At 6:40 pm on September 2nd, at the Golden Palm Hotel in Bandar Seri Begawan, there were still 20 minutes left before the charity dinner started.
The invited people from the three circles of politics, business and entertainment have been present for a long time. They are busy changing glasses and exchanging feelings. At the same time, they pay close attention to all the exits of the banquet hall. Once the "protagonist" of this banquet appears, they will use their most vigorous skills to He surrounded them and then brushed up their presence.
Logically speaking, the protagonist of the banquet should be its organizer and leader, but after William Chapman widely publicized the news that he would attend this charity dinner, the protagonist of the banquet and the celebrities and ladies were the ones to flatter. It was him.
Bandar Seri Begawan is a city close to the equator, and it is not completely dark at seven o'clock in the evening. If William was to enter the venue for the finale, he should not show up until after eight o'clock until it is completely dark. The adults on the field naturally knew that William was unlikely to appear so early, but what if? It wouldn't be good if he didn't get the chance to show his face in front of Fourth Young Master William right away.
The battle to seize the heir is a semi-open secret in the upper class world. Some bright and thoughtful people have already found opportunities to contact the heirs they are optimistic about, including Cecilia, who has the least possibility of taking over as the lord. This bet seems to be a simple four-choice multiple-choice question, but in fact it is a gamble with no "right answer" and "wrong answer". Which descendant will Joseph hold on to the throne of Southeast Asian lords and federal cabinet members? People know.
Of course, as the second most popular candidate in the battle to win the throne, among those attending the banquet tonight, there are many who clearly support William. However, there are still a large part of them who are just idle opportunists. Anyway, spanking the children on a rainy day is just free time. There is no harm in simply using this banquet to get familiar with William.
If they knew that the three heirs other than William were also invited, these people would definitely secretly say that it was worth it.
However, this group of people with ulterior motives must be disappointed. They are unable to do anything in front of several heirs, and socializing one by one can only happen in their imagination, because they will not see any of the heirs tonight...
…………
At a remote fishing port outside Bandar Seri Begawan, Zhong Yi spent a lot of effort bargaining with an uncle and finally rented out his fishing boat.
A penny stumps a heroic man. Zhong Yi really has no money. If you think about how he has to rob for breakfast, you will understand how embarrassed Zhong Yi is: credit cards cannot be used because of his current status as a fugitive. The county didn't pack up any more gold and silver items that night. Renting a fishing boat is an unplanned expense. If Zhong Yi had foreseen this expense in advance, he would have thought about taking away more secret army assets when he left the safe house in Kuala Lumpur.
Yun Ming's original plan was to take the Haiya submarine to Bandar Seri Begawan, but due to Xu Xi's obstruction, it was changed to the huge and eye-catching Brachiosaurus. Yun Ming would never do anything like driving the Brachiosaurus and rushing ashore carelessly, so he could only ask Zhong Yi to search for suitable transportation near the coast so that Yun Ming and others could get there more than ten nautical miles away from the coast. transfer place.
Zhong Yi was particularly shy with his money. With his three melons and two dates in cash, he couldn't hope for a nice small yacht. No one was even willing to rent a decent fishing boat to him. In the end, it was Zhong Yi who had a "smart eye" and fell in love with an antique fishing boat that was probably older than him. The original owner of the boat was an old man with a fishing career of sixty years. He used this boat when he was young and sailed across the sea countless days and nights. But now, both the man and the boat are old and have no choice but to leave the boat idle at home.
Zhong Yi came to the door and tried to persuade the old man to part ways with him. The old man had a deep affection for his old friend and was reluctant to part with him, but at least he got the lease.
Although Zhong Yi has no experience in driving a fishing boat to sea, fortunately, the old man has modified the boat. It has new energy power and automatic driving systems, and the maintenance has not been interrupted. The condition of the boat is still excellent. Zhong Yi set the automatic Just drive.
Just as Zhong Yi was familiar with the operation of the boat in an unknown small bay, not far away, a medium-sized amphibious landing craft broke out of the water and docked on the shore.
Strictly speaking, an amphibious landing craft is a type of submarine, but its biggest feature is not lurking underwater but transporting troops for landing operations. Compared with amphibious landing ships, landing crafts have much better concealment performance.
The outer hatch of the landing craft opened, and five cars drove out from the cabin. Four of them were "Growlers" known as civilian armored vehicles (the one Yun Ming rode on his last mercenary mission), which were different from others. The car was a black car, and the growlers were guarding it in the center like stars holding the moon.
"Do you need to get rid of that civilian?" Jin asked the two people sitting in the back seat of the black car for instructions.
Those two people were none other than Sam Chapman, one of the successors, and Raymond, the governor of Baoxiang County.
"No need, he's just a civilian. Just see it when you see it. Don't make any extraneous remarks." Sam waved his hand indifferently: "I don't know what this man is driving an old-fashioned boat around on the sea."
Raymond flattered him at the right time: "Master Sam is really kind."
Although Jin is his subordinate, with Sam here, Raymond does not have a role in making decisions.
"Upton, give everyone in this car good luck."
Upton, who was sitting in the passenger seat, humbly replied: "Yes."
"Miss Ada Yang, please go first and guard the high-rise building near the Palme d'Or. If William really has any evil intentions, you will be our fire support." Sam continued to give orders, but his tone was different from the command. Upton suddenly became much softer.
"Yes." Ada Yang's voice came from several people's headphones. There were only four people sitting in the car, namely Sam, Raymond and the two escort officers, and Ada Yang was not among the four Growlers.
A black Yamaha motorcycle jumped out of the cabin of the amphibious landing craft. The body was as black as ink, reflecting a cold luster, and its xenon headlights pierced the dim coast like a lightsaber.
Ada Yang drove the motorcycle and slowed down beside the car. She made a cool gun gesture with the index and middle fingers of her left hand at the people in the car, then turned the car around and drove away from the unknown coast with a huge roar. What she rides is less like a cold machine and more like a wild and fierce horse, and Ada Young herself is the modern version of Himiko.
"The motorcade sets off, picks up Wharton first, and then goes to the Golden Palm Hotel. If you are late for the charity dinner, you will be late. Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Varariello."
Vararilo is Kim's surname, which means "superior" in Thai. Kim Vararilo is his full name.
"Master Sam, you are so polite. It is your duty." Jin knew that Sam was so polite to him and Ada Yang to save face for Raymond. After all, they were Raymond's subordinates and were commanded by Sam as if they were "one of their own". It doesn't look good.
Four Growlers occupied the four corners, and Jin drove a car in the center. Except for Sam and Raymond, the entire team was equipped with espers and cyborgs, including two ghost-level guards and four tiger-level espers. There are twelve second-level cyborgs who can reach tiger level. In order to form this convoy, Sam and Raymond had to use up all their soldiers.
But this is really a reliable force, reliable enough that Sam can attend the banquet safely.
Compared to Sam's generous spending, the way Trik and Cecilia attended the banquet was much shabby.
They don't have Sam's connections, they can't get an amphibious landing craft that can conceal their whereabouts, and they don't have a luxurious guard lineup. "Shadow Swordsman" Cavelin is the only ghost-level guard officer, and the other five are all second-level transformers and have no abilities. By.
But they led many soldiers. The two of them organized more than half of the company's army, with more than 70 people. They were federal soldiers selected from thousands of people. Everyone in the group was fully armed with guns and ammunition, and the weapons and equipment were enough to fight a small-scale war.
This group of people came by plane. It took a lot of time for Trick and Cecilia to arrange the plane and organize the manpower, so it was already after 7pm when they arrived in Bandar Seri Begawan, and they did not have the opening of the charity dinner. catch up.
Fortunately, like Sam, they didn't mind being late. Outside the airport, there were more than a dozen police cars with "Special Police" marked in English on their bodies, which could be seen at a glance by Trick and others who were walking out of the airport through a special passage. This was naturally arranged by the two heirs. The special service vehicles of the federal police are definitely stronger than more than 90% of civilian vehicles.
Two minutes later, everyone got in the car. Trick and Cecilia were sitting in the same car. There were guards on the front and back of the car. This large army of dozens of people was full of people. Heading towards the city.
