Section 29 Ambition

"And what about the royal family?" Ashrufat couldn't help but ask. "Is there no way?"

"Of course, there is no way. Rhodia spread her hands. "The royal family is scarce, and there is a little girl on the throne who doesn't know how to govern the country at all. This is an objective fact, who can do anything? Not to mention us, even if Garunas is reborn, I'm afraid there will be no way. There's no solution to this!"

"Ah...... Is that so?" replied Ashrufat casually, but his absent-minded tone suggested that he had something else in mind as he said this.

"Hey, Ashrufat!" Rothea leaned over. "What do you seem to want to do...... You're just a guard, you just need to do the work of a guard, and you can be worthy of the salary you are given, what are you doing with so much consideration!"

"Indeed, I'm just a guard. Ashrufat immediately retracted his mind. "Speaking of which, this guard is really not good. ”

It's really not good, not to mention the pressure from all sides, whether the title of this "knight" can withstand the change of dynasty has become a problem. If it were a reasonable marriage, if it was a coup d'état, I am afraid that this "knight" would not be recognized afterwards. But in fact, it doesn't matter, as long as you survive this year and get married, what does it matter if you want this title or not?

"By the way, what you said before, if it was by marriage......"

"The Duke of Byron had two sons. Rhodia replied. "The eldest son is married and now remains in the Duke's private domain. The second son was eighteen years old, unmarried, and now with the duke. It seems that if our regent decides to seek the throne in this way, it will be up to this son to carry out the operation. Of course, there are also rumors that the Duke's wife has been bedridden for a long time...... If he becomes a widower, then it is also possible that he himself will marry the little queen. But I don't think it's possible, because it's too explicit and inappropriate. If you do this, you might as well assassinate the little queen and replace her yourself!"

"This second son...... What kind of person is it?"

"Ah, hahaha...... You really asked a good question. Rhothia laughed. "I remember everyone calling him 'Little Byron'. He's a regular on our street, a big benean! Oh, there's a little secret. She said in a very soft voice. "The guy was so fond of special games that the girls he played with would shout, 'I can't take it.'" However, he is very generous, so it is still very popular overall. ”

"Actually...... Don't look at our Duke Byron as a serious man," added Rhodia, "but I've heard that he has several illegitimate sons and daughters." So it's normal for a new son to come in. ”

......

Nighthawk walked around the room.

Although it had been a few days and had been cleaned many times, the smell of blood in the room was still strong. It's no wonder that when the bodies were found, several people, including the Crazy Horse boss, had been lying in this room for a long time. It is said that the blood in the room at that time had coagulated into a thick layer of blood paste, which made people who came in feel like they were stepping into the wet mud. In the absence of timely cleaning of the corpse, the accumulated smell of blood is always very strong and difficult to fade.

This room is very distinctive, large inside and small outside, easy to defend and difficult to attack. As long as the sentinels outside give a warning signal, the people inside can rely on the favorable terrain to defend for a long time. Even if the number of attackers exceeds ten, it will be difficult to attack in a moment and a half. It can be seen that there is absolutely a reason why the boss of the Crazy Horse Gang chose this place as his lair in the first place.

Of course, this argument has proven unreliable.

Beside Nighthawk, several members of the gang who are skilled at picking locks are working hard. They had already learned from the Crazy Horse Gang members who had taken refuge in them, and that there was a secret cabinet here, which was likely to hide the personal savings of the Crazy Horse boss. It has been six or seven years since the Crazy Horse Gang was founded, risen to the present destruction, and it is conceivable that this boss has accumulated a lot of wealth.

The secret cabinet has finally been opened. A few of the lockpickers immediately moved out of the way so that Nighthawk could walk up. In fact, you don't have to get very close to see the contents of the secret cabinet, because it's really eye-catching—it's all jewelry.

Nighthawk tilted his head towards a fat, fat, brassery-looking subordinate on the other side. The latter understood, and immediately stepped forward, and began to take out the treasures from the secret cabinet one by one, estimate their value, and put them into a chest. For each item taken out, the appraiser would give its name and approximate price and write it down in a notebook. In particular, the whole estimation process was carried out under the eyes of everyone, so it was impossible for him to have the opportunity to hide a few things, nor to estimate the price that was too outrageous.

"Boss, you'll be happy. When the contents were counted, the fat man looked up. "It's worth at least 80,000 quiolis. And there's this. He picked up a quaint clay pot.

"What is this?"

"An antique. The fat man replied. "Very valuable antiques. ”

"How much is it worth?" asked Nighthawk with interest, what could make this subordinate value was certainly not a mundane thing.

"Ah, it's a matter of luck. If you're lucky, you might be able to sell hundreds of thousands of quiolis, but if you're unlucky...... Maybe it's only a few hundred. This one is completely dependent on the sky. ”

Everyone looked excited. With so much money for military spending, it is almost impossible to lose the next round of gangster wars. When the Crazy Horse Gang collapsed, although the Black Pig Gang started earlier, they didn't have any special gains after the end. Instead, they get the real legacy of the Crazy Horses. When the Crazy Horse Gang collapses, everyone in the gang knows that their next opponent is the Black Pig Gang.

"Did you find out what you did?" Nighthawk asked one of his lieutenants. "Who did that?"

"Boss, do you still need to investigate?" said another subordinate. "Who else but Scarlet Rose? It's also Crazy Horse who helps him find death, and last time he actually sent someone to Flower Street to harass him, wanting to test ......"

"Flower Street ......," Nighthawk spat out the word. Every leader in the Underworld Realm of Eagle Falcon City knows the word Dao. The current flower street is simply a cornucopia. It's no wonder that the leader of the Crazy Horse Gang would do this, this is a territory that every boss dreams of! But it is impossible to get his hands on this territory, because in Flower Street, there is a legend in Eagle Falcon City, a woman called Scarlet Rose. No one knows her true identity and purpose, but everyone knows that she guards Flower Street. If you want to get involved in Flower Street, the fate of the Crazy Horse gang leader is a prime example.

Nighthawk's gaze blurred. If he can defeat or even submit Scarlet Rose and take over the entire Flower Street, then think how far he can go......?

But in the next moment, he brought himself back to reality. Indulging in imagination is not conducive to reality.

"You," he said, reaching for a slip from his pocket and handing it to his deputy. "Take this box...... And this thing, let's send it to the old place together. ”

Nighthawk's lieutenant was a well-proportioned middle-aged man, who hesitantly took the note. "Your Excellency," he said, using a term rarely seen in the gang. "In our current situation, if we want to make a difference......"

"He asked me to give 100,000 gold oli. Nighthawk let out a long breath. "I think it's a test. ”

The two of them were in a far corner at this time, and their voices were also very soft. Several of the other subordinates were still there, obsessed with the glow of the jewels, not noticing the conversation, let alone hearing the specifics.

"But, Your Excellency, if you want ......"

"I know," Nighthawk said with a somber gaze to his men who were still looking at the jewels not far away. "But I can't be like this forever! becoming the ruler of this underground realm is not my dream, and I can't stop there!"

"Your Excellency, you mean...... Your plan ......."

"Yes, for the sake of my future, some sacrifices are necessary right now. "Nighthawk clearly has a lot of trust in this subordinate. "I'll bring this over in a moment, and the insufficient part ...... Let's just mention some of our savings in the Chamber of Commerce. ”

"Your Excellency, in this way, our war against the Black Pig Gang ...... This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity...... We now have plenty of staff and preparations...... If there are enough funds......"

"Let's put it in for now. Nighthawk replied.

This sentence became the end of this conversation. Nighthawk turned his head and began to survey the room, estimating how the mysterious Scarlet Rose had accomplished this thrilling killing.

"Scarlet Rose...... "Except for the vague knowledge that she is a woman, she knows nothing else. If there was anyone in Eagle Falcon City who knew anything about the situation with Scarlet Rose, it must be the current apparent leader of Flower Street, a woman named Rhodia. But no one dared to risk the name of Scarlet Rose to trouble this woman.

The fate of the Crazy Horse Gang clearly tells people that there is one truth (if this truth was forgotten in the past, it is now remembered), there is only one life, and it is better to weigh more than what you want to do.

Actually, it's easy to guess. To put it simply, Scarlet Rose appears unexpectedly and silently kills the Sentinel before it can warn him. Then he walked into the main hall and also attacked the other party by surprise. Without encountering stubborn resistance, he killed everyone in one go. Each one is a one-hit kill, steady and ruthless.

But it's easier said than done. How she was able to attack the Sentinels alone was a mystery. Nighthawk had already learned from the Crazy Horse gang that the boss of the Crazy Horse Gang had been hiding in this "safest" place ever since he sent someone to look for the ballast on Flower Street (and was beaten by passers-by). The sentinels he arranged were undoubtedly the most reliable. But with such a good terrain and such a vigilant sentinel, the Scarlet Rose can make the sentry unable to even give a warning...... For that alone, she's a little less human.

If you can get the help of this killer...... Basically, in this Eagle Falcon City, at least within the scope of the Underground World, it is probably to kill whoever you want. If he can do this, which gang can resist it?

He couldn't help but think of the half-brother who was related by blood. Remembering the contemptuous and malicious word "monggrel" that came out of the latter's mocking mouth.

Nighthawk clenched his fists at the thought of that word. Although he was accustomed to hiding his true feelings under his expressionless face, he still couldn't fully control the fire burning in his heart when he thought about it.

He is really nothing now - this is the law, and it is true that an illegitimate child does not have any rights to a father by blood. He can't even be counted as a member of the family. However, if the father can recognize his son, then he will also become a legally blameless son-in-law. All that is required is a formality.

If it is easy, it will only take half a day at most, but it is difficult to go to the sky. Because he knew very well that in the eyes of that blood father, he was just a "thing", a chess piece, a useful tool. Although he relied on the protection of his blood father, he was able to blend into his current position in the deceitful and dangerous underground world. But if he makes a mistake one day, he's thrown in the trash cleanly.

"I would never do that. Nighthawk whispered to himself. Then he saw the emblem of his gang, which was an eagle badge made of iron. This emblem is very similar to the coat of arms of the royal family of Gruny, the Makrémiz family.

That's his real ambition.
