Chapter 799: Prime Minister, Spy Commander.
This world.
Edith Federal Hell's Kitchen.
Xiuxixixixi~~
This is the sound of raindrops. The streets here are full of the cold beauty of reinforced concrete, with tall buildings and narrow alleys often filled with the smell of fireworks.
The slippery road surface reflected the dim light of the street lights, giving people a desolate and dangerous feeling.
Faded graffiti and traces of bullet holes left at unknown times can be seen on the walls along the street. There are only a few pedestrians, but some kind of whisper or cough can always be faintly heard deep in the alley.
On this rainy and foggy night, [Purgatory Gate Platform] is hidden in an ordinary industrial area.
The entrance to the platform was carefully hidden, and it looked like an abandoned railway station. Even the station sign was so rusted that it was almost unclear.
But anyone familiar with this place knows that this is just a disguise to deceive others. There are rumors:
——At certain nodes, you can find the way to another world.
The light raindrops fell on the metal surfaces of the rails and platforms, making a slight sound.
Near the platform, a man in a black suit stood in the rain, holding an old-style umbrella in his hand.
The black suit is well-tailored, and the brim of his hat is set very low, covering most of his face, but the exposed jaw line still reveals a cold temperament.
Looking at the rain, Vito Antonio felt a little dazed unconsciously. The sound of the rain brought him back to memories from a few years ago.
Back then, instead of being "Antonio," he was known as "The Week."
That was a period of time when he lost all his memory, and his memory was formatted every week.
At that time, he was armed with a sharp knife and followed in the footsteps of what is now called "the most evil person" in the gang world, killing vampires all over the world.
It was really a different experience.
Just as he was immersed in memories, a slightly joking voice sounded from behind:
"Yo, long time no see, a week - oh no, now it's time to call you the godfather of Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn - Mr. Antonio."
Zhou Zhou turned around and looked at the visitor speechlessly.
He saw a young man standing in the drizzle.
The other party was wearing a dark gray sweatshirt, with water dripping from the edge of the hood, paired with a pair of baggy sweatpants and a pair of white canvas shoes.
The most eye-catching thing is the boy's fox ears and tail. The ears tremble slightly in the breeze, while the tail sways gently like a naughty signal flag.
Turs Corbett.
The Wandman newspaper called him: Hugh Abraham's most loyal supporter, the Immortal, and the Prime Minister of the Authority.
His partner when he was killing vampires.
In those nights of blood and fire, the young man's cunning and agility added many unexpected victories to their team.
Only now, time seemed to have stopped for him.
His appearance is still the same, but if you look closely, you can see that there are thick dark circles under his eyes, making him look a little tired.
"One week, long time no see."
Turs tilted his head and smiled, showing a familiar cunning look, with the corners of his mouth raised and his tone carrying his usual teasing tone.
"You seem to be doing well. The role of gangster godfather suits you very well."
One week - or now Vito Antonio, raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes swept over Tours' slightly tired face, and couldn't help but smile and replied:
"And you don't look well, Turs.
What have you done in the past few years, and how did you end up like this? ”
Turs shrugged, as if to hide his embarrassment.
He stretched, his fox ears twitched slightly, and his tail slowly swung behind him:
"Ah, don't mention it. I've been overwhelmed by tasks recently. The workload of Golden Retriever's men, tsk... one person can support ten people, how can he not be so tired?"
The Prime Minister of the Administration had a look of helplessness, and his tone was mixed with complaints.
"Not only do we have to deal with various issues of the Honkai Administration Bureau, we also have to be responsible for reviewing the source of life in the Earthly Garden.
I barely managed to get the performance of the students in Phase I, but the Golden Retriever had to let me go through it again to make sure there was nothing wrong.
Do you know what's the most annoying thing? ”
"Huh?" Vito raised his eyebrows, obviously curious.
Tours took a deep breath, with a hint of resentment in his voice:
"Golden Retriever and that Wende Tingmente III made a little Mr. Little Elf doll, and now they directly became the admissions director!
As a result, once she reviewed it, one-half of the student lists I had worked so hard to select were directly deleted by her! ”
He spread his hands, his tone full of helplessness.
"She is quite happy. My student list is only half full. Tsk, I have to recruit new people to make up for it."
Vito couldn't help laughing, with a hint of fun in his eyes:
"It sounds like your life is not an easy one."
"Easy?" Tours sat down on the stone pier aside, his tail hanging weakly on the ground, and sighed.
"If it were easy, would I have to run around with dark circles under my eyes? I just came back from the Administration and I haven't taken a breath yet."
Zhou Zhou's eyes stayed on the face of the fox boy, but there was still a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and he continued to tease:
"It seems that you are indeed not having a good time, Fox."
Turs's ears twitched slightly, and then he sat upright from his careless posture, quickly removing the expression of complaint on his face.
He raised his eyes and looked at Zhou Zhou, with a hint of seriousness in his tone: "
We have solved your troubles for you.
Within the Edici Federation, your family’s enemies—the Tartaglia family and the Barzini family—are now out of control.
The Authority has taken matters into its own hands to ensure that they can never threaten your position again. ”
Zhou Zhou raised his eyebrows, a deep luster flashed in his eyes:
"It sounds like your actions are not small. What are you doing just to help me clear these obstacles?"
"More than that."
Turs continued, his tail swaying slightly behind him, with a hint of pride in his tone.
"The administration is also helping to clean up and launder your family assets.
Soon, they will be able to directly connect with the Heavenly Kingdom Collapse Management Bureau.
From now on, your industry is not just the "black gold" of the federal gang, but the "silver" of the above board.
You should thank the Administration for paving the way for you. ”
Hearing this, Zhou Zhou frowned slightly.
He was silent for a moment, and then sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone:
"Stepping from one quagmire into another bigger quagmire..." Tours looked at him with a slight smile on his lips, as if he had expected his reaction.
"Tell me," Zhou Zhou raised his eyes with sharp eyes, "What does Abraham need me to do? Since you came here, you won't just tell me this."
"That's right, we all like to talk things straightforward."
Turs shrugged, his tail swaying slowly behind him, and his tone was slightly lowered.
"Abraham needs your strength to assist him.
He has created a task force called 'Snake's Kiss', and you will work with this team to build a powerful intelligence network in the Ivy War. ”
"The intelligence network... is because of the gang's law of silence, right." Zhou Zhou's eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone became calm and steady.
"That's right," Tours nodded, his expression becoming more serious.
"The Code of Silence within the Federation has the potential to unite crowns, and the emergence of any crown-holder - whether for the Federation or the Authority - cannot be ignored.
In the past, the Federation has sought to suppress the formation of a unified underground kingdom.
This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!
They would never allow a certain gang godfather to fully master the law of silence and become the master of the federal underworld.
Therefore, they have adopted a long-term differentiation strategy and have been suppressing the integration of gang forces intentionally or unintentionally. ”
Turles paused for a moment, looked at Zhou Zhou meaningfully, and said in a low but straightforward tone:
"Your amnesia is the result of the Federation's intervention. They are afraid that you will become the person who gathers the crown."
Zhou Zhou's expression moved slightly, and a chill flashed across his eyes, but he didn't interrupt and just listened quietly.
"And now," Tours continued, his voice low and steady, as if carrying a sense of unquestionable authority.
"Whether your family is willing or not, you have been bound to the chariot of the Administration.
Your family is the gloves of the Administration, and you are the spokesperson of the Administration among the gangs. ”
"You should be well aware that as the gang godfather of parts of Manhattan and Brooklyn, you already have approximately four-sevenths of the information on the Code of Silence.
In this situation, how could the people of the Federation let you go?
They watch your every move and are even on high alert for your expansion.
If it weren't for Abraham's support behind you, if it weren't for the protection of the Authority, do you think the Federation would really let your family continue to grow? ”
Zhou Zhou narrowed his eyes and took a deep breath.
He did not answer immediately, but turned his head slightly and looked at the small rain curtain in the distance, seeming to be thinking about something.
After a moment, he slowly exhaled and whispered:
"I know what to do."
Turs showed a satisfied smile, he shrugged, his tail swayed slightly, and his tone was brisk and a little excited:
"Welcome to the team again, man.
This time we are doing something bigger than ever before, and the whole world is watching.
Terra changes because of our choices. ”
Zhou Zhou nodded noncommittally, then his eyes narrowed slightly and asked in a deep voice:
"Where's Broly?"
There was a hint of expectation and concern in his tone when he mentioned another old buddy from the past gang.
"He is also engaged in an intelligence network like me?"
Turs shook his head, his ears twitched slightly, and said with a little helplessness and a joking tone:
"No, Broly doesn't have this life.
The earthly courts needed a strong guard, like the custodians of Daeva and Oletin.
And Abraham has identified a new task force - the Burners.
This task force would be the prototype of the escort army, and Broly was sent to serve as the commander-in-chief and commander-in-chief, responsible for cultivating this team from the ground up. ”
Zhou Zhou raised his eyebrows and whispered: "Guard Army? Sounds like a tough mission."
"It is indeed a tough mission." Tours smiled softly and then said:
"Especially one of the special operators, the direct leader of this team in the future, Chen Long.
That is a girl with great potential. She is the focus of Abraham's genetic project called [Twenty-Four Saints Forged] and will be trained into a top warrior.
Unfortunately, she had a very irritable personality and refused to obey anyone except Abraham. ”
He paused for a moment, as if he was picturing the image of the girl in his mind, then spread his hands and flicked his tail:
"So, Broly should be having a 'friendly communication' with her now."
"Amicable communication?" Zhou Zhou's tone was filled with doubts and ridicule.
Turs raised his wrist to look at the time and said in a relaxed tone:
"Well, with Broly's power, the 'communication' should have been completed by about this time."
After saying that, there was a meaningful smile on his lips, as if he was waiting for some interesting result to arrive.
Not long after Turs finished speaking, the space pillar outside the Purgatory Gate platform suddenly changed.
Outside the Purgatory Gate platform, the light rain was still ticking, and there was a damp chill in the air.
On that space pillar, which seemed to be the same as other pillars but carried a mysterious function, a ripple-like fluctuation suddenly appeared.
The surrounding light seemed to be pulled for a moment, and then, two people walked out from the center of the fluctuation.
The first person to appear was a tall man. He was wearing a pure white robe. The fabric was smooth and flawless, and the edges were embroidered with fine golden lines.
The man's face has sharp edges and corners, and his expression is solemn and majestic, like a pilgrim walking down a religious mural, with a solemnity and indifference that makes people dare not look directly.
He walked forward without looking back, his steps firm and steady, and every step seemed to have some unshakable faith.
Behind him, a slightly thin girl followed closely.
She wore a hooded cloak on her head, and the edge of the hood was wet by the rain, revealing a pair of conspicuous dragon horns under the hood, which glowed faintly.
Some red and swollen marks can be seen on the girl's skin, obviously she has experienced some kind of fierce confrontation not long ago, and her face is full of anger and dissatisfaction at the moment.
She stared at the man in front of her with bared teeth, and there seemed to be an unquenched anger in her eyes.
However, when the man lowered his head and glanced at her coldly, her momentum instantly collapsed. She gritted her teeth and lowered her head, showing a look of resignation.
The two of them walked into the rain like this, the man's rock-like solemnity forming a sharp contrast with the girl's unruly attitude.
Their arrival made everything near the platform seem to be quiet for a moment, and the aura of the strong could not be ignored.
These two people are none other than Valdarson Broly and Chenlong Evely Carlos.
Turs stood aside, his eyes lightly swept over the two people, a knowing smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he whispered to Zhou Zhou:
"Look, Broly has finished his 'communication'. It seems that he is quite popular with children."
