Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 891: Unexpected Identity

When Horn arrived at the rooftop apron of a building in the city, he sat on the Black Hawk flying ship. Looking at the casino from afar, the lights were still flourishing and traffic was frequent. "Twenty years ago, I came to Vegas once," he said softly. "It was only half the size of the city now. Back then, Old Baker didn't conceal his hatred for me. When he met me in Vegas, he said that he would one day kill me. Of course he hated me because his three sons had all died at my hands. Can he not hate me?"

Anna stood silently behind him.

Horn smiled, "I don't pity him, let alone someone like him. Do you really think you care about your family?" If he could, Old Baker wouldn't have come to such a state. I killed his three sons as if I had broken his limbs. He feels pain, of course he hates me. In the end, he only saw himself. However, when he said he wanted to kill me, he didn't even dare to touch me with a single finger. Because he knew very well that it was one thing to say. If I act, I can kill him openly. "

"The old fellow is very smart. He endured until now and silently laid out the plan. However, he doesn't know that I have made sufficient preparations for this day. Furthermore, I have arranged it deeper and wider than him. I have finally cleared a tumor for the clan." Horn said indifferently.

"Isn't it more straightforward for master to directly kill him back then?"

Horn smiled and shook his head, "It's not that simple. I just took over the family back then. Killing Old Baker's sons was a warning. If even he was killed, it would make the collateral heart go cold. Anna, don't look at being the head of a family. In fact, we have too much to worry about. It's not easy to maintain a family, and it's even harder to let the family split apart."

"I have everything under control tonight, but one thing Old Baker surprised me."

Anna narrowed her eyes. "The assassin named Valhinian?"

"Old Baker can't find such a person. You heard him at that time. That killer didn't listen to Old Baker's orders. Hmph, someone wants to interfere in our family." Horn's expression changed slightly as he coughed intensely. He took out a square scarf and covered his mouth. The pure white scarf quickly turned red.

Anna was shocked and was about to get up.

Horn shook his head and wiped the blood off his lips. "It's fine. It's just a minor injury. You see, being the head of a family is so tiring that you can't even reveal a single injury in front of those people."

"Master, do you want to investigate that killer?"

"There's no need. I don't think I can find anything. Even if I can, most of the clues are smoke and mist bombs. Anyone who dares to attack me will have to be a bit more careful. How can they be dug out so easily?"

Anna hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, Ederick and Tell are not as loyal as Old Baker."

"Of course." Horn clenched the scarf into a ball, and when he loosened it, the entire scarf had already turned into ashes and scattered down. "Throughout the family, there are only a few people who are truly loyal," he said. "To ride a fierce horse, it is not enough to nurture feelings. It needs to be fed and fed. But if it dares to be proud of its pet, it needs to be beaten properly. The beating is too light to serve as a warning. It is too hard to run away."

Horn smiled as he raised his head. "Tonight, it was about settling Old Baker and knocking them down a little. At least until I step down, these two fellows won't be able to rebel."

After saying that, he closed his eyes. Anna knew that he wanted to rest and did not disturb him. Looking out of the porthole, the airship began to rise and the building gradually disappeared. Even the bustling city below quickly turned into a blurry light, unable to distinguish the outline of things.

Just like this world, there were many things that were originally hard to distinguish.

Eliphant was awake all night.

It was late at night, and the surface general, nicknamed the "war elephant" in politics, was sitting in his hall. Eliphant was as fat as a pig, and his body was as fat as a sphere with a weight of more than four hundred kilograms. She was clean and white again, and when she squinted her eyes, she smiled with the simplicity of a fatty. However, when she squinted her eyes, she could see the killing intent hidden in her simple and honest face.

Amongst the eight generals of the surface garrison, Eliphant's battle prowess was in the back row, but his influence was firmly in the top three. Although this fatty was called a battle elephant, he advocated the tactic of biting dead elephants with ants. Under the eight generals, he had the most troops. Of course, such a tactic wouldn't stand on the high-end battlefield. However, on the surface, it was enough to cover the sky with Eliphant's hand.

Anyone familiar with Eliphant knew that this was definitely not a law-abiding person. On the surface, he was a Federation general, but behind his back, Eliphant did a lot of dirty things. Armed groups like the ones that nurtured the surface, and even had their own research bases, were secretly conducting inhumane experiments. Inside, there was research on the predators. What was even more terrifying was that the predators were originally a failure of a certain biochemical research. Eliphant, based on the principle of thrift and diligence, simply threw out these modified monsters and controlled them to carry out some actions that were inconvenient for him. josei

Most of the time, Eliphant was smiling. Even when he was killing people, it was rare to see this fatty being serious. But at this moment, the general was about to crush the pitiful sofa beneath his butt without a smile on his face. He smelled of cigarette, and on the table in front of him, a small hill was almost piled up at the end of the cigarette.

Just as Eliphant rubbed his cigarette butt on the table, the window of the hall was pushed open and a silhouette came in. The man, who should have worn a comforting suit, was now in rags. Only the sunglasses on his body were fine, but it was Eliphant who lent them to Old Baker's assassin, Valhine. Footsteps rang out outside the hall, and Eliphant shouted, "Go back. There's nothing for you here."

After dispersing the guards, the fatty threw away the cigarette butt and directly leapt over the table. His figure was unexpectedly light and nimble, and it had nothing to do with the word stupid in the slightest. He was supposed to be Valhinian's boss, but he held him up like a subordinate and asked, "Are you hurt?"

The fatty opened his eyes and looked at the bloodstains on Valhinian's chest. The latter pushed him away and said indifferently, "I can't die. Horn is really troublesome. I saw that famous saber at the end of many years and thought that it was hidden in his walking stick. Qiu Yan is worthy of being called a famous saber. He descended like a saber from the autumn sun. Nothing is impenetrable without a sharp edge. Nothing is impenetrable."

Valhinian reached out to take off his sunglasses.

His face blurred when he saw the sunglasses. After the smoke dissipated, the killer's appearance had changed dramatically. From the face of the masses that he couldn't recognize when he had been thrown into the sea of people, he now had a resolute expression, with distinct edges and corners, and an extremely individualistic look on his face. Most importantly, it was a well-known face. What a joke. His Excellency the President appears in public every once in a while, and the Babylonian media are desperately trying to promote him. Even on the surface, posters of the presidential election were posted in the toilets of poor families. Who didn't know the man who was going to be re-elected?

Perhaps even Horn hadn't thought that the one who attacked him on the golden sail was actually Mobie. Mobbit ripped off his tattered coat in front of Eliphant, and a bloody groove appeared on his chest. What was even more shocking was that the president's chest was covered in bruises, and he could hardly find a good piece of meat. "When Horn took out Qiu Yan, I thought I could fight it out," Mobie said as he stretched out a finger. "But when that knife came, I knew that Qiu Yan's saber Qi was so pervasive that it almost caught up to Golden Rose's destructive power. If I hadn't seen it, I probably wouldn't have been able to return."

Eliphant lowered his head and quickly raised his face in surprise, "Is a handful of Qiu Yan that powerful?"

"Of course, a handful of Qiu Yan isn't that powerful, but it's already in Horn's hands." Mobie shook his head and sighed, "I wanted to use this opportunity to cover up my identity as Old Baker. It would be better if I could kill Horn in one fell swoop." No matter how bad it was, it could still severely injure him. At that time, we don't need to do anything. Beth Cod will definitely be in a mess. Beth Cod was in chaos, and several clans, including the Morsen Clan, would also be in chaos. At this time, if we push it behind us again, the entire noble will be in chaos. It's good that we're in a mess. Once this water gets mixed up, it'll be convenient for us to do things. "But I didn't expect Horn to be so strong. Not only is his combat strength extremely high, even his tactics are terrifyingly brilliant."

He patted Eliphant's shoulder and said, "It's a pity that you weren't there. Otherwise, you would have been able to see our Mr. Horn play the game together, leaving Old Baker completely powerless to fight back. How wonderful was the scene? Even if Horn was like this, the rich family heads were not easy to deal with. It seems like I had underestimated them before."

"Then now?"

Mobie frowned and said, "My injuries are neither serious nor light. In a few days, I won't be able to get rid of Qiu Yan's saber qi. So tomorrow's speech probably won't show up. Otherwise, if Horn sees any clues, it won't be worth it."

'"Then shall I cancel it for you?" Said Arifen.

"No, it's easier to attract attention. It doesn't matter. If you let Alan take my place, he'll be fine."

Alan was Mobbit's substitute, and his figure and appearance were 70-80% similar to the president's. Coupled with the disguise technique that Mobit had used previously, as long as he wasn't familiar with him, it would be difficult to see through it. "I have to stay with you for the next few days, Eliphant. You and Alan should try your best to cooperate with each other in your lectures and other activities. Don't attract any attention from the outside world," Mobie said in a low voice.

"Of course. Please rest assured, sir." A sincere smile appeared on the general's face.

Mobie nodded and left with ease. Eliphant sat down and began to smoke again. He seemed to be thinking about something and tapped heavily on the table with his fingers. Finally, he shook his head, threw the remaining half of his cigarette on the table, and got up to leave. Moments after he left, Mobius stuck his head out at the corner of the stairs and looked at the pile of cigarette butts on the table before turning and leaving.

Another moment later, a servant cleared away the cigarette butts on the table and scrubbed them carefully, making the table as bright as ever.
