The sudden gunfire outside the house made Albert tremble. The forked beef grains rolled into the dinner plate, the sauce splashed, and several brown stains were on his clean shirt.


    He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and watched the young man sitting opposite him silently put down his knife and fork. Although he was under house arrest here, Dooling allowed him to read the newspaper every day. Through the newspaper, he had a clear understanding of the situation outside.


    The Atlantic group is finished. He doesn''t know why the Atlantic consortium will be finished so quickly. At least when he still has freedom and is responsible for this work, he hasn''t found any problems at all. Of course, he doesn''t think this is a problem. At that time, Doolin piled up an Atlantic group company with almost one billion federal shields, so he must have a complete plan, which only the operator and he know. In retrospect, perhaps it was because everything went so well, coupled with the fanatical atmosphere on the federal side, that people didn''t carefully study the sudden start of the Atlantic consortium.


    Many people can only learn from newspapers and some pictures and words how impressive the joint construction project has done in the Empire, or how breakthrough research progress has been made by joint pharmaceutical and Atlantic chemical. Everything is so smooth and perfect. Every step and every evidence was carefully designed so that people couldn''t tell the true from the false, and then all this was punctured.


    In this era when industry determines national strength, the avalanche effect brought by the collapse of the industrial sector is amazing. Perhaps this is why joint construction can develop so smoothly in the Empire. There is not only Albert''s credit, but also more people''s credit, including some tycoons of the Empire and even the Imperial Cabinet!


    He has no appetite now. He is a little afraid. He doesn''t know why he has special fear at this time, but he is afraid. His hands are shaking.


    Dufo wiped his mouth with satisfaction, threw his napkin on the table, held a cigarette in his mouth, lit the fire with his head down, took a breath, smiled and looked at Albert, "you have half of the blood of the guart people. According to our guart rules, you need to go through a sacred trial!"


    "What''s that?" Albert told himself something to help ease his anxiety.


    Dufo shrugged his shoulders. "Look, that''s why you only have half the blood of the guards. You don''t even know our traditions." he said with a smile, "it doesn''t matter. We still have a lot of time."


    "In the tradition of the guards, all betrayers must accept the judgment of the gods. If the gods think you can survive, everything you do will be forgiven. No matter who you betray or betray, these will be forgiven. All guards will not hurt you or curse you because of these things. But if you fail in the sacred judgment, The gods think you should not continue to live, and your life will come to an end. "


    "I know you want to ask, how to do this. It''s actually very simple. Have you heard of skinning?"


    Albert trembled again and nodded hesitantly. "I seem to have heard of it."


    Dufo lit him with a cigarette between his fingers. "Yes, I''ve heard of it."


    "For the traitor, we will skin him while he is alive. Then we will coat your body with a special liquid to ensure that you will not lose too much blood and die. Then you will be hung in a very high and obvious place. In the past, most of us would hang people on the clock tower in the city, so high and eye-catching. You will be killed Exposure to the sun for three days. If you are still alive after three days, it means that the gods forgive you, you will be free and no one will embarrass you. If you die, your soul will fall into the abyss and be tortured and punished forever. "


    Dufo''s words made Albert very uncomfortable and even had some nausea. His teeth trembled and made a bang bang sound, "no, I didn''t do anything to betray Mr. Turin. It''s lynching. It''s illegal. I want to see Mr. Turin!"


    Dufo shook his head gracefully, "the boss doesn''t want to see you now. In fact, you don''t have to worry, because you don''t need to bear these. I reminded the boss that he said that you are only half of the blood of the guards. Our holy judgment is used on you to desecrate our own blood, and he has arranged a new job for you. If you do this well, you will be free."


    This gave Albert a hard sigh of relief. His whole body was paralyzed in the chair. "What am I going to do?"


    Dufo smiled and stretched out a hand, just like holding a piece of money. The belly of his index finger and thumb almost stuck together, and his mouth made a long tail sound like "pi...", and then his slightly folded five fingers immediately opened, "pa!


    Many problems of the Atlantic consortium have been exposed, indicating a huge conspiracy and a series of follow-up troubles. Therefore, someone needs to draw a pause for possible troubles in the future. At the same time, the federal government also needs a heavyweight figure to appear and explain to the people. Most of the time, what the middle and low-level people need is not the real truth. What they need is a plausible story that they can accept, and the story should be good enough for them to accept.


    There is nothing more valuable and meaningful than Mr. Albert, a member of the Federal Parliament, the president of the Atlantic consortium and an excellent young federal entrepreneur, to appear in front of people again. He must appear, but he can''t speak, so Turin arranged a more ceremonial ending for him.


    At 8:15 p.m., on the top floor of the office building of Atlantic group company, the cold wind blew as frightening as the federal chaotic financial order falling to the bottom at this time. It was like a small knife gently rowing on the face. In fact, it didn''t hurt, but it always made people feel that they didn''t know when they would get very hurt and feel pain.


    Dufo stood on the edge of the roof, leaned forward and looked down, and then immediately retracted back. He was a little afraid of heights.


    "It''s very windy, but I have to say it''s high enough!" dufo hooked his fingers to the two young people on one side, and they put Albert over who couldn''t even stand. I don''t know if he drank too much before coming, or he was afraid of heights. In short, he was scared to pee.


    Dufour turned and shrunk his neck. The cold wind drilled into the gap in his clothes, which made him feel very cold. He glanced at Albert and shouted, "Boss, there are other things he can''t come over in person at night. He asked me to convey some words to you. He gave you a positive evaluation of your previous efforts, and was very angry at your lack of cooperation and betrayal. Everyone chooses the road, and everyone needs to pay for their own behavior. Now it''s your turn to pay the price of your fault, Mr. Albert 。”


    "Mr. durin asked me to apologize to you. Your time is over!"


    Dufo showed a big smiling face and hid aside, "throw him down!"


    When Dover took the elevator back to the first floor, pushed open the sealed but torn door and went out, he happened to see Albert who had the last twitch. He lowered his eyelids, glanced sideways, pursed his lips and shook his head into the car. This damn weather.


    Less than ten minutes after Dover left, a young man got into the telephone booth and made a call to Mr. majerry, an excellent reporter of the good morning news, revealing his "great" discovery. Soon after, he called the police and disappeared into the twilight.


    Soon Maggie and the police arrived at the scene and looked at Albert who had died. These people had nothing to express except silence.


    At the same time, Du Lin was talking on the phone, and many problems began to break out gradually, which made the Jianguo family feel something wrong, because it was different from the script.


    "You never said that the Empire would join the game, let alone tell us that the Empire would isolate us diplomatically." , Mr. sail obviously suppressed his anger, and Turin and those behind him exceeded the outline. On the international diplomatic battlefield, the Federation has obviously fallen into passivity, which is different from their initial plan. Turin has never said anything in this regard, which makes them very passive now.


    Du Lin replied with a smile, "I know there is a word called ''impromptu performance''. The better an actor is, the more he can touch some instant inspiration in the process of performing. Moreover, in the things we agreed, you didn''t tell me that you would let the soldiers surround my manor."


    From noon, the surrounding secret outposts found that a large number of soldiers were surrounded. Before that, in fact, Doolin knew that the federal people would not let him leave. Just as Albert had to jump from a building, the federal government and the Jianguo family must find a sufficient scapegoat to quickly solve some troublesome situations There is no doubt whether Dooling has enough weight. His imperial identity and his history in politics are enough for him to be a scapegoat.


    Turning everything into "imperial conspiracy" is the best way to "deny"!


    "Didn''t the federal government see the risks before the financial tsunami?"


    "This is the conspiracy of the Empire!"


    "There were problems in many key links in the financial tsunami. Was there no omen before?"


    "This is the conspiracy of the Empire!"


    "What does the official want to say about the current situation?"


    "This is the conspiracy of the Empire!"
