Chapter 45: The Dark Star
"Of course not," Xiu said, "What we can do now is to slowly accumulate strength, and one day I believe that we will be able to rescue Lord Anthony." ”
"Accumulate strength? one day?" Situ Jin smiled bitterly in his heart, how empty and powerless these words were! But he couldn't refute it, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly spoke, and his tone was firm: "Even if the Downton Empire is very powerful, since it has already attacked us now, then it is impossible for me to choose to sit still!" Speaking of this, Situ Jin paused, and then ordered: "Xiu, immediately summon the blue-level and above killers in the organization to gather in the council hall, I have something important to announce to you." ”
"Young Master?" Xiu Ben wanted to say something, but after his eyes met Situ Jin's gaze, he knew that Situ Jin had made up his mind, bowed slightly, and he said, "Command!" I will arrange it immediately. ”
At the same time, in the imperial capital of the Lord Empire, in the hall of a red attic, there are more than a dozen people sitting at the moment, and sitting in the middle is an old man who looks seventy or eighty years old, the old man has brown hair and eyebrows, and his body is thin, but his whole body exudes the momentum of a superior person, this old man is the leader of the third-ranked organization "Dark Star" in the underground world - Arnold.
At this time, Arnold's brows were furrowed, his small eyes narrowed slightly, and the people sitting below him were talking about it.
"Chentian suddenly made a move on Dawn, this thing is a bit strange!"
"Are you unwilling to continue to succumb to the position of second child?"
"Whatever! It doesn't hurt us anyway. ”
"Exactly, if the two of them fight, we can just take advantage of the fisherman. ”
"Hahaha! That's right, we can even push in the middle when the time is right. ”
"Maybe this is a chance for us Dark Star to rise!"
For a moment, the hall was in chaos, but from beginning to end, Arnold and a young man who looked to be in his 20s sitting to his right did not speak, they just listened quietly to the discussion of the people below.
After listening for a while, Arnold finally couldn't listen anymore, he slapped the table with his palm, and said sharply, "Enough!
As soon as Arnold spoke, the whole hall immediately fell silent, and everyone looked at Arnold in confusion, wondering why he lost his temper so much.
Arnold's eyes swept over the faces of everyone in the hall, and then he scolded: "I think you are pigs! The organization will be handed over to you in the future, and I am afraid that it will be disbanded in a few days!
Listening to Andrew's scolding voice sitting in front of him, the hall was silent for a while.
In the dark star, the leader system is also implemented, but unlike Dawn, there is also an elders' council under the leader, and the existence of the elders' council is mainly to assist the leader in making decisions, and it does not have much real power in itself.
Arnold has been sitting in the position of the leader of the Dark Star for more than 40 years, although his temper is very short-tempered, but everyone knows the ability of this old man, before Arnold sat in the position of leader, the Dark Star was only a medium-sized organization, it was this old man who looked thin and weak and took the Dark Star to become strong, so in the organization, no one has ever dared to challenge Arnold's authority.
After scolding, looking at the people below, Arnold sighed and said, "Everyone should know that the Downton Empire sent someone to me a few days ago, ostensibly to say that it was cooperation, but in fact, to put it bluntly, it was to control our Dark Star. ”
After Arnold finished speaking, everyone looked at Arnold, not knowing why Arnold suddenly talked about this, in fact, it is precisely because everyone knows about this that they are so happy to see Dawn and Chentian fighting now, everyone thinks that this is an opportunity, a chance for the rise of the dark star.
Arnold seemed to see through everyone's thoughts, sneered, and said, "Do you think that if we sit in the position of the leader of the underground world, the Downtons will not dare to touch us?"
The crowd below didn't speak, but the look in their eyes had already acknowledged it. Although they had also heard about the strength of the Downton Empire, it was only heard, and no one knew how powerful it was.
Over the years, the concessions made by the vast majority of countries in the face of killer organizations have given these people a deep-rooted idea that even a big country would not dare to mess with a huge killer organization. Even if the Downton Empire is a superpower, it doesn't make these people feel that terrible.
However, although these people are not many people who have a small number of hearts about the strength of the Downton Empire, Arnold knows some inside information. He snorted coldly and said, "You all listen to me, no matter how far the dark star goes, for the Downtons, we are just ants, Anthony's old guy suddenly disappeared more than ten years ago, presumably by the Downtons." ”
"What?" Arnold's words sent a wave of surprise through the hall, and there was no expression of surprise except for the young man sitting below Arnold.
"My lord, is this-impossible?" said an elder below, although there was rumor in the underworld that Anthony, the leader of the dawn, had disappeared many years ago, many people did not believe it.
Arnold said, "What's impossible? The old man warns you again, don't underestimate the Downtons! Otherwise, we will only suffer in the end." ”
"My lord, why did the Downtons capture the Dawn Chief?" the other elder asked.
Arnold did not directly answer the elder's words this time, but turned his gaze to the young man sitting next to him and said, "Byron, what do you think?"
The young man named Byron had a cold face, and he said lightly: "According to my guess, the Downton Empire should have made a similar request to Dawn as we did, and this old leader of Dawn must have refused." ”
Byron's words once again made the people below look surprised.
"What? So the Downton Empire doesn't just want to target us Dark Star?"
"Could it be that the Downton Empire wants to control the entire underground force in its hands?"
"Isn't it?
"If Downton had already found Dawn more than a decade ago, why hadn't it found us until now?"
Byron coughed twice suddenly, and the hall instantly quieted down, and then only Byron said: "Maybe it's because Downton just came up with this idea more than ten years ago, and he didn't make relevant preparations, and it is not ruled out that they didn't want to use force at first, but they just wanted to use the easiest way to achieve their goals, but when they found Anthony, this old guy directly rejected them, which may be a turning point for the Downtons to change their minds, so unlike more than ten years ago, the current Downtons are prepared." ”
Speaking of this, Byron paused, and then said: "Presumably, Chentian should be the link that the Downtons have prepared. ”
"What?" everyone was shocked: "Could it be that Chentian has been controlled by the Downtons?"
Byron nodded: "This is the only way to explain why Chentian suddenly made a move on Dawn." ”
"Then what are we to do now, do we have to give in to the Downtons?" asked one of the elders.
"Of course not!" This time it was Arnold who spoke, his gaze swept over the entire hall, and then he said loudly: "Old man Arnold, although he is just a killer leader, but he also has a strong and proud body, as long as the old man is still alive for a day, it will never be possible to give in to the Downtons, even if the dark star is destroyed in my hands, I will not let it fall into the hands of the Downtons." ”
At this moment, everyone looked at the thin old man sitting at the top, but for a while they had an illusion, as if the little old man instantly became extremely tall.
"Although the Downton Empire has not yet made a move against us, since it has already made a move against Dawn, it will surely be our turn soon. Arnold spoke: "I believe everyone understands the truth of cold lips and teeth, for the sake of today, we must hug Dawn tightly, otherwise it will only make the Downtons have the last laugh." ”
After speaking, Arnold said: "When the news of Anthony's disappearance just came out before, I guessed that something had happened to him, and I thought that Dawn would suddenly have no leader and would be in chaos, but the imaginary chaos did not appear, for so many years, Dawn still held the position of the first throne in the underground world of the continent. Now it seems that Anthony, the old guy, may have already found a good successor for himself in advance, and this successor must be quite good. ”
Knowing that Arnold must have something to say, everyone didn't speak, and sure enough, Arnold soon said: "Because the other party is quite low-key, I don't know everything about the current leader of Dawn." ”
Speaking of this, Arnold suddenly looked at Byron: "Byron, you rush to the Biaro Empire as soon as possible, get in touch with the new leader of Dawn, and at the same time reveal to him what we think on our side, and you can improvise what to do!
Listening to Arnold's order, Byron immediately stood up, and then replied in a deep voice: "Yes, my lord!"
