"This news can't be true! There are so many untouchables out there who haven't even played their true role yet. How can they be wasted in this boring natural disaster? "
Suddenly, a shrill voice was heard.
Everyone heard this and immediately cast a disgusted look.
The direction of the voice came from was one side of the round table. There sat a coquettish middle-aged woman with a thick layer of white foundation and a revealing evening gown. She was staring at Director Hook with a furious expression.
The middle-aged woman's full name was Marie Barito. She often boasted that her ancestors came from a famous royal family in Europe and that she was a hereditary countess, so people had to address her as Countess Barito.
Since she had a lot of wealth in her hands and was proficient in alchemy passed down from her ancestors, many people had to pretend to be polite to her and call her the Countess.
However, her arrogance, arrogance, viciousness, and lack of restraint had long been hated by many.
At this moment, Director Hook's eyes lit up. He purposely stopped talking as he wanted to hear what the countess had to say.
However, at this moment, the host of the meeting, the old man in a suit and leather shoes, interrupted the middle-aged woman.
"Madam Barito, please watch your words. This is not the place to discuss alchemy." The host cautiously reminded, then inadvertently glanced at some people, including Director Hook.
"Hmph." It seemed that the host had a high status and power. The arrogant countess immediately stopped talking.
This disappointed Director Hook. He knew that the Sorcerer Society had been circulating an extremely deep and terrifying secret, but he had never been able to find out about it.
The Sorcerer Society was strictly divided into five levels: beginner, intermediate, advanced, advanced, and legendary.
Although he was extremely powerful, he only had the title of an intermediate wizard in the Society.
This time, it was due to the importance of his identity that he was qualified to be invited to this round table to speak.
Now, those who could participate in this meeting were core members with at least the title of advanced wizard.
This level not only depended on strength, but also qualifications, status, and contributions to the Society.
Among these core members, only a small number of people knew that terrifying secret.
They had once colluded with the devils in the Demonic Realm and used a large number of prison criminals to make demon generals.
This extremely evil thing was not deliberately hidden from the other ordinary members. This matter was even discussed openly in the meeting, but the secret was kept a secret.
This made Director Hook very concerned. He had been trying to find out, but to no avail.
The Countess was one of the people who knew about this. Although she was arrogant and did not know how to restrain herself, it was impossible to hear anything related to this from her mouth.
Today, as soon as they heard that the news of the natural disaster was true, most of them would die, and only a few would be qualified to board Noah's Ark to escape. The other party was so shocked and angry that it was unbelievable.
Obviously, she was not a person who would pity the commoners. This meant that the commoners outside were very important to her, so important that she could not control her emotions …
Director Hook had a terrifying conjecture …
The old host coughed and pulled everyone's attention back. He said, "Director Hook, you're in charge of the American Special Affairs Investigation Bureau, so your source of information should be reliable. The next topic on the agenda was the construction of the ark. First, we need to determine the true cause of this natural disaster and see if there's a way to prevent it … "
The members of the Sorcerer Club around the round table looked at each other. Many of them had yet to recover from the shock.
They all thought that the news of the natural disaster was just to return a favor to Black Cat Tom. It was the same as before, using something that looked real but was actually just a snippet to fool the American commoners.
Who would have thought that it was actually true?!
Would their hundreds of millions of family assets, countless beautiful men and women in secret, and extravagant lives all disappear?
Everyone knew that once they boarded Noah's Ark, they would not be able to enjoy such luxuries anymore!
After all, these luxuries were created by the commoners! Most of them were dead, so who would create these extravagant lives for them?
However, among these people, the few who knew the terrible secret had the same thoughts as the Countess who did not know how to restrain herself.
The commoners could die, and it did not matter even if they died, as long as the task could be completed. However, they must not die so worthlessly, and die so early!
As soon as the host finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement. Then, someone eagerly raised his hand to indicate that he wanted to speak.
"Inspector Smith, you're our America's number one detective. You have a sharp mind, and you have the magical ability to investigate. Please share your thoughts." The old host pointed to a person.
Everyone's gaze immediately turned to that person. It was a white-haired old man. Although he was old, he was dressed very neatly, and there was nothing unclean about him.
He stood up slowly with the help of his crutches and said.
Then, he said, "Hook mentioned earlier that this tidal anomaly cannot be explained by existing scientific theories. In other words, there is a high possibility that it actually came from some kind of supernatural power. I only want to ask one question now. Is there any Extraordinaire on Earth who can do this? "
Everyone immediately nodded, getting to the point.
Those who could enter the Sorcerer Club, other than a few who relied on family resources, most of them had their own unique skills.
Just like the Countess who everyone hated just now, she was also an Alchemy Master. No one could underestimate her in this aspect.
Hook smiled and said, "Teacher, you're right. You're as sharp as ever, and your observation skills are amazing. You've grasped the crux of the problem in an instant. That's right, we've also considered this problem. There's only one conclusion, and that is … "
Everyone immediately held their breath and focused.
"God."
Chief Hook slowly said this word.
"Hiss!" Everyone gasped when they heard this.
In everyone's opinion, this person was not easy to get along with. He had a long history, and if the legend was not fabricated …
At this moment, someone questioned, "Myths are myths, but reality is reality. Even if the Extraordinaire era comes, God might really exist, but he is not the only one on Earth. Will the other Gods watch him send a flood to destroy the world? "
Hook shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, sir. Your knowledge structure might need to be updated. The God I'm talking about is just a reference, a reference to our Earth's will. It's not the one in the myths and legends, and that one won't appear so early. "
"Hmph, then you can just say Gaia's consciousness. Why must you drag God into it …" The man said angrily.
Hook did not say anything. He had nothing to say in response. Saying "God" just now was completely out of his subconscious habit. He wanted to use the tiger's skin to ask for money …
Inspector Smith spoke up for his former disciple, "Whether it's God or Gaia, to us, they are all the same. They are both irresistible existences. I think the most important thing now is to communicate with it and find out why it caused the abnormal tides. Please discuss the candidates for communication. "
If Fang Ning heard this, he would definitely say that great minds think alike, because that was exactly what he thought …
"I suggest that we ask the Great Wizard Abraham of the Druid Clan to do it. He's the best at communicating with nature. He will definitely be able to find out what Gaia's consciousness is trying to do." Someone quickly proposed a candidate.
However, someone shook his head, "That person is omnipotent, he might be able to do it. However, he didn't agree with our Sorcerer Society's previous action of using demons to increase our strength, so he has long chosen to withdraw. He might not be willing to help now, right? "
"Hmph, stupid guy!" Countess Barito placed her palms together on the dark brown round table. She did not seem to mind the bloodstains on the table at all. She sneered and said, "Isn't it simple? Send two guys who are lawyers. As long as we hold him hostage with righteousness and morality, that old guy will help us find out the cause of the natural disaster even if he has to sacrifice his own life.
"Also, we can take this opportunity to get rid of this stubborn old thing so that he doesn't hinder us anymore."
After everyone heard this, they hated this woman even more.
Although everyone thought so, no one would say it out loud.
If it were someone else, they would only say, "With the noble character of the Great Wizard Abraham, he will definitely not care about what happened in the past. This time, he will definitely help countless civilians, even if he has to sacrifice himself."
When Hook heard this, he wanted Robert to die even more.
Because in that case, his nephew William would be able to easily accomplish this, and there would be no need to sacrifice a highly respected Druid Grand Wizard …
Sigh, those who deserve to die don't die, those who don't deserve to die have to die …
The Great Wizard Abraham was a man of virtue and prestige. He was broad-minded and had profound strength …
The previous ones were all bullsh * t, the most important one was naturally the last one.
He heard that Robert had recently become more integrated with nature. According to the latest Eastern Dragon Clan evaluation standards, he was already a Lake-level powerhouse. He was his most important secret support.
For Hook to be able to fight his way to the position of the Director of the Investigation Bureau, he was naturally not a soft-hearted person.
If Abraham was really going to die, he would not be sad at all. He would only feel that it was a pity that he had lost his most powerful weapon and counterweight.
He had always thought that he was greedy, lustful, unscrupulous, ruthless, hypocritical, and cunning, but he was still a patriot …
For this country, he could sacrifice a lot of things.
In order to activate William's Spiderman nature, he could plot against his diligent, honest, innocent, loyal, and patriotic subordinate, Agent Robert three times.
This time, who should he sacrifice?
He thought about it and then said, "I don't think we need to be so anxious. This natural disaster affects the whole world, there are people who are more anxious than us."
At this time, someone said coldly, "Hmph, Mr. Director, just now you were urging us to hurry up and build Noah's Ark, why are you saying that there's no need to be anxious now?"
Hook immediately reacted. His contradictory behavior had caused some people's suspicions.
Just now when he urged them to build Noah's Ark, he naturally wanted to take the opportunity to use some funds to cultivate his forces.
After all, his status was the Director of the American Special Affairs Investigation Bureau. Such a huge project required the mobilization of a large amount of social resources to be completed.
If they wanted to keep the entire process confidential, they would have to rely on him to cover up and block the news. During this process, however much money he wanted, it would only be a matter of a word for him.
Hook understood the thoughts of these people very well. Most of them were extremely selfish people. They were like the people in the novel "Window", who would watch their fellow patients die for the sake of enjoying the scenery outside the window.
Just like himself … so he could understand them very well.
Therefore, he explained, "Because only by building Noah's Ark will we have the confidence to not be anxious and let others worry for us …"
Hearing this, everyone immediately nodded.
The Countess's expression also softened at this time, and she gave him a look of approval.
Only Lieutenant General York was very dissatisfied. He snorted and said, "Then what about the leader of our country? At this time, the whole world is watching us, and so are our allies! "
The Countess said disdainfully, "What leader? It's just the fantasy of the lowly commoners! What's the point to us Extraordinaires? When Japan was on the verge of destruction, they also asked us for help. I remember that Lieutenant General York was also reluctant to send out his precious fleet to save those innocent Japanese, and only left them to drown in the water … "
The middle-aged man in the brownish-gray military uniform, Lieutenant General York, blushed when he heard this. He forcefully explained, "That's because the situation is unclear. The fog is so thick that even the radar can't see through it. I can't let those precious young men sacrifice for a dog that we used to have. "
Countess Barito continued, "If that's the case, we can continue to sit back and watch. Director Hook just reminded me that some people, like the Pharos of the East, will not watch civilians die. In his eyes, Easterners and Westerners should be the same.
"Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to New Netherlands to become Batman, and even saved a guy who was said to be the Son of God."
Hearing this, around the round table, these core members of the Sorcerer Society immediately began to laugh.
"That's right, we can also use the controlled media to create public opinion, and raise this Pharos of the East high up, shaping him into a universal saint. When that time comes, he will definitely have to care about the American civilians …"
"And we will secretly build Noah's Ark and make all the necessary preparations for escape. What a perfect plan."
"Hahaha, that's right, Mr. Senator."
"Great minds think alike, Your Excellency."
Many members had already agreed to this proposal. They decided to build Noah's Ark and instigate the Pharos of the East to save the world, while the United States would once again sit back and watch.
Just like the Great Eagle Empire in the past, they sat back and watched as the Second De Zi swaggered around.
They believed that they would still have the last laugh.
To these people, they no longer saw themselves as ordinary people.
Perhaps in the past, there were many billionaires who had the spirit of equality and sharing, but with the arrival of the new era, they already knew how to seek longevity, and had already seen themselves as a higher species …
However, there were also many core members, with Lieutenant General York as a typical representative, who had an ugly expression on their faces.
After all, no organization would have only one thought.
These people were still deeply reluctant to part with the glory of the United States guiding the world not long ago.
As for what these companions did, although it was extremely beneficial to them personally, it was obviously not beneficial to the United States as a whole.
Because that would mean that the United States would once again lose the great opportunity to establish authority and lay the foundation of the new era.
They looked at each other and decided to go it alone.
