"Old patriarch Mel!" The middle-aged man in suit hurried forward.
George who was sitting on the sofa slowly raised his head. His eyes swept over the middle-aged man's body and saw the grey clothed figure behind him. George's gloomy face couldn't help but reveal a smile: "Thank you Bishop Paul. I didn't expect you to personally come here. I'm really ashamed to let you witness such a scene. Shall we go back and have a drink?"
The man in gray lifted the hood on his head, revealing a face that seemed to radiate brilliance. He shook his head slightly and said, "Old Patriarch, I've made a fool of myself. I'm really sorry …"
"Sorry?" George was slightly startled. He suddenly felt a trace of unease in his heart. He turned to the middle-aged man in a suit and asked, "Bullitt, what's going on?"
The middle-aged man's face turned ugly: "I'm sorry Old patriarch. We can't bail you and Mr. Kenson as well as your granddaughter Miss Sarah out. We have to trouble you to stay here for a few more days …"
George couldn't help but be startled. He raised his eyebrows: "Say it again! What do you mean?"
Blatter gritted his teeth: "Old patriarch, we have used all kinds of connections but the situation is too special. So we can't release you on parole."
"Can't be released on parole?" George Mel angrily looked at him, "Bastard, do you mean that I will continue to stay here? Who am I? Do I have to stay here? Are you crazy? Didn't you bring your brain with you when you go out? "
Blatter said bitterly, "Old chief, I've investigated. The main reason why you were imprisoned this time was because Master Dean captured a Savage Royal. Under the interrogation of the military headquarters, he confessed your names. Now, the military headquarters has arrested you for 'rebellion' and 'colluding with foreign enemies'. These are all major crimes, and it's a time of war, so the military headquarters has ordered that you cannot be released on bail!"
George said angrily, "Don't talk to me about sin, sin, sin. This is the military's business, it's your business. I only know that I want to get out now, right now, right now!
"Old patriarch." Bishop Parker stepped forward and sighed: "I'm really powerless in this matter. I have used my connections in the Holy Church to guarantee for you. But I don't know where I got the news that your Mel family has a conflict with the two legendary masters. So some people who wanted to help you have withdrawn their hands. I can't do anything by myself … I'm sorry …"
George's cheeks twitched as he heard his words. He grabbed a bottle of red wine on the table and smashed it on the ground. He angrily said: "Damn bastard! He captured the barbarian royal family. He must be colluding with him! Damn it!" He slowly sat back on the sofa. His face was filled with anger as his eyes were gloomy.
Blatter said bitterly, "I will investigate this matter immediately, but I hope that the old patriarch can bear with it a little longer. I know that the living conditions here are not good, I will definitely think of a way to get you out as soon as possible!"
George looked up at him: "Do you understand? I am the patriarch of the Mel family! If I am arrested by the military it will damage my reputation! The reputation of the Mel family and the reputation of the entire Mellon consortium! Now you want me to stay here for a few days? Living conditions? This is a prison! Is this a place where I can live? "
"But, but …"
"One day at most!" George took a deep breath. His eyes were extremely cold as he said: "I will only give you one day. If you can't make the military relent in one day, then inform Myers and Melk to negotiate with the military!"
Bishop Brent and Bishop Paer's faces changed. Bishop Paer quickly said, "Patriarch, you have to think twice. If we start a negotiation now, it will completely anger the military. They will not only arrest you, but also the patriarch of the Scott family, Chastov. So, this matter may not be a setup by the Scott family, but the military really has some evidence. Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to arrest you just based on a confession from the Barbarian royal family!"
George stared at him, "What is the Scott consortium going to do? That old bastard Chestov won't sit still and wait for death! "
Blatter's face turned ugly. He lowered his head and said: "I, I just heard that Mr. Chaistov seems to have been bailed out …"
"What?" George suspected that there was a problem with his ears. He felt as if he had heard a joke: "He and I were arrested but he was bailed out? He can be bailed out, but I have to sit here and wait? "
Bishop Paer smiled: "Old patriarch, the Scott consortium is too shrewd. They used their close relationship with master Dean to find a lot of people in the Holy Church to help them. The military took the legendary invention of master Dean for free. They wanted to give face to master Dean so they bailed him out. Moreover, Old Fulin from the New World consortium said that your Mellon consortium had secretly framed master Dean …"
George stared at him and Blatter. Suddenly he coughed violently and covered his mouth. Blood spilled from his fingers.
"Old patriarch!"
Bishop Paer and Blatter rushed to help him.
George raised his hand to stop them. He used the back of his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. He took a deep breath and said in a self-deprecating tone: "I didn't expect that I would be defeated by a 16 year old boy after decades in the commercial district. What a great master! What a genius! Hahaha …"
He turned to Bishop Paer: "We don't have to wait for a day. Immediately mobilize the troops and negotiate with the military. If they don't agree then use all the troops and fight with the military! I don't believe that they will dare to be tough now that they can't even protect themselves! "
Bishop Paer was anxious: "Old patriarch, we can't. We won't be able to go back if we do this. The damage to the consortium will be too great."
George stared at him and said: "If I don't go out now then the consortium will no longer exist. What is outside is not a sheep but a bloodthirsty wolf. There is also a group of tigers eyeing us!"
Bishop Paer was startled.
…
…
Dean put on the hunter's armor and looked at himself in front of the mirror. He turned and left the room.
Behind him, Sergei and Gwyneth, dressed as attendants, followed closely behind.
"Master, are you going out?" Kroen saw Dean in the hall and hurried to greet him.
Dean said: "Prepare the horse and go to the military!"
"Yes."
A moment later a horse was brought out of the castle.
Dean stepped out of the castle and looked around at the hundreds of figures on the grass outside the castle. These were the elite troops sent by the military to protect him. If they were used in the frontline during the war, they would play a great role. But at the moment they had become his personal guards. It showed how much the military was afraid of him.
Looking ahead, the dark clouds had already retreated. The blue sky was clear, and the sun shone down on the earth.
Dean smiled as he got on the horse.
High up in the clear sky, a giant black shadow suddenly swept across the horizon.
It wasn't the first time Dean saw it but he didn't think much about it. He was in a good mood as he looked at Reid: "Colonel, what is that bird?"
Reid looked up: "Master, it's not a bird. It's a dragon. It's rare to see a dragon. Generally you can only see it during the black snow season."
"Dragon?" Dean looked at it: "How come we haven't seen a dragon in the outer wall?"
