Chapter 76 It’s not the Grand Duke at all! (Sixth update)
The Emperor of the Empire is coming.
The people in the Republic of York never imagined that such a thing would happen.
At this time, York was in great turmoil.
Being at the core of the vortex, Andy, the person involved, seems to be sitting on the Diaoyutai, as if he is out of it and is completely unaware of the storms in the outside world.
But the situation outside is deteriorating.
The manhunt for the York royal family intensified.
After it started, it seemed as if they didn't want to stop. More and more people were arrested, and the noise became louder and louder.
During this period, the branch bases of the anti-bandit organization all over the country were wiped out one after another. More than 20 extraordinary families related to the organization had their entire families sent to prison.
The Kozia family, where Sister Lily lived, escaped the disaster.
Soon afterward, the "royal family" of the neighboring country sent a special envoy to York to meet with the current head of the York family and put forward various conditions, which made the other party furious.
This makes the situation somewhat special.
Because some outsiders began to oppose this large-scale manhunt, either openly or covertly, by erasing clues or helping the rebels escape pursuit.
It was originally a two-way game between the rebels and the royal family, but because of Sister Lily, it turned into a three-way "melee".
The situation is even more serious at sea.
The royal family already knew that the rebels' headquarters was somewhere in the sea, so they deployed a large number of manpower to search.
However, no matter whether they used mundane helicopters and speedboats or various extraordinary abilities, the search operation never made any progress.
On the one hand, the island is indeed good at hiding and can move.
On the other hand, the difficulty of searching the royal family has increased dramatically due to the constant misleading and sabotage by external forces.
The anomalies caused attracted the attention of more forces.
As a mainstream religion in Africa, voodoo members began to quietly send people to gather in the surrounding areas.
Father Matthew, who was willing to be a pawn, with the help of his childhood teacher, not only exchanged the formal contract that the rebels had prepared for a long time, but also broke away from the control of the rebels and went to a military base in the Pacific.
Although he did not meet the legendary Duke of Anjou, he was already satisfied to be personally received by the Duke's deputy.
Then he stayed in the "extremely safe" military base, watching the ups and downs in York, silently looking forward to the next harvest moment...
As the time to return home approaches, the situation becomes increasingly chaotic.
People died every day, and the related torture created countless cruel and dark events.
But when there were still three days left before the date set by the Crown Prince's teacher to return home.
All this changed quietly.
The York royal family began to secretly negotiate with the rebel organization using certain rebel members whom they deliberately left outside.
The process was not smooth.
On the one hand, because of the heavy losses they suffered, the rebels demanded exorbitant amounts of money.
On the other hand, the royal family was naturally filled with anger and resentment at being forced into compromising with such lowly people as the traitors.
However, after two days of negotiations, the two sides finally reached a result that was "satisfactory" to both sides.
With the existence of a special contract, each party's interests can be protected.
This matter seems to have come to an end.
Some people were very disappointed, some were satisfied, and a small number of people were watching in secret, ready to start making trouble...
It was under these circumstances that Andy left the island, like a prop, being supervised and escorted to his destination.
Because they were afraid that he would change his mind midway, the team included not only extraordinary people, but also many innocent women and children, and some people who once had a good relationship with him.
Andy didn't care about this.
Because his request was achieved silently during this period -
What surprised many people was that the York family did not take the request to conduct a formal transaction in the family cemetery seriously at all!
"People in the Far East are used to respecting their ancestors, and the best place to do business with them is in their ancestral temples."
In a magnificent hot spring pool, three fat men are taking a bath.
One of them was a fat man with snow-white eyebrows and a few age spots on his bald head. He was slumped on the edge of the hot spring.
While eating grapes handed to him by the maid with a big belly, he talked about his past experiences in a vague tone.
It seemed as if the conditions of the transaction in the cemetery made him sigh.
"When I was a bounty hunter in the Federation, I loved taking orders from immigrants from the Far East. As long as I did business with them at their ancestral temples, I could get the bounty exactly."
"Unlike those white-skinned ghosts, who always talk about the spirit of the contract, but actually always try to find loopholes. Their methods are surprisingly vicious and it is impossible to guard against them."
Members of the York family are actually white-skinned.
It's just that due to the climate and environment in Africa, they are often tanned brown.
But there is no such thing as white people being noble in this world, so the contemporary head of York family is very rude when he belittles certain people.
This attitude is very subtle.
Because today is the day when the transaction officially begins, both parties have even begun to hand over their personnel in the cemetery.
But judging from the words and expression of the fat old man, there was no sign of annoyance or anger caused by being threatened to make a deal.
It was as if it was just an ordinary and simple exchange of interests.
However, a young fat man sitting opposite him had an absent-minded look on his face while listening to the old fat man's nagging.
"It's all thanks to you, Grandfather, for planning ahead. Otherwise, I don't know how big a mess my second brother would have caused this time."
The last fat man present took advantage of the lull in the old fat man's speech and spoke in a flattering manner.
The "Second Young Master" who was not far away immediately looked over with an annoyed look.
"You youngsters are always surprised by what you have never seen before."
The fat old man ignored the divisive words.
After hearing this, he said nonchalantly: "If I was afraid that someone would snatch my place as a direct disciple, how could I spread this news?"
Did Grandfather spread this news? When these words came out, the two young fat men were stunned for a moment, and then looked at the grandfather in surprise, with confusion and puzzlement on their faces.
Moreover, aren’t they afraid of being robbed? If they are not afraid of being robbed, why are they so angry during this period, and even give up a lot of profits under the threat of those gutter rats? “This is actually a sign of weakness.”
Seeing his two grandsons looking so stupid, the old fat man felt proud inside, but his tone was full of sighs.
"We, the York family, may not have the ability, but our style is eye-catching."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"Especially, if I get the spot as a direct disciple, it's hard to say how much attention I will get."
"So, those rebels may look annoying, but they actually help us a lot."
"Otherwise, if we take all the benefits, how many people will be jealous?"
"Now, look at what those people outside are saying about us."
"Incompetent, useless, I was bullied by the common people and had to give up a lot of my interests. I am so cowardly... Hehe, well said. I like being useless the most."
Apparently, the old fat man not only didn't care about the threat, but was actually very happy...
His words left the two young fat men stunned for a long time, unable to recover for a long time.
Although I don’t understand the specific meaning of the words, I always feel that my grandfather’s plan must be very powerful.
So they all showed an expression of admiration.
However, just as they were about to open their mouths to flatter him and humbly ask their grandfather for some life lessons.
Outside the hot spring pool, there was a sudden rumbling sound!
Along with that, the surrounding buildings began to shake violently, as if there was an earthquake! "What's going on?"
The two young fat men were startled.
Then they were about to call the servant to ask, but they found that the old grandfather, who had been complacent and didn't care about the damage to his own interests, suddenly stood up.
Turning his head to look in a certain direction outside, his eyes were dull, and his face, which was rosy from taking a bath, inexplicably turned pale.
"This, this, this, how is this possible?!"
He didn't know what he had discovered, his voice trembled and his expression was terrified, as if a disaster was about to happen.
The two grandsons looked at each other in confusion.
…
The two fat men of the York family were not the only ones who were confused.
Everyone in the York family, as well as the entire York Republic, the entire North Africa, and even the entire Africa, all felt the drastic changes in the surrounding environment with a confused look on their faces.
Because the shock was not limited to the York family's territory, but spread throughout the continent! Then, what surprised everyone even more was that the sky above their heads suddenly changed from clear to cloudy!
Those large amounts of dark clouds that seemed to have gathered from the sky were like a black curtain that quickly turned dark and heavy after it appeared.
When the tiny humans on the surface looked up, it felt like the sky was collapsing! "Is the end of the world coming?"
Although it was scary, there was no sense of danger. After the initial surprise, ordinary people became curious.
Most of the extraordinary people hidden deep in the secular world have never seen such a scene.
Although they sensed a dangerous aura, they were mostly just pointing fingers and joining in the fun, not thinking that this change would affect them.
After all, ever since they can remember, their perception of this world has always been "safe".
The same atmosphere existed in the imperial palace far away on the moon.
A maid walking, a minister working, a prince studying, a teacher teaching...
People here can see that on the huge blue planet "not far away" in the field of vision, a large area is rapidly turning black, just like white paper stained with ink.
But no one can tell what exactly happened.
Because this phenomenon has never occurred before...
In the entire palace, only a small number of people were stunned for a moment, then horrified.
An old man with a white beard who was reading a book in the library was so frightened when he saw the changes in the blue planet "outside the window" that he dropped the book in his hand to the ground!
“This is, this is…”
While muttering to himself, the old man suddenly shuddered, and then ran towards the emperor with a look of horror on his face! The location was in Africa, and he immediately thought of the devil archduke mentioned by the emperor not long ago.
However, looking at this scene, this is not some great duke? This is a demon king! The demon king has already appeared in the world!
There are only seven demon kings in hell, and each of them represents a disaster! A world-class disaster!
