Othello Star, bustling First Avenue in Las Vegas. (Vertex Hand Hit)

Under the colorful and brilliant neon, people indulge and enjoy their lives in a variety of ways. With no interstellar pirates and no poor freedmen, the Federators of Othello seem to have returned to their former glitzy lives, enjoying what they have now.

But in the endless flow of people, the old and the young sitting hand in hand on the bench on the side of the street seemed to be out of place with the glitz in front of them. They sat there silently, looking at the hustle and bustle in front of them with indifferent eyes.

"Craving ice cream?" Wrapped in a shabby trench coat and covered with a knitted hat covering his messy silver hair, the seemingly old man bowed his head kindly and whispered to the delicate porcelain doll-like girl beside him.

"No, I just want you to stay with me, Dad." The girl looked up at her wrinkled father with blue eyes, and she clasped his arms in the crook of his arm, unwilling to let him go.

"Stay?" The old man looked up at the huge screen of the skyscraper, in which Federal President Dawson was making a denunciation against Proxima Centauri, and then looked back at the few black-clad bodyguards standing like statues not far behind him, and shook his head bitterly: "It's late, it's too late to change your mind now." ”

"You can refuse~" The girl seemed to be very excited, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Why should you obey that man's arrangement, you could have refused~"

"No, I can't refuse. Because I can't resist the temptation to make you queen, and for me, it's more important than my life. Kissing the girl's forehead gently, the old man held the girl's cold cheeks with both hands: "Remember what I said to you, don't disobey that person, don't do anything irrational." No matter what happens, you have to restrain your emotions, only then can you wear that noble crown and truly enjoy everything. ”

"But ......"

The girl tried to argue, but several black-clad bodyguards standing behind her were obviously impatient, and when they approached, they said in a cold and deep tone, "It's time to go, Mr. Brandon." ”

"No, don't take my father~" The girl stood up excitedly and spread her arms in front of the black-clothed bodyguard.

"Audrey, this is my decision." Brandon, who was no longer in her former glory, grabbed her daughter and looked at her with tears in her eyes lovingly: "We've already said it, haven't we, don't be so willful......"

Wiping tears from her daughter's face, Brandon looked up at the bodyguard who came to urge: "Don't forget that he promised me that he would do his best to keep Audrey safe after everything started." ”

"Yes, I swear we will." The bodyguard bowed respectfully.

"Okay......" Brandon breathed a sigh of relief as if he had exhausted all his strength. He bent his back and took off one of the rings he was wearing with trembling hands and stuffed them into Audrey's hands.

"Let's go."

Turning around ruthlessly, Brandon got into a maglev without looking back, and quickly disappeared into the crowded traffic on First Avenue in Las Vegas under Audrey's teary-eyed vision.

"Miss, it's time for us to leave, too." Several other black-clad bodyguards surrounded Audrey, holding her emaciated shoulders and trying to get her into the car.

"Don't touch me with your dirty hands~" Audrey angrily shook off the bodyguard's hand on her shoulder, and glanced back at the direction of her father's departure.

"The Queen's Crown, do you really want me to get it so much?"

……

Just two hours later, Brandon left from First Avenue in Las Vegas? Rex changed his face and appeared in Anse Air with a radiant appearance? Auschwid's office.

"Oh~Mr. Brandon, I'm glad you showed up on time." Anse El was originally holding Vivien and playing with it, but when he saw Brandon coming in, he immediately let go of Vivien in his arms and got up to meet Brandon.

"It seems like I'm too punctual to disturb your Yaxing." Glancing with some disgust, the crystal liquid that was still on Ansel's fingers was still left, Brandon held back the anger in his heart and reached out to hold it.

However, at the same time as Brandon stretched out his hand, Anse El unexpectedly retracted his right hand, which had already been outstretched, and casually picked up a handkerchief and wiped his sticky fingers: "You are so mindful of saying that, you know, I don't mind." ”

"So it looks like I've got your unique fetish in place?" Awkwardly retracting his hand, Brandon sneered and sarcastically.

"You shouldn't be sarcastic about me, Mr. Brandon." Ansel, who had been smiling, suddenly glanced at Brandon with an indifferent gaze, turned and sat down on the seat where the Governor's nameplate was placed: "I know that you have always held a grudge against me, because I took away your position and your political future. But...... Don't forget that I'm giving you another chance right now, a chance to be crowned with royal glory. ”

"But the price is my life~" Brandon glared at Anse Air with a short breath: "Don't say all this as if it's your gift, I understand what I will gain and what I will lose." ”

"No, you don't understand. Or maybe you haven't really admitted that you've become one of the lowly people," Ansel said, taking a deep puff of his cigarette, "Yes, the crown was bought for your life in a sense, but the current situation is that you overestimate your own life. Without my arrangement, your life would not be worth much, and your only daughter, hehe...... Her life is worth a little more than yours, but it's definitely not much higher. ”

"Are you insulting me? Mr. Ansel~" Brandon's angry eyes were red, and he rushed to Ansel and yelled.

"You should know that what I'm saying is the truth." Anse El puffed a puff of cigarette into Brandon's face and laughed uncontrollably.

“……”

Looking at Ansel's wanton sneering face, Brandon couldn't help but want to punch him in the nose. However, this demonic impulse was finally forcibly suppressed by him, because he knew very well that Ansel was not wrong, and that what he said was all the truth.

In politics, winning or losing is the undisputed rule of the game. Just as Anse Air took his position, Brandon gained the glory and wealth he once had by defeating other political rivals.

As for the political opponents he defeated, most of them did not live for a few years after leaving politics, going mad, committing suicide, and being murdered because of poverty and debt...... And so on, and so on, and so on, and this kind of ending has become the final life portrayal of a political loser.

Brandon knew that if Ansel hadn't invited him, he would have ended his life in the months that followed.

People who have had rights would rather give up their lives than return to the ordinary. As a successful politician in the past, Brandon has everything that anyone could only dream of. Honor, status, power, wealth...... All of this was completely within his reach at the time. However, the political defeat cost him everything, and although he used his extraordinary wisdom to find a glimmer of life for himself in the trial of the malfeasance case, he did not know at the time, deprived of political rights for life, that this desperate glimmer of life was actually only the beginning of suffering.

After the case was over, he tried to ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ］
