"Of course you have to give us an explanation, Jack of Spades! So many resources were used just to hunt and kill a tenth-level kid. Moreover, this action itself has not been authorized by us, which is a serious violation of the rules. !” The female voice sternly condemned.
"Three brothers, please believe me, that is not an ordinary prey." The masked man said: "He is the grandson of Horn, the chief of Bethkind, and the son of the youngest daughter, Lanny. He was exiled on the surface half a year ago, and was sold by the Black Widow Hunting Group to a small surface businessman to replace his son in the death ring, thus gaining the opportunity to set foot on Babylon again."
"It was also because of the death ring that Horn was able to recognize him and bring him back to the family. According to my information, Horn has already announced Alan's identity among his direct blood relatives and family allies. If nothing unexpected, Horn will help this kid get into the line of succession, and not too low."
"So what?" The voice in the middle of the light screen said: "Will Horn have fewer heirs? Don't you want to hunt them down one by one? Also, Jack of Spades, I heard that you had some problems with Bethkind before." Unpleasant. Are you sure this is not using the resources of the Guangyin Society, but to meet some of your personal needs? For example, to fight against competitors?"
"There is absolutely no such thing!" Spade Jack denied: "I will make a judgment of hunting, and even bypass the normal procedures, and there is a reason why I directly launched an attack without the authorization of several people. In the death ring, Coincidentally, the committee assigned Hughton to mentor the teenager."
"Hughton? That crazy old alcoholic? It was definitely a mistake for him to refuse to join us back then. Look at him now, can his trembling hands design more than ten Rubik's Cube sequences?" The man in the light screen on the right laughed up.
"That's right, Hughton is not as good as before, and he can't even be reused by the Federation." Jack of Spades nodded his head and said: "But everyone, don't forget, he hasn't forgotten that knowledge. And using this knowledge, he helped Alan That child modified the usage restrictions of a magical weapon, which gave Alan another level of assistance."
"Well, even so, so what?"
"The problem is that Allen visited Hughton before he set off to hunt the black widow on the surface. Before that, I heard that Hughton was interested in teaching this child the knowledge of the Rubik's Cube sequence." Jack of Spades waved his fist , to emphasize the weight of his words: "Please imagine, if Beth Kede, a beast, masters the development of magic weapons, what kind of result will it be?"
"Beth Keld is not the only one who has mastered the ability to develop magical weapons. Besides, it's hard to say whether that young man has the talent in this area. If you want to launch an attack just for this, Jack of Spades, I can only think that you will do it." It's too much." The person in the middle of the light screen said: "From your explanation above, Jack of Spades, I think you still prefer personal reasons rather than the overall situation. Therefore, all follow-up related For work, you have to settle it yourself, will Guangyin lend you another resource? This is your problem, and if the same incident happens in the future, you should know what will happen."
"Remember, don't intervene too much. We are monitors in the dark, not fighters in the sun! Our tentacles are spread all over the star fields, aiming to balance everything in the dark to prevent or delay its arrival. If you put The rights we grant are used in
For personal interests, then unfortunately, we will erase all information about you. Don't forget, besides you as agent, the Earth Federation also has Q of Clubs and K of Hearts. You are not our only option. "
The meeting seemed to end here, and the sound wave lines in the three light screens returned to calm one by one. The masked man stood on the spot blankly, before saying for a long time: "What do you know? You call yourself monitors in vain, but have you seen the undercurrent of the general situation? Don't you just ignore Beth Keld's actions in recent years, yes, you also understand There are several other families that have the ability to develop magical weapons. But Bethkind cannot, once they have the ability to develop magical weapons, it is like putting a blade on a beast!"
"You all underestimated that old thing Horn, and the destructive power of this family. Now keep cutting its fangs, and it will be too late when it opens its teeth and claws!"
The eyes behind the mask are bloodshot, looking so crazy!
A door was pushed open, and the dust floating in the sun behind the door suddenly flew up, like dancing elves. Horn's eyes fell on a bed, which was stained with blood, and several family doctors and assistants were packing their things and leaving. ** A woman sits up, her body covered in bandages. The snow-white bandages were gradually stained red by the still oozing blood, just like the red maple leaves in autumn.
"How are you?" Horn asked.
The woman nodded and said, "It's nothing serious, master, it's just that I may not be able to perform the task in the near future."
"It's okay, you can take care of yourself."
"Master, please punish me." The woman raised her head: "I failed to protect Master Allen."
"It's okay, he is still alive and well. But you are still working so hard, obviously there are other ways..."
The woman let out a hoarse laugh: "But time didn't allow it at the time, but I didn't expect that Master Allen survived. That's a sixteenth-level killer."
"Perhaps Alan is still a little lucky. I heard that the killer was finally shot down by the goblin of the Mosen family." Horn said seriously: "Do you know the identity of the other party?"
"I don't know, it's a guy I've never seen before."
"I understand." Horn nodded and said, "Take good care of your injuries. I will give you a three-month vacation."
"I don't need to rest for so long, one month is enough."
"Anna..." Horn's eyes turned soft: "It's time to go home and see the child, shouldn't you?"
Leaving the room that smelled of disinfectant and blood, when Horn returned to his study, the butler, Hai Xin, had been waiting for a long time. As soon as Horn came in, the butler stepped forward and said, "Master, the attack has been handed over to the Security Department. Mr. Andrew just called to ask what you mean?"
"Let him figure it out." Horn sat down and asked, "How is Alan?"
"The young master has been treated in St. Mary's Hospital. He has 31 stab wounds in total, five of which are more serious injuries, but he is not life-threatening, but needs two operations. About a month later, To return to Ugal Fort."
"So, is there any news about the murderer?"
Haixin smiled and shook his head: "Mr. Andrew also said that the other party did a very clean job. The two deceased could not find any matching information in the federal gene bank, and the bodies have been destroyed. Now Mr. Andrew has started to investigate in the last month
The record of entering the island, hoping to find clues from it. "
Horn shook his head and said: "He couldn't find it. The opponent's hands and feet are so clean, so there will be no obvious flaws in this area. But when this kind of thing happens, we can't show it. Don't talk about being attacked. It's Allen, even if we are an ordinary family member, this matter can't be good. Mr. Hai Xin, please issue a commission between the hunting mission platform and the underground assassin organization. No matter how deep the mouse hides, put the underground tunnel It's all blocked, I'll see if you want to come up, hum!"
Seeing Horn getting ready to work, Hai Xin couldn't help but said, "Master, don't you want to go and see the young master?"
"I think, but I can't go. At least not right now." Horn raised his head and showed a rare wry smile: "Mr. Haixin, God knows how much I want to visit Alan now. I have lost Lan Ni, let alone Bear with losing Alan. But I am the patriarch of Bethkind first, the father of six children, and the grandfather of Alan in the end. At least I can’t lean too much on Alan before he shows his talent. At least not outwardly. That wouldn't be a good thing for him."
Haixin nodded, because in that case, Allen would only attract too many enemies before his wings were full. There has never been a shortage of geniuses in the history of the Federation, but high-profile geniuses always fall before he shines. Horn's move was precisely to avoid bringing too much attention to Allen.
"By the way, Mr. Haixin." Horn raised his head suddenly, and said calmly: "Go and check the recent income and expenditure of everyone in the clan. I hope that mouse will not be among us."
At that moment, a cold light flashed in Horn's eyes, and the killing intent like ice shards made Hai Xin feel cold all over.
Allen looked out the window, in the clean blue sky, a mana spaceship swept up, leaving a light blue light trail in the sky. He yawned and leaned down tiredly. He had just finished an operation, and more than 30 stab wounds on his upper body, hands and feet made him covered with bandages all over his body, looking like a newly unearthed mummy.
He is currently in the VIP ward of St. Mary's Hospital. The nearly 30-square-meter suite-style ward is very warmly decorated. The wooden floor on the ground is bright, and the "Mona Lisa" hanging on the wall soothes the patient's heart, even though it is just a fake. The lush green phoenix bamboos by the window are fluttering with the wind, while a string of wind chimes hanging on the window sill are colliding with melodious notes. All this is designed to make patients forget that they are in the hospital, so that the body and mind can relax.
Of course, its daily fee is definitely not low, at least that is an amount that Allen doesn't want to inquire about.
On the table next to the bed, the devil's praise is placed there. Not long ago, Adele used it to peel an apple, but the apple did not fall into Ellen's mouth, but fell into the stomach of Miss Motson's family. Looking at the dagger, Allen remembered the scene at that time. The dagger's uncanny abilities reappeared as he fought his way through the demonic salute and the killer.
Every time the killer's body was cut open, the dagger would suck up every drop of blood that fell on it. And Allen discovered that it not only absorbed blood, but also absorbed the killer's source power, which he hadn't noticed before.
Or, the Devil's Praise itself has such an ability. It's just that Alan had never used it to chop a person with source power before, so he didn't find out.
But in this way, the mystery about the devil's praise is even deeper!
