Chapter 100: The Curtain Opened (I)
The central tower of the Kimberly Hotel.
The voluptuous Kimberly? Dressed in a rich black gauze dress, Mellon walked slowly down the spiral stairs of the tower. She was invited to a drinking party hosted by the Ausvid family, but while she was dressing up, she used the limited time to contact Bloody Harry in the Ultra Nebula and inform Iron Rhine of his intentions to ambush him.
As Robin guessed, Kimberly? Mellon is not a woman who is willing to be a bystander. In this good drama performed by various forces, she plays a two-faced role that meets the fate of the left and right.
Relying on the powerful intelligence network that the Mellon family has in Las Vegas, Kimberly? Mellon has accurate access to the confidential routes of almost every cargo ship, and it is she who has revealed these routes to Bloody Harry and is tasked with selling dirt for Bloody Harry.
On the one hand, taking advantage of the mentality of Bloody Harry's eagerness to sell the stolen goods, Kimberly? Mellon is often able to acquire large quantities of goods of astonishing value at very low prices and some of the necessities that Bloody Harry desperately needs. And through the black market, she can make huge profits by changing hands.
On the other hand, the demand for arms has increased further as mercenaries have become more enthusiastic about exterminating pirates. This makes Kim Bberly? Mellon's illegal arms trade is growing in terms of volume, and, taking advantage of the chaotic situation in Proxima Centauri during this time, Kimberly? Mellon secretly recruited a few mercenaries who had owed her a huge gambling debt, and took advantage of the space police department's troubles due to pirates to run some other illegal business.
In the midst of this turmoil caused by the bloody Harry, Kimberly? Mellon emerged as the real big winner. She expected this chaos to last more than anyone else, so even though she knew she was doing so against the Osvids, she didn't hesitate to risk giving Bloody Harry some informational help.
"Miss, the car is ready."
Golan, dressed in black leather, appeared in Kimberly? Mellon's side, as always, is deferential and humble.
For this man who was placed by his younger brother and never moved by his beauty, Jin Baili? Mellon has always been very disgusted and jealous. However, since this time I was going to attend a drinking party hosted by the Osvid family, for safety reasons, Kimberly? Mellon still took him with him.
Helped by Golan into the carriage, her golden maglev with her surname drove away from the Golden Bellley Hotel like a streamer of light, heading towards the eastern part of Othello.
There are large military areas to the east and south of Othello, so under normal circumstances, federal citizens and freedmen operate only in the western part of Othello, which is the Las Vegas area. However, as the largest arms dealer in the Federation with a number of arms factories, the Osveld family's manor was built in the military area east of Othello, and the countless military fortresses around it acted as if they were guards, guarding the roads leading to the manor.
This reception was the first time that the Osvid family had held such a grand public event after the death of Osvid II, so as the new power holder of the Osveld family, Anse Air personally sent banquet invitations to many powerful people in the Proxima Centauri star field, and all the guests who received the banquet invitations could enter this large military area unimpeded.
Compared to the birthday reception hosted by Governor of Police Brandon, this time, Anse Air did not give the party any special significance. However, all those with a keen sense of politics have already noticed that the holding of this drinking party means that Ansel has completely eliminated the opposition within the family. So, this is Ansel announcing to the world that he is the new master of House Osveld. In addition, by opening the military zone to all guests, he is demonstrating his influence in the military to the world, and in this way he wants to tell the world that the death of Osvid II has not weakened the family's influence on the military, and that they are still the uncrowned king of Othello.
And as a socialite who is well-known in the federal high society, Kimberly? Mellon's political sense is completely comparable to that of some politicians, so she has already noticed the subtext of Anselle's words, but it is precisely because of this that she feels uneasy, and she will endure the disgust in her heart and bring Golan as a bodyguard.
In the eyes of outsiders, Kimberly's Mellon family and Ansel's Osvid family are inextricably linked, and it is not an exaggeration to call them a raccoon dog. However, Jin Baili clearly knows that the in-depth cooperation between the Mellon family and the Osvid family has nothing to do with her. The reason why the Mellon family can lead the other giants in the Alpha capital area and have a place in this Auswed family kingdom is completely dependent on her younger brother Mellon IV Eugene? Mellon and Anse El have a good personal relationship. Therefore, she is nominally the spokesperson of the family in Proxima Centauri, but in fact she is just a puppet under the control of her brother.
Since the establishment of the Kimberley Hotel in Las Vegas, Kimberley? Mellon has been with Othello for five years. In the past five years, she has earned countless fortunes for her family and for herself, but there has always been a lack of close enough negotiations between her and Anse Elsel, and even when the power of the Osvid family changed, Kimberly secretly supported Wright? Auschwid.
This was a fatal mistake made by Kimberly, so when Osvid II officially appointed Ansel as his heir, the panicked Kimberly tried to win over Brandon, including reaching a deal with Robin and supporting Bloody Harry, in fact, all she did just to add some security to herself.
However, when she looked back on what she had done in the past, she suddenly realized that she had unknowingly done too many things that were not good for the Osveld family. And this time, will Anse Air still ignore his own existence?
Thinking back to Anse Elle's handsome face, which was always mixed with a contemptuous smile, Kimberly shuddered. She suddenly had a bad premonition, and this premonition was eroding her heart more and more strongly.
"No......" She shook her head vigorously in a pale face, trying to dispel the terrible conjecture in her head.
Turning her gaze to Golan, who was sitting in the front row, looking at Golan's cold and arrogant back, she suddenly had a little more confidence. Although this man was sent by her brother to spy on her, his loyalty was not questioned. As long as Eugene doesn't leave Alpha Planet for a day to come to Othello, then she's Kimberly? Mellon is still the spokesperson of the Mellon family, and Golan will never sit idly by and watch anyone hurt him.
"It's okay...... As long as Bloody Harry can hold out a little longer, I can get out of the Mellon family. Everything will go according to schedule......"
Ultra Nebula.
In the universe, it is known as the protector of the solar system, and it is like a huge shell that wraps the solar system, blocking the invasion of the solar system by foreign celestial bodies. At the same time, it is also known as the comet's lair. Statistics show that about 20 trillion comets are clustered in the Ultra Nebula and are always active. This makes this vast star field a no-sail zone full of traps and a notorious ship's graveyard.
However, on the periphery of the Ultra Nebula, in that area with relatively sparse density of celestial bodies, a group of drifters in the galaxy made it their home, collecting rare materials in this dangerous star field and making a living.
This is a bad land where only the brave can survive, there is no order, no morality, it is like a primeval jungle in the universe, believing in the law of the jungle that the strong are kings.
And now, a giant beast has stepped into this thorny jungle. The huge white hull was like a sharp long knife, sailing out from behind the ice crystal celestial body that was quietly drifting like a floating mountain. It tore through the veil-like dust and used its anti-aircraft guns to shoot at the debris of nearby celestial bodies scattered by the impact, forcing the massive hull to clear a navigable path.
Bloody Harry, the bloody Lord of Chaos, has once again bared his fangs, leaving the jungle where he lurks and heading for the hunting grounds filled with fat prey.
On the bridge of this 'Knife' frigate, the scarlet cape of Bloody Harry leaned on his body, sitting in the captain's seat that had been made into a throne.
Compared to a few months ago, the Bloody Harry has lost a lot of weight now. There was a sickly pale on his bewitching, handsome face, but his bloodshot eyes were still fanatical. He was like a hungry beast, thirsting for blood and killing.
A few hours earlier, he had received a communication from Othello. In this communication, the woman named Kimberly revealed to him the Osvid ambush, and made it clear that his original target was a trap set up for him by Ansel.
"A whale shark frigate......" squinted his eyes at the yellow-skinny crew members on the bridge, and Bloody Harry sighed silently.
As a knight from the Knights of Gemini, Bloody Harry has a remarkable strategic vision. He knew better than anyone that the group of fighters under his command was actually on the verge of collapse, and with such a state of mind, they could no longer adapt to the high-intensity battle.
However, the barren survival materials in the Ultra Nebula forced him to go out to hunt, even if he knew that a hunter had set a trap, he could only take a huge risk to go out hunting.
Open the shipboard computer at hand, and the sailing routes of cargo ships are densely presented in the three-dimensional screen. Soon, he decided on a new goal.
A fleet of three 30-million-ton cargo ships belonging to the MK military factory became his prey.
Choosing a military factory to escort a cargo ship requires a huge risk, such a 30 million ton large cargo ship is basically a modified armed transport ship, although it is not a regular warship, but the three large cargo ships have the same shipboard firepower can not be underestimated.
But because of this, the fanatical Bloody Harry regarded it as the fattest prey. In his opinion, there is no possibility of camouflage for an armed transport ship like this, which has strong firepower in itself, so there is no need to worry about the danger of being ambushed. As long as you can gnaw this hard bone, then you will once again get precious breathing time. And in the future, there is still the turning point he is looking forward to......
