Donald left with the box in his hand, and an attendant took him to the second-floor lobby where the reception was held.

Compared with the nervousness when he came, not only did he not relieve when he left, but his similar emotions deepened.

"Master Darren, the drinking party is about to start, is there anything you need to prepare in advance?"

The butler's voice sounded outside the door.

"There's nothing to prepare, you go ahead and get busy, and I'll go down on my own when the time comes." ”

It was his resignation reception, the last reception for the public to bid farewell to Dmingham's politics, and many thought he would save his reputation at the reception.

In his opinion, it is just a routine, and he just avoids the edge for the time being.

Open the drawer in front of him, take out a flat box the size of a palm, listen to the sound of the butler's departing footsteps, and take out the brass key he carried with him to open it.

Inside is a folded note, which is unfolded to reveal several names listed from top to bottom.

There were only about five of them, and three of them had their names crossed in black.

I picked up the pen on the table, unscrewed the cap, and the tip of the pen fell on the paper, but I didn't start writing immediately.

"Dare to face the dominant-level aliens, courage. ”

"Being able to kill the opponent with means, strength. ”

"In the face of the reward I offered, I still kept a clear head and self-control. ”

"After giving some hints by myself, I can quickly associate the meaning of the words, and my thinking is quick. ”

Mark Darren used to write in a tone that he could only hear in his own mind.

"Maybe a good candidate......"

The index finger and thumb seemed to press down, ready to write the man's name, but in the end they couldn't write it down, pursed their lips, and removed the pen from the paper, leaving only a black ink spot.

"In the past, when I lived in a religious district, I should have been forced to leave my hometown out of desperation, and my origin is unknown. ”

"It is not yet known what the civilian background and character will be. ”

"After all, it has not been tested for a long time...... Let's wait and see. ”

Fold the paper again, put it back in the wooden box and retract it into a drawer, get up with one hand on the desk, and leave the study.

On the other side, Donald handed the box in his hand to a waiter of the Darren family, indicating that it was given to him by His Excellency Mark Darren, and the waiter immediately said that he would ask a special guard to take care of it.

It's not nice to walk around with a suitcase.

However, Donald didn't know anyone here, so he didn't have anything to socialize with, and after glancing at the time, there was still half an hour before the joint, so he first walked around the banquet hall, and finally pretended to stop in front of a painting near the balcony and stop to admire.

In fact, he doesn't know how to appreciate these masterpieces that he doesn't know from which famous artist, and most of the time he is studying whether the gold frame next to it is real gold or gold-plated.

The champagne in his hand was just taken in his hand when he was wandering around, and he took one sip after another, and stopped when he was almost halfway through, and took out his pocket watch from time to time to glance at it.

Of course, he tried to do this action as concealed as possible, after all, it was easy to attract attention if he showed an impatient state of wanting to leave before the party even began.

The ensuing process didn't come as much of a surprise, opening with the appearance of Mark Darren, and despite all the rumors outside, everyone here showed enough respect for the deputy mayor who had served in Dmingham for decades.

The announcement of his resignation was also a top priority, and even Donald could only stand in the middle of the crowd, watching the old man on the stage speak, and involuntarily began to think about the conversation in the study before.

Mark Darren rewarded himself for taking out the Dominant, and as he said, he was an old man without any government position.

So why can he represent the government?

Help yourself cover up the news and remind yourself that there is something wrong with the Anomaly...... And what is this for?

His eyes stayed on Mark Darren's figure as he spoke, because he deliberately stood at the back of the crowd, and the corner of his eye occasionally swept over some of the people around him.

I don't know if it's a delusion, but Donald noticed that some people were always glancing to something else when Mark Darren was speaking, not focusing on something, but exchanging glances with someone in that direction.

It's not an unintentional eye contact, it's more like a wordless communication.

Once again, Donald had a hunch, or a hunch, that he had seen Tiffany Garcia suddenly appear to find Horn Shelley.

Today, Dmingham is gradually becoming a whirlpool, and his act of killing that dominant-level powerhouse seems to have brought him into this whirlpool, who was originally just a marginal figure.

This feeling of being out of control is bad.

And in Donald's solitary thoughts, before he knew it, Mark Darren's speech was nearing the end, and then it was time for free movement.

After glancing at the time, he found that there was only five minutes left before the joint time, so he hurriedly turned around and walked to the balcony, for fear that someone would occupy the place in advance.

It turned out that he was overthinking.

Although the second floor of the Darren family has ring-shaped floor-to-ceiling glass windows on the outside and many heaters inside, the temperature near the windowsill is still much lower than that inside because of the season, no one goes to the windowsill at this time.

Luckily, the weather was pretty good tonight, probably because it was cloudy for several days, and the moon looked particularly bright today.

Donald thought that if someone asked later, he would say that he was here to admire the moon.

Leaning against the side of the balcony with half a glass of champagne, Donald deliberately turned his body sideways into the room in order to let the connector see what he was holding.

His eyes wandered over the passers-by, and as the time approached, a man in a brown coat and an ordinary-looking person in the crowd walked slowly towards the balcony.

Sometimes the communication between people actually only needs one look, he walked towards Donald, the eyes of the two were just a momentary meeting, and each other's hearts were roughly bottomed.

"The harsh winter of Dmingham is coming......"

Sure enough, the two sides approached, and the other party directly said the code, Donald nodded, and the two walked onto the balcony.

"I thought it was going to be the vice president, but what happened?"

The connector, who was obviously from the Tree Garden as well, asked when he noticed that Donald was a fresh face.

"Originally, I was the vice president, and I happened to be invited, so His Excellency Williams entrusted me to complete the joint. ”

He put the tree garden emblem in his palm and showed it to the other person, who nodded in approval.

"The Bureau of Anomalies is going to do something to the tree garden in the near future!"

Now that his identity has been confirmed, the connector directly told Donald the information he has so far.

"What?"

As soon as he heard the news, Donald felt that the temperature around him was much lower at this moment, and he relied on self-control to suppress the absurdity that surged up in his heart.

Williams' fears have come true!

"Why do you want to do it to the Tree Garden all of a sudden?"

Donald was a little unable to understand this situation, it stands to reason that even if the government suspects Tree Garden, it should first investigate and decide on the next move, but now from the tone of the other party, it seems that he has not even done an ultimatum.

"I don't know, I just got the inside information, Dalton Wallen and Connery Owen have agreed that they are determined to attack the overseas archipelago where the tree garden is located in the near future, and you must go back and inform the president to evacuate our people as quickly as possible. ”

"The Director of the Investigation Bureau and the Chief of Police...... Now instead of going to the organization that attacked the new airship, and in turn it will do it to the people on your own side? What about the mayor, agreed?"

As a member of the Bureau of Anomalous Investigations, Donald himself did not feel any movement or receive any special orders.

In other words, this is a covert cooperation between the two major armed forces of Dmingham.

Even actions such as this level necessarily require the consent of the top leaders of the Dmingham government, and Donald wondered why such a decision could be passed so rashly.

You must know that the tree garden is not meat on the chopping board, it also has the ability to resist, although Lord Williams is not a dominant-level powerhouse, but he is also a wizard at the peak of awakening.

As mentioned before, wizards are different from other aliens, their abilities are not limited to their own talents, but also to the spell system extended by their own talents.

Just like Donald used to release fourth-level spells at the level of power level, he can also fight against the awakened-level powerhouse in the thunderstorm, if he is really desperate, who can guarantee that there will not be a lose-lose situation?

"Now it seems that this is indeed the case, the top of the Dmingham government has passed the gas, they seem to have decided that there is a problem inside the tree garden, you take this communication crystal, give it to the chairman as soon as possible, he will understand. ”

Sneaking a crystal into Donald's pocket, he turned his back and stopped talking.

Whatever the reason, now is not the time to look into the reasons behind it, let alone make any gestures of surrender.

There was only one path left for the tree garden, retreat.

Evacuate Dirmingham as quickly as possible!

Taking a sip of champagne in a toast, Donald no longer hesitated and strode away.

At this moment, the person who connected with him looked back in a certain direction behind him, and then his body was stunned, and he walked towards the staircase on the second floor without a trace.

All the way up, push open that door.

Donald had just come out of it not long ago.

"Your Excellency Darren, the message has been passed to the Tree Garden, do you have something to do with me?"

According to the plan, he was supposed to leave as soon as the message was delivered.

"It was the people from your tree who just spoke to you?"

Mark Darren didn't stay at the reception for long, and left under the pretext of being unwell.

"Yes, it's a fresh face, I haven't seen it before. ”

He wondered why the big man cared about someone who connected with him.

"Let's go down. ”

With a casual wave of his hand to let people retreat, Mark Darren supported his chin with his left hand and muttered in a low voice,

"I didn't expect this young man to have the identity of a tree garden...... It's different. ”
