In the Temple of Light under Lake Geneva.

The flame is still burning, but no matter how strong the flame is, it can't dispel the cold in my heart.

Delenn knelt at the long mahogany table, unable to lift his head under the stern gaze and powerful qi.

Delenn raised his head without giving in, his gaze swept over the thirteen men with black half-face masks one by one, he wanted to see how these self-proclaimed masters of the fate of humanity were different from ordinary people.

"It is worthy of being a kid of the Li family, he does have courage, and it is this kind of courage that our Illuminati lack." As a cold voice sounded, the pressure on Delen's body suddenly became one.

He tried to find the source of the sound, but a stern voice rang out, "Bow down!" ”

Delenn had to bow his head again, because he heard the voice of the head of his house, Edgar. Plum.

"Okay, Lee, be kind, don't frighten the young people, it's already rumored outside that we are a bunch of old monsters who eat people."

This time, Delenn found the source of the sound, a tall, thin man in the middle of the table.

Delenn instantly realized who this person was. The only person who could sit in that position was the Speaker of the Council of Light, Ignaz Ignaz, the current patriarch of the Rothschild family. Rothschild.

"Don't be nervous, the council came to you this time to verify some things with you." Ignaz's voice was still cold, but not so terrifying.

Delenn nodded, not speaking.

"Except for the three of you and the people of Doomsday Phoenix, no one else escaped, did they?"

"In addition to the people of Doomsday Phoenix, there are two Avengers who escaped before us, one of them is their undersecretary of state for Asian affairs, Jerome, but the Avengers have not really gone deep into the battlefield. The rest were buried under the avalanche. ”

Delen didn't have any hints to hide, and he knew that in front of these big people, any little lie could be exposed.

"We sent someone to check later, and it was completely buried by ice and snow, do you think the "Divine Stone" was buried under the ice and snow together, or was it taken by the people of Phoenix or the Avengers? ”

This is the real purpose of the council's inquiry about Delenn, and the whereabouts of the "Divine Stone" are what Ignaz really cares about!

"The last person to come into contact with the 'Divine Stone' was the second-order powerhouse of the Avengers, but after he was killed by the Snowman King, I never saw the 'Divine Stone' appear again. Philip: They were buried under an avalanche because they were looking for the 'Divine Stone' and were delayed in their withdrawal. Delenn deliberately put on a sad expression.

Ignaz didn't care about the situation of the family's second heir in line at all, but continued to ask: "You clearly told me, is it possible for the 'Divine Stone' to fall into the hands of Phoenix or the Avengers?" ”

Delenn recalled it again and said slowly: "I think it's unlikely, the Avengers didn't enter the basin again after that, and I escaped with the people of Phoenix, and none of them left my gaze." ”

When these words came out, he suddenly realized in his mind that he had neglected one thing before, and there was another person who was not in his sight - the woman who could be invisible.

I don't know for what reason, Delen didn't immediately correct his words, maybe he didn't think that Phoenix would be able to get the "Divine Stone", or maybe he hoped from the bottom of his heart that Phoenix would eventually get the "Divine Stone" instead of the organization he hated.

"Alright, you go down." Ignaz's tone was filled with a sense of loss.

"Wait a minute."

Delenn, who had just turned around, was stopped again.

"You didn't immediately return to the organization after coming down from the snowy mountain, where have you been in the past few months?" The one who asked out loud was a big fat man with a strong build, none other than Derek, the patriarch of the Collins family.

"I was ordered by Elder Nelson to go to the snowy mountain, so naturally I had to go back and report to Elder Nelson first. By the time I rushed back to the Northeast Battlefield, the war was over, Elder Nelson was nowhere to be found, and I had been searching for Elder Nelson's whereabouts for months. Delenn replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Derek was about to continue when a soft voice interrupted him, "Collins, remember the last time you asked for support from the Order?" You wouldn't want to put the blame on a young man, would you? ”

"Dupont, you!" Facing the accusations of the head of the Dupont family, Derek's fat body stood up suddenly.

"Alright, you can step aside." Ignaz spoke out again to get Deren to back down, and also suppressed the quarrel that was about to break out.

Silence returned to the meeting room, and no one spoke again for a long time.

It is clear to all of you that this does not mean the end of the matter, but that an even bigger storm is brewing.

Ignaz tapped twice to signal the issue to officially enter parliament.

"The first topic is about the 'Divine Stone'. Although it is not yet possible to verify whether the 'Divine Stone' has the magical power of legend, since it exists, it must not be allowed to fall into the hands of others. We will continue to send people to dig deep into the snowy mountains, although the kid of the Li family has ruled out the possibility that the 'Divine Stone' will be obtained by Doomsday Phoenix or the Avengers, we will never allow accidents to appear, and we must continue to keep a close eye on these two forces. The follow-up tasks are handled by the 'Shadow Army' directly under the Council. ”

The Bright Councillors in the room all nodded in agreement.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Ignaz continued in a low voice: "This time the organization has suffered an unprecedented defeat in China, and all our previous investment has been wiped out, and the Collins family and the Onassis family have to take responsibility for this. I propose to deduct one-third of the Collins family's resource allocation for next year, and one-fifth of the Onassis family's resource allocation. The vote will now be opened. ”

"Agreed."

"Agreed."

"Agreed."

With the exception of the Collins and Onassis families, who did not have the right to vote, the remaining eleven lawmakers unanimously passed the penalty decision.

The black half-face mask could not hide Derek's flushed face, but he was powerless to change the outcome of the vote, and no individual or family member in the Illuminati could disobey the decision of the council.

"Unanimous vote, next topic."

"Wait a minute." Derek still wants to fight, after all, it involves one-third of the family's resources in the coming year, and it is related to the development of the entire family.

"Collins, do you have any objections to the decision of the council?" Ignaz stared at Derek with a grim gaze.

"The Collins family is willing to take responsibility for their defeat in China and is willing to accept the punishment of the organization. But I think the Speaker's proposal is unfair, Collins has paid a greater price, and my youngest son has even died in China, why should he be punished more than the Onassis family? ”

"I can give you an answer, first of all, at your request, the last and greatest support of the organization is for the Collins family, if it succeeds, the Collins family will have more benefits than Onassis, and in the spirit of fairness, the Collins family will have to bear more punishment if they fail. Second, after the defeat in Qinghai, the Onassis family did not abandon the task of the organization, and just two days ago the Onassis family had opened a land route into China for the organization. Do you still think it's unfair now? ”

Derek's big face under the mask turned even redder, "That's fair. The Onassis family gets a chance to do it again, and the Collins ask for a fair chance. ”

Ignaz burst out laughing, "That's our next topic." Did the Chinese think they drove us out of the Illuminati? No one can defeat us, not only the Collins family, but also the Lee family and the Rothschild family will be thrown into the offensive against China this time, and the Illuminati will completely conquer this country! ”

......

The Phoenix City Banquet Hall was full of people.

The wine banquet has reached a high level. tide, the doomsday Phoenix powerhouses present drank red one by one.

Chi Hua was already shaking the soles of his feet slightly, and he was still being persuaded to drink in turns. Song Yu's face was slightly red just now, and he was carrying a wine bottle around looking for someone to fight for wine. You Yong and Jin Yu, Ma Qingqiu and Duan Jiangpeng were fighting in pairs, and they had long forgotten that they had discussed before that they would go to the "Phoenix Family" after drinking. Liang Lei and Guo Xiaohui began to hug and cry while drinking, and a few of them were already lying on the table unconscious.

There are too many reasons to get drunk tonight, in order to celebrate the victory of this apocalyptic war, to remember the brothers who died in battle, to celebrate Ma Qingqiu's homecoming, to welcome the upcoming New Year, to the girls of the "Phoenix family", and to ......

Exactly: the wine is in full swing, and the glass does not stop when the love is deep!

Ouyang Minglang hurriedly rushed into the banquet hall at this moment, and dragged out Chi Hua, who was being persuaded by Yueqin to drink with his arms around his neck.

Chi Hua, who was shaking on the soles of his feet, was almost dragged by Ouyang Minglang, Chi Hua took advantage of the situation to hold Ouyang's shoulder, and smiled at Ouyang Minglang drunkenly, "Ouyang, where did you go?" I'm looking for you. Come and have a drink with my brother. ”

Ouyang Minglang stood still and did not move.

Chi Hua found that Ouyang's eyes were full of tears, his body trembled slightly, and he was holding a piece of paper in his hand that trembled even more.

Chi Hua's wine immediately woke up halfway, and he took the piece of paper from Ouyang's trembling hands.

The words came into view, and Chi Hua's brain buzzed, as if his head had been hit hard, and his body shook and almost fell.

In the next second, an incomparably fierce murderous aura erupted from Chi Hua's body.

There seemed to be a sudden gust of cold wind blowing in the hall, and everyone's bodies trembled, and even the people who were drunk on the table shivered and sat up.

The banquet hall, which had just been full of people, became silent in an instant, and everyone's eyes were focused on Chi Hua, whose eyes were red and full of murderous energy.

Yi Feng squeezed through the crowd, dragged the piece of paper from Chi Hua's hand, and read it softly, "30,000 Guangming troops raided Ili, our department was deeply encircled, Qin Yurou broke through to cover the army, fought the enemy's three second-order powerhouses, was seriously injured and died, Yang Hongquan led the remnants to retreat to the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains......"

Yi Feng's cold voice was not loud, but every word rang in everyone's ears like a flood bell and a big lu, shaking everyone's heart.

One murderous aura after another rose into the sky, forming a cloud of murderous aura in the sky above the banquet hall.

A new war began......
