Chapter 681: Incitement
At noon the next day, the warm sunlight seemed to dispel the chaos and death that had erupted last night, and there was not the slightest tension in the streets of Boston, and not even the pervasive news media dared to report on the so-called "terrorist attack" in the suburbs, let alone the police who were all dispatched to talk about it.
As expected, when it comes to the privileged class behind the country, all bullshit democracy and freedom of speech are all in vain.
Eric Harrison's just one sentence made everyone in the know choose to shut up.
The government's only response was to issue a nondescript anti-terrorism arrest warrant and a few blurry photographs that were unrecognizable.
Sitting in a roadside café, Zhang Cheng drank hot cocoa while holding his mobile phone to browse the information sent by satellite, and finally smiled and muttered to himself: "The water depth is 4,680 meters, and the nearby waters have formed whirlpools and undercurrents of different sizes due to the relationship between ocean currents, and there are even more uneven reefs than they can count, no wonder no one has tried to salvage them for so many years." But that's okay, none of this is a problem for me. ”
Obviously, what he had just received was none other than the Spanish treasure ship that was about to be salvaged in the Atlantic.
However, judging from the navigation diaries and the hydrographic data recorded by submarines of various countries, the ships sunk that year were not just one, but nearly half of the fleet, more than eight of the most advanced Galen sail warships of that year, of which the value of gold, silver and other precious metals alone may exceed six billion US dollars, and the value of other jewelry and cultural relics cannot be measured by money.
In fact, when the storm came, most of the ships in the treasure fleet sank, and only the lightly armed escort ships survived.
Therefore, after the end of the Second World War, many countries and private individuals wanted to find and salvage these treasures that had sunk in the deep sea.
However, due to technical and environmental constraints, no one has dared to put it into action so far.
After all, the water depth of 4,680 meters is already an almost impassable chasm, coupled with whirlpools, undercurrents and complex reefs, the danger is simply self-evident, even with the world's best scientific research submarines, it is easy to have accidents.
The limits of technology are evident in the unfathomable ocean, but it's a different story when you add magic.
Just as Zhang Cheng was silently considering how to find the legendary gold mural, a man in a suit and black sunglasses walked in through the door.
But instead of sitting down to order a hot cup of coffee or hot cocoa like other guests, he went straight to the counter, lowered his voice and didn't know what to say to the boss, and handed over a check.
The latter was obviously taken aback by this sudden move, but when he looked at the numbers on the check, he immediately closed his mouth in surprise.
After muttering to each other for seven or eight minutes, the two sides finally signed their names on the contract in duplicate.
Then the owner of the café announced loudly to everyone that the place was owned by the middle-aged man with sunglasses, and he took the check and drove the car parked at the door away.
From the happy smile on his face, it was not difficult to see that he was very satisfied with the amount on the check.
Before the guests could react to what was happening, a group of guys in black suits poured into the café and invited customers out one by one, except for one person, Zhang Cheng, who was sitting in the corner.
After doing all this, they quietly guarded the front and rear entrances and exits, and at the same time paid a large amount of severance pay to all the staff, including the chef and the hostess.
After all the irrelevant personnel were gone, a dozen guys with magical energy cautiously walked in through the back door and sat down on the chairs next to the bar one by one.
Because no one spoke, there was an eerie atmosphere in the entire café.
After about six or seven minutes, a guy with a whole body wrapped in UV-blocking fiber material, including his face, came to the front alone and placed a note with his name written in blood on the table: "Dear Mr. Councillor, we have done what you asked, now please set the terms for negotiation." What are you going to do to let us go?"
"Half-vampires?!I don't understand, there are so many ways to prolong your life, but why did you choose the worst one? Zhang Cheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the other party in a little surprise.
"You see, in my lifetime, the North American continent was still in chaos, and the Supreme Council was not friendly to ordinary people, and even issued a notorious ban on intermarriage between the inhabitants of the underworld, believing that this would keep the bloodline pure and make future generations stronger and stronger. I didn't want to die, and I couldn't get help from other sources, so I had to accept an olive branch from the vampire. The guy with the black cloth on his face explained with a wry smile.
Zhang Cheng nodded thoughtfully, then pointed to the crowd near the bar and asked, "What about the others? How many of them have fallen to heaven and hell, and how many of them have colluded with some forces in the underworld?"
"No, Your Excellency, we have not fallen to anyone, and our relationship with Heaven and Hell is limited to an exchange of interests, not like those foolish believers who are willing to give everything. To put it simply, we are independent and everything we do is for ourselves. ”
"Yes, if we do fall to heaven and hell, do you think the North American earth will be as calm as it is now?"
"Please believe that we have no ill will towards the Supreme Council, and some of the small actions in private are only for self-protection, and have never touched any sensitive areas. ”
......
Suddenly, many people turned around to defend themselves, while others tried to win sympathy by selling miserably.
Appreciating the farce-like scene in front of him, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth, and said sarcastically in a mocking tone: "You think I'm looking for trouble on behalf of the Supreme Council? No! Fool! I'm here to discuss cooperation with you! Because unlike the antiques in the parliament that have lived for decades or hundreds of years, I am a young man who keeps pace with the times and understands the potential of science and technology." What's more, don't you think that the Supreme Council has held power for too long, and its thinking is so outdated that it is still stuck in the dark Middle Ages, and it has been a little out of step with the development of the times?"
Speaking of this, he deliberately paused for a moment, observing the reaction of everyone present, before standing up and raising his hands in the air to instigate: "That's right! Great change is coming! Whether it is the inhabitants of the underground world or the people of the ordinary world, there will be an unprecedented crisis, and it is also an opportunity. Now tell me, would you like to continue to live like a rat in the shadows, or would you like to work with me to start a revolution and take control of supremacy?"
