Chapter 164: Tommy's head is full of question marks

There are only three days.

Find a kidnapped person on the glass island, and the only clue he can get is a name-

Tommy couldn't even imagine how difficult it must be.

Not to mention, he had to kill the demon possessed by the shadow demon in order to snatch Ivus back.

But honestly, that kind of thing is a little simpler for Tommy. After all, with a clear goal, there is also a way to accomplish it. Tommy's greatest fear is the kind of situation where he doesn't know how to start.

Tommy's mood is extremely complicated at this moment...... Remorse is mixed with fear, resentment is mixed with irrepressible rage.

In fact, he had always known that it really didn't do Ivus any good. If Ivus had chosen his side, Tommy would have defended him, or even considered him his own descendant. The problem is, Ivas is on Boca's side.

Boca didn't even hide his purpose.

As long as he has the opportunity to surpass himself, he will definitely do it. At that point, he would have to die—in that sense, he was giving orders for his own survival.

The only problem was that he was carried away by jealousy and anxiety...... He could have chosen a more covert approach, but he was in too much of a hurry.

The vice president of Boca, who was chasing after him, made him dizzy, so he planned to weaken Boca's power - if there were any consequences of killing Ewas, then Boca would take the blame, and he could also directly cut off the entire Lloyd's and resign.

Even if he didn't kill him, he would be able to make Ivas and Boca feel disliked, thus reducing Boca's power in disguise. There is even a chance to pull Ivas to his side.

After all, it was Boca who wanted to attack Eivas at the suggestion of Boca.

And what he did was just to emphasize the attitude of the noble red side and ask Boca to increase the weight and not release the water. From my own standpoint, there is no problem.

Truth be told, Tommy has been reviewing it over and over again until now, and he still doesn't think there's anything wrong with his plan.

He's just not wrong.

It's all bad luck.

- How could he possibly have guessed that Meg, the Grand Arbiter, would act for such a trifle?

Ivas is just the second son of the Moriarty family, and even the same adopted son as himself. Just an adopted son, even if he has some ability?

Besides, he has an older brother on his head and a younger sister below, and the family has no heirs at all. Old Moriarty didn't react when he died, how could Ivus even alarm Meg when something happened? His strength is obviously not strong, and he doesn't have any talent that must be valued......

Now at the age of eighteen, he is only at the first level, and he has no academic monographs. The grades are said to be at a very good level, and there is no research or invention.

What the hell is there about him that can't be moved?

Tommy still couldn't figure out why Ivas could alarm Meg. Let Meg personally force herself for him.

- This is a completely impossible to predict situation!

She had never interfered in politics before. Because her help to either side could lead to speculation in the Round Table and chaos in Avalon. It's like when a fish moves a little, the water on the shore is muddy.

Meg at least five years old...... It hasn't even been done for nearly a decade. Even if the royal family was cursed and died one after another, she never made a move. In this case, it is entirely reasonable to assume that Meg no longer wants to do anything.

But now it's too late to regret it. I've been cursed.

It was the "final arbitration" that the "Grand Arbiter" personally gave to himself, and it was the highest version of the "spirit of speech" used by all the lawgivers of the authoritarian path. Even those who are proficient in the Transcendent Path of the Curse will not be able to access this curse - this is a delayed burst of spiritual damage, which is not a curse and is closer to a contract.

As president of Lloyd's, he was also president of the Avalon Merchants' Federation.

There are about 120 people in the round table hall, but only 70 or 80 people regularly attend the meeting, and only when the bill involves their vital interests, or when the matter is more important, the number of people attending the meeting will be larger.

Tommy indirectly sponsored more than 50 of them, all of whom were regular attendees of the Roundtable...... In other words, he has basically controlled two-thirds of the seats in the normal round table hall through bribery and other means. And because of the existence of the Inspectorate, these people do not dare to connect with each other, so they do not know that other people are also controlled by themselves, which means that it is difficult for them to unite and betray themselves together.

It may be difficult to force these knights to pass laws against them. But if it's an ambiguous motion, his words still work.

With Meg loyal to the Queen, the royal family largely following the advice of the Round Table, and the Round Table largely subordinating to his own opinions, Tommy can indeed be regarded as an underground emperor - although it costs a lot of money every time he gives an order, he can finally make a national bill twist at will according to his own wishes.

Even if the knights don't know which Knights of the Round Table are controlled by Tommy with money, they can realize that the laws passed in recent years are basically in favor of the merchants. Therefore, even the Inspectorate did not dare to attack Lloyd's at will.

- Even if they knew that Lloyd's was involved in the smuggling of dangerous goods, so what?

There are also many people in the inspector who have accepted his sponsorship, and when they come to investigate, someone will always call him in advance. There are even times when the inspectors are so enthusiastic that the caller can make a phone call for half an hour.

What Meg said, others did not dare to touch themselves—it was true. She dared to touch him, and this was true. That's why Tommy has so much respect for her...... Because of this kind of strong man, he can no longer influence her through the round table hall. If Tommy had ordered the knights to target Meg, they would have turned back immediately.

But what makes Tommy wonder is, what the hell is crazy about the old woman today?

Could it be that she is dying of old age and is already dealing with the aftermath of her death?

"Let's hope she's dying soon."

Tommy cursed viciously and cursed a few words.

He thought for a long time and started talking on the phone in his office.

His first call was to Vice President Boca.

The phone rang once and then picked it up instantly, apparently Boca had been there for the whole time.

"Mr. Boca," said Tommy, in a deep voice, "something happened last night, can you explain it to me?" ”

Of course, he knew that Boca didn't do it. Because Boca had no motive for "Aleiste" to kidnap Evas.

But that didn't stop him from pushing Boca out as a target first - if he wanted to drive the entire round table to help him investigate Aleister, he would have to find someone who could take the blame for them beforehand.

You can't investigate to the end, so you can't find yourself in.

And Boca, on the other side of the phone, also looked pale.

The spiritual instincts of the transcendent made it clear to him that there was malice and threat in Tommy's words.

"What, Mr. Lloyd?"

But Boca didn't back down: "Come and show me the victory, huh?" ”

Hearing the hostility in Boca's voice, Tommy Lloyd was a little surprised.

In normal times, Boca would have only chosen to retreat. He's such a person...... It looks serious and calm, but in fact he is a very timid person. Even with inside information, his investment strategy is very cautious. Before the Noble Red Society began to interfere with Lloyd's, Boca was a well-known coexistenceist.

At that time, Lloyd's already wanted to usurp the throne. It is better to say that since the Prince Lloyd's back then, they have been planning for this.

And now it is only half a step away from it, and Vice President Boca has taken half a step back.

He believed that a group of businessmen could not run the country well, and now everyone can be united because of the round table hall and the royal family. But if they really want to usurp the throne successfully, they will fight each other for interests. From this point of view, it is best to keep the whole country functioning while they are privileged but do not need to work for it.

Therefore, Boca is not in favor of seizing power, and he still wants the Durak family to inform Avalon to maintain maximum stability. And many of the knights in the Round Table thought the same way—they were tired of the Avalon with too many rules these days, but they didn't want to change too much.

I want freedom, but I only want a little.

But for Lloyd's, this is a traitor.

Merchants usurped royal power, which was unacceptable to popular perception. Not to mention that he is a half-blood giant with a part of cannibal blood in his veins. He needs to be oppressive enough to make them have no choice and accept that there is no way out of the question—the source of Tommy Lloyd's choice is the Kingdom of Star Antimony.

But Boca's claim is to suck blood from him.

Those who felt that Lloyd's was too extreme, looking back at the more conservative faction of Boca, were more receptive to Boca's ideas. The stronger Lloyd's oppression, the easier it is to drive them to Boca's side.

That's why he's always going to be Boca's enemy and drive them out.

The blood of rage in his body was still boiling. Tommy has already done several murderous killings against Vice President Boca.

That is, he was not sure that he would be able to kill the other party directly on the spot.

If you accidentally let Boca go, the situation will become complicated and anxious...... That's why Boca is alive. Otherwise, he would have eliminated his sworn enemy by physical means.

But even though he had revealed his murderous intent, Boca was still willing to obey his orders - Tommy ordered Boca to send stronger men to attack Ehuath, such as his Blade Demon and Whip Demon.

It turned out that he really sent it out.

- That's the Blade Demon!

Although it only has the third energy level in terms of path strength, it can defeat the fourth energy level head-on. If you have the support of the Whiplash Demon and the Demon Dog to contain it, you can win even at the fourth level of the plural number.

And what the Blade Demon is most proud of is its powerful pursuit ability - it is useless to escape in front of the Blade Demon, and the obsession of chasing the other party to death even if they are all killed is extremely threatening in a single battle.

When Boca sent out the Blade Demon, Tommy felt that he was really going to give up on Evas. Because he has reached this point that he still doesn't dare to turn his face with himself...... Tommy only felt that his weakness was terrible, which made people laugh.

But now, Boca is tough.

- Why did you suddenly become tough at this time?

Tommy is full of question marks.

There are simply too many irrationalities in this matter.

Why did Meg suddenly make a move? Why has Boca suddenly become tough? Where did the demon possessed by the shadow demon come from?

Chapter 2 is still a little late, it should be about the same as yesterday!

Damn, it's nine o'clock today! My routine is starting to loosen again, which is a bad sign! (Panic)
