"Bang" a silver wine glass was thrown to the ground. The exquisite vulture pattern on the wine glass could not withstand such a violent impact. One of its wings fell off and scattered aside.
Senat's face was livid, and he stared viciously at Raphael and Karina who were kneeling in front of him. He clenched his fists and roared angrily: "Why, tell me the reason, who allowed you to mobilize the garrison?" The elite troops of Free Paradise are going to rob and kill Ryan and the others."
Karina knelt on the ground, looking timidly at Senat, who was about to choose someone to devour, and carefully replied: "This, this, I heard, I heard that Raphael failed in Seawind City, I think this Ryan is absolutely disgusting, he has destroyed me more than once..."
"Shut up." Senat yelled. The knuckles of his clenched fists had begun to turn white due to excessive force: "It's useless, can't you just use your brain? From the sheep's horns From the town to Elmida, to the Thunder God Fortress, and to Seawind City, the Ryan magician and his companions have shown enough strength. In this case, you don't even have a plan, just let it go. What's the difference between sending the elite troops stationed in Free Paradise to launch an attack and letting them die?"
"But, but..." Karina hesitated for a moment, but in order to shirk her responsibility, she still said it: "We can't just swallow it. If it weren't for Raphael's incompetence..."
As soon as Karina said this, Senat slapped her on the right side of her face, knocking Karina to the ground. Senat strode to Karina and pushed himself Pressing his upper body down, he said in a condescending manner: "Are all women so stupid? I really doubt if you are my daughter. Damn it, maybe I should have shot you against the wall. You This big-breasted and brainless fool, you and your mother can only serve men, and everything else is a complete mess."
Karina lowered her head meekly, as if listening to Senat's reprimands and scoldings, but no one saw that Karina's right hand hidden under her body had been tightly clenched into a fist. The extremely fine nails had been completely embedded into the palm of her hand, but Karina remained silent.
"Listen." Senat grabbed Karina's hair, turned her face to him, and then said: "I'm warning you, your top priority now is to seduce Steven immediately and get pregnant with his flesh and blood, as long as If you can do this, you are still the person in charge of Free Paradise. Otherwise, just go back and I can find another daughter to marry him. Anyway, you know that he doesn't care about his woman. .”
"As you command, Father." Half of Carina's face was swollen, and a stream of blood flowed down the corner of her mouth, but Carina's face still maintained a submissive expression, and she looked at it with regretful eyes. Looking at Senat, he whispered: "I will definitely do what you ask. Karina is young and ignorant, and sometimes she does wrong things. Please forgive her."
"Very good, that's right." Senat nodded, and his face changed into a fatherly look. He helped Karina up, then comforted her softly and said, "I was also very angry just now. A little, but this is also for your sake. You have to know that although it is a big deal, we can't abandon our loyal subordinates casually. What I hate is not your sneak attack on Ryan, but You sent out men without even a plan.”
"I understand, I will never do this again."
"If we want to restore the glory of our ancestors and re-establish an empire that has been passed down for thousands of years, we must rely on thousands of loyal warriors. Without them, we are nothing, so we must keep this in mind at all times. , they are our swords, our most convenient weapons, but as a master, we will never give up the weapons in our hands easily."
"Okay, let's go down and get some treatment." Senat waved his hand, as if talking to an unrelated person: "I'll give you 3 months. I hope to hear good news. After the child is born, If it’s a boy, Steven is at your mercy.”
Karina bowed respectfully to Senat, stepped back more than ten steps, then turned around and walked towards the door. When Karina walked to the door, Senat suddenly He said to himself: "It's better to throw away those toys of yours."
These words made Karina tremble all over, but her face always remained submissive, without any strange changes at all, and her walking pace was hardly affected, and she just walked out of the room,
After Karina walked out of the room, she saw several handsome men being held down and kneeling in the yard by Senat's guards. The men's lower bodies were all a bloody mess. Karina's expression tightened and she glanced She could tell that these handsome men were her most trusted faces. Obviously, this was the meaning of Senat's last words.
Karina knew that Senat had many illegitimate children, and she was just lucky enough to marry Steven through a political marriage, and then became the director of the Free Paradise area. However, now Senat is very fond of Karina. Dissatisfied, once Karina loses this position, she is likely to be even worse than the men in front of her. For women, Senat's men have more means to humiliate women. They are only loyal to Senat. As long as Sai Nat Nat gave the order, even their own parents would not hesitate to take action.
But Karina pretended to be nonchalant and walked straight past her faces, ignoring the pleading eyes of those faces. Maybe they had a good time last night and were inseparable from each other, but at this moment, Carina Rena regarded them as passers-by,
"I can't lose everything I have now, and I absolutely can't repeat my mother's fate. I will take revenge for all this, but I have to wait until I get the corresponding strength. Before that, I will compromise and I will definitely be able to endure it. Do anything that will help me gain power, including doing shit like that with Steven."
Karina walked out of Senat's villa, her steps were so firm, just like the belief in her heart,
"Master, this is the specific situation of the loss of a surprise attack plan in Seawind City. As the executor of the entire plan, I should take full responsibility for the failure of the plan. Please punish me." Raphael knelt on the ground and said loudly: "I Willing to take any punishment, including my life."
"Get up." Senat helped Raphael up and said with a kind expression: "The main reason for this failure is that bastard Ryan. If it weren't for him, maybe our adventure would have been successful." Senat It seems that the failure of Seawind City is attributed to Ryan's intervention, and it seems that he does not intend to punish Raphael, but Raphael knows that his master will not let him go lightly. His failure this time just gave Sai This is a good opportunity for Nat to weaken his own power, and this is also Raphael's only chance to survive. At least until the "Soul Eater" killer organization controlled by Raphael is not truly handed over, his life will not be in danger.
"Of course, you also know my rules. If your subordinates don't do things well, they must be punished, otherwise it will be difficult to restrain everyone." Senat's words changed, and he started to investigate as Raphael imagined. Responsibility comes: "Let me see it this way. This surprise attack on Seawind City has caused a lot of losses. Our strength in the east needs to be replenished. You can select a group of newly trained people from the Soul Eaters under you and divide them into several mercenaries." Let’s register the group and use it to make up for this loss.”
"Yes, Master." Raphael had already thought of a countermeasure before coming to Senat's villa, so he readily agreed to Senat's order, which obviously weakened his own strength.
For Karina, everything she has is given by Senat, so Senat will use it to threaten her. If Karina is even slightly dissatisfied, Senat can completely replace Karina. , an illegitimate daughter with her own blood, I’m afraid Senat can take out dozens of them at a time,
Raphael's identity is completely different. His power was inherited from his ancestors, the guards of Senat's ancestors. It can be said that after so many years, it is almost impossible for others to intervene. The soul belongs to Raphael's organization, so Senat can only use it as a favor. After all, Senat can't do those dark and evil things himself. There must be a killing knife, but this knife must Knock it from time to time to prevent it from accidentally cutting its owner.
When Senat saw that Raphael agreed without hesitation, he was naturally very happy. This showed that Raphael was still loyal to him. Maybe he sometimes exercised power, but this also showed that Raphael was still loyal to him. Ability, at least in Senat's view, a man's strength is directly proportional to his desire for power.
"Well, this way there will be no gaps in our defense line." Senat said: "If Karina can integrate the power of Free Paradise and make use of all the resources left by Steven's ancestors, we can definitely Infiltrating into Free Paradise, at least when we go north to attack the imperial capital, Free Paradise is completely neutral as it says."
"Yes, Master, we can definitely defeat the Imperial Capital and rebuild the great Morol Empire."
"Yes, the final victory must belong to us." Senat seemed to be in a good mood. He began to loudly preach about how vast the territory of the Morol Empire established by his ancestors was, how large the population was, and how powerful the army was. How powerful and how huge the wealth is. After Senat talked eloquently for almost an hour, he suddenly turned the topic to Raphael.
"Raphael, you are a descendant of my ancestors' guards. I believe you can help me rebuild the empire. My ancestors once personally trained the army and commanded them to win one victory after another. I think I am no exception. I will personally train and command your men and turn them into the most elite force possible."
"As you wish, my Majesty." Raphael had already been mentally prepared for Senat's words. He lost no time in flattering him: "Long live the Morol Empire, Your Majesty Senat." Long live."
With a smile on his face, Senat seemed to see himself standing on the high viewing platform, receiving cheers from the people and the army.
