Chapter 684: Chapter 509 Crisis by the Seine River (Two in One)
Yes, saving the world.
That’s what Lord Makula had said himself.
Although the plan seed crazy, Rees had always been a loyal supporter of the other party.
According to Lord Makula, the world had already been coveted by an evil force, and everything done by the Plague Church was in fact aid at resisting those unknown horrors.
Even if this required sacrificing the interests of so people, from a broader perspective, it was all worthwhile.
“Hawke, go and notify Tom and Vasili imdiately. We need to start the plan tonight, activate all the preparations we’ve made. Tonight, we shall turn this city into our first stronghold against evil.”
Rees’s gaze revealed a hint of longing and anticipation.
Hawk, however, was montarily stunned before he hesitantly spoke:
“Boss, are you sure we want to launch the plan now? Those rats are still only half-finished, their weakness to bright light hasn’t been solved yet. Aren’t we being a bit too risky…?”
Rees shook his head and said:
“You don’t know yet, but the Plague has been killed off already. He must have exposed our secrets. Anyway, this batch of rats is all defective, sooner or later they need to be used up, so we might as well let them out early to buy us so more ti.”
He poured himself a glass of red wine and swirled the glass in his hand, his deanor relaxed and elegant.
“Besides, this is an order from Lord Makula; all we have to do is obey. I trust Lord Makula’s judgnt, and His Divine Oracle isn’t to be questioned.”
After speaking, Rees got up and walked over to the French window, looking down at the city below with intense anticipation in his eyes.
“As long as this plan succeeds, Lord Makula will have access to more resources, and then the promise He made to can also be fulfilled… ”
Hawke silently listened to his boss’s words, and finally took a deep breath and said in a deep voice:
“I understand. I’ll arrange it right now. Everything will be ready within half an hour, don’t worry.”
“Good, go…”
Rees didn’t turn around but just stood quietly by the window. After a long while, he finally drank the red wine in his glass and murmured:
“Hansen, don’t worry, I’ll see you again soon, Lord Makula will surely resurrect you…”
Underneath the seemingly peaceful surface, the undercurrents were already surging. Tonight, it was destined to be anything but calm.
…
Bali City, beside the Seine River.
This is the birthplace of the city, and it’s only because of her that this beautiful tropolis exists.
It can be said that she is the mother river that nurtures all this, as well as the pride and symbol of the entire city.
The ti is now 1 AM, and most people have already fallen into slumber.
The Seine River has also beco quiet, possessing a unique beauty different from that of dayti, resembling a tranquil princess’s garden.
At this mont, on the riverbank, a man and a woman are talking to each other in the chilly air.
“Liu Hao, why are you following , I’ve already said it’s impossible between us!”
A girl looked back at the boy, her face full of sorrow.
“Chenchen, I’m sorry, it’s my fault, I know everything, please don’t leave , I need you!”
The other man in his early twenties stood not far away, gazing at her passionately, his eyes laden with reluctance.
The girl gave a mournful smile.
“You know everything? Hah, you don’t know anything, you only have your work in your eyes, when have you ever cared about ?”
“No, it’s not like that, I work so that we can be together better, Chenchen, I’m afraid I can’t give you the life you want!”
“The life I want? Do you think this is the life I want? It seems you still don’t understand anything!”
“But, Chenchen, it was your idea to co to Bali, to live a romantic life in Gaul, if I don’t work hard, where would the money co from to bring you here?”
“Hah, you just don’t get it! I just want you to spend more ti with , yet you spend every day in etings, or at the company, we don’t even have ti alone together!”
The girl’s face was wet with tears.
“But, these shareholder etings are very important, the company is on the rise. If I don’t attend them, then we will lose even more ti!”
The boy’s eyes were also red.
“Enough! I don’t want to hear your excuses anymore, you jerk, I never want to see you again!”
As she spoke, the girl turned around, intending to climb over the railing and jump down.
The boy imdiately shouted in panic:
“Don’t! Chenchen! Don’t do anything foolish! I’ll agree to anything you say, okay!”
The girl’s movents suddenly stopped. As the boy’s face showed a mont of joy, he saw the girl pull out a Barrett M82A1 Anti-Material Sniper Rifle from nowhere and said coldly:
“You’re right, I really shouldn’t do anything foolish; if anyone is to die, it should be you! Jerk!”
As she abruptly pulled the trigger, accompanied by a loud gunshot, the boy was instantly shot and fell several ters back, collapsing on the ground.
He stretched out his trembling right hand, gazing at the figure in the distance, stamring:
“Chen… Chenchen… I really do love you… as long as you… ”
The next second, an angry shout erupted, cutting off the boy’s “final words.”
“Cut!!!”
A middle-aged man walked over, standing next to the boy, then pointed at a nearby cara and shouted angrily:
