Although the Royal Rose Hotel Chicago has a lofty name, it not only has nothing to do with "Royal", but even "big" is not at all. It's just a modest medium-sized hotel. Generally speaking, the more inconspicuous things are, the more they like to pull a large flag.

However, the Royal Rose Hotel Chicago still has an advantage, that is, it is close to the grain futures market, so the business here is still very good. Relying on the futures market, there is always a lot of people coming and going, and there is never a shortage of customers, and of course this is the location of Avery Cabal's cabal, because hiding a drop of water in the sea is the best way to hide.

Avery walked into a room on the second floor of the Royal Rose Hotel. Here's where they connect. There were already several people waiting for him in the room now.

Seeing Ellie come in, the others all nodded at her. Avery walked in, and Brontë, who was behind her, closed the door.

"Everyone has arrived, right?" Avery asked.

"It's all here."

"Alright, then let's keep each other informed of what we've learned and what we're preparing." "We got Mr. Stanford's help in San Francisco and we were able to find someone who had the opportunity to assassinate him directly. ”

"What kind of person is it?" "Is it reliable?" All sorts of questions rang out.

"For now, it should be reliable." "This man is a trainee in a training course. I will soon participate in the middle level training of the MacDonald Consortium. From him we can know exactly when Scrooge arrived. And we also got the status of a journalist, which allowed our people to get in touch with him and get the news back. At the same time, we can also hand over key items to him. How's it going over there? ”

"We bought a house with a yard a little over a kilometre from the McDonald Consortium Staff Training Center. The house is in good condition, and the yard of about 200 square meters can easily accommodate the three 70mm infantry guns we sent over. The walls of the courtyard were high enough to block the view from the outside, but not to obstruct the ballistics of the artillery. ”

"Good, but how is the cover-up on the outside? You won't be noticed, will you? Avery asked.

"We dressed up the store as a pù shop that sold smuggled rum. This way we can send rum in and out through guò, and get the artillery and shells safely in. Didn't go unnoticed by anyone. ”

"Yay. Now let's discuss the relevant solutions. "Here's what we've gathered about Scrooge's speaking activities at previous training classes." You can take a look. ”

……

"Based on what we've learned about the previous years, the process for Scrooge to speak at the McDonald Consortium Employee Training Center is basically finalized. Usually Scrooge will appear at the closing ceremony of the course. The location is in the auditorium. My idea was that I had our men put a camouflaged time, time, bomb, bomb on the podium at a distance from Scrooge. What do you think is better disguised as this explosive? Avery asked.

"This camouflage bomb must be able to get close to Scrooge. And it should be a little bigger, and it can hold more explosives. One person said.

"Look, how about a boiling water bottle? Judging from the information, the people who served as waiters at graduation ceremonies over the years are all cadets. If that guy has to be positive, he has a good chance of getting such a position. We had the student put a boiling water bottle on Scrooge's podium, and this boiling water bottle was specially made, and we filled it with explosives where it was supposed to be a vacuum. This can be loaded with at least 200 grams of explosives. So many explosives exploding on the podium will definitely send that hypocrite to hell! Another said.

"Let the people in that house stare through binoculars, and if there is an explosion, immediately come a rapid fire towards the auditorium, and fire ten shells from each of the three cannons, so that after thirty shells are covered, I don't believe that he is not dead!" Another person said.

"What if that student of ours doesn't get a place in the service?" Someone asked

"Then we had to ask him to bring a big school bag and fill it with more than ten kilograms of explosives in one go. Then let him find a way to sit in the front row. The front row is also only a few meters away from the podium, at such a distance. That's enough explosives to kill this hypocrite......"

……

As always, even in the training class, Arnold was extraordinarily active, arriving early every morning, volunteering to help with cleaning, leaving late at night, and helping the staff tidy up the classroom before leaving. Soon, the month-long training was coming to an end.

"Tomorrow our closing ceremony will be held in the auditorium, and Mr. Scrooge MacDonald, President of the Foundation, will be speaking in person. You even had the opportunity to shake hands with the president and get his signature. In the last class, the teacher of the training class told the students.

"What time is tomorrow?" Someone asked.

"At nine o'clock in the morning, the president has always been very punctual." The teacher replied, "Also, we need some people to help with some service work." For example, pouring water for the president or something. Arnold, Shet, and Villapan, are you willing to take on this responsibility......"

……

"This boiling water bottle is a special timer, timer, bomb, and, you see, the mechanism that activates the timing system is here. After activation, the bomb will explode five minutes later. Once you've activated this mechanism, go up and pour water for Scrooge. After pouring the water, he placed the water bottle next to the podium near Scrooge. Then, you find an excuse to leave the scene. It can be very chaotic after an explosion. That's when you leave the training center and go to the place we've agreed upon, you know? ”

Arnold lay on the bed, remembering what the men had said to him. He didn't know whether to trust them or not. He was worried that he would be killed by them if he succeeded. However, for the sake of Lisa, he had to take this risk.

Arnold lay down for a while, but he couldn't sleep, so he got up again, took the boiling water bottle and looked at it carefully. The water bottle is almost identical in appearance to that used in the training center. It's just that there's an inconspicuous spot on the handle that can be pulled in. Arnold knew that if he pulled it, ten minutes later, the boiling water bottle would explode violently, tearing the people in his vicinity to shreds......

……

The next morning, half past eight.

Parker was on the second floor, staring nervously through the window at the McDonald Consortium Employee Training Center through a telescope. At this time, a team of cars appeared in his sight.

At the head of the convoy were two trucks with a number of Blackwater's bodyguards standing on them, followed by a luxury version of the bus, then three limousines, and then a truck full of bodyguards.

When the method of assassinating Scrooge was first discussed, it was proposed to wait for the vehicles to appear and shoot them directly. But such a plan was quickly rejected, because it was said that the car in which Scrooge was riding was bulletproof, and unless the shell hit itself, shrapnel or anything could not penetrate the car at all. And how easy is it to get a direct hit from a shell? So the possibility of Scrooge's escape was too great, so this plan was rejected.

At this time, the door of the training center had already been opened, and the team did not stop at all, but drove directly in.

It was also at this time that three 70-mm infantry guns had been placed in the courtyard and the parameters were adjusted. Although there was no test shot, Parker believes they will definitely be able to start the Great Hall, after all, that target is much bigger and much bigger.

In the courtyard downstairs, several gunners were making final preparations, the ammunition boxes had been opened, the shells had been taken out, the fuses were loaded, and they were neatly placed next to the infantry guns, so as to ensure that once the fire was fired, all the shells could be fired as quickly as possible.

……

At nine o'clock, Scrooge walked onto the podium with heavy steps. Yesterday Dorothea had another nightmare, so at her insistence, Scrooge had to put on a thickened bulletproof vest under his suit, and the bulletproof vest weighing twenty kilograms weighed Scrooge almost out of breath. However, it was still necessary to speak, and it was not enough for the students to show their fatigue.

"It's great to meet you here...... Scrooge said......

Although what Scrooge said was actually just some clichés, some chicken soup for the soul that deceived the dead and did not accompany their lives. But you have to admit that the same words, from different people's mouths, the effect is completely different. For example, if on the Internet, there is a strange grandfather who died at the age of five accusing you of being a stupid hat, it is nothing terrible. But if in reality, your immediate boss says you're a stupid hatter, then you're really in trouble. A certain star shouted from the stage downward, "I love you guys!" There was a cheer from below. If you shout in the street, "I love you!" "It is estimated that some enthusiastic people are going to call Aoyama Psychiatric Hospital.

Those obviously deceitful and bullshit chicken soup for the soul were said by legendary figures like Scrooge, but they made the students below fascinated one by one. While being brainwashed, they intend to follow Scrooge's example and work hard to realize the value of life, and of course, make Scrooge richer by the way.

After more than ten minutes of speaking, Scrooge was a little thirsty, and he took a sip from the cup in front of him, and then placed the cup on the thick mahogany tabletop. At this time, a student hurriedly ran up with a boiling water bottle and poured a full glass of water into the cup. Then he put the boiling water bottle next to the table and retreated. Scrooge noticed that the student's face was red and his hands were shaking.
