Quadruple split
Chapter 2422: People are not
"In that case, we will have to take back this kindness."
Ai Vanye, the spokesperson of the Kevos family, calmly finished the explanation, then closed his eyes and leaned on the back of the chair, lazily raising his right hand.
Cole, who was standing behind him, sighed helplessly in his heart, then stretched out his hands and used just the right amount of force to squeeze the lady who was clearly the youngest at this table but had the most weight in speaking...or rather, the girl. She raised her shoulders, giving her a perhaps unnecessary aura.
In fact, if you look at it from an objective point of view, both Ai Vanye and Cole Shuren are just slightly older children who have just grown up. You must know that less than a year ago, the two He was only a student of the Pato Military Academy, and even as a student he was far from outstanding.
Cole, although he has achieved good results in all aspects, is far behind his friend Dave. Although he is also given expectations by people around him, the limits of those very measured expectations are no more than He was a captain in the Pato City Guards, and his salary was enough for him to support his wife and three or four children.
Dave, who was far more powerful than him, was recognized as having a chance to pass the assessment of the Knights of Justice, and even become a high-level paladin of the same religious level as Yizuo Jileite.
As for Rada, who is not as powerful as Cole in the male trio, but has a bold personality, he himself thought at the time that he could just be an ordinary guard with his strength. It would be great if he could marry his beloved girl back home. But that's it.
In the girls group, Lorna Yuehui is a well-deserved star among her peers. Although she is not as dazzling as Dave, she is still a good youngster who has been trained by the academy. The deputy dean of Pato Military Academy revealed in a chat , he plans to wait until Rona's foundation becomes stronger and send her to the Mage Guild in the capital of the Violet Empire for internship, so that this smart girl born in a small town can move to a broader stage that matches her strength!
As for Ai Fanye, she was relatively average. At that time, she had almost no advantages other than being extremely introverted and studying very hard. Even her pretty face that would make Radha dream about it every day was not as beautiful and generous as Lorna. Yaoyan can be said to be a very ordinary student.
However, Xiao Ai, who is very self-aware, has never cared about this. She has mentioned to her good friend Rona more than once that her dream is to work in a small church in the city after graduating from the college. Although most religious people in Pato City Everyone loves the God of Justice and Courage. There are less than three people in the Sun Sect’s church, but she still wants to pray for people in that small church, listen to anyone’s worries, and provide them with whatever she can. help.
However, as a vicious conspiracy unfolds and a crazy passerby arrives, everything changes.
Radha is dead.
Lorna died too.
At the center of the conspiracy, Dave, who had already fallen into a cult, also died.
The surviving Ai Vanye and Cole Shuren followed the lunatic, madman or other complex thing and allowed him to completely rewrite their lives.
The four words "things change and people change" are vividly reflected in these two people.
Counting from the time when Pato City experienced drastic changes and the young girl almost collapsed, in less than a year, they seemed to have been pulled into another world.
A world that they could not even dream of in the past.
The young man who was once thought to be successful as long as he became the captain of the guard, and who was neither high nor low, just led people to complete a textbook murder an hour ago in the "Devil's Cave" in the eyes of countless people in the Free City. Set fire' and get away with it when it's all over.
The girl who originally dreamed of having a seat in that small church, cleaning the pulpit every day, occasionally doing confessions for people, and teaching children how to read and write for charity, was sitting with a few random thoughts at this moment. Among the people who could level the entire Pato City, they lazily closed their eyes. The reason why she could enjoy this moment of peace was because the people around her needed some time to figure out her thoughts, and then Then make a statement or decision that meets her expectations.
If you think about it carefully, Xiao Ai used the word 'we' in most of her descriptions just now, and the us in her mouth can be directly understood as one of the members of the street committee of the Kevos family and the forces behind it. , but can also be understood as the entire Bella Street Street Committee.
The former is a literal meaning and there is no room for interpretation, but if understood from the latter perspective, then the voice represented by Xiao Ai, the most junior voice in the committee, can be said to be deafening.
In fact, the situation at hand is really more inclined to the latter interpretation.
The reason is very simple, that is, getting rid of the [Fire Demon Mercenary Group] has only been a unilateral idea of the Kevos family from beginning to end, but the result of this matter is that the latter has won the cooperation of all parties and put their own will It was carried out to the end, that is - No. 2 Bella Street turned into a sea of fire after being slaughtered.
So, can such a person who can carry out his will to the end as long as he speaks out be said to be able to control the entire Bella Street Committee? Can he be called the speaker of the committee?
The answer is of course yes.
Rather, unlike [Fire Demon Mercenary Group] and [Blue Sacred Code], two organizations that are both new forces on Bella Street, the reason why the Kaivos family can join the committee so smoothly is because of its influence on the entire Street committee control.
After all, from the very beginning, the Fire Claw Territory agent who had received orders to fully cooperate with Motan's will, the founder of [Roman Abyss], Elma Heche, was one of his own, and the founder of [Blue Sacred Scripture], Hermes, whose true identity is a special cyber police officer, has also established a strong and mutually beneficial relationship with Mo Tan.
So, let’s look back at today’s drama.
Is the point really that [Fire Demon] is unruly?
Is the point really to use [Fire Demon] to establish authority?
Is the point really that the existence of [Fire Demon] itself is a hidden danger?
Stop making trouble, those are just excuses and covers. Even if there is some truth in it, the value of that truth is probably not as expensive as a bottle of strawberry-flavored soda.
That's right, from the beginning, there was actually only one reason why Xiao Ai chose to eliminate the [Fire Demon], and that was to completely control the decision-making power of the [Bella Street Committee].
As mentioned before, according to the rules of the Bella Street Subdistrict Committee, a resolution to add new members requires the approval of all members. Under normal circumstances other than today's internal fight, the minority generally obeys. most.
In this way, the problem is much simpler.
As the agent of [Harlequin Card] in the Free City, Xiao Ai currently controls the three tickets [Kevos Family], [Roman Abyss] and [Blue Sacred Scripture], and for [Black Curtain] , [Imelda Chamber of Commerce] and [Fire Demon Mercenary Group], but she can only exert influence.
In other words, in the worst case scenario, [Harlequin Card]’s layout and plan based on the Bella Street Street Committee will fail due to a tie vote. Although this probability is very small, this Xiao Ai still does not want this to happen. .
Therefore, without Mr. Trouble at all, Xiao Ai conducted a very comprehensive research and inspection during the previous period, and finally came to the conclusion, 'Then just eradicate the [Fire Demon Mercenary Group]'←This in conclusion.
Among them, although the information given by Boss Junwu from the perspective of an outsider is very important, the final selection of [Fire Demon] as the target was entirely a conclusion reached by Xiao Ai after comprehensive consideration.
In fact, in Xiao Ai's original plan, there was no participation of super-high-level cadres like the Ace of Hearts. After all, she knew very well that [Harlequin Card] was a system that did not have a strict superior-subordinate relationship and was similar in form to 'Net'. The organization knows better that even if [Witch] is willing to cooperate with her, the favor must be attributed to her husband, so unless there are special circumstances, she will not seek the cooperation of senior cadres on her own will.
As a result, things are unpredictable. The butcher's knife of [Witch] was specifically mentioned by her husband when Xiao Ai needed to kill a chicken. He said that if it was not troublesome, he could use the Ace of Hearts who was working in the summer job a little bit. It couldn't be better.
In this way, despite not commenting on the word "use", Xiao Ai still complied with his husband's request without hesitation and dragged the Ace of Hearts into this plan that was supposed to be devastating.
Then, the remnants of the [Fire Demon Mercenary Group] stationed at No. 2 Bella Street were swatted to death like flies. However, for the sake of Ms. Ace of Hearts’ mood, Xiao Ai still made a special trip and issued the While entrusting him, he personally told Teresa that although the other party would be 'killed', because they were from another world, their death would not be complete. Strictly speaking, they would not actually die.
Facts have also proved that although Teresa Tarosha is a top student at [Danu Military Academy] and more than half of the classmates around her hope to develop into professional commanders, she obviously does not have the ability to disregard life. A general must have the necessary qualities, so after hearing that the other party was from another world, he breathed a sigh of relief and accepted the commission without hesitation.
At this point, the number of members of the Bella Street Committee has been reduced from six to five, and three of them can be directly exerted absolute influence by Xiao Ai.
So from a certain point of view, there is nothing wrong with comparing Xiao Ai to the talker of the Bella Street Street Committee, and she also secretly released a bit of a leader's aura in this impromptu meeting.
There is only one purpose, and that is to test [Imelda Chamber of Commerce] and [Black Piercing Screen], and understand their attitudes in the process.
"I think Ms. Vanye has exactly the right idea."
Father Lorenzo touched his beard, then put his slightly trembling hands behind his back, and said seriously: "Old Lorenzo believes that this is actually a kind of care for the [Fire Demon Mercenary Group]. After all, Judging from the results of today’s test, even if we do nothing, No. 2 Bella Street will be doomed to be doomed in the future, so as Ms. Vanye said, the Kevos family has been kind enough.”
President Imelda, who has already determined that there is a giant behind the [Kevos Family], also nodded and agreed: "Seeing that everyone has been getting along well during this period, I can provide some pensions. To the [Fire Demon Mercenary Group], provided that they will not continue to entangle with this matter."
This is a naked statement. Compared with Lorenzo who still did not say anything after all, Granny Imelda's words can be said to have essentially supported the Cavos family. After all, the pension itself is not important. What is really important is the prerequisite for the Imelda Chamber of Commerce to be willing to provide pensions.
The warning to [Fire Demon] not to continue to entangle itself is equivalent to cleaning up the aftermath of the Kaivos family.
"I don't care."
Hermes shrugged and gave Xiao Ai a warning glance: "As long as the fire doesn't burn me, or...make me feel like the fire will burn me."
Alma, who had the most gray business, pursed her lips and smiled, and said leisurely: "It won't burn me anyway."
"Very well, then finally..."
Xiao Ai opened her eyes, gently patted the back of Cole's hand on her shoulder to stop the massage, and said softly: "No. 2 Bella Street will be idle soon. I wonder who among you is interested?"
"Not interested."
Hemis was the first to wave his hand and added teasingly: "If you want me, you can just say it."
“I already have enough properties.”
Imelda shook her head with a smile and expressed her position: "I am too old to worry about so much."
Alma licked her lips and said half-jokingly: "I would like to open a new store for the newly rescued sisters, but I don't know how long this fire will last. If it takes a long time, girl Our throats were choked by so much carbon ash, but our screams were not pleasant.”
Xiao Ai smiled and said softly: "I took a look on the way here before, and I feel that the fever will last for a long time."
"Forget it then."
Alma raised her eyebrows and said with feigned disdain: "I'm not in a hurry to open anyway."
Father Lourenco spread his hands and said innocently: "We have no money, we can't afford it."
"If that's the case, our Kaivos family happens to be short of a cold storage recently, so we might as well choose the location at No. 2."
Xiao Ai looked around at everyone and gave everyone a sweet smile: "Of course, we won't let everyone enjoy this convenience in vain."
Everyone was silent, obviously accepting the girl's proposal.
"Then, let's come here today, and we'll get together later when we have time."
Xiao Ai stood up first and smiled: "I hope the atmosphere next time will be better than now."
So everyone stood up one after another to say goodbye and greet each other.
Then……
"Cole."
Just when Hermes, Elma, Imelda and Lorenzo had just reached the door and had not had time to step on the steps downstairs, the girl gave instructions to the young man behind her in a voice that was not deliberately lowered -
"Tell someone to put out the fire."
