In the early morning, Ben Douglas was already sitting in his office. After the Secretary of beautiful Keren brought him coffee with fragrance, he left the space for the old man alone. It's Ben's habit. He doesn't like to be disturbed when he's in the office. The quiet environment helps him concentrate, especially for the old man of his age. With the growth of age, it is more and more difficult for him to stop his loose spirit.

Old man, this is a problem that we didn't deliberately avoid. Even though he knows very well that his energy level has not subsided due to the aging of his body, but has accumulated towards the peak. If Ben wanted to, he could activate his cells with energy to keep his appearance and physical fitness in the golden age of his life. Although it will be a great burden on the body, it can be totally affordable in terms of his energy.

Ben didn't do that. He knew that his old rival, oglock, was dying. But if the people below dare to look down on them, the sad ending has already been written in the script of fate. Just like some mutants in the wilderness, they will protect and deceive their opponents through their own disguise.

It is also a disguise to some extent that Ben and oglock allow themselves to grow old. People tend to believe in their eyes more than their intuition, especially young people. They think that the world is their own, so they are unwilling to accept the status quo and even challenge the authority.

On the light screen of my desk, Rocky's face is quietly presented. Back more than a decade ago, Ben was young and rocky and the other kids were young. After Ben found these potential children and brought them back to asgart from the wilderness, they had to carry out strict training, and finally screened out the potential users. Ben remembers that rocky was the youngest and the most vulnerable.

But every child who bullied rocky seemed to be favored by the God of bad luck. Either he broke his hand or foot in training, or he was severely punished for violating the rules. The truth, of course, has nothing to do with bad luck. It's just Rocky's revenge. That day, he only thought it was a child's prank. But from now on, I'm afraid that at that time, rocky had already revealed his dark nature.

Rocky has been closely monitored by valkiri. Judging from the intelligence of the goddess of war during this period, rocky is safe. He himself seems to find that the situation is not good for him. He seldom goes to the aristocratic salon on weekdays. He always locks himself in the house with strange style. If it were not for his breath in the house, even valkiri could not believe that the brothers who did not follow the routine would be so well behaved.

At this time, the icon requesting communication is flashing on the light screen. Ben opened it, so the Secretary appeared on the screen and said, "Mr. Douglas, general carrio asked to see you."

"Let him in."

A moment later, the moving door of the elevator opened and carrio came in like a big iron. The oversized uniform was still too tight on carrio, and the heavy boots were on the floor tiles of the hall. I could almost hear the painful groan of these bricks. Biting two cigars, the general stabbed himself on the sofa, as straightforward as ever.

"Old friend, it's hard for you to get up so early. There must be something important." Ben, smiling, took his coffee and sat down across from carlio. He raised his glass and said, "would you like to have one too?"

"Thank you. It's better to have your golden cat bring me whitegate than coffee."

"It's not good to drink early in the morning."

"I'm used to it."

Although the mouth said "not good", but Ben still let the Secretary carry a drink. When the secretary left, carrio didn't forget to pinch his plump hip. The secretary let out a low cry and glared at carlio before he left.

"You're still the same." Ben said with a smile that carrio was the most daring in his youth. One moment before, he can still do [love] with the female soldiers in the camp, and the next moment he can run to the battlefield with his pants.

Carlio picked up his glass and said, "wine and women are probably things I can't give up in my life."

"Back to business." Carlio said gravely, "I'd rather talk about you than me. Old man, you allowed the Council to participate in and vote on the military supplies of this western expedition. It's our military's business. It will only make trouble for those old men to get involved. "

"Old friend, you have to understand. Asgat is no longer a small human settlement Ben took a sip of coffee and said with a faint smile, "look at this city, old friend. It's not just our credit that it can become as grand as it is today. This is inseparable from the financial and material assistance of those people. "

"But it's very important for the Western expeditionary army to increase its armament and personnel input. Those old men only care about profits, but they don't understand military affairs. I'm afraid they'll screw it up." Carlio is outspoken.Ben nodded and said, "I know what you're trying to say, old friend. You can rest assured that this time a vote is needed. The six members of the aristocratic class need to be collectively approved in order to stabilize our military headquarters. But think about how many aristocrats are willing to invest in the armaments of the western expedition. I heard that little Beyonce went hunting with two old men Austin and Charlotte. Do you know what they found? "

"What?"

"Black gold." Ben said faintly: "that's what businessmen care about. It can be imagined that in a short period of time in the future, the investment focus of browning and Herbert will be on black gold. That's what they can see. As for the reclamation of the Western tundra, the investment cycle is long and the return is limited. Under such circumstances, will they pass tyre's proposal? "

"But don't forget that when the three leaders leave asgat, according to the rules, their voting rights will be allocated to the next few confidants. If Tyr wins their approval, the proposal may also be passed. "

Ben laughed and said, "if so, the three masters can retire. Don't worry, their confidants must have informed their masters before they dare to exercise their voting rights. "

"I hope so." Calio snorted again: "I think that boy Tyr was dazzled by his achievements. For this western expedition, he not only asked for additional armament investment, but also brought the hammer of destruction. At the moment of golden Tomahawk's westward expedition, hammer of destruction is the only elite battle group in asgat. If he's transferred away, I'm afraid old Ogg won't move his mind. "

Carlio said the contradiction of the western expedition proposal, Ben sighed: "tyre's starting point is good, and he is also for the early construction of another kingdom of God. The boy is resourceful and decisive. He is a rare general. But he is still young, and he doesn't understand the reason that haste makes failure. Then again, when we were young, we didn't fear so many things as we do now. We didn't let go and do a lot of work. "

"So we're all old."

A slight sigh reverberates in the highest power of the city.

Everything has its advantages and disadvantages, just like the two sides of a coin. The limited freedom of asgat, in a large case, condenses the people of the city. But at the same time, it also differentiates the power of the superior.

The Council of asgat was a window for the aristocracy to participate in urban management. Up to now, the Council has a certain right to participate in asgat's policy. However, Ben considered this issue at the beginning of the establishment of the Council, so he made some arrangements in advance. For example, three family members with voting rights each have two votes on hand.

The remaining three members have only one vote. If a proposal is to override the will of the military headquarters, it must be passed collectively by six members. Otherwise, as long as one person abstains or votes against it, the military headquarters will always have the upper hand. Among the six members, the other three did not mention it. In the past 20 years, the owners of the three big families have not reached a consensus on one issue.

It's related to the competition between them, which is another brilliant point of Ben. He supports the weaker side, so as to restrain the other two families. Although the Senate can participate in the decision-making, it is often in Ben's hands that the final decision-making power is in his hands.

This time, however, it was different from the past. At the moment of leaving the city for hunting, the three masters followed asgat's supplementary instructions on voting rules. When the owner leaves the city, the two tickets in his hand are automatically controlled by two designated persons registered.

For example, in the absence of the herbergs and Austin, one of the two votes fell to mablos of the ramboston family. Today, however, mebloss has some problems. Because his son Charles is missing, he has been out of touch for 24 hours.

According to the housekeeper, his son Charles left after going to a party last night, but never came back home. It's almost impossible. Is Charles going to be kidnapped in ashgartley?

Mebloss frowned, thinking that Charles himself was a capable man, and judging from the fact that he had disappeared so thoroughly last night. Charles must have been captured by high-level talents. But mebloss thought that the only high-level ability of the ramboston family was the new noble. But zero and the big three have left asgat to hunt in the wilderness. It is said that he has also taken away his capable men and troops, so it is impossible for him to do it.

Thinking about it, mablos couldn't figure out who was the suspect.

Now the door opened and the old housekeeper stumbled in with a note in his hand and put it on mebloss's desk, saying, "master, I have news from the young master."

Mebloss quickly took the note and looked at it. It said: if you don't want your baby son to have something to do, come to the warehouse at 7 Gem Avenue alone at 12 o'clock tonight.

"And this, sir." The housekeeper took out another box.Mebloss opened the box, but inside was a bloody ear. There was a needle embedded in the ear wheel, with the symbol of ramboston's family on it. Mablos only felt his eyes black. This ear, not Charles's, who would it be?

"Who sent it?" Asked mebloss, with a gloomy face.

The old housekeeper said in a trembling voice, "I heard a knock just now, so I went to open the door. There's this box outside the door with a note under it. As soon as I see the news from the young master, I will bring it in to you. "

"Did you see who put it?"

"No

Mebloss waved wearily and asked the old housekeeper to step back. He only knew that it was not easy, but anyway, Charles was his successor, and mablos would never let Charles have an accident.

Look at the time. It's more than an hour before 12 o'clock, which is only enough time for mablos to get to Gem Avenue. It seems that the other party is seizing the right time to send the threatening things. What they want is that mebloss has not made a comprehensive arrangement of time, and everything has to be done according to the other party's wishes.

"Stand by." Mebloss suddenly stood up and took out a revolver decorated with exquisite patterns from under his desk. After loading a few bullets, mablos strode out of the study.

In the middle of the night, gemstone Avenue is as silent as ghost land. This is a warehouse area on the outskirts of asgart. To meblos' surprise, warehouse 7 is still owned by the lamberston family. The other party even chose to meet him on the spot, which shows that the other party is very confident in his own strength, which makes mebloss dare not act rashly.

The car stopped in front of warehouse 7, and the new guard chief, Bernie, said to mebloss, "Sir, I'll go in with you."

Mebloss shook his head. He would not have refused the offer if Borden were still there. But the other side can quietly capture Charles, and Charles's strength is not enough to see Baini. It's better to go in alone and act according to the situation than to take Bernie in and offend each other.

"You stay outside. If anything happens to me, I'll go to Lord Austin and tell him about tonight. " With that, mablos pushed the door and got off.

He took his hand and went to the gate of warehouse 7. The door has already been opened, and inside it is a dark world. Mebloss kept walking, straight into the warehouse, the mobile door closed automatically. The next moment, there was a strong light on his head. For a moment, mablos felt very sick. When he got used to it, mablos saw his son Charles.

The warehouse had been cleared out of a clean open space, and Charles was tied to a chair, bloodstained, facing the gate. When he saw mebloss, he was very excited, but his mouth was stuffed with cloth, but he could only make a whine sound.

On Charles' left and right stood a man, one dressed as a cowboy. Leather jacket, jeans, pointed shoes, wearing a cowboy hat covered the upper half of the face, only showing a chin full of Hu dregs. And a smile on my mouth.

The man held his chest in his hands, giving him the feeling that he didn't care about anything. But he gave mebloss a very dangerous feeling, as if he would be killed at any time.

As for the other man, mablos knew him. He said in a deep voice, "Braden, why are you? My dear brothe
