For some reason, it suddenly got dark.

Rain.

A thunderbolt broke through the clouds, and in an instant, the iron tree exploded like a silver flower, pouring half of the sky and reflecting the eyes of the people.

Horn was not dazzled by the electric light, and he withdrew his gaze from the porthole of the airship. The window baffle was slowly lowering, blocking out the wind and rain outside. In this severe rainstorm, this "Black Hawk" was not affected by thunderstorms at all. After a burst of gliding, it makes a beautiful arc and plunges into the rain clouds below. Lightning and thunder continued to knock on its body, but it was absorbed by a layer of shield.

Moments later, the ship leapt out of the clouds and flew in the rain in the direction of Area 21.

The hull was softly lit, and Horn sat in a comfortable chair with only two cups of coffee at the front table. One of them was Horn's, and the other, of course, was the escort sitting across from him. Anna was silently swiping the light screen of the brain in her hand, and the secret orders were sent out with the movement of her fingers. As they were a kilometer in the air, several family surface forces, including Area 21, moved towards the location Anna had designated.

Looking at the secret samurai who didn't say a word, Horn smiled, "Don't be so serious, Anna. You have to smile a lot, especially a woman, so that you can appear close. ”

Anna put down her brain, took a sip of coffee and said, "I don't need to make people feel close, as long as I can protect the master, it doesn't hurt to have a stinky face." ”

Horn shook his head and smiled: "It sounds good, but in my heart I am not angry that I don't listen to your dissuasion, and I insist on going to the 21st district." ”

Anna frowned and sighed, "Master, Baker invited you to negotiate, although in order to avoid suspicion, he chose Tyre's territory. But you know, there has always been an eyebrow between Old Baker and Tyre. It's true that Tyre has been neutral all these years, but who knows for sure that he won't be bribed by Old Baker. Of course, I know that the master has always had no last resort, and since he agreed to go to the appointment, he must be completely sure. ”

"Well, our Anna is going to be a sycophant too, especially so easy to shoot, not bad." Horn flicked the cup with his fingers, and the coffee in the cup immediately rippled in circles, looking at these ripples Horn said, "Anna, you know it too." Our little Allen has made a great contribution this time, and His Excellency the President has not only given him a first-class merit, but has also awarded the Cloud Iron Star to Bescord by name. What do you think about this? ”

Hearing this, Anna said: "Of course that's a good thing, in this way, Young Master Allen will sit firmly in the first position, no one should criticize it, right?" Moreover, with Yun Tiexing, our family's strength can climb to a higher height, saving at least ten years of hard work, which is a great thing. That's it, it's ......"

Horn went on for her: "It's just too compelling. ”

The head of the Beth Kode family sighed: "First-class military merit and cloud iron star, getting any of them is a great thing for Allen and the family. But if you have both, it's too sharp. We've been in the limelight for the past few years, and we really don't need to add to it. Now we have reaped so many benefits for nothing, but they have pushed us to the forefront of life. ”

Horn snorted: "Our Excellency the President, Ann may not be well-intentioned. ”

"What do you mean, sir?"

"Anna, if you pay attention, you will know that in the past, the presidents have all come from the civilian or military departments, and never from the aristocratic and wealthy families." Horn closed his eyes, as if he was recuperating, and continued: "Whether it is a family of gate valves, or even a wealthy family. No matter how hard you try, you can't send the chess pieces in your hands into the real power core of the Federation, and you don't have that kind of long-sleeved and good dancing political material between us for hundreds of years? It's not that there isn't, but it's that they can't be entered. That inner circle was closed to us from the beginning. ”

"After the Battle of Dawn, the earth was devastated, and the power of the country was completely destroyed. When the Federation was first established, it had no manpower but no resources. However, some families that had preserved part of their heritage before the war mastered the strategic resources that the Federation most urgently needed at that time, so there was the first cooperation between the family and the Federation. At that time, the Federation and the aristocracy joined forces, and it was a win-win situation. But now, not necessarily......" Horn said softly, "Although we have always had a rule of non-interference, the line is becoming blurred over time. We are a fishbone in the throat of successive federal presidents, and it is only a matter of time before we are pulled out. However, judging from the magnanimity of His Excellency the President now, the Federation is about to start working. ”

Anna's face turned cold: "If Mobit wants to offend the nobles, it is just a lose-lose situation." Don't forget that there is a door of freedom on the surface now, and he is so unwise? ”

Horn chuckled, "You underestimate our Excellency the President." Military merit and cloud iron star are just fish and erbium invested in this nobility pool. Now these two fish Erbium landed in the mouth of a big fish named Beskode, but you see, the bait is too big and too big for the big fish to swallow in one go. This is difficult to ensure that the other fish and shrimp in the pond have no idea, if other fish and shrimp compete for food, although it will not kill all the fish and shrimp at once, but the pool water will be mixed after all. If the pool water is mixed, who can see what happens in the pool? Even if a shark called the Federation swims in at this time, probably no one will see it clearly. When the time comes, no matter how big or small the fish is, it will eventually enter the shark's bloody mouth. ”

"Our president, it's about the big picture. The overthrow of the aristocracy began with him. But when it will end, he may not be able to see it, but he resolutely does it. This man is a man with great courage. ”

Anna was shocked.

"The water is about to start to mix, and I don't have the patience to serve Old Baker little by little. If we can't be a big fish before the pond mixes. Without the shark mouthing, it's time to share the food with the other fish and shrimp. Old Baker must have been fully prepared to invite me to negotiate. Then I'll just follow his wishes and cut through the mess quickly. Although there will be some blood after all, it is better than being eaten, don't you? Horn opened his eyes at this time, and there was a flash of lightning in his eyes: "It's just that Old Baker's full preparation is just his own wishful thinking." ”

In the 21st district of the surface, there is a well-known city, and the city with the same name as the old casino city of Las Vegas is also a casino city itself. There are many casinos and hotels here. Some people get rich overnight, and some people get poor overnight. Life has its ups and downs, but that's it.

In the casino, there is a Golden Sail Club, which is both a hotel and a casino. This clubhouse has a medium reputation, a medium profitability, and a medium scale. It's really less than the top, and more than the bottom. The only thing that can be done is qualifications. In the casino, the business of the hotel and casino is also up and down like the life in the city. Not to mention, let's just say that in just ten years, I don't know how many casinos in the city have opened and how many have closed. What can be left is very rare.

Jin Fan has nothing else, only his qualifications are old enough. Seniority, of course, there will always be old customers, especially those who are generous. Those gamblers who are generous are not just picking places to gamble. If the casino is newly opened, I don't know the roots, and God knows if you will be a big bully. In case you see a guest winning too much, you will turn your face when you say that you will turn your face, and such casinos are not nothing, but too many. Jin Fan has a good reputation in this regard, you should be as much as you want, and you will never do that stabbing black knife in the back. And word of mouth is precipitated over time.

So after so many years, Jin Fan has not fallen. Although it will not be full late, it will not be crowded. What is rare is that after so many years of operation, it is not necessarily the boss behind the expansion of the scale. So Jin Fan maintained his original appearance, and in the ten years of wind and rain in this casino, he walked down.

But tonight, Jin Fan made a puzzling move.

The Jinfan Club, which has been open all year round, has been suspended for ten years, and it made an announcement early tonight to suspend business. But at about 8 o'clock in the evening, there were flying cars driving to the door of the club, and it was obvious that there were VIPs coming to the door.

But the lobby supervisor who stood at the gate and waited early knew what kind of VIPs they were, but the villains and murderers. At this moment, a short, thin old man came out of the first flying car, he looked inconspicuous at all, but the lobby director had already been told that it was Old Baker of the Eighth District. Old Baker had the nickname of a butcher when he was younger, although he didn't do that kind of fighting and killing now. But that face that is about to die is always full of three points of evil. No matter how dark he smiled, Rao is supervisor was used to seeing the scene, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his back.

He hurriedly greeted him.

Before he could get to him, he stopped a man with a slanted scar on his face. Raiden looked at the director with a blank face, and Muna said, "Stand here and talk." ”

The director dared to be angry, and reluctantly pushed out a smile on his face that was more ugly than crying and said to the old man, "Master Baker, Mr. Tyre has been waiting for a long time. ”

Old Baker looked a little absent-minded, he glanced at the few bodyguards in sunglasses and suits behind him, and replied with a "hmm". The lobby supervisor only felt that he had really stuck to his cold ass, but he didn't dare to care. Dealing with the butcher is pure impatience. He had prepared a set of flowery rhetoric, and this time he quickly swallowed it in his stomach. Looking at the appearance of others, it is clear that he is not in the mood to deal with a little person like himself, so he still hurried to bring someone to it.

The supervisor said "Please come with me" and led the way in front.

Old Baker waved his hand, and thunder and lightning went first. Old Baker was in the middle, and five bodyguards walked behind him. According to the previous agreement, no one was allowed to carry weapons on their bodies. Otherwise, as soon as you enter the door, the alarm at the door should go off. Old Baker walked neither fast nor slow, staring ahead, but muttering to himself: "How sure are you about Horn?" ”

"Five-five." A voice came from behind.

"Five points? It's a lot, I hope you don't talk about it. Old Baker said in a whisper.
