The blood samples from the Silver Hand were taken for testing in the end, but Paul just said that he didn't lack the caution he should have. In the afternoon, the report came out. Compared with the previous results from Sauron's hair, the DNA matching rate of the two reached 100%, almost identical. Looking at such a report, Paul fell silent.
The previous speculation has now become a reality, which means that the silver-haired man has plans to take over the entire city of Rome by using Sauron's genes. This kind of thing, not to mention that Paul can't tolerate it, the rich and nobles including Mendriza can't just sit back and watch this happen. If you say that you supported Sauron in the past, it was only for profit. But if Gaia is allowed to be the emperor behind the scenes of Rome, then they are no different from pigs and sheep raised in captivity.
But before Paul had time to figure out what to do, another shocking news came from the Vatican. Sauron personally ordered that all property of the Mendriza family be confiscated immediately. This time it was even more extreme than the treatment of Joseph's family. There was no excuse in the order, and some were just naked deprivation!
However, with Zero’s previous warning, Mendrisa rationally chose patience and silence. He gave up resistance, and an army appointed by Sauron entered the family manor in the western suburbs of Rome to freeze and transfer all assets under his name.
The officer in charge of carrying out this order looked bitter when he saw Mendrisa, and wanted to say something, but Mendrisa waved his hand and said: "Execute your order."
The officer lowered his voice and said, "Your Excellency, such an order is very inappropriate. Otherwise..."
"Don't say anything. As long as it is Lord Sauron's order, you should carry it out to the end." Mendrisa glanced at the two silver hands who were in charge of supervision at the gate of the manor. Thunder kills.
Now is not the time for conflict.
However, in the process, some small conflicts still occurred. Several young people from the Kalkie family were unwilling to be deprived of their property, and had a dispute with the soldiers who were in charge of counting the property on the spot. One of them also drew a pistol, but before he could make a move, there was a gunshot. The young man was shot in the forehead and lay on the ground with his eyes wide open.
It was none other than Mendriza who fired the shot. He looked at his people and said in a deep voice, "Who dares to disobey the order, this will be the end!"
That young man was his nephew, but if Mendriza didn't kill him, the two silver hands at the door would have shown their aura. Once they get involved, not only a nephew will die, but the whole family will suffer.
It was not until evening that the Mendriza family was able to leave. All of them wore only simple clothes, and in one day they were reduced from rich and noble families to civilians. Many people had expressions of grief and indignation, and some women even cried. Leaving this manor not only means that they will not be destined to be nobles in the future, but also means that their past glory and dignity will be ruthlessly trampled on.
But Mendriza didn't say a word, and even if other people had opinions, they could only hide them in their hearts.
Outside the manor, the Odson family who heard the news had already sent someone to pick up Mendriza. He and several immediate family members will temporarily live in the Odson family, while other families will be scattered in Rome, where several branches of the Calchi family will take care of them.
The destruction of Joseph's family and the fall of the Calki family. Of the three big families in the past, only the Odson family is still supporting it alone, but everyone knows that as long as the Pope gives an order, the Odson family may disappear at any time.
He took a deep look at the manor under the night, and the family crest on the gate of the manor. Mendriza shook hands hard, took the shame to heart, and vowed to pay it back a hundredfold. Then he sat in the Odson family's car, allowing the door to isolate the two worlds inside and outside.
In the car, Root, the patriarch of the Odson family, was sitting with his eyes closed. Root is already sixty years old, and the patriarch originally planned to step down this year and be handed over to his son Carlomon to succeed him. But in the battle of Roaring Bay, Carlomon died in battle, and old Root had to stay in this position.
Mendriza sat down, and Old Root opened his eyes and said, "Perhaps, we can't continue to be silent."
"what do you mean?"
"While we still have a little strength to resist, it is best to let the lord in the Pope Hall feel our will. The destruction of Joseph's family is already an extremely serious matter. Now, even your Kalkie family has been deprived of the title. and property are even more outrageous. I even suspect that tomorrow morning, maybe I will become like you." Old Root said: "I am old, it doesn't matter what I do. But I can't let my The clansmen... let me fish you!"
Mendriza sighed: "Come with me to see His Highness the Pope, and... that gentleman. But old Lute, I have to remind you that the overall situation is the most important thing."
Old Root smiled: "One Carlomon is not worth the entire Odson family. Don't worry, I know the seriousness of this matter. Besides, now, do you think I have other choices?"
"So much the better."
Under the calculation of the holographic panel above the city of Rome, the city entered the night. The Black Blood Bar was not as brightly lit as usual, it looked a bit dim, and there were some customers sitting in twos and threes in the corner of the bar. Or bow your head and get drunk, or whisper to each other. A series of recent changes in the city of Rome, first Joseph's family was wiped out, then Mendriza confiscated property, who knows what Sauron will do next. Even if the three giants are like this, they, the people of mole crickets, are still living and killing.
"I really hope that the Sea God Group will call over soon." A half-drunk man said suddenly.
His companion hastily covered his mouth, and said in a low voice, "Are you dying? How dare you say such things."
Several drinkers nearby heard it, but they all pretended not to hear it. Today's Rome city is already in turmoil, and Sauron's attack has intensified. As the drunk man said, instead, the so-called rebels came to fight, anyway, the situation couldn't be worse. What's more, I heard that the life of the people in Rock City is pretty good, at least there is no need to be afraid of what new orders will come down the next day like staying in Rome.
In Rome today, people are panicking.
Just below the Black Blood Bar, in Mendriza's secret stronghold. The small room was packed with people, not only Ling was here today, but even old members of the Knights such as Black Wing and Yafidi also gathered together. Mendriza was also taken aback when he opened the door with Root.
Paul stood up first, and said to Mendriza: "I didn't expect him to do it so soon. I discussed with Zero just now, and I think that person will make big moves in the future. And these actions should be aimed at It's related to some kind of biochemical experiment."
"Because he is accumulating money on a large scale in the name of Sauron?" Mendrisa is also a wise man. When he collected the income and expenditure list of the Pope Hall according to the zero theory, he found that most of the expenses were used to acquire certain biological experiments. Special materials required. Combined with the actions of the person in the pope's hall, his purpose is already obvious.
"Let me introduce to you, this is Lute, the patriarch of the Odson family..." Mendrisa looked at Zero: "It is also Carlomon's father."
Looking at the old man with complicated eyes, he stood up, stretched out his hand and said, "Captain Caromon is a brave warrior, even at the last moment, he has never fallen into the prestige of the Legion Commander!"
Old Lute trembled all over, stretched out his hand to hold Zero, and simply said: "Thank you."
"Maybe let's get straight to the point, because of the different positions that day. We were indeed unhappy with Mr. Zero. It can be said that Habes and Carlomon died indirectly at the hands of Mr. Zero. But on the battlefield, casualties are inevitable. Now we are standing on the same page. Front, I hope that there will be no more grievances between each other, so as not to affect everyone's cooperation. I hereby announce that the hatred of Habes has passed. What is here now is not a father who remembers his son, but for the recovery The patriots of the city of Rome." Mendriza said, and looked at Root.
Root closed his eyes, trembling slightly. It took a long time before he said: "If Carlomon were here, he would not want to see a father who disregarded the overall situation for the sake of personal hatred. So, I agree with Mendriza."
"This is really great." Paul said sincerely, he was still worried about the enmity between Zero and Mendriza at first. After all, Habes and Carlomon, who were regarded as the heirs of the family, both died at the hands of Zero. Fortunately, Gaia broke the bottom line between the rich and powerful, trampled on their principles and dignity, and instead forced them to lean towards the other side of zero.
Compared with personal enmity, it is obvious that the family is more important than a son. This is the driving force for the Mendriza family and Zero to resolve their hatred.
"I won't say anything superfluous. In short, since the person in the Pope's hall is eager to conduct some kind of experiment, then this will definitely not be a good thing. Therefore, His Highness, it is time to start a revolution." Paul said calmly.
Paul nodded and said: "I will contact some officers of the Knights. Since the return of the Rock City, the army is still under the management of Sauron in name. But Sauron ignored them and even left them idle. People feel cold. They still trust me more now. In addition to the events of the past few days, some people in the Knights have revealed to me their uneasiness and anger."
"In this regard, Old Root and I can also help. After all, our two families still have connections in the military. And some collaterals of the Joseph family are also eager to avenge their family. How about it, the collaterals of the Joseph family The members of the department will be contacted by me, and the old Lute will be in charge of some other people in the army." Mendriza suggested.
Old Root had no objection to this proposal.
Zero nodded and said: "Then let's study how to deal with those Silver Hands, high-level, naturally we have to deal with it."
The matter was settled in this way, Paul and others left, while Zero and the others remained in the room. He asked Yeliu to come out and tell everyone about the battle with the three genetic warriors on Victoria Island that day. Ye Liu nodded, and cooperated with Haiwei, with Haiwei holding back the two genetic warriors first, while she gave priority to solving one. Then he went back and briefly explained the process of defeating the three of them one by one.
Yeliu emphasized: "These so-called genetic fighters do have a strength level of the ninth level. But fighting is another matter. They give me the feeling that they are mechanical and precise. But here is very unsightly..."
The girl nodded her head: "Three idiots who can only fight according to the procedure, it will only take some time to kill them."
"In other words, they just don't have enough combat experience. They also lack adaptability. If they are at the same level, such as Feng and Su, you guys, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with them. But they are at the ninth level after all, and they are just suppressed by their ranks." , and cannot be ignored." Zero took a piece of paper and wrote down everyone's names. Then circle the names of Su, Feng and Yeliu and say: "Feng and Yeliu, each deal with a Silver Hand, should be able to end the battle within 10 minutes."
"10 minutes... that's too much, head." Feng chuckled and said, "If I use all my strength, it's pretty amazing that the wooden guy can survive for 1 minute."
Zero nod, others disagree. Of course, with Feng's superficial strength as a ninth-rank great swordsman, such a statement would indeed be considered bragging. But Zero knew that if the restrictions were lifted and the ability of the Hand of God was used, a Silver Hand would not be enough.
So he made a new adjustment, marked the number "2" on the names of Su and Feng, and said: "Then, you and Su will each deal with two silver hands."
This is the number of kills allocated by the three ninth-tier members on the side. Only the three of them have divided five silver hands. Next, the next level masters are Black Wing, Yafidi, Mamelo and Mr. X. As for Cinderella, she is also at the ninth level, but her ability will be greatly reduced in this mountainside environment. If it's at sea, Cinderella's full strength is infinitely close to the tenth level. But in the belly of the mountain, Zero only classified her as an ordinary eighth order.
Of course, even at the eighth level, they are slightly stronger than Black Wing and the others.
The five of them were assigned three Silver Hands. Zero didn't want them to fight alone, but to cooperate with each other and use the Silver Hand's lack of combat experience and resilience to defeat them. Speaking of cooperation, the old colleagues Mamelo and Mr. X cooperated quite tacitly during the Battle of Rock City. Black Wing and Yafidi are another pair of candidates for cooperation. These two are calm and calm, and they should be no problem to cooperate with.
In the last Cinderella, she doesn't need to kill the enemy, as long as she can hold back one person, wait for any of the other two pairs to complete the goal first, and then return to assist her, then she can successfully complete the task.
According to the information Paul gave, there are ten people in the Silver Hand. In this way, of course, the remaining two Silver Hands were handed over to Zero to greet him.
So everyone's goals and tasks have been finalized, and the next step is to wait for Paul and the others to set the date of action. Zero knew that it would not be too long, and within three days at the latest, the city of Rome would set off the biggest revolutionary storm in history.
After leaving the stronghold, Zero and Cinderella returned to a house that Mendrisa had arranged for the two of them. The house was originally a dwelling, and it is only one street away from the poor area of Rome. Dirty and messy, dragons and snakes are synonymous with this place, and even soldiers of the Knights rarely come here. Therefore, they live here, and the chance of being discovered is very low.
What's more, there is Mendrisa covering for them. Although they are no longer a wealthy family, their connections and prestige will still be there for a while, and it is not a problem to cover up the existence of a few people.
Zero stood on the balcony, looking in the direction of the Pope's Hall. Over there, he could faintly feel a mass of deep darkness like a black hole. That mass of darkness is like a swamp that swallows everything within its reach. And in the very center of the darkness, Zero knew Gaia was there and knew he was already in the city.
So Mendriza's cover is actually dispensable, because the real owner of the pope's hall is now Gaia, not Sauron. If Gaia wants to kill him, Ling will be attacked as soon as he enters the city that day.
But Gaia didn't move, which made Ling even more worried, because he couldn't figure out what that man wanted to do
The unknown is the most worrisome, and zero is no exception.
"What are you thinking about?"
Cinderella's amazingly elastic body was pressed against her, and Zero could feel that her temperature was rising, and the secretion of hormones was intensifying, which is the expression of biological sexual desire. Sure enough, Cinderella pulled Zero back into the room, and then spun around under the dim light, so the clothes on her body were scattered all over the floor as if being untied by invisible hands, revealing a charming body.
Smiling, he pushed Zero to the bed, and Cinderella pressed on it. She skillfully undressed Zero's clothes, then kissed Zero's body and went all the way down. Soon, Zero entered a humid and warm place, and under Cinderella's strong body language, he could no longer be distracted by other things. So repression and being repressed were repeated in this attic until late at night, when the two of them lay exhausted on the bed, not even wanting to move a finger.
"Are you thinking about attacking the Pope's Hall?" Cinderella asked, putting her long legs on Zero's body and resting her head on his arms.
Zero gently flicked her hair with his hands, and said: "Actually, in the upcoming battle, what worries people is not those silver hands, but...that person."
"that person?"
"Yes, his name is Gaia. He... is very strong, very strong." Ling Zhongchong said: "So strong, even I am not sure of victory."
"... This is the first time I've heard you say that." Cinderella hugged him tightly and said, "It doesn't matter, if you can't win alone, there are all of us. You are not fighting alone."
"No..." Ling shook his head and said, "He's different from those other guys. How to put it, he is my mortal enemy. If I want to continue walking, I have to defeat him alone."
"Why do you have to do it yourself, don't you trust us?" Cinderella rode on Zero, holding his face and said.
Zero smiled wryly: "Because of my relationship with him, and I know that he will definitely not let people disturb this battle. Even if you want to intervene, he will have a way to throw you off the stage. Therefore, he is the one I must An opponent to deal with alone!"
