Chapter 474 Prelude to the World Conference
Tianhu Manor,
A messy family meeting room.
Faced with the sudden turn of events from the offspring who had expressed their support for her not long ago, and the scrutiny of the elders of the Tianhu clan whose faces were covered with wrinkles, Mrs. Aphra Bate couldn't help but sighed in her heart.
She didn't open her mouth to argue for herself.
Not because facts speak louder than words.
but because,
There are people behind her.
The ninth-rank man from the Tianshi tribe took a step forward, stood in front of Mrs. Aphra, and said to the people around him, "I was with Mrs. Bart when I came back. When we got to the conference room, there was nothing here. people."
"who are you?"
The elder of the Tianhu clan asked in a cold voice.
"It doesn't matter who I am."
Before the complexions of those old Tianhu people changed, the man added, "The important thing is... I'm here on behalf of my wife."
The elder of the Tianhu clan who asked the question heard the words, and subconsciously thought that the "madame" the other party mentioned was Aphra Bart.
It wasn't until he saw the badge with the lion's family crest tattooed on the opponent's body that he realized who the wife in front of the man was talking about.
There is only one wife in the nine families of heaven and man.
That is the wife of the Tianshi clan.
Although the clan elders of the Tianhu Clan these days are of extraordinary strength, every single one of them is enough to stand alone.
However, time is running out.
If you can't break through the shackles above the Ninth Five-Year Plan, your time will soon come and you will fall silently.
The more this is the case, the less willing they are to offend the real power figures of these nine families.
After all, the strong in the Ninth and Fifth Realms are also human beings, and they need food, clothing, housing and transportation. The powerful people in the upper capital city area provide them with generous logistical support, saving a lot of time to devote themselves to clean up.
At this moment, the Ninth Five Realm expert from the Tianshi clan added again, "In fact, the third-generation young master sent by the head of the Tianlong clan today also supported Mrs. Bart with me."
The final word.
With these words, the faces of the elders of Tianhu Bart's family looked at Aphra Bart with relief.
They don't care who is the head of the family, they just need a stable environment for cultivation to break through that layer of shackles as soon as possible to prolong their lives. Aphra Bate has the support of the Tianlong and Tianshi clans, of course they are happy to see it.
As for what kind of deal the two parties have reached behind the scenes, these old guys don't care, anyway, it is impossible to empty out Tianhu Bart's house, so that the green hills will be left without worrying about no firewood.
Living to their age, those eyes that have experienced vicissitudes of life have seen too many reincarnations of the world.
There is no such thing as a free lunch.
This is true for the Tianhu Bart family, and it is also true for the Tianshi and Tianlong clans who are secretly ready to move.
What the other party took away today will eventually be returned when the generation of the Tianhu Bart family rises in the future.
After all,
Still strength decides everything.
Seeing this, the remaining offshoot children couldn't help being dumbfounded. They didn't expect that Aphra Bate, instead of being held accountable by the clan elders, seemed to be recognized with the support of the two major families.
The young boy from the side branch just now felt unwilling, and wanted to say something else, but the old man on the side quickly grabbed him, and shook his head secretly with a somewhat ugly expression.
The old man can at least see the situation clearly.
The matter has come to this point, no matter how unwilling they are as side branches, they can only eat the bitter fruit and swallow it in their stomachs.
And since the body of one of the two saboteurs who infiltrated Tianhu Bart's manor today is right in front of him, the other one may have absconded long ago, and no one in the huge manor has noticed the movements of Higashinohara. The clan elders naturally returned back the same way soon.
Under the bond of blood relationship, while enjoying the superior benefits of the Nine Greats of Heaven and Man, they are also super powerful. Although they also have the obligation to protect the family, they don't have the spare time and time to help chase the murderer.
In fact, after confirming that there is no danger inside the family manor, the mission of the clan elders is completed.
Before noon, several clan elders left the manor one after another, and the rest of the hunt was naturally left to professionals.
——That is the Tribunal.
It's a pity that the Judgment Department doesn't seem to be that professional in the matter of hunting down Higashinohara, otherwise it would be impossible to find nothing for such a long time.
However, the bloody incident that happened in the meeting room of the Tianhu Bart family today caused the death of a large number of offshoot children and cut off a large part of the power of the thinly populated Tianhu Bart family in this generation. There is also good news for the adjudication department who came after reporting the case.
——That was the commander of the Western Army, Okumura Baldi, who was finally "executed".
Although the person who killed him was also a wanted criminal for murdering several judges, but this time the judge wanted to say "good kill".
You know, Okumura Baldi has been active for so many years in the underground organization of the Dawn Revolutionary Army Western Army in the upper Kyoto metropolitan area, and it has become a huge historical stain to avoid the arrest of the Judgment Division many times.
Now he died suddenly in Bart's manor. For a while, the judge who took over the case couldn't help but sigh "good death".
Of course, if both parties were to die at the scene, and the body of the number one enemy recognized by the Judgment Department was also there, then the champagne would have already been opened on the way the Judgment Department came by car.
It is a pity that when the members of the Judgment Department arrived at the manor, Higashinohara had already left the mausoleum of the successive patriarchs of the underground Tianhu Bart family.
That's right, after looking at the family monument, Higashinohara found the way out very easily - no wonder Aphra Bate didn't mention this at all when he hid him in the mausoleum, presumably he was convinced that Higashinohara I can find my way out.
In addition, I have to say that Aphra Bart just wanted to help her daughter in a hurry.
Let Dorothy Alita, who was living at sea, have something to rely on in the face of the liquidation of the World Government and the Judgment Division, so Dong Yeyuan was stuffed into the tomb of the previous Patriarchs of Tianhu.
I'm afraid she never thought of it,
Higashinohara read through the sacred words engraved on the bottom of the family monument that even she didn't know a few words, and completely understood the secrets of the ancestors of heaven and man before they leaped to this world thousands of years ago. The matter was restored, and even before leaving, he took pictures with his mobile phone to save evidence.
But what role will these shocking secrets of heaven and man play in the historical process of this world? Or is it just like a stone that can only stir up some waves?
Now say this,
It all seems a little too early.
Half a month later.
May 17.
Maizi House,
Stafford Private Great Sword Academy.
In the early morning, the early summer sun shone in from the window, leaving a dazzling light spot on the floor of the boys' dormitory 426.
Higashinohara hung up the phone call with his hometown, and learned that the two weeks since returning from a trip to Okinawa had been peaceful, and the person who had provided scholarships to international students had never been to Koshimizu Town again, so he couldn't help feeling slightly relieved.
Half a month ago, he killed the commander of the Western Army, Okumura Baldi, in the manor of Tianhu Bart's family half a month ago, taking advantage of the fact that the other party had not accurately determined his specific identity.
Now it seems that this is the quickest and most effective way to cut off those minions reaching out to his family, and it can be regarded as a complete deterrent to these underground revolutionary forces with a huge intelligence network.
Calculate carefully,
Now the ninth-level powerhouses who died under Higashinohara's knife can't be counted in one slap, and there are even nine-level five powerhouses among them.
Even if there are still remnants in the Dawn Revolutionary Army, if they want to find out about him, they will still miss their own weight and consequences.
After all, the Dawn Revolutionary Army is a huge organization, and Higashinohara is just one person, and it seems that he doesn't even belong to any party from his actions.
As long as the remaining remnants of the Dawn Revolutionary Army are still clear-headed, it is impossible to say that they only want to avenge Okumura Baldi, and then provoke Higashinohara, the ultimate "killer" who can kill even the second verdict with a demon sword. Things can be said to be harmful to their organization but not beneficial.
Coupled with the approaching of the World Conference and the frenzied mopping up by the Joint Judgment Department of the Kami-Kyo Metropolitan Police Department, the remnants of the leaderless Dawn Revolutionary Army also suddenly settled down.
For nearly half a month, there was no news in the Beijing news.
In the past, the celestial aristocrats in Shangjing must have ridiculed that the dogs of the Judgment Department were so struggling to catch mice.
But no one paid attention to these during this time.
At the end of April, what happened in Tianhu Bart's World Bank Building was gradually exposed, and it was widely known by more and more heavenly beings and human beings.
For a time, Wano Country's "Disciplinary Committee" and "Captain Dragonfly" became the center of a storm of heated discussions among countless celestial aristocrats in the upper Kyoto metropolitan area.
Higashinohara's series of actions in the upper Kyoto metropolitan area were gradually sorted out and exposed in front of countless heavenly nobles?
More and more celestial aristocrats began to pay attention to this "extremely outrageous" human being. After all, this time was different from Higashinohara's previous time in New Tokyo.
In the new Tokyo of the Wano country, even if Higashinohara beheaded a few adjudicators, in the eyes of the heavenly nobles in the upper Kyoto metropolitan area thousands of miles away, at most it was the interest of a small country in a small country in the East China Sea. It's a "daily humiliation" joke.
But this time is different.
This time the incident happened in front of their house, and what Higashinohara did was no longer a joke in their mouths.
On the contrary, they themselves have become the laughing stock of other human allies. How can the nobles of heaven and earth bear it?
The Shangjing Security Department received calls from heavenly and human nobles to jointly pressure and arrest people almost every day. They worked overtime for half a month until late at night and were as tired as a dog.
Ordinary celestial beings and nobles are like this.
This is especially true of the Nine Heavens and Humans.
There is a saying that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. Today, Higashino was able to rush into the World Bank building and kill the direct heir of the Tianhu Bart family, leaving only one woman.
What about tomorrow?
Who knows if the knife will fall on his head one day? Every time I think of this, the backs of some members of the Nine Great Families feel a little cold, and I want to kill Higashinohara in my heart!
no doubt,
This human has crossed the line!
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.
Of course, the solution of Tianrenjiu is impossible to leave. Their solution is to tear down this wall.
Coupled with the "gamble" between the parliament building and the old man who sat in the adjudication department, for a while, the Shangjing Security Office, the adjudication department, and the other eight blades of the "Heavenly Guided Nine Blades" who had been restored in advance in secret also all Take action.
At all costs, the three parties continued to expand the search area around the city center of Shangjing.
It's a pity, I'm afraid they never thought that the man who left them with a weird and cold impression would be a young man who was still studying in a high school.
When they searched radially from the upper Kyoto city area to the surrounding area,
The young man is living a fulfilling student life between the dormitory, the cafeteria and the classroom.
Therefore, what is left to those three-party cooperative search personnel is nothing but confusion.
The rest is still at a loss!
After half a month, they found nothing, not even a trace of clues, and they even began to doubt themselves.
——Does the man who killed the second arbitrator and almost cut off the male inheritance of the Tenhu Bart family by himself really exist?
If you think about it carefully, since heaven and man established the world government, the upper house and lower house "co-govern" the world with human beings, there has never been such a thing in history.
If it does not exist.
It's also reasonable, isn't it?
But the reason of "non-existence" can convince the investigators who have searched for half a month and found nothing, and let them deceive themselves and others, but it cannot convince the enraged nobles of heaven and humans and the nine masters of heaven and humans who are watching coldly.
What should I do then?
There is no way, the Shangjing Security Department and the Judgment Department can only put pressure on Wano Kuni with the idea of using a dead horse as a living horse doctor and venting their anger.
After all, that man appeared in Wano Country. From the man's several consecutive actions, it is not difficult to see that the other party should have quite a relationship with Wano Country.
All of a sudden, the visiting group composed of Tokugawa Kuritora, the interim acting minister Nobuo Kobayashi and others who arrived at Meiji Mansion in Wano Country suffered a series of rejections from politicians and congressmen from the United States of Tagos that had been agreed upon.
In the end, there were even a large number of black-clothed execution teams from the Judgment Department wandering around the mansion where the Wano country visiting group stayed, which meant that even their personal freedom was restricted.
Tokugawa Kuriko knew what was going on in his heart.
He didn't dare to contact Higashinohara to inquire about the situation in private, but first dissuaded Nobuo Kobayashi who was anxiously trying to protest to the lower house of the world government.
At the same time, Tokugawa Kurihu sighed in his heart, this is really a double-edged sword.
To be honest, having such a peak combat power is a strategic talent for any country, and it is enough to deter other countries. It should be a good thing. pass it on to him.
However, when this strategic talent threatens the world government and even the Nine Great Masters of Heaven and Man, and even let the other party taste the sharpness of his sharp knife, it is difficult to tell what is right for Wano Country in the current situation. Good luck or bad luck.
For the current plan, Wano Country's visiting group stationed in Meiji Mansion can only suppress their restlessness and wait half a month later.
That is, the final trial of the three-day "World Conference" held every three years in early June, and that is the final moment to determine the fate of the country.
In fact,
This "World Conference" is also related to the future and destiny of the more than 20 countries that were arrested by the Tribunal after sending people to White Swan Harbor to collude with the dawn rebels last time among the more than 300 allied countries.
For three days in early June,
At that time, it will surely gather the attention of the whole world.
