Chapter 529 Assassination (please subscribe)
"Every piece of tableware must be arranged neatly, flowers must be purchased in advance, and the most important thing is wine. How can a celebration be without wine? Mrs. Molly next door likes champagne, and Mr. Suncor likes red wine..."
Inside the villa, Old Brown was busy.
Even John was directed to do a lot of work.
This was in preparation for the New Year's party, and as Mr. Levi, a newcomer to this neighborhood, was holding a New Year's ball for the first time, it was obviously extremely important.
After working for most of the day, John was able to return to his room.
Because he was a valet, he had a separate residence.
At this time, he was secretly glad that it was so convenient that it allowed him to pray every day:
"The Great Being of the Infinite Mystery, the Favored One of Truth, the Lord of Divine Shows... Your servant prays to you..."
This is actually similar to a daily report. John doesn't know why he does this, but it seems that those who believe in the Lord of the Gate do this.
And most of them will never get a response in their lifetime.
In comparison, he was lucky enough. Even though the master of the show had not responded to his prayers since that ceremony, it could not shake John's faith.
This time, after praying, John clearly felt a difference.
His vision became hazy, as if he had entered a dream, but he could remain awake.
Immediately, he saw the festive city of Carleston, which was immersed in New Year's celebrations. He saw the Shouchak Center in the city, the tall fountain, and the surrounding dolphin statues. He was deeply impressed and could never admit it.
The scene disappeared, and John saluted devoutly again: "Praise the great Lord of Shenxiu."
Immediately, he began to think about the oracles and revelations given to him by the gods.
"It was during the New Year celebrations, and there was another day...my Lord showed this scene, did he want me to go to the Shouchak Center on that day?"
"What will happen next to the fountain?"
As for why he didn't tell him directly, in John's opinion, it was a matter of course.
God can give you revelation, which is already a great gift. Mortals should not expect too much.
"This revelation is very clear. It should mean this. I must fulfill my Lord's oracle!"
With firm eyes, John walked out of the room and knocked on Mr. Levi's study door.
"Oh? John, what can you do?"
Zhong Shenxiu was reading a book, and lying next to him was a pure-blood hound that was said to have just been bought.
But John felt that Mr. Levi was afraid that he had been deceived by profiteers. The blood of this hound did not seem pure, and he often ran out and disappeared for most of the day.
"It's like this, I...I want to take leave during the New Year celebration...I know this is when the servants should be busy, but I have something urgent!"
John secretly decided that if his master refused, he would have to complete the oracle even if he resigned.
This is inconsistent with his original character and is an effect of being changed.
"Oh, it's normal for young people to want to join in the fun..."
Zhong Shenxiu smiled gently: "I approve it and give you a day off. Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year, Master!"
John bowed deeply and sighed in his heart: "This must be a miracle from our Lord!"
…
It's snowing heavily.
One by one, ladies and gentlemen dressed in costumes entered the Mojito family's mansion.
"Ms. Molly...welcome, I hope you like the Queen's Champagne here."
As the host, Zhong Shenxiu greeted each guest at the door, and Old Brown stood behind him, ready to remind him at any time.
The old butler was a little dissatisfied because John, as a personal servant, was absent at such an important moment!
"Mr. Suncor... we can enjoy the batch of cigars I just got together later, the pure Inland flavor..."
Zhong Shenxiu is smiling all over her face and is very polite in dealing with others, making it impossible for anyone to make a single mistake.
In fact, he was still distracted.
With the help of John's perspective, he saw the center of downtown Shouchak.
This is also where Zhu Qingliu and the others plan to assassinate!
Of course, Zhu Qingliu kept this secret from Zhong Shenxiu, but... it was seen by Mermond.
At this time, John was wrapped in a thick coat, squatting in a corner, staring at the snowflakes in the sky and the bustling pedestrians, silently praying to the Lord of Shenxiu.
'Well... with the help of the connection formed by the other party's prayer, I can descend into some of the personages and exert a small part of my strength...'
‘Is this kind of ritual magic, when it reaches its peak, a divine gift? ’
'If Zhu Qingliu and the dog can't solve it, I'm going to help cover it up... Well, I also have a perfect alibi. ’
While Zhong Shenxiu let the band play music in the hall, he entered the dance floor with a beautiful lady on his arm and danced the first dance of the day, thinking silently in his heart.
…
Downtown Shouchak.
Many dolphin sculptures surround the pool and emit fountains.
On this day of the New Year celebration, there will be a grand fireworks show in the evening, so many people gather.
A carriage was driving slowly through the street, and Congressman Bohnke was riding on it.
He has rough features, a thick blond beard and a serious demeanor.
At this time, he opened a pocket watch in his hand: "I have to get to Prince Wallace's ball 15 minutes early. I made an appointment with Duke Merlin to prepare to promote the Homestead Act..."
"Do not worry."
On the side, his secretary and bodyguard, blue-eyed Anthony, smiled and said: "I have told the coachman in advance that I have chosen a route that avoids the crowds..."
"Anthony, your arrangements are always in line with my wishes."
Councilor Bohnke opened the curtains and looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky and the huge fountain, his eyes slightly lost in thought.
At the same time, he seemed to notice a line of sight.
It came from a veiled woman wearing a fox fur coat, holding a big black umbrella, with slender legs, and looking at her with eyes that seemed to be able to speak.
The two eyes suddenly met each other.
Bonke didn't feel any heartbeat or teasing, but suddenly felt an extremely dangerous feeling.
He covered his heart and screamed: "There's an attack!"
He is only a second-rank [Warrior], but he also collected some cursed objects through his investments and money-making after becoming a member of Parliament.
One of them is called the 'Incomplete Heart'. It needs to drink a lot of blood from its owner every once in a while, but it can provide a certain premonition before danger comes.
"If you kill one person and all the people in the world are happy, then kill him!"
Zhu Qingliu held a black umbrella and chanted in a low voice: "This person has done evil and deserves to be killed!"
Although it is just to assassinate a congressman and delay it for a few months at most, the bill will eventually be passed when it should be passed, but it is enough!
