Walking down the deserted street, the night wind blew away the smell of alcohol from Posey's body.

A familiar figure rushed to him, and the person who came was Posey's subordinate, a security policeman. Although Posey's official position in the new regime is not high, there are still a group of people under him who obey him.

Most of them were born as ruffians and hooligans, and they were very fond of Percy's methods of both grace and power, and were submissive to Percie.

"Sir, we've got some new faces on our turf. "They live in old Schroeder's house." ”

Schroeder Sr. was a loan shark, but unfortunately he offended the Tulip Democrats and was thrown into prison, and his property and house were confiscated. As far as Percy knew, the house had not yet been auctioned, and the people who could live in it in a grand manner were at least not ordinary people.

"It's nothing. Percy didn't care.

"But I recognized one of them, it was my neighbor many years ago. Even after many years, I recognized him at a glance, because he and his drunkard father were carved out of the same mold. "He was less than eight years old when he disappeared. ”

Percy hesitated: "This is the same as the sensational missing child case a few years ago?"

"I don't dare say it's the same. "Not to mention that my childhood friend was a bloodthirsty man." But since the children's case came to light, I can't help but think so. ”

Percy took out a bag of money from his pocket and stuffed it into his hands: "You go find a girl to relax first, maybe you think too much." ”

"Thank you, sir. The chief has always been generous, and this bag of gold coins is enough to squander it for a while, and his face is excited, "However, I still think that house is suspicious. ”

"Don't think about it, go ahead. Percy impatiently sent his men away.

But his heart was alarmed.

At this time, it was already about ten o'clock in the evening, and Percy deliberately turned around to the house that his subordinates were talking about, and the house was pitch black and terrifying.

A carriage slowly stopped at the gate of the courtyard, and a slender and athletic man got out of the carriage.

Percy walked past the carriage as if nothing had happened, but at a glance he almost cried out as if he had been struck in the heart.

Walking a long way, Posey leaned against the wall in the corner of the road and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Damn!" Percy cursed under his breath.

......

In the First Prison of the Holy City, Count Koval was hungry.

Compared to the starvation and stench of the cell, the mental torture and pessimistic expectations of the future terrified Count Coval.

With him were many nobles who were imprisoned, some of whom were taken away and never returned, who were once the heroes of the world, but now they were nothing more than meat on the chopping block of the nouveau riche.

With a clang, the heavy iron door of the cell was opened, and a ray of light could be cast through the open iron door, bringing a glimmer of light to the perennially dark and damp cell.

A man walked into the cell, and when he removed his wide-brimmed hat, Koval jumped into the corner like a rabbit.

"You...... You...... It's ......"

Koval pointed incredulously at the visitor, his face full of fear and shock.

The visitor covered his nostrils in disgust and said with a smile: "This is by no means a place where an earl should be. ”

"Devil, no, come on!" Koval roared with all his might.

"Lord Earl, you better save some effort. The person who came said unscrupulously, "Even if you break your throat, no one will ask." By the way, I, Bieber Lincoln, no, my name is Bieber Thompson now, was one of the five judges appointed by the Liberty Commission to try political prisoners, and this prison is under my jurisdiction. ”

The man who came was Bieber Lincoln, a former aristocrat who had long disappeared from public view, whose name represented evil in Genoa. He became a big man in the new regime with great grandeur, which shows that his methods are extremely clever.

When Bieber-Lincoln puts on his top hat again, his face changes again, to the appearance of a serious-looking scholar who is not unashamed of his bookishness, the formal face of his new identity as he walks among the nouveau riche of the Holy City.

But Koval was already frightened, and shuddered at the thought of the evil crimes Lincoln had committed.

Lincoln was pleased with the result.

"Earl, I miss my hometown so much, and I'm sure you can relate to your current situation. Lincoln said.

"Do you dare to go back?" rebuked Count Koval.

Before he became a member of the aristocratic council, Lincoln was a frequent visitor to the Koval family, and the Earl was very interested in this erudite young man.

"Of course, someone wouldn't welcome me back. Lincoln nodded and admitted, "I don't care about anyone but him." I have to admit that for the first time in my life, I looked away from someone. ”

"Bieber, you are here to say this?" said Count Koval hesitantly, "I wonder if you are demonstrating or showing your unwillingness?"

"Haha, you don't have to be sarcastic about me. I've always been conceited, but that doesn't mean I don't respect my opponents. Lincoln said, "I used to think of Sean as my friend, and I guess so did him, and that's kind of a pity." But this will not change my position, and all those who stand in my way will pay the price of death. ”

"If you want to deal with Sean, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you. "Not even the Salamans. ”

"Tiger of Europa? Look at how the newspapers boast about his military exploits. "The savior you hoped for is now in a close agreement with the Tulip Party, and he may have forgotten that you exist." ”

Lincoln tossed a few copies to them, and Count Koval grabbed them hungrily to read them.

The newspapers trumpeted Sean's exploits as the savior of Europa, revealing between the lines that Sean Connery was a supporter of the new regime.

Count Koval wasn't surprised, he just couldn't guess what Lincoln meant.

However, he seems to understand that the Tulip Party has not really done him any favor, presumably because Sean has grown into a political force to be reckoned with, especially since he has an army in his hands.

"Well, you have seen what has happened to me now, do you want me to kneel at the feet of your devil and cry and beg for mercy?" said Count Koval sarcastically.

"No, no, I just want to make a deal with you, that's all. Lincoln shook his head.

"What do you want?" asked Count Koval.

"I want to see him ruined. Lincoln said.

"Sean has nothing to blame, is it because he hooked up with a widow? Well, I almost forgot, from that point of view, he is still your rival. Count Koval scoffed.

"It seems that the noble Earl is a little tired of the monotony of life here. Lincoln said lightly, "I need someone to loosen your bones." It just so happens that this is a complete set of equipment, and I think the Earl will not be disappointed. ”

Koval put away his smile and exclaimed, "You can't do that. ”

"No, it's just a dessert before we make the deal. Lincoln turned away.

A few minutes later, a group of jailers broke into the cell, and Count Koval was thrown into the execution cell.

Soon, there was a hoarse and painful cry from the torture chamber.
