Chapter 360: Justice and Freedom... (First Update)
On the eve of the interrogation.
Zhang Chulan took a moment and called Elijah, and the two had a conversation between men and men.
"Elijah, no matter what you want to do this time, it is a fact that our people blocked the assassins for the king. You owe us a favor."
Zhang Chulan looked at Elijah and started to preach.
"So?" Elijah asked.
"So...in exchange, you should tell me the information about the people who hired you in the 24th Tongtian Valley. Any information will do."
Seeing Elijah again, Zhang Chulan had always wanted to find an opportunity to ask Elijah about his original employer.
It just so happened that this time Zhou Fengliu blocked the disaster for King Nathan, so he could take the opportunity to ask Elijah.
"What are you talking about..."
Elijah paused for a moment, then looked at Zhang Chulan and slowly said four big words.
"No comment."
"In our line of work, not disclosing employer information is also our commitment to our employers, and we are compensated accordingly."
"More importantly, in order to avoid trouble, we only know the information related to the task. As for the employer's matters... we generally will not interfere..."
Listening to Elijah's answer, Zhang Chulan frowned slightly and was silent for two seconds.
"Okay, I've finished answering your questions, and I still want to guard the king."
After saying that, Elijah turned around and left the corner, and opened the door of the corridor on one side.
With a "creak" sound, a spacious and bright hall came into view.
From what he could see, several representatives of foreign alien organizations were sitting on the sofas on both sides, while Zhao Fangxu and Zhou Fengliu, who was pretending to be King Nathan, were sitting on the sofa in the middle.
In front of several representatives, Larry, the unlucky guy, knelt on the ground with his hands tied. There was a slap mark clearly visible on his left cheek, and he didn't know whose hand it was.
"That's right, it's this person without any disguise or disguise, right?"
Zhao Fangxu confirmed several information points, and then looked at Lilia, the president of Sons of the Earth not far away.
"President Lilia, this person... is your accompanying assistant, am I right?"
When Zhao Fangxu asked, Lilia became the target of public criticism. She grabbed Larry's collar, and the fat on her face seemed to tremble with anger.
"Larry, tell me...why did you do that? Why!"
The person she brought with her became the assassin of King Nathan. This was undoubtedly a major external incident. If she couldn't give an explanation, she, the president, might not be able to escape the blame.
"I'm sorry...President."
The client, Larry, seemed to be under tremendous pressure and kept saying sorry.
"What's the use of saying sorry now?"
"Kill me, as long as you don't hurt my wife and daughter...I beg you."
"I really can't kill the king. He is simply not human. I can't kill him with my ability."
"Please! I know, I know you can hear it, you are here! Let my children and wife go, and use my life in exchange for them!"
Under the gaze of a pair of fox-like eyes, Larry began to yell.
He seemed to be going crazy, and seemed to be threatened by someone, and he was talking in the air.
Although Larry was going crazy at the moment, Zhou Fengliu still felt presumptuous when he said "He is simply not human" just now.
How presumptuous...
Wasn't it just that he didn't get assassinated? Just say that he is not human?
Zhou Fengliu said this was too presumptuous.
"Larry, who are you talking to? Are you out of your mind?" President Lilia asked after watching Larry's performance.
Faced with this questioning, Larry told everyone the story of being threatened.
turn out to be...
A week ago, when he learned that he was going to meet with King Nathan with President Lilia, he received a death threat that his wife and daughter would be kidnapped.
The other party asked him to kill King Nathan during the meeting. If he couldn't do it, his wife and daughter would die.
The other party seemed to have infiltrated the Sons of the Earth union and knew the inside information of the Sons of the Earth very well. This resulted in him not being able to inform anyone in the union. He did not dare to take risks with his wife and daughter...
Therefore, he followed the other party's request and carried out a wave of assassinations tonight.
After listening to Larry's story, everyone present was silent for a while, as if judging the truth or falsehood of Larry's words, until Ron jumped out first.
He slapped his big hand on the table with a "pop" sound, then stood up and spoke righteously:
"Outrageous!"
"What a horrific atrocity! Larry, although I sympathize with you, you still committed an unforgivable crime."
"King, this Larry, and the people behind it, we Behemoth must solve it for you!"
"?"
After listening to Ron's words, Zhao Fangxu adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and interrupted:
"Mr. Ron, please wait a moment. If the solution you mentioned is conventional judicial means, how we deal with Larry's behavior is our responsibility."
"Of course it's not a conventional method!"
Ron shook his head after listening to Zhao Fangxu's speech, and then he continued:
"You and I both know that it is extremely difficult for people like us to collect evidence by conventional means. Isn't Behemoth, Nadutong... and the others present here all for this reason?"
"I hope you will give us Behemoth some trust, believe in our firm stance on defending freedom and justice! And believe that we have the power to defend freedom and justice!"
This Ron really has the flavor of an old American politician speaking.
He keeps talking about freedom and justice, but his actions are all hegemonic...
"Of course, we Behemoth also hope to cooperate with you! Let's work together to give the king a satisfactory explanation in this incident!"
"?"
Listening to Ron's impassioned speech, Zhou Fengliu, the substitute of King Nathan, yawned, then looked at Ron and asked:
"So... you Behemoth are making the decision for me again?"
Hearing Zhou Fengliu's question, Ron, who had originally expressed his impassioned desire to seek justice for the king, was instantly silenced.
"King, we Behemoths naturally dare not make decisions for you..."
"I think you are quite brave. I haven't said whether I am satisfied or not... You have to take them to give me an explanation. You still don't dare to make decisions for me?"
Ron: "..."
"King, is there any need to say this? Larry has committed a crime, and he must be punished."
"Oh, according to what you said, what crime did he commit? Let me hear it." Zhou Fengliu continued to ask back.
"This is already very obvious, assassinating you and taking someone else's life for one's own selfish desires is wrong and unforgivable. It is a crime that we Behemoths cannot agree with."
