St. George's [Bloody Eye] Organization Headquarters, Conference Room 1

Located on the B7 basement floor of the Empire State Building, Conference Room 1 is a circular conference room. In the center of the conference room is a large round solid wood table, surrounded by chairs on both sides of the round table, and outside the core conference table, there is a circle of arc-shaped conference tables that expand outward and the matching chairs.

The ceiling of the conference room is carved with a snake that is connected to each other, and in the circle of the snake's body is a red pupil, staring at all corners of the conference room. This is the totem of the [Bloody Eye] organization, and the totem is equipped with a smart lighting system, so the totem itself emits red, white, and yellow light, which can meet the lighting needs of the meeting.

"Dah. Click. Da ......"

Footsteps came from outside the door of the conference room, and Victor, with a bit of anger, pushed open the door of the conference room, and saw two people sitting on the left and right sides of the round conference table - Laura and the senator.

The senator sat to the left of the round conference table, still wearing a faded sweater, hunched over with thick glasses, flipping through a thick book. Wearing a white professional attire, Laura sat on the right side of the round desk, wearing a headset, looking at the computer screen, listening to the assistant on the other end of the video report on the recent schedule and personnel changes in the Senate.

When the two men heard Victor's footsteps walking in, they both stopped what they were doing and looked up at him.

I saw the tall Victor, wearing a black suit and a coat draped over his shoulders, looking like the ruler in a classic gangster movie, stepping down the steps step by step, although he restrained his anger, but the corners of his mouth pressed down could not hide his displeasure at the moment.

Seeing this, Mrs. Lola turned off the computer, took off the wireless headphones, and looked at Victor who walked to the large round table: "Long time no see, Victor." ”

“…… Mrs. Lola, the business of the [Human Smuggling Group] doesn't seem to be doing well lately? Victor asked.

Mrs. Lola smiled faintly: "You know, those national security agencies will always launch some operations against human smuggling, although these 'guerrilla warfare' are insignificant, but it is not bad to commit crimes against the wind, otherwise, it will trouble you [Financial Affairs Group] to bribe some government executives, waste more money." ”

"Oh? So, are you considerate of us? I should thank you. ”

Although Victor said this, there was no trace of gratitude in his eyes or words.

Lola knew of his displeasure of course, but she didn't want to conflict with him at the moment, so she just smiled politely, lowered her head, and played with her diamond ring.

Victor turned to look at the patriarch on the side, he bowed his head slightly, and there was a little more respect in his eyes.

"Patriarch."

"Hmm." The patriarch replied without raising his head.

This wrinkled old man seems to be so calm at all times.

Victor's gaze fell on the book in the senator's hand, and he was looking down to flip through a copy of the French class's "Red and Black".

“Je viens de l 'enfer, je vais au paradis, je traverse le monde。” Victor looked at the book in his hand, "It's a good book, it's a pity that I only remember this sentence about this book." ”

"'I have come from hell and am going to heaven, and I am passing through the earth,' Stendhal wrote very well."

In the conference room, the voice of a fourth person sounded.

Victor looked up and saw a chair in front of the round table slowly turning, and Theo, looking at him with contempt.

(He's been here since the beginning?) ）

Victor's eyes narrowed, the disgust in his eyes a little heavier.

The people who have been fighting in the dark have finally opened the skylight to meet, the two of them are mortal enemies in the struggle at the center of the power vortex, and everyone is also a dark ghost, who can devour whom?

In this battle, the winner is destined to survive, and the loser is destined to die.

It's just a matter of time.

The two were silent for a long time, and Victor was the first to break the silence.

"Theo, I thought you would die in prison, but I didn't expect you to not only escape, but also seem to be doing well."

"It seems? Didn't the killers you sent to assassinate me tell you about me? Theo's eyes were filled with meaning, and he looked at Victor like a snake staring at its prey, as if trying to see through the secrets hidden in its prey's heart.

“…… I don't understand what you're saying. ”

"Those who understand will understand." Theo stood up from his chair and leaned slightly over to look at Victor on the other end of the table, "The Las Vegas casino money, have you recovered it?" ”

Victor remained silent.

"It seems that there is no ......," Theo paced, walking around the round table to the center of the room, "yes, after all, the heads of the four casinos have been stuffed into barrels, poured with cement, and thrown into the sea, how can you catch up with those 30 million dollars?" ”

He said terrible things lightly.

Victor couldn't help but be angry: "Theo, you kid dare to touch my person?!" ”

"Why don't you dare?" Theo looked directly at him with a menacing gaze, "You even dare to control the Pope, I just killed your men, what's the point?" ”

"I don't control the Pope."

"Yes...... Then why did you transfer the Pope from Sinai Hospital? ”

"It's not a place for the Pope to recuperate." Vic was particularly eye-opening.

"Forget it, Victor, the four people present now know that you are doing this to control the Pope, what is the saying in China?" Coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes', this is your purpose. ”

Theo gradually lost his previous calm and polite demeanor, and his expression became cold and stern.

This is who he really is.

"So what do you want to do? Cut off the capital chain of the [Financial Affairs Group] just to take revenge on me? Don't hesitate to ruin the entire [Bloody Eye]?! ”

"No, I just want you to see your pounds clearly - Victor, I'm going to pull you down, easily, even if you control the Pope now, do you really have that ability to sit in the Pope's position?"

“……”

"To put it bluntly, he's just a lackey of the Pope, what qualifications do you have to call the shots on his behalf?"

"Theo, you dog who wags his tail and begs for mercy and relies on the Pope's handouts to gain a foothold in the organization, are you embarrassed to say me?!"

The more the two talked, the stronger the smell of gunpowder became.

The patriarch grimaced and slammed the table with the copy of "Red and Black".

"Enough!"

Victor and Theo stopped their unpleasant "conversation" and looked at the senator.

The patriarch stood up in his chair, he coughed, and his voice was hoarse: "The Pope didn't create this organization in the first place to see the picture of brothers killing each other in the organization today, Theo, Victor, you are all useful talents of the organization, why can't you work together for the organization?" Do you have to fight to the death? ”

“…… Elder, this kid Theo has broken my capital chain, and the organization will be ruined by him! ”

"Elder, Victor has overthrown the Pope, his next step is to kill the Pope and take the Pope's place!"

"I didn't."

"Then you hand over the Pope."

"You fill in the hole of 30 million dollars first!"

The two men disagreed.

Laura also sighed: "Okay, okay, what are you arguing about, neither of you is a good person, so don't accuse each other here in a dignified manner, as if your starting point is to organize well." ”

“……”

“……”

Theo and Victor glared at each other, eager to shoot each other in the head.

"I'm going to be fair...... Ahem......" The senator walked to the front of the round table, Theo respectfully pulled out a chair for him, and the senator sat down on the chair, "This matter, Victor, you have indeed done it unfairly, Sinai Hospital is very good, there is a top international medical team, and the Pope trusts them very much, you suddenly removed all the medical staff, and also removed the Pope, who was seriously ill and unconscious, what do you think the rest of the organization will think?" ”

“…… I just want him to recuperate more clearly, and stay in Sinai Hospital, where there are many noisy minions that disturb the Pope every day, which is not conducive to the Pope's recovery. ”

"Victor, shut up! Are you taking everyone for a fool?! Theo glared at him.

"Theo, you're at fault too." The patriarch glanced at Theo beside him, "What you did this time is indeed too much, funds are the core driving force for the operation of the organization, you killed Victor's men, the money from the four casinos in Las Vegas cannot be recovered, and the money of the organization is evaporating every minute and every second, do you know how many tens of thousands of dollars you will lose in an hour now?" ”

"......" Theo stopped lashing out at Victor.

"He is worthy of being a patriarch, and he really speaks very well." Lola nodded.

"Laura, are you fanning the flames, thinking I can't see it?" The patriarch sighed, his tone was calm, but his words were sharp, "In the past, when the crackdown on human smuggling was more intense, you didn't smuggle thousands of people from developing countries every day? Now use this as an excuse to fall into the well, don't you think Victor can see it? ”

Lola was speechless for a moment, she brushed her hair a little anxiously, looked up, and found Victor looking at her coldly.

Laura subconsciously glanced at Theo.

Theo was silent for a few seconds, and then simply confessed: "Elder, I kidnapped Laura so that Mrs. Laura could help me. ”

"Hmph, you're going to use some indiscriminate means." Victor taunted.

"The Pope told me to do it." Theo looked at the senator and explained, "The Pope knew that Madame Lola was used to being a councillor and could not be easily manipulated, so he gave me Laura's address. ”

Mrs. Lola saw that Theo himself had told the secret behind it, and she no longer hid it, and asked anxiously: "Theo, I have done what you said, what about my sister?" ”

"Lady Laura, as long as you vote for me, you will be able to see your sister when you go home today."

“…… But she had broken a finger. Laura looked at Theo coldly.

"That's not her finger."

“…… Not her fingers?! ”

"Yes, at this point, I did not follow the Pope's orders, but used the fingers of another woman instead of Laura, she did not suffer, you can rest assured."

Theo is very smart, he knows that if he really follows the Pope's instructions, he will definitely form a bond with Laura, then it may really be as Scott said, even if Theo succeeds in ascending to the throne, others will plot against him, and he doesn't know how he will die at that time.

And now, he has left himself a back road.

Even if it temporarily appeases Laura, it can also have a deterrent effect, letting Lola know that it will be easy for him to cut off Laura's fingers.

“…… If that's the case, let's vote. The patriarch stood up and presided over the overall situation as one of the founders of the organization, "Regarding whether the head of the [Arms Trafficking Group] should be Vincent or Theo, let's vote." ”

"No, you can't." Victor obstructed, "The organization stipulates that the appointment and dismissal of any one of the top leaders of the five major systems must be present in the presence of other leaders to vote, and the minority obeys the majority to decide the outcome." But now Scott from the [Biotech Group] is not there, and the conditions for the meeting are not met. ”
