Chapter 54 Everything is reasonable! ~Ask for a monthly ticket~)
Go home for dinner?
Monty Kate was in a daze when she heard the old housekeeper's words.
Because today is not a day for family gatherings.
But Monty Kate will not disobey, because he knows very well how true his father is.
Monty Kate both respected and feared her father.
Perhaps, he has already become the mayor of Angcheng.
But he knew how he became the mayor of Angcheng.
It was assigned by his father.
Just like his three brothers entered the Empire's House of Lords, it was also his father's arrangement.
Of course, his father's arrangements were far more than that.
The Kate family occupies 13 of the 133 seats in the Empire's House of Lords, and 23 of the 233 seats in the House of Commons. Simply put, at the core of the empire, the Kate family has one-tenth of the say.
This does not include the commercial and military power that extends from this.
In the military department, at least two powerful generals are also from the Kate family, not directly or branched, but under pseudonyms.
This was all arranged by his father.
The family needs a prime minister!
These were the words his father said at the last family gathering.
However, Monty Kate knew that the prime minister would not be him, but his eldest brother.
Monty Kate has no dissatisfaction with this.
He knows very well that his abilities are not as good as those of his elder brother.
I also like my hometown, Angcheng.
Yes, the Kate family is from Angcheng!
In the old century, he moved to Angcheng.
If I had to say that there is any inherited family in Angcheng...it must be the Kate family.
Therefore, Monty Kate sneered at 'Hydra' and 'Night Owl Court'.
What is Ang City Millennium Organization?
What kind of organization secretly controls everything in Aung City?
In his view, it was simply impossible.
Even if there is, it should be the Kate family.
"Go back to the old house."
After picking up his coat, Monty Kate got directly into the car and ordered the driver.
"Okay, Master."
The driver also comes from the family and is called according to family customs.
As the car drove through the city, Monty Kate narrowed her eyes in contentment as she looked at the familiar city.
He doesn't have much ideals, he just hopes that the city will become more stable and prosperous.
This is what he has always thought about and what he insists on.
The car drove out of the city and entered the original territory of the Kate family.
In fact, if I had to say it, Ang City is now also the territory of the Kate family.
Turning into the alley, Monty Kate's squinted eyes suddenly widened.
He saw several cars listening at the end.
That's the car from Angcheng Military Camp.
Why do military vehicles appear?
You must know that as the hometown of the Kate family, Angcheng has never been able to control the power of the military.
It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I can’t.
His father knew very well what to do and what not to do.
Eddie Monte knew it too.
It is one thing to secretly plant chess pieces within the empire's military system.
But this does not mean that Ang City can completely become the Kate family.
That prime minister is no fool.
If the other party knew about the former, they would just turn a blind eye, but the latter?
Once it happens, it's a real fight.
Thinking of this, Monty Kate's face became serious.
For the first time, he discovered that things were no longer simple.
And as he crossed the road that could only be walked and entered the birthplace of his family, this feeling became more intense.
Not only the extra guards, but also the faint excitement on everyone's face.
He knew who was guarding the family and the people around his father.
There is no difference between these people and machines.
At this moment, an expression appeared.
What happened?
With such doubts, Monty Kate quickened his pace.
Walking through the long corridor, he saw the old housekeeper.
"Butler Dahl."
Monty Kate saluted respectfully.
Monty Kate would never be rude to Lao Guan, who had always been by his father's side, because he knew very well what this stiff and stooped old man had done for the family.
"Master Monty, please wait a moment."
"The master is meeting with some important guests."
The old housekeeper said with a smile.
Seeing such a smile, Monty Kate was stunned for a moment, and then nodded repeatedly.
And the doubts in his heart became even more intense.
What made the old butler so happy?
However, he did not ask. Since the old housekeeper said to wait a moment, he would wait for a while.
The waiting time is not long, about ten minutes.
The door opened from the inside.
A man in military uniform came out.
The man is middle-aged, with a strong body and a tough, rough face. He walks and stands with a unique military aura.
The other party, Monty Kate, is very familiar with him.
Kyle, the supreme commander of the Angcheng military camp.
"Hello, Colonel Kyle."
Monty Kate said with a smile.
"Hello, Monty."
The middle-aged man responded with a smile.
Such a response frightened Monty Kate.
As the supreme commander of the Angcheng military camp, the meaning of Kyle's existence is to monitor every move of the Kate family in Angcheng. To put it simply, the other party is the nail sent by the Prime Minister to plant here.
Naturally, the relationship between the two parties cannot be good.
Even basic concealment cannot be done.
Monty Kate's greeting was purely out of etiquette, and she didn't expect the other party to respond at all, let alone use the title of Monty affectionately.
"Butler Dar, this..."
Monty Kate subconsciously turned her head and looked at the old housekeeper.
The old housekeeper smiled and nodded, pointing inside. Kyle stepped aside, allowing Monty Kate to see clearly what was inside.
His father sat there with a smile on his face.
Sitting opposite were three old men.
One carries a long sword and has a thin face.
One has a round face and a fat figure.
One has scars on his face and a strong build.
Monty Kate didn't recognize the man with the long sword and the round face, but he knew the old man with the scar on his face and had cooperated with him several times.
The president of the Angcheng Bounty Hunters Association, Dybala.
The other party's temper was irritable and unreasonable, and his strong strength left a deep impression on him.
Monty Kate still recognizes the image of a car being lifted above his head and smashing into the enemy.
The father actually knew each other?
Seeing the other party's calm and smiling appearance, Monty Kate was a little unable to react.
"Mondy, come here."
Io Kate said.
"Yes, father."
Monty Kate responded, and then saluted the three guests.
"Dybala, you have seen it."
"This is, Siba."
"This is Avant."
"They are all my friends."
Io Kate introduced his friend.
"Hello."
As a junior, Monty Kate bowed.
But even with his waist bent, Monty Kate froze in mid-air. He raised his head blankly and looked at the old man with a round face and a fat figure, and then looked at his father.
"Siba?"
"Siba, the president of Angcheng Assassin's Guild?"
Monty Kate repeated in a stuttering voice.
Then, he subconsciously looked at Dybala.
Would the leaders of the Bounty Guild and the Killer Guild sit together so peacefully?
Don't you mean that the two sides are mortal enemies?
What's going on?
Could it be...
Father has unknowingly unified Angcheng?!
Monty Kate thought instinctively.
He is the mayor of Angcheng.
Kyle is the supreme commander of the Angcheng military camp.
Dybala is the president of the Bounty Hunters Guild.
Sheba is the president of the Assassin's Guild.
With only one Chamber of Commerce president missing, representatives of almost all the forces in Aung City, both openly and secretly, are gathered here.
wrong!
There is one more person!
Subconsciously, Monty Kate looked at Avant.
"Don't look at me, I have nothing to do with the Chamber of Commerce."
Avant, who was not stupid, understood the meaning in Monty Kate's eyes and immediately said with a smile.
call!
Inexplicably, Monty Kate breathed a sigh of relief.
Not bad, not bad.
Not all.
Just when Monty Kate was feeling happy in her heart, the union leader of the killer union said with a smile: "That junior De'ang is not qualified to sit with us."
De'ang, President of the Angcheng Chamber of Commerce.
Hearing these words, Monty Kate looked at his father with wide eyes.
"Are you ready to make Angcheng independent?"
Monty Kate stammered.
Apart from this, Monty Kate could not think of anything else.
He really wanted to persuade his father to consider the whole city.
Such an irrational approach will only expose the entire city to the flames of war.
But he didn't speak.
Because, he knew very well that since his father had arranged such a big game of chess without anyone noticing, he had obviously thought everything out.
His persuasion was useless.
As for his brother?
It’s even more useless!
He would even cooperate with his father.
Yes, cooperate!
Maybe……
My father's eyes are no longer on Ang City, but on the entire empire!
Thinking of this, Monty Kate's whole body trembled.
He seemed to have seen corpses scattered everywhere and rivers of blood flowing.
"Father……"
"Mondy, it's time to tell you something."
Monty Kate gritted her teeth and was about to persuade her father, but was interrupted by her father. The old housekeeper standing aside came over with several servants.
Everyone held a black, folded cloak in their hands.
Io Kate took the cloak and shook it.
Snap!
Amidst the crisp sound of the cloth, the old man who should have been trembling straightened his body and put the cloak on his body.
Dybala and Sheba are like this.
Except for Avant who was already wearing a cloak, the three old men put on their cloaks and moved slightly to stand behind Avant.
Then……
Masks appeared in the hands of the four people one after another.
The mask was very peculiar, with white overall color, deep-set black eyes, and raised bridge of the nose. It looked like a slightly abstract face of a night owl, making it unforgettable at first sight.
"I didn't expect that I could still wear it."
Dybala grinned.
"Of course, I firmly believe that I will wear it one day."
Siba smiled.
Io Kate touched his own mask, and the aura on his body became more and more fierce, and bursts of wailing like an innocent soul began to appear around the old man.
There was nostalgia on his face.
It's more about expectations.
"'Claw' no.2, return to 'Court'."
Io Kate said and put on the mask.
"'Claw' no.7, returns to 'Court'."
Dybala put on a mask.
"'Claw' no.9, returns to 'Court'."
Siba also wore a mask.
Then, the three of them bowed to Avant with a strange etiquette and shouted in unison——
"Welcome back, 'Claw' No. 1!"
court?!
Night owl mask?!
Monty Kate was not a fool. Seeing the scene in front of him, his eyes widened.
"Night, Night Owl Court?!"
"You are actually the Night Owl Court?"
"The Night Owl Court is actually real?"
His voice had already become trembling.
"Of course the Night Owl Court is real, otherwise, why would there be a Kate family?"
"Our existence is originally because of the 'Night Owl Court'!"
"Also, remember!"
"It's not you, it's us!"
Io Kate said in a serious tone.
"Yes, father."
Faced with his father's seriousness, Monty Kate nodded immediately.
Then, he saw the door behind him open.
The old housekeeper, Kyle, was standing at the door wearing a black cloak. Through the open door, he saw the corridor outside, where densely packed people in black cloaks gathered in front of the door without saying a word.
The old housekeeper came over again holding a black cloak.
Monty Kate looked at her father, looked around, raised her hand to take the cloak, and put it on her body.
And the moment the cloak was draped on her body, a strange feeling appeared in Monty Kate's heart.
It turns out that the Kate family is part of the "Night Owl Court".
And I... too.
As soon as this thought appeared, Monty Kate suddenly felt relieved.
Maybe, this is not bad?
…
Didi, didi!
In the single-family apartment, many machines around Emma suddenly buzzed.
The nurses rushed over quickly.
Looking at Emma who was shaking continuously, she was completely at a loss.
The doctor who promised Emma would wake up at dawn was already sweating profusely.
what happened?
Why doesn't Miss Emma wake up yet?
Shouldn't it?
The doctor looked at the data anxiously.
The more I look at it, the more frightened I become!
Because all parameters are abnormal.
He knew the rules of the organization, and he had already boasted to the deputy leader. If Miss Emma not only did not wake up, but something happened...
Thinking of this, the doctor shuddered.
However, these machines soon returned to normal again.
Emma no longer trembled, and her breathing became steady.
After careful inspection, the doctor breathed a sigh of relief, and then——
"Bring all the manufacturers of these machines to my blacklist!"
"Now, find me a new batch of more advanced machines."
After the doctor finished speaking, he walked aside and made a phone call.
He wanted to report in advance. It was not that his medical skills were incompetent, but that the machine was incompetent.
"Is Emma okay?"
Danvers asked worriedly.
"It's okay, everything will be fine."
"After all, Edmund is here."
Patsy comforted Danvers.
Danforth was immediately relieved when he heard Edmund's name.
But what they didn't know was that at this time, Edmund was looking at the message from the headquarters with a sad face.
Overnight, three special bases of the 'Shelter' were attacked by the 'Temple'.
The attack on the 'Temple' was targeted and the base was easily breached.
Obviously, the 'Temple' already knew information that it should not have known.
Someone told the 'Temple' all this.
There is no need to guess this person, Edmon also knows that he is his former boss Lawrence.
As for why the other party did this?
Edmund guessed it almost instantly.
Because of this, he has a sad face.
Leaning in the sofa chair, Edmond murmured in a low voice.
