Chapter 165 Tommy Lloyd
No. 1 Lloyd
Lloyd's District, Lloyd's Building, top floor office.
8:30 am.
Tommy Lloyd had just sat down when he immediately received an internal call.
"Yes, I'm Lloyd."
The strong man, who was more than two meters and five meters tall and taller than many male elves, said in a deep voice.
He was waiting for good news.
Elves are usually thin, but President Lloyd's body is full of solid muscles. He is so huge, and his fingers are also thick. So that he can't use the human rotary phone at all.
The phone he uses is a model specially customized by the telephone company. Just like his black suit and the furniture, tables and chairs he uses every day... Ordinary people can hold food with their hands, but he can only pinch it with his fingers.
President Lloyd has many discomforts when using any product developed for humans. Only real elf products can slightly meet his needs.
But no matter how many inconveniences he has in his daily life, it is just a small problem after all.
What really bothered him was the racial discrimination he suffered on a daily basis.
Or rather, it was outrage.
Avalon was, after all, the kingdom of humans and elves.
Here, not to mention the ignorant and uncivilized trolls and the lizardmen living in the desert and swamps, even goblins and dwarves would be expelled. Not to mention a half-blood giant like him.
When the Avalonians won, almost all the giants in the Giant Kingdom were killed - this move did not encounter any resistance at the time. Because all giants are warriors, and every giant has eaten humans. It was a hatred that had been passed down for generations, but it only broke out at that time.
But what really puzzled and angered Tommy was that those who could leave the blood of giants were all half-blood giants who had supported Avalon... In other words, these half-blood giants were not the blood of giants, but the blood of half-blood giants, and they should not be discriminated against.
He even wanted to leave Avalon and go to the Far North.
It is said that there are still remnants of giants now - that is a heresy that existed when the Giant Kingdom still existed.
They are giants on the path of wisdom.
Giants are different from the trolls in the southern plantations. They have brains and are very useful, just like Tommy now. Pure-blooded giants have higher IQs than humans, but they are overwhelmed by endless anger and choose not to use them.
Those giant philosophers who have embarked on the path of wisdom went to the Far North, relying on the cold outside to suppress the furious instincts in their bodies.
They gave up eating people and chose to eat fish, seabirds and seals instead. They became smaller in size, and thick white hair grew on the dark red burning skin, and their tempers became milder. They fell into profound philosophical thinking day and night, and even produced an apostle of the great philosopher.
Tommy also wanted to go there, at least it was quiet there.
And those giants living in cold areas would also accept half-giants who came to seek refuge. The only problem was that Tommy didn't know if he could calm down.
When he got old, he might move there to retire. He sometimes thought so.
But before that, he still wanted to take advantage of his youth and try his best.
After the path of power became the path of authority, the remaining path impulses in the bodies of the giants who did not turn to the path of wisdom naturally became the path of authority.
Some giants used ambition to resist this impulse, reverse it and move towards the path of transcendence - they were the high-level members of the Noble Red Society. They completely embarked on another path and parted ways with the giants who were still addicted to the pulse of blood.
But even if Tommy accepted the "Sons of the Snake" ceremony and was added with the adaptability of the path of transcendence... he still did not have the talent of transcendence. He always had an authoritarian heart, which was the instinct flowing in the blood of the giants.
For him, transcendence was just a tool, and authority was the goal.
Tommy could not restrain the desire for power that was always boiling in his heart... and because of this, although he was also a half-blood giant, his status in the Noble Red Society was not high.
——Even his compatriots looked down on him.
They can completely resist the "wrong call" of the authoritarian path in their blood and choose another path. But Tommy can't do it.
He actually wants to do it.
That's why he gradually gave up the management of Lloyd's. By gradually moving himself away from the center of power, he gradually adapted himself to the purest desire for transcendence. Just like the practice of those monks - through the practice of the way of wisdom, he can get rid of his desire for authority.
But he obviously failed.
When Tommy sat in his seat again, he couldn't help but let out a sweet sigh. It was like drinking a strong wine, and the fragrant aroma filled his brain.
He is an alien after all.
Whether among humans or giants; whether in Lloyd's or Noble Red.
But so what?
Those giants looked down on him, so how could he look up to them?
No culture, no brains. Giant Restoration Plan - Have you restored the country?
The giants participating now simply do not have enough population to support the restoration of the country. As time goes by, human technology has been able to partially ignore the talent gap between humans and giants... and most importantly, their god, the Supreme Heaven, is no longer in his place.
The plan of Noble Red is just a castle in the air. They are just pawns used by the Star Antimony people and a group of consumables used to disrupt the situation in Avalon.
That is why Avalon has never worried about them... because no one would leave the Knight Master to be food for the giants.
They have power, but they can't shake the foundation of Avalon from the root.
And the power is not enough... at least any of the few strong men in Avalon can make Noble Red extremely afraid.
What Tommy has to do is much simpler.
- He just needs to let himself sit on the throne.
Whether it is marrying the princess, usurping the throne, or being the regent - it doesn't matter. Tommy doesn't care about his race or his descendants. He only cares about himself.
Now, all of Tommy's plans are going smoothly - using Lloyd's to increase his voice and influence in the Noble Red Society, relying on the power of Noble Red to integrate those human businessmen, and then using Lloyd's to influence the Round Table Hall, and then become the underground emperor of the entire Avalon.
Because his plan is quite executable, many smart people will stand on his side.
And one day, the underground emperor will also come to the surface.
At that time, all those who look down on him will pay the price.
Now, he just needs to be patient and wait.
"... What?"
After hearing the news on the phone, Tommy was a little surprised.
That was not the same news he was waiting for.
But he was not panicked. He just pondered for a while, and then simply answered: "Please ask her to come up."
He straightened his clothes and poured two cups of tea. One cup was for himself, a large cup; and the other cup was for humans. This emphasized precision for him, but he had trained for a long time.
Not long after, an energetic old lady came up with great strides.
Her hair was silver, her cheekbones were high, and her face was covered with clear wrinkles. But her back was straight, her arms were full of muscles, and her eyes were shining.
"Tommy!"
She roared as soon as she entered the door, and the half-giant's hands trembled slightly.
But Tommy didn't dare to act rashly in front of her, so he could only smile: "Ms. Meg, what do you want to see me for..."
"--Don't be a jerk!"
Meg interrupted him rudely.
She didn't use the power of the Tao, but her blazing eyes were like the muzzle of a gun.
"Where did you catch that Moriarty? Put him back!"
Meg ordered.
At first, Tommy thought that the fact that he sent people to attack last night was exposed. But he quickly reacted:
... Capture?
Didn't I ask them to attack the other party?
"I think you must have misunderstood. This matter should have nothing to do with our Lloyd's... At least I don't know about it..."
"【Tell the truth】." Meg ordered directly.
"I did not send anyone to catch him. The Noble Red Society was dissatisfied with Aiwass joining Lloyd's, so I sent a group of people to kill him directly."
Tommy blurted out.
As soon as he said this, his face suddenly became ugly.
"Humph."
Meg snorted coldly.
This old lady, who was less than half his height, just looked at Tommy and made him feel scared.
"What about the staffing? 【Tell me everything】."
"Four demon scholars, two second-level and two third-level. With a whip demon, a blade demon, and two demon dogs..."
"...Blade demon?"
Meg sneered: "You really want him to die.
"Then, 【If he dies, you will die with him】. "
Her voice rumbled like thunder. The silver-white runes were embedded in the depths of Tommy's mind like an illusion.
Tommy dared not speak any more. The strong fear made his back sweat.
"Listen, kid. You can't touch this man, understand? I'll give you three days to release him. "
"I really didn't catch him..."
Tommy's voice almost became pleading: "You should be able to judge whether what I said is true..."
"Hehe, I know it's not you. But this matter is always related to you sending people to attack him, right? You didn't kill him, which doesn't mean you are innocent. This matter was not done by you, but by some other faction in Lloyd's that you don't get along with, or in the association. I don't care, you are more familiar with it than me. You handle it.
"Give you some information-the one who caught the man should be a demon with a shadow demon, probably named Aleister. Anyway, you go find him and take people to kill him. Then bring Aiwas back.
"【If you can't do it, you will die】, understand? They don't dare to touch you, but I do. "
Meg's words fell again, branded in Tommy's soul.
She stretched out three fingers, and finally emphasized: "Three days, remember. Don't think about running, you can't run away."
"Yes, I know..."
The giant lowered his head humbly: "I will do my best for you..."
"Don't show me your loyalty here. Do your best for your own life, kid."
Meg said, without any hesitation, turned around and left.
It's a little late, but the update is complete!
