Realm of Power

A boundless silence enveloped the Weisiya harbor at dusk. The sun, which was about to sink below the horizon, spit out its glow before being swallowed up by the earth, dyeing the western sky red.

Du Yu stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window of the hotel room, watching an airliner fly over the sky high above the building. Using the advantage of aura to look down from a high place, Du Yu could see the loopholes in the surrounding high-rise buildings, and the snipers with live ammunition controlled them. He looked at all the high-rise buildings within a radius of at least 500 meters. I just didn’t know if the people marching below knew.

As a famous free city in the world, there are dense pedestrians on the streets and a group of excited music lovers gathered in the square. Countless red and blue flags are hung on the roadside and in shops. Some people spontaneously organize parade performances. , the crowd followed the band singing and dancing in joyful laughter. Beautiful girls in colorful dresses dance gracefully. Weixia's Carnival has always been one of the world's famous tourist attractions.

Although this place is ruled by warlords, it is precisely because of this that the free atmosphere and special policies have allowed more materials, funds, giant companies, businessmen, and speculators in the market to gather here, bringing greater benefits to Wei Xiya. of prosperity. As the landmark building of Weixia, it is the huge spire personally planned by the first emperor of the Falcon Empire three hundred years ago. It was a symbol of the power and glory of the imperial navy that once conquered the world. It is now the world-famous Weixia music. eye-catching background for the festival,

Du Yu stood in the room on the 87th floor of the famous Imperial Hotel in Weixia. The feeling of overlooking everything was very novel. In this era, he was just a college student who had never even left the country. The only time he traveled far was to go to college. He chose a far away city, but even so, he still encountered huge obstacles from his family. But now, he was standing behind the glass of the Presidential Suite of the Imperial Hotel in Weixia, thousands of miles away from home.

Although he has only been here for a day, Du Yu has been able to roughly understand some of the situation. For some reason, the receptionist from the Undercover especially reminded him to be careful of people from the Imperial Bank, "In order to let you You have the ability to fight against the other seven royal families. This time the Imperial Bank will arrange someone as your deputy, but you still need to know that the people in the Imperial Bank are not trustworthy. They are cold and ruthless and only invest in valuable things. Once If you lose your value, they will abandon you without hesitation.”

"Will my deputy come to the island with me?" Du Yu asked calmly.

"Even the deputy is not qualified to go to the island, but they can prepare everything you need. As long as you want, you can put it forward. You must believe in the ability of the Imperial Bank in this regard.

"Any conditions?" Du Yu blinked.

"Yes, you must know that once you go to the island, you may not be able to come back, so you can do as much as you want before going to the island... For example, the Imperial Bank can do a lot of things you can't think of, such as your favorite female celebrities!" The person receiving the reception was a middle-aged man with a stern face. He was joking and his eyebrows with a scar were raised slightly when he said this. His tone was full of hints. "Well, I'll think about it." "

Du Yu smiled at the corner of his mouth. He knew that this middle-aged man was called Luo Musheng. He was the manager of the Imperial Hotel in name, but secretly one of the middle-level members of the Dark Thorns. It seemed that the Dark Thorns did not think highly of him either. However, facing the painstaking efforts of the seven royal families, Du Yu smiled. A top person trained, I, who was just an ordinary student a few days ago, really don’t have anything worthy of special attention, or it would be a little special to fight Poisonous Wolf in the hospital, but for people like the Dark Assassin and the Seven Royal Family For top-level beings, that's not just a sign of good luck.

If it were him, he wouldn't think so highly of himself!

Not to mention, among the people who entered Robbensam Island this time, he was the only outsider. There were seven others. Although they came from the seven royal families, they were from the same bloodline. Although Hidden Thorn also I took a blood sample from myself, but I also knew that my blood should not be royal blood. It was really a natural disadvantage! He is everyone's enemy as soon as he appears!

"What's worse, if we get in, we'll all be killed!"

Du Yu's eyes flashed with a chill. He had already figured out the background of the seven royal families by talking to the middle-aged man who was receiving the reception.

The so-called seven royal families are actually the internal names of the Dark Assassins. To be honest, they are the royal families of the seven kingdoms. The huge Falcon Empire was split due to national liberation, but it does not mean that the royal family of the Falcon Empire was completely overthrown. , in addition to the current Falcon Royal Family that retreated back to Ikadiva Island, there were six other branches of the Falcon Royal Family that followed the general trend and quickly left the king. Mainly taking the road of constitutionalism, these six constitutional monarchy countries are Camferrussi in the Europa continent, Sosia in Gaul, Naqergan Feishan, Dofesiyaero, and Zhongbia in the Central Biya region. Although these royal families have announced their withdrawal from the political arena, they still control considerable power in the country's financial and military influence.

According to the receptionist of the assassination, the original division of the empire was not caused by so-called ethnic conflicts, but by the conflict over controlling rights between the Imperial Bank and the Imperial Royal Family. Although the Imperial Royal Family was the founder of the Imperial Bank, the Imperial Bank In the following hundred years, not only did it attract more forces to join, but the imperial royal family only occupied a slightly larger share than other forces.

This was originally a good thing. The empire was vast. As the territory expanded, the area that the empire could actually control was limited after all. Therefore, the Imperial Bank was used as a link to bring all the forces together and use the same interests to stabilize the empire. central position and strengthen its influence on other member countries. This is also a strategy for the empire to unify the forces of all parties.

However, with the greed of the Falcon royal family, in the more than fifty years of the late empire, the Imperial royal family repeatedly usurped the interests of the members of the Imperial Bank, and even later wanted to completely control the Imperial Bank, which eventually triggered a collective conflict among the member countries of the Imperial Bank. A massive counterattack, the powerful empire collapsed internally overnight. Resistance to the empire surged from all over the country. The imperial army suppressed it everywhere, and finally collapsed.

But it does not mean that the empire has completely lost its existence. The seven royal families are the seven largest countries among them, and there are as many as seventy or eighty forces that have split from the Falcon royal family in various continents. They are still the empire. The member states of the bank also experienced turmoil. The Imperial Bank completely broke away from the control of the imperial royal family and became a global financial giant.

"As long as the Imperial Bank expresses its support for you, the seven royal families will not dare to touch you."

Du Yu looked at the red clouds outside the window and looked at the receptionist who was leaving. He glanced at "a group of disdainful descendants!" There is no eternal empire. In fact, a large part of the original intention of establishing the Imperial Bank was to do it for himself. The descendants of the family can find a way out. The empire can collapse, but finance is difficult. As long as the Imperial Bank does not collapse, their family will really Positive control will not be shaken to the foundation. He transferred 30% of the shares of the Imperial Bank to the Imperial Family to prepare for this. He later hid the 30% of the shares in Robbensam Island. , probably because of this consideration, the biggest confusion about this kind of time and space travel is that you don’t know what you did when! What is the reason!

The next morning, Du Yu woke up from a knock on the door. In order to verify the identity of the people who landed on the island and make necessary preparations, Du Yu was told that he would not land on the island until three days.

"People from the Imperial Bank have arrived, do you want to see them now?"

Luo Musheng said with a complicated expression, an inexplicable luster flashing in his eyes, as if he wanted to say something, but he had some scruples. He was only a middle-level employee of Anshen, and he did not agree with the agreement between Ansang and the senior management of Imperial Bank. I know the content, but I just think about asking the young man in front of me to make sacrifices. I feel a little regretful in my heart. My son should be the same age.

Under Du Yu's slightly astonished gaze, Luo Musheng smiled bitterly and shrugged his shoulders and said, "Although I am a member of the Undercover, I am not a cold-blooded mercenary. I am a civilian in charge of logistics. The Undercover is responsible for funding." In addition to the notorious war mercenaries, a large part comes from industry, such as several large luxury hotels and 30% of the casinos in the city of Weixia, which require specialized personnel to take care of them. "

"Take me to meet you so that I can be prepared." Du Yu nodded to Luo Musheng. After a little preparation, the two of them walked out of the room and walked into the elevator. Luo Musheng stretched out his finger and pressed the button of the elevator.

Brush, the ladder began to rise rapidly, and the tiny scenery on the ground became even tinier.

"The Imperial Bank has booked the entire top floor of thirty-seven rooms."

Luo Musheng explained that the wealthy Imperial Bank was indeed so domineering everywhere. Du Yu took a deep breath with a calm expression. He founded the Imperial Bank, and it was expected that it would develop to this level. , at this moment, he suddenly understood why he put 30% of the documents on Robbensam Island, because Because only by having been here can we know how powerful the Imperial Bank will be in the future and what the 30% share represents. Even Du Yu himself said secretly, "If you go back again, you must transfer the Imperial Bank's share." The documents are sent to Robbensam Island, because looking at the world, it is the only place that is safe and the place where even the Imperial Bank cannot get it."

With a "ding" sound, the elevator stopped and the door opened. Du Yu followed Luo Musheng out of the elevator. The land he landed on was golden, and the floor was paved with gold foil. Every three meters stood a black man with a loaded gun. When I saw Luo Musheng coming out, a man in black came over to lead the way.

"Miss, I've been waiting for you in the exercise room for a long time!" Heiyi said while leading the way.

"Exercise room?" Luo Musheng's expression changed slightly,

"Bang bang bang" a fierce sound came from a huge training room in front. The man in black stopped and opened the door.

Under the bright white light, a graceful figure seemed to be filled with endless explosive power. A ray of green light instantly exploded into countless light groups in the figure's hand. The eyes were filled with dazzling flashes, and it felt like a human being. It's like entering another world. Although this is the top floor of the hotel, it actually occupies a large area. In the huge space, there are actually all kinds of iron weapons and even armor with cold light. What is coming is a layer of chilling.

"The training room is also called the cold weapon collection room. It contains all kinds of cold weapons that have been passed down since the time of the first emperor of the Falcon Empire." Luo Musheng explained to Du Yu behind him with an embarrassed look. "You know, although now It is already the age of hot weapons, but there are still many people who are obsessed with cold weapons, not to mention that the era of these cold weapons is coming. The treasures from the time of the first Falcon Emperor who fought countless battles, and even some of the weapons came from the collection of the Falcon royal family. The only pity is that although the First Falcon Emperor fought countless battles, he rarely used weapons. Otherwise, if Being able to collect a weapon personally used by the first Falcon Emperor will be the real treasure of the Imperial Hotel!”

"What a good sword. I never thought it would still be so sharp three hundred years later."

With a delicate sigh, the figure dancing with blue light stopped. It was a young girl. She was about eighteen or twenty years old. Her black hair was as long as clouds and waterfalls, reaching to her back vest. She followed her freely. The movements are fluttering and dancing, extremely free and unrestrained. The figure is even more beautiful, tall and graceful. Under the long eyelashes as beautiful as the crescent moon, the slender and clear eyes are shining, and the movements are full of mechanical beauty, elegant and beautiful. The most astonishing thing is her forward and backward movements, which reveal an air of leisurely elegance, ease and lightness, which is pleasing to the eye. As the sword light gathers, her figure becomes independent, like an immortal descending to earth, which is extremely shocking and moving. It was the young woman who was next to the old woman at the Imperial Bank yesterday.

"Luo Musheng, I bought this sword. You can write the money as you like. Fill out the check and send it to the Imperial Bank." The woman turned around and handed the sword to a middle-aged man who was standing aside without giving Luo Musheng any money. There is no room for denial when opening one's mouth, which is a habit of those who are always in a superior position. After the woman finished talking about Luo Musheng, her eyes slightly glanced at Du Yu who was standing next to Luo Musheng, and a hint of disdain flashed through her arrogant eyes.

"Are you Du Yu? I am your deputy Dai Lan. You can make any requests, and Imperial Bank can handle them." Thinking that the other party was just a little-known college student, the woman felt that talking too much was a waste of expression. , she said in a deep voice with cold and arrogant eyes, "And I believe Luo Musheng has told you that only our Imperial Bank can protect you. As long as you do what we say honestly, our Imperial Bank will be enough to make you rich and prosperous for your whole life afterwards."

"Miss Dailan, I'm afraid I can't be the master of this place. Every collection here is the best collection of Dark Thorns. If you let me take it away, I..." Luo Musheng's face was pale. Many of the weapons here are... Many of the origins are weapons used by the empire's generals, and the Sino-Bian sword that the woman is interested in has a rather famous name: "Mingyue Sword" It is the sword of Princess Mingyue, the last eldest princess of the Zhongbia royal family who turned the tide and saved Zhongbia from splitting. Moreover, it is said that the Mingyue sword has the seal of the first emperor of the Falcon Empire. This alone is It can no longer be described as priceless. Princess Mingyue played a major role in the history of Central and South-Bia, and has been hailed as the number one woman in Central-Bia!

"Luo Musheng, even the secretly stabbed Mo Li wouldn't dare to say this to me." Dailan snorted with a cold expression on her pretty face.

"You seemed to say just now that you are my deputy?" At this time, Du Yu walked up and took a look at Dai Lan.

"Okay, what do you want to say?" Dailan's pretty face was slightly stunned. She knew how powerful her aura was. Most of her subordinates would not dare to breathe when they saw her aura, let alone a college student like Du Yu who had just left home. , but the other party acted so naturally at this moment, and even suppressed his own momentum. How could this be possible!

"Change the sword back, that's what I want you to do." Du Yu's lips tightened slightly. "Don't forget, you are just the deputy during this period, I have the final say."

"Okay, but it's a pity that I don't have the sword in my hand. If you have the ability, just let him return it."

To Du Yu's expectation, Dai Lan's charming face poofed, and her figure suddenly stepped back in an extremely strong and vigorous manner. She was breathtakingly beautiful, and her soft eye sockets made her eyes bright and bright, and she was straight and straight. The two cherry lips under her nose are plump and bright red, and her ever-present smile makes her features even more picturesque, with a childlike look in her eyes. If I hadn’t known the previous information, I would have thought she was an innocent and kind woman.

"Then I'm not welcome." Du Yu said with a smile. He looked at Dai Lan's subordinate who was holding the sword, and stretched out his hand to grab the sword. He was a middle-aged man, wearing a toga, with a face like His body is long and narrow, his cheeks are so thin that they are sunken, his nose is long and his lips are thin, and his eyebrows are The distance between the eyes is wider than that of ordinary people, and the face is cold and cold. It seems that he has never smiled since he was born. He should look like a hanged ghost but looks like a human being. I don’t know how the facial features work together to create an ugly aesthetic charm, forming a kind of ugly beauty. His aloof and arrogant demeanor is impressive. He was about twenty-seven or eighty-years-old, but he gave off the air of an old man who had gone through many vicissitudes of life. He was tall, slender, and indescribably lonely and arrogant, like a man in a fairyland.

Looking at Du Yu's stretched out hand, the man's eyes flashed with disdain, and a cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. An ordinary person also wanted to take something from his hand. What a joke. If you don't give me some clues, you are in Dai. It was too shameless in front of Miss Lan. He deliberately stretched the sword to Du Yu's hand, and then a billowing dragon-like air flow spurted out along the sword body. If the opponent made a solid contact, he would be ejected, at least Dislocated arm that can be shot

“Bang” was a sound like a gas explosion, giving people the feeling that the space was compressed and then suddenly released. Whoosh, whoosh, a figure spun like a thatch broken by a storm, flew three meters away and hit the wall hard. The wall cracked like a spider web, and the person fell to the ground like a puddle of mud.

Dailan was dumbfounded, and the corners of her mouth with a cunning smile froze. What was going on? It was her subordinates who flew out, and the young man she looked down on was holding the other end of the sword firmly with one hand.
