Chapter 1680: The Tentacle Spreads Out
Tang!
The sound of the token echoes inside the cove, echoing all over.
They all look at the token and some of them sighed and some of them nodded
And everyone knows what it means. The token is a positioning token.
It means he would go into seclusion. Probably finding some secluded island and hide himself until the world calms down again
It means he would follow the Red Table order to lay low. His token is his proof of allegiance. And someday, when the world is calm again, the Red Table would summon them again.
The other look at this and some of them nodded
Even though they did not say anything, they do seem to agree with what the other have said before
It is not time for them to divide themselves. Right now, they need to rest under the umbrella of the Red Table
This is no longer a battle for territory, for island and gold and fortune, but it is a battle for survival
The other look at each other nodded and get up from their seat. All of them throws their tokens on the stone table
The one with the golden hat and the white suit only nodded in understanding. This is the way they express their agreement
In just a few seconds, the room is now empty
there is only one person left in the room.
He look at the table and then he waves his hand and something appears. This is a map floating in the air.
And then this map unfurled itself showing the current map of the world, the Ten Seas is approximately described in the map and so is the current location of the Seven Great Powers
Most of the area in this map is not yet explored. There is too many lands, too many seas, too many new continents and it is impossible to map it all out in just a few months.
Not to mention the hidden things one might find when exploring this new world
"The world is waiting to be explored" he thought to himself.
He sighed and could not help but shakes his head.
"I could only try to trust that Trickster"
A person silhouette comes into his mind, offering him advice. He remembers how he meet with the Trickster.
And he never like that man.
Because he never see the true face of the Trickster.
The other people in the Red Table is also very wary in trusting the Trickster but right now, the Trickster seems to be since in helping them.
Of course, there must be some give and take between him and the Pirate Lords and the people on the Red Table
If not, how could Loki do anything for free?
Loki wanted help.
A favor for a favor.
He wanted to find someone.
Someone that is very different.
Alien.
Loki seems to believe that this person is on top of the travelling tavern on the sea.
That travelling tavern is on the back of a turtle.
It is not easy finding it.
With Kaiju and that trident, the Crime Alliance have the potential to subvert the world order.
And for that, they have to be beaten
But now, after they are being beaten, suddenly the world powers once again have to face Death Monarch. And this Death Monarch becomes even stronger.
Do all of them is really satisfied to always live in the hegemony of Death Monarch? Tod determine the fate of the world based on one person will
No man should have that much power and influence.
And so, even though the world power is hunting them, at the same time, they once again could establish relations with them
Because now, the Crime Alliance is weak again and requires the help of the world powers. The Three Great powers, Pandemonium, the World Government and the Republic might not need their help that much but the other four world powers would surely need their aid to do some things that they are not comfortable doing.
And there is also the Empire of Japan. With the formation of a new bloc of power, there is always business to find.
Greece also seems to be receptive to using the service of the Crime Alliance.
And even though Mister Moscow knows that the three great powers did not have to use the
Crime Alliance, this did not mean they would not use them
Business has never even booming this hard since the early years of the Fall.
There is a difference between needing to use and wanting to use. 'Boris, for example" he thought to himself, a smirk on the edge of his lips.
The Bratva is lying low. Boris and his sister once again gained power. But there is always a
chance for cooperation.
Because this time it is different from before.
Jean right now is the master of the Republic. The Senate is wholeheartedly simping for Jean to
take control of the Senate, pacify Europe and make sure that the Republic will be in peace for a
few years
And so, Boris would once again turns to the Bratva. There is already signs of these.
The Bratva hated Boris. There is bad blood between them
The Bratva was thrown to the curb by Boris when Boris become the Right Chancellor.
If anything, the Bratva would be cheering Boris downfall. But to survive, the Bratva would do
anything right now
Even if that means cooperating with an old enemy.
Boris is an ambitious person.
Even though his sister has persuaded him to let go of the title and to forget everything that
had happened, let bygones be bygones, but those who knows Boris in the Bratva knows that
Boris is not that kind of person.
He is vindictive.
And he never forget a slight.
There is a bit of villainy in him. And if he wanted to gain power again, he could no longer use
the legitimate sources.
Death Monarch had made it clear. No more war. No more instability. The moment Boris
misbehaves, Death Monarch would put him in detention.
