As vice chairman of the Europa Executive Committee and director of the Europa External Action Service, Clote Gaion, a close confidant of Napoleon VII, was the first to walk out of the conference room, he first shook hands with the chubby Kaminis, the representative of the Athens police, and watched him leave with a blank face, before holding off his round-framed metal glasses and looking down to read the minutes handed by Pierre.

The minutes of the meeting were so poignant that the two sides broke up after barely a few words, and there was so little that could be recorded other than information about Hydra.

The Greek authorities only sent one Athens police chief, Kaminis, to negotiate, that is, they made up their minds not to pay attention to the joint forces of the Europa Executive Committee, the Europa Police Liaison and Interpol.

The late autumn sun shone through the window on the minutes of the meeting, and Cloe Gayon glanced at Kaminis's speech at the meeting and saw the last sentence: "Then there is no need to talk about it, I suggest that you should go to Ukraine to trace the source, and not make trouble in our Athens." ”

Kamenis's impatient expression was vividly visible, and Cloe Gaion had sensed the difficulty of the matter, and it seemed like an impossible task to coerce the Greek authorities to cooperate through public opinion. Cloe Gayon rolled his throat, pulled out his pen and signed his name on the paper, then raised his hands and rubbed his temples.

Doing things under Napoleon VII was equally rewarding and stressful, and Napoleon VII was the quintessential heroic leader, who treated power as his life and made decisions autocraticly. The orders issued need to be completed by the subordinates to the letter, and heavy penalties will be imposed if they cannot be completed, and high rewards will be given to those who have completed or can exceed the quota.

In the search for the "Lord of the Plague", Cloe Gaion had already missed once, and did not find any clues, much to the displeasure of Napoleon VII. Although Napoleon VII comforted him on the surface, Cloe Gaion knew that he could not complete his task again this time, and that he would definitely be excluded from Napoleon VII's leadership team.

This puts Klott Gaion under pressure.

Pierre saw that his boss was not in a very good mood, he shouldn't have touched his head, but the matter was at this point, and escaping was not the solution to the problem, so he hesitated and whispered, "What now?" After all, this is a matter of hundreds of thousands of livelihoods, and they estimate that there are at least 700,000 poor people who depend on Hydra for their lives, and not only for underground business, but also about 40 percent of Greek handicrafts, 60 percent of leather products, and 30 percent of textiles in the entire Hydra slums....... In addition to these, the poor living in Hydra also provided cheap labor for the taxi industry, barbecue shops, and a large number of service industries..... Most of these people are stateless, and if they were to be forcibly purged, it would be a big problem for the Greek authorities to cause social unrest, compared to the suffering of more than 30 minors?"

Pierre pointed to the core of the problem, and Klott Gaion couldn't help frowning, "Nothing else, just ask for money, but in the current situation of the Europa League, where can I give money to Greece?"

Pierre sighed and said: "It's not a little money, I think we spent tens of millions of euros to clean up a slum of tens of thousands of people in the Calais jungle, and the size of Hydra is hundreds of thousands of times that of the Calais jungle...... It is not too much for Greece to ask for 10 billion euros in unconditional aid......"

"Ten billion euros?" Cloe Gaion snorted coldly, "Do you think that Kaminis's attitude today is that he only wants ten billion euros?"

Pierre spread his hands and whispered: "Then what should I do? If I can't get the money, even if the public opinion is fierce, the Greek officials will not do anything to Hydra." ”

"I'll first tell Your Excellency the Divine General to see the official attitude of Greece, and see how much His Excellency the Divine General intends to pay to promote this matter.......

——————————————————————

After dismissing his subordinates, Clott Gaion left the hotel alone and walked along the road towards the rented villa not far away. Expecting to stay for a long time, they rented a villa in the name of Europa Action, which he didn't live alone, because the funds were not sufficient, and several people lived with him.

On the cool breeze of October in Athens, Cloe Gaion wrapped her scarf tightly and began to sort out the whole thing in her head.

In fact, Cloe Gaion knew in his heart that Napoleon VII would not back down from what he said, and for Napoleon VII, destroying the Black Death forces on the continent of Europa to make money was just an appearance, and his ultimate goal was to establish an organization of the Chosen One like the "Taiji Dragon" that was truly affiliated with the state.

To put it more bluntly, Napoleon VII must eradicate the Black Death in order to expand power, and the current Europa Chosen Ones, such as the French Iris, although it is the Chosen One organization in the name of the country, are all composed of parliamentarians and their relatives, and their Uloboros is a hereditary inheritance, so the Iris is very weak for the binding force of individuals.

Napoleon VII wanted to command these hereditary officials and lords It was even more difficult than ascending to the sky, and issuing an order would be disputed for half a month. What Napoleon VII needed now was an organization of the Chosen One.

Therefore, the defeat of the "Black Death" became an inevitable option, but not necessarily for Germany and Greece.

Especially Greece.

Klote Gaion knows this, and the Greek authorities have nothing to fear, and this is also based on this. Europa's upper echelons are well aware of the current situation in Europa. After the "Paris Terrorist Attack" and the "Battle of Christianfield", Europa was still in a state of disintegration, involving the distribution of interests and responsibilities of all parties, and the internal differences were still very large, and there were still deep contradictions in wanting to integrate into one. If it weren't for the fact that Napoleon VII was a god general, and the Internet was still very popular, the current Europa League might have fallen apart.

Although Napoleon VII had unprecedented prestige among the people, and he also defeated many capitalists and helped the old aristocracy seize power, Napoleon VII wanted to build a new Europa with Europa characteristics, which touched the interests of too many people.

At present, Napoleon VII has only the Europa Executive Committee and the Europa External Action Service, which are mainly members of the Rosicrucian Society, at his disposal.

The Europa Parliament, the Europa Council, and the Central Bank of Europa, which were able to decide the future of Europa, were half-hearted for and against Napoleon VII. If Napoleon VII had forcibly wanted to push his own plan to the ground, involving such a large amount of compensation, the probability of a vote not going through can be said to be 100 percent.

Napoleon VII won great prestige in France because of the "Paris terrorist attacks", which gave Napoleon VII the ability to persuade the parliament to bear most of the expenditures, but the "Paris terrorist attacks" further expanded France's fiscal deficit, and the French Ministry of Finance had no money at all.

Put it to Cloe Gaion, that is, it is not that he does not want to solve this problem, but that it is within his authority, and there is no such possibility. Greece is officially Yemeni clear about this, so even if he has a dog sign of "Vice Chairman of the Europa Executive Committee and Director of Europa External Operations", the Greek authorities only sent an Athens police chief, Kaminis, to meet with him.

After the thoughtful Clotter Gaion returned to the villa, he pondered for a long time, until he thought clearly that the "Hydra" was indeed not caught, so he took out his satellite phone and dialed Napoleon VII's phone, and the old butler Morris answered the phone, explaining that he had something to report, and after waiting for a while, Clott Gaion heard Napoleon VII's voice.

The man's voice was always so firm that Clott Gaion couldn't help but feel that nothing could stump him. But no matter how you look at the plan for "Hydra", it is a castle in the air, not to mention the powerful second god general "Nebuchadnezzar", and even the first threshold of sweeping "Hydra" - the Greek official, it is difficult for them to deal with it.

Without the consent of the Greek authorities, trying to eradicate the Black Death in Europa's largest criminal organization, Hydra, and flattening "Hydra" is tantamount to a fool's dream.

After a brief greeting, Cloe Gaion said solemnly: "Your Highness, the Athenian side only sent the police commissioner Kaminis to talk to me, it seems that the Athenian side means to limit the incident to the detection of the case, and find a few scapegoats to calm down public opinion." ”

"And how do they treat you?"

"This ......," Cloe Gaion smiled wryly, deciding to tell the truth, "not very well, Kamenis almost threw the newspapers that ran the Black Death and the Thirty Lolita Dolls in my face, accusing us of using the 'Europa Police Agency' and 'Interpol' to do something...... It didn't take a few minutes to talk in total, and Kaminis said that the case could be investigated, but it was up to them to take the lead, and we could only assist in the investigation, and I disagreed, so he laughed at us, saying that we should go to Ukraine to find the source, and there was no need to waste time in Athens, and then he got up and left......."

"Uh-huh~~~~~"

Napoleon VII did not show anger or surprise, but only let out a long groan without much emotion, and Cloe Gaion closed his eyes, and after repeated struggles in his heart, he whispered: "Maybe we have not put enough pressure on Athens in public opinion, and we have to find a way to arouse more people's attention, sympathy and righteous indignation......"

"Tell me, what do you think. ”

Clote Gaion was silent for a moment, took a deep breath and said what he thought against his will, "Perhaps, we can get some videos and photos of the victims, although some are immoral, it will cause greater psychological trauma to those victims, and it will also expose ......"

"Claude, I know what you're thinking, but there's no need to talk to a cruel and bloody criminal organization like the Black Death about procedural justice, or human rights and privacy. ”

"Okay, I see, Your Highness. ”

"No, you don't understand yet, to see laundry detergent and white helmets, you need more than just a few photos and sensational text, you need a complete chain of evidence and an authoritative and incendiary spokesperson. Napoleon VII on the other end of the line paused for a moment before continuing, "I shouldn't have taught you this. ”

Claude Gaion Khan rained down and whispered, "Thank you for your teachings. ”

"I know a director who is very good at making documentaries, he can accurately grasp the opportunities of the public, you can have a good chat with him, and when the filming is over, I will help you push it. ”

"However, it seems that putting pressure on the Athenian side from the perspective of public opinion is far from enough, and it will not solve the problem of resettlement of hundreds of thousands of refugees in Hydra, and the Athenian side will certainly not fully cooperate. ”

"What if you make Hydra a destabilizing factor? You've got to figure out how to ...... that."

Cloe Gaion asked, somewhat stunned, "What do you mean?"

"Find the enemy or friend of the 'Hydra', don't care who he is, you have to know that they know the 'Hydra' best, and you have to rely on external forces, not just me, rely on internal forces to move things forward. ”

If making a documentary is just a sideshow, then cooperating with other criminal organizations is quite a breakthrough for Clotte Gaion, who remembers that his bottom line seems to have been repeatedly lowered by Napoleon VII, and he doesn't know if he is doing the right thing, just like when he chose to betray Philip.

Cloe Gaion subconsciously whispered, "I'm sorry, Your Highness. ”

Napoleon VII seemed to see through the uncertainty of his heart, and said lightly: "Don't say sorry, Claude, I know that you haven't changed from your previous role, you have to remember that you are no longer the affairs officer of the European Security Joint Council, but the vice chairman of the Europa Executive Committee and the director of the Operations Agency, you have to think from the perspective of an official, not from the perspective of the chosen one, the interests of Europa as a whole are above all else, so don't be too pedantic Klot, let go of the moral shackles in your heart." ...... As long as our purpose is correct, then it doesn't matter what means are used, and people like you need to stand up and bear the burden of darkness for those innocent people at critical moments. ”

Once again, Cloe Gaion was persuaded by Napoleon VII, and every time he felt that he was on a less bright path, Napoleon VII always made him feel that the dawn was ahead with impassioned and heartfelt words.

"Yes, Your Highness, your subordinates will do their best. ”

———————————————————————————

Napoleon VII hung up the phone, handed the phone to Maurice, shook his head and said: "This Klot, he is too weak, he always pushes to move things, and if he has no direction, he will not know where to go, and he lacks the decisiveness to become a general...... If it weren't for the fact that he was really useless, and he was a good person to control, he really wouldn't be a suitable person......"

After Morris took the phone, he seemed to think for a while before saying: "Maybe you should send Bastian to assist Mr. Cloethe, although Mr. Cloeter acts calmly, but he is not decisive enough, Bastian is a little impulsive, but he dares to fight, just enough to neutralize with Mr. Cloeter." ”

"I see, Maurice, you wish I could give my retainers more opportunities to exercise, and I know they're eager to try, but it's not the right time yet. ”

Saying that, Napoleon VII walked along the promenade towards the small hall in the garden, and Maurice followed Napoleon VII in silence.

Unlike the bleak rain outside the window of the living room, the garden outside the promenade is bright in spring, and the winter garden is one of the symbols of the aristocratic manor of Europa. Gardening and collecting rare plants were once the most fashionable hobbies of the European aristocracy in the 17th and 19th centuries, and in order to enjoy the beautiful flowers and duties like treasures in winter, the Europa people designed glass greenhouses. When winter comes, the flowers are in full bloom, the greenery is everywhere, and the warm space full of exotic atmosphere has become a haven for the top Europa aristocracy.

The current "Winter Garden" is a product of the 19th century, although it is very old, but it is very well preserved, and it is certainly not as shocking as it was in the past, but the beauty and grandeur are still fresh. Tall palm trees soar into the glass dome, emerald green plantains and birds of paradise contrast with each other, and the style of tropical plants and European-style marble statue fountains form a stark collision, reconciling the magic of nature and the magic of man, forming a unique beauty.

The small glass hall in the garden is also in a distinct French Renaissance style, with white nine-square lattice glass windows erected to the clear glass dome, if there is sunlight, it must be a golden piece here, and it is an excellent place to drink afternoon tea.

It's a pity that today's weather is gloomy, and it can only be illuminated by the sun lamp overhead, which is far less effective than the sun, but it also illuminates the whole small hall as beautifully.

At this moment, a young man in a black suit is sitting leisurely next to a gorgeous coffee table made of white marble and wood carvings, his whole body is sunk into a brown leather sofa, holding a pure white bone china teacup, and the heat is slowly rising in the light.

Napoleon VII walked into the coffee table, Maurice moved the sofa for him, Napoleon VII sat down elegantly, looked at the table full of brightly colored French pastries have not been touched, smiled and said: "Lucas, is it that the dim sum is not appetizing?"

"No, no, my honorable Highness, I am like those butterflies, attracted by the beauty of the garden, and forget about these delicious foods. ”

Napoleon VII glanced at the garden with a few cherished butterflies fluttering their wings among the flowers, and the sunlamps, manjushri, gerberas, and those gorgeous butterflies created a bright spring scene, but now it was really winter. Napoleon VII smiled and said: "Although in the new era of convenient transportation, both old and new money like to buy an island, I still like this less natural landscape, which gives me a feeling of 'fighting with the sky'......"

"'Combating god grants one boundless joy', I know this sentence, from the Chinese teacher's 'Struggle for Self-encouragement', this kind of vast spirit can only be said by a number of great people, just like the Emperor Napoleon once said: In my dictionary, there is no such word as 'impossible'....."

Napoleon VII smiled and said: "These words are the ancestors who have great causes, who can say and are qualified to say, and the descendants like us, who have achieved nothing, can only sigh at the heroism and self-confidence of their predecessors." ”

The man called "Lucas" by Napoleon VII put down the cup in his hand and said in a respectful tone that was neither humble nor arrogant: "Your Highness is really too modest, as the first chosen one to win the position of god general without relying on 'inheritance', you are also a truly admirable and strong man." ”

Napoleon VII shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I originally thought that if I became a 'god general' and had strong strength, I would be able to take revenge happily, but I didn't expect to be more tightly bound by the title of 'god general'. Napoleon VII sighed and whispered, "Now that the struggle within Europa is getting more and more intense, I have some doubts about whether it is better to keep it as it is......

Lucas couldn't tell whether Napoleon VII's decadent tone was sincere or pretended, but it didn't matter, and he quickly asked with concern: "I don't know what upset His Highness has encountered?"

Napoleon VII shook his head slightly, signaling that there was nothing wrong, and then said: "By the way, I haven't thanked you for the photos and information you gave me the 'Garden of Eden' last time......"

Lucas waved his hand, "Your Highness, it's just a few photos, you have to give me such a valuable gift, how can I accept it? ”

Napoleon VII smiled, "You know, I consider you a good friend, and if you need my help, don't be embarrassed to ask." ”

Lucas's expression became solemn, he hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Speaking of which, I do have something I want to talk to His Highness about. ”

Napoleon VII made a deferential gesture and stared at Lucas earnestly.

"You should know that 'Sullivan' is my family's investigation company, and by the way, it sells intelligence in the Inner World, but in fact, I have another ......identity with my family," Lucas paused, looked at Napoleon VII and whispered with a serious face, "My family is not the Costa family as it claims on the surface, but the Shaxx family, the Shaxx family of the Black Death, and I am the forty-fourth of the seventy-two demon gods of the Black Death - Shaxx." ”

Napoleon VII opened his mouth slightly, and made just the right amount of surprise, not too shocked, not unduly disapproving. In fact, he was quite surprised in his heart, Sullivan and Ipsos are the world's two largest consulting and research companies, and the world's largest intelligence brokers, Sullivan's headquarters is in New York, country A, and Ipsos's headquarters is in Paris.

In order to prevent information from being collected, Napoleon VII basically looked for Sullivan to buy information, and he met Sullivan's president Lucas Robert Costa a few years ago, and obtained some information about the "Garden of Eden" through Lucas a few years ago.

Napoleon VII was very calm on the surface, but he gasped in his heart, "Lucas, this news is indeed quite surprising to me, but what surprises me even more is that you will come to the door at this time." ”

Lucas raised his hand and said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't get me wrong, I don't have any intention of making peace with you and the free market and Hydra, I came here after receiving that you wanted to run a documentary and choose the Oscar." If I'm right, it's supposed to be a documentary about the Black Death, right?"

Napoleon VII didn't know what medicine Lucas was selling in the gourd, but he knew that since Lucas dared to come alone, it would definitely be beneficial to him, so he said lightly: "Then let's see, if you have anything you want to talk to me about......"

"Most people don't know much about the internal structure and operation mechanism of our Black Death, and our 'Black Death Seventy-two Demon Gods' are a bit much, but in fact, they are very rare scattered around the world. Some people who don't know much about our Black Death will mistakenly think that our 'Seventy-two Demon Gods' are seventy-two families, but in fact, we 'Seventy-two Demon Gods of the Black Death' don't recognize people, only masks and Uroboros ......"

"Only the mask...... Napoleon VII was shocked by this bloody and cruel rule, but after thinking about it, wasn't this the most primitive "social Darwinist rule" in the world? Napoleon VII was relieved and motioned for Lucas to continue.

"Yes. For example, the mask inherited by my Shaxx family is a fish face mask. Uloporos is also engraved with symbols belonging to our Shaxx family, but in fact, the name 'Shaxx family' does not depend on blood, as long as anyone can win the fish-faced mask and the Uloporos engraved with the symbol of the Shaxx family, whoever can use the name of 'Shaxx', inherit the forty-fourth position of the 'Seventy-two Demon Gods', and master the resources owned by the Shaxx family...... In other words, whoever can kill me, and take away my fish-faced mask and my Uroboros, is the master of the Shaxx family, and this does not even need to be approved by the king......"

"Is Nebuchadnezzar the 'king'?" asked Napoleon VII.

Lucas bowed his head and said solemnly, "Yes, we cannot call the king by his name, either by his name or by his king. ”

"According to you, Nebuchadnezzar had no authority over personnel, and should not have enough control over the Black Death, right?

"How so....... We are actually in a state of competition within the Black Death, and every year we, the seventy-two demon gods, have to pay a huge amount of dues to the king. Those who can complete the task will basically be exempted from the doom of being eliminated, and those who can't complete it will be directly deprived of the name of the seventy-two demon gods and replaced by others, but completing the task does not mean that they can sit back and relax, if the people at the bottom of the ranking are willing to pay a certain amount of additional dues, they can challenge the demon gods at the top of the ranking......"

Napoleon VII shook his head and said, "I didn't expect you to be a demon god and have to suffer from performance appraisals?

Lucas said with a wry smile: "Indeed, being a demon god is very stressful, but in the same way, the things that can be enjoyed are also unbelievable to ordinary people, take the powerful medical ability of the Black Death, as long as you are not killed on the spot, even if you enter brain death, as long as you can immediately find the 'plague doctor' of the Black Death, he can save you." Not only that, delaying aging and increasing life expectancy are the specialties of the Black Death, in addition to the Black Death's research on drugs is also very unique, which I believe Your Highness should have heard of. And the Black Death is fiercely competitive, but in fact, the upper demon gods are not threatened at all, the 'Supreme Four Pillars' and the 'Thirteen Demon Gods' are all families that have not changed their surnames for hundreds of years, they are not only powerful, but also financially strong, and they are not afraid of the challenge of our little demon gods, so why don't we, the little demon gods who are ranked lower, dream of becoming a big family?"

Napoleon VII shook his head again and said sympathetically: "Although I don't know much about your Black Death, I can imagine how fierce the competition between you is......" sighed, Napoleon VII said with affection, "It is not easy to grow into a large family......

Lucas, of course, understood Napoleon VII's hint, and sighed and said, "Yes! But I have not come here to think anything about the king or the Black Death." ”

"Huh?" Napoleon VII was surprised.

Lucas smiled self-deprecatingly, "The king never cares what we demon gods do, who we cooperate with, as long as we complete the performance and pay the money on time, the king never interferes with our actions, of course, if something happens, don't want to be saved, he will only take away Uroboros and the mask after you die." So I came to you, and even if the king knew about it, nothing would happen, and he wouldn't even ask. I don't think anyone in the world can be more confident than Wang......"

After saying that, Lucas fell silent, Napoleon VII did not speak, and after a long time, Napoleon VII sighed: "I really want to see the demeanor of Nebuchadnezzar." After a pause, Napoleon VII added, "The amount of money you pay each year for the Black Death is astronomical, isn't it?"

"Of course, but others may not know, but I know very well that almost all the money is spent on the research and development of biotechnology, followed by the maintenance of the Garden of Eden...... No matter how much money we pay every year, it can only be said that it is barely enough, but sadly, we still can't see the dawn of technological breakthroughs recently!"

Napoleon VII smiled and said, "I didn't expect that your Black Death was a criminal organization on the surface, but it was actually a technology company. ”

Lucas shook his head, "Most people have misconceptions about our Black Death, at first our Black Death was a doctor organization, biology and medical are our business, and the reasons for the development of a criminal organization are very complicated, but a smart person like Your Highness should know that an organization like ours is an important part of world stability, just like cities can't avoid the existence of slums." For the rich, slums are an eyesore, but for the poor they are the only homes they can live in. We are tacitly allowed to exist because we provide the most basic subsistence guarantee for the poor and smuggled refugees in the Third World, and also provide the cheapest entertainment - drugs to keep them from rioting. Although the media always likes to focus on individual slaves, 90 percent of the human trade is smuggling, and we leave a glimmer of hope for those who are struggling with war and poverty......." Lucas spread his hands, "I am not justifying our actions, from a legal point of view, we are indeed guilty, and we do reap the benefits, but there is no Black Death, there will be White Death, Yellow Death, Blue Death, just like crime will always happen, as long as human beings live in an unequal world." ”

"Lucas, I understand these truths, and I have never looked down on the Black Death, or despised your intentions, in fact, I have a lot of respect for the Second Divine General, and the Black Death. I don't think you came to see me to tell me this, or to persuade me to cooperate with the Black Death, right?"

Lucas shrugged his shoulders, "Why not?"

"It is imperative for me to clean up the free market and Hydra. Napoleon VII's voice was soft, but firm, "Even if the second god will come in person, I will say so." ”

Lucas smiled and whispered, "You are working with us at the Black Death to clean up the free market, Hydra....... The two are not in conflict......."

Napoleon VII turned the white bone china cup on the coffee table, pursed his lips tightly, looked very serious, and only after a moment did he speak: "If you Sullivan are willing to provide information, I am glad to do so, as long as it is true, the price will not be low." ”

"Your Highness, if I only wanted to sell information, I wouldn't tell you that we Sullivan were an organization under the Black Death. ”

Napoleon VII asked noncommittally: "Say what you think." ”

Lucas looked up at Maurice behind Napoleon VII, Napoleon VII knew what he meant when he heard the song, waved Maurice to step back, and when Morris left the small hall, Lucas took out the shield from his pocket, turned it on and put it on the coffee table, and said in a low voice: "Actually, I am here on behalf of Mr. Astaro, one of the four pillars of supremacy......"

"Asthalo, the sixteenth ranked Astalous on the Heavenly Rankings?"

Lucas nodded, "Yes." ”

"Interesting, Lucas, but I want you to give me a good reason, and if not, I don't guarantee that you will be able to get out of this mansion. Napoleon VII's expression was indifferent when he said that he was going to attack Lucas, and there was no indication that he was turning his face faster than turning a book.

Lucas only smiled bitterly in the face of Napoleon VII's threat, "Your Highness, I have come with all sincerity, and even brought you a shocking big secret!"

"Really?" said Napoleon VII, taking a sip of Mariagio's black tea, not looking at Lucas, as if he was a little unimpressed by Lucas's shocking secret.

Lucas said with a solemn expression, "First of all, I have to tell you that I am here on behalf of the Asthalo family to ....... the 'Lord of the Plague'"

Napoleon VII looked up at Lucas, and he said quietly, "You mean the plague lord who fought with me?"

"Yes, Mr. Asthalo is willing to help you destroy the free market and Hydra......" Lucas said slowly, observing Napoleon VII's expression as he spoke, thus speculating whether Napoleon VII knew that Athena was the demon god Berette, who was in control of Hydra.

According to intelligence, Napoleon VII did not know about this, and the relationship between the two was far less close than that of lovers, so it can be said that Athena mixed in the Europa aristocratic circle, absolutely with ulterior motives. But what it actually is, Lucas is not 100% sure, but the higher the reward, the higher the risk, the lower the success rate, this is an eternal truth, Lucas must take this risk.

Moreover, he also believed in the accuracy of his information.

"So, Mister Astalous' request is Uroboros of the Lord of the Plague?"

"No, Mr. Astalous only needs the Plague Master's equipment. ”

"Paying such a big price for a piece of equipment?"

"To you, this piece of equipment may be just a god garment, but for us the Black Death, it is a symbol of supremacy, and I told you that the origin of our Black Death is the plague doctor of the Great Plague of the Black Death in Europa, so ..... Lord of the Plague, it means nothing to us Black Death......"

Napoleon VII smiled and said, "Even the significance of the succession to the throne of the gods?"

Lucas didn't answer directly, but said meaningfully: "A piece of equipment can't determine the ownership of a god general, and in the end, it still depends on strength." ”

"This is the big secret you are talking about?"

"Of course not. ”

"Are you telling me the true identity of the Second Divine General?"

Lucas shook his head, "I don't know the true identity of the king, but I do know the true identity of Miss Athena......"

Napoleon VII's originally relaxed body immediately straightened up, like a lion lying on the steppe, leisurely basking in the sun, suddenly spotted the enemy intruding into his territory, it stood up, and stared at the opponent with the momentum of about to tear the opponent apart.

Beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks on Lucas's forehead, he rolled his throat and said cautiously, "Miss Athena is the supreme four pillars of our Black Death, yes....... Lord of Hydra!"

The small hall, with the scent of tea and flowers, fell into a suffocating silence.

"You're lying!" Napoleon VII was like a dragon that had been touched against the scales, his body exuded an unrivaled momentum, his long hair floated, the hard marble coffee table shattered into powder in an instant, and the beautiful pastries and fine tea sets on the table flew in all directions, smashing against the immaculate glass window with a shattering sound. The colourful pastries turned into colourful dyes and smeared on the windows, the delicate cutlery struck the windows into a shattered web, and the silver knives and forks thrust into the white wooden lattice, humming and fluttering on them.

All of a sudden, the small hall with bright and clean windows became a mess.

Lucas, who was sitting opposite Napoleon VII, was also unlucky, he wiped a handful of pink macarons that smashed on his face, then put his pastry-stained finger into his mouth, sucked a few times, made a chirp sound, and said calmly: "If Your Highness is willing to give up the elimination of Hydra for the sake of Miss Athena, then you can also arrest me when I haven't said anything...... But it's a pity that I, the little demon god, don't know as much about the Black Death as Miss Athena......"

Napoleon VII, who was sitting on the brown leather sofa, suppressed his heavy breathing, he grabbed the armrest, his eyes changed from confused to firm several times, before he tidied up his bow tie, nodded slightly, and said apologetically: "Sorry, Lucas, I'm a little out of shape, you go wash your face, change your clothes, I'll ask someone to clean up the house, we'll talk later." ”

The string in Lucas's heart, who seemed calm, relaxed a little, and he stood up, smiling and saying, "Okay." ”

"I'm so sorry. Napoleon VII also stood up, and once again he sincerely apologized to Lucas, who was so gentle that it was impossible to believe that just now he was furious and looked hideous.

"It's okay, Your Highness, this news is indeed shocking. I tell you now that it was not to sow discord, but that Mr. Astalous wanted the Black Death to be transformed into a normal business organization, not a criminal organization, and that the legalization of drugs was not an insurmountable obstacle, and that times were different. However, this idea is in conflict with Miss Athena, who may have been too blind to the king......."

"I don't need to explain much, for me, women are meant to be conquered, not pampered. Napoleon VII raised his head, stared at Lucas, the forty-fourth demon god of the Black Death, Shaxx, and said coldly, "I ..... Napoleon VII would not change any of his intentions for the sake of a woman. ”

—————————————————————————

On November 3, 2022, the documentary about the Black Death was officially closed and entered post-production. The documentary was shot entirely on a makeshift set outside Athens, and the cast was made up of skilled women workers from Ukraine who had come to Athens to earn extra money, as well as refugees from the slums.

To add to the convincing power, the main character of the documentary chooses Interpol Patani to enter the whole case from her point of view, interspersed with images of Lolita being abused by what appears to be taken by the perpetrator, but in fact these scenes are all post-production, and Interpol does not have these heinous footage in his hands.

At the end of November, the documentary, titled "The Plague of People's Hearts - Black Death", was officially released on Twitter and YouTube, and countless well-known big Vs retweeted it. It pushed the anger of people around the world to a climax, especially at the end, the lovely Patani tearfully described that they wanted to solve the case but faced many difficulties, and wanted to find justice for the abused children, but could not achieve it because of the lack of cooperation of various countries, which caused outrage on the Internet.

The climax of the incident was after the documentary was nominated for an Oscar, in order to catch up with the hot spots, coupled with the drive of capital, the major TV media in country A and Europa began to fall, and the discussion that was originally limited to the Internet suddenly expanded to the news and TV media all over the world are competing to report.

In December, the Athens side could not sit still, and the global media criticized the Athenian side under pressure, and finally the Athens police held a press conference. The head of the Athens Police Department, Kaminis, said that the case would be solved as soon as possible. To no avail, people took to the streets in an organized manner, holding huge banners and banners demanding that the countries of Europa unite against the Black Death......

Under great pressure, Athens had to send a large number of police into the red light district of Aristotle Street to clean up the refugees who were begging for a living, shut down many shampoo rooms, and arrested some undocumented refugees.

Not only are these refugees well-trained, but they also have more advanced guns than the Athenian police, and in the exchange of fire with the Athenian police, more than a dozen police officers were killed and wounded, leading to a further deterioration of the situation.

Cheng Mo, who was imprisoned on the thirteenth floor of Hydra's cell, heard gunshots while doing yoga exercises, and at first he didn't think about it until the gunshots rang out like fried beans that he realized something was wrong.

So Cheng Mo walked to the edge of the cell, put his ear against the wall, and listened carefully. Holding his breath allowed Cheng Mo to hear more details clearly. Despite the distance of the gunfire, judging by the intensity, it was a very intense firefight, mixed with the sound of sirens and the clamor of people.

"It's not just a shootout, it's a massive riot. Cheng Mo made his judgment in his heart, "But Hydra's control over Hydra is so strong, and the Athenian side must have acquiesced in Hydra's existence to make Hydra develop into such a powerful one." There is no doubt that countless Athenian elites are entangled in Hydra's interests, and the addition of Hedra's countless refugees is a big trouble that Athens cannot handle, which makes it almost impossible for Athens to do anything to Hydra......"

"What happened?" Cheng Mo wondered, "Anyway, it has nothing to do with me." Cheng Mo didn't think there was anything wrong with Hydra, so he didn't continue to listen, and went back to bed and began to practice snake yoga exercises.

Now he can maintain the basic form of the "Seven Sins Sect" for four hours, and he can also use the "Freezing Ray" to make ice cubes, and it is unlikely that he can use the "Freezing Ray" to hurt people, but when the weather is hot, it is very useful to make some ice water.

I don't know how long it was, but when it was time to deliver bread, the robot that was punctual every day didn't come. Cheng Mo closed his eyes again, listened carefully for a while, there were sporadic gunshots outside, he ran to the door, put his ear on the iron door, and heard the sound of "knock, knock, knock" slamming the door echoing in the corridor, it was obvious that he was not alone in the food and water delivery.

"Definitely not a small matter. Cheng Mo stood up, and he kept wandering at the door, considering whether he should take the risk and use the "Seven Sins Sect" to escape from prison.......
