Chapter 887: Pond Fish

For some reason, it suddenly became dark. ○

It rained cats and dogs.

A thunderbolt pierced the clouds, and in an instant the iron tree exploded like a silver flower, and half of the sky was bright with snow, dazzling people's eyes.

Horn would not be dazzled by the electric light, he looked away from the porthole of the spaceship. The baffle outside the window is slowly lowering, covering the wind and rain outside. In this severe rainstorm, the "Black Hawk" was not affected by the thunderstorm at all. After a while of gliding, it drew a beautiful arc and plunged into the rain clouds below. The lightning, thunder and fire kept hitting its body, but it was completely absorbed by a protective shield.

A moment later, the spaceship jumped out of the clouds and flew in the direction of Area 21 in the rain.

There were soft lights in the hull, Horn was sitting on a comfortable armchair, and there were only two cups of coffee on the dining table in front. One of the cups belonged to Horn, and the other cup was of course the guard sitting opposite him. Anna was flicking the light screen of the smart brain in her hand silently, and a series of secret orders were sent out with the movement of her fingers. When they were far above the altitude of a thousand meters, several surface forces of the family, including Area 21, moved towards the location designated by Anna.

Looking at the silent warrior, Horn smiled: "Don't be so serious, Anna. You should smile more, especially women, so that you can appear close."

Anna put down her mind, took a sip of coffee and said, "I don't need to make people feel close, as long as I can protect the master, it doesn't matter if I have a bad face."

Horn shook his head and laughed: "It's nice to say, but I'm still annoyed that I didn't listen to your persuasion and insisted on going to District 21."

Anna frowned and sighed: "Master, Baker invited you to negotiate. Although he chose Tire's site to avoid suspicion. But you also know that the old Baker and Tire have been flirting with each other. Tire has remained neutral all these years. It’s true, but who knows for sure that he won’t be bribed by Old Baker. Of course, I know that the master has always done his best, and since he agreed to the appointment, he must be absolutely sure.”

"Well, our Anna can also flatter me, especially because it's so handy, not bad." Horn flicked the cup with his fingers, and the coffee in the cup immediately rippled. Looking at these ripples, Horn said: "Anna, you I also know. Our little Allen has made great contributions this time, and His Excellency the President not only gave him a first-class contribution, but also awarded the cloud and iron star to Beth Keld by name. Regarding this matter, What do you think?"

Anna heard the words and said: "Of course it's a good thing. In this way, Master Allen will secure the number one position in the draft. No one will criticize him, right? Besides, with Yuntiexing, our family's strength can be further improved." It is a great thing to climb to a higher level and save at least ten years of hard work. That is, that is..."

Horn continued for her: "It's just too eye-catching."

The Patriarch of Beth Kede sighed: "First-class military merit and Yun Tie Xing,

Getting any of them is a great benefit to Allen and the family. But if you have both, you think it's too sharp. We have been in the limelight for the past few years, and there is really no need to add icing on the cake. Now that we have gained so many benefits for nothing, it has pushed us to the forefront. "

Horn snorted: "Our Excellency the President may not have good intentions."

"Sir, what do you mean?"

"Anna, if you pay attention, you will know that all past presidents have come from civilians or the military, and never from aristocratic families." Horn closed his eyes, as if resting his mind, and continued: "Whether it is a powerful family, Even a wealthy family. No matter how hard you try, you can’t send the chess pieces in your hand to the real power core of the Federation. After hundreds of years, you think that there is no such kind of political talent among us? It’s not that there is no, but No way to get in. That inner circle was closed to us in the first place."

"After the Battle of Daybreak, the earth was devastated, and the power of the country was completely wiped out. When the Federation was first established, it had no manpower but no resources. However, some families that had preserved part of their heritage before the war had mastered the most urgently needed strategic resources for the Federation at that time. , so there was the first cooperation between the family and the federation. At that time, the federation and the aristocracy were a win-win situation. But now, it may not be..." Horn said softly: "Although we have always There are rules of non-intervention, but the line is blurring over time. We are a fishbone in the throats of successive Presidents of the Confederacy, and it is only a matter of time before we are removed. But from now on Judging by your generosity, the Federation is about to start doing it."

Anna's face turned cold: "If Morbitt wants to offend the nobles, it will be a lose-lose situation. Don't forget that there is still a gate of freedom on the surface of the surface, and he is so unwise?"

Horn chuckled: "You underestimate our President too much. Military achievements and Yuntiexing are nothing but bait thrown into this pool called the nobles. Now these two bait fell into a big fish called Beth Kede. But look, there are too many baits and the big fish can’t swallow them all at once. It’s hard to guarantee that other big and small fish and shrimp in the pond will have no idea. The fish and shrimp are fighting to their death, but the water in this pool will be muddied after all. If the water in the pool is muddled, who can see clearly what will happen in the water? Even if they take the opportunity to swim into a shark named Federation at this time, probably no one will see clearly. By then , No matter how big or small the fish is, it will eventually get into the shark's blood."

"Our president is planning a long-term overall situation. The overthrow of the nobles starts with him. But when it will end, he may not be able to see it, but he does it resolutely. Mobit is a man of great courage."

Anna was shocked.

"The water in the pool is about to start to get mixed up, so I don't have the patience to serve Old Baker little by little. If our big fish can't be united before the water gets mixed up, we don't need sharks to move our mouths, so we should give it to other fish and shrimps." The food is clean. Old Baker must have been fully prepared before he dared to invite me to negotiate. Then I will follow his wishes and cut the mess quickly. Although some blood will be shed in the end, it is better than being eaten by others , Don’t you think so?” Horn opened his eyes, and there was a flash of lightning in his eyes: “It’s just that Old Baker’s perfect preparation is just his own wishful thinking.”

In Area 21 on the surface of the surface, there is a city known all over the world. The city with the same name as the old casino Las Vegas is also a casino itself. There are many casinos and hotels here. Some people get rich overnight here, while others become poor overnight. Life has its ups and downs, but that's all.

In the gambling city, there is a Jinfan clubhouse, which is both a hotel and a casino. This club has a medium reputation, a medium profit, and a medium scale. In fact, it is insufficient compared to the top, and more than the bottom. The only thing that can be obtained is the qualifications. In the casino city, regardless of the business of the hotel and casino, the ups and downs are just like the life in this city. Leaving aside, let's just talk about how many casinos in this city have opened and closed in the short ten years. The ones that can be left are very rare.

Jin Fan has nothing else but seniority. Old seniority, of course there will always be regular customers, especially those who spend a lot of money. Those gamblers who spend a lot of money don't choose places to gamble randomly. If the casino is newly opened, if you don’t know the basics, God knows if you will be bullied by the shop. If you see a customer winning too much, you will turn your face if you say it. There are not no such casinos, but there are too many. Jin Fan has a good reputation in this regard, you can win as much as you want, and you will never do that kind of backstabbing. And word of mouth, is the precipitation of time.

So after so many years, Jinfan has stood firm. Although it will not be full every night, it will not be crowded. What's rare is that after so many years of operation, the boss behind him may not necessarily expand the scale. So Jin Fan maintained his original appearance, and walked down like this during the ten years of wind and rain in this gambling city.

But tonight Jin Fan made a move that was puzzling.

Jinfan clubhouse, which is open all year round and has been running like a day for ten years, issued an announcement to suspend business early tonight. But at about 8 o'clock in the evening, there was a speeding car driving to the door of the clubhouse, it was obvious that a distinguished guest came to the door.

But the lobby manager who was waiting early at the gate knew that those were not VIPs, but vicious guests. At this time, a short and thin old man got out of the first flying car. He didn't look conspicuous at all, but the lobby supervisor had been told that it was the old Baker from the eighth district. Old Baker had the nickname of a butcher when he was young, although he hadn't done that kind of beating and killing a long time ago. But that face that looked like it was about to die was always full of evil spirits. Then he smiled sideways, even though the executive was used to the scene, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his back.

He hastened to greet her.

Before he got there, he was stopped by a man with a slanted scar on his face. Lei Dian looked at the supervisor expressionlessly, and said dully, "Stand here and talk."

The supervisor dared not speak out, and forced a smile that was uglier than crying and said to the old man: "Master Baker, Mr. Thiel has been waiting for a long time."

Old Baker seemed a little absent-minded. He glanced behind at the bodyguards wearing sunglasses and suits, and replied with a "hmm". The supervisor in the lobby only felt that he was really cold, but he didn't dare to care about it. Arguing with the butcher is pure impatience. He had prepared a set of gorgeous rhetoric, but this time he quickly swallowed it in his stomach. Seeing his appearance, he was obviously not in the mood to deal with such a small person as himself, so he should hurry up and lead someone.

The supervisor bowed and said, "Follow me, please," before leading the way.

Old Baker waved his hand, and Thunder went first. Old Baker was in the middle, and five bodyguards walked behind him. According to the previous agreement, no one is allowed to carry weapons. Otherwise, as soon as you enter the door, the alarm at the door should sound. Old Baker walked neither fast nor slow, looked ahead, but said to himself: "How sure are you against Horn?"

"The number is five to five." A voice came from behind.

"Five points? That's not a lot. I hope you don't talk about it." Old Baker said in a dark voice.
