"Walk with me. ”

Ogllock pulled Shuya to his feet and took the lead himself. Xiuya followed behind him with her head bowed, and the old man's back cast a huge shadow on the corridor of Prison No. 1. It's as if the parliament had been looming over him for so many years. Now Xiuya understands a little bit whether some people are so careful to collect evidence just to get rid of this shadow.

Including yourself?

Prison No. 1 was so quiet that several of the prisoners in the prison seemed to have disappeared, completely devoid of breath. Even the sound of footsteps was vague, as if they were afraid of breaking the silence.

The atmosphere was oppressive, and when he walked out of prison, Xiuya took a big breath.

A car was parked outside the prison, surrounded by men in black. They weren't Oglock's usual bodyguards, and they were even fresh faces in Eternal Night. Everyone has a thick aura of solidity, and they all have good strength. The scattered position is just enough to protect the dead corner where Oglock is not attacked.

"These are my people. Ogellock said lightly: "At this time, the only people I can rely on and trust are them." ”

Xiuya knew that her father was the Speaker of the Dark Council. is still the boss of the Dark Chamber of Commerce in the Underground World, and at the moment, these people are only afraid of being born in the Chamber of Commerce, and have nothing to do with the Council. This is the first time Ogllock has revealed his roots, and Xiuya believes that this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Getting into the car with Oglook, he said to the driver, "Go to that place." ”

Then he said to Shuya: "Take you to an interesting place, in so many years, you are the first person to visit there besides Jenny." ”

Jenny is Oglock's daughter, a true daughter. It's just that she has been dead for a long time. Just two months after her death, Oglok adopted her.

"Xiuya, do you know why I adopted you back then?" said Oglok suddenly.

Xiuya bit her lip and said, "Because I look like my sister." ”

"No, you're not like it at all. Oglok shook his head, "Jenny is a weak child, as weak as a lily that will wither at any moment. It turned out that this era was not for her, so she left me. And you, wild as a thorny rose. Beneath your beauty are the spikes that can hurt a man. This is something that Jenny does not have, and it is also the basis for surviving and living better than most people in this era. ”

"So I adopted you, trained you, and made you the first to be a blood rider. Ogllock nodded, "You never let me down, and in you I saw that Jenny had a second life." This is the daughter I want, and you have always been my pride. ”

"But I've let you down. Xiuya bowed her head and said.

"Disappointed, do you mean Zuo Fei and Leo?" Ogllock said indifferently, his tone flat, but he obviously already knew everything.

Xiuya nodded.

Ogllock laughed and said, "No, my child. Even if you go on a different path from me, your persistence and fearlessness are still bright enough to make me proud. What's more, when I gave you a choice, you didn't run away, but chose to face it, didn't you? You have to look at it this way, child, not many people dare to betray me, and then choose to face me. You did, so you sit in this car instead of me turning you into a corpse and throwing you into a cold grave. ”

"And what are you going to do now?"

Oglok shook his head and said, "What's the plan?" Even if Leo and Ben come along, I'll be waiting for him here. Besides, the Dark Council is because of me, and it's the Dark Council. Otherwise, it's nothing! It's a big joke that a few clowns want to take me down!"

Xiuya was stunned, and Oglok's tone was calm, with almost no ups and downs. However, the momentum that was unintentionally revealed from his words illustrated his toughness and absolute strength that should be forgotten by most people after not showing it for too long.

The top powerhouse of the twelfth order is the truth hidden under this old man's old appearance!

The car drove through most of the city of Eternal Night, and eventually drove out of the city, to an abandoned factory building on the outskirts. Outside the factory, a circle of barbed wire has long been broken, and tall weeds are growing tenaciously, flooding the ground near the factory. The place that was originally an iron gate is now only half hidden, and the other half is lying on the ground, and the iron branches are covered with yellow-brown iron embroidery.

Oglok walked to the door and bent down to pick up an iron plaque from the grass with the words "Chemingway Manufacturing Company" written on it. He hung the iron sign back on the half of the door, and beckoned to Xiuya, "Follow me." ”

The guards remained outside the factory, and only Xiuya and Oglok walked in. The two of them walked through the dilapidated factory area, the towering chimney, and witnessed the prosperity here. But now, with the passage of time, it is finally gone.

The two walked into a factory building, where there were no machines for a long time, only some tattered boxes, and they didn't know what was inside. At the back of the factory, half of the walls collapsed, and only some steel and iron frames were still stubbornly supported. There was a rectangular table nearby, covered in dust. Ogllock wiped his hand over the edge of the table, and there was a name on it.

Oglok!

"This is ......," Shuya said in surprise.

"What you see is the birthplace of the Dark Council. Oglock looked at the line of names on the edge and said, "Once upon a time, there was no Dark Council on the shoreline, only a Timmingway Company. ”

He raised his cane, tapped lightly on the table and said, "At that time, this was my place. At that time, I was the head of the company, well, Ben was a new hunter back then. He'll sell me some prey, as well as Cario, the rude head of security. Where he is, there will be cigarettes and spirits, and this bastard would have been killed by those two things if he hadn't been capable. ”

Shuya listened quietly, outlined by Oglok's words, she seemed to be able to see decades ago. Oglok, Douglas, Cario, Shauna...... These names are now unknown to everyone in the mainland, but they were still an unknown group of people back then. They gathered together and argued fiercely just to keep the company running better.

"It may sound ridiculous, but one of the things we all thought about back then was to change this damn environment so that more people could live. Oglok laughed: "At that time, Leo was the richest of us guys, of course, he was not to the point of controlling the family back then, and he was even a poor worm who could be kicked out of the heir sequence at any time." ”

"We were working, discussing, and even arguing at this table. Speaking of this, Oglok paused and said with some emotion: "Later, after a quarrel, Ben left with Cario and Paul. Ben had always held on to his ideals, and what I saw was a harsh reality. Democracy, even in the old days, was just a card in the hands of politicians. And in this era, only the powerful can carry out their own ideas, and only after killing can there be hope of salvation. Unfortunately, Ben thought I was wrong. My best friend, just left. ”

"Father......" At this moment, Xiuya could feel the sincere emotion in Oglok's heart, and he could feel that he was a person of flesh and blood. And not the Oglok who rules the entire parliament with heavy-handed means.

Oglock shook his head, pulled Shuya to the edge of the gap, pointed outside, and said, "Now, my daughter must leave too." ”

Xiuya's whole body was shocked, and she turned around to speak. But he smiled at Oglok and stretched out a finger, gently gagged it to her mouth, and said, "Don't say anything, Xiuya." Listen to me for the last time, quietly go out from here, leave. Far away from Eternal Night City, from today onwards, there is no such person as Major General Xiuya in the Blood Cavalry. My daughter, this is the last gift I can give you, and that is freedom. ”

"There is no right or wrong, what you have to do is listen to your heart and carry it through your life. Ogllock nudged forward, "Go ahead, kid." Embrace the wider world and never look back. ”

The hot liquid slid across her face, and Xiuya bit her lip desperately to keep herself from crying. Her shoulders trembled slightly, and she walked forward step by step. Walked through the gap in the factory building and walked across the ground flooded with weeds. In the end, from a distance, there was only a lonely silhouette of the old man in the factory. Then, Ogllock disappeared into the shadows.

He's gone.

And Xiuya, free.

In the afternoon, in addition to the Augustus family. The other councillors in the city of Eternal Night had been notified of an emergency meeting, and there was no warning for this meeting. Those who have already heard the news are worried, and there are many who are at a loss as to what to do. When the councillors arrived at the council hall, they found that the guards in the hall had changed a group of people, which made the expressions on the faces of the councils even more solemn.

When the meeting was announced, Oglock sat in the speaker's seat. Looking at the councillors below, Ogllock smiled: "Not long ago, I received an interesting report. According to the report, the House of Augustus has taken control of my army and is heading for Eternal Night with Valhalla. Ladies and gentlemen, what do you think?"

This was undoubtedly a bombshell for the ill-informed parliamentarians, and everyone had panicked and dazed expressions on their faces, and they all turned their heads in their seats. Oglock's eyes swept around, and as far as his eyes could see, only a few councillors remained unmoved. But when he came into contact with Oglock's sight, he couldn't help but avoid it.

"And that's not even the most interesting, it's even more interesting. I heard that the law enforcement team privately investigated my private financial expenditures, and behind them, there are several big families behind them. Dear Rambo, have you heard about this?" Ogllock looked at one of the councillors.

Rambo, who was named, snorted, stood up and said, "That's right, it was several of our families who supported Zuo Fei's head to investigate you." Speaker, the Council's resources should not be used by you in private places, you are using power for personal gain, and of course we have the right to know where the resources that should have been deployed to the front line are gone, aren't we?"

"Rambo, Rambo......" Oglok shook his head with a smile, waved his hand and said, "Everyone has been friends for decades, if you can't trust me, just ask me directly." Why do any research, sit down, old thing, don't get so excited. ”

Rambo looked at Oglok like this, and always felt that the reaction was too different from what he expected. I didn't know how to respond for a while, so I had to sit down as I said. Oglock put his hands crossed on the table and said, "That's right, the war resources were mobilized by me privately. But I can assure you that everything I do is for the future of the council. Of course, I have no intention of explaining this to you now. It's like a lion doesn't have to say anything to a flock of sheep, does it?"

"All right, gentlemen, I'm already going to kill. Really, what you're doing behind the scenes makes me angry. But we've all worked together for so many years, so I'm extra kind today. Oglok said lightly: "24 hours, I will give you a full day." Now, get out of here. Get home, pack your things and get me out of the Eternal Night. If anyone is left here after 24 hours, then congratulations, you will be put to death. There are no conditions, no compromises, this is not a consultation, but an order. Leave at once, you guys. ”

There was a dead silence in the council hall, and after a few moments, several councillors, led by Rambo, got up and left. Then some of the legislators left, but more of them were puzzled and angry. A young councillor stood up, pointed at Oglock, and said, "What qualifications do you have to let us go." This is the City of Eternal Night, and our home is here. If you want to go, it should be you. Guys, are we just at his mercy, just because he's the Speaker?"

The young councillor said indignantly, and Rambo, who had already walked to the door, stopped, looked at the councillor and whispered, "Courage is commendable, but unfortunately, he used the wrong person." ”

"Mr. Dorona, the rising star of the Iron Rose family, I heard that you are very good at managing the family?" Oglok smiled, "but you are mistaken, this is the council hall, not your Iron Rose's backyard." ”

He snapped his fingers, and Dorona's face suddenly turned red. His eyes widened and he wanted to call it, but he didn't say a word. Suddenly, he exploded, and blood and internal organs spurted all over the ground!

"That's what people want, forgetfulness. Still smiling, Ogllock pointed to his head and said, "Just like Mr. Dorona, he forgot that there is only one master of the Eternal Night City. That's me, and it's because of my kindness that you live in the City of Eternal Night. But after staying for too long, the guest thought that the house was his, which was ridiculous. ”

"So, if there is anyone who is ready to object, it is better to stay. Before killing him, I pay twelve percent tribute to him for his courage. ”

Rambo shook his head, glanced at Oglok, and left with the family. No one will doubt the words of Oglok, who has already intended to clean up, will not stop. Rambo still has a lot to do, and 24 hours is far from enough to completely transfer the supplies of a wealthy family. So in this way, we have to throw away something.

For example, unimportant family members.

Evernight had never been more buzzing than it was today, and as Oglock's car drove along the road, he saw people rushing to be the first. Trucks are heading out of the city, and there is even a traffic jam due to too much traffic. As a result, some families quarreled and even fought with each other. If it was before, it was not allowed.

But today, there are no soldiers of the parliament to stop them.

Ogllock returned to his estate, and some of the servants were packing up and preparing to leave. The Speaker came to the study as usual, and as soon as he sat down, the butler brought coffee. Seeing that the butler was still dressed in a straight suit, Ogellock shook his head and said, "You can go too." ”

"Sir, I'm not going anywhere. ”

Ogllock looked up and said, "Stay, you may die." ”

The butler smiled: "If it weren't for thirty years ago, the lord brought me back from the wilderness. I'm long dead, and after thirty more years, I've had enough of it. ”

"Good. Oglok nodded, "How are the Devins family's affairs handled?"

"All the men have been killed, including the children. As for women, especially young women, they have gone where they should be. The old butler said lightly.

"Good job, so that no one will trouble Xiuya. ”

"Miss, she ......"

Oglok paused and said softly, "She's gone, and I set her free." From now on, there will be no self or any entanglement in her life. ”

The housekeeper bowed his head.

"You're laughing?"

The butler nodded: "Isn't this worth rejoicing about?" Miss Xiuya has never been a canary in a cage. The endless sky is her stage. ”

"Looks like I used to keep her as a canary. Ogllock laughed too.

The master and servant looked at each other and smiled even more happily.

The turmoil in Eternal Night continued throughout the day, and by this time the next day, there were no other residents or soldiers left in the city except for Oglok's own men. Over the years, the proceeds of running the Dark Chamber of Commerce have allowed Oglok to secretly cultivate an army. This force did not belong to the Parliament, and all funding was paid for by Oglock himself.

Therefore, no one knew it existed.

Now, with Oglock's estate as the center, a radius of ten kilometers has become a forbidden area. His private army had set up sentinels and defensive lines on the edge of the area, as well as numerous firepoints and barricades. As for Oglock himself, he was on the roof of the house, where there was a garden with a piano.

Ogllock sat at the piano and played Chopin's nocturne alone. The beautiful melody echoes in this lonely city with a calm piano like night, as if singing the final elegy of the city.

Eternal Night, Eternal Night!
