Chapter 6: Great Purge, Enthusiastic Performance
Chapter 6: Great Purge, Enthusiastic Performance
When Ji Chen arrived, the place was already crowded with people and the atmosphere was very lively.
Even the Langdao family's trusted guards were used to maintain order.
Ji Chen slightly covered his face and squeezed towards the backstage of the concert. He could clearly hear the excited discussions of the people around him.
"Have you heard? A big incident happened last night. The heads of four aristocratic families and their most outstanding successors all died mysteriously, and the murderer has not been found yet."
"Hehe, I heard about it. It's really refreshing. I don't know who that hero is, but it really makes people happy!"
"That's right. Not only did they control the assets and wantonly exploited us, they also deceived the Great Guardian and created the illusion of prosperity. They should all be hung on the street lamps!"
"Come to think of it, do you think that this was arranged by the Great Guardian..."
The voices gradually became quieter, and Ji Chen could see the ecstasy in the eyes of these citizens, as if they had discovered a shocking secret.
......
Passing through the crowd, the guards of the Langdao family recognized Ji Chen, who had removed the face cover, and respectfully made way for him.
"Are you all ready? The show is about to start!"
"Pella is really unreliable. She actually said she couldn't come because of something urgent!"
"Oli, you are the only one left to play the drums. Don't be nervous and keep the rhythm..."
As soon as he stepped into the backstage of the concert, Ji Chen heard the sound of Xiluwa making nervous arrangements.
“Brother Ji Chen!”
The girl near the door noticed him and her eyes narrowed into crescent shapes.
The girl sat in front of the rock keyboard, looking very well-behaved, with a pretty face.
She is not inferior to her sister, Shiluwa.
It was Lingke, the band's keyboardist and the youngest sister of the Landau family.
"Hey, Ji Chen, you are finally here."
Xiluwa walked over, looked Ji Chen up and down, and suddenly put her lips close to him.
The two of them were pressed close together, and could feel the sweet and subtle rhythm of each other's breathing.
An interested voice sounded in my ears: "Tell me the truth, was it you who did it last night?"
The breath of a mature lady hits my face, and her golden hair brushes against my cheeks, making me feel itchy.
Ji Chen sniffed, nodded and said sullenly: "Yes, last night Cocolia was me..."
Before he could finish his words, Xiluwa quickly covered them with her hands.
Her beautiful eyes stared at him.
The little girl is still at home, how dare this bastard say such nonsense.
"Miss, it's show time!"
The guard's voice came from outside.
Xiluwa immediately stood up straight and raised her hand to push the hair on her forehead behind her ears.
"Just listen here, otherwise letting everyone recognize you as the man of the Great Guardian will attract unnecessary attention."
After saying that, Xiluwa took her electric guitar and walked to the stage first.
"Brother Ji Chen, I want to go up too."
Lingke blinked mischievously and skipped to catch up with her sister.
Ji Chen smiled.
I just moved a chair and sat down. From here I could see the performance of Shiluwa and others from behind.
This time the big cleanup.
The Langdao family, who have obeyed the Great Guardian for generations, will not be affected in any way.
On the contrary, under his instruction, he will be granted more important positions by Cocolia.
This is the reward for loyalty to the City Builder and the Great Guardian that runs in the blood of the Landau family.
Seven hundred years ago, in the Battle of Beloberg, a showdown with the main force of the antimatter army took place.
Landel Landau, the ancestor of the Landau family and one of the heroes, led two brigades of the Iron Guards and fought the enemy for four full days and nights outside the city.
The other noble families also once had many glorious days.
For example, our heroic ancestor, Holmes Goethe, who led a death squad and defended the pass for months until reinforcements arrived and who had already sacrificed his life.
These names all represent glory and flags.
Ji Chen will not destroy them completely.
Instead, let the younger generation take the initiative to defend this glory that was once discarded.
For example, all the able-bodied men in the family were conscripted into the army and sent to fight in the most brutal battlefield of the subsequent all-out war.
Om-!
Accompanied by a burst of rapid rock electronic music.
Shiluwa's performance began.
The audience was infected by the music and swayed their bodies enthusiastically.
The performance song was "Three Days and Three Nights" provided by Ji Chen yesterday.
“Not tiring at all.
I have been dancing for three days and three nights.
I'm in the mood now, and I'd get drunk even if I drank soda."
......
Fort Clipper.
Cocolia sits on the Great Guardian Throne.
His majestic gaze swept across the rows of high-ranking dignitaries who came to attend the meeting.
Compared with the past, there are fewer faces who hold real power.
The atmosphere was very tense.
The air became thick.
Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look directly into the eyes of the Great Guardian Cocolia.
"The Rift Monsters have invaded the city, and the earth's marrow resources are about to be exhausted. Beloberg doesn't have much time left."
Cocolia's voice echoed throughout the meeting room.
All the nobles below frowned slightly.
Obviously, he didn't expect that the Great Guardian would not mention the series of bloody assassinations that took place last night, but directly pointed out the crisis of Beloberg.
"The will of the Amber King resonates in the hearts of every citizen."
"It has been agreed upon at the City Builders' Conference that, from today on, except for the Langdao family, which is in charge of the Silver Mane Iron Guard, all other noble families will donate 99% of their assets to prepare for the fight against the world-shattering monsters."
"What?!!"
The nobles who had not experienced the iron-blooded assassination last night all looked at Cocolia in disbelief.
"Why, you don't want to?"
Cocolia exudes an aura of cold majesty.
"Great Guardian, the Marcuse family is willing to donate 99% of its assets."
A young man walked out from the front below.
His voice was trembling as he spoke, and his forehead was covered in sweat. He was nervous and excited at the same time, and he didn't even dare to look up at the Great Guardian's face.
He is the sixth son of the Marcuse family.
He was of mediocre talent, far inferior to his brothers. According to clan rules, he had no inheritance rights and was just sent somewhere to eat and wait for death.
But a few years ago, he was won over by a mysterious force and lay dormant, waiting for his chance.
Until last night.
There was great turmoil in the family, and those in power and several outstanding heirs were all killed.
In the chaos, the Sixth Young Master was pushed to the position of clan leader by a mysterious force, holding power that made him tremble.
It was at this time that he realized that all of this was arranged by the Great Guardian.
After receiving the secret order in the early morning, the Sixth Young Master was the first to stand up during the meeting without any hesitation.
He is not a fool.
Since the Great Guardian can push him to the position of clan leader, he can also give this position to someone else.
Although the family assets were reduced by 99%, at least they were able to survive.
What's more, he originally had no inheritance rights to the assets.
Now he has become the boss of the entire family.
Stand firmly on the side of the Great Guardian.
"The Bova family agrees with the decision of the Great Guardian."
"The Lemusting family agrees with the decision of the Grand Guardian."
......
The other three families, which had changed their appearance, walked out of the line and stood with the sixth son of the Marcuse family.
See this scene.
The faces of the other aristocratic capitalists turned pale. They understood that things were going to change.
