Rebirth of the Genius Charlatan

  At the beginning of the ball, Old Burton smiled and went on stage to introduce the Obicris family and the Xuanmen. After all, the two parties belonged to very special guests tonight, so Old Burton first introduced both parties out of politeness.

  Everything is performed perfectly according to the established plan.

  Andre and Abel came to the stage after speaking at Old Burton, and announced the friendship between the Obicris family and the Xuanmen to the guests present, and said that the Eastern and Western Occultism will maintain friendly exchanges. This sounds a bit official, but it's nothing. Whether it is a master of Feng Shui or a master of witchcraft, the celebrities present are all people who want to make friends, so as soon as Andre finished speaking, everyone applauded and cheered.

  However, before the applause was over, someone walked in outside the hall.

  The man in a white suit, long blond hair tied behind him, has an elegant temperament, and his blue eyes are slightly melancholic. The night outside was sultry, the sea breeze slowly, and the sound of blue waves hitting the shore, as soon as this person walked in, the brilliant light stripped his Xin-long figure from the darkness, and at first glance it looked like a layer of golden light spilled on his body. It was like an angel came to the world. [

  The guests in the hall were all taken aback, and there were a lot of breathtaking gasps, but most people's eyes were puzzled, and few people knew the man who walked in. Even Old Burton's eyes were puzzled. Obviously, even he didn't know this person.

  Only a few people will recognize them in the future!

  "Mr. Adam?" The people who made the noise were also quite surprised. These three are actually giants in the British banking, hotel and shipping industries, especially Mr. Spell from the shipping industry, who are internationally renowned entrepreneurs, and their multinational group is a world-class giant in the shipping industry!

  The people present, including Old Burton, didn’t know this young man. The three of them knew him and seemed to respect him?

  Sbelfa doesn’t need to look at the young man who suddenly came in front of him with respect, because his family is the real power holder of the group.

  Speer is more than fifty years old and is already three generations of Howe International Group. Everyone thinks that he is the chairman of Howe International, but only he knows that this is just a family entrusted to Adam. This matter is the highest level of confidentiality in the Howe Group, and only the chairman of the board knows. In other words, in the three generations of the group, only Spell was aware of the matter, and even his most trusted son was kept in the dark. When Spell learned of the company's secrets, his father told him just before his death.

  Howe Group was founded a hundred years ago, the founder is not the Spall's family, but the Adam's family. What kind of history this family has, Spell, including his father, do not know, only know that this family's connections are extremely wide, and the wealth of funds is staggering. But this family doesn't know why it is extremely low-key and never confronts the world. The Spell family has been the spokesperson of the group since the establishment of the group.

  Not only the Howe Group, but also the Arante Group, which focuses on hotels and tourism, and the Safi Group, the oldest private banking industry in the UK, the owners behind the scenes are all this ancient family.

  The assets of this family can definitely be regarded as a giant. It is the unimaginable invisible rich president surrendered. The ex-wife should not remarry. For a hundred years, they have been willing to be behind the scenes. They only want wealth, but they have a very weak praise for the world. They never appear in front of people, and they are never seen in the dance parties of the upper class. So seeing Adam tonight, the Spell three were extremely surprised!

  But astonished and surprised, the three dared not ask him what he was doing. In terms of identity, he was justified, and in terms of ability, the three internationally renowned giants were a little afraid of the young man in front of them.

In this generation, the head of the three groups is actually the young man’s father Andri. But the three knew that Adrie was a mediocre person, and the real power behind the group was Adam!

  This young man not only has great talents, but also has some mysterious tricks that are quite daunting. This is exactly what makes Spell afraid. He once heard his father say that when his father had just taken over the company, the person who learned of this confidential history of the group was also like Spell's cousin. But the uncle’s line was a radical in the group. At that time, the group was growing stronger and stronger, and the outside world had no idea that there was Adam’s family. So his uncle had tried to steal the group and wanted to become the real group. Those in power. But what is frightening is that since his cousin has moved this mind, the people in that line have been suffering from strange diseases, death, and madness within a year, and finally the line is cut off.

  This incident became a nightmare of Spell when he was a child. At that time, it was said that his family was written on the death record by the devil, and he suffered the most severe curse. When he was a child, Spell believed it to be true, and was frightened that he would be taken away by the devil, but he didn't expect it to happen in the end. Until he took over the group from his father, his father gave him the most severe advice-to become the spokesperson of this family, never have the thought of betrayal.

  Spell, who was already in his thirties at the time, vaguely felt that the severance of his uncle's line might have something to do with this family, but he dared not conclude. It was not until Adam took over the group that some opponents of the group died inexplicably, and he gradually felt that this family was definitely not easy!

  When facing unknown things, people always have a fearful mentality. Now Spell, who is over 50 years old, does not know why, and often has a funny idea. He always felt that his family was like signing a contract with the devil, offering loyalty in peace, and becoming servants of the devil, and they would gain fame, status and money. Once betrayed, what awaits them will be hellish, just like his cousin's line.

Not only did Spell feel this way, the other two also had similar ideas. Therefore, when the business giants in the world saw Adam walking into the lobby, they did not even dare to make a loud noise, let alone ask why he came. The gesture is absolutely in awe.

  The same people who want to ask but dare not ask are Andre and Abel and his son. The faces of the two of them were quite ugly at this time, almost frozen on the stage, staring at Adam, an unexpected guest. Right now is the moment of life and death between the two factions. His presence here tonight is definitely not a good thing.

  However, the two of them couldn't ask, and even pretended not to know Adam-this is related to the reputation of the Obicris family in the eyes of the world!

  The Obicris family is divided into two factions, Raphael and Satan, which most people don’t know. In the West, people fear black wizards just like they fear vampires. There used to be so-called demon hunters who hunted and killed vampires. People tied so-called vampires to a cross and put them to fire. But in fact, no one can tell whether there are any vampires in the world. In the movement of that period, it was the most affected. It's actually a dark wizard. [

  Westerners regard the black wizard as an evil person who flexibly betrayed to the devil, with extreme fear and rejection. It was at that time that the Obicris family started on the stage of British history with the white wizard who saved the world.

  The Patriarch of the Obicris family has been awarded the title of earl by the royal family for generations, and presided over the royal cathedral, blessing and praying for the world, and has a large number of believers from all over the world. In the eyes of the world, the Obicris family is a great and noble family of white wizards. Except for members of the royal family and a very small number of people in the world, such as people in mysterious industries such as Xuanmen, no one knows the existence of Satan.

  Because of this, although the Satan line is in charge of the family's financial resources, it has never appeared in front of the world. In the long history, there was a mutually beneficial agreement between the two factions of the family. The Satan line handled many secretly inconvenient matters for the Raphael line, such as assassinations. Raphael provides personal connections and official protection for Satan's line. So over the years, people like the dark wizard gradually disappeared from people's sight. Many people thought that these people did not exist in the world, but in fact they were only protected.

  This mutually beneficial relationship could have existed for a long time, but everything broke with the old earl’s obsession with black witchcraft. He is a rare wizard in the Obicris family. Both white witchcraft and black witchcraft can be learned. He once brought praise and glory to the family that it has never had before, but now he has brought the family into deep water. middle.

  Whether the half of the sheepskin scroll was in the hands of Satan or not, even the people of Abel’s faction dare not make a statement. They only knew that Adam’s talent was another genius after the old earl. Satan’s line had not seen the sun for a long time. With Adam’s ability, he might not be willing to stay in the dark for a lifetime, unknown to the world, and never be known by the world. Because of his outstanding ability, Raphael's line was very worried that he would not be able to suppress him in the future, so he did not hesitate to use the sheepskin scroll as an excuse to induce the old count to kill Andri and Adam and his son, and to find someone in Satan's line to control. It was precisely because of this move that Adam's counterattack was met, and the dispute between the two factions continues to this day.

  Today, Adam appeared unexpectedly, what on earth did he want to do?

  Andre and Abel's father and son were anxious, but they could only pretend not to know Adam, and Adam who walked in seemed relaxed and comfortable.

  "This gentleman is?" Old Burton, as the organizer, smiled and asked. His tone is still very polite, after all, Adam has a good temperament, and the Spell three seem to be in awe of him.

   "Sorry, Mr. Burton, I am uninvited. Introduce myself, I am the young master of Howe, Arante and Safi Group." Adam smiled.

   "What?" Old Burton was stunned. Not only Old Burton, but many people did not react.

  Spell and the three were even more stunned, with shocked expressions, and they didn't understand why Adam had to announce the incident suddenly. At this time, many people in the hall had cast their gazes over, with some confusion in their inexplicable eyes.

  What did this young man say? The young master of the three groups?

  This is too funny, I have never heard that these three groups are one! This person looks very elegant and expensive, and has some brain problems after a long period of trouble?

  Adam ignored the eyes of everyone, continued to smile gracefully, and said to Old Burton: "Mr. Burton can also call me Adam Satan Obicris."

  However, as soon as these words were spoken, Old Burton couldn't even be stunned.

  O, Obicris?

  The long silence in the hall, and then everyone stared at Andrea and Abel and his son!

   "Wh, what? This is...Master Adam?" Old Burton opened his mouth for a long time before asking. But his expression is a bit weird. He knows the name of the Obicris family. When will a Satan come out? Shouldn't it be Raphael?

"Hehe, our family doesn’t have this gentleman. I think this gentleman is a little delirious, I don’t know how he got in. Let’s go, old Burton, let your people take him to the guest room to rest, me and my father Go and have a look later." Abel smiled as usual, and he didn't seem to know Adam.

   "Uh, okay." Old Burton was also a human being. He looked at the same blond and blue eyes of Abel and Adam, and he had seen that the two were five-point alike, which was obviously related by blood. It's just that Abel obviously didn't want to admit this brother on tonight's occasion for some reason. He didn't want to offend Abel, so he did what he said.

  "This gentleman, please follow me to the guest room to rest." At the sign of Old Burton, the housekeeper of the villa came up and asked Adam out politely.

Adam smiled and ignored what the housekeeper said. Instead, he looked at Abel and said: "Abel, my brother, I am here tonight to announce important news to the distinguished guests present. Interrupting others is impolite."[

   "..." My brother? !

   There was a rush in the hall, and the gaze this time was not only shocked, but also puzzled. Since he is a brother, why did Abel just say that he didn’t know Adam?

"This gentleman, I don't know what you are talking about! For your insanity, I will not hold you accountable for pretending to be a member of my family. Please leave the No. 1 champion as soon as possible! Otherwise..." Abel Before he finished speaking, the hand behind him quickly drew a pattern, and the yang energy in the hall quickly gathered, and it turned into evil in a flash.

  Yang Sha, like Yin Sha, can also hurt people.

  Adam stepped onto the stage at a leisurely pace. When he turned around, he drew his fingers lightly on his chest, gathering a shadow evil spirit in a blind spot that everyone could not see, and the two evil spirits collided together, and the sound disappeared.

Andrea and Abel’s expressions changed. At this time, Adam had already stood on the stage, "Tonight, for the people of my tribe who have been forced to live incognito for nearly two centuries, it will be a historic moment. So, I I hope that more people will witness, and more people will know and remember us, so that it will be more meaningful."

   "This is a lunatic! Take him down!" Abel became angry and turned his head to Old Burton.

  Old Burton didn’t know what to do. This situation was too sudden. It would offend people if he rushed or not. He didn’t want to offend these people.

  At this moment, Andrea couldn't help but make a move. He also avoided others and drew a seven-pointed star pattern behind him. The yang energy of almost the entire villa quickly gathered in his hands and shook towards Adam! Abel, seeing his father's move, he did the same, and the father and son joined forces and attacked at the same time.

  The three of them stood on the same stage, only a few steps away. Adam smiled and remained the same. Just like before, a ghost shook out behind him, the two collided, and the sound dissipated.

The people under    all stared at the stage intently, but they didn't know that in a short period of time, the three had secretly fought against each other twice. But this time, the faces of Andre and Abel's father and son changed, and they looked at Adam in horror.

  The evil spirits gathered by the two methods of father and son are definitely not comparable to what Abel gathered just now, and Adam can still face it calmly! Although on this occasion tonight, the two of them did not make full use of this move, but it is shocking that Adam can block it alone!

  And just as the two were shocked, Adam’s words even shocked the audience, “What I want to announce is that from today, we will be taken over by the Obicris family by a dark wizard from our Satan line.”

"……"what? !

  Take over the Obicris family? The line of Satan... black, black wizard?

  Some people were stunned, some were dumbfounded, and some were puzzled. But many Western entrepreneurs present changed their faces after hearing this, including the three of Spell.

  People from other countries may be a little unfamiliar with wizards, but people in Western society have heard of wizards. After all, with such a famous family as Obicris, people are not unfamiliar with the White Wizard. Not only is it no stranger, people who often go to church are also full of respect for the white wizards, and the celebrities in the upper circles often ask the white wizards to fortune-telling.

  But what's the matter with the dark wizard? It still exists now?

"Adam! Do you know what you are talking about?!" Abel was furious. He didn't expect that Adam would tell the secrets that the family had hidden for many years in front of these international celebrities. He was even more affected by his words that he would take over the family. shock.

  Adam turned his head with a weird smile and said, "Why, my brother, did you finally recognize me?"

   Suspiciously, Abel was startled, his face flushed instantly. He just now conclusively concluded that Adam was mentally insane, and now he recognized him. At this moment, the eyes of the guests in the hall were enough to make him want to find a hole in it.

"Adam, the family is not sorry for you. Why do you want to damage the reputation of the family in front of so many people? I know that you are a year younger than Biaber and have a higher talent than him. You have always wanted to be the first heir, but these things are ours. If you have any dissatisfaction with the family affairs, you can discuss with the clan elders, why should you openly spread rumors? Yes, there are still some people who know black magic, but there are very few people who can be called black wizards. Our family's long-term efforts, do you want to erase the glory of the family because of your rumor?" Andre said angrily at this time.

  His words were naturally nonsense, but the people present were not clear about it, and they were confused when they heard this. It sounds like this is a problem caused by the Obicris family because of the inheritance. This young man named Adam seems to be unable to inherit, so he impulsively made a rumor and smeared the family.

  But is it really like this?

  Everyone looked at Adam and felt that no matter how they looked, this young man didn't seem to be someone who would do such irrational things.

Adam did not respond to Andre’s accusations, but looked at him with a smile, “Uncle Andre, apart from announcing the takeover of the family tonight, I have to ask uncle for something that belongs to our Satan line. "

  "Something? What is it?" Andre was taken aback.

   "The half of the sheepskin scroll." Adam laughed.

  "Lambskin rolls?" Andre was stunned.

  "I have received reliable information. The half of the sheepskin scroll has been found, but it has arrived in your hands."

   "You, what are you talking nonsense!" Abel's face changed. Although he was sure Adam was talking nonsense, he suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Adam smiled unhurriedly and said: "Uncle Andre, it's not interesting to conceal now. We Satan's people are looking for the half of the parchment in mainland China, and the earl sent you to help, but you are not called assistance, but stealing. I know that you are very afraid that I will find the parchment and give it to the earl. I am afraid that Satan will take the opportunity to ask the earl for the right to inherit the family, but it is really immoral for you to do so. The earl gave us a deadline. If you can’t find the parchment. , We are willing to be punished. But now we have found it, do you want to kill Satan's line by doing this?"

  Adam spoke sincerely, but Andre and Abel heard it inexplicably. The two knew that he was talking nonsense, but they couldn't stop talking, because Adam then turned his gaze to Tang Zongbo.

"I have information to prove that when Mr. Tang was besieged and killed, the half of the sheepskin scroll was left nearby. I once suspected that the sheepskin scroll was later acquired by Mr. Don. At the beginning of the year, I went to Hong Kong to beg to see Mr. Tang. Sir, but Mr. Tang did not admit it at the time. Afterwards, I could only send someone to search in mainland China, but during the search, I got news again that the parchment was indeed acquired by Mr. Tang. However, my father participated in that year. Regarding the siege of Don, he refused to hand over the sheepskin scroll to me. This news of mine was learned by the people sent by your Raphael line to assist, so you contacted him. I know you and Tang The old gentleman made a deal, and he gave you sheepskin rolls, and you helped Xuanmen avenge your revenge."

  Adam spoke slowly, but Andre and Abel's eyes widened.

   "Adam! What are you talking about!"

  "Tonight you two are meeting at Mr. Burton's ball. If I am not mistaken, you must have announced the friendly relationship to the outside world, right?" Adam asked with a smile.

  The expressions of the guests present changed! Indeed it is! Just now Master Andre did come up on stage and said something.

   "I guess you want to use this to give us pressure from Satan, and also to give Mr. Tang a public assurance. That parchment scroll should already be on you now, right?" Adam turned his head and asked.

  Andre and Abel's father and son can't argue with each other! Although these words of Adam are nonsense, they sound really reasonable! However, he is nonsense at all! He said so, what is the purpose in the end? The guests present were completely ignorant of the events of the year, and were afraid that they would not understand what he said.

  Then what does he want to do?

  I was puzzled, just listened to a loud noise in the hall!

  Andre and Abel were taken aback, they saw that everyone in the hall turned their heads and looked towards the door. The father and son raised their heads and took a breath!

At the door, an old man with gray hair and a rickety figure stood at the door with a cane. The old man’s cheeks and chin were covered with beards, and his beard was gray. The thick beard appeared to be a thin face with cheekbones only as big as a palm. . Such an old man who is full of sickness, has very scary eyes, sunken eyes, bloodshot eyes, vigorous evil.

  At night, when such an old man stood at the door, anyone would be shocked when he saw it. The celebrities in the hall were particularly courageous, and they backed away in exclamation. Some women couldn't help but screamed. The crowd quickly separated from the sides and gave way to the middle of the road to shock the sky.

   "...Father, father?" Andre stared at the old man, his eyes stunned.

  But his claim shocked everyone in the living room, "What?! This is...Master Albert?"

   "Isn't it possible? I have met old Mr. Albert, this, this is..."

  "How can this be Master Albert?"

  Even Old Burton's eyes widened. Before Albert announced his retirement, he would often see him. Especially during the years when he was the archbishop of the Royal Cathedral, the old man’s voice and smile often appeared in major magazines and TV stations in the world, and the upper-class people were no strangers to him.

  The current old earl has changed so much from the way he retired three years ago! It's like a person has changed!

  The Obicris family has a very noble lineage. The members of the family are all blonde and blue-eyed, handsome men and women. The old Earl Albert is very stalwart even in his old age. His white beard resembles Santa Claus and is very popular with British children. The children who go to church often play with him. He has always given the world the impression that he is amiable and has a high degree of support among the people.

  In the UK, even if the queen is walking on the street, someone can’t recognize it, and old Albert is walking on the street, he’s sure to be recognized!

   But now he is like this, who can recognize him?

  I heard that the old Earl Albert is not in good health in recent years. After retiring, he retires in the family without seeing any foreign guests. But it's recuperation, how can recuperate into such a scrawny look? Could it be that you are very sick?

  But old Albert didn't look like a patient. He came in with a cane and walked like flying.

  Xia Shao was in the audience with Tang Zongbo, Zhang Zhongxian stood behind with his disciples, and when they saw Old Albert, everyone's eyes dazzled and stared at him.

  The enemy, the last enemy, finally arrived!

  Old Albert, as the culprit behind the events of the year, went all the way, but ignored Tang Zongbo and the disciples of Xuanmen, and went straight to his son.

   "Father, father!" Andre stepped back in shock, now he finally knows why Adam said those things!

  This is a round!

Oops! Oops!

  Andre is flustered, others don’t know his father’s temperament, can he still know? It is precisely because he has been studying black witchcraft at home all these years after he retired that he has caused his whole body to be rickety and his temperament changed drastically. Although he said that he would not lose his sanity, as long as it was about that parchment, he must be irrational. Adam's trick is too dark! Father appeared so suddenly, Andre did not know how to explain for a while, he could only say: "Father, father, you, you, listen to me, this matter is..."

  Unfinished words, the situation has changed suddenly!

  The old Albert didn't get there, he even picked up his cane in his hand and pierced Andrea's heart!

  The hall exclaimed one after another. In the eyes of everyone, this was just a scene of Laozi hitting his son with his cane. Although it was sudden, even if he was hit, it was nothing. However, Xia Shao knew that the stick was not a common product.

  The walking stick is pitch-black all over, radiating cold air, and it shines brightly under the light. This look is that the black crystal stick has absorbed the grievances, the grievances look very similar to the grievances of the dragon scales, and it should come from the dead. The resentment of the dragon scales is sealed by the scabbard made by Xu Tianyin. When not in use, the evil spirit will not leak out, but the old Albert’s cane does not suppress evil spirits. Perhaps he is usually obsessed with black witchcraft. This evil spirit is helpful to him, and he doesn't want to suppress it. But after years of contact with this stick, his body will inevitably be invaded by Yin Sha, and his mind will be affected to a certain extent. No wonder Adam said that he was crazy, and Andre and Andre were both his sons. Because of a parchment with ancient black magic written on it, he actually regarded the affection of his father and son in disregarding the full text of the gods.

   Tiger poison still doesn't eat children, old Albert's mind is now so evil that he doesn't care about the relationship between father and son.

  He pointed to Andre’s heart. If he stabbed, Andre’s heart would be hurt by Yin Sha, and he would be killed on the spot. Andre also knew how great, his face changed drastically and he drew a six-pointed star on his chest, using the vitality of the heavens and the earth to form the shield of David. As he was drawing the shield, Abel pulled him from behind, and the father and son backed quickly together!

  At this time, the shield of David is complete! The vitality of heaven and earth in the whole villa was first attracted. The celebrities present could not see the magnificent vitality of heaven and earth. They only saw Andre drew a few imaginary pictures on his chest. The scene was like being at an auction in the morning. Over there, Xia Shao and the Japanese Onmyoji master made face-to-face gestures. It's just that no one is curious to watch a show tonight. After all, this is between father and son!

what happened?

  Everyone was at a loss, but they saw the cane in the hands of the old Earl Albert also quickly drew something in the air.

  In this painting of him, the people present suddenly felt chills in their backs, and they had hallucinations as if they were in the morning, and they saw Hessen’s gas flashing on the head of the cane in a trance!

  The guests are still opening their mouths, and they are in the wonderful feeling of illusion or reality, but the faces of the disciples of the Xuanmen are all sinking!

  Old Albert actually didn't paint anything. He just turned his cane a few times in the air, and he let out all the fierceness of the magical instruments, and the gloom around the villa surged like a river! At this moment, the evil evil spirits invisible to ordinary people at the door poured in like splashed ink, strangling and infiltrating into the cane, forming a evil sword, piercing straight into the center of David's shield.

  This is a very overbearing move. It does not require any spells, but only directly defeats it with evil spirits!

But this trick is also vicious. If you fight outside in the open, it’s okay. There are so many guests in the hall at this moment, and the magical power of the magic weapon is fully released. This is extremely harmful to the body of ordinary people. It is just a blink of an eye. I’m afraid Many people now feel cold in their hands and feet. Obviously, Andre’s cultivation base cannot be compared with the old Albert, but because of this, the shield of David gathered by Andre exerts all his cultivation skills. This shield is no better than that when Xia Shao and Adam were fighting the law that night. How much is the difference? At this moment, not only is the vitality coming from the world in the villa, but also the vitality is being drawn on the sea behind the villa. Once the two collide, the villa will immediately collapse!

  There are so many people here, the people of the Xuanmen can avoid it, but the others have only the fate of being buried.

  "Bastard!" At the critical moment, Tang Zongbo yelled, and his vigorous inner strength shook out, shocking the guests who had already become confused in the presence of their minds instantly awakened and awakened!

   "Go outside to be liquidated!" Tang Zongbo was sitting under the stage, and old Albert was facing him. When he spoke, his palm shook! A huge wind swept up out of thin air, swept old Albert's waist, and slapped people out!

  Xia Shao moved when he took out his palm! The dragon scales out of her sheath instantly, and the strong resentment lifted from bottom to top, and slashed straight to the cane in old Albert's hand. At the same time, Xia Shao's palm shook out with the same force as the master's. Combine it together and fan people out!

  The time when the dragon scales were unsheathed, there seemed to be screams of resentment and wailing in the living room, as if the gate of the nether world had been opened, the strong resentment shocked old Albert, and he looked back! Looking back, two vigorous strengths have arrived! Both Tang Zongbo and Xia Shao were refining their cultivation bases. Even if one of them confronted old Albert, he didn't dare to take it lightly, let alone two? When he was shocked by the evil spirit of the dragon scale dagger, he did not dare to deal with these two strengths easily, so he flashed to the side agilely following these two strengths, and jumped out!

  Xia Shao jumped out and chased after him, and the voice came in with the fishy night breeze, "Lao Zhang, my master gave it to you! Let the disciples protect the guests!"

  －－－－－－Off topic－－－－－－

  I’ll go, it hurts self-esteem too much, you guys actually choose two!

  In order to punish Naimen's love-making, I decided to cut a thousand words!

   Just kidding, it's a thousand words short, make up tomorrow morning.
