Chapter 85 Black Flash! (Please vote for the 6K chapter)

Upper Kyoto metropolitan area.

In early winter, the sun above our heads hangs like a warm boiled egg over the building. The pale yellow light shining in from the huge floor-to-ceiling windows has lost its temperature, and the wind from the upper floors pours into the windows, bringing a slight chill.

Top of the World Bank building.

An old man in a furry coat walked to the window, closed the window, and sat back on the black office chair that had been with him for many years. The leather on the armrests on both sides of the chair had experienced countless years of friction and baptism, and became rusty.

There are some old wrinkles, just like the wrinkles on the face of an old man sitting on a chair.

Despite this, no one dared to look down upon the tall old man in front of him.

Including the man sitting in the dim light opposite the video on the LCD screen on the wall at this time - one of the twelve adjudicators of the Judgment Division, the most powerful official violence organization of the world government, an eighth-level demigod level ability user, and the 11th adjudicator Ma.

Cass Rhine.

The old man sitting on the chair in front of him is Betancourt Bart, the current patriarch of the Tianhu Bart family, the nine great families of heaven and humans who control most of the world's government financial industry, and the current president of the World Bank.

Bettencourt Bart picked up the cup on the table next to him and took a sip. After putting down the cup, he placed his hands flat on the chair. He looked at the video phone with a gentle face and said, "Actually, our goals are the same.

, and there will be no conflicts during the execution process.”

On the other end of the video communication, Marcus Rhine narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Is there no conflict? How did I hear that some pirates are recklessly causing terrorist incidents in New Tokyo and interfering with the execution of official duties by my inquisitors?"

"Interference?"

Occasionally, light flashed through the old man's cloudy eyes, revealing a kind of wisdom that could see through the world. "In my opinion, it was just assistance, maybe the means and methods were a little rough."

Marcus Rhine was silent for a moment.

He did not say "How many innocent humans will lose their lives with your crude assistance", because their race and status determine that they cannot care about this in their hearts. Such high-sounding words will only make people feel hypocritical.

So Rhine paused and just said, "Perhaps without this kind of assistance, Judge Mick can complete the task better."

"Judge Mick?"

The old man hesitated for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face, "Is he the mixed-race kid back then? I didn't expect him to be able to take charge of his own business."

Marcus Rhine said softly, "At the peak of level 7 and level 5, Mick has already achieved domain contraction. If he can successfully advance to level 8 in his lifetime, I am ready to let him take over my position."

"Speaking of which, that child has a somewhat stubborn and upright personality. If the person you send to assist conflicts with him, it will be very difficult for him, so I advise you."

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the old man waving his hand with a smile on his face.

"The peak of level 7 and 5. It is indeed a very amazing talent."

The old man smiled and stroked the leather on the armrest of the office chair, "But if there is a conflict, I think you should worry about Mick's child. I may have forgotten to mention that the pirate sent out to assist this time is Sky Snake.

Thiago Murphy, a side branch of the family, has mastered the use of compound abilities."

Compound ability?

Marcus Rhine couldn't help but frown slightly.

If a seventh-level absolute ability user wants to climb to the fifth level of the peak, he must understand the secret of [Field Shrinking] from [Field Expansion]. Only in this way can he lay the foundation for attacking the power of [Rules] controlled by an eighth-level demigod level ability user.

.

For people with absolute abilities who have their own racial talents, after the seventh-level peak realizes the shrinkage of the field, a small number of extremely talented people can still understand the subtleties between their own racial talents and awakened talents.

Completing the compounding of talents and abilities, one's strength has also been improved to a higher level, and it may even help to break through the mountain-like barrier above the peak of the seventh level and advance to the eighth level.

The old man noticed Rhine's silence and tapped the armrest with his fingers. After a moment, he suddenly said straight to the point, "I wonder if Judge Rhine has considered other successors, such as the child from the side branch of the Tian Serpent clan.

Thiago Murphy?”

Is this old fox going to embed his own power in the Adjudication Department?

Marcus Rhine raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Can a pirate also be a judge? You must be kidding, right?"

"what differences are there?"

The old man said meaningfully, and then added, "If Thiago of the Sky Serpent clan can turn from darkness to light, then we will not only have one more powerful successor to rule, but at the same time there will be one less person in the sea to the west.

Enemy, I believe that the Rhine Advocate, like me, does not want to see another 'Corleone' on the Western Sea."

Corleone Pirates.

One of the newly promoted "Four Kings of the West Sea".

The man who broke out of the Nine Celestial Clan and is now a heroic hero on the sea. He is an out-and-out legend among the pirates in the West Sea and among the legends within the World Government. He is also a figure that makes the World Government

It’s a headache but also someone you have to cooperate with from time to time.

If Thiago Murphy really masters the compound ability at the peak of the seventh level, then he is really a talented person. If he continues to grow at this momentum, he may really become the "Four Kings of the West Sea" in the next generation.

Marcus Rhine actually knows it very well.

No matter what personal motives the old fox of the Bart family had, he was right on this point.

The reputation of the Tiago Pirates is countless times worse than that of the Corleone Pirates. If he really becomes a climate in the West Sea, it will undoubtedly not be good news for the World Government. Instead of growing like that and entering the Eighth

Before the stage, a twelve-point ruling was used to secure the successor's position, which was undoubtedly a win-win situation for the World Government.

But what about that boy Mick Joya?

His talent is also very good.

Marcus Rhine frowned, feeling a little uncertain in his heart.

The old man on the other end of the video communication was not in a hurry when he saw this. He picked up the tea cup with a gentle smile on his face and waited for the decision of the judge opposite.

Others say that the Bart family, which controls the financial lifeline of the world, is the most calculating among the nine families.

In fact, who in this world is not calculating?

It's just that others are calculating interests.

And they calculated

It's the human heart.

After a while, Rhine on the other end of the video communication seemed to have made a decision, and said with some relief:

"This matter can be discussed later. The mission of Wano Country should be regarded as their first competition. If there is a conflict between Mick and Thiago during this operation to arrest the person who assassinated Representative Hope, they will really lose.

, then he may no longer be able to compete for the position of the Eleventh Judge."

After hearing his words, a smile appeared on the old man's face, and he nodded slightly and was about to say something.

Unexpectedly, at this time, a message came from the secretary's office downstairs.

"Sorry, I have something to do."

"As you please."

After cutting off Rhine's communication, the old man of the Bart family opened the message sent by the secretary unhurriedly.

Suddenly, the gentle smile on his wrinkled face gradually faded away.

"Need to access the news footage we receive?"

"Get in."

Following the old man's cold words, the picture on the high-definition LCD screen in front of him changed, and the live news from the TV station appeared. The logo on the upper right side of the screen was [Fuji TV].

"Hello everyone, I am Kawasaki Ayano. According to the latest news from the front, today's sudden terrorist incident at Takehara Minami Private Academy has been brought under control. Oh, our aerial reporter on the helicopter has sent the latest live footage. Someone

He was carried out, and he seemed to be the leader of the terrorists."

Following the reporter's words, the camera suddenly pulled down.

I saw a corpse hurriedly carried out at the door of a building with a mess on the ground. The woolen coat on the corpse was in tatters and almost chopped into pieces. The lower body was wearing nine-point pants and pointed shoes. There was a faint blue on the head.

His short hair is very eye-catching.

Of course, what is more eye-catching is his tragic situation at this time.

Countless bloody holes were opened all over his body like a hundred flowers blooming, and the dripping and broken flesh was turned outwards. It looked like the whole person was bloody and bloody, and the state of death was horrible to watch.

This news is transmitted to the video signal of Shangjing Tianren Special Zone through a special channel, so there is no mosaic commonly seen in TV broadcasts.

The old man's face was quiet, and he stared at the familiar face of the corpse in the news picture with slightly squinted eyes. He vaguely remembered that the two had a brief video call half a month ago.

In that video call, he only paid a small cost and got a "mad dog" with unlimited potential.

And now, that mad dog died in a tiny place like Wano Country.

boom!

The water glass in the old man's hand suddenly shattered, and the tea splashed everywhere.

The communication section on the screen in front of him switched back again, and Marcus Rhine's face appeared.

As the top task of the World Government's Judgment Department, it is impossible for Marcus Rhine to not have his own intelligence network. At this time, he was obviously aware of what happened in a private academy in New Tokyo, Wano, just a moment ago.

"It's a pity that the one you were optimistic about seems to have no chance to participate in the competition for succession. He died at the hands of this target."

"It's a pity."

The old man's tone became a little cold.

"But I think what we should be paying attention to now is the guy from Wano who insulted the majesty of the world government. He wore a mask and tried to break the rules of this world again and again. Is the Adjudication Department still planning to send only one task force?

?”

After hearing the old man's words, Marcus Rhine also fell silent.

There is no doubt that the guy from Wano who calls himself the "Commissioner of Discipline Inspection" is too dangerous and has repeatedly challenged the majesty of the World Government.

To put it more seriously, it even threatens the foundation of the world government's rule.

You need to know why the world government has been able to rule more than 300 countries across two continents for nearly a thousand years, and even though there has been constant turmoil, there has never been any fundamental problem?

On the one hand, it relies on the powerful force of the heavenly beings behind it, and on the other hand, it relies on the majesty that the world government has accumulated in more than 300 allied countries over the past millennium and cannot be violated in the slightest!

But now, the news will soon spread around the world again.

If the World Government cannot quickly deal with it with thunderous means and allows this incident to happen again and again, it will undoubtedly set a "bad example" for the forces in other allied countries that are ready to take action.

"This is not a good sign."
