Joseph Chapman's hiding place is a bunker in the mansion. Its strength is the highest in Baoxiang County. It is not an exaggeration to say that it was built to cope with the end of the world. Whether it is natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes, and floods, or bizarre disasters with extremely low probability of occurrence such as bomb attacks, nuclear explosion radiation, zombie viruses, and meteorites falling to the ground, bunkers can provide a shelter for people hiding in them.
Precisely because Joseph had such high confidence in the bunker, when Xia Yan came to him, Joseph looked as if he had seen a ghost:
"you you……"
"Stop it," Xia Yan controlled Joseph: "How did I enter the bunker, do you really not understand?"
After calming down, Joseph's mind turned quickly: "Hehehe... Reginald did it..."
"Exactly."
There is more than one underground bunker in the mansion. Xia Yan forced those ghost-level guards to find out which bunker Joseph was hiding in. As long as Joseph's location is determined, the rest will be simple: Just use the security authority provided by Reginald to open the door to the bunker. In the self-identification of all defensive weapons outside the door, Xia Yan was recognized as one of his own, so the weapons were disarmed one after another, and Xia Yan was able to drive straight in.
"It's ironic, it's really ironic." Joseph gritted his teeth: "Among all the security officers, Reginald is the only one who has the security authority of the bunker. He has been with me for more than fifty years and is my most trusted subordinate. ah."
"What should I say about this..." Xia Yan dragged Joseph out and gave him ideological education as he walked: "Actually, I can use my ability to disable defensive weapons, but Mr. Sanchez can't wait to show off his power. His value shows his loyalty. Based on the idea of not using him in vain, we brought him along with him."
"Let me tell you how many cards you have left to play: Cambalon and Boca are dead, Reginald has surrendered, and several ghost-level guards have no intention of fighting. Elliot is outside your door now. , but let’s not talk about whether he has the strength to rescue you from us, even if he has, he won’t be loyal to you, right?”
"Joseph, you have lived a hundred years in vain. Don't you understand that when a tree falls, the hozen scatters?"
"Look, there are no more chips for you on the gambling table, and you are out." Xia Yan gave Joseph another mental blow: "By the way, don't take away the three people you sent to Manila Bay." People are life-saving straws. The Second Fleet of the Southeast Asian Navy in the Philippine waters was destroyed ten minutes ago. Those three ghost-level escort officers should be floating on the sea holding wood at the moment. All calls to your residence have been blocked. Reginald intercepted it, and you, the coach, have been blind and deaf from the beginning of the battle."
The last paragraph was a scheming fabrication by Xia Yan, and it was impossible for Joseph to verify anything anyway. Just as Xia Yan said, Joseph knew in his heart that he had no cards to fight, no generals to send, and no means of counterattack. Even though he was being sacrificed for others, this centenarian still maintained the demeanor of the "Tiger of Southeast Asia": He straightened his clothes, discarded his cane, and strode towards the gate as if he were on stage to receive an award in a majestic manner. This move made Xia Yan, who was following him, look more like a servant than a hijacker.
Joseph was very anxious. He knew that there were many people standing outside the gate, and it was these people who united to defeat him. He was eager to see the victors outside the gate:
The powerful Hiru, Reginald who changed his family, the wavering Elliot... and the man behind the scenes who contributed to this situation, the guy who calls himself the God's Favorite.
Joseph did not know that the one whom he longed for had not come at all. He hurriedly walked through the courtyard without glancing at the two corpses on the ground in the courtyard (the corpses were two mechanically modified bodyguards. The unconscious wizard and the strong man leader had been carried away by his colleagues, and the ordinary soldiers were also scattered. and escape).
Joseph finally walked to the wall. This distance allowed him to clearly see the faces of the five people at the door: "Is that Indian the one favored by God? It's really unexpected." He was a little confused.
If Joseph could take a little longer, he might be able to catch up with the words "Just because my last name is Chapman" from God's favored person on the phone. However, he came a little late, and the God's Favored One had already changed the topic. The new topic was about the ownership of the guards:
"Mr. Sanchez, Mr. Edward, I extend my sincere invitation to you."
"Joseph is already a thing of the past, and both of you are free. I hope that both of you can join me. This is the time when I am employing people, and the treatment will definitely be generous."
…………
8pm, Golden Palm Hotel, Bandar Seri Begawan.
At this point, the guests had almost finished chatting with each other, and everyone was eagerly looking forward to William Chapman's appearance.
Just when the patience of all the guests was about to run out, a man walked onto the stage.
The visitor was not William Chapman, because he was a middle-aged man in his fifties. His pampered life did not affect his figure. The guests could see the strong back of this man.
When he stood on the stage and faced the audience, everyone recognized him:
Governor of Ten Thousand Islands County—Palmer.
Palmer's political persona has always been that of a gentle and humble politician who is close to the people, but his actions and words now are too subversive:
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen."
"Welcome to the Palme d'Or to attend this innocuous charity dinner."
"You don't have to be invited to attend tonight's banquet. As long as you are a respectable figure in Southeast Asia, the door to the banquet hall will be open for you."
"So I noticed that there are quite a number of people in this ballroom at the moment."
"Very good. With so many dignitaries from both counties here, my goal will be more than half achieved."
Anyone with a right mind can tell that Palmer has evil intentions, but no one has jumped out to confront him yet. Everyone wants to know what he will do.
Palmer clapped his hands, and soon there was some indescribable sound coming from the ceiling of the banquet hall. It sounded like dozens of combine harvesters working together in a wheat field. Half a minute later, a bronze dog with a dark green luster, shaped like a jackal, and a square head and a square face, rushed to the main entrance of the banquet hall, teeth shining with cold light, and made a silent threat to the guests inside.
This was just the beginning. More and more bronze dogs appeared behind it one after another. In addition to the main entrance of the banquet hall, there were also dozens of bronze dogs at the left and right side doors. Hundreds of bronze beasts blocked the banquet. all the way to the hall.
"Well done, Wade."
Maehara Douyang and Wade were in a side room of the banquet hall. They had no choice but to hide here: with the former's height and figure, unless he was in a professional basketball team, there was no way Maehara Douyang could impress the people around him. Turn a blind eye to it. At this moment, the postures between him and Wade were quite puzzling. Although he had just praised the latter, the latter's neck was pinched by Maehara Douyang's casserole-sized fist. As long as Wade disobeyed the order and made the slightest move, Maehara Douyang would The killer would immediately crush his neck, which to Maehara was no different than strangling a chicken to death.
At the same time that Palmer stepped onto the stage, the bodyguard officer Douyo Maehara suddenly attacked and quickly controlled Wade, forcing him to obey orders and use his abilities.
Wade, the mechanic, has the ability of "Building Blocks", and his effect is clear at a glance: he can use various materials at hand to build a variety of objects and creatures, and he can turn dead objects into motion.
"Maehara-kun, this joke... is really not funny at all..." Wade never expected that Douyang Maehara, who was assigned by William to protect his own safety, would suddenly rebel.
"This is no joke, Wade." Maehara Douyang responded in a deep voice: "Listen carefully to Mr. Palmer's speech, Southeast Asia... is going to change."
"Damn it, what are you all thinking?" Wade growled uncontrollably: "Does Palmer want to join the team again at this time? Sam Chapman is dead. Besides Mr. William, who else can he defect to? Who? Trick or Cecilia?"
"Wade, tell me, why do we have to choose the leader among those four mediocre people? To choose a less trashy guy as the object of allegiance in the trash heap is crazy."
"Then who are you working for? There are only four of them who have the right to inherit. Genzheng Miaohong didn't say it just for fun. Whether Palmer wants to make himself king or find a puppet in front of the stage, he will be the regent behind the scenes. King, that is impossible! The other eleven federal cabinet members will not allow this to happen."
Maehara Douyang nodded, although because of the angle, Wade couldn't see his movements at all: "That's true. You have to deal with other emperors when changing dynasties. Didn't Longjun Qian Jin find Kimura?" Words win and you become your backer.”
"Could it be that Palmer also has the support of one or more federal cabinet members?" Wade was not a fool and quickly thought: "Is it Tang Wenlong or Kimura Yansheng? It can't be Abram?"
The territory is adjacent to several big bosses in Southeast Asia, namely the three mentioned by Wade. Those who are too far away from here "cannot cover" Palmer, and Abram, the lord of Bharat County, has a close relationship with Joseph. Well, this person is unlikely to do anything to add insult to injury.
"It's not as complicated as you think. Apart from asking federal cabinet members for help, there is another way to stop the people above." Maehara Douyang rejected Wade's idea: "Since you just mentioned Genzheng Miaohong ...Then let’s assume that if these four heirs all die, will Joseph’s illegitimate son be able to take the throne smoothly?”
"You..." Wade really didn't expect this possibility. After all, it was too bizarre for the crown prince to bet on the deposed prince instead of supporting him.
"Brother Wade, there is something you thought wrong from the beginning."
"Lord Palmer has never wanted to be the lord of Southeast Asia, and the one we are loyal to is not someone who is willing to be a puppet."
"Just listen quietly. Everything that happens here is under that person's plan."
"You can call him—"
"The one favored by God."
