Chapter 30 A Game of Hide and Seek
"Let's play a game."
Eric moved slightly backwards and hid his face in the darkness again.
"A hide and seek game, see whoever we find each other first."
Eric's husky voice deliberately disguised sounded uncomfortable, and combined with his strange eyes hidden in the dark but emitting orange-red eyes, the noble men and women of the Owl Council shuddered.
It seems like I am an owl, while the other party is a hawk hiding in the darkness of the night to hunt owls.
"No one dares to slander our name, and no one dares to slander us!"
The Black Robe Speaker's voice was filled with anger that was extremely suppressed, "You will pay the price for this! Even the blood cannot be repaid, God's Punisher!"
"I'll wait and see!"
Eric's voice could not hear any emotion, "But before that, you must hide in the low walls and lofts, otherwise once you are found by me, your ambitions and desires will be destroyed by me, wealth and fame will be promoted by me, and the so-called "Owl Council" will disappear."
"You rats overlooked one very important thing, that is, you are just dust and shadows, and you have never controlled this city."
Click!
As soon as Eric finished speaking, the remote connection was interrupted before the Owl Council could react.
The noble men and women in the parliamentary hall looked at each other with different expressions.
Even though Eric is so threatened and insulted, the emotions that arise in his heart are more suspicious than anger.
The other party can easily kill Chris and make him unresponsive. It is conceivable that he will never be an ordinary person.
“I think…”
After a moment of silence, the Speaker looked up at the people with different expressions.
"It's time to start our plan. The existence of the parliament was provoked by the enemy, and the city had already developed lesions, and the simple way to deal with the lesions is to remove the diseased part. Although I don't know the identity of this motherland, I guess no matter how I guess, I must be one of our enemies."
As he said that, he raised the owl feather in his hand and said to everyone: "I propose to launch a clearance plan to get rid of those who have been listed as 'enemy' by parliament."
Who else is there to know the Owls Parliament and be hostile to the Parliament, besides those enemies who violate the will of the Parliament, those wealthy families, and stubborn officials?
So the Speaker took this opportunity to propose a "clearance plan" that had been formulated.
In response to the Speaker's proposal, despite everyone's hesitation, he finally raised the feathers at his hand and agreed.
For this person who was in the remote video call, Eric had no idea about the plans of the Owl Council.
But even if you know, you will only say "expected".
The reason why we anger the other party with arrogance is that we can take the initiative to attack and make a move.
His super vision is not completely unlocked, and there is no problem covering the entire Smallville, but if it covers the entire metropolis, it is impossible to catch up.
After standing up, Eric cleared all the traces, he used his super vision to observe in the apartment, and took out all the suspicious things such as notebooks, documents, and other suspicious things.
......
"You seem a little absent-minded."
Smallville town, Luther Manor.
Lex dialed the phone number marked "Reporter K" on his mobile phone.
The female friend sitting next to him saw his expression strangely and asked, "How are you? Lex."
"I'm fine, but something is beyond expectations."
Lex put down his phone and shrugged his shoulders.
"I thought you were always sure to win."
"No one can win all the time, Victoria."
Lex sat on the sofa and raised a glass of Paloma, "Even Emperor Napoleon."
"I didn't expect you to be interested in history."
Victoria, who had a charming figure and exuded a lazy aura all over her body, said with a smile.
"In fact, I'm not interested in history, but in men who conquered the world before I was thirty."
"Oh, then you don't have to worry, because you'll have a few years left."
Victoria teased.
Lex tasted a bite of Paloma and placed the wine glass on the table, "Victoria, do you know that the Luther family has Dutch blood?"
"oh?"
Victoria asked in surprise: "I thought you were native Americans."
"The Luther family was an early European who immigrated to the Americas. The family had Dutch descent. It was a talented family, scholars, doctors, scientists, educators, writers, and missionaries. When a family reproduced large enough, it would face various problems, just like a business. It was bloated, inefficient, and kidnapped by family affection..."
"Is that why you want to use my father to put pressure on Luther's business to help you seize the right to speak?"
Victoria asked to him with a smile on her lips.
"No."
Lex shook his head, "The above topics about the family are just temporary feelings. What I really want to say is: When a family is long enough, there will be various legends, long-standing urban legends with absurd taste. For example, the society organization that controls the lifeblood of the city in the dark, lurking in the metropolis, a group of dominators in the dark, sleepless like owls, monitoring your every move in the dark."
"Hmm, it's interesting."
Victoria nodded, "I have never heard my father talk about such urban legends."
"It's understandable, after all, Sir Harry's main job is transnational trade and will not focus on the metropolis. Just like the daughter of a transnational industrial giant, she will never rekindle her old love while flying around the world, even if she is an executive vice president."
"I see......"
Victoria suddenly realized, "You said so much around the bush, just because you doubt why I rekindled my old love for you?"
"No, of course not, Victoria, you are always good at unprovoked associations."
Lex changed his seat, "Go back to the topic, I always thought it was an urban legend. Until I knew a reporter, I called him a reporter. After getting along and investigating, I began to doubt whether there was such an organization."
"Reporter, why don't you call him by his name?" Victoria asked.
"Generally speaking, I use code to call a person, which means that my trust in him is basically zero."
"What about me?"
Victoria smiled and approached him, "Can I know which letter my name is in your phone book?"
"Sorry, keep it confidential."
Lex smiled and put his phone back in his pocket.
On the other side of the town, Eric, who had just returned home, encountered some minor troubles.
“Eric.”
As soon as I entered my room, the door was knocked.
Eric frowned.
I don't know why Clark looked for him at this time.
Did you see you going out just now?
