Badman sat alone in Gushou's room, feeling nervous.
The decoration of Gushou's room is very simple, with a bed, tables and chairs, sandbags for practice, and pictures of three people nailed to the wall, the red lion, the trickster, and the damn supreme crown.
These three people all have something in common: they always look down on the Bonehead and his subordinates, and the most arrogant among them is the Supreme Crown and his Light Core. Ever since the young master rejected Su Shou's invitation to talk to him with a look of disdain, the two had become sworn enemies.
As for the heroes of the sky who are against them all day long... To be honest, most gangsters don't really hate him, at most they just have a headache. What can you do against a good old man who is invincible in the world?
Before the corpse came, Badman was idly recalling the past.
How did the boss and Orus form a feud? It seems that when the organization was first organized, the two sides were competing for a few biological weapons. At that time, no one could get away with it if they really took action, so the boss first suggested making peace and asking Aurus to give him face.
What Aurus said at that time... "A dirty rat with no face asked me to give him a favor. What a funny joke."
The young master was still very immature at that time. I heard that his few words on the boat drove Gongsun Ce crazy. Maybe it was this that made him arrogant. Aurus didn't take anyone seriously, and then the boss gave him a hard time.
The Skeleton Head's spell directly disabled most of the bastard's combat effectiveness, and he also made many arrangements on the battlefield. Once Orus teleports, there will be endless traps waiting for the young master. And he, Badman Ives, took the lead and led his subordinates into the enemy camp, killing all the guards from the Ultimus family. He completely established the reputation of the Marauders and let everyone know that Deathwing was the strongest organization in the city.
After that battle, most of the first batch of Deathwing's elites were lost. Everyone was beaten very badly, but it was refreshing, so damn refreshing. Why is it that now that the organization is doing well, he is not living well? The Badmans asked themselves, how could he be reduced to the point where he wanted to cooperate with Aurus?
The door opened, and Boss John came step by step, stood in front of him, and looked into his eyes.
"Badman, I've given you all day, and I hope you're ready." John said, "I want to hear the truth about the secrets you're hiding."
"It's just you and me here."
Badman knew what this meant. John's frontal combat ability was too far away from him. At such a close distance, it would take him less than five seconds to completely eliminate the skeleton without leaving a trace of life.
John was not afraid, he believed in his brother.
***of. Badman gritted his teeth. For a moment, he really wanted to tell everything, and then let John react however he wanted to settle a past incident. But precisely because John trusted him so much, he couldn't speak... couldn't speak.
He made the wrong choice from the beginning, and there is no turning back.
"I'll confess, boss." Badman said dryly, "I... already knew where Kova's body was."
The corpse said nothing.
"I personally moved his body to the house on Wu Huan Road. Actually, it was not because I wanted to frame him, but because it was close to our territory and I could arrange it easily." Badman clenched his fists, "I don't want to go with him. You said this because... Alas! I had a line with Aurus before and went to contact him that night."
"Are you in contact with the Light Core?!" Bonehead roared angrily.
Badman grabbed his hair and said anxiously: "I know you will go crazy with anger. But boss, let me tell you the truth, I don't want to mess around anymore!"
"
He didn't dare to look at the corpse's eyes and simply closed his eyes.
"It was a good time at the beginning. We grabbed territory, got a little brother and gunfire, started our own business, and the organization was thriving, but we were able to do this! How many times did we plan the big plan and implement it? It’s been almost ten times, I’ve tried it alone, I’ve tried joining forces with other organizations, I’ve tried all kinds of methods, overtly and covertly, but we just can’t get out!”
"Boss, your brain is better than mine, so you must understand better than me. This
It's not just a matter of Mo Yuankai blocking the road, the people above are too powerful, we can't beat them! What's the point of just hanging on like this? The initial chaotic period has passed, the territory cannot be expanded, and the strength has been exhausted. Our organization is said to be the strongest in the city, but in fact it is just that. "
"So?" Kushou said coldly.
"I think it's pointless to continue like this. I don't want to fight and kill." Badman grinned. "Another three years have passed, and there will be a replacement at the top. That boy Aurus has a backstage and wants to take advantage of the opportunity, so I... ...I want to get on the line first, stand in line, and then advise you to recruit safely."
Gushou waved his hands in annoyance, trying to suppress his anger, but he still couldn't hold it back: "You idiot! That's enough. If you don't talk about this, what happened to the four brothers?!"
Badman felt his heart slow down. This is the key point, and he has to say it according to the teachings of Aurus. It's not a subtle lie, just a little bit of falsehood added to the truth...a little bit is enough.
"I have been staring at the three of them for a long time. I suspect that they are the queens of the kingdom. I invited them over that night, and I wanted to avoid the organization's eyes and ears to talk clearly. I thought they would not be able to leave as long as I watched, but I left late."
"Is it too late?" Kushou asked.
Badman tried his best to let the panic appear in his eyes and began to build up that little bit of falsehood.
"That night I saw the clown."
"You know I never liked him. I used to provoke him a few words about his new image. But...I don't know how to describe it to you...he ignored me."
Badman imitated it perfectly: "He just walked towards me blankly, as if he didn't see anything in his eyes, and kept muttering quietly to himself. He said that he should have died long ago, and everyone should have died." To die or something like that...
***. I'll be honest, I was a little nervous, he was acting like a psycho, you know he's been crazy before. I wanted to avoid unnecessary trouble, so I said harsh words and withdrew. Then when I passed by, the three of them were already dead. "
"I'm stupid, boss. I heard something moving behind me, and when I turned my head, I saw Kova emerging from the ground. He glanced at me, and his body was torn apart and his head was deflated."
"I've known all my life that a person can kill like this, and then I realize that someone is coming, what else can I do?! If I don't run away, this shit basin will really blame me!" Badman said weakly, "You know the rest. I immediately snatched Kova's ability and ran away, taking his body with me. I thought he was the reason why he was killed, but I didn't find anything. Wait until I When we returned, Gongsun Ce and the woman were already fighting, and the sound could be heard in the whole neighborhood."
Gushou sat down on the chair, thinking about the deputy's speech word by word, and considering the whole incident. He said hoarsely: "...What do you think?"
"I suspect that the clown is really crazy this time." Badman said, "I didn't dare to say anything. I think you will think that after hearing this, I framed the murder and framed him. I hid the body and took the brothers to question him. , just wanted to know the reason why he did this. But he acted impeccable... but he blamed it on me again. "
"You idiot!
! "
The skull couldn't bear it any longer. He pointed at Badman's face and cursed loudly.
"If you want to find out the truth, then you should blame Gongsun Ce instead of the new woman in the first place! Do you think he will reveal his flaws because of his mistress?! It's all unnecessary! Your self-righteous little cleverness makes the whole thing It has become confusing and complicated, you should have come to me directly to explain everything from the beginning!”
Badman whispered: "I went to find Aurus that night..."
The skull leader understood that Badman had arranged so many cover-ups to conceal this first incident.
He felt a headache and said in a low voice, "Get out."
Badman said nothing and walked out the door. Zushou sat alone in his room, feeling confused.
What he was struggling with was not the murder. It was not surprising that Gongsun Ce went crazy. He was the first among all superpowers to go berserk, and he was already the most insane one. What Gushou was thinking about was what the old brother had said before. He didn't want to
Mixed up.
Kushou knew in his heart that what his brother said was absolutely correct. Their actions have been ineffective. He still wanted to resist to the end and try to win a breath, but that may not be the case for his brothers... Many of them wanted to clear their names and live a peaceful life.
To organize is to make a deal. The weights of both parties must be put on the scale, and the decision should be made based on which is more important.
On one end of the scale is his hatred, his anger, and his hatred of his enemies, and on the other end is the pursuit and fatigue of the other brothers... He meditated hard in the room, constantly adjusting the chips at both ends...
An hour later, Zushou came out of the house. The first thing he saw was Badman outside the door.
"Boss?"
Gushou felt that it had never been so difficult for him to speak. This was perhaps the most unintentional statement in his life.
"Tell Aurus that I want to meet with him."
·
At the same time, the Thorny Area.
Cao Xin sat in front of his confidant. A table full of people had gloomy expressions on their faces, and one of them was filled with despair.
"Boss Cao." A clerk with a bruised nose and face said in a trembling voice, "I think the president has...discovered this..."
"You said we still..." "The fireworks are obviously just..." "How about forget it?"
Cao Xin punched the table, silencing everyone at the table at the same time.
"Forget it?" he said in a hoarse voice, "How can you forget it? The agreement has been signed, everything has been done, and you still think that you can pretend that nothing happened and go back to play his X's house game?! You have already offended Now that you have become the president, can you still provoke Aurus?!"
Everyone fell silent. Everyone knows that this is true. There is no reason for the president to protect a bunch of treacherous "collaborators"... and Aurus will never spare this bunch of treacherous "collaborators".
"Choose for yourself." Cao Xin said dryly, "If you want glory and wealth, follow my path and fight to the death. If you have no hope, leave. If you dare to leave, you are responsible for it."
Cao Hong wrung his hands tightly and was the first to speak out: "Brother, I will fight with you. I can't stand this life anymore. If Aurus comes to power, maybe we can still go out, but now there is no hope."
Cao Xin smiled with satisfaction, and he quickly threw out the second chip: "The president has not taken action against us until now, do you know why? Chi Zijing is also waiting and watching, he doesn't want to take sides! If our bet is right, , it means nothing happened. A Liu, Xingtou and the others have also agreed to cooperate, it’s just up to us to stand up and express our stance!"
These words moved everyone present to a great extent, because they all knew the president's lazy character. Cao Xin's confidants nodded one after another and shouted bravely: "Okay! Boss, brothers will fight with you!
"
Amidst the noise, Cao Hong's eyes dodge for a moment, and then returned to normal.

"A meeting... why not? Let me confirm the schedule... How about tomorrow afternoon? Very good. I'm glad you made the right choice... I'll see you tomorrow, John Garcia."
Aurus ended the communication in a happy mood. When communicating with the skull leader, he was standing in the personal laboratory of the Minister of Technology, watching the images flashing on the big screen. He put his hand on Ed Freese's shoulder and asked kindly, "Is it difficult, Ed?"
"It's easy, leader. Let's do a simple task of synthesizing images. You can get as much audio material as you want. I'll just put it in the official surveillance database." The blond boy typed on the keyboard and said with a hint of concern, "But... this is necessary. Chief? I mean, everyone believes what you say."
"This is necessary, Ed, you are engaged in important work that only you can do." Aurus comforted, "Those who can understand the logic of the development of events will trust my words, but for some people For friends who have narrow vision and weaker understanding, only real material can be considered as convincing evidence - unfortunately, in the coming time, we will have to win their support."
"It's true... you know, leader, those people who are about to "die"..."
"How is that possible!" Aulus said with a smile, "
Acting doesn't require real corpses. They will live in the safe house for a while, and when the incident is over and no one cares about the turmoil of a few months ago, they can return to a new and meaningful life. "
"Yes."
But a few months is not a "period of time."
Ed was quiet for a while, and then suddenly said: "Chief, is it necessary to cooperate with Deathwing?"
Aurus couldn't help but laugh: "Do you know how the big families of Ustus solved the banditry problem in the western United States three hundred years ago?"
"I'm all ears."
"The nobles said that we gave in. Too much money is not good for both sides. We decided to give in and give you fields, property and noble names. But our power is not enough, and only some people can get this. Benefits. Then the nobles will communicate privately with the most powerful among the gangsters. Before long, the gangsters who were once rampant will no longer be able to thrive."
"Ah. Very old-fashioned, but useful." Eddu muttered, "You know, Chief. I mean, I think these..."
Aulus leaned down and stared at his subordinate's profile.
"Ed, do you believe me?"
"Who else can I trust but you?" Ed smacked his lips. He repeated the words in a low voice, as if convincing himself over and over again, "I believe in you, Aurus, I believe in you. I will get it done."
"That's very helpful, my friend."
Orus ruffled his hair affectionately and walked out of the laboratory.
Ed leaned back in his chair and looked at the half-completed composite image on the screen. The gray-haired boy stood at the entrance of the alley, with blood on his clothes and a weird smile on his face.
"Aurus, you always forget that I am also from Hezhu. My grandmother was a bandit before she became a ranger." Ed whispered, "I wonder if the old stories from three hundred years ago taught you how to be angry when provoked." What would a madman do..."
He thought about the plan delivered by the leader and sighed worriedly: "I hope we can suppress it."
·
In this way, the web of conspiracy was slowly woven, covering the entire city.
From the three major organizations to small forces on the streets, from city officials fishing in troubled waters to radicals from major countries, many people are looking at this city high in the sky, waiting for a planned performance and a new spokesperson. when it appears.
Some people want to ascend to the stage of power, some want to be relieved of their burdens, and some want to shirk their own guilt. There are more people watching from a distance, planning to acquire a batch of promising new combat power and research materials, planning to regain a sword that belongs to them, and planning to expand this city into a new battlefield.
And there are many more people who just want to live their boring daily lives. A certain gray-haired young man was unaware of the changes in the past few days. He drove Qin An around in his car to see the good and bad sides of the city. When he had time, he and Qin Qianbai watched animation lessons. She has common sense and is satisfied with her current life.
A week passed like this. One afternoon seven days later, Gongsun Ce received a long-lost phone call.
"Hello, brother?" Gongsun Ce said while grabbing instant noodles, "I'm watching animation at home...what's wrong?"
"Chi Zijing is here?" Gongsun Ce frowned, "Okay, I'll be there right away."
He put down his disposable tachyon and rushed to his house in the central area.
The sky was gloomy and dark, as if it was about to rain heavily.
