Chapter Twenty-Nine: Awakening Again
Opposite the Port Tulun City Hall, across the huge Town Hall Square, surrounded by greenery, is the famous Golden Fleece Club of the Port of Tulun.
Unlike the Pink Mermaid, which is a pure entertainment nest, the Golden Fleece Club belongs to the serious social circle of high society, and is the private reserve of the top few people in the port of Tulum.
Even the little scoundrels on the streets of Port Tulun have heard this saying: Work hard to become a member of the Port Tulun Council, and you will be eligible to apply to join the Golden Fleece; By becoming a member of the Golden Fleece, you can become a member of the Tulum Port Council at any time.
On the eighteenth day of the year of 1379, Hesse spent the whole morning in his suite with the Golden Fleece.
A few perennial veteran partners played cards with Hesse all morning, and Hesse won more than 800 gold marks, and his mood became very happy inexplicably.
At noon, in the small dining room of the suite, several people tasted the lamb brought from the highland kingdom of Brandi, and shared a bottle of 120-year-old gold label rum.
Hesse was about to propose that everyone go to the billiard room to play a few elegant games of snooker while raising the stakes a little, and he saw the first rocket rising in the direction of the docks through the arched floor-to-ceiling windows.
There was a muffled 'bang'.
In the huge suite, almost all the furnishings and furniture shook slightly at the same time, and all the gold and silver utensils were subjected to some kind of invisible shock, making a 'buzzing' resonance sound, and more than a dozen delicate and slender crystal utensils inexplicably shattered on the shelves, and exploded into countless small fragments and fell to the ground.
The old friends who played cards with Hesse turned pale, and their breathing became extremely difficult, as if a huge sandbag had pressed against their chests.
They looked at Hesse in awe.
Hesse, who was already burly, was now more than three inches taller than usual, his body became more and more fierce, and his demeanor was extremely fierce.
This is the majesty that the head of the Ritu family should have in their hearts.
"Something happened to Joe, but it's not Blood Rose, it's not bad." Hesse muttered, he stretched out his hand, took the coat handed over by the guards next to him, and nodded to a few old friends: "Then, another day, ha, a thousand gold marks, whoever wins, please ......"
Outside, a muffled explosion was faintly heard again.
Through the arched floor-to-ceiling windows on the other side of the suite, you can see the direction of the district court, and another rocket explodes into the air to form a golden rose.
"Tifa!" Hesse's eyes were faintly bloodshot, and he exclaimed in amazement: "Does anyone think I'm too old to hold a knife?" Oh, they must be wrong about one thing, I'm not even fifty yet! ”
Taking a deep breath, a strong wind inexplicably set off in the suite, blowing the newspapers on the newspaper shelves in the corner of the room.
Hesse nodded to a few old friends, then strode to the door, pushed open the heavy oak door, and rushed out into the corridor like an angry bear.
The adjacent suites were reserved rooms for the members of the Committee of Seven, and at the door of the suites belonging to the Wells and Turing families, several leading figures belonging to the two families were standing there with surprised expressions.
"Master Ritu, it's your family......" Kikal Rong Turing, the younger brother of the current head of the Turing family, and the powerful person in charge of some of the Turing family's secret transactions, a short and sturdy man, greeted Hesse.
Then, a faint third explosion was heard.
Because of the distance, the sound of the explosion was indistinct, and it was impossible to hear where it was coming from. A Vetul guard rushed from the other side of the hallway, strode up to Hesse, and whispered something in his ear.
The third rocket, rising from the direction of Mount St. Hilde.
In that direction, it could be Leah, or it could be Wima.
Hesse was like a lion before eating, he clicked his mouth, licked his upper lip with his tongue, and shaved his two big beards with his right thumb, shaving them shiny like two scimitars.
He suddenly lowered his head, hugged Kikal, and kissed him the forehead.
Pushing Kikal back at a loss, Hesse strode to the door of the next suite, hugged Modell's own nephew, Van Luersen Jung Wells, who was in charge of the armed sailors of the Wells family, as he did with Kikal, and then left an affectionate greeting on his forehead.
When Van Luxen rushed at Hesse, he moved violently to dodge.
But Hesse moved so fast that he didn't have time to dodge, and when Hesse hugged him like a wild bear hugging a chicken, Van Ulsen tried to struggle, but Hesse's arm was almost as thick as his waist, and a terrible force strangled him, almost crushing all the bones in his upper body.
Van Ulsen could only let Hesse do whatever he wanted, and at the same time he had the most direct understanding of the terrifying power that Hesse possessed.
It's monster-like power!
Van Ulsen finally understood how Hesse had violently entered the market in the past ten years, grabbing such a large territory and so much trade share from the hands of the most powerful families in Port Tulum.
This is not only because the Rittal family has a thick thigh, Hesse's personal strength is the absolute guarantee for the crazy expansion of the Rittal family.
Hesse let go of Van Ulsen, in front of Wells and several important members of the Turing family, and in front of a dozen or so people who were with them who were also big names in Port Tulum, of which there were as many as ten members of the Port Tulun Council alone.
Hesse grinned, revealing two rows of large, slightly yellowed teeth: "Kikal, Van Luxen, it's not dinner time yet." At dinner, you can eat as much as you want, eat whatever you want, and don't leave regrets in your life. ”
Pulling out the hundreds of gold marks he had just won, Hesse threw the notes in Van Luxen's face as if he were calling for a flower.
Van Ulthon was so angry with this insulting gesture that his face darkened, but he did not dare to move.
Hesse grinned: "Kikal, Van Luxen, you are unlucky, I ran into it at this time...... So, if my family is injured, I will pay it back a hundredfold, and the first target is you! ”
Kikal's and Van Luxen's faces contorted, and both of them roared at the same time: "Hesse, do you think we will be afraid of you? ”
'Haha, haha, hahaha'!
Hesse looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, and the laughter shook the loud, long corridor 'buzzing' straight, shaking the eardrums of the people present with severe pain, and subconsciously covering their ears.
Hesse walked away surrounded by a large group of family guards, and several of the Vetul family guards with fierce faces and scars on their faces unabashedly lifted their coats as they walked past Kikal and Van Luxen, revealing the various murder weapons hanging from their waists.
Kikal and Van Luxon glanced at each other, and the two walked silently towards the other end of the corridor, and escaped from the Golden Fleece Club as fast as they could, from the stairs on the other side.
Although they said that they were not afraid of Hesse, they were really afraid.
Just now, when Hesse left an affectionate mark on their foreheads, they really felt the shadow of death.
Hesse, how dare you kill them.
Moreover, when Hesse hugged them just now, Hesse really wanted to kill them on the spot.
They were glad that Hesse still retained a shred of sanity just now, and did not really kill him.
But they no longer dared to stay in the Golden Fleece.
In the next few months, they will definitely not set foot in the Golden Fleece again!
"Send a letter to all our friends and tell them to be careful." At the door of the Golden Fleece Club, Hesse got into a four-wheeled carriage, his huge face leaning out of the window, and he whispered to the guards beside him: "Mobilize all the men who can be dispatched, and assemble at those eight preparation bases in the name of the special investigation team." ”
"Open the family's secret arsenal and get all the heavy firepower ready." Hesse's eyes had turned bright red from bloodshot to bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth and smiled: "No matter what excuse or reason, to attack the Vetul family, this is war!" ”
At Lily's doorstep, Lady Lily lay at the gate and wept bitterly.
A field gun of a hundred millicaliber, firing shotguns at close range, the radius of dispersion of the projectile is extremely concentrated.
Hundreds of large and small shotguns were evenly distributed within the diameter of less than twelve feet on the outer wall of Lily's house, and the heavy projectiles tore through the outer wall, beating this piece of wall like a sieve.
Projectiles pierced through the exquisite floor-to-ceiling windows and crashed into the first-floor lobby, shattering the intricate and fragile furnishings of the hall.
Fortunately, during the shelling, the girls of Lily's house were at the gate to bid farewell to Mrs. Lily, who had gone to collect the debt, and there was no one at the location where the shell hit.
There were no innocent casualties, which is a great blessing in misfortune.
Surrounded by a large group of family guards, Joe had already come to the field gun.
As soon as the cannon was fired, a large mass of scarlet mist erupted from the field artillery. Several of the attackers were shot and killed by Joe's bodyguards, both the guards who shot and the dead attackers, all of whom had large scarlet mist pouring out of them.
Obviously, the scarlet mist that gushed out of the slain attackers, as well as the several police detectives who were killed, was more than ten times stronger than the scarlet aura that flowed from the guards of the Vetu family.
A thick scarlet fog rolled in all directions, quickly covering an area of hundreds of feet.
In this area, the guards shrouded in scarlet aura, their breathing was short, their eyes were slightly red, their hearts were beating faster, and everyone was inexplicably in a strange euphoria.
In ordinary parlance, it was all of these guards who were in combat mode.
The crimson glow flickered in Joe's pupils, and the scarlet mist that ordinary people couldn't see at all was like a long whale sucking water, 'whooshing' was quickly absorbed by his two eyes, and disappeared without a trace in a single breath.
The scorching heat hit, and Joe felt that his two eyeballs seemed to be burned by flames, and after a sharp pain that made him almost scream, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a new vision that had never been seen before suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
A roar from the depths of his soul reverberated in Joe's mind.
"In my crimson name!"
