Rodney, who was sitting in the chair, couldn't help but have a smile on his face as he watched Lothar 11 walk out of the conference hall.
There was both relaxation and disdain in this smile.
However, the latter was fleeting and quickly overshadowed by other emotions.
At the same time, the tense atmosphere in the conference room just now disappeared.
Donna, the representative of the 'Hera Family', although wearing a veil, at this time, anyone can feel her relaxation.
As easy as Rodney.
Waiters, the representative of the ‘Emel Family’ is no exception.
Although his body was sitting there upright, his face was no longer as serious as before.
"Oh, flowers growing in a greenhouse."
The representative of the 'Gipson Family', Rodney chuckled again.
There was a sense of disdain in his tone again.
But in this regard, representatives of the other two families, agents Donna and Waiters, nodded in agreement.
"Who made me the young master of the Lothar family?"
"Even the flowers in the greenhouse can still have food and clothing without worries."
Shaking the folding fan slightly, there was a trace of resentment in Donna's words, but then it turned into a soft sigh.
Full of helplessness and a hint of powerlessness.
Rodney and Waiters pursed their lips tightly at the same time.
The two of them understand each other deeply.
As representatives and agents of the ‘Hundred Families’, they know their status clearly. In the eyes of outsiders, one person is inferior to ten thousand people, but in reality?
For the 'Hundred Big Families', he is a 'worker' who can be replaced at any time.
‘Migrant’ is also a word they find nice to hear.
Ugly?
tool?
This is an overestimation.
dog?
An appropriate description.
The master gives them a bone, and they have to keep wagging their tails to complete various commands.
If done well, that is your bounden duty and what you should do.
Is it going to be done poorly?
Beatings and punishments are also necessary.
After all, this is part of dog training.
Even, to a certain extent, they are worse than 'dogs'.
At least the dog still has some freedom.
them?
No.
Nothing.
Underneath that glamorous appearance, there is only ‘loyalty’ to their respective families!
One hundred percent loyalty!
Apart from this, there are no other impurities.
For example……
Schilling!
Rodney, Donna, and Waiters, the three family representatives and agents looked at the place where Schilling committed suicide almost at the same time. Although the place had long been cleaned up, there seemed to be something in the eyes of the three of them.
The blood turned red, and the smell of blood could be smelled in the nose again.
Intense.
Lingering.
It makes people uncomfortable.
Then, all three of them became unnatural.
Rodney's smile hardened.
Donna folded and opened her folding fan.
Waiters sat up straight, but puffed out his chest again, looking like he wished he could be straighter again.
They all seemed to see their fate at this moment.
At the same time, they are also rejoicing.
This time, it's not them.
But, what about next time?
What about next time?
The atmosphere that had just relaxed became tense again at this time.
This atmosphere lasted for about ten seconds, but was finally broken by Donna.
The lady wearing a black veil and a bright red dress tapped her palms with a folding fan, and spoke with a crisp crackling sound.
"Now is not the time for silence. We are the victors."
"It is true this time and it will be true next time."
"After all, we joined forces."
Donna said loudly.
"That's right!"
"The three of us joining forces are enough to ensure that we have no worries. No one in the entire F area can stop us. And as long as we continue, in less than 10 years, we will be able to become members of each other's family's 'Elder Council'. By that time,
That’s when we can breathe a sigh of relief and truly enjoy life.”
Waiters nodded and said a rare series of words.
On the face of this representative and agent of the 'Emel Family', a trace of yearning is obvious.
No doubt, he was looking forward to that moment.
Or to be more precise, it was precisely because of such expectations that he was able to persevere.
"10 years!"
"I regret not meeting you two earlier."
"If I had met earlier, I might have had my own life, right?"
Rodney, the oldest representative and agent of the 'Gipson Family', couldn't help but sigh.
Time is the fairest.
Every minute, every second, every moment will be imprinted on everyone.
Time is ruthless.
Because such a mark is irreversible.
Rodney twisted his stiff back, feeling the pain, and couldn't help but sigh again.
"Is it too late now?"
Donna asked.
Waiters looked at Rodney.
There was a kind of scrutiny in his eyes.
It is not only a review between allies, but also a review by opponents.
Rodney smiled inwardly at such a look.
Their alliance is already very fragile, purely because of interests at the center of everything. There is no so-called affection at all, let alone helping hands at critical moments.
When that time comes, if you don't add insult to injury, you will be a good character.
He doesn't blame the other person.
Not even resentful.
Because, he is the same.
A smile appeared on Rodney's face again.
"It's not too late."
"Of course it's not too late."
"We are just getting started, and everything will get better and better."
Rodney said, looking at Waiters without giving in.
It lasted for a full two seconds before the two sides turned their heads together in a tacit understanding.
At this time, Donna said just right.
"According to the agreement, the 'Send Family's' 'surface property' in Area F will be divided into four parts. You and I will account for 30%, and the remaining 70% will be given to the Lothar 11 young master and will be borne by him.
The anger of the 'Sende Family', and we will not touch the 'real industry', and will leave it to the successor of the 'Sende Family' who comes to Area F..."
Speaking of this, there was a trace of unwillingness in Donna's voice.
Rodney Waiters also had a similar expression on his face.
Such a good opportunity, but they took the least.
Although this was excellent enough, when they saw the bigger cake being given to the young Master Lothar 11 who did nothing, the three of them felt helpless again.
As for ‘real industry’?
It refers to everything ‘in the game’.
They won't move these.
Because this represents the core of every family.
If we really want to move, we will start a war.
And what Wieters deliberately said just now about the "Send family's industry in the game" was just to create a quarrel and force Lothar 11 to leave.
If it were really given to him, Waiters wouldn't dare to ask for it.
"Think of something nice."
"Although we each only get 10%, Master Lothar 11, who gets 70%, has to help us deal with the successor of the 'Sende Family' who is about to come to Area F."
"If you think about it, we got 10% for nothing."
"Why not?"
Rodney persuaded the two collaborators.
"Master Lothar 11, okay?"
Waiters sounded skeptical.
"Of course."
“It’s okay even if it doesn’t work.”
"Even if Master Lothar 11 is not good enough, 70% of the 'surface property' of the 'Sende Family' is enough for the 'Lothar Family' to send special personnel to deal with it, and... the 'Lothar Family' may have a bigger hand.
"
Rodney continued to laugh.
Waiters, Donna's eyes lit up.
A bigger deal?
Naturally, it refers to the ‘real industry’ of the ‘Send Family’.
Just because they can't touch such an industry doesn't mean that the Lothar family will give up.
Although most of the time, the Lothar Family will remain rational, but if there is an opportunity, the Lothar Family will not let it go.
What's more, they will also 'help'.
Of course, the help is not free, they will also receive a certain amount of compensation.
Fishing in troubled waters?
They are good at it.
Bang!
Just when the three of them were about to discuss some detailed plans, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Rodney Waiters's face suddenly showed anger.
Donna couldn't see it due to the veil, but the way she suddenly raised her head and looked at the door was enough to explain everything.
"You'd better have a valid reason."
"Otherwise, I will lock you up with the most vicious 'violators'."
Waiters looked at the employees in the building and said word by word.
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency."
The frightened building employees, who had already rushed over, became even more frightened after hearing what Waiters said, and their words became awkward.
"Calm down and say."
Rodney quickly calmed down and waved his hands to Waiters and Donna before looking at the building employee.
"Master Lothar 11 was held hostage in the parking lot. That's not right. He wasn't held hostage. He was attacked. That's not right either. He..."
The building employee spoke a little confused.
However, the three people present did not wait for the building employee to explain clearly and rushed out directly.
Sender 9 is dead and died outside, which is a good thing for them.
Something happened to Lothar 11 in the parking lot of the building. It was really a disaster for them.
"monitor!"
"Bring me the surveillance camera!"
"I want to see them all."
"Guard!"
"Everyone, get out of my way!"
Rodney Waiters shouted loudly as he walked.
Donna remained silent, but walked the fastest.
…
Beard and Rosslow looked at Lothar 11 with wide eyes, looking like they didn't understand what was happening at all.
Lothar 11 looked at the two of them helplessly.
Didn't he make it very clear?
Why can't these two people react?
Seeing those black suits getting closer and closer, Lothar 11 had no time to explain.
"Beard, put your hand around my neck and cover my mouth with your sleeve as much as possible. I will tell you what to do. Rosslow, just cooperate with Beard."
After speaking quickly, Lothar 11 put Beard's arm around his neck again, and pushed open the car door.
Beard had some reaction at this time.
Cooperate immediately.
"Don't come here!"
"Come here again and I'll shoot!"
Beard strangled Lothar 11's neck with one hand and pointed the gun directly at Lothar 11's temple.
Rosslow stood aside, holding his gun in both hands and pointing directly at the black suits rushing towards them.
However, my hands are a little shaky.
Two and a half on my side.
Beard and Lothar 11 count as two, and he counts as half.
What about the other side?
A full 10 people.
Moreover, he was still in the "Game Building", which made Roslo very nervous and didn't know what to do at all.
Fortunately, Lothar 11's voice came slightly.
"Go straight to the elevator!"
"Elevator No. 2."
Lothar 11 said softly.
His eyes swept over the black suits, confirming that there was no memory of these people in his mind. His body followed Beard and moved slowly, but deep down in his heart, Lothar 11 was lamenting.
There is no doubt that the trouble is greater than he imagined.
Being able to bring 10 people into the 'Game Building' without any sound and ambush them just right is not something that ordinary people can do.
Apart from him, the only ones left are Rodney from the Gibson Family, Donna from the Hera Family, and Waiters from the Emel Family.
Of course, before Sender 9 dies, there is still Sender 9.
And with the death of Sender 9, only those three people were left.
But Lothar 11 didn't believe that the three of them would do such a thing.
It's not because of the 'loyalty' of the three people.
It’s just because the three of them ‘know the current affairs’.
The three of them knew exactly what he represented.
Once something like this is really done, it is irreversible.
etc!
Irreversible?
Could it be...
"Send 9's death is related to one of them?"
Suddenly, such an idea entered Lothar 11's brain.
Deep down in his heart, he still didn't want to believe it.
However, some of the information and clues he knew began to connect involuntarily.
The simplest point is to grasp the timing!
The assassin was so familiar with Sende 9 that he couldn't be more familiar with it!
Only that kind of familiarity will allow Sender 9 to "step into a trap" without knowing it.
But who provides this ‘familiarity’?
Lothar 11 once doubted Butler Schilling, but after his death, Lothar 11 knew that he had been misled, but he didn't think much about it.
Just mislead.
He didn't want to get involved anyway.
But it’s different now!
"No. 1!"
"Don't go to Elevator 2!"
"Go to Elevator 1!"
Lothar 11 emphasized.
Elevator No. 2 is the exclusive elevator of the Lothar Family in the Game Building.
In fact, there is more than one such proprietary elevator.
‘Send Family’ is Elevator No. 1.
‘The Gibson Family’ is Elevator 3.
‘Hera Family’ is Elevator No. 4.
‘Emel Family’ is Elevator No. 5.
Just now, Lothar 11 subconsciously chose the elevator that belonged to her family, but at this time, Lothar 11 did not dare to take the family's exclusive No. 2 elevator at all.
Sender 9 is ‘familiar’.
What about him?
Since the other party dares to attack him, he must be familiar with him.
You will definitely guess that he will enter elevator No. 2 next.
And in Elevator No. 2, there is naturally a trap.
Not fatal.
But anesthetics and the like are inevitable.
He doesn't want to become a caged bird.
Therefore, elevator No. 1 is the best choice.
Why not choose elevators 3, 4, and 5?
Because, before confirmation, Lothar 11 no longer believed any of Rodney, Donna, or Waiters.
bite!
The elevator door opened.
Beard held Lothar 11 hostage and walked into the elevator side by side with Ross Rowe.
The door closed slowly.
Lothar 11 looked at the button on the elevator.
There are buttons on all floors including the top floor.
Then, Lothar 11 thought for a moment and pressed 4.
"Fourth floor?"
Beard was stunned.
As the former security consultant of the Sender Family, he knows exactly where the fourth floor is.
"No other place is safe now, only there is the safest."
Lothar 11 said with certainty.
Beard nodded slightly and agreed with Lothar 11's statement.
Being able to hide 10 people in the ‘Game Building’, it is not difficult to arrange a few more people.
Rothlow, who entered the Game Building for the first time, was confused.
"Where is that?"
Rosslow asked in a low voice.
Lothar 11 answered.
"'House of the Torturer'!"
"Each family has its own family's 'House of Violence', and this elevator is the exclusive elevator of the 'Send Family', so it leads to the people living in the 'House of Violence'
