Chapter 64: The Will of the Old Man (10)
Su Enxi watched the atmosphere in the room change from dull at the beginning to serious, and when Ange made a move, it was unexpectedly calmed down a lot, until now at this moment, the atmosphere became strange again.
He was not so shocked when his life was threatened, but his mind became active when Ange brought up this topic, it seems that Ange's request may not be as simple as it seems, Su Enxi thought secretly.
She looked at the people around her, and the rest of the people except Laurent were already extremely dignified, including Hannah, who participated in the meeting for the first time.
"Headmaster Angers, are you saying that we are asking us to remove the observers sent to the Executive Department? I'm afraid it won't work. The old man with the beads opened his eyes and looked up and down at Ange on the first seat:
"Without our observers, your executive department wouldn't necessarily be able to do anything. The last time I remember your men burning down a hospital, that account is now at the top of the college's decades-long spending. ”
"But that was the highest-ranking Deadpool we hunted, and we got its full body, and I don't think we couldn't accept that price."
"What we need to do is to keep the secrets of the dragons, not to erase all traces of the existence of dragons at any cost." The old man who was stroking his cane also opened his mouth.
"At first glance, you didn't look at the mission file, its blood is extremely corrosive, at that time, the commissioner of the executive department was splashed everywhere during the hunt, and even the marble sculpture was blurred off the outer layer, if we don't burn it, the relevant departments of the Americans will intervene, you know, in the United States, we are not the only half-race organization." Ange sighed.
"But ......"
"That's enough, I don't think there's any point in continuing to discuss this aspect, if you go back hundreds of years, I'm afraid that the elders of the secret party at that time would not have thought that their juniors are now arguing over thousands of gold coins. My family can donate an extra portion of the dollar each year if needed. Laurent said.
"That's not going to work, Laurent." For the girl who supported him, Ange's tone also carried some tenderness: "The donation ratio in the school board cannot be changed, and once the exception is made, things will be much more troublesome in the future." Moreover, we don't care about the gold coins, if we quarrel because of this, I'm afraid that none of you here will have the face to see their ancestors. ”
"That's right, we're talking about a topic initiated by Principal Angers, and if you want to remove the observers from the Executive Department, I can't imagine that your people will become bandits in the future." Frost said bitterly: "Now that we have observers, you can pay so much compensation every year for accidents, and if we remove them, who knows if our donations will be enough in the future." ”
"What if I say that your observers are the biggest source of the incident?"
Ange raised an eyebrow and looked at the middle-aged man who had finally spoken, and there was a dark tide in his eyes, as if he would rush out at any moment to engulf the latter.
"What do you mean?" Frost asked rhetorically.
"Take this operation in Los Angeles as an example, we have already successfully hunted the target, but A-Class Commissioner Simmons hesitated at the moment of capture, he gave up the opportunity to kill the target, and the change happened, the target changed, killing Simmons on the spot."
Ange muttered as he pulled out a stack of papers from his handbag under the table and distributed them to everyone:
"Take a look, the mission report of the Executive Department. Simmons gave up the chance to kill the target, and the target changed...... At least it's an A, definitely above it, after all, one hit killed Simmons, but I can't say to what extent, and Lu Mingfei killed him later. ”
"That's Simmons ......"
"Hear me out, Frost. If Lu Mingfei wasn't there, I'm afraid that none of the executives present at the time could deal with the Deadpool, they could only use heavy weapons at the cost of destroying the high-rise buildings in downtown Los Angeles, does it sound familiar? A terrorist did the same thing about 10 years ago. Could it be that we are the same as the terrorists? That's what your observer does? ”
Ange raised an eyebrow, waiting for Frost's answer.
"Don't stress if, we have to speak with the facts, and the conclusion is that Lu Mingfei was there, and he stopped Deadpool." Frost said in a deep voice.
"I arranged for him to go, otherwise the result would have been Schneider's death on the spot." Ange said quietly, "You almost made me lose my friend. ”
"Me? What does it have to do with me? You don't blame Simmons to blame me? ”
"Because of an interesting rule." Hearing the man's defense, Ange smiled slightly:
"If the target is completely incapacitated, consider capturing the target alive and returning them to the academy for relevant research. This is a clause that you forced into the Code of Conduct of the Executive Department at the time, am I not mistaken?
The decision to determine whether the target is completely incapacitated and whether to bring it back is in the hands of the commissioner. ”
"So it's Simmons' fault."
"I didn't say that he was not wrong, he despised an enemy like dragons, and he deserved to die on the battlefield." Ange denied: "It's just that the fault is not entirely his, but rather that he has made other mistakes." ”
"What do you mean?" Laurent asked, tilting his head, completely unaware of the relationship.
Simmons' hesitation was strange, he was a master of swordsmanship, and he would not do such a thing to despise the enemy. For this, I asked Norma to do a detailed investigation. It turns out that before the mission, Simmons was contacted and told that if he could catch his prey alive, a good knife would be delivered to him. Ange seemed to have waited for this moment for a long time, and breathed a long sigh of relief:
"This man, an observer of the Gattuso family, has a personal relationship with many of the executives, I'm not wrong, Frost."
"I don't know, if it is, it's his own actions, and it has nothing to do with the family." Frost seemed to have expected this outcome, and his face was extremely flat when he said it.
"And what about the good knife he speaks of? Simmons is the kind of guy who doesn't see a rabbit and doesn't scatter eagles, in the family here, in addition to the technicians of the Gattuso family, there should be only the Crouch family, do you want to push them? ”
The man mentioned looked up and looked at Frost.
The Crouch family is notoriously ignorant, they have been dedicated to alchemy for generations, and when it comes to research, they have worked much harder than the alchemists of the Flamel family, but unfortunately they lack some talent, so they are not as famous as the generations of unscrupulous night watchmen.
But among the Secret Party, their achievements are also remarkable, and they greatly supported the Secret Party in completing the task of slaying dragons in ancient times, which is why they have a seat on the school board.
"The Crouches wouldn't do such a thing." Hannah glanced at the butler behind her, and rang the bell.
The rest of the school directors also turned their eyes to Frost, and Su Enxi looked gloating, looking the man up and down to see what he could come up with.
"I know you don't believe me, you can call him in for a confrontation and see if we arranged it." Frost didn't seem to care, and spread his hands.
"Your subordinate named Shinnosuke Fujiwara has a very tight mouth, and it's useless to ask." Ange imitated his appearance and spread his hands: "I guess I know that you will definitely be able to save him." ”
"Ange, you're talking nonsense." Frost sneered: "I don't agree with the removal of observers because of a trumped-up charge, who knows what your purpose is." ”
"I'm not saying it, I believe everyone knows it in their hearts, by the way, I'm curious, Frost, why are you so interested in that Deadpool in Chicago, interested in asking for a good alchemy weapon." Ange smiled casually, glanced at the two people at the table, and spoke slowly:
"Who knows...... Do you have any secrets, about the secrets of the original. Alas, what a pity, I also want to know, it's a pity that the body was completely destroyed by my good student.
No, even if it hadn't been destroyed, I wouldn't have been able to do it, because the helicopter carrying it would have flown to Italy instead of the academy headquarters in the first place.
Having said that, I'm still curious, why are you so interested in that, and as an old friend for many years, can you tell me a little bit? A little bit is fine. ”
As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the entire room condensed to the extreme, and Su Enxi, who didn't understand Rao at all, also understood what Ange was doing, which was probably equivalent to saying to a group of partners that someone had discovered a business opportunity and planned to steal it without telling everyone, and he would take advantage of it.
I'm afraid no one would put up with it if it was an ordinary business, not to mention that they were partnering with dragon slaying?
A small portion of the dragon's fortune is enough to bring a family to the top, just like the Crouch family today, whose alchemy is only the tip of the iceberg, but there will always be their seat in the VIP table of the secret party.
What's more, now that the first generation is awakening one after another, all the things involved are touching, just like the knife forged by the Lord of Bronze and Fire himself, if it is not for the fact that it has already recognized the owner, I am afraid that it will inevitably have a series of interest disputes.
What about something else?
For the Gattuso family to be so prosperous, at least the value is far beyond the alchemy weapon.
Even the two old men who were silently supporting Frost had their eyes on him, not to mention the others.
Being stared at like this, Frost trembled with anger and slapped the table angrily: "Ange, you are a bloody squirter." ”
"Whether I am a bloody spurt or not, the school directors should know in their hearts, I am just stating a possibility." Ange's eyes flashed: "Come on, let's deal with the topic first, and ask the school trustees to vote on whether to remove the observers to avoid the recurrence of the incident in Los Angeles." ”
"I agree."
Laurent and Su Enxi raised their hands in unison, followed by John. Crouch, this was a bit of a surprise to the crowd, for it was the usual habit for this man to abstain or vote at the end without affecting the result, and it was the first time they had seen a man take sides so firmly.
Hannah whispered a few words to the butler before raising her hand, and finally the two old men voted in favor.
"Looks like my proposal has passed." Seeing this, Ange smiled lightly and looked at the silent man in the seat: "Your man will put him back tomorrow." As for what secrets Deadpool has, I'm suddenly out of interest, guys, are there any more issues? ”
Looking around and seeing that no one spoke, Ange got up, bowed slightly to everyone and made a gentlemanly salute: "Since this is the case, then I will withdraw first, and I need to personally command the affairs of China." As for your candidates, it would be good to send them directly when the time comes. ”
Without waiting for any answer, Ange pushed open the heavy door with his bag and walked straight out.
Seeing that the figure was gone, Laurent also got up and walked out, followed by Su Enxi and Hannah.
Listening to the sound of footsteps disappearing, the old man with the Buddha beads muttered for a long time and said:
"Frost, this time Angers won, we all lost, we lost badly."
"Mainly, the new Romanov family and the new head of the Nicklaus family seem to appreciate Angers."
Sighing, the other old man said, looking at the butler, who was still standing respectfully behind the chair:
"It stands to reason that a little girl who doesn't manage a little affairs should be easily deceived. Otherwise, we would have wasted so much effort. ”
"I still need time." The butler lowered his head, causing everyone to see his face clearly, let alone his expression.
"It's just a small defeat, and it's a pyrrhic victory for Angers, and we're finally able to put in the manpower, aren't we?" Frost, who had been silent for a long time, said slowly: "As for the future, it's not certain, we still have a great advantage. ”
"I hope so. However, it seems that there are more and more changes, the Romanov clan who joined at this node, the S-class that appeared inexplicably, have you heard of his parents Lulin City Jovani? I've asked a lot of people, and they don't have an impression of the two of them. ”
"It should be the secret executive under Angers, and I don't have the rest of the information, they are very mysterious." Frost shook his head: "Let's stop chatting here, think about what we should do in the future to contain Angers's forces, otherwise our goal may be difficult to achieve." ”
"Hmm."
The room fell silent again, and several people had their own thoughts, occasionally meeting each other's eyes, but only missing them in a hurry.
A silent notch had been attached to the web cable between them.
......
In the room, Su Enxi wiped the tears that came out of his laughter: "Ange is really an old fox, he actually thought of breaking the alliance between the school directors like this, he deserves to have lived for more than a hundred years, it is really interesting to see Frost's face as suffocated as a pig's liver, and he was not so angry when he lost so much money last time." ”
"Headmaster, he just doesn't want to calculate others. Otherwise, I'm afraid no one will be his opponent. Laurent looked at the girl on the bed and smiled kindly.
"Does the headmaster often fight with them like this?"
"There will be occasional arguments, but they won't be like this at all." At this, a trace of worry flashed between Laurent's eyebrows.
"Are they all in menopause?" Su Enxi said with a smile.
"It's more like making up your mind." Laurent sighed: "In the future, the school board will probably be uneasy." ”
Outside the window, a few yellow leaves fall in the warm breeze, and the guards pick up the leaves on the beach with clips, and the emerald bamboo baskets hang behind them, which look like slow-moving hermit crabs from a distance.
In the distance of the sea, the blue sky is connected, and the cotton-white clouds are dotted on it, like a landscape painting, or a holy place for tourists to enjoy and take pictures.
At this moment, there are old people who meet on the other side of the sea, they hug each other, they talk and laugh, but in the end they quietly turn away at the end of the song.
