Chapter 550: Benefits
"What did I just see?" Anderson Lehman gasped, his face extremely pale, as if he would faint at any moment.
"Death!" Leo replied, looking at Anderson Lehman with admiration.
The gods are not to be looked at, even if the gods are far away, just a phantom, but the invisible coercion from the life level is enough to extinguish all weak beings who dare to look directly at him like a tsunami.
When Anderson Lehman saw the webweaver and the god of death Gain, Leo had already considered the mental impact on Anderson Lehman, so he also used some other methods to protect Anderson Lehman's spirit.
But even so, Anderson Lehman is an ordinary person after all, and he will be more or less impacted, according to Leo's prediction, Anderson Lehman should need at least ten minutes to recover to his senses, but what he didn't expect is that Anderson Lehman was able to return to normal after he was just out of the power of the webweaver's blessing, and he was able to return to normal and think, which shows that Anderson Lehman's willpower and mental power have reached the limit of ordinary people.
Anderson Lehman frowned when he heard Leo's answer, although he didn't know what the god of death was and the weaver of the net, he could understand what Leo meant by death.
"Can you see the deaths of others?" asked Anderson Lehman in a deep voice.
Leo casually made up a lie and said, "Only the dying can see it, as it is now." ”
Anderson Lehman said with a serious expression: "So many people are all going to die?"
"Yes, all of them will die, including you, the general. As Leo said this, he deliberately looked up at Anderson Lehman's head.
Although Anderson Lehman couldn't see the mirror image above his head, he could imagine in his mind that there might be a black silk thread above his head connected to the big net in the sky. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shudder.
"What do I need to do?" asked Anderson Lehman in a deep voice.
Leo said: "Our director has already brought people to protect Mitty Grant, and what Your Excellency has to do is to stop the Navy from arresting Mitty Grant. ”
Leo asked Anderson Lehman to do this very simple, because with Anderson Lehman's prestige and influence, it is not difficult to stop the Navy from capturing a person, but the problem is that this person is different, she is the murderer of Hoover Hansen, and the contradiction between Anderson Lehman and Hoover Hansen is no secret in the Navy's upper echelons, and he is now preventing the Navy from arresting the murderer, what does this make others think? Undoubtedly, everyone will wonder if this killer could have been instigated by Anderson Lehman.
Although, in the absence of conclusive evidence, the Navy will not blame a high-ranking person like Anderson Lehman, but he will also lose influence on the Navy's upper echelons, even his students will no longer follow his orders, and he will have no other way to go except retirement.
Because in the eyes of the Navy, he has broken the rules.
It is normal to have revenge, and within the huge group of the Navy, all kinds of grudges are not uncommon, and two colleagues who often meet and cooperate may be two enemies who want to kill each other.
It's just that no matter how big the grudge is, you must do things according to certain rules. Or find something unknown about the enemy, and use it to bring down the enemy through official means and send him to a prison that will never turn over. Either they use their justifiable positions to send the enemy to a dangerous place and use the enemy's means to get rid of the enemy.
No matter what method is used, it must be used in a reasonable and legal method that is officially recognized, just like Anderson Lehman used various methods to make things difficult and squeeze out Hoover Hansen before, even if Hoover Hansen has to choose to leave the Navy and engage in politics, the Navy will not blame Anderson Lehman's approach, because this practice is recognized.
But assassinating one's own enemy is the greatest taboo in every way, because if you can find someone to assassinate your enemy today, then you can find someone to assassinate your political enemy tomorrow, and then the whole situation will be completely chaotic.
"Do you know what the consequences of my doing this are?" said Anderson Lehman in a deep voice.
"Yes. Leo nodded.
Anderson Lehman grimaced and said, "You gave me a hard time. ”
Leo said in a deep voice, "It's not a problem, because you don't have a choice. ”
Anderson Lehman said with some indignation, "Why me? Why not that old fellow Richard? Isn't he the Admiral? He is more suitable than me to stop the Navy's arrest." ”
Leo didn't answer, he couldn't tell Anderson Lehman that he was the easiest to find in the Navy right now, and there was little need to look for it, just wait at the pastry shop.
Anderson Lehman was silent for a long time before he said something incorrect: "I have been in the Navy for almost sixty years, from the first time I saw a warship leave the port when I was seven years old, I knew what I should do, I thought I would stay in the Navy for the rest of my life, and I knew the day I died, but now I ......" He paused again and said: "If what you said is true, I will help you prevent the Navy from capturing Mitty Grant." But I can only stop part of it, Hoover Hansen has a group of die-hard radicals under his command, and they will definitely not be influenced by me. ”
"Can you tell me who those people are and where they're gathered?" asked Leo.
"What do you want to do?" Anderson Lehman said with a frown and extreme displeasure, "If something happens to them, it will only make people think that I am using force to drive out the Hoover Hansen family." No matter how influential I am, I am afraid that I will not be able to prevent the Navy from arresting Mitty Grant. ”
"Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt them, I'm just going to trap them until Mitty Grant leaves," Leo said, gesturing around, "just this way." ”
Anderson Lehman looked at Leo with a little meaning, closed his eyes slightly and was silent for a moment, and said: "The Sea Spear Tavern in the Queen's District, that is Hoover Hansen's property, and it is also the place where his family gathers, whenever something big happens, they will gather there in advance to discuss how to deal with it. If what you're saying is true, then those guys should all be gathering at the Sea Spear Tavern by now. ”
"Okay, then let's go our separate ways!" After getting the desired response, Leo stood up and prepared to leave.
"Wait, what if I don't be able to stop the Navy's arrest?" Anderson Lehman asked as he suddenly stopped Leo.
Leo was silent for a moment and said, "Pray, pray to the gods you believe in." ”
After saying that, he saw Leo's body disappear in front of Anderson Lehman like an aerosol, and the door of the pastry shop in front of him was restored to its original state.
"General Lehman, when did you come? Are you here to get the custom-made pastries? You'll have to wait a while......" At this time, the pastry shop owner, who had not seen before, walked out of the baking room behind with a box of pastries, and was stunned for a moment when he saw Anderson Lehman sitting on a chair, and then stepped forward to greet him.
Anderson Lehman ignored the pastry shop owner, stood up, and left the pastry shop directly, returning to the carriage waiting outside.
The adjutant who was waiting next to the carriage found that Anderson Lehman was not holding the pastry as usual, and his serious expression was completely different from just now, so he asked suspiciously, "Dean, is something happening?"
Anderson Lehman hesitated for a moment and asked, "Did you just notice something wrong outside, like a pastry shop?"
"No, it's normal. The adjutant looked at his commander with some puzzlement, and said, "It's that you've been in the pastry shop for a little longer." ”
Listening to the adjutant's words, Anderson Lehman thought for a moment and ordered, "Now go to the Navy Department immediately." ”
On the other hand, Leo, who had left the pastry shop, immediately rushed to the tavern mentioned by Anderson Leo, not worrying at all that Anderson Leo would say that he would stop the arrest of Mitty Grant by the top of the Navy, but in fact he would do nothing. Because anyone who sees the scene provided by Leo will be shocked and frightened, and will never have any other thoughts.
What's more, after convincing Anderson Lehman, Leo tried to look at the weaver's threads, and he saw that the weavers' threads represented the death of the black color that was very light, and many of the threads had begun to break and disappear, indicating that the crisis was being resolved.
However, even so, there are still some stubborn black lines, and the direction of these black lines is very coincidentally in the place where Leo is going.
It didn't take much time for Leo to arrive at the Sea Spear Tavern in the Queen's District, which was easily recognizable, and the entire tavern was shaped like a large ship, but this kind of building was not very conspicuous in the city of Queen's District, which was famous for its bizarre architecture.
For Leo, the reason for the tavern's striking prominence was not the tavern's strange shape, but the black webweaver's silk threads that fell from the sky, which were so dark and translucent that they were almost comparable to those Leo had seen in the theater company's camp, which meant that the people gathered in the tavern were also one of the causes of the disaster.
If you follow Leo's idea, break in directly, knock out all the people in the tavern, and then imprison until Mitty Grant leaves, anyway, there will be a special bureau to take the blame afterwards, after all, under Leo's deliberate guidance just now, Anderson Lehman thinks that he is a member of the special bureau, and if he looks for trouble, he will only find trouble with the special bureau.
However, Leo only thought about it, because if he did so, it would be equivalent to forming a mortal enmity with a group of key naval officers. It may not be possible for these people to find Leo in a short period of time after the fact, but after a long time, especially when Frank Fussen retires, the Special Bureau probably will not hide the content about him, in that case, unless he kills all these guys, he must always be on guard against the retaliation of these stalwart officers of the navy.
Leo did not rush into the tavern, but walked around the tavern, and every time he found a suitable place to place the rune traps, he quickly placed six rune traps in the right place, and according to the scope of the rune traps, this tavern could be completely covered.
Once it was set up, Leo walked straight towards the entrance of the tavern, and as he reached the entrance, he flipped over the sign that hung at the door of the tavern and closed the door with his hand.
Leo's undisguised movements were naturally watched by a waiter and two security guards guarding the door, and when they were about to come forward to question Leo, Leo raised his hand and cast a witcher's magic seal.
The power of the seal hypnotized the three of them in an instant, and Leo took the opportunity to order the three of them to close the other entrances and exits of the store.
Then directly activate the rune trap outside the shop, dragging the entire tavern into a mirror world constructed by Turing roots, magic runes, and other powers.
While these people were trapped, most of them did not feel anything unusual, and were still hotly discussing how to find the assassin of their leader, and if the assassin was caught, it seemed that they had not yet received news from the royal family and parliament from the navy.
The reason why they discussed so fiercely was not just because of their grief and anger over the death of the leader, but also because of the various legacies left by the leader.
Hoover Hansen has secretly built a large-scale secret organization over the years, and has also accumulated a large amount of wealth, and these wealth are all in the name of the organization, and only Hoover Hansen can determine the ownership of these wealth.
It's just that Hoover Hansen never imagined that he would die so suddenly, so suddenly that he didn't have time to leave a will for the organization's legacy, so that the organization's legacy became ownerless.
If it were just an ordinary organization, this situation would have been overwhelmed, but Hoover Hansen trained several outstanding talents for the organization, and these talents stabilized the situation with their usual prestige, and today brought all the leaders of the organization together to discuss the matter of avenging the leader and the inheritance of the organization.
At first, no one relented, after all, this did not only represent wealth, but also the position of the new leader of the organization, and anyone with the slightest ambition would not give up this opportunity to climb to the top of the power.
The little bosses who asked themselves that they were not capable and qualified to become heirs did not stand by and watch, and they each stood behind the people with whom they had a good relationship and who were qualified as heirs. They may not be able to reap the maximum benefits, but if their chosen successor becomes the new leader of the organization, they will be able to reap significant benefits.
After some discussion, they finally came to the conclusion that whoever first found and captured the assassin of Hoover Hansen, and found the mastermind behind the assassin, then whoever could become the second leader.
