Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 137: The Scourge of Civil War

"Sigh, the food in the academy's restaurant is just unpleasant to eat. Something like this can be called steak!"

Adele was furiously stirring the black pepper juice on the steak with her silver fork, and her eyebrows were almost knitted together, venting her dissatisfaction with the food. Alan, who was sitting opposite her, had no trouble doing so. He used his knife to cut the steak into fine pieces and fed them to his mouth at almost constant speed. Adele put down her knife and fork, crossed her fingers under her chin, and looked at Ellen, who was enjoying his meal. "I wonder how you got there. It would be a disaster if their steak was fried so badly, or if the quality of the cook in Castle Ugarte was about the same as here."

Alan wiped out another piece of beef and shook his head, "If you had lived on the ground for ten years, you would have been like me. You wouldn't have bothered to care about the heat or the taste of the food. On the surface, it would have been nice to have something to eat."

Picking up a doughnut to serve as a side dish, Ellen shook it and said, "Things like this, you only use them as decorations or as a backdrop." After the meal, they are thrown away or flowed to the surface through another channel. My mother, on the other hand, spends a lot of her savings every year on food that my mai drops from babylon to the ground because they are virtually uncontaminated. To me, a doughnut is the whole definition of happiness! "

Alan put the doughnut in his mouth and ate it at an incredibly slow pace. When the bread is grinded through the chewing of the gums, the fragrance of wheat seems to bring back time.

But there was no going back!

Alan's heart ached and his attention returned to this moment. When Adele saw that she was cutting off a piece of beef and putting it in her mouth, Alan shook his head and said, "We grew up in a different environment. If you really can't eat it, you don't have to force it."

Adele shook her head and said, "It's none of your business. There's no reason why I can't eat something that even Auntie Lanny can eat. This is To Auntie Lanny!"

She put a piece of beef into her mouth and bit it down hard.

The dinner ended in a pleasant atmosphere, and it was a good meal, except for Adele, who complained from time to time that the beef was so old that it made her gnash her teeth. After dinner, Adele took Ellen to the gate of the academy.

"Where are we going?" Alan asked.

Adele blinked her eyes and said, "Sister will take you to (open) (open) your eyes."

"Tell the truth." Ellen said unhappily.

'"Well, well," said Adele with a pitiful expression, "there's a duel at the Venus Hotel tonight, without restrictions. Guests can place/place any bets on it, without capping it. Well, would you like to see it? It's not always possible to see a duel like this."

Alan frowned and said, "I thought this kind of bloody fight would only be held in Black Street."

"Of course not. After all, it is against the federal constitution and is therefore confined to a limited circle. The amount of money I bet will not be small. As long as I win a bet, it will be enough for me to spend a year's worth of petty cash. I think you've been so lucky lately. You just got two tickets from that guy Leon. "I accompanied you to a meal just now. Do you have to be my bodyguard for free? Big sister, I have a lot of money with me!"

Alan asked casually, "How much did you bring?"

"Ten million," whispered Adele in his ear, "all the assets I have at my disposal are here."

"So many!" Alan was really shocked. He had recently received millions from Leon, and he already felt like he was dreaming. Now that Adele was running around with tens of millions of dollars in her hands, she felt that she was nothing to be reckoned with.

"There's not much left. It's mainly a small amount of money I earned from some guy's investment in the past." Adele smiled until her eyebrows curved. That person was naturally Ellen in front of her.

"Let's go, let's go. I heard Venus even invited a soul singer to sing tonight. He's a newly-rising Heavenly King Superstar. He missed it when he arrived late." Adele dragged Ellen out of the academy.

Outside the entrance of the academy, a flying car with the Mosen family logo had been waiting for orders for a long time. Ellen was furious. This girl had clearly planned it out a long time ago. After the two of them got into the car, the flying car started and drove them to the Venus Hotel.

Driving in the bustling streets of Babylon, buildings on both sides of the road were brightly lit, and neon lights of all colors flickered with blurry colors. The well-dressed people, the endless traffic, the towering buildings and the rainbow lights all told of the prosperity of Babylon. The floating island and the earth's surface were like two worlds, one was heaven and the other was hell.

"Did you know that Babylon had a different name at the beginning?" Said Adele suddenly.

Alan turned his gaze from the bustle outside the window and landed on adele, waiting for the rest.

"The ark " whispered Adele. "It carries the original vision. It was built to keep people away from the radiated ground. It is the ark that keeps people away from disaster. Unfortunately, creatures like humans would have power when too many people came together. Power, on the other hand, always served a few people. As a result, those in power had driven large numbers of people out of the ark under the pretext of overpopulation. After taking over the floating island, it was renamed Babylon God's Sky Garden. "

"Is this the origin of the conflict between the floating island and the surface?" Alan asked.

Adele nodded and said, "The hatred will spread, and the change of time will not erase the original hatred. As time passes, the hatred will grow larger with the addition of other ingredients. One day, it will erupt in full force. When the time comes perhaps there will be a civil war?"

"That's really bad."

"It is indeed terrible. However, these questions will give the big shots a headache." Adele waved her fist gently as if she was going to drive something away.

The Confederate Civil War was a problem that no one wanted to mention, but its hidden dangers were real. In the end, it only involved the interests of the federal government and the wealthy aristocrats. In this regard, they will never compromise and will only make symbolic concessions. However, concessions were not enough for the people in this situation. Unless they were allowed to come into contact with the core of their interests, the contradictions would not be resolved, and the resentment would be hard to calm down.

This was the crux of the matter.

Allen came from the surface and lived in Babylon for nearly two years. He understood the great difference between the two worlds better than anyone else. But, as Adele said, power always belongs to a small part of the population, and the interests are the same. No wealthy family would be willing to split their assets equally among the people on the surface, so conflicts would only get more intense with each passing day.

In the event of a civil war, a clan disciple like Allen would naturally want to protect his clan. However, what the saber and sword were aiming at was people who were fighting for their own reasonable rights and interests. In such a war, who was right and who was wrong, and who could say it clearly.

In comparison, the expedition to the Outer Realm was much simpler.

The colonial invasion had only two outcomes. First, the victor is the king, controlling the entire planet, turning it into one of the profit chains, providing resources and enormous profits for himself and his family. The second was that the invasion failed, and they were killed by the planet's natives, and their souls were cut off from the foreign land.

Either way, it's much simpler than standing in the middle of the Confederate Civil War.

Allen recalled the first lesson in basic warfare that day, when his mentor Professor Randolph once said, "War is never just!"

The Venus Hotel is here.

The car entered the underground parking lot. Inside, Adele rubbed her hands and said, "Tonight, big sister will definitely kill all directions. She will beat it to the brim. Otherwise, she will not leave tonight!"

"I can't tell you're still a gambler," Allen laughed.

"Little bet, Yiqing."

Alan shook his head. "Bring ten million and call it a small bet " At this time, the flying car stopped. The two of them were about to get out of the car when a strong light suddenly lit up behind the car. Alan narrowed his eyes and saw the silhouette of a flying car approaching them in the light.

A crisis suddenly arose!

"Be careful, get out of the car quickly." Alan shouted.

The two of them hurriedly knocked on the car door and pounced out almost at the same time. Before they could land, a heavy crash sounded from behind them, followed by the sound of the window shattering. Alan rolled and bounced up from the ground, and saw a flying car almost shoveling into the back of Adele's carriage, and the driver in the front seat was lying on the steering wheel, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

The wind blew. Two black-clothed men suddenly rushed down from the car and attacked Allen. Both of them had their seals engraved on them. Clearly, they were at the level of Level 11 or Level 2.

In his spare time, Alan glanced at Adele and saw four people pouncing on the girl. It was obvious that this killing was set up for Adele. If it was for Alan, he would have sent four people on his side now. Who was so bold as to dare to attack the young miss of the Morsen family? You must know that Adele is a direct blood relative of the Morsons!

Time did not allow Ellen to think about it, for she had not brought her fangs with her because of Adele's sudden invitation. All over his body, only the devil praise behind his waist could be used. Alan pulled out his dagger without hesitation. With a thought, the jewel at the handle of the dagger flew out in all directions. The dagger/head immediately elongated, and a scarlet color covered the blade. As the pitch-black vein formed, it immediately completed the transformation of the Tier 1 Blood Hymn.

Alan held the blood-red knife in his hand and suddenly crashed into the two black-clothed men. Suddenly, a small ball of red light burst out from his embrace. The two black-clothed men cried out in surprise. Before he could even activate his ability, Allen's fireworks-like saber light was wounded, and he was struck by the saber with one left and the other right!

On the other side, the battle between Adele and the four men in black had reached the point where life and death were decided. The eldest young miss of the Morsen Clan was proficient in long-range sniping and killing, but her close combat skills were really average. The four black-clothed men each wielded short blades and formed their own tactics between advancement and retreat, clearly proficient in joint combat. In just a few breaths' time, Adele had been cut in many places on her body. Fortunately, she was still calm enough, and at the critical moment, she had to exchange her injuries for wounds to survive until now.

Seeing that she was about to reach her limit, the saber aura surged, and Adele's eyes lit up with joy.

Alan had arrived!

VIP Chapter Forecast:

"After tonight, no matter where we are, we will be best friends and brothers. If anyone betrays anyone, they will be mercilessly slaughtered by the other three!"

"Fight for me. As a reward, I will give you your freedom."

"The Highlanders are never afraid to go to war, but you must keep your promise. Otherwise, I will dig out your heart and offer it to Odin!"

"We're already surrounded! This is a trap!"

"Long time no see, Ellen. The person you asked me to inquire about has some background. He knows Archimedes' person. He's "

"Black Iron Town!"
