Men in black suits were wandering on the straight road in front of the palace. They were wearing neat and straight suits, with headsets on their ears, and the butt of their gun was exposed. It was a large-caliber pistol produced by the Colt Company. One bullet is enough to knock down an elephant, and can easily penetrate even a police bulletproof vest.
A group of black helicopters roared past the sky at low speed, and there were nearly a hundred snipers on the walls, staring at every corner of the palace at all times. However, the guests did not feel scared because they clearly knew that these The heavily armed men in black were there to protect them, and the dark muzzles of their guns would not be aimed at their heads.
Kafka stepped on the red carpet and walked on the straight road in front of the palace's main entrance. She obviously did not walk deliberately gracefully like other women, but she was the most eye-catching and attracted the most men's attention.
The red hair was carefully combed close to the temples and pinned at the back of the head with a silver hairpin, leaving only two long temples. The ends were permed into a large C shape, and the body exuded charming roses and hyacinths. The aroma mixed with seaweed is lazy and gentle, and the makeup on the face is also very light, but it makes all women breathless.
Almost every man's eyes had stopped on Kafka. If it hadn't been for Lord Moss's birthday party today, they would have held their wine glasses and rushed to show off their gentlemanly demeanor to win the beauty's laughter.
"Call the thorny rose, I am the melancholy handsome man, whether to enter the palace, over."
"Well, the palace is quite beautiful. It would be a pity to blow it up."
"Don't feel sorry for the palace. Your life is much more important than the palace. When you walk, be careful to smile and nod. Don't just draw a gun and shoot, over."
"So your mission is to stay outside and detonate bombs in peace?"
"Rose with thorns, haven't you heard that the protagonist always appears at the end? The one who appears first is either the villain or the pawn, and there are many procedures for detonating the bomb. Do you think it is as simple as pressing the remote control? over !”
Kafka remained silent and stopped talking. She just slowed down to admire the gardens and koi carp in the stream she passed along the way. The men behind her also slowed down tacitly.
They communicate with each other through Bluetooth devices inserted into their ears. The palace has a strict defense level, but the signal is not blocked. Everyone's device is only scanned at the entrance of the palace gate to prevent anyone from stuffing it in his suit pocket. A pack of dynamite.
But for Kafka, who has the power of telepathy, even if she puts C4 in her crossbody bag, no one will check it, which makes Jiang Fan sigh, shake his head in envy, and say that this is what he has dreamed of. Hypnosis cell phone.
After Kafka stepped into the palace and manor, he took a few glances. There were seventy-four guards on the straight road of the manor alone. The moving distance between each guard was no more than twenty meters, and Bluetooth was hung on his ears. Communication equipment, pistols with their butts exposed on their waists, and even tear gas and smoke grenades.
On the nearby towering wall, there is a sniper every ten meters with Barrett staring in all directions. Not counting the helicopters hovering in the sky, there are also many missiles and machine gunners.
The two of them entered the banquet to assassinate Moss, and undoubtedly shit on the heads of the Morka army openly. Compared with the choice to sneak into the palace to assassinate Moss a few days ago, today's situation is simply worse.
But from the beginning to the end, Kafka never objected or rejected Jiang Fan's plan. This is the point where the five hunters of Tianyi give all the planet lords and bounty hunters a headache.
Tianyi Wu is a planet that does not know what fear is. As a hunter born in Tianyi Wu, she has never shown the slightest bit of fear in her body.
Although according to ancient historical records, it was a star god who deprived the five people of Tianyi of their fearful emotions, the destiny controlled by that star god and whether he died or not were all as vague as clouds and smoke.
In the eyes of others, the emotion of fear is a burden. People are afraid of losing, afraid of the unknown, and afraid of creatures stronger than themselves. Fear always puts them in an impossible situation. There are even knights who prayed to the Star God to grant him The courage of a lion overcomes all fears, but...
In Kafka's view, people can only truly live if they experience fear. People who cannot experience fear are like puppets with incomplete emotions, and the value and meaning of life are like leaves blowing in the wind.
Sometimes she really envied Jiang Fan. At least he would tremble in fear when facing a gun. She had never had that kind of emotion. Maybe he was right. This is a woman. Those things she has never had are often the most valuable. precious.
The fear she has never had before must be the meaning of life she pursues.
Chapter 170 Abundance
In the Aesol Palace, Moss, the leader of Morka, was hosting top businessmen and politicians from all over the world for the most classic local breakfast. Everyone was chatting and laughing at this small morning meal.
Although this small-scale meal is more like afternoon tea for middle-aged men, they are all people who stand at the top of the pyramid in their respective fields. These people in suits and ties, chatting and laughing, can even decide the life or death of a country in a short period of time. and a system for the people to abide by.
The people who can chat and laugh at this table all have absolute power and wealth. Everyone looks so calm and luxurious. The content of the chat is nothing more than the survival of the planet and the ownership of trillions of credits.
Maybe this is the true style of big shots. They won't glare at each other because of petty profits or disagreements, let alone turn over the table and leave. They always finalize cooperation matters in a calm atmosphere.
"That girl Elise has reached the age of choosing a husband and getting married." A middle-aged man wearing a Vatican papal robe cut off a piece of ham and said casually.
"Well, originally I planned to introduce Noelle's son to her, but Elise was not very interested. She also said that such a man has no consistent interest with her at all, and what will happen is the tragedy of marriage and the consequences of marriage. Grave." Moss shrugged.
"Inol's son... he must be that boy from Flos. As the future crown prince, he is determined to be a scientist. It is indeed a bit unprofessional."
"I heard that the boy wanted to leave home and go to the Black Tower Space Station some time ago. The reason was to follow in the footsteps of his idol. However, he was arrested as soon as he stepped onto the spaceship and swiped his father's card."
"Idol?"
"Well, the father of Gundam, Jiang Fan, it's normal for boys to dream about mechas. In fact, I quite admire him."
"The children are still young, with dreams and ambitions in their hearts. They always feel that they can make their own way even if they are not crown princes. But as time goes by, the passionate heart calms down, and he can feel at ease. "The middle-aged man in the black trench coat paused:
"Just like us when we were young, Moss aspired to be a doctor, Vargas wanted to be a poet, and you, the Pope, when you were young, you were clamoring to become the most famous cowherd in the universe!"
"Albert, you son of a bitch!" Myron slapped the table angrily, and the topic of the morning breakfast was completely sidetracked. "Your dream when you were young was to be a worker, and you are still chattering all day long. Sing crookedly that our workers have power!"
"No matter how powerful the workers are, they can't have enough to eat!" Albert shrugged, smearing buttered bread with a table knife, "At that time, labor was the most glorious, but glory may not make you full."
Moss sipped his coffee and sat quietly in the chair, listening to his friends who had already fallen into middle age but were still young and sarcastic about each other. No one was convinced.
He had a smile on his face, and he kept the same smile almost the whole morning. For him, the choice of his daughter's husband was a top priority.
This country and planet belong to him, but the future belongs to his daughter. Such a gray planet is simply a piece of fat. I don’t know how many people want to take a bite. Although the alliance of the older generation is now indestructible, the young The juniors don’t socialize much, and friendships and relationships are not indestructible.
Now that Molka has this strong male lion, the wolves naturally don’t dare to pounce on him with bared teeth, but he is also a human being, and he will also grow old. How can an old lion be frightened in a few decades? As for the young wolves, it is difficult to conquer the country and even harder to defend it.
"A few days ago... the King of Medicine, an organization claiming to be followers of Abundance, found me." Moss suddenly said softly, "He promised me that I would become an immortal and have unlimited life span..."
The dining table that had just been bustling and noisy fell silent instantly. Everyone had different expressions on their faces, but they all kept silent in unison. The whole room fell into absolute silence, with only the sound of breathing getting heavier and heavier. The atmosphere in the room grew heavy.
"Feng Rao...then do you know the attitude of those crazy people in Xianzhou towards Feng Rao?" Mailon lowered his voice and spoke slowly, "As long as you have the slightest connection with Feng Rao, those crazy people in Xianzhou will kill you at any cost. Extinction exists in the universe, including Morka."
"A hundred years ago, Luofu Immortal Boat Dragon Lord was promoted to Star God, fought with Medicine King and disappeared into the universe. Even though six Immortal Boat Dragon Lords died and the seven Immortal Boat Dragon descendants were leaderless, the low period only lasted for more than ten years. It’s out of control... In the past hundred years, the combat power of the Dragonborn clan has increased step by step, and even the Great Lord of Extinction has been defeated four times."
"Especially the female general from Luofu. It is said that she is the messenger of immortality. She is the wife who was promoted to the Star God Dragon Lord. Even the Lord of Extinction who is also the messenger must avoid her edge. As long as it is related to fertility, Dragonborn Even if those lunatics break off their claws and crush their teeth, they will drag Feng Fu into hell..."
Albert no longer smiled playfully, but became serious: "The people in Xianzhou are not something you and I can afford to offend. The abundant power is like an apple on the edge of the cliff, tempting but deadly. Once you step over, What greets you is the edge of the hunt and the immortal gaze. No one knows whether the stone will fall when you reach the edge of the cliff."
Moss was silent for a while: "Well, if you were alone when you were young, then unlimited lifespan is really something you dream of. But when you get older, your heart becomes softer, and there are fewer things you want and things you want to protect. That’s a lot.”
"We are all old."
......
Kafka stepped on the red carpet and walked into the hall of the Esol Palace. At this time, many celebrities from all walks of life had gathered in the palace hall. The men gathered together with wine glasses to discuss their experiences in getting rich in business, while the women gathered together. They chatted secretly and gossiped together.
Everyone seemed busy, but Kafka just took a look and walked to the buffet snack table, causing the men who gathered to discuss business ideas to sigh at the same time.
Judging from the sumptuous buffet, the purpose of this banquet is more like a social event focused on eating. Different from the traditional banquet style favored by middle-aged people, the organizer of this banquet is more like a trendy young man , not as rigid and serious as imagined, more like a dance.
"Rose with thorns, rose with thorns, there is something very serious that I must explain to you."
"Ok?"
"Get me the bottle of Lusail red wine on the left. It's a high-end bottle. You must wait for me."
"Please." Kafka's eyes moved along the dining table where the red wine was placed, and he moved his lips slightly.
"Please! That bottle of 7430!"
.....
Two updates as promised! Let me see who dares to bark! (akimbo)
Chapter 171 The Last Choice
"So you came in just to eat these lobsters and drink all this red wine?"
"I tend to eat a big meal before taking action, because no one knows if it will be my last meal. At least when I go to heaven, I will be a well-fed ghost instead of turning into a piao staring at lobster and red wine. Slobber."
"So you were reincarnated like a starving ghost before you sneaked into the company and dyed black rice?"
Kafka swayed the red wine in the goblet, her movements and postures were extremely elegant, while Jiang Fan stood at the buffet table waving his knife and fork, his momentum could be described as "a tiger descending from the mountain".
If it weren't for the expensive custom-made suit Jiang Fan was wearing, I'm afraid the waiters present would have thoughtfully asked the man in black to invite the man in black to leave, and remind him that no idlers or dogs were allowed.
"This banquet is somewhat different from what I imagined. It does not look like the style of a stable and iron-blooded lord, but more like a social gathering held for aristocratic young masters and businessmen's heirs." Kafka sipped the red wine and looked at it. The crowded Aesol Palace Hall said casually.
"Well, it is said that the lord's banquet style last year was that everyone sat on their corresponding chairs. The young people sat on the highness, and the respectable people sat in the hall. In short, they were divided into three, six, and nine grades, just like It's a gathering of warriors from a certain country in ancient times, it's very old-fashioned." Jiang Fan said without raising his head.
"It seems that this special banquet has a special meaning."
"Moss's daughter Elise has reached the age to get married, so of course Moss will choose a good son-in-law with both political integrity and talent through today's dinner. Look at them." Jiang Fan raised his head and pursed his lips, Swallowed the lobster in his mouth.
"Everyone is walking in the hall wearing a gentle mask, trying to show their grace and humor. There are even some middle-aged men who want to display their mature charm and are eager to be attracted by Moss's daughter Elise If you are selected, you can inherit this fat planet in the future. It is all a good calculation to gain both people and wealth." Jiang Fan took out a white handkerchief from his suit pocket and wiped the corners of his mouth, his movements as graceful as the way he had just devoured the food. Two completely different people.
"It seems you are not as useless as you thought."
"Correction, I'm just not good at fighting and assassination, but in terms of intelligence and ability to gather intelligence, I'll beat you ten times, Ms. Rose with thorns." Jiang Fan took a glass of red wine from the passing waiter and took a sip. He loosened the tie under his neck with his hands, and he really looked like an English nobleman at this moment.
"Don't call me those weird nicknames, and use your spiritual skills to ask. It's much more convenient than trying your best to find out the information." Kafka said calmly.
"Spelling is like cheating. I can't even imagine how happy I would be if I could have the ability to control people's hearts through talking." Jiang Fan hummed, "I can turn the empty check into reality and buy the whole thing." The largest winery in the universe, it’s a pleasure to be here.”
"There are still thirty-one minutes until the dinner starts. I really want to know what you are going to do." Kafka ignored his muttering and looked down at the time on his watch.
"It's a very simple process. When he comes out, I will be responsible for standing outside the palace to help you look out. You will be responsible for killing everyone in the palace, a lone hero. Then we will detonate the bomb and escape. It is a perfect plan."
The two of them were standing in a remote corner of the hall at this time. No one wanted to waste every minute and second showing off their style, and no one wanted to miss out on the wealth that was pouring into the sky.
So naturally no one was willing to go to their remote corner to eavesdrop on their meaningless conversation, especially when Kafka used his spiritual power to control several men in black to escort them.
Kafka looked up and stared into Jiang Fan's eyes in silence for a few seconds, until a white-haired man wearing white gloves and a smart tuxedo pushed open the door to the second floor and gently shook the brass bell. The young men and women who were chatting and laughing stopped talking instantly, and the hall became quiet.
"Is that Moss?" Kafka's lips moved slightly, and his hand quietly touched his waist.
"No, Moss is not ready to do the job of ringing the bell. The rightful owner will be here soon." Jiang Fan chose a bottle of 7689 Haubian, opened the bottle cap and took a small sip from the bottle.
"Now let's ask the master of Morka, Lord Moss, to give us a speech." After the hall became quiet, the white-haired butler spoke.
Jiang Fan originally thought it would be a long and stinky preface, but he didn't expect that the old man's speech was unexpectedly concise, as if the chef at a state banquet opened the cover to reveal the spicy hotpot on the plate.
Just when Jiang Fan was dazed for a moment, thunderous applause erupted in the hall. Every young man had respect and admiration on his face, and some even shed tears with excitement. Applause came one after another, as if the scene being staged now was... An event worthy of being recorded in history.
But Jiang Fan was a little confused. He just held the wine bottle and looked around. He couldn't see where Moss was. He could only see a vague shadow approaching from the second floor.
"Forty years ago, Molka was a planet dominated by agriculture. Although the weather was good and there was no need to worry about food and housing, in a world full of swords, guns and artillery, people could not expect that the seeds they planted would grow into cannons. Later, the greed of people far exceeded the bottom line of morality. At that time, Molka was like a baby holding a gold bar. Anyone could land a spaceship at the port of Molka and cut off a corner of the gold bar." Boots stepped on The sound was clearly audible on the floor, coming from far to near.
"But forty years later, Morka is now famous for its mercenaries in the Hills Galaxy. Even the notorious interstellar pirates are intimidated by us. Every young man who can stand here today is a talented person. , is Morka’s guest.”
"I don't have to play charades with you about the purpose of this banquet. This banquet is also a selection meeting for my beloved daughter Elise to choose a husband."
The polished leather shoes stepped on the mahogany floor, and the middle-aged man wearing a red suit with dark stripes was also exposed to everyone's sight. Moss stood behind the guardrail on the second floor, scanning everyone below, like an emperor reviewing the army. .
After a moment of silence, someone clapped vigorously, and then everyone started to applaud. Everyone's eyes were shining with excitement. The matter of Moss's daughter choosing a husband was not a secret, and Moss had never thought of keeping it secret. By making this public, it can be said that Moss's words were like a flame igniting dry wood, and the hearts of all young men began to burn.
It doesn't matter if you haven't met Elise, it doesn't matter even if Elise is a tank, none of the young men who come here have the idea of finding true love. They represent the forces behind it and involve the future heirs of the family. choice, but as long as you climb the big tree of Moss, any problem will no longer be a problem.
"Today's guests are all absolute leaders among young people, the elites among the elites, and the hope for the future of the Hills Galaxy. I also look forward to finding a talent among you that my little girl can admire." Moss looked around. , showing a satisfied smile.
Kafka drank red wine as if nothing had happened. He and all the girls present remained silent and did not speak or applaud. To others, Kafka's sips of wine seemed like he was being hit. He was the kind of person who was robbed of the limelight. The sadness afterwards.
But Kafka's mind was not on that chord at all. She was just curious about why Jiang Fan, who had looked disdainful a second ago, suddenly started applauding vigorously, even in awe, with an expression on his face that could hardly be said to be "life." A true friend is rare, and a true friend is the most difficult to find throughout the ages.”
Doesn't he know that he is not one of the elites invited by Moss? He is just a fake witness dealer who got invitations by betraying his sex. He really has nothing to do with the elite.
Moss looked around and nodded with satisfaction as he listened to the wave of applause, which was higher than the previous wave. But before he could open his mouth to encourage the group of howling wolf cubs below, the crisp and rapid sound of high heels could be heard. Come on, I was surprised to suppress all the applause.
"I'm sorry everyone, that is my last choice in life. The Vols Galaxy boxing champion, nicknamed Devil Muscle Man, the ancient boxing master, Taki."
The crisp sound of high-heeled shoes is getting closer and closer. A pair of straight and slender legs first catches everyone's sight, and then they move their eyes upward to see a black dress with a gauze texture, a face like a Greek sculpture, and long black hair shawl with permed ends. With a C shape, her temperament and appearance are simply unmatchable, even compared to the red-haired lady in the corner.
