Chapter 515: The Banquet Hall's Gamble

Inside the ward, the expression on the little nurse's face was petrified, because almost all the holographic TV channels in Sifang City were broadcasting Zhou Sen's heroic deeds, and the pictures of his battles did not stop.

That's right, Zhou Sen is a hero, a superhero.

The little nurse repeatedly confirmed that Zhou Sen was indeed the superhero of Sifang City.

The little nurse looked at it, so annoyed that she wanted to hit the wall, she never dreamed that Zhou Sen, who had been sneered at by herself for a day, was actually a superhero in Sifang City, and a prince charming in the minds of countless girls.

No wonder the old woman in the head nurse looked like she was jumping on her feet......

……

Zhou Sen was taken to a secret mansion in the city of Sifang.

A common feature of all human secret residences is that they look ordinary at first glance, and the buildings are low, but if you get closer, you will find that every detail of these inconspicuous buildings is unique and of extraordinary quality.

Of course, the so-called secret mansions are not accessible to ordinary people, so in the eyes of ordinary people, these buildings hidden in the lush trees are some private territories, and there is nothing surprising about them.

In a conference room in the secret mansion, the important people of the Howard family have gathered, and now, they are holding a meeting about the future of the Howard family.

There were nine people attending the meeting, and in addition to Duke Thomas, the other eight were all core figures of the Howard family's power, known as the Eight Elders.

Now, the Howard family is deeply divided.

Duke Thomas thinks that he should ally with the three princesses, but the other eight people strongly oppose Duke Thomas's decision, because they believe that now that the Ronnie Empire has existed in name only, the only known members of the royal family are Prince Charles, who left with Chen Dao, and a third princess. Prince Charles is young, and he is not enough to have an impact on the five star fields, and he cannot recruit the old department of the Ronnie Empire, so there are only three princesses left.

The third princess seems to be strong now, but in fact, in addition to the armed forces around her, her own influence is insignificant, because, the third princess did not have any position in the military of the Ronnie Empire before, nor did she have any connections, although there are many armed forces and former government forces attached to her, it is only because she is a member of the royal family, and those dependent forces are not completely controlled by her, and if there is a slight disturbance, those warlord families will change their flags, after all, it is not the first time that they have betrayed the Ronnie Empire.

The eight elders believe that the Howard family has been restrained by the royal family of the Ronnie Empire for more than 700 years, and they finally waited for this opportunity to get rid of the royal family of the Ronnie Empire, so they naturally cannot miss the opportunity.

"Guys, have you forgotten what happened to the Duke of Windsor?!" Duke Thomas glanced at everyone indifferently.

"Lord Duke, this time and that time!" A gray-haired patriarch said disapprovingly.

"Yes, if we miss this opportunity, we will be tied to the royal family of the Ronnie Empire forever, and the current royal family is a third princess except for a weak-crowned boy, can we expect them to revive the Ronnie Empire?"

"Yes, it is said that Prince Charles went to do public welfare, and the public welfare organization was managed by Chen Dao, a gangster in Majia Lane, Ronnie City, behind Chen Dao, there is also the background of Zhou Sen, the first bandit in the interstellar world, obviously, with the power of Prince Charles, he will definitely not be able to influence Chen Dao and Zhou Sen, that is to say, Chen Dao and Zhou Sen have no signs of getting involved in politics, so it means that it is impossible for him to revive the Ronnie Empire with the help of public welfare organizations. Now, our only threat is the third princess, but now that the third princess has left Ronnie, it means that she does not have the confidence to control this capital star, so this is a golden opportunity for our Howard family......" Another middle-aged elder said.

"Wait, what do you mean by once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?" Duke Thomas interrupted the senator.

"Lord Duke, now that we are in troubled times, are we Howard family resigned to the status quo?"

"Isn't the status quo bad? Our Howard family has lasted for nearly a thousand years, and our children and grandchildren are prosperous, living a decent and dignified life, but you can tell me, what is wrong with us now? ”

“……”

The eight elders glanced at each other, and then fell into a long silence.

In the end, the eyes of the seven elders fell on the white-haired patriarch, because he was the highest in the group of people and the most qualified, and all of them had to give him some face.

"Lord Duke, don't you want the yellow robe to become the Ninety-Five?" The gray-haired senator stared at Duke Thomas, who decided to have a showdown, believing that Duke Thomas would not be able to resist the temptation.

"Well, even if I want to, but there is only one throne, what benefits can you get?"

"......" The white-haired patriarch and everyone looked at each other.

"Let's not mention this matter for the time being, there is still an hour before the banquet, let's think about how to send the messenger of the third princess!" Duke Thomas said slowly.

"The third princess is also too deceitful, and she actually took advantage of the fire to rob and send troops into Sifang City!" The gray-haired patriarch snorted coldly.

"If we are strong, does she have a chance to take advantage of the fire? Besides, if she didn't take advantage of the fire to rob, it was still unknown whether Sifang City would be able to withstand the invasion of the ironclad giant cockroach. Duke Thomas frowned.

"Zhou Sen has withstood the ironclad giant cockroach disaster, don't forget, he is our employee, and besides, he also saved Young Master Nock before!" The gray-haired patriarch was unconvinced.

"But if it weren't for the Third Princess to send troops to Sifang City, Zhou Sen would probably have turned into ashes at this time, have you forgotten the armed suspension convoy!" Duke Thomas looked blank.

"No matter what, Zhou Sen is alive, and since he is alive, he can become a banner of our Sifang City. Wait a minute, let Zhou Sen meet with the envoy of the third princess, I don't believe it, the envoy of the third princess can still suppress Zhou Sen, who is in full swing. ”

"Zhou Sen is coming?!" Duke Thomas was stunned.

"I ...... I asked Sally to invite him to the banquet......"

"You guys are crazy, you let Zhou Sen meet with the messenger of the third princess, what will they think?" Duke Thomas stood up and walked away with a look of anger on his face.

The eight elders looked at each other, and they could all see that Duke Thomas was really angry, because he was notoriously good-tempered, and there was nothing like this in the world.

Now, everyone is finally dead.

It can be seen from Duke Thomas's exposure that he does not want to offend the messenger of the third princess, and he has no intention of becoming emperor......

……

A bunch of old immortal scraps!

At the banquet to receive the envoys of the three princesses, letting Zhou Sen appear was easy to cause misunderstanding among the envoys, thinking that Sifang City was demonstrating to the three princesses.

Duke Thomas left the conference room fiercely, he had to stop things from happening, Zhou Sen was too young and too sharp, and few young people who became famous could die well.

Thomas doesn't think that Zhou Sen's appearance can change the future of the Howard family and the Meteor Mecha Company, because Zhou Sen's current performance is a different from ordinary mecha fighting style, and this style is actually an opportunistic shortcut.

Thomas, as the helmsman of the Meteor Mecha Company, naturally knew that Zhou Sen's mecha fighting would not have much impact on the overall situation of the five star domains, and moreover, Zhou Sen's brutal combat style of overdrawing mecha could not be popularized on a large scale, after all, it was too bad for the mecha, and it might be useful in local battles, and in large-scale battles, the kind of combat method of killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred was completely suicidal.

The pattern and vision of Duke Thomas's ascendant did not put Zhou Sen in a very important position, in his opinion, Zhou Sen was nothing more than a vanguard, a pioneer who could win partial victories, but it had no meaning to change the overall situation.

Now, Duke Thomas is responsible for the entire Howard family, not for the gains and losses of one city and one pool.

"Where's Sally?" Duke Thomas asked Zheng Longbow.

"She's in the ballroom, Lord Duke."

"Ah...... She...... She's alone? Duke Thomas's heart sank suddenly, but he still didn't give up and asked.

"She took Anna and a new employee named Szeto Glacier."

"Is there anyone else?"

"In addition to the messenger of the third princess, there are two distinguished guests."

"Who?"

"One is Zhou Sen and the other is Joel. By the way, Joel is a member of our martial arts team and one of the candidates to be promoted to the head of the martial arts department. ”

"Take them away! Immediately! Duke Thomas said angrily.

"They are chatting with the messenger of the third princess."

"What?! Monkey business! Monkey business! Who arranged this! It's just nonsense, I didn't go, why just let them meet! What kind of diplomatic etiquette is this?! "Duke Thomas's lungs are about to explode, and for the first time in his life, he bursts out foul.

"It was arranged by the young lady, Lord Duke." Zheng Changgong hurriedly said. This pot can only be carried by Sally, because no one can carry it.

"Inform all the important people of the Howard family and go to the banquet hall immediately!" Duke Thomas felt like he was about to collapse, and he couldn't believe that in his own home, things could get out of control so much.

"Yes, Lord Duke." Zheng Changgong glanced at the attendants beside him, and the attendants immediately hurried to inform him.

"What a faux pas! Nonsense, it's just nonsense! Let's go, let's go over first, you find a chance to take Zhou Sen and Joel away, and it's best to take Sally away! ”

"Yes, Lord Duke."

"What's Zhou Sen's personality?" Duke Thomas asked Zheng Longbow.

"I don't know the specifics, but judging from his performance in Steel Paradise, this person is a bit young and vigorous." Zheng Changgong showed admiration on his face.

Youthful and vigorous!

Finished!

Finished!

Duke Thomas strode towards the banquet hall with a gloomy face.

It's easy to please God, but it's hard to send God!

No one knows better than Duke Thomas the importance of this meeting with the envoys of the Three Princesses. The third princess asked to meet with Duke Thomas many times when she was in Ronnie City, but this time, she sent someone directly, and not in person, and in the case of the garrison of Sifang City.

The most important thing is that the third princess is now in outer space, and her fleet is cruising near Ronnie.

Obviously, this is a demonstration, and if you are not careful, the city will be attacked by the fleet fire from space, and this is why Thomas is trying to disagree.

Although the Sifang City is impregnable, it is only for some ground troops and ironclad cockroaches, in the face of the starfleet in outer space, the defense of the Sifang City is like paper paste, even an interstellar warship can easily destroy the Sifang City, let alone a fleet.

Of course, under normal circumstances, Starfleet would not attack residential cities, but now that the war is in chaos, who can guarantee that the third princess will not take advantage of the fire to rob, after all, Sifang City has rejected her many times before......

……

Hopefully, it's still too late!

Duke Thomas strode to the door of the banquet hall, and then, with a pause, tried to adjust the expression on his face to the best state.

Although Duke Thomas is anxious now, he is the head of a clan and the lord of a city, so naturally he can't lose his demeanor.

After Duke Thomas finished adjusting, he forced a smile and walked towards the banquet hall inside, and when he walked into the banquet hall, the expression on his face was petrified.

The huge ballroom was empty but noisy, for everyone was gathered in a corner of the ballroom, and he saw his youngest daughter, Sally, standing on tiptoe to look into the crowd, holding a handful of banknotes in her hand and waving them desperately into it.

What's going on?

What about the messenger of the three princesses?

Duke Thomas walked over a little nervously, and when he walked over, the whole person was dumbfounded, because a group of people were actually betting.

Zazhuang is a handsome young man, who is stepping on the coffee table and letting everyone bet.

What made Duke Thomas vomit blood was that Zhou Sen was sitting on the edge of the sofa keeping accounts, and there was a portable light brain next to him, and the holographic screen projected by the light brain was the page for betting.

Of course, there is something even more outrageous, that is, several messengers of the three princesses are also betting......

……

"Ahem!" Unable to bear it, Thomas coughed heavily.

The first to react was Anna.

When Anna found out about Duke Thomas, she was so frightened that she quickly elbowed Sally.

"Ah...... Daddy, hurry! Fast! Bet on it, Situ Glacier is open, and we all win next week...... Yes...... Daddy, you're here......" Sally didn't react at first, but when she saw her father's stunned face, she immediately reacted, and she shrank her neck in fright and turned around and shouted to Situ Glacier in the crowd: "Situ Glacier, Situ Glacier, my father is here, my father is here!" ”

No one paid attention to Sally.

People were betting enthusiastically, and the messengers kept analyzing Egg's mecha fighting skills with Zhou Sen.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Duke is here!" Zheng Changgong on the side couldn't bear it and said in a loud voice.

Lord Duke!

"Lord Duke" was apparently much more effective than "My father is coming", and the people dispersed, and several messengers became seated.

Zhou Sen hurriedly turned off the portable light brain.

However, there is one person who still ignores the existence of Duke Thomas.

Situ Glacier!

"Old man, don't panic, make a bet first!" Situ Glacier stepped on the coffee table and said to Duke Thomas with a big grin.
