Overturned Tower

When the public opinion brewed strong wine... Under the excitement of the public, Tokifat could logically tell Tianen Daily that he would give up "Tiansheng".
Once the director behind Tiansong chooses to abandon him, the media can take action.In the blink of an eye, Tiansong will be beaten by everyone, and no one will regard him as a hero anymore. All the convenient things that Tiansong did in the name of a hero before will become iron crimes in the liquidation.
He didn't even have to defend himself at all.
Under the irrefutable evidence recorded by the media in the past, Tiansong could be directly exiled to land without any excuse or trial.
——Because this is called "all expectations".Not even a dragon would refute it.
That's what the title "hero" is for.
One of the things the elves have been trying to do since the Sky Age is to stigmatize and commercialize the word "hero".When people think of "heroes", they first think of fame and fortune, idols and overturned cars, so it is difficult for anyone in the crowd to have that kind of appeal.
Once someone's influence reaches a certain level, someone will definitely jump out to oppose it—what, you want to be a "hero"?
At that time, people will naturally act as if suddenly enlightened and flee in all directions.
At the same time, elves will use heroes to do things they want to do but dare not do.
Because on the bright side, heroes have nothing to do with these directors at all.
If the level is a little higher, then we can clearly know who is behind these heroes.
It is precisely because there is a step of public opinion in it, and the results are obtained after the fermentation of public opinion, so people think that these heroes have their own power to participate in the fame and abandonment of these heroes, and in the end it will naturally happen. There is a sense of satisfaction in mastering great power.
——But in fact, whether it is the hero's fame or abandonment, it has nothing to do with these public opinions.
They become famous because the directors rely on their strength to do something, or to take the blame.
Heroes are treated so well, too well, just to make people jealous.
Everyone has flaws, and there is no such thing as a perfect saint.
It is only through selective exposure that the good deeds and bad deeds of these "heroes" are exposed separately - if only the good ones are reported, then he becomes an idol; if only the bad ones are reported, he becomes a sinner.
This has never been the result of public opinion decisions, let alone the power of the people.
This is the power of the media.And this power is held in the board of directors of the head office.
Originally, the fake director of Toki Fate, his and Tiansong's positions were vague.
Let's say it's an enemy, and it's impossible for Russell to really kill him; let's say it's an ally, they don't even know each other's existence.
——Since killing Camalthe, Russell's first reaction when facing the sack made by the highest level of the board of directors has become "can you find a chance to let Bad Day kill him".Every time I find that this person cannot be killed or is not easy to kill, I can't help but sigh.
There is no friendship at all between Russell and Tokifat. If both parties know the existence of the other party, they will wish to kill the other party, but they are afraid of something and dare not make a move; they also have similar positions and will be killed. The same thing is destroyed, so they even have to cover each other in the general direction; but if there is a chance to kill each other without paying any price, they will do it without hesitation; before that, they all want to hide themselves To expose the opponent's existence and shortcomings, and to weaken the opponent's strength as much as possible...
This kind of feeling can hardly be regarded as the title of "old enemy" which is full of juvenile style.
Instead, it can be called with a more copper-smelling name...for example, "friend businessman".
Now that Tovatus, the person who wants to turn the table, has entered the arena, it is time to have a meeting with friends and businessmen.
Otherwise, if they are not united enough, and the fun guy Tovatus really overturns the table, then everyone will suffer together...the fight will be more intense.
So Russell asked Delphinium to call Torquay again.
But it was different from what she first thought.
Russell did not let Delphinium contact Skysend through Torquay.
He made an appointment directly with Director Torquay.
It is quite difficult to make an appointment with a director of the head office.But fortunately, Russell has another identity...
"Just say, Amirus has something to ask you."
Russell replied: "Sent Russell to see you."
——He is about to start to use his strength to fight.
After all, no matter what, he is still the "hero" awarded by the director of Amirus in name.
The result was also as Russell expected.
After Russell reported the name "Amirus", his appointment went very smoothly.It could even make Tokifat drop some of the affairs, change the previous schedule, and meet directly in the afternoon of the same day-although Russell doesn't know what kind of affairs this kind of person usually has.
On the way, Russell made a trip back downtown at noon.
The bad guy is still following the strangulation... Mainly because of his hatred in the lower city, if he doesn't follow the strangulation and rely on the protection of the face fruit of the strangulation, he might be shot to death one day when he goes out.
The safety issue that never had to be considered before has now become the biggest problem for the inferior.
Facing the question from the godfather, Hanging gave a very positive answer——
"That guy Tovatus, I haven't seen him for a long time. Even the activities with the veil of ignorance have become inactive."
"Have they agreed to join the family?"
"I can only say that I have no objection. They still gave us face."
Strangled said rigorously.
And the inferior stood quietly behind the strangulation, like a silent shadow.
Under the dim light, the white lion sat in front of the godfather, and uttered a dull and slightly echoing low voice: "But I can't see their sincerity...their prosthetic body troops did not join at all. All the people who came came Some rubbish."
"Didn't we see him again after we discussed changing the organization to a 'family' and making the mercenaries a platform?"
Russell asks more precisely.
And Hanging also gave a positive answer: "Yes. But in the incident of giving away the head before, they did not lose people."
What he was talking about was the time when "angels wiped out the underground criminal organization" that was photographed by Bingshui.
Several organizations have sent out all the troops with weak control under their command, and even engulfed those smaller organizations. There are thousands of people from the Veil of Ignorance and Eternal Tribulation, and you only come here with a dozen people. ?Certainly not.
——Then what should we do if we only have more than 20?
——Then come all.
So after this battle was over, there were no other organizations in the lower city that could threaten the Veil of Ignorance, Eternal Tribulation of Reincarnation, and the White Lion Group.Because of this, the establishment of the "Family" went so smoothly...Because in the eyes of those without a code, this is actually a new organization established after Yongjie Reincarnation started and annexed the White Lion Group, and the Veil of Ignorance does not seem to object to this organization established.
Because of this, the godfather, who is also the second person of the Eternal Tribulation Reincarnation and the White Lion Group, is regarded as the actual ruler of the lower city.
Now, the de facto ruler has casually given new orders in the basement of the White Lion Group:
"Tell her after Malt Wine returns that the Veil of Ignorance has betrayed the Lower City, and Torvatus has returned to the company camp... to investigate and monitor all forces that are subordinate to or indirectly controlled by the Veil of Ignorance. The first big event after the establishment of the 'family' is about to happen, as the godfather said."
"Why don't you tell it yourself?"
"When I told her, the nature changed. It seemed like I was going to force her to do something... We went down town and emphasized personal freedom."
The godfather said slowly.
Hang Hang said sarcastically: "I'll tell her, will she be free? Can she refuse you?"
"Of course, because she rejected you. I gave her the possibility to refuse - to be able to choose what not to do, this is freedom. Refuting the orders of the godfather and refuting the orders conveyed by strangulation are completely different in nature and consequences. It's different... Malt Wine, she seems to be able to do anything for profit, but she is essentially a proud person who is almost arrogant. Since she wants face, I will give her face.
"If she chooses to do it, it's not because of my persecution, but because she thinks she needs to do it after thinking about it. I respect her personality, so that she can honestly work for me."
"...Your tone is more and more like those annoying elf directors."
Hanging's eyes were full of disgust: "Treating people as pawns..."
"Don't you want to have such power too?"
The godfather looked at him calmly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Facing the words of the godfather, Hang Hang fell silent.
The godfather said in a gentle tone: "Yes, I am also studying hard.
"Strive to learn a deeper essence when we meet next time."
Chapter 63 Psionics: The Void
When Russell was talking with Hangsha, the inferior just stood silently behind Hangsha, like a thin shadow.
The black long windbreaker that the inferior man wore outside formed a stark contrast to his pale skin.
The completely silent inferior is completely different from the irritable and indifferent temperament before.
If he looked like a "younger Kamalthe" before, then now he is like an empty and thin ghost.
It looked like the kind of man who... would appear in a run-down and haunted opera house, standing alone in the middle of the stage, directing to the empty stage behind.Like the kind of guy who stands on the dividing line between ghosts and humans.
Although the technology that can directly read brainwaves to speak has been obtained from Dr. Paradise, the inferiors are quite distrustful of this technology involving conscious interaction.
He wouldn't wear something like that unless he had to.
But as Russell and Strangling discussed Tovatus and the veil of ignorance, the inferior seemed to come alive gradually...
If you want to say it, it's like changing from a black and white line draft to a black and white manga draft.
Although it is also black and white...but the latter is like the finishing touch, as if it really exists and is fixed at the other end of the picture.
Russell glanced at the inferior, but did not speak to him directly.
He just continued to say to Stretch: "You still remember that guy Tovatus, what he said when he saw me for the first time."
"...Ah, I remember."
When Strangling said this, his complexion suddenly became gloomy.
He would never forget what Torvatus said then.
After strangling had already stood up and claimed that the barber belonged to him... Tovatus didn't give him face at all, and said bluntly that "strangling can't tolerate you", "the way of anger is too narrow for you", " Those downtown scumbags can't understand your mind," that sort of thing.
Strangling the anger at that time was like holding a tube of toothpaste tightly... If he couldn't control his strength a little bit, he would be squeezed out all at once.
...that was not slandered anger.
Quite the opposite.
Because what Torvatus said was true.The truth hurts the most.
In the end, it turned out that he really couldn't tolerate the barber.The status between them was reversed in less than a month.
It is not intended to deny the talents and plans of the Godfather.
On the contrary, Strangling recognized the godfather's ability... Because of this, the real jealousy will continue to flow out.
The godfather said slowly: "He said at the time, 'It would be nice if you were born in Uptown, then I can stand up and fight you openly.'
"He said that if he used the power of the company to encircle and suppress me, I would not survive for long. At the same time, he didn't want to release water... Considering that my ability cannot make up for the gap in resources between us, he hopes that I can Uptown, and then he came up against me.
"Tovatus thinks that's fair.
"Then, first he followed my previous plan and greatly weakened the Veil of Ignorance; then he didn't deny my authority, and just watched me get permission for the lower city... It can be said that he was even helping me. "
The previous death of Kamalthe had something to do with Tovatus.
Morgan's successful revenge is also related to Torvatus' shelter and help.
The godfather said in a deep voice: "But that help was not based on complete goodwill. His ultimate goal was to entertain himself.
"He seems to have found a card game that is difficult to get started but very interesting. So he carefully taught me how to play this game, paid for me to configure the card group, and gave me a coach to teach me how to play.
"But his ultimate goal is not just to teach me and get me started. He hopes that after I learn it, I can fight with him—a fair, full-fledged duel."
Tovatus frankly admitted in front of all the mages at that time that he came to "find a playmate".
"He said that he was born to be 'at odds with others'. But his high position made him unable to exert his strength at all... That's why he came down and was in an absolutely unfavorable state to fight against the inferior who was holding the general trend.
"You may not know, strangling. The inferior one is a half-elf... He has a special background, which prevents Torvatus from killing him. Torvatus must abide by the rules of the game, and constantly challenge him under many restrictions. The conundrum of 'the worst perishes'."
"……I see."
Stretch nodded slowly, and responded in a low voice.
He hammered the table lightly, and the table and the ground vibrated for a while.
"That all makes sense."
Strangler frowned—this expression was not very obvious on his lion face, but it was more powerful because of it: "I always felt that he was too playful when he was targeting the inferior. I thought It's because his personality is not serious enough, and there are loopholes in the plan...it turns out that everything is considered good.
"So now... is he planning to change positions?"
"That's natural."
At this time, the godfather took an undisguised glance at the inferior, and let the hangman cast his gaze over: "The inferior has come to the lower city and became one of us. Taking a step back, he has also been abolished. The only one Also of value is the name 'bad' itself.
"In order to be able to use the name perfectly, I originally planned to design a huge upheaval. In that big event, announce our presence - announce that we have become ubiquitous and ghostly in Uptown.
"Probably realized that we will undoubtedly win in this way. So Tovatus lost the desire to play and planned to stand on the other side instead.
