Chapter 54 1 Everything... Makes Sense!
go home for dinner?
Monty Kate was a little stunned when she heard the old housekeeper's words.
Because today is not the day for family gatherings.
But Monty Kate wouldn't disobey, because he knew very well how unequivocal his father was.
For his father, Monty Kate both respects and fears.
Perhaps, he has now become the mayor of Angcheng.
But he knew how he became the mayor of Angcheng.
It was assigned by his father.
Just as his three brothers entered the upper house of the empire, they were all arranged by his father.
Of course, his father's arrangements were far more than that.
Of the 133 seats in the Upper House of the Empire, the Kate family occupies 13 seats, and the House of Commons occupies 23 of the 233 seats. Simply put, in the core position of the Empire, the Kate family has one-tenth of the right to speak.
This does not count the commercial and military forces that extend from this.
In the military, at least two generals with real power are also from the Kate family, not the direct line and the branch, but pseudonyms.
This is also the arrangement of his father.
The family needs a prime minister!
These are the words his father said at the last family gathering.
However, Monty Kate knew that this Prime Minister would not be him, but his elder brother.
In this regard, Monty Kate has no dissatisfaction.
He is very clear that his ability is not comparable to that of his elder brother.
I also like my hometown, Angcheng.
That's right, the Kate family is from Angcheng!
In the old century, it moved to Angcheng.
If you insist on saying that there is any inheritance family in Angcheng...it must be the Kate family.
so,
Monty Kate scoffed at 'Hydra' and 'Night Owl Court'.
What the Angcheng Millennium Organization.
An organization that secretly controls everything in Ang City.
In his view, it was simply impossible.
Even if there is, it should be their Kate family.
"Go back to the old house."
Monty Kate, who had put on his coat, got into the car and instructed the driver.
"Okay, sir."
The driver is also from the family and is called according to family habits.
The car shuttled through the city of Ang, looking at the familiar city, Monty Kate narrowed his eyes comfortably.
He didn't have much ideals, he only hoped that Ang City would be more stable and prosperous.
This is what he has always thought and insisted on.
The car left the city and entered the original territory of the Kate family.
In fact, if you have to say it, the current Ang City is also the territory of the Kate family.
Turning into the path, Monty Kate's squinted eyes suddenly widened.
He saw several cars listening at the end.
It was the car of the Angcheng military camp.
Why do military vehicles appear?
You must know that, as the hometown of the Kate family, Angcheng, the power of the military has always been out of control.
It's not that I don't want to, it's that I can't.
His father knew exactly what to do and what not to do.
Eddie Munter knew it too.
In the military system of the Empire, it is one thing to secretly place chess pieces.
But it does not mean that Ang Cheng can be completely become the Kate family.
The Prime Minister is no fool.
The former knows that the other party only turns one eye and closes one eye, while the latter?
Once that happens, it's a real fight.
Thinking of this, Monty Kate's face became serious.
For the first time, he found that things were not easy.
And as he crossed the road where he could only walk and entered the birthplace of the family, this feeling became stronger and stronger.
Not just the extra guards, but the faint excitement on everyone's faces.
He knew who the people guarding his family and his father were.
These people are usually no different from machines.
At this moment, an expression appeared.
What exactly happened?
With such doubts, Mundy Kate quickened her pace.
Walking through the long corridor, he saw the old butler.
"Butler Dahl."
Monty Kate saluted respectfully.
For the old man who has always been by his father's side, Monty Kate has never been rude, because he knows very well what this squatted old man has done for the family.
"Master Mundy, wait a moment."
"Master is seeing some of the main guests."
The old butler said with a smile.
Seeing such a smile, Monty Kate was stunned for a moment, and then nodded again and again.
And the doubts in his heart became more intense.
What made the old butler so happy?
However, he didn't ask. Since the old housekeeper said to wait, he just waited for a while.
The waiting time is not long, about ten minutes or so.
The door opened from the inside.
A man in a military uniform came out.
The man is middle-aged, with a strong body, tough and rough face, and he walks and stands with a unique atmosphere of a soldier.
The other party, Monty Kate is very familiar.
Kyle, the supreme commander of the Angcheng Barracks.
"Hello, Colonel Kyle."
Monty Kate said with a smile.
"Hello, Mundy."
The middle-aged man responded with a smile.
Such a response frightened Monty Kate.
As the supreme commander of the Angcheng military camp, the meaning of Kyle's existence is to monitor the every move of the Angcheng Kate family.
Naturally, the relationship between the two parties cannot be good.
Not even a basic cover-up.
Mundy Kate's greeting was purely out of etiquette, and she didn't expect the other party to respond at all, let alone use the name Mundy intimately.
"Steward Dahl, this..."
Mundy Kate turned to look at the old housekeeper subconsciously.
The old butler smiled and nodded, and pointed to the inside. Kyle stepped aside and let Mundy Kate see what was inside.
His father sat there, smiling.
There were three old men sitting opposite.
One with a long sword and a thin face.
One has a round face and a fat body.
One with a scar on his face and a sturdy figure.
The one with the long sword and the round face, Mondy Kate didn't know, but the old man with the scar on his face, Mundy Kate knew, and had cooperated with each other several times.
The president of the Angcheng Bounty Hunter Association, Dybala.
The other party's impatience is simply unreasonable, and the other party's strong strength left a deep impression on him.
Monty Kate still recognizes the image of a car being lifted above his head and smashed into the enemy.
Did the father know each other?
Seeing the other party's peaceful and smiling appearance, Mondy Kate couldn't react.
"Mondy, come here."
Io Kate said.
"Yes, father."
Mundy Kate responded, and then saluted the three guests.
"Dybala, you've seen it."
"This is it, Shiba."
"This is, Avent."
"They are all my friends."
Io Kate introduced his friend.
"Hello."
As a junior, Monty Kate bowed and saluted.
But his waist bowed down, but Monty Kate froze in mid-air. He raised his head blankly and looked at the round-faced, chubby old man, and then looked at his father.
"Shiba?"
"Xiba, president of the Angcheng Killer Guild?"
Monty Kate's voice stuttered and repeated.
Then, he subconsciously looked at Dybala again.
The leaders of the Bounty Guild and the Killer Guild would sit together so peacefully?
Doesn't it mean that the two sides are mortal enemies?
How is this going?
Is it...
Father has unwittingly ruled Angcheng? !
Monty Kate thought instinctively.
He is the mayor of Ang.
Kyle is the supreme commander of the Angcheng barracks.
Dybala is the president of the Bounty Hunters Guild.
Shiba is the president of the Killer Guild.
There is only one Chamber of Commerce president missing, and nearly all the power representatives in Angcheng are gathered here.
wrong!
There is one more!
Subconsciously, Monty Kate looked at Avante.
"Don't look at me, I have nothing to do with the Chamber of Commerce."
Avante, who is not stupid, understood the meaning in Monty Kate's eyes, and said with a smile.
call!
Inexplicably, Monty Kate heaved a sigh of relief.
so far so good.
Not all.
Just when Mundy Kate was rejoicing in his heart, the trade union leader of the Killer Guild said with a smile: "That junior De'ang is not qualified to sit with us."
De Ang, President of Ang City Chamber of Commerce.
Hearing this sentence, Monty Kate stared at his father with wide eyes.
"You, are you going to make Angcheng independent?"
Monty Kate stammered.
Apart from this, Mundy Kate couldn't think of anything else.
He wanted to persuade his father to consider the whole city of Ang.
Such an irrational approach will only cause the entire Ang City to suffer from war.
But he didn't speak.
Because he knew very well that since his father had arranged such a big game of chess without anyone noticing, he obviously had everything in mind.
His persuasion was useless.
As for his brother?
It's even more useless!
Even with his own father.
Yes, cooperate!
Maybe……
Father's eyes are no longer in Angcheng, but the entire empire!
Thinking of this, Monty Kate trembled all over.
He seemed to have seen the corpses lying everywhere, with the appearance of rivers of blood.
"Father……"
"Mondy, it's time to tell you something."
Monty Kate gritted her teeth and was about to persuade her father, but was interrupted by her father. The old housekeeper who was standing by the side came over with several servants.
Each held a black, folded cloak in his hands.
Io Kate took the cloak and shook it.
Snapped!
With the crisp sound of the cloth, the old man who was supposed to be trembling straightened up and put the cloak on his body.
Dybala and Shiba are like that.
Except for Avent, who was already wearing a cloak, the three old men put on their cloaks and moved slightly to stand behind Avent.
Then……
In the hands of the four, a mask appeared one after another.
The mask was very peculiar, it was white overall, the eyes were deep-set black, and the bridge of the nose was raised, like a slightly abstract face of a night owl, which was unforgettable at first sight.
"I didn't expect that I could still wear it."
Dybala grinned.
"Of course, I firmly believe that I will wear it one day."
Shiba smiled.
Aio Kate was touching his own mask, and the breath on his body became more and more fierce, and bursts of mourning like a ghost began to appear beside the old man.
There was nostalgia on his face.
It's more of an expectation.
"'Sharp Claw' no.2, return to the 'Court'."
Io Kate said and put on a mask.
"'Sharp Claw' no.7, return to the 'Court'."
Dybala put on a mask.
"'Sharp Claw' no.9, return to the 'Court'."
Shiba also wore a mask.
Then, the three bowed to Avante with a strange etiquette and shouted in unison—
"Welcome back, 'Sharp Claw' no.1!"
court? !
Night Owl Mask? !
Monty Kate is not a fool. Looking at the scene in front of him, his eyes widened.
"Ye, Ye Xiao Court?!"
"You turned out to be Ye Xiao Court?"
"The Ye Xiao Court is actually real?"
His voice had already become trembling.
"Night Owl Court is of course true, otherwise, why is there a Kate family?"
"Our existence is because of the 'Night Owl Court'!"
"Also, remember!"
"It's not you, it's us!"
Aio Kate said in a serious tone.
"Yes, father."
Mundy Kate nodded immediately in the face of his father's seriousness.
Then, he saw the door behind him open.
The old housekeeper and Kyle were standing at the door wearing black cloaks. Through the opened door, he saw the corridor outside. A dense crowd of people wearing black cloaks gathered in front of the door without making a sound.
The old butler came over again holding a black cloak.
Mundy Kate looked at his father, looked around, raised his hand to take the cloak, and put it on his body.
And at the moment when the cloak was draped over his body, a wonderful feeling appeared in the bottom of Monty Kate's heart.
It turns out that the Kate family is a part of the 'Night Owl Court'.
And I... too.
As soon as such an idea appeared, Mundy Kate suddenly felt relieved.
Maybe that's not bad either?
...
Drop, drop!
In the single-family apartment, many machines around Emma suddenly hummed.
The nurses rushed over quickly.
Looking at Emma who was trembling continuously, she was completely at a loss.
The doctor who guaranteed Emma would wake up at dawn was already sweating profusely.
what happened?
Why isn't Miss Emma awake yet?
Shouldn't it be?
The doctor looked at the data nervously.
The more you look, the more terrified you are!
Because, all parameters are abnormal.
He knows the rules of the organization. He has already boasted to the deputy leader. If Miss Emma not only does not wake up, but also has an accident...
Thinking of this, the doctor shuddered.
Soon, however, the machines were back to normal again.
Emma didn't tremble anymore, and her breathing became steady.
After a careful examination, the doctor breathed a sigh of relief, and then——
"Blacklist me all the manufacturers of these machines!"
"Now, find me a new batch of more advanced machines."
After the doctor finished speaking, he walked to the side and called.
He wants to report before, not because he is not good at medicine, but because the machine is not good.
"Is Emma alright?"
Danvers asked worriedly.
"It's okay, everything will be fine."
"After all, Edmond is there."
Percy comforted Danvers.
Hearing Edmond's name, Danvers immediately felt relieved.
What they didn't know was that at this time, Edmond was looking at the news from the headquarters with a frown.
Overnight, the three special bases of the 'Asylum' were attacked by the 'Temple'.
The attack on the 'Temple' was targeted, and the base was easily breached.
Obviously, the 'Temple' has already known information that it should not have known.
Someone told the 'Temple' all this.
There is no need to guess this person, Edmond also knows that it is his former boss, Lawrence.
As for why the other party did it?
Edmond guessed it almost instantly.
Because of this, he would frown.
Leaning in the sofa chair, Edmond murmured in a low voice.
"This time the trouble is really big!"
