Chapter 17 The Holy Land
As soon as I opened the door, a strong and pungent smell of bad beer rushed into my nose. The dazzling flash was spinning on the stage, and the harsh rock was shaking, and there were noisy crowds everywhere.
The little old man frowned and searched the crowd, and finally saw the girl spitting bubble gum in the corner opposite.
"Damn, I made myself so ugly!" The girl looked at the old man with bubbles, looking at him with a funny look. But in fact, she seemed even more disgusting. The pair of big buck teeth and pockmarked faces were enough to discourage any man. Even in such a poor bar that is not picky at all, no man would have any inappropriate thoughts about her.
"What's so anxious?" The old man spoke. The human skin mask on his face made no change in his expression, but his cold tone and nervous hands revealed his mood at this moment.
"Haha, congratulations on entering the finals." The girl blinked.
Although the makeup technique is good, those gentle eyes can't hide it.
The "little old man" frowned. Although the sound in the bar was quite loud, it was impossible for anyone to overhear their conversation at this time, but...
"Tell me if you have something to do!"
"Oh, don't do this. It's been a long time since I saw you. Tsk tsk, if you have fame, you will look down on others?" the girl teased.
The eyes of the "little old man" became colder, "You know that I didn't mean it."
"Haha, don't stare at others like this, they're afraid," the girl smiled and vomited a bubble: "The above means that Tianjing wants to lose, and it's reasonable to lose..."
The girl leaned into the old man's ear, her voice getting lower and lower, and a bottle of things quietly stuffed into her hand.
The "little old man"'s hands were trembling, his eyes were full of anger, but when he saw the girl's smile, he said nothing.
The girl's expression was still playful, "You should know that the consequences of not obeying orders are not just you... Death is definitely not the worst outcome."
The old man's body trembled slightly, and there was no response. The crowded bar crowd blocked his leaving back.
The girl stared at the disappearing back for three seconds. This was probably a very long stay for her. In fact, no second could truly quiet down from the moment she was born.
"This guy shouldn't be that stupid." She nodded with satisfaction and crawled out of the bar from the back door behind her. As soon as she entered and left, the bumpy face disappeared, and her bloated figure seemed to have been instantly drained.
The bulging small breasts, the hot waist, and those long and slender legs, coupled with the navel-shaped and single-sized super shorts, instantly turned into a sexy and hot loli beauty, which was enough to make any man crazy.
If there are people from the Fire Team here, if Mario is here, she will definitely be so shocked that she even dropped her chin.
This...isn't this the one who cheated away with a fan... No, no! Is it the little girl who kidnapped Vice Captain Mario?!
"Okay, okay, it's just a dog who is meddling with other rats," she yelled, aiming at another luxury bar that looks quite high-end on the street. The gorgeous lights and handsome waiters at the door made her eyes lit up, and she instantly threw away the little bit of worry just now: "Worrying, a rare holiday, I'm going to have fun first! HOHOHO, handsome guys, the queen is here!"
Late at night, the villa in Tianjin had become quiet, but it was still filled with joy.
The footsteps came, and Mirami saw Grey who had just returned and was slightly stunned, "Grey, the final is coming, so don't run around."
Grey put down the package. In fact, Grey was calm all the way through the competition and didn't feel nervous at all. Sometimes she liked to read the books he had bought leisurely, and sometimes she would wander around. Of course, with his strength, there was no need to worry, but after all, it was the final, especially after the actions of the ghost family, she really had to be careful.
"I know, senior sister, hey, it's so late, you haven't slept yet?"
"I'm hungry, please stop asking about girls!" Mirami was still very domineering, and Gray smiled slightly.
Just looking at this villa and thinking about the people living inside, the corners of my mouth will involuntarily raise a curve, feeling friendly and warm. For him, it is full of memories, a strange noun, which I have only seen in books before, but have never experienced, because of such childhood and growth experience, there are really not many places worth remembering, as if every day is the same...
A man walked out of the hall, stretched his waist and gave up. When he saw the two of them, Ma Dong waved to him: "Gray just came back. Don't run around in the finals."
"I know, my senior sister has just educated me." Grey smiled, "I won't bother you anymore."
Ma Dong gave a thumbs up and said intimately, grandma is so sensible. She really wants to sleep with Mirami when she is so excited, but Mirami refuses to say that the final is about to come, which is not good.
...It's OK in the semi-finals, but it's not OK in the finals?
Woooo, well, the finals are indeed more important.
Mirami bounced on Ma Dong's forehead, "Go to sleep quickly, I'll go to bed soon if I eat something."
"Dear, kiss!" As soon as Ma Dong saw that there was no one, he couldn't help but become coquettish. Mirami couldn't resist and kissed her quickly, and Ma Dongdong went back staggeringly.
Grey, who returned to his room, was lying on the bed and couldn't fall asleep for a long time. He thought of the scene after scene after scene when he walked along with everyone in Tianjing. More images flashed through his mind. From the beginning of entering Tianjing, everyone, every picture, and everything he came to him step by step, with too much happiness and joy that he had never had before...
In Tianjing, he felt the warmth and friendship for the first time, and real people one by one, but in the final... In fact, he and Wang Zhong also knew it in his heart...
Grey closed his eyes and let the heaven and earth in his head sway, and a faint smile appeared on his face. It turned out that this was the feeling of being drunk, and this was destined not to be a peaceful and peaceful night.
Grey, who enjoys alcohol anesthesia, is only one of the scenes under this bustling complexity. On the other side of the city, Caroline is also holding up a wine glass and standing at the highest point in the city. It is the top floor of the 30th floor of the Stuart Family Building. The 360-degree panoramic floor-to-ceiling glass windows can fully see the prosperity of the entire Stuart.
To be honest, Caroline was not in a good mood and had always been the focus and core of the entire Federation and even the world. But the more she reached the final, the more she felt like she was abandoned.
I contacted Tianjin during the day, but was politely rejected Caroline's invitation on the grounds of preparing for war. Any other forces who wanted to contact Tianjing would have the same result. However, for the Stuart family, this kind of rejection seemed a bit rude, and to Caroline personally, I felt that Wang Chong turned around without hesitation.
The agreement to see each other at CHF was Caroline's own proposal, and unilaterally "breaking the contract" was also her decision. Now, it seems that it is Wang Chong's turn to decide the direction of everything. This person who was just an irrelevant in the eyes of the Stuart family more than a month ago was just an irrelevant person.
Caroline was holding a wine glass in her hand, standing quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the brightly lit city, and seemed to have a moment of trance and confusion. This was an emotion that had never appeared since she decided to take over the family and decided to put aside her former immaturity. It was more of a frustration of self-esteem. She knew that she was still high, but the situation in front of her was at a loss.
Dingding Dingding Ding...
The sound of the news at hand sounded.
There are not many people who dare to send private messages to Caroline in such a late night and can count them with one hand.
But when I clicked on Tianxun, Caroline still felt a little surprised. It was Solomon.
In the middle of the night, this is not a good time for diplomacy, especially since it is private time, so Solomon shouldn't have no idea.
Caroline had a slight hesitation on her face, and finally she turned on the button to turn on. The virtual projection showed Solomon's smile. She was polite and gentleman. She seemed to be less false and solemn than usual, but she was more affinity and casual, just like a good friend who had known each other for many years.
Such a change, in every word, action, and every move, control of the details between the distance between each other may not be able to be free to control and relax, but in Solomon, what Caroline felt was completely natural.
First, there were some easy-going greetings, and then it was quite natural to talk about the grand occasion of Stuart's CHF. The broadcast on the Empire was also successful. While congratulating this successful CHF, I also sighed at the prosperity of the Federation and the strength of Stuart. To be honest, Caroline was not very comfortable in her heart because she lost, but the other party's words did not express a verbal flattery. Yes, in front of the world, what is Tianjing or Wang Chong, at most, is a nouveau riche who has never seen the world.
"His Highness Solomon contacted me at this time, probably not saying this, but I am not in a good mood now." Caroline naturally had another way to face smart people.
"I know Miss Caroline's mood, so I have a way to convince Tianjing that they lose. I don't know if you are interested." Solomon smiled, without turning around and pointing straight to Tianjing.
"Oh, why isn't Tianji?" Caroline was slightly stunned. You should know that Stuart lost to Tianji. In all aspects, it should not be that he hoped that Tianjing would lose.
Solomon still had the same humble smile on his face, but he didn't explain, "The reason is not important, I think our future interests are consistent."
Solomon's reason is of course sufficient. From a general perspective, Tianjing won the championship will inevitably shake the fundamentals of the family power. From a personal perspective, those who can be willing to be able to crawl in front of him suddenly have to sit on an equal footing or even look up. Of course, there is no need to put this kind of thing on the surface. Negotiation requires skills, and if you put it bluntly, your will may change.
"Why not talk?" Carlo looked indifferent.
"Actually, my request is very simple." Solomon said with a smile: "In the proposal to open the 'Holy Land' to the three empires, I hope the Stuart family will vote for it."
The key point is that it is not too unexpected to Caroline. This is what the empire is more active recently.
Caroline's face remained unchanged. In fact, as the empire developed in the fifth dimension over the years, the hidden holy land could no longer be hidden. Whether it was the Caesar Empire, the Amazon, or Tutankhamun, they all required it to be open, and they also made it clear that as long as they could enter the holy land, their people were willing to accept the rules of the federal government.
This has been discussed and controversial within the federal government for a long time and has been unable to make up his mind.
To be honest, this is irresistible. After all, communication on the earth is the general trend, and the Federation has indeed gained huge benefits from the three empires. Many things have been tied together in complementary ways, which has greatly promoted the development of the Federation. If you want to conquer by force, from the current situation, it does not show that whether it is through the fifth dimension or through the sea, it will ultimately be more worthwhile. Both sides know this.
At present, at least the Federation is making rules. Once the Holy Land is discovered, it will be opened sooner or later. The two sides have been entangled on this issue for a long time. The patriarchs of the top ten families and even the parliament have actually reached a consensus and do not refuse. It is just that the empire needs to pay more costs and benefits to achieve this and strive for more benefits. This is actually the idea of the Federation.
Therefore, the reason why CHF is so big this time is actually to enter the holy land selection. They do not want this group to be compared by the empire after entering the holy land. In fact, this is the meaning of reaching a consensus.
All major families and parliament know this. In addition, the broadcasting event around the world shows the top potential newcomers in the Federation, and it also strengthens the temptation of the holy land on the empire and stimulates them to become even more crazy. Every family and parliament have their own plans for this and is gaining benefits through their own channels. Stuart is no exception. But he didn't expect that Solomon came to him on his own initiative.
It is worthy of being the most valued political opponent in the federal side. Compared with the short-sighted Tutankhamun and the unprogressive Amazon, Caesar is obviously more politically sensible and forward-looking. Solomon has obviously smelled the meaning of the federal relaxation in this regard.
Caroline didn't point it out. Such a thing is always more inducing than to put on a hot face: "For this matter, I only have the right to suggest the family, but I don't have the right to decide. In addition," she smiled: "It seems that it has nothing to do with me."
Solomon always maintained a smile like spring breeze. He knew that Caroline had agreed. As long as he could negotiate, it was just a matter of conditions. The interests of the family belong to the family. Caroline had his own requirements. This had nothing to do with the benefits, but a kind of "difficulty" or value that every big man liked.
