Chapter 283 New Year

"five four three two one……"

On TV, there was a rare late-night live broadcast.

In this era when technology is not yet developed enough, live broadcasting involves a lot of troublesome procedures and costs a lot of money. Under normal circumstances, TV stations will not be so wasteful.

But today was not a so-called ordinary occasion.

On the stage of the TV station, everyone was counting down together.

"Happy New Year!"

Today is December 31st, or January 1st of the new year.

"Happy New Year, Annan."

Stargazer Munch. Wright raised the wine glass in his hand and congratulated with a smile.

"Happy New Year, it's a new year."

Annan, who was not drinking tonight, picked up a glass of juice and clinked the glasses with this person who was supposed to be a friend.

"Then, it's almost time to set off."

Annan could not have imagined that time would pass so quickly.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed and the new year has arrived.

Earlier today, Annan had a meal to celebrate with his two family members in this world, but he did not stay there to wait for the countdown.

Because there is a special event that he has to participate in today.

The reason why Annan is with the stargazers now is just to bide his time in a more suitable place.

The place where he is now is a villa-style residence bought by Munch, a wealthy man for generations, in the luxury area in the center of Kedakes City.

It is also expected to be used as a venue for future heart transplant surgeries.

There is something wrong with the heart that Munch bought, and it has not been shipped yet. Although he is sure that the goods will be received, he still has to wait a little longer.

Annan was not impatient about this. The false black magic heart that had been installed on Munch was still functioning normally and would not die out so quickly.

"Oh, let's set off fireworks."

Munch noticed that his maid occasionally looked at the sky outside the window. He turned around and found that there were beautiful sparks blooming in the middle of the night.

"It seems that the country of Matatek hasn't set off fireworks to celebrate the New Year for a long time, right? And it's still late at night. It seems that the president was very happy to be re-elected as the president and issued a lot of budgets. ah."

Fireworks shows are a very common celebration item, but once these fleeting fireworks in the sky are released continuously for a long time, the cost is quite staggering.

Not to mention continuous release for an hour, even if it is only half an hour or just ten minutes, taxpayers may be burned in the sky, who knows tens of millions or 100 million.

The United States of Matatec has not really recovered from the civil strife, so no such money-burning project has been carried out anywhere in nearly seventeen years.

"It's not bad."

Annan lost interest after taking one look at the fireworks display.

In his previous life, he had seen larger and better-looking fireworks displays, but his eyesight was a little too high. Now, such a small one couldn't hold his attention at all.

Besides, he had things to do next and had no intention of staying here to watch the fireworks.

"Next, I'm going to set off fireworks here too, on the ground."

Annan checked that the time was almost up and left in Munch's big villa.

He drove the car alone towards the west side of the city.

Boom!

Not long after, Annan saw the fireworks on the ground.

"Ah, it's started, it's started."

Even if Annan didn't listen carefully, he could hear loud gunshots coming from some places.

There were also constant explosions.

"The dirty fireworks blooming on the ground really fit the occasion."

Annan paid no attention to the chaos and commotion around him, which was to be expected.

However, as he was heading towards his destination, he gradually realized that something was wrong.

"……Um?"

Annan took out the walkie-talkie hidden in the car, and then accessed the communication channel that Rodrick had secretly and illegally set up.

Soon, he realized that his idea was correct.

"I just said that the place where the explosion happened was weird...it was a bit too much, and the direction was a little wrong."

Annan heard the latest news on the intercom.

"The territory of the Nares Gang was attacked."

Annan wanted to laugh a little.

Today, as we enter the new year, Roderick has been secretly planning for a long time to attack the Coulier Gang.

Roderick did this in a very secretive manner. Only some of the higher-ups knew about this operation, and the other lower-level members did not know.

The lower-level members only need to accept the command. After receiving immediate notification, they can pick up weapons and go to the appropriate place to cause destruction.

However, the other side seemed to have the same idea.

"At the same time as Roderick launched the attack, the Coulier Gang also launched a full-scale attack at the same time... You guys really have a tacit understanding."

Annan didn't think there was a mole. Someone exposed the plan. It didn't look like that.

For today's attack, Roderick deliberately pretended that there were many people at the important site, but in fact it was empty. His men secretly went to the target location to attack and destroy it.

Precisely because tonight is the New Year's Day celebrated by everyone, even if the gang members move on a large scale, they will not be exposed at all if they are mixed in the crowd.

It just so happened that the Coulier Gang had the same idea.

They also want to take advantage of today's big day to attack Roderick's Nares gang.

"In other words, the troops on both sides attacked a place where there was no one at all. Is it funny? They all felt lonely."

Annan turned off the intercom and continued to listen to the news. He would really not be able to help bursting into laughter.

"Ha, in the end, it turned into a head-on conflict on the street without any disguise or cover-up."

After Roderick learned about the movements on the other side, he immediately mobilized the men who had gone for a sneak attack to come back.

Now that it has been exposed, there is no point in spreading the force. Sneak attacks and strikes on both sides have failed. If both sides don't want to stop here, then they don't have many options.

Either they had a tacit understanding of each other and retreated, or there would have been a vigorous collision.

It was naturally impossible for Roderick to retreat. If today's plan was really just a simple attack, he might indeed choose to retreat cautiously.

However, he and his gang were just bait from beginning to end.

In this case, we can only bite the bullet and go forward.

"The New Year is of course a lively one."

Annan has arrived at his destination as quickly as possible.

Next, it’s time to work hard.

"Although today is the New Year, I don't plan to stay up all night. Well, anyway, I'll kill Ero quickly and then go back to sleep with my little pillow."
