Chapter 1086: New Year's Eve, the Artifact is Out
January 1968, 1, the Chinese New Year’s Eve.
Hong Kong Island, Sai Kung District, Pak Sha Wan Villa.
Today is the Spring Festival, the third Spring Festival since Du Weiguo left the country. It is also the most lively, grand and the one with the largest number of people.
Perhaps because of the presence of the owner Du Weiguo, the Baisha Bay Villa has changed from its former desolate and solemn appearance. It is now decorated with lights and colorful decorations everywhere, and is filled with joy. Laughter can be heard from time to time, making it seem particularly popular.
Moran, Zhao Yingnan, Joseph, Lancelot, Rhodes, Nightmare, Yeli, Xiao Ma, Xiao Liao, Rick, Mao Aiyi, Zou Yaozu.
Naturally, all of Du Weiguo's direct descendants of evil spirits were present, and they all gathered in the villa.
Lu Yan from the brotherhood and Shopkeeper Yu are also here. They have been staying in the villa for the past two days.
The main building where Zhao Yingnan lives has three floors above ground and three floors underground. Not counting the third underground floor, the total area is nearly 4000 square meters. There are more than ten guest rooms, which is more than enough to accommodate 10 people.
Of course, even so, it is impossible to let the owner Yu live in this villa.
After all, he is a distinguished guest, and Du Weiguo is now a well-known figure, so basic status must be maintained. Such an arrangement is inappropriate.
But this is not a big deal, there is more than one building in Baisha Bay Villa District.
The overall area is an irregular circular area with a radius of 3 kilometers. Together with the Baisha Bay Wharf, it is surrounded by several layers of iron nets and walls. A ring road has also been specially built in the outer circle.
The entire area covers 28.26 square kilometers, more than 4 acres, and is a vast area that is almost isolated from the world. It is Zhao Yingnan's private territory.
A total of 81 small buildings were built in the shape of a plum blossom, guarding her residence like the moon surrounded by stars.
Most of these small buildings were occupied by her personal guards. Of course, a few were reserved for entertaining guests. Manager Yu and his companions lived in one of them.
Neither Du Tiechui nor Aunt Jimmy showed up today. They were still helping Du Weiguo to make the Fuchen Sword. Yes, Fuchen is the name of the sword after the Kusanagi sword was refined.
Du Weiguo once had a floating and sinking long sword, which he seized and modified in Japan, but it was later destroyed on Skull Island.
He liked this long sword very much, and he liked the meaningful name of the sword even more, so he decided to use this name for the new sword.
Master Du is an impatient person who acts swiftly and decisively. Besides, they are the pillars of the fraternity and it is impossible for them to stay in Hong Kong Island for too long.
So, on the day they arrived in Hong Kong Island, after dinner, Master Du took the nanny Jimmy and started working in a hurry.
Of course, Du Weiguo’s commission was also clear.
A full 5000 million U.S. dollars, equivalent to more than 4 million Hong Kong dollars, has been transferred to the Brotherhood’s special account at VakifBank in the desert without a penny missing.
Du Weiguo did not pay the money out of his own pocket, but asked Guyana to transfer the money.
After all, there are abundant cash reserves there, and they also actually control a HSBC Bank, so operations are easy and convenient.
Du Weiguo could pay the money from his own treasury, but he felt a little pain in the ass, so he took advantage of Guo Fu.
Guo Fu agreed to his request without any hesitation. Not to mention 5000 million, she wouldn't even blink even if it was 5 million, and she didn't even ask what it would be used for.
Of course, when contacting her, the little girl Guo Fu asked countless times when Du Weiguo would return to Guyana, and even went so far as to throw a tantrum, but he always answered vaguely.
Du Weiguo won't be able to return to Quiana and light up the technology tree without dealing with all the rotten things in front of him.
He transferred 5000 million yen, of which 3000 million yen was for the cost of refining the sword, and the remaining 2000 million yen was the commission he commissioned the Brotherhood to assassinate the direct descendants of the Mitsui and Iwasaki families.
Impressed by Du Weiguo's generosity, Shopkeeper Yu also reciprocated by making some harsh remarks.
He promised that as long as Du Weiguo gave the order, all members of their brotherhood would go out and ensure that all the descendants of the Mitsui and Iwasaki families would be killed within a week.
In fact, this high-priced commission from Du Weiguo can be said to be a timely help to the current brotherhood!
Now, the Brotherhood is rebuilding and money is tightening. The income of 5000 million US dollars can greatly alleviate the current embarrassing situation.
The reason why Du Tiechui, the stubborn old man, insisted on the sky-high price of 3000 million US dollars for sword-making was not for personal gain. After all, it was to solve the urgent needs of the brotherhood.
Otherwise, he is an old bachelor with no children and his life is almost over. What is the point of having so much money?
Aunt Jimmy's situation is the same. She is alone and has long regarded the fraternity as her home.
The reason why Du Weiguo nodded and agreed with a pinch of his nose was that he naturally saw through their intentions and was also trying to help the Brotherhood as an ally.
He also had his own considerations. He wanted to gradually train the Brotherhood to become his own black glove, so that it could help him do the dirty work that was inconvenient for him to do personally.
In addition, the commission to assassinate the descendants of the Mitsui and Iwasaki families was exactly what the Brotherhood wanted, and it was a perfect match.
Almost all the previous leaders of the brotherhood are Chinese, so their attitude towards the Japanese is self-evident.
As early as 30 years ago, during World War II, the Brotherhood successfully assassinated the then-invincible Japanese naval admiral, Isoroku Yamamoto, which indirectly influenced the course of World War II.
In addition, the Mitsui family and the Iwasaki family are not unknown families. They are the top families in Japan and have great influence on the world.
Mass assassination of their descendants can greatly enhance the reputation of the Brotherhood.
In addition, the Brotherhood's move was tantamount to making public their partnership with Du Weiguo, directly tying them apart.
This is like a godsend for the fraternity, which is now in decline and urgently needs to increase its presence.
Killing three birds with one stone, Shopkeeper Yu was naturally overjoyed. He was so happy that he could not help but hug Du Weiguo and kiss him.
Everyone was very happy, except Du Weiguo himself.
In addition to being extorted of a large sum of money, he had to receive and deal with various people who came to pay New Year's greetings since he opened his eyes in the morning.
The first to arrive were the leaders of the three major gangs in Hong Kong Island and Wang Dong from Kowloon Walled City.
Of course, they did not come alone, but brought with them the leaders of dozens of remaining social organizations, large and small, in Hong Kong Island, as well as bosses from all walks of life, who all came here at once.
They came today to pay New Year's greetings to their ancestor. Everyone was respectful and pious. Even the old fox Xiang Qian and the god of war Zhen Guolong bowed to him politely.
This move is equivalent to confirming Du Weiguo's status as the leader of Hong Kong's underworld.
Following closely behind are the four major families of Hong Kong Island. Huo Xian and Shao Xian, together with a group of celebrities and wealthy people from Hong Kong Island, as well as leaders from all walks of life, there are no less than dozens of them.
In addition to paying New Year's greetings to Du Weiguo out of courtesy, they also had other purposes. To sum up, there are only two.
First, they all wanted to cooperate deeply with Du Weiguo, of course, it was all legitimate business. Second, they wanted to test his attitude and see if he wanted to settle down long-term.
However, as Du Weiguo was now so slick, he naturally didn't let anything out, and after performing Tai Chi, not a single thing was leaked.
In the afternoon came the bigwigs of Hong Kong Island, the Commissioner of Police, the heads of the three departments, military representatives, and even the Governor of Hong Kong condescended to come in person.
In fact, he didn't want to come in his heart, and he also wanted to save some dignity for himself, but he had no choice but to come!
The night before yesterday, in the middle of the night in Shenzhen and Hong Kong, Du Weiguo raised his arms and mobilized nearly hundreds of millions of people.
Not only did the military and police officers obey him, but countless people also voluntarily followed his orders. This situation scared him, the nominal head of Hong Kong Island.
With this terrifying appeal, if Du Weiguo had it a few hundred years ago, he could have directly overthrown the British Empire!
The visits of these bigwigs sent out an extremely clear signal that Du Weiguo is now the undisputed king of Hong Kong Island, the kind recognized by both the official and the public.
It was not until the evening, when it was already dark, that Du Weiguo finally sent away the last wave of guests.
He rubbed his cheeks, which were completely numb from laughing, and let out a long breath.
"Fuck! I'm so tired! The emperors in the past were so powerful that they could make their own decisions and look so majestic, but in fact, they all died young. It seems there is a reason for this."
"Damn it, I'm so tired of pretending to smile and scheming every day." "Hehe, if you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight first. How about it? Your Majesty Wesley, dinner is ready. Do you want to go downstairs and eat now?"
Moran suddenly pushed the door open and walked in, bringing with him a gust of fragrant wind, and chuckled and teased.
This ambitious woman was different from Du Weiguo. She was very happy with today's scene, felt proud of it, and enjoyed it very much.
Moran has a strong desire for control. In her opinion, Du Weiguo should have done so long ago. A master should have the bearing and appearance of a master.
"Damn, I can't take it anymore. Let me rest for a while before eating."
Du Weiguo lit a cigarette, loosened his collar, leaned back in his chair wearily, and put his feet on the expensive mahogany desk in an ungraceful manner.
Moran walked behind him, stretched out her slender white fingers, and gently pressed and rubbed his temple. Her movements were gentle, but her tone was somewhat teasing.
"No way? You are a mighty demon god, right? You are capable of defeating thousands of troops, but you are unable to entertain a few guests at home?"
After a brief pause, Moran's charming fox eyes slightly raised, and the tone of her voice also rose, sounding extremely charming:
"Boss, you are not weak, are you?"
"what?"
Du Weiguo raised his sword-like eyebrows, laughed loudly, flicked the cigarette butt, stretched out his arms, and suddenly pulled her into his arms:
"Xu? Moran, do you want to give it a try?"
As he spoke, Du Weiguo's big hands moved up and down in a very rascally manner. Moran blushed immediately, his eyes became a little blurred, and he couldn't help but put his red lips forward.
With a beauty in his arms, Du Weiguo naturally wouldn't be polite. He opened his bloody mouth and kissed her hard.
Since returning to Hong Kong Island, Du Weiguo has been busy all the time, almost never touching the ground. First he was catching jellyfish, and then he was busy receiving the fish shopkeeper and his party. He had no time at all to be intimate with them.
Moran is already 28 years old this year, at the age of being as vigorous as a wolf and a tiger. It is inevitable that she is a little bit ~~
However, just as the atmosphere was gradually heating up and the actions were becoming more passionate, footsteps suddenly sounded at the door, interrupting the charming atmosphere.
"Wesley, Uncle Nine is here."
The visitor broke in without knocking. In this villa, the only person who dared to do this, besides Moran, was naturally the hostess Zhao Yingnan.
However, when she saw Moran sitting on Du Weiguo with her hair askew and her face flushed, her expression suddenly became visibly ugly.
He snorted coldly. "Molan, tomorrow is the first day of spring! Can you restrain yourself a little?"
Being caught doing good things, Moran's eyes flashed with embarrassment and panic for a moment, but she was not an ordinary person and she immediately regained her composure.
As if in protest, she hugged Du Weiguo's neck tightly, kissed him on the face affectionately, raised her eyebrows and sneered:
"Tsk, food, sex and human nature, love between men and women is human nature, I am being intimate with my man at home, what law have I violated?"
With his fox eyes squinting, Mo Lan's tone became more and more playful: "Zhao Yingnan, are you jealous or envious?"
"You, you~" Zhao Yingnan's face turned blue and red after being retorted by her, and he was speechless.
This woman Moran is really smart. She has a perfect grasp of the scale and knows when to stop. She doesn't force anyone to give in.
She slid down from Du Weiguo neatly, straightened her messy hair and clothes, walked quickly to Zhao Yingnan, and pulled her:
"Okay, stop standing there with a dazed look on your face. You're already an old married couple, and you're still jealous. You're the host here, so go and prepare the New Year's Eve dinner."
"Oh!"
Zhao Yingnan glared at her viciously, and did not forget to give Du Weiguo a cold look, then walked out of the room angrily, slamming the door behind him.
Du Weiguo raised his eyebrows helplessly, but Mo Lan smiled indifferently and turned his head to wink at him, meaning that he should be at ease and he would take care of her.
To be honest, Du Weiguo was extremely satisfied with Moran's performance just now and gave her a full score in his heart.
Although his skin was thicker than a city wall, he was still a little embarrassed and at a loss when Zhao Yingnan caught him in an affair. It was Moran who perfectly helped him out.
"Uncle Jiu, Happy New Year! I wish you good health and everything goes well!"
Although the rift between him and Uncle Jiu had been growing recently, Uncle Jiu was his elder after all, so Du Weiguo still politely clasped his fists and took the initiative to wish him a happy new year.
"Wesley, in this case of the "evil spirit", can you talk to Reina and make special arrangements for the case? Make an exception and restart the death penalty system? And then execute it in public?"
This is what makes Uncle Jiu so unlikable. He always speaks directly to the point, without any politeness, and always takes things for granted, regardless of the occasion.
Upon hearing this, Du Weiguo was stunned, then smiled bitterly:
"What? Reinstate the death penalty? And execute them in public? Uncle Jiu, you think too highly of me? Do you really think of me as the King of Britain?"
There is no death penalty in Hong Kong Island now. In 1965, England abolished the death penalty, and Hong Kong Island also abolished the death penalty system on November 1966, 11.
This involves England's constitution and national foundation. Even Du Weiguo can't do anything about it, at least not on the surface.
However, it would be easy for him to kill "Jellyfish" quietly in prison, and the English authorities would certainly not pursue the matter.
However, Uncle Jiu can also do this. What he wants is a public execution and a fair punishment.
Hearing Du Weiguo's refusal, Uncle Jiu let out a heavy breath, his tone sad:
"Wesley, 31 lives have been lost, and he is only sentenced to jail, and a single cell with good conditions. Isn't this too easy for him?"
In fact, from the moment Du Weiguo handed the jellyfish over to the Hong Kong authorities, his fate was already sealed.
Life imprisonment, then lock him up in prison for a while. When the news has died down, they will find a pretext to make him die, and then secretly take him back to Britain.
It is possible that he will be sliced for research, or that he will be allowed to work for the government after a makeover. Du Weiguo feels that the second possibility is more likely.
After all, jellyfish are super-powered creatures that possess the rare ability of invisibility. Although their poor physique is a flaw, they are still very useful.
For example, he can steal intelligence and gather information without leaving any trace. He is a natural-born top spy. No top leader in any country would be willing to execute such a talent directly.
Reina had previously very subtly advised him to hand over the "jellyfish" to the police for disposal. Perhaps she rushed back to Hong Kong Island for this purpose.
Du Weiguo could guess it, and Uncle Jiu was not stupid, so he could naturally guess it as well, so he wanted to execute Jellyfish, the heinous murderer, in public.
"I'm sorry, Uncle Jiu, I'm really powerless. Besides, sentencing him to life imprisonment doesn't follow the principle of fairness and justice under the law? Are you forcing me to override the law now?"
Uncle Jiu's face turned red after being choked by Du Weiguo, and then he became gloomy, with a barely perceptible hint of viciousness in his eyes.
The change in his eyes naturally could not escape Du Weiguo's eyes, and he instantly guessed what Uncle Jiu wanted to do.
It was nothing more than carrying out lynching personally, using his power to kill Jellyfish quietly in the detention center.
It is extremely ironic that Uncle Nine, who has always respected and upheld the law, has turned evil and wants to carry out lynching himself.
All I can say is that things in this world are unpredictable and fate plays tricks on us.
However, Du Weiguo didn't take it seriously and was even a little secretly delighted. Although the jellyfish's abilities were strange, they could only threaten ordinary people. For people like them, it was useless.
However, he also didn't want this guy to become a pawn and lackey of the British government, so Uncle Jiu's plan was exactly what he wanted.
"Uncle Nine~"
Du Weiguo was just about to say a few perfunctory words and send him away, when at this moment, Lu Yan suddenly rushed in excitedly, his tone extremely excited.
"Wesley, your knife is done, damn, it's a magical weapon! Old Bull is better!"
