In this morning's attack without warning, a behemoth like the Nine Celestial Family also exposed the shortcomings of the family's children who have been aloof and pampered for thousands of years and have gradually lost their sense of worry.
So that when the enemy attacks, especially when this enemy cuts through the mess quickly and unreasonably.
The behemoth Tianhu Bart family's response system, which has not been optimized or improved for a long time and is too bloated and slow, cannot keep up with the speed of the intruders at this time.
Coupled with the dandy habits of some third-generation children, they think that the so-called "invaders" on their family's territory are just stupid wretches, and even go downstairs to watch the clowns in their pajamas.
Burlesque show.
What I didn't expect was.
He himself became the biggest clown, and thus the scene where Higashinohara drew blood with a single blow.
You must know that Higashinohara's current [agility] attribute is as high as 90 points, and with the help of other attributes and various abilities, he is firmly at the lower limit of "quasi-ninth level". The upper limit is unpredictable depending on the target opponent.
Francis of "eight stages and four stages",
Perhaps with the divine racial talent and the superiority of speed ability users over physical ability users, he can still find a sense of presence in front of the hunter Shura who is at the same level as him.
But in front of Higashinohara?
Feel sorry.
This speed is still too slow.
The tenth floor of the World Bank Building.
After cutting off the head of the son of the Tianhu Bart family in front of him with one knife, Higashinohara's face did not show much emotion. No matter what status this young man had in the Tianhu Bart family, what would happen to him if he was killed?
s consequence.
Now that it's here.
It is impossible for Higashinohara to still have scruples. There is no way in this world to break into someone's home without offending someone.
What's more, Higashinohara has now offended a behemoth like the Judgment Division.
As the saying goes, if you have a lot of debts, you won't have to worry about it, and if you have a lot of lice, you won't be itchy. Naturally, he won't worry about offending another Sky Fox Bart family.
He has only one life.
But if they want to kill him, these high-ranking people in the clouds will have to pay a high price.
Higashinohara is not a murderous person.
When he left the tenth floor,
A gurgling stream of blood flowed out from the crack in the door of the emergency passage, and soon dyed the marble floor red.
In the hall behind him, the injured Hunter Shura was leaning against the wall, gasping for breath and feeling inexplicably shocked. His eyes were fixed on the ground surrounded by dead bodies, and then he glanced at the headless corpse of the third-generation young master of Tianhu Bart's family not far away.
Suddenly,
It was obvious that he was trapped in the enemy's camp and it was difficult to escape, but he choked on the blood foam and let out a burst of extremely happy laughter.
World Tower, seventy-eight floors.
After the woman in black hung up the phone, Yavuz Butt asked calmly, "Is it him?"
An extremely abnormal paleness appeared on the face of the woman in black.
From the moment she was sent to the third-generation young master Francis Bart, it meant that she was his deadpool.
But now.
Francis Bart is dead.
But she is still standing here alive.
The outcome is unexplainable.
She swallowed with some difficulty, nodded and said, "Yes."
Although she had never seen the other party's face, she, who was also a member of the intelligence team of the Heavenly Guide Nine Blades, could easily identify the other party's weird voice.
He is exactly the same as the guy wearing a dragonfly mask who appears in the internal video data of the Nine Families.
Yavuz Bart's pupils couldn't help but shrink slightly, and then a faint smile appeared on his face. He shook his head and said, "It seems that I underestimated him. I didn't expect that he really has the courage."
Dare to come here openly."
From beginning to end, he never asked about the situation of his biological son and only heir, Francis Bart.
Because when the voice of Higashinohara rang on the other end of the phone belonging to Francis Bart.
This is enough to explain everything.
As the next head of the Tianhu Bart family, Yavuz Bart never asks questions that are destined to be fruitless.
Not sure if he was remembering something from the past, the middle-aged man looked away from the floor-to-ceiling window.
He shook his head gently and said, "More than ten years ago, I saw the man who fell from this window, his face full of unwilling anger and hatred."
"What does he hate? Did we kill him? No, what really hinders the survival of these humans is their stupidity."
"But it seems that there will be another guilty soul in this building today."
When he said this, the blade of the large sharp knife lying flat on the shelf fell in the shadow of the curtain, and the upward part of the knife was reflected in his eye holes.
By the time the uneasy woman in black came to her senses, Yavuz Bart had already picked up the big sharp knife on the knife holder in the room, and put on the dark brown coat on the hanger at the door when he went out.
.
He walked towards the corridor without looking back.
The woman in black suddenly felt shocked!
The Tianhu Bart family is based on controlling the world's finance. Yavuz Bart, who has just been promoted to the ninth level, is undoubtedly one of the peak combat capabilities of the Tianhu Bart family.
Except for the old guys in the family who are still trying to break through the life and death barrier above the ninth level, the strongest member of the Bart family who is still walking around today is undoubtedly Yavuz Bart, and even the current head of the family, Bettencourt.
Bart's strength is slightly inferior to him after getting old and frail.
What's even more terrifying is,
This man still has plenty of potential.
It's like that peerless sword kept warm in its sheath.
The Twelve Skills of Kyoto’s Supreme Sharp Sword!
Minghu!
The origin of the name of the sword is said to be that the wielder used the sword to cut off a monster whose shadow was reflected on the shoji. The monster made a fox cry, and the sword got its name.
This knife is one of the two twelve-gear sharp knives collected by Tianhu Bart's family hundreds of years ago.
The sword originally belonged to the family heads of the past generations, but in this generation, it was passed on to this outstanding son in advance by Betancourt Bart, the head of the family who was deeply old and frail.
However, even though he received information from the pirates last night and helped bring back Dorothy Alita, the middle-aged man in front of him only put on the coat and did not go out with the knife.
But today, he was carrying the sword again that had not been unsheathed for ten years.
Of course there is emphasis on the other party.
But I'm afraid there is still a little bit of sullenness hidden in him. No matter how dandy Francis Bart is.
After all, he was his only heir.
However, the woman in black suddenly took a deep breath and hurriedly followed, but she couldn't stop thinking in her heart:
The man downstairs
I can die by this knife.
There should be no regrets.
Just when Higashinohara downstairs revealed his identity and changed his "sneaking" method; upstairs the next head of Tianhu Bart's family was also preparing to welcome him.
In the same building,
The real current head of the Tianhu Bart family,
But the old man with wrinkles on his face, Bettencourt Bart, came to the medical floor on the 73rd floor of the building.
——This was originally the most luxurious private hospital of Tianhu Bart's family, where the world's top medical staff gathered together.
However, since last night, this place seems to have turned into an invisible cage, and even the people wandering in the corridor are seventh-level peak absolute ability users.
When the old man opened the door and walked into the ward with gentle steps, the white curtains in the corner of the ward were slightly rustled by the high-altitude wind.
Lying on the as-white hospital bed was a woman wearing a dark blue hospital gown, with hanging needles hanging from many places on her hands and feet.
Drops of liquid followed the transparent hose and slowly flowed into the blood circulation of the woman's body - it was not a medicine to treat a disease, but a slow-acting anesthetic that could knock down an elephant.
I noticed someone walking into the room,
Dorothy Alita's eyes slowly opened, staring at the familiar yet unfamiliar old man in front of her.
The old man smiled slightly, waved to the people following him to exit the ward, and then walked to the closed window, and the white curtains stopped shaking.
But at this moment,
The floor of the ward shook slightly, a few wisps of white lime slowly fell from the gaps above the head, and there were a few white dirt on the dark black marble floor.
The old man sat on the armchair beside the bed, leaned back to find a comfortable angle, crossed his hands on his knees, and stared at Dorothy Alita on the hospital bed with a smile.
"Do you feel it? The building is shaking."
Dorothy Alita did not express anything, and even the corner of her eyes did not fall on the old man, as if she was afraid of dirtying her eyes.
In this World Bank building, in this world, not many people dare to treat the wrinkled old man in front of them like this, even if he looks really old.
Because he is Bettencourt Barthes.
The current head of Tianhu's Bart family is an old man who can cause a storm in the world's financial and stock markets even if he is ill and sneezes.
But Bettencourt Barthes didn't care about the woman's rudeness. He looked at this grown-up girl whom he hadn't seen for more than ten years with a calm expression.
in silence,
Suddenly he spoke again and said slowly, "This floor is home to the world's top anesthetists. I think he can control the dosage of anesthetics so that you can't open your mouth to speak. Or maybe it's because you don't know much about this topic.
not interested."
Lying on the hospital bed, Dorothy Alita remained silent for a while. Her face was pale and she stared at the ceiling without blinking, like a transparent and fragile porcelain doll.
Bettencourt Bart smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "In the competition between elders and younger generations, parents can never win against stubborn children. Well, then, let's talk about some topics that interest you."
Saying this in his mouth,
The old man picked up the remote control on the bedside table and pressed the switch on the huge LCD screen opposite the hospital bed.
The screen turned on, and what appeared in front of us was not some entertainment program to adjust the atmosphere, but a 3D three-dimensional picture with a model of a skyscraper in the picture.
The old man raised the remote control and lightly touched a certain floor of the skyscraper model, and the situation on that floor was presented before their eyes.
A little red dot.
A dozen little blue dots.
Next, just like the snake game, the little red dot kept approaching the little blue dots distributed in different locations at a shocking speed.
The moment you get close,
The small blue dot suddenly disappeared from the screen model.
One, two, three.
In the blink of an eye,
The dozen or so little blue dots on that floor all disappeared, leaving only a solitary little red dot climbing up another level in the 3D model of the skyscraper.
The moment she saw this scene, Dorothy Alita's light blue pupils suddenly made waves, staring at the moving little blue dot.
"It's such an amazing speed." The old man seemed to be really amazed in his tone.
But there is still a trace of regret.
Dorothy Alita immediately turned her head, biting her lips, and stared at the old man's face with her light blue pupils filled with hatred.
"Don't look at me like this as an enemy. We are relatives, aren't we?" the old man suddenly said.
"Relatives?"
Dorothy Alita seemed to have heard the funniest joke. She stared at the other person and said in a very weak tone, "Is there any relative in the world who would kill the father of his child with his own hands and then send someone to kill himself?"
child?"
After a pause, Dorothy Alita suddenly stared at the old man's old face word by word and said, "You once said that my father's death has nothing to do with you, but Ockham you sent to kill me.
Tell me everything.
my father,
I was killed on your orders!"
The old man's brows could not help but frown slightly, and then finally turned into a slight sigh, and suddenly said inexplicably:
"When I was young, my father, the previous head of Tianhu Bart's family, once told me that if a person doesn't do a few things to indulge his inner beast in his life, he is destined to have little future."
Bettencourt Bart smiled, shook his head and said, "Your father did not die in my hands, but in his stubborn hands."
After a pause, the old man seemed to be caught up in the memory of a past event, and continued, "You and your mother have a good eye for people. Although your father has no awakening ability, he has an excellent financial mind, which is enough to assist Tianhu.
The Barts are one step closer to controlling the world's financial lifeline, if only, of course, he is willing to indulge his inner beast a little."
"But, he refused."
The old man sighed softly again, "I told him exactly what my father said to me back then.
But your father stubbornly said to me,
The reason why people distinguish between beasts is because they have imprisoned the beast in their hearts and cannot stand by while those ordinary people have their families destroyed because of our behind-the-scenes operations."
In an instant, tears filled the eyes of the cold-blooded man on the hospital bed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "So... you just killed him?"
"No."
The old man shook his head in denial.
"He chose death himself."
The smile on Betancourt Bart's face gradually faded, and he said in a cold voice, "Being my son-in-law and joining the noble Sky Fox Bart family as a humble human being should have been something he could be proud of throughout his life.
I thought he had the consciousness to abandon everything before. But I didn’t expect that he didn’t even have this consciousness.”
Having said this, the old man looked indifferently at Dorothy Alita, whose pale body was lying on the hospital bed and trembling slightly. He shook his head and said, "Similarly, I also gave you and the man you chose.
Chance."
"The Tianhu Bart family is not the Adjudication Department, the World Government, or the other eight major families. We have no friends, no enemies, only eternal interests."
"I sent Occam to the hell world to contact you. I wanted to give you a chance to choose, but you just watched the opportunity pass before your eyes, and even killed Occam."
Dorothy Alita gradually calmed down her newly excited emotions, and stared at the old man beside the bed with the same cold eyes, "Put away your disgusting hypocrisy, Occam has been there since the first meeting.
Plan to keep us alive."
Hearing these words, the old man's sunken eye sockets turned slightly, knowing which link had gone wrong.
But he didn't give any more explanation.
Because that's not important anymore.
From the moment Dorothy Alita announced that she had joined the Queen Pirates, from the moment that man "sneaked" into the World Bank Building.
The other party has lost the opportunity to get "choice" from him, just like the man who was thrown down from the top floor of the building many years ago.
die,
It's their own choice.
It is also the only option.
Thinking about this,
The old man stared at the pale Dorothy Alita lying on the hospital bed, and a deep disgust suddenly flashed through his sunken eyes.
