Just as Xia Xiu predicted, the children's game is over, and the adult conspiracy has just begun.

In the VIP room, the three young masters of the family who originally thought they would witness a clichéd and easy victory now had different expressions of shock and nervousness on their faces.

"A beast of the space system, a beast of mutated zodiac signs?"

Simon Harvey, who represents the island city's legal family, still maintains a calm face.

Only careful observation can reveal that his eyes shrank instantly and the wine glass in his hand trembled slightly, revealing his inner uneasiness.

"Hell, I remember it was written in the information that that cat was the island city's ration given by the Mayflower Foundation. All beast-taming rations must be tested by our family's estimators, and highly qualified beast-taming rations cannot be missed.

, it’s impossible for our family’s estimator to have such a serious deviation!?”

Leah Moore, who represents the Island City High-tech Federation, did not hide her surprise at all.

His eyes were wide open, his mouth was slightly open, and he had a ghostly expression, obviously in disbelief at what was happening in the field.

"Hamilton Aaron Burr..."

Nick Burton, who represents the Island City real estate family, is a cautious person who is usually good at hiding his emotions. At this moment, he also has to face the inner fluctuations.

"I used the family real estate to connect to the financial genealogy intranet and investigated through internal information channels. There are traces of this person's information and experience. However, this makes people feel even more strange. Could this person...

He must be an FBI agent!"

Real estate guy Nick's first suspicion was that 'Hamilton' was an FBI agent.

"Agent? Our family has always dealt with various official agencies. It's no big deal. As long as it doesn't touch the bottom line of the Federal Reserve Bank or the Internal Revenue Service, even if people from the Bureau of Investigation come here, they have to follow our rules.

"Legal Prince Simon said bluntly.

"I don't think this should be our concern. Regardless of whether that person is an agent or not, the person handling this matter has changed now..."

Leah from the technology interest group shrugged.

Then he continued:

"We really don't need to pay too much attention to this. Whether he is an agent or not, we are no longer responsible for this matter."

Leah paused and added in a low voice: "The senior management of the consortium has begun to notice him. No matter who he is, as long as he is targeted by the consortium..." Although the words were not finished, the seriousness and nervousness in his voice made him

The surrounding atmosphere solidified for a moment.

Although these young family heirs each represent the top forces in the island city, they all show an almost instinctive caution when it comes to the affairs of the consortium.

The name of the consortium seemed to be a taboo, and their reverence for this name was deeply rooted in their bones. Even if they usually had their own opinions and argued with each other, they all fell into silence at this moment.

Everyone in the audience could feel the unusual weight behind the word "consortium". They exchanged heavy looks with each other, and collectively realized the power of silence when mentioning the consortium.

There was a hint of caution and uneasiness in Nick's voice. He looked around cautiously, and after confirming that no one was paying attention, he whispered:

"The San Diego Rockets of the consortium visited our home not long ago. They expressed great dissatisfaction with the recent mysterious death of a University of New Jersey student in the island city."

"Of course, their arrival is mainly due to the recent [windigo] incident in Minnesota."

Simon and Leah looked extremely shocked after hearing this information.

Lawyer Simon immediately asked anxiously: "People from Team Rocket came to visit in person. How could you not tell us about such an important matter earlier?"

Facing the angry looks of the two people, Nick explained with some embarrassment:

“Actually, this matter involves our family’s close ties with the consortium in the real estate and financial chains.

There have been a lot of difficult problems recently.

You also know that the man in Hell's Kitchen recently conquered the first hub plane.

Now the federal government's Second Reserve Governor and Management Bureau are colluding with him, intending to use his power to eliminate heretics in the federation, and that gentleman hopes to get the federation's support and resources in the Ivy War. In this

At this critical moment, if this incident in Minnesota is not handled properly, our family will also be in trouble."

Leah's brows furrowed, and his expression gradually changed from shock to gloom: "So, your Burton family plans to handle it alone, and won't even share information with us about the arrival of the San Diego Rockets!"

Nick looked a little embarrassed and hurriedly defended: "Look, Team Rocket's visit this time is not because of our genetic engineering project or gene seed issues..."

Simon interrupted Nick coldly:

"So what? Although we haven't been fully exposed to the core affairs of the family because of our age, we can already feel how our family has made rapid progress under the influence of the consortium in the past year, and has rapidly become the dominant power in the island city.

.”

His tone became more serious, almost accusatory, "The San Diego Rockets are the executors of the consortium's will. Remember how they initially wiped out all the rebels in the island city? Those who were so powerful that even our families could join forces.

The unmatched characters all disappeared like paper in front of Team Rocket. And now, they have come to the island city again."

Nick shook his head, with a hint of weakness in his voice: "All this is arranged by the consortium. Even if we don't want to, we must comply. The arrival of the Rockets will undoubtedly deal with larger matters, and this... this may

It’s about the balance of the entire federation.”

The real estate man said bluntly:

"The focus of our discussion now is the guy named Hamilton. In any case, the consortium will first conduct a thorough investigation and deal with this high-profile target."

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Considering the abnormal behavior of his Wind Shadow Cat, Team Rocket must be very interested in its gene seeds. This will not change whether he is a federal agent or not.

The current situation.”

Simon and Leah looked at each other, both wanting to say something to refute Nick's oversimplified view, but ultimately had to accept his logic.

What Nick said was not unfounded, but based on a deep understanding of the consortium's ruthless and efficient operating style.

Simon finally spoke, unable to conceal his worry:

"You are so sure because you already know that everything is inevitable, right? Isn't Team Rocket's intervention a dangerous signal?"

Nick smiled lightly, adjusted his sitting posture, and looked more serious:

"Indeed, I mentioned Team Rocket because the situation has developed to the point where it cannot be simply covered up. However, the person leading the team this time is Mr. Ernest, and he is not an ordinary consortium operator. His intervention means that the consortium has already

Prepare to use heavy troops, for that golden retriever, no matter how great his background is, he is just like an ant when facing Lord Ernest."

"Huh~"

In the cold afternoon, Xia Xiu, wearing blue winter clothes, stood outside the wide door of the arena, looking around at the busy scene around him, and then stretched out his hand to rub his itchy nose.

His [Crown Ring] felt another wave of malice, and this time the malice was not small.

“It’s true that wherever you go, you will be remembered.”

Xia Xiu muttered a few words in a low voice, and then adjusted the bag on his back. He was carrying a fishing rod bag in the same blue color as his outfit.

His left shoulder carries Little Hope. This miniature, delicate purple-haired and purple-eyed elf is sitting with his legs swaying back and forth, curiously observing the scene of people coming and going; while on his right shoulder, the silver-grey figure is in a kind of way.

Standing with a majestic posture, its silver hair exudes a soft luster in the sun.

The list he held in his hand accurately explained his current situation in the format of an official document.

The list states:

——[Island City Beast Control Bureau]——

Dear Mr. Hamilton,

After our evaluation of your performance in today's competitive activities, combined with your beast-control performance and ability level, the Island City Beast Control Bureau has made the following decision:

According to Article 17 of the Island City Beast Taming Competition Rules, any beast taming that clearly exceeds the current competition level will be prohibited from continuing to participate in that level of competition to ensure the fairness of the competition.

Therefore, we have decided to immediately disqualify you from competing in the junior and intermediate categories. We encourage you to apply to participate in the senior category so that the beasts can compete at the appropriate level.

This notice is effective immediately. If you have any questions or need further information, please contact the Island City Beast Control Bureau.

————————

"I've been moved." "Lao Deng", who had just experienced bullying the young master in the food abuse game, sighed with some disappointment.

"So, what are we going to do next, play in the senior competition?" The hope on Xia Xiu's shoulders was very concerned about the next trip, so she continued, "With your ability, playing in the senior competition can attract bigger fish.

Well?"

"How about experiencing the night fishing in Dao City at night? Then we can walk around in the past few days to see what other interesting things we can do here."

Xia Xiu's voice floated in the air along with the noise of the crowd. He patted the fishing rod bag behind his back, his tone revealing a leisurely style.

"Just fishing?" Hope looked at the blond young man's curved profile with suspicion.

"Yes." Xia Xiu said more relaxedly.

At this moment, he is like a prodigal player who did not push the main plot in his previous life. He only focused on one word, play!

I, the fourth sword-wielder in the Kingdom of Heaven, have been fighting and killing me since my debut until now, and I will explode wherever I go... Ahem, wherever I go, there will always be swords and swords. I have been fighting for a lifetime, can't I still enjoy it?

He now wants to experience the fun of fishing, and he has a hunch that he can catch the big fish he wants during this ice fishing.
