Chapter Five Hundred and Two: The Storm Comes

The Duke came to the door of the Platinum Hotel.

In my memory, there are usually many killers and bounty hunters who have not qualified for invitations in the square outside the door, waiting to receive orders.

Now there is no one, even the doorman at the gate of the Platinum Hotel is missing.

Through the revolving door, you can see the originally magnificent and brightly lit Platinum Hotel. The lights inside have been extinguished a lot, and the light is dim, like an old man who is dying.

The Duke entered the Platinum Hotel and looked at the person guarding the front desk. It was no longer the old acquaintance Manager Thomas, but a young waiter.

It is truly embarrassing that the Platinum Hotel, which used to be above the secular power and a symbol of power and strength, has turned into the current state of desolation.

Although the interior is still very clean, with the eyesight of the Duke's top bounty hunters, it has been a long time since outsiders have come here.

The waiter at the front desk was stunned when he saw Duke Nukem.

After Duke Nukem approached and asked to take the initiative, he finally recovered: "Lord Duke, wait a moment, I will contact the manager."

Three minutes later, Manager Thomas came downstairs with a look of surprise: "Why did you come to Shadu?"

The information of the Platinum Hotel is complete. The news of Duke Nukem's failure to ambush Link has already reached the hotel, and soon there is news of the civil unrest of the Wasteland Gang. Thomas, who single-handedly manipulated "borrowing a knife to kill", after negotiating with Derek, decided to keep a low profile during this time, so as not to be found by Link to any clues that could involve the Platinum Hotel.

This morning, Thomas got a big news that the Duke transferred to Dao Tuo and successfully made Dao Tuo the new owner of the Wasteland Gang. Combined with yesterday's undisguised dispatch of troops in Shadu, the war between the Wasteland Gang and Shadu was imminent.

Under such circumstances, the Duke left Essia and came to Sandu, which was indeed unexpected.

Thomas poured a cup of coffee for the Duke, and the two sat in the lounge area of ​​the hall and sighed nostalgically for a long time.

"Hey, people are different, who would have thought that the Platinum Hotel has become like this now." The manager Thomas' confident eyes showed a rare nostalgia. I remember when the Sandu Platinum Hotel was just established, it was so down and out, and finally, thanks to the efforts of him, Derek and John, he became famous and established his position.

"Tell me, what's the matter with you this time? You are the one who goes to the Three Treasures Hall for everything, and it's still at this time."

The Duke stared into Thomas' eyes and said word by word, "I want to cancel my status as a bounty hunter at the Platinum Hotel and wash my hands in a golden pot." The Duke took out an omniscient gold coin from his pocket, which was his pass when he entered the Platinum Hotel. certificate.

Thomas, who had seen so much in the world, was stunned for a moment. Obviously, the Duke's words had a great impact on him.

After being stunned for a while, he asked, "Why did you suddenly quit the Platinum Hotel?"

The Duke was silent for a moment: "It's inconvenient to say the reason, but I believe you will know it soon."

Thomas shrugged helplessly, took the omniscient gold coin handed over by the Duke, and tried to find a way to turn around: "Actually, it doesn't have to be so absolute, if you feel it is inconvenient, we can hide your points and ranking first, and then restart it later when it is convenient. on the list."

The Duke immediately rejected Thomas' suggestion: "Let's just delete it, I'll trouble Manager Thomas."

Thomas couldn't resist the Duke and sighed deeply.

The top three in the standings, Shanlin, Nightmare and Duke.

The Duke, one of the three major mountain ranges, now wants to separate from the Platinum Hotel and draw a line, which is definitely a major blow to the reputation of the Platinum Hotel.

Even the top facade has withdrawn, so what do other people think?

The Duke got up and bowed to Thomas: "Thank you for the care of Manager Thomas and Mr. Derek over the years,

We are destined to see you again. "

After the Duke left, Thomas clutched the omniscient gold coin and took the elevator to Derek's office.

Derek saw Thomas come in and adjusted his glasses: "Why, the duke left so quickly? Seeing that your face is not very good-looking, let me guess... Did the duke hand in the omniscient gold coin and decide to retire from the gold pot? Wash your hands and cut ties with the Platinum Hotel?"

Thomas was stunned for a moment: "You all know?"

"Guess." Derek picked up a document on the table and handed it to Thomas: "This is the latest news I just received, take a look."

Thomas picked up the papers on the desk, and after a moment his eyes widened, his fists clenched and rattled.

"Esia, which is controlled by Dao Tuo and the duke, will be returned to Sandu, and Sandu will be responsible for the reconstruction of Essia. Dao Tuo will serve as the first district head of the 'Esia Autonomous Region', and his son Duke will serve as the 'Commander of the Esia Army' and will also serve as Shadu. A member of the Military Commission..."

Thomas put down the document and couldn't help sneering: "So this is the reason why the Duke desperately wanted to leave the Platinum Hotel. He got on Link's thigh, has a father of the district chief, and also entered the Shadu Military Committee. This is because the Platinum Hotel is not as good as Shadu, change a big tree to enjoy the shade..."

Derek helped his glasses, and now Sandu has already sent out the news first, the Duke is already the official person of Sandu, and Sandu's current territory covers the entire western continent, and the power has leapt to dominate the Free Federation. In this case, everyone is waiting for Platinum Hotel's response.

Not long after the last most wanted order was issued, Link transformed himself into the king of the Sand Capital, and successively conquered the two major forces of the Mechanic City and the Wasteland Gang, becoming the desert emperor that everyone praised. In this case, the most wanted order issued by the Platinum Hotel not only failed to demonstrate the "rules" of the Platinum Hotel, but became a joke. He didn't dare to take a breath in the sand, for fear of being missed by Link.

Now, Link has seized the opportunity to announce the Duke's surrender, and this explosive news will definitely spread throughout the waste Saturn at the fastest speed.

At that time, the Platinum Hotel will be the party to be grilled.

How to respond, or continue to play dead.

Thomas was silent for a moment, watching Derek keep touching the bridge of his nose.

Once Derek has this action, it means that he has the intention to kill.

"Sir, what do you mean..."

Derek's glasses flickered with a gleam of light, and he crossed his hands under his nose, thinking silently.

"If Essia completely surrenders to Sandu, what do you think the people in the academy will think?"

Thomas and Derek have worked together for 20 years, and they often say a word to extend what is not said later.

"Manager, do you want to..."

"This will be our last chance."

The eyes of the two met, their eyes full of determination.

The Duke walked out of the Platinum Hotel and glanced back at this place that was once full of his own glory. The past events were churning in the ocean of memory.

From now on, there will be no top bounty hunter dukes at the Platinum Hotel, only the commander of the Isiah Military Department and members of the Sandu Military Commission.

Then, the Duke took a deep breath—

He left without looking back.

Walking out of the Shadow Alley, perhaps it was a delivery with the past self, and the Duke felt that the pressure on him was much lighter.

Sort out a relationship and start a new one.

Afterwards, the duke went to the hotel where he stayed in Shenmu City. The large-screen display on the road, or the business that sold TV, or the radio station in the car, were reporting a news at this moment-Esia's return.

The Duke murmured, "Thomas should know by now..."

Although the taxi window did not roll down, the Duke could still hear the lively discussions outside through the glass.

"Oh, why is it so fast, I haven't finished the banner yet~"

"We only sent troops out yesterday, and we have recovered the whole territory today. Speaking of the fact that Essia belonged to Sandu before, it must have been forty-three years before the day of reckoning. I didn't expect General Lin to take office less than a year, and he would give it all to him. Take it back."

"Quick, put up the banner and celebrate."

People ran to tell each other, with big smiles on their faces.

But there are also some Inhumans who have a strong desire to fight, sighing on the street, lamenting that they didn't get to the front line immediately, and they don't even have the qualifications to drink the northwest wind.

The duke soon returned to the hotel where Shenmu City was staying, and met with the staff sent by Aisia Dato.

These staff have heard the name of the duke, and after learning about the relationship between Tuo and the duke, they are more respectful to the young master.

After listening to the reports and requests from his subordinates, the Duke expressed his satisfaction with the work of the subordinates of these district elders' cronies.

"Next, I'll wait for the official conferment meeting tomorrow. I won't go to the docking meeting with Sandu at night. You can just watch it." It's okay to let the duke's bounty kill someone. When it comes to the exchange of government affairs information, the duke will take the lead. Big deal.

Since the young master said it, these subordinates will naturally follow suit, and there is no reason for them not to obey.

After the staff left, the Duke rested on the seat.

After a while, a notification text message from Platinum Hotel appeared on the arm's integrated message ring screen.

The Duke opened the text message and read it to himself.

"We are very sorry to announce that the Duke of Saturn's first bounty hunter has announced his withdrawal from the Platinum Hotel. Thanks to the Duke's outstanding contributions to the Platinum Hotel over the years, we also sincerely hope that he can perform better after his withdrawal from the Platinum Hotel. And play. Wasteland 43 March 7, Derek, Platinum Hotel, Sandu."

The duke couldn't help laughing after reading it, and now the last piece of heart disease in his heart has completely settled down.

Link couldn't repay him for his guidance and help. Now that he has surrendered to Shadu and sorted out his relationship with the Platinum Hotel is the best choice to prove his loyalty.

All members of the Abandoned Saturn Platinum Hotel received this message on their mobile phones.

When members saw the news for the first time, their first reaction was astonishment.

As one of the three major mountains of the Platinum Hotel and the first bounty hunter, the Duke suddenly quit the Platinum Hotel.

This explosive news caused an uproar among the bounty hunters and killers of the waste Saturn.

Some people who were closer to Shadu had just learned that Shadu had recovered Essia more than ten minutes ago. As the son of Dao Tuo, the young master of the force, the duke arrived in Shadu to be crowned. The reason for withdrawing from the Platinum Hotel was because of the vengeful relationship between Link and the Platinum Hotel. In order to avoid embarrassment, the Duke took the initiative to dissolve the relationship with the Platinum Hotel.

But far away, the news did not arrive in time, resulting in poor information.

When the news of Sandu's recovery of Essia gradually arrives, they will realize how terrifying the superposition of the two news is.

If you calculate carefully, you will find that Sandu's current lineup is extremely luxurious.

The legendary killer of Saturn, John, lives in seclusion in Shadu, not to mention. In the battle of the Mechanic God, Link also obtained John's clone Silver Hand. Although he is not sure whether his strength is on the same level as John's, he also won 80% of John's power. A true biography can be regarded as a quasi-legendary.

Secondly, Li Ziqian, the new chief of staff of the Shadu Army, is known as the King of Soldiers in Shadu. In the new generation of talent can be regarded as a leader. There is no doubt about his personal strength, which is an extremely powerful part of Shadu's combat power.

The new boss of the Hidden Alliance, Count Simon, showed his powerful strength in the blood clan feast, and has been widely circulated in the blood clan circle, shocking some old blood clans who have lived for hundreds of years.

In addition, the strength of the four kings of the original Moros, the star, the mad lion and the yellow spring, is also exceptionally strong.

The newly formed monster security company, the leaders and leaders sent to various places, are also very strong, and people cannot be despised.

And that doesn't include Link's terrifying pets.

After a little calculation, you will find that Link has a large number of top combat powers in his hands.

Now, the Duke, the three major mountain ranges of the Platinum Hotel, will be added to this lineup. The terror of the strength is evident, and the other two places of the Free Federation dare not take its edge.

Just when the Duke was alone in the room thinking and resting, he never imagined that he was being targeted at this moment.

Outside the window of the Duke's Hotel, Silver Hand and Macaw were clinging to the roof of the high-rise building, secretly observing the Duke.

"Come here, the Platinum Hotel has sent a message, and the Duke has completely separated from it." Macaw said excitedly, holding the mobile phone.

Silver Hand glanced at the text message, frowning tightly: "It's so friendly and we wish each other, so it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

"You don't understand. Link sent the news of the merger of Essia before the Platinum Hotel. He has already stated that the Duke will join and will give high officials and honors. At this time, everyone is waiting for the words of the Platinum Hotel. The Duke of one of the great mountain ranges turned against each other, which is no trivial matter. Last time, the most wanted for Link was issued, and it was nothing. Everyone can understand the joke. After all, Link is the emperor of the desert, and even with the power of the Platinum Hotel, he would not dare to Easy to do.

But this time was different. The Duke also surrendered to Link. If the Platinum Hotel still ignored him, it would be completely unreasonable. The Platinum Hotel has lost its dignity and will not be able to stand on the waste Saturn in the future. "

The macaw showed the text message again, and smiled: "Don't look at the gentle wind and drizzle in the text message of the Platinum Hotel now, one is different and the other is happy, but the actual undercurrent is surging, maybe there is something wrong with it! Trust me, to There will definitely be a surprise tonight!"

Silverhand thought for a moment, and felt that what the macaw had said made sense.

"Okay, Dad will believe you this time, I hope you don't let me down!"

The macaw grinned, patted Silver Hand on the shoulder, and his eyes were firm: "Be sure to trust Pabi."
