Roman's reaction was much faster than that of the attacker. By the time he took out his revolver, Roman had already activated his "living corpse" ability, blocked his employer, and rushed towards the attacker.
When the attacker was about to pull the trigger, he felt a sharp pain in his wrist and could no longer hold the pistol.
Then Roman directly twisted his body, exerted downward force, and pushed him to the ground.
After Roman had subdued the attacker and kicked away the revolver he dropped on the ground, Mr. Wade's servants had just reacted and protected Mr. Wade in the middle.
Just an ordinary person... Roman pressed the middle-aged man under him and thought to himself.
Mr. Wade quickly regained his composure, took a step forward, and asked in a deep voice: "I don't seem to know you, why did you attack me?"
The middle-aged man who was suppressed by Roman raised his head with difficulty, looked at Mr. Wade, and shouted crazily: "You, the son of a humble businessman, how can you become a noble? You have defiled the noble family."
Glory!"
Mr. Wade was silent for a moment, and then said to Roman: "Thank you, Mr. Carpo."
Then he turned to look at his valet and said, "Go and notify the police, investigate the identity of the attacker, and wait until I come back to decide whether to notify reporters."
After Mr. Wade arranged the follow-up matters, he arranged his clothes, turned around, and walked slowly towards the direction of Thordrak Palace.
I don't know if it was Roman's illusion, but I felt that his steps were heavier and firmer than before.
Roman just waited here, watching several gentlemen similar to Mr. Wade come to the King's Avenue and walk towards Thordrak Palace.
After a long time, Mr. Wade's valet, who accompanied the police to the police station to investigate the situation, came back. He didn't say anything, but his face didn't look good.
After Mr. Wade's appointment was over, he learned about the situation from the valet.
The attacker was a dilapidated nobleman whose ancestor was a hereditary baron. When it was passed down to his generation, he owed a lot of debt due to poor management, especially after the "Corn Act" was repealed some time ago.
He was deeply in debt and had to sell land to pay off his debts.
This also means that the land of this hereditary baron cannot reach the minimum level of 600,000 acres that matches the title of baronet, and he is facing the fate of being deprived of his title.
And he happened to hear that Mr. Wade was about to receive the title of baronet, and out of jealousy, he acted irrationally.
But since he is still a hereditary baronet, and at the time of the attack on Mr. Wade, Mr. Wade did not have a title yet.
And because the baron was subdued directly by Roman and did not cause any bloodshed, he had been released by the police under the bail of another gentleman with identity.
That gentleman happened to be at the police station for business. Not only was he a member of the Conservative Party, he also happened to know the attacker.
Roman suddenly understood what the "choice of the times" meant.
This incident was full of coincidences and arrangements.
There are obviously factors of human manipulation behind this. There happened to be a dilapidated nobleman who was about to lose his baronetcy living near King's Road in Queens. He also happened to hear that Mr. Wade was about to be made a baronet, and he happened to irrationally choose to directly
He launched an attack and happened to meet a distinguished gentleman at the police station who bailed him out.
In Backlund, the person behind such an arrangement may be the royal advisor, Hvin Rambis, one of the committee members of the Psychological Alchemy Society and a demigod in the audience path.
The purpose is of course to intensify the contradiction between the New Party and the Conservative Party.
Today's attack on Mr. Wade, no matter what the final outcome is, he can achieve his goal.
If Mr. Wade is really killed on the spot, or the attacker is killed on the spot, it will bring about a fierce conflict between the New Party and the Conservative Party.
And even if no one was bleeding, as is the case now, the attacker walked out of the police station in a swaggering manner within a few hours of the attack.
Any counterattack by Mr. Wade and the new party after this will further deepen the rift between the two parties and make the conflict more intense, which is inevitable.
In the next period of time, the two parties will engage in countless fierce confrontations, both overt and covert, in the House of Lords and the Lower House, in the military, and in business, for their own interests.
This is the trend of the times that the Psychological Alchemy Society, or the organization that cannot be named, expects.
In this torrent, if you are not careful, you will be crushed, no matter you are a great noble or an extraordinary person.
The center of the vortex is Backlund.
As for the matter of me acting as Mr. Wade's bodyguard, to a certain extent, I was already in the whirlpool.
After realizing this, Roman had decided to leave as soon as the mission was over.
At the same time, Roman's heart, which had been somewhat relaxed this month, became tense again.
You must seize the time to digest the magic potion and prepare for promotion. There are limited opportunities to play in Backlund, but on the sea, you have more opportunities to fight.
Last night I received news from the captain that the modification and registration of the "Riptide Seagull" have been fully completed, and it is time to return to the sea.
After following Mr. Wade to visit several nobles and big bankers who supported the new party, Roman returned to the West End villa in the evening after a busy day.
After communicating with his teammates, they reached an agreement to return to the sea as soon as possible after completing Backlund's mission.
The next day, after informing Mr. Wade that the mission was over and refusing Mr. Wade's invitation to stay, Roman and his party left the West Side villa and went to the safe house that Roman Backlund had rented for a short time before waiting for further news from the captain.
.
In the next few days, Roman said goodbye to Miss Anne and Arya.
Miss Anne was not surprised by this. She had seen Roman's storm badge and guessed that Roman, who was not a "punisher", had a special mission just like herself.
Now that I heard that Roman was going back to sea, I just thought it was a matter of course. I made an appointment to see her at her machine shop or send a letter to her mailbox if I needed help.
Roman felt that he would definitely have a lot of trouble with Miss Anne in the future. After all, she was a very reliable craftsman.
Arya still cared about the notebook, but Roman said it was serious, so she reluctantly agreed not to continue deciphering the contents of the notebook for the time being.
After the two had a long talk, Arya decided to give the notebook to Roman for safekeeping, and she only kept the translation. After all, in terms of knowledge alone, the knowledge in the translation was enough for her to study for a long time.
Roman thought for a while and then agreed. Although this notebook is dangerous, when he joins the Tarot Society, he can completely regard it as a meritorious service or a sacrifice, and sacrifice it to Mr. Fool, or he can apply to read it above the gray fog.
.
The two made an appointment to contact her, and Roman promised her that he would pay attention to her teacher's news at sea, and told her that if she encountered any danger in Backlund, she should go directly to the church without hesitation.
As for Roman himself, although he was still full of curiosity about the mausoleum in the southern continent. But after understanding the general situation inside, Roman felt that he would not risk his own life to explore it before becoming a demigod.
Roman told her the contact information of Mr. "Eye of Wisdom"'s gathering, and specifically reminded her to be more careful when attending extraordinary gatherings. Although the character of the "Eye of Wisdom" was relatively reliable, other people attending the meeting were not.
must.
After saying goodbye to Arya, Roman left the hotel and busied himself around Backlund, making final preparations.
On June 25, Philogan received a telegram from the captain from Bayam. The "Ripwater Seagull" was ready to sail on a mission and was scheduled to arrive at Damir Port in 6 days. Let Roman and the others set off first.
Port Damir awaits. This chapter has been completed!
