Chapter 290: Did the Brother Take It and Sell It?
The position of the city lord of Kodo Space City is hereditary, and it is not something that the Council of Elders can shake, because although the Council of Elders of Kodo Space City can influence the decision-making of Space City, the position of the city lord always belongs to the internal affairs of the Kodo family, and the Council of Elders is not allowed to interfere in the internal affairs of the Kodo family without authorization......
The most important thing is that to get Joey out of the position of city lord, it requires a very complicated legal process, and it is absolutely impossible to solve it with a single sentence.
It is precisely because of his absolute confidence that Joey dares to scold, here, but his turf.
Suddenly, Joey felt a strange feeling, because the group of elders were unconcerned about his outburst, and there was a faint hint of smugness in his eyes.
Why is this happening?
A trace of uneasiness permeated Joey's heart, it seemed that things were strange everywhere, first of all, it was impossible for the Council of Elders to hold a meeting without informing him, and secondly, it was impossible for an elder to enter the space city, and he actually didn't have the slightest news.
Why is this happening?
Just as Joey was thinking, suddenly, with a hint of alarm, a "whew", a fierce and cold wind shot behind Joey, and without thinking, Joey almost immediately rushed towards the sturdy little white man beside him, which was a safe place......
The little white man is called Peter, his full name is Peter 61 Kodo, he belongs to the core member of the Kodo family, and he is also Joey's left and right arm, and his importance is not much less than that of the martial arts master Simak and the king of gambling money, and even more so, because the internal affairs of the entire space city are almost all managed by Peter 61 Kodo.
Really!
Peter did move and pounced on the enemy behind him, and the moment Joey and Peter passed by, Joey saw a treacherous smile on Peter's face, not good......
"Pong"
Peter punched Joey in the waist, and the lightning speed formed a huge momentum like a high-speed heavy vehicle, Joey's body was hit in the air, slammed into the metal wall, and then, as if there were no bones, he slid into the corner, his mouth soaked in blood, and his body struggled to get up.
No one stopped Joey from standing up, only the actual complicated eyes looked at Joey who was trying to stand up, and in those eyes, there was mockery, contempt, pity, and sympathy......
After several consecutive falls, Joey finally got to his feet, leaning against the metal wall to barely keep his battered body from falling.
Joey didn't speak, just looked at Peter coldly, it was an indescribable look, a look that was so calm that people didn't dare to face it.
"Joey, don't look at me like that, we grew up together, we are all descendants of the Kodo family, but, since I was a child, when you were clothed and fed, I was brutally training on some desolate planets, when you hugged left and right, I was enduring lonely nights alone, when you ascended to the position of city lord and called for wind and rain, I will saddle your horse and ...... for you" Peter said with a cruel smile.
"That's why you betrayed your family?" Joey said coldly.
"No, I didn't betray the family, I just betrayed you, and even, I can't say it's a betrayal, because I just took back what belongs to me!" Peter roared hysterically, his blue eyes turned crimson, and his lean body seemed to explode, like a ferocious beast.
"Do you think that if you kill me, you will be able to ascend to the position of the city lord?" Joey wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
"I know, you think they are using me, tell you, I have been waiting for this day for fifteen years, even without the support of the Presbyterian Council, I can control Space City, tell you that as early as five years ago, Space City was already under my control!" Peter had a smug smile on his face.
"Then why didn't you do it five years ago?"
"Because, you have SMS and tens of millions of money."
"Well, now they're both seriously injured, so you'll have a chance." Although Joey was seriously injured on his face, he was still calm and still asked methodically.
"No, even if the two of them are not seriously injured, today is your end!" Peter said murderously.
"Why?"
"The reason is very simple, because the pirates of the Seven Star Domains have gathered less than 10,000 kilometers away from Kedo Space City, even if Simak and Qian Wan are in Space City, they can't stop us."
"Hehe, do you think that a mere group of pirates can defeat a space city that has been accumulated for hundreds of years?"
"No, of course not, that's why we're working with Peter, who has opened the doors of Space City for us, esteemed Joey 61 Mr. Kodo." This time it was not Peter who spoke, but an elder of the Presbyterian Church.
"You want to destroy Space City?" Joey's face changed.
"No, no, of course not, we're just letting the space city change owners!"
"Peter, you will become the sinner of the family, if they just change their master, why choose you, they just want the Kodo family to disappear completely, it doesn't matter if I die or not, but, we must not let the Kodo Space City, which has lasted for hundreds of years, be destroyed!"
"I don't bother you with this, I am free to advocate that when the time comes, I will formulate some preferential policies to completely open the space city, instead of letting the pirate's goods be sold in that dark dungeon, we will get greater profits and greater tax ......revenues," Peter said as if immersed in the perfect world he had constructed
"Peter, you're crazy! If the space city is completely opened, then the space city will not be a space city, the space city will not increase income, the beneficiaries will only be pirates, and the space city will become the enemy of the seven star fields...... Don't you understand? The charm of the space city lies in having such a special existence as a dungeon, because the dungeon is a shelter for the poor, if the seven star fields are to be banned, they must accept more than 100,000 refugees, so the seven star fields only turn a blind eye, hey...... Your father really said it well, you are ambitious and talented, and you are ambitious...... Why didn't I listen to your father in the first place......"
"What did my father say?" Peter snapped.
"Before you could follow me, your father warned me that you were ambitious, ambitious, and imprudent, and incapable of taking on great responsibilities, and that I must remember not to let you be in power, unthinkable, unthinkable......," Joey shook his head and let out a long sigh
"That's what my father said?" Peter's face flushed.
"Your father is also my elder, is it possible, you think I will lie!" Joey snorted coldly.
"Then why are you reusing me?" Peter's face was as dead as ashes.
"Because you are my brother, I want to share the weal and woe with my brother!" Joey paused word by word and said with a serious expression.
"You treat me as a brother?" Peter's lips trembled with his hands.
"It has always been, when you were alone training on the planet, I traveled thousands of miles to visit you, bring you wine women, and bring you fur coats...... Isn't that what a brother should do? ”
"You said you were passing by, you were passing by!" Peter shouted, his body backing back, his hands trembling.
"Is it necessary for me to pass by a desolate planet a dozen interstellar jumps in a row?" Joey smiled wryly.
"I'm ......"
"Be careful...... Joey's eyes widened and he snorted.
"Ah......h
It's a pity that it's too late, a short sword has penetrated the back of Peter's heart, the sharp tip of the sword is exposed to the chest, and the blood droplets are dripping silently, Peter's short and slender body is like a solidified ice sculpture, his mouth is wide open, and he slowly turns around and looks back at the tall elder behind him.
"You'd love to ask why I killed you? Well, for the sake of our cooperation, let me tell you, lest you die and be a fool, yes, as the respected Mr. Joy said, you are ambitious and talented, you are ambitious, you are not good for us to live, we don't need Space City, and we don't need you! The tall elder smirked.
Peter opened his mouth, but did not speak, and tried to look back at Joey.
"My father was right...... Brother, brother...... I'm sorry......" The blood from the corner of Peter's mouth gushed out in a big gulp.
"Don't speak, don't speak, Peter, we are brothers, brothers! We will always be brothers, and we have the same blood in our blood......" Joey held back tears, "It's my fault, it's me who shouldn't have disobeyed your father's advice, it's me who hasn't ......"
Speaking of the back, Joey was already crying.
