Hearing the emperor's words, Russell and Delphinium glanced at each other, their faces were a little strange, and they were silent for a while.

Mood...... It becomes a little more complicated.

"Looks like you've heard of it."

Looking at the reactions of the two, the emperor nodded slowly and said in a deep voice: "I guess, you should have heard it because of the inferior." ”

“…… Indeed, the same can be said. ”

Russell nodded hesitantly, and Delphinium hummed in agreement.

Indeed, without the task sent by the inferior father, there would indeed be no identity as a "godfather", and Russell would not introduce the barber's vest to the delphinium and the inferior person.

From this point of view, it is indeed heard because of the inferior. This statement is by no means a lie.

"You don't need to be so shy about it."

The Emperor sighed slowly: "I know his origins. He was indeed a poor boy...... So even if he is rude to me and the directors on weekdays, and no matter how unruly he doesn't follow the rules, I will only say a few words at most.

"Now the inferior people have entered the lower city to make a living, and there is no way to do it. After all, even if you talk about 'rules' again, you can't just make people suffer from it. When you are in danger, it is normal to choose the right way to avoid danger......"

When the old man said this, he paused slightly before continuing: "So, I can also understand what he is doing now.

"But as understandable as it is, I would never agree with—"

“…… What's wrong with him? ”

Delphinium asked with some concern.

The emperor shook his head slightly: "He killed people in Shangcheng District and was filmed by the surveillance.

"And not one or two...... Although the people who were killed were also uncensored, they were also people with official jobs. ”

"-How can an uncensored person have a formal job?"

Russell interrupted, "They don't even have chips to collect wages." ”

"So I think maybe they don't have a salary. The price for hiring these no-code people should be something else......"

The emperor was also apparently not very easy to explain the problem.

But maybe it's old enough to go through that era when they were friendly to uncensored people...... He clearly didn't have any hatred or hostility towards these uncensored people.

"The inferior became a knife in the hands of the 'godfather'. A very sharp knife, a knife designed specifically to kill people. ”

The emperor sighed: "He can't come back...... But maybe he shouldn't have been here in the first place. ”

"What does the 'godfather' want to do?"

Russell asked, "I'm curious...... And, how did he convince the inferior to follow him? ”

He was really curious—because he hadn't done anything yet, why did the emperor seem to have discovered something?

Where did his information come from? Or did he hear any rumors?

"Because that 'godfather' is not just a simple criminal leader. His ambitions are very big......

"He's got the Lower Quarter in one. Whether it is a criminal organization or a mercenary organization, they are all now under the jurisdiction of the Godfather.

"And now the inferior are hunted down by those who do not obey his rule."

The emperor's face was solemn, and he lowered his voice: "There was a reporter under me that day, and I happened to shoot the inferior when I was out on location.

"It's like he's a different person now, no longer always mocking people, but reticent. The whole person became gloomy and emaciated...... I think he must have been brutally tortured and trained by his godfather. Maybe he was brainwashed by what device he used.

"His psionic powers have even changed. The reporter heard clearly, 'The Godfather has warned that greed will kill you...... But you don't seem to be paying attention'. But strangely, the camera device did not make a sound at all.

Immediately afterward, the man who was stared at by the inferior seemed to go crazy. He seemed to be roaring, but didn't make any sound...... Then he knelt down with a trembling body and kowtowed to the inferior...... But as soon as his first head fell, he never lifted it again. He kept this kneeling posture and died. Because the posture of death is so peculiar, some people even posted it on the Internet when they found his body.

"Later examination, he did not have any external injuries on his body. It's like being scared to death. This is obviously not the behavior pattern of the inferior, but what can be photographed is clearly the inferior......"

As he spoke, the emperor took out a chip and handed it to Russell: "Look at it." ”

Russell put it in his prosthetic hand, saw the video from it, and forwarded a copy to Delphinium by the way.

“…… Cruel torture? ”

The delphinium muttered under her breath and couldn't help but glance at Russell.

After watching the video, Russell made eye contact with Delphinium for a moment, then turned back to the emperor and asked, "How did you know about this in the first place?" ”

"Because we have informants in Downtown."

The Emperor replied very dryly: "You may not know, just a few days ago...... The 'strangulation', who was previously subordinate to the White Lion Group, brutally executed many pilots in the name of the godfather. He tied them up and put them in front of the heavy truck, and ran them over little by little.

"It's very obvious that these people should be involved in the car accident that you and Bingshui encountered."

“…… Well, I've looked into this incident before, but I haven't been able to find out who it is. ”

Russell replied softly, "All pilots who can use portable equipment to drive heavy cars have an alibi." The man was like a ghost, someone who had never been there and had learned great driving skills. So I also suspected that he should be from Downtown. ”

"Exactly. I also started investigating for the ice water, but then I found out that it was very involved. ”

The Emperor nodded, affirming Russell's conjecture: "There is only one person who really carries out the mission. Even if the mission fails, so many pilots should not be executed...... So I reasoned that the Godfather probably didn't know who did it either. That is, it was not the Godfather who did it, but his opponents. Then their goal obviously cannot be ice water...... It should be you. Because ice water is not that important.

"That said, I think the car accident and the bombing should be two different groups of people. The kid who caused the explosion was the one who really wanted to do it to the ice water, and the car accident was just someone who knew about his plan and planned to take advantage of this opportunity to attack you. Ostensibly to attack the icy water, but in reality it is to assassinate you.

"They even planted and misled...... That's why the bombing failed. ”

The Emperor said in a deep voice, "Since the Godfather's opponents think that this can cause trouble for the Godfather...... The Godfather also brutally executed those people as a warning, which means that the Godfather does not want them to do anything to you, at least not now.

"And I wondered, what could be the case for the godfather?"

The Emperor said in a deep voice, "I have analyzed all the behavior patterns of the Godfather from the first time he appeared until now. I've found that every time he's involved in a big event, you're more or less involved in it.

"So I would venture to speculate that it was you, Mr. Ultramarine, who he really wanted to deal with—either to kill you or to brainwash you like a controlling underdog. It's all possible...... That's why this 'early attack', which may have aroused your vigilance, made him so angry.

"He was able to convince those criminal organizations that he did not rely on justice and goodness. He had to be more vicious, cruel, and greedy than them to become the king of the lower city. This means that in the vision of the godfathers, the wishes of others can also be fulfilled...... Only then will they follow him.

"And based on my guess, I think the godfather might really want it...... It is to subvert the rule of the company. ”

When the Emperor said this, he couldn't help but lower his voice: "That's a very, very dangerous person, it is said that he also used some means to control the leaders of the two major organizations of Ignorance and Eternal Tribulation, and they are obviously hostile. Considering the situation of the inferior, Ju believes that his psionic abilities should be related to mind control.

"I'll show you his portrait later. If you see that person, be sure to find a way to avoid it.

"The man was like a giant spider. He tries to turn the entire Lower Town into his pawn in order to play against the elves...... If he touches you, don't believe whatever he says. ”

"I accept your admonition."

Russell nodded solemnly: "Thank you very much."

"By the way, Mr. 'Emperor,'" Russell changed the subject, "to reciprocate." I'll give you a piece of information too...... I went to see Director Tokfate the other day. ”

“…… Prophets? ”

The Emperor whispered, "What did the prophet say?" ”

"He revealed to me that the Club of Heroes was going to be in big trouble. It's better not to approach the club anymore these days. ”

“…… Is that really the case? ”

The old emperor penguin muttered to himself, "Behind all this...... That's why it's a warning to me......"

I knew that the day was just a decoy.

Why Sky Delivery? Because he's just the right amount of stupidity, and he can hook me.

What they want to destroy is probably not just the idiots in the club, but the entire club of heroes.

…… Or is there something to do with the directors of Torkifate behind this matter?

He suddenly looked at Russell.

Is it because of this reason that someone hired those people to attack Russell?

It was to make Russell the victim and cut off from the Hero Club.

So, who would do such a thing?

The face of a compassionate old man appeared in the emperor's heart.

Could it be...... Mr. Amirus?

But that doesn't make sense......

"What?" Russell asked curiously.

"That is...... No, forget it. ”

The emperor wanted to speak and stopped.

Of course, he knew what taboo the Hero Club had violated. It's just that he still has some luck in his heart, thinking that the directors may not have noticed or cared about the youthful frivolity of those young people.

…… Now that I think about it, I am indeed old.

Thinking that the club of heroes that he had created was about to be destroyed, and that perhaps there was a director he respected who was leading the plan. His heart was a little heavy.

He had wanted to ask Ultramarine's wisdom for his help, but suddenly realized that doing so would cause Ultramarine.

So the emperor finally decided to check it himself.

If in the end the Club of Heroes is indeed going to be destroyed...... He also wished that he would give him a ride.

After all, it was my own hard work for more than 20 years......

After saying goodbye to Russell and Delphinch, the Emperor returned to his home somewhat tired.

He doesn't need to record a show today, and he doesn't have the mood to go to the TV station on duty. I didn't sleep well last night, so it's better to catch up on sleep at home at noon.

But just as he opened the door, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Why is there a TV sound in the living room?

He quietly stepped into the living room, and sure enough, he found that there was one more person in his home.

A young man next door with a long blue ponytail, a gentle and sunny face, and a pastry chef's temperament, was looking at his photo with some curiosity.

After seeing his face clearly, the emperor's pupils suddenly shrank.

"Please be seated, Mr. Emperor."

The young man said gently, gesturing with his chin at the sofa next to him.

"Let's talk slowly."
