Chapter 355 – Night Dinner (1)
Twelve Sovereigns' Halls, Ben's office. Outside the window, the Asgard's Sky Curtain had already simulated a sapphire blue night sky based on the central brain's calculations. The glittering stars filled the sky, forming a magnificent river.
Ben shook the red wine in his arms and looked thoughtfully at the sky.
With a “ding” sound from the elevator, Callio who was dressed in his military uniform walked in with big strides while chewing on a cigar: “Old man, are you still here? Sol and the others are looking for you everywhere, it is about time to go to the Great Hall. The celebration is about to begin, and you still have to go and host the firework activation ceremony. ”
Callio's voice was loud, like a series of gunshots. He shook his head and laughed, “Old friend, do you think our bodies and brains have become dull after our peace for so long? We have forgotten the cruelty of war, so we use the beautiful illusion to numb ourselves? ”
Callio frowned: “Don't talk to me like a poet. What's wrong with you? Why do you suddenly have so many thoughts? ”
“The bystanders that were returning were attacked.” Ben turned and said lightly.
Callio's expression changed, he took down the cigar in his mouth and asked: Who did it?
“I asked Zero. The ones attacking them are just small fries. They should be testing their strength.”
“Could it be Ogg's men?”
Ben shook his head. “I don't think so. If it was Ogg, he would have been close enough to send out a high-ranking Blood Cavalry strike.” You should know him. Og never does anything superfluous. For example, if we were to test this method, he would be disdainful, and would not try to do so. ”
Callio clenched his fist, and then loosened his grip, causing the cigar to turn into ash. “I got it, what you mean is, the people who attacked Zero were from Asgard. Who could it be? Herben's family? Black Rose Home or the Planning Family? ”
Ben sat on the big chair and shook his head. “It's not like Three Wealthy Cla.s.ses, because there's no reason. Even if they did great work this time, getting promoted to Holy Spirit according to the plans would not affect them. Moreover, warriors with military merits like Ling Chen and Ling Xiaozui were the targets for them to recruit. To them, a.s.sa.s.sinating a zero is a hundred times more harmful than doing nothing. ”
“Only the members of our military are left?” “But the rest of us …” Callio hesitated.
“I still remember the last time that Ling Chen and the others graduated and were sent over, but we didn't notice anything. And that false order from headquarters? ” Ben's eyes flashed with a cold light. “That's why we're all old, you know, and that old fellow Paulo. We're all getting slow. Of course there's no problem with the rest of us, but the problem is that there's not only you guys at the headquarters, there's also a group of young people active. ”
Callio's expression changed, and he cried out involuntarily: “You suspect Sol and the others? “But they…”
“I've lived in the Asgard since I was young. I know, but old friends, people change. Moreover, young people were p.r.o.ne to impulsiveness. If you are impulsive, you will inevitably do something wrong. ” Ben rotated a golden ring on his index finger and said faintly, “Amongst the few of them, the only one that we can trust right now is that child Valkyrie. As for the others, old friend, you will investigate them for me. “No matter who it is, let me know that they have done something wrong and I will teach them a lesson that will be hard to remember for the rest of their lives!”
Callio lowered his head. But Callio knew, that this Hall of Heroic Spirits's founder was not a bad old man. Back then during the great battle, he was not as lively on the battlefield as Callio and Paulo were. However, he, who was in charge of the battle from the rear, was the opponent that Ogrellok feared the most.
When he gave the order to investigate his adopted son, Callio seemed to have seen his former comrade called “Falcon” come to life.
While the dark clouds were surging in the Twelve Sovereigns' Halls, Zero was busy in the apartment. Although it had not been announced yet, but before he and the others came back, he had already decided to advance from warrior to Holy Spirit.
In Asgard, he was already a member of the upper middle cla.s.s. This meant that Zero could own a piece of the Asgard's territory and could set up his own personal guard. His rights and interests would be protected by the laws of the Asgard and he would have the right to kill other commoners.
The most obvious benefit of advancement was that Hammer of Destruction's small dorm room was replaced with a three-storey apartment, which had two maids inside.
This was the first real house of Zero in Asgard, and it retained its personal rights while Zero was still alive. Until Zero Nature dies of old age or war, the Asgard will take back this apartment and hand it over to the second person who is qualified to live here.
After Zero was sent to the apartment, he was urged to change his clothes and take a bath. Tonight, he and the others would be partic.i.p.ating in the Asgard's High Cla.s.s Night Banquet. From his attire to his etiquette, he was not allowed to be careless. For this, was ordered to prepare everything for zero.
Therefore, Valkyrie called over an old man and a woman. The old man was an expert in etiquette. He was responsible for designing all the etiquette gestures and expressions that Zero could use tonight. The woman, on the other hand, was a master tailor. She directly brought a set of formal attire for Zero, and was prepared to use this set of etiquette as a model after taking a bath.
As for himself, he was currently being bathed by two young and pretty maids.
Zero wasn't used to people wiping their bodies when they even bathed, especially when the two girls were naked. He couldn't help but come into physical contact with her, making the two girls' hearts beat faster.
As zero maids, if Zero wanted them, they had no right to fight back. Or perhaps, to someone as young and powerful as Zero, they had no intention of resisting. If Zero was happy and let them become the mistress of this apartment, then they could say goodbye to their status as slaves and at least have the rights to be free people.
This was the fate of those without the ability. The appearance of those with the ability to do so cruelly widened the distance between cla.s.ses. Under the power of the capable, ordinary people did not have any so-called democracy. Even if they did, it was because of the charity of the capable.
Just like now, the two girls not only carefully wiped away Zero's body, but they also accidentally touched it with their young body. Of course, it was impossible for Zero to spend his time on them. But after the party, he still had a lot of time, didn't he?
Under such enticing hara.s.sment, when Zero returned to the bedroom in his bathrobe, the tent was still raised, causing the tailor to whistle. This was even more unbearable than letting Zero to face Yimir. What made Zero more uncomfortable was that the old lady glared at him and said, “Take off your bathrobe!”
Zero immediately opened his eyes wide. He was even a little angry.
The old woman said disdainfully, “Hurry up, child. We are in a hurry. “Besides, you guys only have that thing that's special. Do you think I, Youlan, have seen too little of it?”
Upon hearing these words, Zero immediately became breathless. He took off his bathrobe, revealing a perfect body that could make a woman scream.
