is the eldest princess?"

House asked: "Have you ever thought about the possibility that Petain is the eldest princess and Zall is the second princess?"

Liang Xi thought for a while and shook his head: "Zoer is not qualified to be a boss."

House stretched out his fingers to flip through the photos, and said: "The analyst has no comment on this issue. He personally does not rule out the possibility of the princess, but judging from the information and clues obtained by the analyst, there is no trace of the princess."

Liang Xi asked, "Who is Hal's father?"

House said: "Hal's father was a prince who was arrested by the Saudi authorities seven years ago for funding terrorism and committed suicide in prison a week later."

Liang Xi asked, "Where's Hal's mother?"

House replied: "According to news from Saudi Arabia, Hal's mother was killed by Hal's grandfather after giving birth to Hal. Hal's grandfather was a prince. He had nine wives and 38 children." The law stipulates A man can have up to four wives, but the law also provides for divorce.The King of Saudi Arabia married more than 300 wives, leaving a huge royal empire to Saudi Arabia. More than 5000 princes reproduced crazily.Every year, Saudi Arabia distributes more than tens of billions of dollars in subsidies and subsidies for this purpose.

House said: "These are the news that CA can provide."

Liang Xi asked, "Who else provided it?"

House replied: "House! Your dearest friend House. A total of 200 Blood Moon members participated in this Blood Moon invitation, and each of the [-] members paid a deposit of [-] million euros."

Liang Xi said: "I know, it is said that considering their physical condition, they are allowed to use substitutes to compete for themselves."

House nodded: "I have received news that at least one person will not hire a substitute, but chooses to directly participate in the invitation. This person is Petain."

Liang Xi was surprised and asked, "Will Petain participate?"

"Ok!"

"Pétain should know that Zall betrayed her."

House said: "This is the advantage of the wicked. Because good people need to speak the law and need evidence. How could Drow, who is loyal to Pétain, keep the evidence of Pétain's crime? Perhaps because of this, Drow was able to sell it generously. Petain. Otherwise, with Zall's solidified thinking, sacrificing the child to save Petain should be the best option."

Liang Xi took out his mobile phone: "Come here with your account number."

"Whether it's money or not, we're friends."

"A friend is a friend, and a transaction is a transaction."

"Okay, old account."

Liang Xi transferred 100 million US dollars, and after confirming, he lamented: "It still hurts a little bit."

House went crazy: "Did we say anything when you knocked us 300 million with Mal? Didn't we give you your 100 million dollars?"

Liang Xi disagreed: "The 300 million is given by the United States, and the 100 million is for you personally."

"No, I have to turn in the money. Gentlemen love money, and they get it in a proper way. The United States is very rich, and as an American employee, I will not take advantage of the United States." House weakly added: "Or you thought our accounts were not strictly regulated."

Human nature is evil.Few people in the world can completely rely on self-discipline to restrain their behavior without supervision.

Liang Xi smiled and asked, "What's your intention in calling the independent faction?"

House: "Let's talk about it tonight. It's a disgusting thing to repeat a paragraph and explain it twice."

……

Liang Xi and House came out of the screening room for a walk together. Chris had arrived and was playing poker with Bobby in the backyard.The maids arranged tables and chairs and prepared afternoon tea.Not long after, Anthony arrived in a taxi and saw House handing over the plane ticket and asking for reimbursement.It can be seen that the story between these two people is enough to write a book.

Now that everyone has arrived, there is no need to wait for the dinner. Everyone sat down in the backyard and chatted for a while. Anthony asked, "House, what's the matter?" The old friend handed over the topic.

If you really want House to say it, House doesn't know where to start. After thinking for a long time, he said: "Brothers, although we seldom communicate with each other in daily life, the friendship between gentlemen is as light as water..."

Anthony: "Your fart is really long."

House had no choice but to stop talking nonsense, and said: "Someone has arranged a job for me, and I can't tell everyone what the job is. But I know that everyone is a hero, without everyone's cooperation and help, I, House, would be nothing."

Liang Xi said, "House, don't beat around the bush."

House said: "During the blood moon invitation, if you need it, please listen to my arrangement. Simply put, it is to control the outcome of this blood moon invitation. I don't want everyone to help. Every order I give is worth 50 yuan. GBP. For example: Liang Xi, you are going to lose to Bobby tonight in the fight. Whether you can’t beat Bobby or you lose the game on purpose, you can get 50 pounds. At the same time, there is also a prerequisite: if you agree to join the group, Orders must be carried out. You cannot accept one order and reject another."

House said: "Everyone, don't worry, listen to me. Even if you don't want to join, as long as you don't mention it, you will give me 100 pounds. You can think carefully before deciding whether to join my team. The villain first The gentleman explained that there are two important points. The first is that I will not let everyone do things that endanger their own safety. The second is that if you join my team, you must obey orders. Even if you have not received any orders, you can still get [-] million GBP."

Anthony questioned: "Has the pound become paper? Do Americans have the habit of spending money like this?"

Liang Xi said, "It's not American."

House nodded: "It has nothing to do with Americans, it's purely helping friends and earning some pocket money by the way."

Chris said: "I just heard from Bobby that he will not participate in this blood moon invitation."

"Oh?" Both Anthony and House showed surprised expressions, and Anthony said: "I don't think there should be a big problem in terms of safety. The Blood Moon invitation will not smash your own brand. Those Blood Moon members who want to become the next elders, they will not Will want to make an enemy of Blood Moon."

House nodded: "I agree. The blood moon invitation is not a world that ordinary rich children can touch. I stay in the blood moon with a shameless face. On the one hand, it is my job. On the other hand, I really like this model. Like an astronaut, They are not richer than others, they are not more handsome than others, but he can go to heaven. You must know that there are not many people who can go to heaven, and people must leave some bragging capital for their old age, right?"

Anthony echoed: "Bobby, don't you get tired of being the king of the sea every day? Where you can go, many people can go. Women you can sleep with, many people can sleep. Although there are few rich people, they are by no means rare. This blood moon The invitation is different from the past. In the past, the Blood Moon invitation was more entertaining, but this time the Blood Moon invitation is more competitive. As the largest private intelligence agency, this invitation can be regarded as a major event in Europe, but we only know about it There aren't many people here. Bobby, you don't have any interest in participating?"

Facing everyone's eyes, Bobby was a little embarrassed: "Something happened."

The atmosphere fell into silence, and everyone didn't know what to say. Obviously, the topic of blood moon was not suitable for discussion.House said: "Bobby, I won't bother you if you have something to do... It's a rare meeting today. I will be the host, Westminster Pier, enjoy the Thames River, and taste all the world's delicacies."

Anthony stood up as a man of action: "I came in a hurry, and I went in a hurry. It's a pity for this table of dim sum."

Chris nodded to Poppy and stood up too.Everyone's subtext: Since you are not participating in the blood moon, why invite everyone to your house for dinner?

Liang Xi looked back at the three of them: "I have a car, I will go there by myself later."

House pointed down the beam, meaning to wait for you and say goodbye to Bobby.Daisy, the housekeeper, saw someone leaving, so she hurried over to see off the guest.

After everyone left, Liang Xi asked, "Since you decided not to go, why did you invite everyone to dinner?"

Holding a coffee cup in his hand, Bobby stood watching House's car pass by the road not far away, and said thoughtfully, "Jesus ate the last supper peacefully knowing that he was betrayed. Please eat with a mentality and bid farewell to people in another world."

"It's good. It's not the rich second generation who doesn't know the happiness of the rich second generation. Carefree, enjoying the prosperity of the world, is the life that countless people dream of." Liang Xi stood up, reached out to shake Bobby's hand, and hugged with one arm: "Take care brother, goodbye."

Looking at a table of refreshments, Poppy suddenly kicked the table angrily. Daisy, who had just sent Liang Xi away, came back to see this scene, and asked two maids to clean it up.Daisy walked up to the sulking Bobby who was leaning against the fence on one side and persuaded: "Your mother is also for your safety. Before playing, at least she is still in the UK, with the Earl of Blood Moon as the backing. Now I am going to the high seas." , bodyguards are not allowed, and the Blood Moon statement may present unpredictable dangers."

Bobby sneered: "It's so simple? She is worried that if I die now, the father who inherits the patriarch will divorce her immediately and kick her out. Since the uncle's incident, I have been her only straw. Don't pretend that I don't know, Last month, she asked you to come forward and subcontract the raw material procurement business of the subsidiary company to her company. It was originally a docking business between the two companies, but she was a middleman forcibly. Her company seems to be absorbed in Clement The leeches on the group are desperately sucking blood."

Daisy said: "But she is still your mother. Since her brother died, only money can give her a sense of security."

Poppy asked, "Do you remember why her brother died?"

Daisy thought for a while: "From a certain point of view, she is really bad. But from another point of view, you are the bad guys. After she married your father, her only shortcoming was vanity. At that time, everyone in the manor thought she was She is a good person. It all stems from that summer. When she was pregnant with you, she learned that your father had a family outside, and even had children. This shock made her lose control of her emotions and even collapsed, and even suffered from depression. You, your father, and your grandfather all thought that This kind of thing is no big deal, your father didn't even apologize to her, but alienated her even more."

Poppy didn't answer.

Daisy: "Your father's family outside is her eternal knot. If she knows that you are going to accept your father's illegitimate child, but ignores her own two children, the situation may get out of hand."

Bobby sighed: "Why should our generation bear the faults of the previous generation?"

Daisy said in relief: "In a wealthy family, because of the involvement of interests, it is inevitable that many things will happen. If there is no one thing, there will be another thing. For example, you have the confidence to keep your own after marriage. A belt?"

"Hey, did you talk to the boss like that? Although it is true." Bobby said: "I should act like a patriarch and deal with these things clearly."

Chapter 5: The Battle of the Blood Moon ([-])

The gourmet yacht circles the Thames River and has a panoramic view of the night scenery on both sides.

House is very generous today, not only chartering a yacht that can accommodate four tables, but also what is more expensive.A bottle of red wine costs more than two thousand pounds.Of course, today's business is not in units of thousands, but in units of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions.

House mainly reminded everyone that neutral guests may be out soon, so they can make a lot of money.As long as you join the House Club, even if you are eliminated in the first round, you can get a bonus of 100 million pounds.

"I'm not joking." House said: "According to my understanding, except for a few of the 19 powerful guests who will personally attend the invitation, the substitutes they hire are all characters with both civil and military skills. Let me talk about a substitute: Ristone. Ristone's father is a mercenary. He grew up on the battlefield since he was a child. He has a superior IQ, completed middle school courses by himself, and was admitted to Cambridge University to study aerospace electronics. He is 28 years old this year and is the personal assistant, driver and bodyguard of the current French National Assembly Speaker. It is said He is studying for a doctorate and intends to become a French diplomat."

House: "What do you compare with others? Wu? He can fight a group with his bare hands, from pistols to fighter jets. Wen? He is proficient in four national languages, has two master's degrees, and is a computer expert. Brother Guys, substitutes, why can’t you find a substitute if you have money? What you have to do now is to join the House Club, what truth, what competition, Mani is the last word. Guarantee a million pounds, an order of 50 pounds, and Is there anything more lucrative than this?"

House kept the three of them silent and added fuel to the fire: "Chris, tell me, as the prince of Denmark who was kicked out, do you need money?"

"want."

"How much?"

"As many as you want."

House asked: "Then what are you waiting for? How about this, I will personally give you an additional 110 guarantee. After you went to the blood moon invitation and said that you had a stomachache and withdrew from the invitation, you can get [-] million pounds."

"Sounds really good." Liang Xi said: "I have been instilled with two truths since I was a child. The first sentence: There is no free lunch in the world. The second round: Free is the most expensive. I added one later: when When someone desperately wants to send you money, don’t ask for it.”

House: "Liang Xi, if you think about it clearly, someone can beat you with a single finger. And you Anthony, do you think it was 20 years ago? Can your beer belly withstand someone's punch?"

Anthony struggled: "What you said seems to be correct, but it feels like being on a thief ship. Who is your boss?"

House said: "Don't ask about it, just join the club and take money to obey orders."

Liang Xi asked, "How much did you take?"

"I'm just helping my friends," House laughed.

Liang Xi shook his head: "Just with such a positive attitude towards you, I don't believe it without 500 million."

"You people." House thought for a while, and said, "Well, I'll give you a little more discount, and add 200 pounds for each order. Or buy it out, buy it out for [-] million, and pay on the spot. This is my last offer." The bottom line cannot be higher."

Liang Xi's heart continued to waver: This money is really a bit easy to earn.It is undeniable that what House said is very reasonable, he knows how much he has, and he cannot be the opponent of the stand-in.It is impossible for Blood Moon to come out to a murder scene to compete in order to take care of his career.

Anthony, who is most familiar with House, sees through everything and puts forward new conditions: "The minimum guarantee is 150 million, and each order is 70."

House shook his head again and again: "No, then I'll make money."

"Do you want me to call your boss directly?" Anthony said, "I already guessed who your boss is."

House asked, "Who?"

Anthony stretched out his head and said a name in House's ear. House suffered a moment and slapped the table: "Okay, 150 plus 70! How about you?"

Participating in the blood moon is to make money, after all, no other life can be more exciting than Thresh.Chris immediately said, "Count me in."

Everyone watched Liang Xi together, and House asked, "Liang Xi?"

Liang Xi had a constipated expression for a long time, and said helplessly: "No, I have a personal reason for participating in this blood moon invitation, and I cannot be controlled by anyone."

Seeing that Liang Xi was not lying, House nodded, "I can understand what you said. But you can do odd jobs, and an order is 30. You can choose to accept it or not."

Liang Xi asked, "What about the guarantee?"

House laughed and scolded: "A temporary worker still wants to guarantee a minimum salary. You think too much of you. Come on, let's raise your glasses and wish us a happy cooperation." Obviously House is very satisfied with the result of being able to get two and a half helpers.Who is House's boss?If Liang Xi guessed with his ass, he would think that House's boss was Hannah.Guess with your brain?Of course it was Hannah who rode the horse.

Everyone may have money, but only Hannah has such a big money and a bold personality.It is undeniable that because of Hannah's behavior style, Liang Xi has some respect for Hannah in his heart.Poppy coins and Hannah coins are not at the same level and grade at all.Poppy throwing coins is like playing house, and Hannah throwing coins can kill people.

……

Two days later, the four neutral guests left British waters on a yacht and entered the high seas.A medium-sized cruise ship under the British flag stopped in the high seas: the Hancock.This is a Brighton Tours cruise ship.

After seeing the national flag and the Hancock, everyone on the yacht knew that Blood Moon didn't want the situation to get out of control, and they were ready to interfere with Blood Moon's invitation.For crimes committed on the high seas, its jurisdiction belongs to the country where the ship is located, which is only a few tens of kilometers away from British waters.People who want to do bad things have to weigh it.In addition, we have to consider whether the blood moon has any connection with the British army?

Reception Liang Xi and the others are 25-year-old female intern housekeepers. After introducing each other, the intern housekeeper handed over the No. 1-4 brands to four people and asked them to pin them on their left chest clothes.Four room cards were also given, and the neutral guests lived in the best room on the cruise ship, the luxury suite on the fifth floor, and each person had a room.

The intern steward explained the situation of the ship, and most of the crew were put on leave, replaced by staff hired by Blood Moon.She is in charge of the invitation site this time, because it is the first time for her to take full charge of the site, so she is in a hurry now, so she can only invite the four guests to the room by herself, and she will contact the four guests after sorting out other matters.

A staff member in a suit led the way, and there was no one with luggage. The situation on the scene was indeed a bit chaotic.Some staff were not equipped with communicators and yelled.Some staff members did not know who their supervisors were, and a male staff member was carrying a bundle of ropes looking for someone everywhere.It is said that half an hour ago, a woman in purple overalls asked him to find a bundle of rope for her. The rope was found, but the female supervisor in purple overalls disappeared.

Steward Blood Moon stood on the bridge next to the captain's room and looked at the hustle and bustle below, and had no intention of intervening.
