Chapter 672: The True Ruler of the Nation
"Are you kidding, old friend? He's a member of the Supreme Council of North America, and a respected master alchemist. If nothing else, Speaker Cosmo could end up as the next Speaker when he leaves office. How could such a high-ranking guy be co-opted by us?" the middle-aged man named Lucas shook his head, his eyes shining with silver.
There is no doubt that this is a sign of the baptism of heavenly blood, and it is said that only the most devout believers are eligible for such a reward when the "kingdom on earth" project is in full swing.
But now, at a small price, it can be obtained through the so-called "messenger of the Holy Kingdom", which shows that all pious beliefs are deceitful fools.
In the eyes of the truly powerful, there is nothing that cannot be exchanged as a bargaining chip, even if it is their own conscience.
"Don't be so pessimistic! Don't forget, he's different from the previous Supreme Council hospitals. First of all, he didn't grow up in the United States or Europe, but appeared out of thin air. Tell me, Wright, have you found any clues about the origin of this Mr. Zhang after all this long?" the young man with vampire blood asked with a smirk.
The former hurriedly responded: "I'm very sorry, no. So far, all we know is that he first appeared on the streets of New York, without even a pair of shorts on his body, but with a suspicious piece of parchment in his hand. And for the next month, he didn't show any supernatural powers, hiding in the restaurant of Catherine, the witch of desire, and worked as a dishwasher for a month. ”
"Sounds suspicious! It's hard for me to imagine that a wizard and alchemist with powerful mana would willingly work in the dark, and be a dirty, tired dishwasher. Another man in his forties and fifties tapped lightly on the table and pointed out the suspicions.
As we all know, when a person is accustomed to standing on a high place and enjoying various privileges and benefits, he often develops a terrible habit, which is often said as the saying goes, "from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift".
Especially an alchemist who can make a lot of money by doing anything, there is really no reason to brush greasy plates.
"In this regard, we found a black man with whom we had been in close contact with him, Brent. According to him, in just one month of working together, this Mr. Zhang has maintained a repulsive indifference, but it is interesting to note that Catherine, the witch of desire, seems to be very interested in him, often standing at the kitchen door to observe his every move. ”
As he spoke, Wright pulled out a series of photographs and testimonies from his file bag.
I have to say that his intelligence work has been done very well, and he has not attracted anyone's attention or vigilance from beginning to end.
Lucas took it and glanced at it about twice, touching his chin as if thinking about something, and after two or three minutes, he knocked on the table and said to himself: "If I remember correctly, Catherine the witch of desire escaped death by taking possession of the body of her offspring, so the girl who lived with the target, Elizabeth, was actually the new body that Catherine had prepared for herself." This means that he is likely to have fallen into the desire trap set by the former, and Elizabeth is one of his weaknesses. ”
"You're trying to threaten him with this, my old friend, aren't you crazy?" the young man with vampire blood pursed the corners of his lips and sneered disdainfully.
"No! not a threat! On the contrary, I hope we can show up as friends and saviors. As I believe you all should know, the desire that Catherine controls is a strong instinct-driven emotion that no one has been able to fully resist so far. So I suggest doing a little test to see if the two of them will be firmly attracted to each other. Lucas smiled and held up a finger to explain.
"I see! You're going to try to tempt one of them. But the problem is that Mr. Zhang seems to be quite self-disciplined and restrained, and it is too difficult to tempt him. The young girl is more susceptible to temptation, but are you sure it won't be counterproductive to send someone to tempt her?" another balding old man joined the conversation.
Lucas shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly: "Don't worry, as long as you grasp the scale and try to avoid all forms of physical contact, I don't think there should be any big problem." Anyway, it's a test to say, and if they're really attracted to each other, then we'll be able to get the answer and use it quickly. ”
"Well, there seems to be a little bit of practical value. But who should be sent? Knowing that this task is not insignificant, and at any moment it could be torn to pieces by an angry member of the Supreme Council. ”
"Since it was my idea, it's up to me to implement it. It just so happens that my grandson's grandson is currently in college in New York, and his intervention should not arouse too much suspicion. What's more, if there is any accident, he can also use his corpse to calm the anger of the other party. ”
With that, Lucas poured himself a glass of whiskey, raised his head and drank it all, his eyes flashing with endless ambition and desire, completely ignoring the lives of his offspring.
To be exact, even the youngest one was in his early 100s, and any of the old guys sitting in this little cottage were the descendants of the big men or big men who had made the United States of America tremble.
They and their families control the country in every way in order to enjoy power and longevity, and it would be better if they were to be on an equal footing with the Supreme Council.
"Hehe, you are still the same as before, you will always be so ruthless, I wish you success in advance. ”
"Me too!"
"May luck be with that poor little fellow!"
......
With a polite greeting, the old guys got up and got into their cars and disappeared at the end of the road.
After watching everyone leave, Lucas picked up the phone and sent a series of text messages containing numbers and letters.
About ten minutes later, a handsome young man driving a sports car on the streets of New York received a call from his father.
After the call, he immediately showed an extremely strange expression, turned to the model girlfriend who was sitting in the co-pilot and said, "I'm sorry, honey, I'm afraid we're going to separate." ”
"Separated? what do you mean!" the twenty-year-old girl did not realize what was happening, and there was a hint of consternation in her eyes.
"That's what it means! We're breaking up!" said the young man, pushing the car door and making a gesture of please.
"Shet, you're going to get me out of the car?now?!"
"I'm sorry! Believe me, it wasn't my intention, but sometimes you have to pay a little bit for what you want, and that's what I have to pay......"
The words just fell!
The young man stepped on the accelerator, completely ignoring the angry roar of his "ex" girlfriend, and drove straight in the direction of Brooklyn.
