Chapter 113 Vice President Boca
Evans couldn't hold back just thinking about the fact that Sherlock Hermes and James Moriarty, the two nemesis in the original work, both faked their deaths today.
However, Aiwas keenly caught a blind spot here.
The reason why York Lawyer could directly confirm that Sherlock was dead was simple - because he was the one who did it himself. He gave Sherlock sleeping pills and detonated the bombs he prepared at the right time. He also received the news of Sherlock's death at a reasonable time.
From this point of view, the fundamental reason why he was able to confirm that Sherlock was dead was actually because York hoped so from the bottom of his heart.
Although York Consultant's position in Lloyd's seemed to be relatively high, he was actually in a very embarrassing situation at the moment. He must not expose himself in this case, and he had to kill Sherlock himself.
As long as the bomb did not kill Sherlock this time, whether he went over to finish him off or not, it would be easy to expose himself. So he didn't want to hear the news that Sherlock survived - so he would subconsciously use the intelligence he collected to confirm his already determined point of view. This was also his preparation in advance to convince other senior executives.
Considering this point of view, Lloyd's can confirm that Professor Moriarty is dead... Does it mean that they are also involved in this matter?
After all, divination may be disturbed and may not be completely correct. Moreover, it is impossible to accurately predict the high-ranking people with too low energy level. Since Lloyd's can invite the prophet to do divination for them, they must know such limitations.
Then they can confirm the death without confirming the body... It can only be that they are involved in this matter. For example, they sent someone to assassinate the professor, and then that person brought back the other party's death, or perhaps evidence to prove that the other party is dead. Because of this, they will confirm this fact after divination once and feel relieved.
Another possibility is that they don't actually need Professor Moriarty to die.
Lloyd's only needs to make Professor Moriarty temporarily dead on the social level. It is enough to prevent Professor Moriarty from returning to Glass Island for the time being to give their plan a time difference.
No matter which possibility it is, the possibility of the professor faking his death and escaping is not small. And both possibilities have one thing in common - that is, Lloyd's has no good intentions towards Aiwas.
It is because they are eager to use Aiwas that they called him here in advance and informed him of Professor Moriarty's death in advance. This is to prevent Aiwas from confirming and thinking time, and at the same time to put pressure on him.
Aiwas narrowed his eyes slightly, and a plan came to his mind.
He decided to attack directly and strive for the initiative.
So he stopped hiding and suddenly said, "Lawyer York, you seem to be in a hurry."
The moment Aiwas said this, York's face changed a little.
He tilted his head slightly to the left, and his chin rested on the fingertips of his raised left hand. And the three fingers of his right hand gently played on the armrest rhythmically, like playing an air piano.
Looking at York lawyer, Aiwas said slowly and tapped him: "You don't seem to be sad about my father's death."
"That's because..."
"Because his death is more in line with your interests. Whether he really died or disappeared, or it was just a lie that I couldn't verify and temporarily deceived me.
"But in any case, you told me this information in advance, instead of coming to me after I saw the newspaper myself or even encountered difficulties in reality, which means you are very anxious. Because it is obvious that the latter is easier for me to believe and easier to recruit me. "
It is better to send charcoal in the snow than to add icing on the cake.
"Lloyd's is a collection of businessmen. It can make a group of businessmen abandon the plan with the lowest risk and the greatest benefit and choose to activate my line in advance. Then can I understand that your current situation is not as stable as you show now? "
Evans half-closed his eyes, as if he was a little sleepy.
He spoke slowly, his voice low and clear, like whispering to a child: "From Sherlock's funeral, you took me directly to Lloyd's headquarters without letting me go home; made me sit in such a shaky elevator; showed you photos with so many big shots without leaving a trace; used the peeling demon to scare me; pointed out the fact that you can monitor the "Noble Red" without meaning; reported my father's death...
"You keep putting pressure on me. Do you want me to promise you something here? Why not tell me first, maybe I will easily agree to it."
Evans narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Let me guess... Have you made a mistake recently? That's why you are eager to pull me in and use this achievement to offset your mistakes.
"Looking at your eyes, I seem to have guessed right. "
"...Aren't you afraid at all? "
Lawyer York scratched his head in annoyance, but his face did not show any expression of coercion.
Evans also said with a smile, showing his value: "In fact, I had already informed Mr. Mycroft before I came here; before I got in the car, I also informed Butler Oswald. You don't want me to get into trouble here, right, Lawyer York? This is the first.
"Second, you would go through so much trouble and spend so much effort to persuade me, telling me the story of Prince Lloyd and the backwardness of the royal family, which shows that I have special value. You can't control me through simple means such as coercion or inducement.
"The last thing is... I guess there is someone at the door now. It should be the Vice President of Boca. He should have been at the door before you talked to me about my father's death."
"——How did you guess it?"
A steady voice came from the door.
The person who opened the door and walked in was a middle-aged man with half-black and half-white hair and a mustache. He was wearing a dark blue suit and had a square face. The hair was neatly taken care of, but no hair gel or wax was applied.
The middle-aged businessman seems to be a serious man. After entering the door, he subconsciously put his hands behind his back and walked slowly behind Lawyer York.
But Aiwass just smiled gently, raised his left hand to scratch in the void, and said hello to the man who entered the door later.
He said lazily: "That's all I say first, Mr. Boca.
"Now that you've come in, I wonder if Mr. York can't get the credit for his work? That's quite a pity. I think he is a good man."
"His contribution will not be less, because you are worth much more than we expected."
Without even asking Attorney York, Mr. Borca directly took his place in the conversation with Aiwass.
Completely different from the York lawyer who is always cheerful, soft-spoken and soft-spoken.
Vice President Boca's words were more straightforward, more impactful and charming: "Do you want to be the king, Mr. Aiwass? Better than 'Prince'... and not just 'Moriarty'. "
Aiwass raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who doesn't want to?"
"But you have such an opportunity now. If you are lucky, you will not even be a king - but an 'emperor'."
Boka's voice was low and magnetic, and his words were full of seduction: "This is completely possible. You have to know that we are all businessmen, and everyone has his own market and business. No one wants the old The stable market was smashed to pieces, and those white crowns and red candles were stolen by bastards who don't know where.
"From this point of view, we are actually the maintainers of order in Avalon. Just like Lloyd's Club also maintains order in Lloyd's District."
"...Is it the relationship between I and Isabel that you value?"
Aiwass did not shy away from calling Her Royal Highness the Princess by her name.
He tilted his head slightly and asked, "Then why should I cooperate with you?"
Hearing this, the corners of Boca's and York's mouths both raised slightly in sync.
"It's normal for young people to be energetic."
York took over the conversation and happily smoothed things over: "Who hasn't been young yet? Not to mention such an outstanding young man as Aiwass..."
"Mr. Aiwass, this is a business that we have been operating for many years. Since Lloyd's was first founded, it has had the mission of being a transcender - from this perspective, you are a latecomer.
"The ancestors spent two hundred years preparing the situation, and then the newcomers accidentally broke in and picked the fruit. If the newcomer chooses to eat alone, do you think the only thing he needs to fight against is the royal family? Don't forget Yes, Mr. Aiwass - compared with the official side, we are all weak parties. There is no need for the weak side to fight the weak side. We need to unite with each other."
When he persuaded Aiwass, Boka said this more directly.
Hearing this, Aiwass raised his eyebrows: "Did you do the royal curse?"
"It's not all us."
Boca replied: "Many people want to do this. Star Antimony, Iris, Round Table Hall...
"It's been more than four hundred years. It's been four hundred years since Lancelot I led the Knights of the Round Table to occupy Avalon Island and renamed it Glass Island.
"I remember that your tutor taught history - you know a country that has lasted for four hundred years without a single interruption of inheritance, no civil war or rebellion, no change of royal power, and no change of customs. What are you wearing?"
It means decay, but also change.
