After Li Lin said "the meeting begins", the room fell into silence.
The alchemy barons were not fools. They all saw that Hilco seemed to be secretly led by Li Lin, and this meeting would also be held around him.
Especially Middenstock, Spender and Adrian, who had only seen Li Lin in the newspaper and didn't know much about him, were even more surprised.
The atmosphere was tense for a long time. In the whole room, only Li Lin stretched out his hand and knocked on the long conference table continuously, as if it was a heavy blow, knocking on everyone's heart.
Except for Hilco and Lanner, everyone else became anxious.
Since you convened a meeting of Alchemy Barons and waited until we arrived without saying anything, are you kidding us?
This was the thought that came to the minds of the grumpy Spender and Adrian at the same time.
Just when Spender was about to explode, Renni, who was sitting opposite him, broke the silence first: "Where's Bonnie? Why hasn't she come yet?"
She looked up at Li Lin and Xierko, her voice trembling.
The people of Zaun would never have dreamed that the Alchemist Baron, who was so glorious and arrogant in front of them, would have such a terrifying side.
"Yes, Bonnie is usually very punctual, she shouldn't be late." Longfellow also said worriedly.
"Could there be some kind of accident? I heard there was an explosion at the intersection of the middle square and the trench last night, and many refugees poured into the dance corridor overnight."
The Yodel Barritt raised his eyebrows and turned to look at the side of the long table. "Hilko..."
Barritt had just read out Hilco's name when he was interrupted, "Bonnie can't come."
Hilko's tone was very cold.
When he mentioned Bonnie, it was as if he had never known this person.
Renni, Longfellow, and Barritt couldn't help but frown at the same time, not understanding what Hilco wanted to express.
"Did something happen to her?" Rennie, who had the best relationship with Bonnie than with Longfellow and Barritt, asked anxiously.
"Oh~~ Maybe you haven't heard about it?" Hilco said in a surprised tone, as if they should have known about it.
Then he leaned forward, resting his elbows on the table, and put his hands to cover his face.
"That traitor should be being put on a flight to the Sea of Watch by my men now... Maybe she can go say hello to the Manta tonight."
Upon hearing this, Renni, Longfellow and Barritt were stunned, even Spender and Adrian had a look of astonishment.
No matter how weak he is, he is still an Alchemy Baron!
She still has a certain strength in Zaun, but...
Was he dealt with by Hilco?
Middenstock seemed to realize something and his expression suddenly changed.
Fortunately, Renni's next question attracted the attention of the alchemy barons, and no one paid attention to him.
"Why... I don't understand, Hilco. Bonnie usually listens to you so much, and we're brothers and sisters who've been through thick and thin together. Why are you..."
Being questioned by Renni, Xierke's face turned cold and he chuckled, "Brothers and sisters who have been through thick and thin together? And then betrayed me and defected to Gorask?"
“…”
The conference room fell into silence again.
Everyone is aware of the tit-for-tat between Hilco and Renata.
However, since they had joined forces with Hilco, even if they were dissatisfied with his practices in some aspects, they had never thought of teaming up with Renata.
Besides, Hilco had once told them that he had evidence of Renata's crime and would soon be able to send her to Jingshui Prison.
Although several months have passed, Hilco has not yet fulfilled his promise.
But none of them were foolish enough to surrender to Renata, except Baron Middenstock.
Bonnie's sudden rebellion was unexpected to everyone.
"This is impossible..." Ren Ni muttered absentmindedly upon hearing that her best friend had betrayed her.
"Bonnie has never met Renata... Are you mistaken, Hilco?" Barritt said sharply.
Longfellow remained silent, his face quite solemn, as if he had expected this.
"Let Li Lin answer this question for you."
After all, this involved sisters with whom he had fought before, so Hilco didn't want to explain too much.
Everyone's attention was focused on Li Lin, who was eating melons and watching the show.
"Ahem..." Li Lin cleared his throat. "Today, I found Renata hiding in Bonny's ballroom. I called the law enforcement officer to arrest her."
“…”
Li Lin's words caused the conference hall to fall silent for the third time.
A chem-baron so powerful in Zaun was arrested just like that...
Middenstock pinched himself secretly and grimaced in pain.
It seems that this is not a dream.
Renni pursed her lips, hesitated for a long time, and said unconfidently: "But this doesn't mean that Bonnie has betrayed me..."
Before she could finish her words, Longfellow, who was beside her, poked her hard and warned her with a serious look.
Hilco has been looking for Renata recently and finally found her in Bonnie's dance hall.
In any case, the charge of treason has been confirmed and cannot be reversed.
Renni has been speaking for Bonnie at this critical moment. Regardless of their relationship, it is certain that this has caused dissatisfaction and even suspicion from Hilco.
To rule Zaun, Hilko relied not only on his wisdom but also on his cold-blooded iron fist.
Even if they are brothers or sisters, as long as he thinks they have betrayed him, he will dare to take action even against Vandel, who was once as close as a brother.
