After all, William is young and inexperienced. Even though he has been under the influence of the fourth "prince" for thirty years, he still lacks proper understanding of politics. For a bureaucrat of Palmer's level, bullshit is a very common thing, not to mention, he is not completely talking nonsense:
"Please look at these photos. This is a meeting that took place in Apali City on the night of August 31st. There were three participants, and only two of them were captured in the photos, namely William Chapman and Leonardo da Vinci, one of the three leaders of the Renaissance Organization." Palmer paused, and then continued: "As for the person who took these photos, and the third participant, it is me, Palmer Bartholomew. "
The banquet hall was in an uproar. As mentioned before, the guests present were all composed of high-level federal officials and wealthy businessmen. Of course, these people would recognize William's face; and as a well-known rebel organization, it is impossible that the Renaissance Organization has not heard of it. . From the perspective of two people's identities, the probability that they can sit at the same table to smoke and drink tea is about the same as the probability of polar bears and penguins playing together under natural conditions.
However, Palmer's words are just bluffing, and no one present believes them... They are all human beings: You just said that the old man is the leader of the revival? We also don’t know what Leonardo da Vinci looked like. Even if Leonardo da Vinci looks like this, could it be that you, Palmer, found someone to wear a mask and pretend to be it? In the most extreme case, these photos can be faked.
In a short time, the banquet hall fell silent, and the seeds of doubt were deeply planted in the hearts of those present, which urgently needed Palmer's words and actions to eradicate them.
How could Palmer be unprepared? He immediately provided new information to prove that he was not cheating.
However, there was no need for William to read the supporting information. He knew that the photos were real. Apart from him and Palmer, there was probably no other person in the Palme d'Or Hotel who could be so sure of the authenticity of the photos.
"He hid it so deeply!" Seeing this, William could no longer contain the anger in his heart, picked up the teacup at hand and smashed it. The exquisitely crafted tea cup was thrown violently and broke into countless pieces. It was a pity.
"Mr. William, this is just foreplay. You can't control yourself. What will you do when the main show comes? Will you smash this table?" Lionel's consolation was full of teasing.
Faced with such taunting words, William rarely lost his temper: "You are right, Leon. The matter has come to this, no matter how incompetent and furious I am, it is just adding to the joke. It is very ugly. Why don't you show it off to me?" How about you tell me about your master's clever plan?"
William did not look back when he said this, but Lionel, standing behind him, felt a sense of being stared at for no reason. He thought for a while and decided to answer the question, but before answering, he also said a digression:
"Mr. William, I just realized that the reason why Joseph Chapman takes care of you the most is probably not just because you are his youngest child."
"I can take your words as a compliment to me, but I'd better avoid such gossip."
"Okay, then I'll go straight to the point and start from the beginning."
"Mr. William, you know what you are confused about, that is when I betrayed you."
"Eight years ago, when I was a junior ghost-level mercenary, I was a mercenary who lived a life of licking blood on the edge of a knife. Because of a mission, I met you by chance. After that, after careful investigation, you revealed your innocent life. I accepted you as a guest, this is your memory, right?"
William was silent for a moment and then responded: "Yes, I had full confidence in my investigation before, so I always thought that you came into contact with someone and something happened at some point after you became a security officer. As a result, you chose to betray me. But I just heard your "innocent life experience", so it seems that I shouldn't be so sure of my investigation."
"Well, nine years ago, that is, the year before you and I met, God's Favored One found me and asked me if I wanted to take revenge on Joseph Chapman. Of course I wanted this. Then we completed the deal, I am placed next to you as a chess piece, and the God's Favorite will first guide me to upgrade from tiger level to ghost level."
"Wait a minute, I have two questions." William turned around and looked at his former subordinates.
"ask."
"What grudge do you have against Joseph?"
"Some old things are irrelevant, but I can tell you that I was forced to embark on the path of mercenary because of him."
"Okay, then let me ask," Lionel didn't want to say more. As William was currently a prisoner, he didn't dare to force it: "Did God's Favored One teach you how to improve your abilities? This is impossible. I did it myself." After a thorough investigation of your life history, there is no one around you who seems to have the role of a mentor."
Lionel shrugged: "I didn't say that God's Favored One gave me step-by-step guidance."
"……What's the meaning?"
"The God's Favorite has the ability to transmit sounds thousands of miles away. His voice will appear directly in my mind, so no matter how you investigate my social circle, you will find nothing. We have always only communicated with our heart sounds."
William quickly grasped the mystery in Leon's words: "You said you never only communicate with your heart sounds?"
"Yes, we have never met, at least I don't know what he looks like."
"You just trust someone who... hides his head but shows his actions?" William couldn't think of a better adjective for the moment.
"Hmm..." Lionel lit up a cigarette and threw one to William, including the cigarette and the fire: "The main thing is that there is no harm in it, right? I once knew nothing about the world of ability users. I was naive. I thought my ability was a disease or a curse, until the favored one helped me push open the door of ignorance and made me stronger."
"Huh..." William is not a person who likes to smoke, but at this moment he smoked beautifully: "Go on, how did the God's Favorite teach you to deceive trust from me."
"You don't need to deliberately teach me anything, just let me do my job. In fact, in the eight years he has been a security officer, he has only contacted me a few times. Those times he asked me how to do it just right. Come forward, including the time we met, I saved you by accident, right? In fact, it was not accidental at all, it was all arranged by God's favored ones."
"But the accident eight years ago was such a coincidence. It was caused by the combination of several small things with a very small probability of happening..." At this point, William suddenly came to his senses.
"It's very strange, isn't it, that several small things with a very small probability of happening together lead to an air crash that threatens your life?" Lionel continued: "Not to mention the bizarre malfunction of your private jet that day. , causing you to have to take a commercial flight, and a ghost-level person happened to be traveling with you, and he managed to save you among the more than 200 people on the plane."
William was sweating coldly: "What a plan this is..."
Lionel flicked the ashes of his cigarette coolly: "It's not difficult to analyze human behavior patterns. Big data predictions. Not to mention directing an extremely coincidental and unexpected plane crash. You have also experienced the drastic changes in Southeast Asia in the past two days. , Isn’t it easier to create an air disaster than to plan the world?”
"What kind of AI can build such a huge behavioral structure model? I have never heard of such technology in the Federation."
"It's not necessarily a technological achievement. Maybe some of the subordinates of the God's Favored One have the ability to predict supernatural powers." Lionel put the finished cigarette butt directly on the expensive leather sofa.
Lionel's words...are only half right, because the God's Favored One himself is the person with the power of prophecy that he mentioned.
The ability of the God's Favorite is actually on the surface, and its name is - "God's Favorite".
The ability "God's Favorite" itself does not have that many effects. Its only effect is that every time the ability user upgrades to a level, he can obtain a brand new ability according to his own will.
Seeing this, readers and friends may take a breath, because this "god's descendant"... is so powerful that it explodes.
Generally speaking, everyone can only have one kind of superpower. No matter how much it is later developed by ability users, it is still that superpower. But God's Familiar is different. It allows the ability user to have a new set of upgrade routes, and it is not randomly assigned. The ability user "creates" one by himself. This should be left to the protagonist in online articles and comics. Configuration, a cheat-like cheat, the author's own son.
The level of the God's Favorite is actually not high, only the Ghost level, which is still the elementary level, but he has three ghost-level abilities at the same time, namely: the main ability "God's Favorite", and the ability "Law" obtained when he upgrades to the Tiger level. , and the "whispers" you get after rising to the ghost level.
It can be seen from the two secondary abilities chosen by the God's Favorite that he is a very strategic and calculating person.
When ordinary people face this kind of choice, they tend to have some "powerful" abilities with strong destructive power and high attack power. They can be as gorgeous as they want, such as thunder, lightning, lasers, etc. However, the God's Favored One does the opposite. Okay, I put an auxiliary ability on me.
Judging from the current results, the choice of God's Favored One is very correct for the time being. "Law" has brought him a lot of help. Even "Whisper" is a power he chose after repeated calculations.
It's just that Lionel definitely doesn't know about these things, including Palmer and Jin. The only one who knows a lot about the God's Favorite is the Crazy Lord.
"Okay, Mr. William, I've already shown you off, can you turn your head and continue watching Palmer's speech?"
William turned back reluctantly, frustration sweeping through his body, but... the current result was indeed a "crime other than war."
At this time, Palmer's evidence was finished, and the guests basically accepted the fact that William had colluded with the revival organization. As for Palmer, he described himself as an undercover agent who endured the humiliation and removed himself from the matter.
The speech continues, and then comes the "highlight" that Lionel said before.
