Chapter 373
In early December, Demingham was slowly recovering from the turmoil that followed the crash of a new airship.
With the demise of the Saintess Society, most of the people supported by their hands will inevitably lead to a certain ending that has already been set.
But that doesn’t mean all, there are always a few people who are special.
Connery Owen, for example, is currently the Chief of Police in Demingham.
He is the current Demingham hero, pulling strongly against a crazy tide in the disaster caused by the new airship, and in the next period of time, he will preside over the overall situation and stabilize Demingham’s situation.
People worship him and take him as an example, and even some idle literati in the society began to write some praises or personal biographies for him. Connery Owen’s biography is published without a shadow.
Such a person, he naturally cannot disappear inexplicably, he has to continue to stand on the stage.
So Connery Owen received an invitation to a family dinner from Semir today.
Compared to the crowding round with attendants, when Connery actually walked into the Garcia family mansion, his upright spine bent down involuntarily, and his hands rubbed unconsciously. , this habitual error should have been strictly trained he would never make mistakes.
Saintess would disappear, he noticed that his so-called “colleagues” resigned one by one, fell ill…he naturally knew the real reason.
Under the nest, there will be no eggs.
It’s just that he can be chosen as Connery Owen’s replacement, and naturally he has some brains.
He understands that running away at this time is die without a burial site, and his body protection symbol is Connery Sean’s identity as the police chief.
So he came without the slightest hesitation when he received the invitation to the family dinner.
The shiny leather boots stepped on the brown and red stone bricks with different textures, and there was a crisp click in the empty corridor.
Many people thought this rhythmic sound was nice, but in Connery’s mind, it was about the same sound as the death knell.
When he walked to the study, there were no guards at the door, and the delicate wooden door was hidden.
A cold sweat hangs down her face.
Maybe it was because of a guilty conscience, or other emotions, he pushed open the door directly and swept his eyes subconsciously across the entire study.
The first thing I saw was Semir Garcia sitting behind a desk with a document in his hand.
There is a tall, imposing young woman sitting on the window sill of the study with one leg over the window frame, which is naturally extremely rude in front of the mayor, but she still does it .
A man with his back turned to him seems to have a map in front of him, on which he is sketching with a pencil and a ruler.
There is also a man standing in front of the bookshelf, with a mechanical mask on his face and a ship model in his hand, looking carefully.
He had never seen the three other than the mayor, but the study where these people existed gave him a lot of pressure.
A layer of clear comprehension suddenly rose in his heart.
These talents are the real top figures in Demingham today, and his fate is in their hands.
None of them spoke.
In fact, only Mr. Mayor was really looking at Connery Owen.
“…you summon me, what’s the matter?”
After a very short silence, maybe less than 3 seconds, Connery took a step forward , one-knee kneels, right hand elbow on knee, head bowed, asked softly.
This kneeling, this question, the meaning is clear.
From now on, he is no longer the chief of police, just a servant of the great character in front of him.
“Hey you are a patriarch of the Owen family, how can you kneel.”
Semir held a ring engraved with the Garcia family crest in his hand. Taken from another “Semir Garcia”.
Let’s talk about it, but it doesn’t mean to help in the past at all.
If this was the real Connery Owen, he wouldn’t kneel, and since he knelt down, there was no reason to help him.
“In front of you, what qualifications do I have to stand…”
He knew that the other party was mocking him, how could he dare to reply.
“Don’t worry, you won’t die, Demingham still needs you now… I’ll give you a task, finish it, don’t kill you.”
Semir really had no interest in talking to such a person.
“You said.”
“This is Miss Nancy Edwards. She’s going to be the next police chief, you understand?”
“I understand!”
Nancy • Edward, when he heard the surname, he understood.
“It seems that there is some reason for them to choose you to sit in this position. After that, you will listen to her. Of course, outside, you are still the chief of the police department…go to work Well, Mr. Owen, are you really waiting for me to throw a family dinner for you?”
“Thank you for your forgiveness, I won’t let you down.”
This fate is Saved, Connelly Owen exited trembling with fear, and closed the door before leaving.
Have a subordinate attitude.
“I didn’t say I was going to be the chief of police!”
and the others left before Nancy spoke.
“It’s only temporary, Nancy, I know that with your ability you will definitely not be satisfied with staying in Demingham to be a police chief, but now whether it is the Anomaly Bureau or the police station, the strength is A big discount, to tell you the truth, Demingham is the weakest time now, and you need high-end battle strength like you to defend Demingham.”
Demingham is different from other cities, due to the overseas islands’ Existence, the number of heretics far exceeds that of other areas. If there is no strong heretics to guard, the order originally established under the suppression of the two dominant powerhouses may be destroyed. Demingham, who has experienced this turmoil It will not be able to withstand another devastation in a short period of time.
“Two years.”
Nancy will only stay in Demingham for two years. She slept for too long and finally woke up. Naturally, she has to go out and watch this world. .
“Enough, we have found the firework experiment data that Dalton Warren hid, and it can be used to repair the defects in your body caused by the firework experiment in the past two years. After that , we will not stop you wherever you go.”
Two years is enough for them to recruit and train a new team of heretics.
even more how they didn’t have the power and wouldn’t want to ask Nancy what to do.
“Counting the time, Lord Darren should be arriving at Demingham Heavy Prison by now, right?”
Walsh, who was sitting opposite Semir, glanced at his pocket watch. Move the conversation to what’s most important right now.
“Donald Grant was actually the one who helped Anthony Hopkins in the first place. Oh, if he hadn’t put forward this condition, maybe we would never have known that the person who changed the direction of public opinion overnight was actually It’s him.”
The government asked Donald to make conditions, and he would not miss this opportunity, and releasing Anthony was just one of the items on the list.
At that time, the government took a lot of effort to suppress the matter of Anthony Hopkins, so Semir was also worried about this matter.
“Donald’s ability seems to be too strong…when the time comes if he finds out the truth of the matter, you are not afraid that he will come back and take revenge?”
Nancy reached for the lock on the window, turned her head suddenly and asked a little narrowly.
“The truth? What we told him is the truth, Nancy, you have to remember that our purpose is only to clear the threat posed by Holy Son, and this behavior is only a last resort.”
For Nancy’s question, Fern put down the ship model in his hand and turned around and said solemnly.
“Donald, I have dealt with him several times, and he was still an ally before. Don’t look at him now, he seems to be very talkative, he compromised without using the means you prepared, but that It is on the premise that he thinks it is profitable and he can complete the task himself, I still have to remind you, don’t underestimate him, this guy is aggressive, but he even had the heart to kill me at the beginning.”
Recalling the first time she met Donald after she regained control of her body and the weird aura she felt on the boat afterwards, Nancy subconsciously frowned.
Nancy never underestimated Donald.
This man hides some secrets that even she can’t see through.
“Don’t argue about this, what you two said has some truth, we do have some selfishness, but Holy Son’s problem has to be solved by the people in the Temple of Justice. What the body does is naturally beyond our control, so what happened at that time has nothing to do with us. What we give is just a choice, how the Pope in the Temple of Justice chooses, that is his business, and Donald will consider it true afterwards. If you want to get revenge, how can you find us.”
He picked up the documents on the table again, which was all Donald’s information, including his registration form when he was a teaching assistant at Imperial Family DeLorean and his entry The information filled in when the Anomaly Bureau is in.
“What’s up with Horn?”
Donald is in charge of Julia, who seals Holy Son’s soul, and Tiffany, who holds Holy Son’s body, naturally An escort is required.
“Very well, that’s the team we’ve prepared for a long time, ready to go at any time.”
Borsh released the nib from the map, his tone a little dull.
“Did you tell him the precautions?”
“Of course, after Holy Son’s body is handed over to the Temple of Justice, he must leave before the festival starts… That’s all, I told him to keep it a secret.”
Horn was one of the plan participants and was naturally entitled to know more.
even more how Semir’s daughter is also on the team.
In the end, there is no absolute justice in this world.
At least what they told Donald didn’t have the “notes” above.
“That’s good. When the two teams set off one after another, our mission will be completed, and then it will depend on the arrangement of fate.”
Get up and approach the study room with the materials There is a small charcoal stove inside, open the lid and stuff the materials diagonally in.
Watching the paper inside is ignited by the fire star, the flame rises along the corner, reflecting Semir s face.
On the other side, Mark Darren had left Demingham Heavy Prison and returned to the ship he came on with without any special signs.
The engine was on, but the ship was not heading for Demingham, but somewhere on the Osway Sea.
Anthony, who had changed into a new outfit, looked at Mark Darren, who had not yet figured out what was going on to allow the Deputy Mayor to come and pick him up from prison.
“Congratulations, Mr. Hopkins, at Mr. Grant’s request, you are free. This is for Mr. Grant. Please pass it on to him later.”
Mark Darren hands the suitcase to Anthony and directly explains why.
“Donald promises you what conditions?”
Anthony naturally wouldn’t think that the government would release a prisoner like him for no reason.
“Conditions? No, it’s just a reasonable, take what you need deal. You’re just a part of it. You’ll see Mr. Grant later, you can ask him slowly.”
Mark Darren didn’t say more when he said this, but just stood there with Anthony on the deck.
After driving for about half an hour, another boat appeared ahead.
Donald, Lilo, Stephanie, and Julia are on top, plus a Finger.
Donald and Stephanie are still waving at him.
The two ships met, and Anthony logically boarded the ship where Donald was.
“Mr Grant, everything you want is in that suitcase, along with a map we’ve prepared for you that identifies where you’re going and what’s available. The best route for reference.”
Donald had listed a lot of items in the list for the government before, and the two sides had to negotiate for a while before finally deciding.
“Excuse me.”
Donald took the suitcase and shook hands with the old man.
“It’s you who’s been working really hard. How far have I come? I wish you a pleasant journey.”
Mark Darren went back after saying that. gone and disappeared on the deck.
“Donald, you promised the government something, and the deputy mayor is so polite to you.”
Anthony put his hands on the side of the boat, breathing the air at sea, and he didn’t say anything. Mind the sea breeze messing up his already long hair.
“Just promise them to send a soul to the Temple of Justice.”
“Just to send a soul to the Temple of Justice…?”
Even if Anthony grew up in a non-belief area, he still knows the meaning of the name Temple of Justice. Hearing Zhu Jue say so casually, he smacked his lips and continued,
“I feel It’s not bad to be locked in a heavy prison.”
“Then why don’t I apply to the deputy mayor to put you back in prison? If you want, you can be locked up for a few more years. “
Donald raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.
“haha, that’s fine, I don’t want to eat potatoes and fish cakes all day, this trip seems to be a must… People say that there are many magical places in this inland area, which are even stranger than the overseas archipelago. On the way, maybe you can go to see it… After staying in one place for a long time, you must visit it. The world outside.”
Anthony wrapped his arms around Donald’s shoulders and ran his free hand through his hair, both of them looking into the distance.
“Look at the world outside…Interesting, then let’s take a good look! hahaha”
Donald burst out laughing.
