Hearn, the president of the Athens Self-Metallurgical Council, was escorted by a guard led by his son Antony, and walked up the smooth stone steps up the Acropolis. Since 3,000 years ago, people have walked the same way to the Acropolis, and under the "polishing" of countless pairs of feet over thousands of years, the stone steps of the Acropolis are so smooth that even one accidentally will slip. Hearn couldn't count the first time he had walked on the stone steps, but none of the previous ones were as grand as they were today, and he felt like he was walking with the Athenian sages like Perikles. Tonight, he will announce to the world at the Parthenon that Athens will become an independent city-state in the future.

When I came to the Acropolis, I saw nothing but desolation. After all, the Acropolis had been plundered by the Romans, the Ottoman Turks, and even the British. Hearn swore in his heart that sooner or later, he would let them return the treasures of the Acropolis that had been plundered.

The once glorious Temple of Pat Lane is now home to stone pillars and replicas. It was destroyed by shelling hundreds of years ago. The few remaining artifacts were later bought by the British from Ottoman Turkey at a low price and became part of the British Museum's collection.

Hearn looked around dissatisfied, not dissatisfied with the current dilapidated state of the Parthenon, after all, it had been like this before he was born. He was displeased that the press and the members of the committee, who were supposed to be here to witness themselves as the first mayor of independent Athens, did not come.

"What's going on? Anthony, didn't you say it would start at eight o'clock? What about those committee members? What about those journalists? What about my secretary? Where did they go? ”

Anthony looked at his watch, it was already eight o'clock.

Hearn was about to take out his mobile phone to reprimand his secretary, when he saw a dozen acquaintances with daggers rushing out of the temple, all of whom were his colleagues in the committee.

Before Hearn could react, he was held up by two guards.

A dozen committee members rushed over, each stabbing Hearn with a dagger in his hand. It's like they've been rehearsed, and each of them has a knife in order.

At this time, Hearn was experiencing a long and painful death, and his desire to lead Athens to independence was no longer in his mind. With the last of his strength, he grabbed the arm of one of the assassins.

"And you? Anthony? ”

"Father, Athens would be better under Frederick the Great."

Frederick the Great was the Emperor of HER, and Hearn understood everything. Anthony wrenched his father's arm and stabbed him down.

Looking at Hearn as he fell to the ground, Anthony wiped the blood from his handkerchief and scanned everyone involved in the assassination with his wolf-like eyes.

"Everyone has now expressed their allegiance to the Empire, and this morning, the Whip of God will arrive, and Athens will open its doors to welcome the Empire! ”
