Chapter 348
Donald left with the suitcase in his hand, and a waiter outside the door led him to the second-floor lobby where the reception was held.
Compared with the tension when I came, not only did I not relieve it when I left, but the similar emotions deepened.
“Master Darren, the reception is about to start, is there anything I need to prepare in advance?”
The voice of steward sounded outside the door.
“There’s nothing to prepare, just go do your work first, I’ll go down on my own when the time comes.”
This is his resignation reception, which is the last time he bids farewell to Demingham politics At a reception for the general public, many people thought that he would save his reputation at this reception.
In his opinion, it’s just a routine, to avoid the edge for a while.
Open the drawer in front of him, take out a palm-size flat box, listen to the footsteps of Steward leaving, take out the brass key that he carries with him and open it.
The inside is a piece of paper folded in half. After unfolding, you can see that there are several names listed on it from top to bottom.
There are only five or so, and three of them have a black stroke on them.
Pick up the pen on the table, unscrew the cap, the tip of the pen falls on the paper, but does not start writing immediately.
“Dare to face the aliens of the dominant level, courage.”
“Being able to kill the opponent by means, strength.”
“Face me and give The reward still maintains a clear head and self-control.”
“After giving some hints, I can quickly associate the meaning of the words, and my thinking is quick.”
Mark When Darren wrote, he was used to speaking out some of the thinking processes in his mind in a tone that he could only hear.
“Maybe a good candidate…”
The index finger and thumb seem to be pressing down, ready to write the name of the person, but in the end they can’t write it down , pursed his lips, and moved the pen away from the paper, leaving only a black dot of ink.
“In the past, I lived in a religious area, and I should have left my hometown out of desperation. The origin is unknown.”
“Commoner background, the character is unknown.”
“After all, it hasn’t been tested for a long time…let’s wait and see.”
Re-fold the paper, put it back in the wooden box, retract the drawer, and stand up with one hand on the desk , leave the study.
On the other side, Donald handed the box in his hand to a waiter of the Darren family, indicating that it was something that was given to him by His Excellency Mark Darren, and the waiter immediately said that he would invite a special guard watch over.
It’s unsightly to walk around with a box.
But Donald didn’t know anyone here, so he didn’t have anything to socialize with. He glanced at the time, and there was still half an hour before the connection. He walked around the banquet hall first, and finally pretended to be Inadvertently stopped in front of a painting near the balcony and stopped to appreciate it.
Actually, he doesn’t know how to appreciate these masterpieces of unknown masters. Most of the time, he is studying whether the gold frame next to it is made of real gold or gilded.
The champagne in my hand was taken while I was wandering around just now. I took a sip after another, stopped when I was about halfway through, and occasionally took out my pocket watch and glanced at it.
Of course, he tried to conceal this action as much as possible. After all, the impatient state of wanting to leave before the party even started could easily attract attention.
There are not too many surprises in the next process. It starts with the appearance of Mark Darren. Although there are rumors everywhere now, the people here are facing in Demingham. As deputy mayor for several decades, everyone has shown enough respect.
The announcement of his resignation is also a major event, even Donald can only stand in the middle of the crowd, watching the old man on the stage talking, and involuntarily start thinking about the conversation in the study before.
Mark Darren rewarded himself for killing a dominant powerhouse, and like he said, he’s an old-man without any government positions.
So why can he represent the government?
Help yourself cover up the news and remind yourself that there is something wrong with the Anomaly Bureau…what’s this for?
My eyes stayed on the silhouette of Mark Darren when he spoke, because he deliberately stood behind the crowd, and the corner of his eyes occasionally swept over some people around him.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion or not, Donald noticed that some people are always looking away when Mark Darren is talking, not focusing on something, but with someone in that direction. Someone exchanged glances.
It wasn’t an inadvertent look at each other, it was more like a silent communication.
Donald once again had a hunch, or intuition, that he had also had when he had seen Tiffany Garcia suddenly appear to find Horn Shelley.
Now Demingham is gradually becoming a vortex, and his act of killing the dominant powerhouse seems to have brought him, who was originally just a marginal character, into this vortex.
This feeling of being out of control is bad.
And in Donald’s alone thinking, unconsciously Mark Darren’s speech is coming to an end, and then it’s time for free movement.
Looking at the time, I found that there was only a five-minute gap before the time of the connection. I hurriedly turned around and walked to the balcony, for fear that someone would occupy the place ahead of time.
It turns out that he thinks too much.
Although the window sill on the second floor of the Darren family is equipped with a ring-shaped floor-to-ceiling glass window, and there are many heaters inside, the temperature near the window sill is still much lower than the room due to the season. , so no one is on the windowsill at this time.
Fortunately, the weather tonight is not bad, maybe because it was cloudy for several days in a row, the moon looks particularly bright today.
Donald thought that if someone asked later, he would say that he was watching the moon here.
Leaning on the side of the balcony with a half glass of champagne, Donald also deliberately turned his body sideways into the room in order to allow the connector to see what he was holding.
My eyes wandered over the people passing by. As the time approached, there was an ordinary-looking person in a brown coat walking slowly towards the balcony.
Sometimes, the communication between people actually only needs one look. He walked towards Donald, and the eyes of the two only met for a moment, and they both had a rough understanding of each other’s hearts.
“The severe winter that belongs to Demingham is coming soon…”
As expected, the two sides approached, and he gave a password directly to the convenience, Donald nod , the two walked to the balcony.
“I thought it would be the Vice-President, what happened?”
The connector, apparently also from the Arboretum, noticed that Donald was a real face , could not help asking.
“It was originally Vice-President, and I happened to be invited, so Lord Williams entrusted me to complete the connection.”
Put the emblem of the Arboretum in the palm of your hand Glancing at the other party, the latter nodded his approval.
“Anomaly Bureau is going to attack the Arboretum in the near future!”
Now that the identity has been confirmed, the contact person will directly tell Donald the information he has obtained so far.
“What?”
As soon as he heard the news, Donald felt that the temperature of his whole body had dropped a lot at this moment, and he just relied on self-control to surge up in his heart. The sense of absurdity is suppressed.
Williams’ fears come true!
“Why did you suddenly attack the tree garden?”
Donald couldn’t understand this situation. It stands to reason that even if the government suspects the tree garden, it should first investigate and decide the next action. , but now from the tone of the other party, it seems like a direct action without even an ultimatum.
“I don’t know, I also just got the inside information. Dalton Warren and Connery Owen have reached an agreement. Both sides are determined to attack the overseas islands where the Arboretum is located in the near future. You must go back. Inform the president to evacuate our people as quickly as possible.”
“The Chief Anomaly Bureau and the Chief of Police… Now don’t go to the organization that attacked the new airship, In turn, do it on the people on his side? The mayor, agree?”
As a member of the Anomaly Bureau, Donald himself did not feel any movement or received any special orders.
In other words, this is a secret cooperation between the two armed forces in Demingham.
Even such a level of action would necessarily require the approval of the top leaders of the Demingham government, and Donald did not understand why such a decision could be taken so rashly.
You must know that the Arboretum is not meat on the chopping block. It also has the ability to resist. Although Lord Williams is not a dominant powerhouse, he is also a wizard who awakens Peak.
As I said before, wizards are different from other pagans, their abilities are not limited to their own innate talent, but also a spell system extended by their own innate talent.
Just like Donald’s previous release of the Level 4 spell at the Authority Level, he can also fight against the Awakening Level powerhouse in the thunderstorm. If you really work hard, who can guarantee that you will not suffer from both sides?
“It seems to be the case now. The senior officials of the Demingham government have passed the qi. They seem to have determined that there is a problem in the tree garden. You take this communication crystal and give it to the president as soon as possible. , he’ll understand.”
Suddenly put a crystal in Donald’s pocket, then turned his back and stopped talking.
Whatever the reason, now is not the time to explore the reasons behind it, let alone make any moves of surrender.
There is only one way left for the Arboretum, retreat.
Get out of Demingham as fast as you can!
Drinking the champagne in a toast, Donald no longer hesitated and strode away.
At this moment, the person connecting with him turned his head to look in a certain direction behind him, and then his body started and walked to the stairs on the second floor without a trace.
Go all the way up and push the door open.
Donald came out of it not long ago.
“Your Excellency Darren, the message has been passed on to the Arboretum, do you have anything to do with me?”
According to the plan, he should leave immediately after passing the message.
“Is it someone from your Arboretum who spoke to you just now?”
Mark Darren didn’t stay at the reception for too long, and finished speaking in the name of being unwell left.
“Yes, it’s a raw face, I haven’t seen it before.”
He was a little strange, why this great character would care about a person who was with him.
“Go down.”
The casual wave made people back down, Mark Darren propped his chin on his left hand, muttered in a low voice,
“didn’ t expect this youngster still has the identity of the tree garden…this is different.”
