Chapter 53: Retreating Against the Current
Roman's reaction was much quicker than the attacker's movements, and when he pulled out his revolver, Roman had activated the ability of the "living corpse", stood in front of Mr. Employer, and rushed towards the attacker.
As the assailant was about to pull the trigger, he felt a sharp pain in his wrist and could no longer hold the pistol.
Immediately after that, Roman twisted his body directly, exerted force downward, and pressed him to the ground.
By the time Roman had subdued the attacker and kicked away the revolver he had dropped on the ground, Mr. Wade's servants had just reacted and protected Mr. Wade in the middle.
Just an ordinary person...... Roman pressed the middle-aged man under him, thinking to himself.
Mr. Wade quickly regained his composure, stepped forward, and asked in a deep voice, "I don't seem to know you, why did you come to attack me?" ”
The middle-aged man who was pressed under Roman raised his head with difficulty, looked at Mr. Wade, and shouted with a crazy expression: "You son of a lowly businessman, how can you become a nobleman?" You have tarnished the glory that belongs to the nobility! ”
Mr. Wade was silent for a moment, and then said to Roman, "Thank you, Mr. Calpo. ”
Then he turned his head to look at his personal valet, and said, "You go and notify the police to come over, investigate the identity of the attacker, and then decide whether to notify the reporter when I come back." ”
After arranging the follow-up, Mr. Wade tidied up his clothes, turned around, and walked slowly in the direction of Sodrak Palace.
I don't know if it's Roman's delusion, but he feels that his steps are a little heavier and firmer than just now.
Roman waited and watched as several gentlemen like Mr. Wade came to King's Road and walked in the direction of Sodrrak Palace.
After a long time, Mr. Wade's personal valet, who accompanied the police to the police station to investigate the situation, came back and did not say anything, but his face was not very good-looking.
After Mr. Wade's sealing ended, he learned about the situation with the valet.
The attacker was a ruined nobleman, whose ancestors were hereditary barons, and when he came to his generation, he had incurred a lot of debts due to poor management, especially after the repeal of the Grain Act some time ago, and he had to sell his land to pay off his debts.
This also made the hereditary baron's land not reach the minimum level of 600,000 acres to match the barony's title, and faced the fate of being stripped of the title.
And he happened to hear that Mr. Wade was about to receive the title of baron, and out of jealousy, he made him act irrationally.
But since he is still a hereditary baron, Mr. Wade did not have a knighthood at the time of the attack.
And because the baron was directly subdued by Roman, and did not cause any bloodshed, he was released by the police on bail from another gentleman of status.
The gentleman happened to be at the police station, and not only was he a member of the Conservative Party, but he also happened to know the attacker.
Roman suddenly understood what "the choice of the times" meant.
In this incident, there are many coincidences and arrangements.
There was obviously an element of manipulation behind this, there happened to be a dilapidated nobleman who was about to lose his barony and lived in Queens near King's Road, and he happened to hear that Mr. Wade was about to be made a baron, and he happened to irrationally choose to launch a direct attack, and it happened to meet a gentleman with status who bailed him out at the police station.
In Beckland, the person behind this arrangement may be the royal advisor, Herwin. Rambis, one of the members of the Senate of the Psychological Alchemy Society, is a demigod of the audience path.
The aim, of course, is to exacerbate the contradictions between the New Party and the Conservative Party.
Today's attack on Mr. Wade, whatever the final outcome, will serve his purpose.
If Mr. Wade were to be killed on the spot, or if the attacker had been counter-killed on the spot, it would have led to a violent clash between the New Party and the Conservative Party.
And even if no one had shed blood, as was the case now, the assailant swaggered out of the police station within hours of the attack.
Any counterattack by Mr. Wade and the New Party after this will further deepen the rift between the two parties, and the contradictions will become more intense, which cannot be avoided.
In the coming period, the two parties will engage in countless fierce confrontations in the upper and lower houses, in the military, in business, and openly and covertly for their own interests.
This is the trend of the times that the Psychological Alchemy Society, or the organization that cannot be named, expects.
In the midst of this torrent, if you are not careful, you will be crushed, whether it is a great nobleman or an extraordinary.
And the center of the whirlpool is in Beckland.
And the fact that he acted as Mr. Wade's bodyguard, to some extent, was already in the whirlpool.
After coming to his senses, Roman had already decided that as soon as the mission was over, he would leave immediately.
At the same time, it also made Roman's heart, which had been a little slackened this month, nervous again.
You have to hurry up and digest the potions to prepare for the promotion, the opportunities to play in Beckland are limited, and when you get to the sea, there are more opportunities to fight.
Received a message from the captain last night that the refit and registration of the "Riptide Seagull" has been fully completed, and it is time to return to the sea.
Following Mr. Wade to visit several pro-New aristocrats and big bankers, Roman returned to the West End villa in the evening after a busy day.
After talking to his teammates, it was agreed that after completing Beckland's mission, he would return to the sea as soon as possible.
The next day, after informing Mr. Wade of the end of the mission, Romain and his party, who refused to be retained by Mr. Wade, left the West End villa and went to the safe house rented in the Romain Beckland Bridge area first, waiting for further news from the captain.
Over the next few days, Roman said goodbye to Miss Anne and then Arya.
Miss Anne is not surprised by this, she has seen Roman's Storm Badge and guesses that Roman, who is not a "substitute for punishment", has a special mission just like herself.
Now that I've heard that Roman is going back to sea, I just take it for granted, and make an appointment to find her at her machine shop or send a letter to her mailbox if I need help.
Roman felt that he would have a lot of trouble with Miss Anne in the future, after all, he was a very reliable craftsman.
Arya still remembered the notebook, but Roman reluctantly agreed not to continue deciphering the contents of the notebook for the time being.
After a long conversation, Arya decided to give the notebook to Roman for safekeeping, and she kept only the translation, after all, in terms of knowledge alone, the knowledge in the translation was enough for her to study for a long time.
Roman thought for a while, and then agreed, although this notebook is dangerous, but when he joins the Tarot Society, it can be regarded as a merit or dedication, sacrifice to Mr. "Fool", or apply to read it above the gray fog himself.
The two made an appointment with the contact information, and Roman promised her that she would keep an eye out for news of her teacher on the sea, and told her not to hesitate to go straight to church if she encountered any danger in Beckland.
As for Roman himself, although he is still full of curiosity about the mausoleum in the Southern Continent. But after learning about the general situation inside, Roman felt that he would not die to explore until he became a demigod.
Roman told her the contact information of the old gentleman's party of the "Eyes of Wisdom", and specially reminded her to be more careful when attending extraordinary gatherings, although the character of the "Eyes of Wisdom" was relatively reliable, but the others who attended the meeting were not necessarily.
After saying goodbye to Arya, Roman left the inn and busied around Beckland, making final preparations.
On June 25, Filogan received a telegram from the captain from Byam, saying that the "Riptide Seagull" was ready to sail for a mission, and that it would arrive at Damir Harbor in six days as planned.
