Under one person: I, Zhang Zhiwei, the arrogant Zhang

Meanwhile, in the meeting room of the Palace of Westminster.

Twelve high-backed chairs formed a circle, and the flames on the candlesticks flickered, reflecting the coat of arms of the Knights of the Round Table of successive generations on the wall.

Knights wearing silver masks sat around a round table, and the atmosphere was extremely gloomy.

They are the twelve Knights of the Round Table of the Royal Anglican Order of Great Britain. They have a high status and each of them is an important figure in the empire. Few things can alarm them, let alone all twelve of them gathering together.

Hircine sat in the first seat, with long silver hair combed neatly and deep grey eyes.

Behind him, the butler Walter stood with his hands crossed, standing there respectfully.

The other eleven knights sat around the round table, frowning and silent, waiting for Captain Hircine to speak.

Although many of them were hereditary dukes of the empire, with noble blood and high status, they were impressed by Hircine's strength, and even those who had originally complained about him now showed great respect.

"The Tiantong Sect Master has come to London. What do you think?"

Even though he had already made up his mind, Hircine still asked for other people's opinions.

To be able to become the leader of the Twelve Knights of the Round Table as a witcher, he relied not only on his strength, but also on his ability to handle various human relationships.

In short, Hircine is a very manly man. People around him may despise his bloodline in secret, but they will still give him enough respect in person.

Hircine spoke, and the other Knights of the Round Table also spoke one after another.

"He destroyed our weapons in the Magic City. When have we ever suffered such a loss? We must retaliate and kill him!" An old man with a grim face said in a cold voice.

"London is our territory. Even the Pope of the Catholic Church has to bow his head if he comes, let alone a 'Qing Dynasty insect'. Kill him and make his head into an exhibit and put it in the British Museum!" said another old man in a cold voice.

"It's not impossible to kill him, but what about the benefits? What can we gain? A devastated city, and a knight group with heavy casualties? It's really unwise to spend such a huge price just for a fight of pride."

An old knight tapped his fingers on the table and spoke slowly.

The other knights echoed his sentiments.

Among the Knights of the Round Table, except for a very few reckless men, most of them are extremely outstanding conspirators, who are best at offshore balancing, sowing discord, and making trouble.

"If we don't use force against him, how are we supposed to deal with him?" a knight said. "He showed up in London without warning. If we just ignore him, the dignity of the Knights will be destroyed. The most important thing is, if he creates a mess like the one in the Magic City, how are we supposed to deal with it?"

Another person said, "He passed by the magic house in South Iwo Jima not long ago, but he did not attack the magic house. He just used a teleportation route. During this process, some Japanese wizards in the magic house secretly attacked him, but he killed them in return. However, he did not vent his anger on the magic house. This series of actions shows that this person can communicate and is not a crazy demon who kills indiscriminately. Perhaps we can send someone to talk to him. After all, we have done a lot of business with Oriental people and understand their nature."

"Business, opium business?" A knight sneered. He snapped his fingers, and a milky white light flashed in his hand, twisting it into the shape of a pipe. "This is not a topic worth bringing up."

Another knight said, "The opium business has nothing to do with us, and it can't be blamed on us, so just let it go. As for talking to the Tiantong Sect Leader... we can indeed talk, but we must first figure out his purpose, otherwise we will be too passive."

The others looked at Helsing. They all knew that it was Helsing's people who had been in contact with the Sassoon family. Whether to protect the Sassoon family or not should be decided by Helsing.

Hirsing said: "Although the Sassoon family is greedy, they can bring great benefits to the empire every year. They are like a fat sheep. If you don't kill them, you can get the wool. If you kill them, you can eat the meat."

Hiersin paused and continued, "As for whether to keep them for profit or kill them for meat, it depends on the leader of Tiantong Sect."

"What do you mean?" someone asked.

Hirsing said: "Since he came here, we naturally have to show some appreciation. Now, he has gone to the manor of the Sassoon family, and the people of the Sassoon family have gone into hiding, so he is doomed to fail."

"But this also gives us room to play. We can use the name of the Shasun Family to go to the Assassin's League, spend some money, and hire a few experts to assassinate him."

"If we can succeed by chance, that would be the best."

"If I fail, but Tiantong Sect Leader is seriously injured, that's not bad either. Then, I can personally take action to eliminate him."

"But if the killer poses no threat to him and he easily takes care of him, then the risk of us taking action against him is quite high. It is not worthwhile to kill him by force. It is better to win him over and make friends with him. A strong friend is always better than a strong enemy."

"And the way to win him over is to tell him where the Shasun family is hiding. In the East, this seems to be called a pledge of allegiance."

"Although this word may sound unpleasant, and it makes us feel like we are inferior, but those are just meaningless empty names. Only tangible benefits are the most important."

"If you make friends with him, you will have the opportunity to use him. Such a strong fighting force is very tempting. Of course, after making this decision, you must pay enough costs. Unless there is enough benefit, you can't waver easily."

Helsing's words made everyone fall into deep thought. Anyone who could sit at the round table meeting could not be a pure reckless man. He could make harsh words but would not act on impulse. Helsing's words sounded very feasible.

A knight said: "We paid a lot to control Akado. What will we have to pay to control this Tiantong Sect Master?"

Hircine said: "He is different from Akado. Akado is a violent beast. Although he is hard to tame, there is always a way."

"And the Tiantong Sect Leader is a wise and decisive person. Most importantly, his strength is much greater than Akado's."

"So, we can't treat him the same way we treated Akado. Wild beasts need to be tamed, and strong men need to be won over."

"How to win him over? Cater to his interests? What do he like?" someone asked.

Hiersing said: "He is a Taoist priest. In a sense, Taoist priests are similar to monks. They are both selfless and have no desires. Such people are the most difficult to win over. However..."

Helsing changed the subject: "He is not a Taoist priest in the traditional sense. He seems to have expressed a strong concern for his country. This is a good breakthrough point."

"His country is weak and precarious, but our country is strong and unrivalled, and the sun never sets on our land."

"So, we only need to provide some small, insignificant support to his country internationally, and we should be able to gain his favor, and even use this as a condition to make him work for us."

When everyone heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up and they all praised Hirsing's decision.

A slight curve appeared at the corner of Hircine's mouth. He was the leader of the Knights of the Round Table and was extremely powerful.

But in fact, he doesn't like to vent his pure force on others. He prefers to attack people's hearts and play offshore balancing skills.

When he tried to subdue Akado, his strength was actually enough to defeat Akado directly, but he didn't.

He used some means to turn Akado's lover against the vampire and transformed him from a vampire into a human.

This made Akado, who had nothing to begin with, become penniless, and also caused his mental defenses to completely collapse as he had always been ashamed of his monster identity.

Then, he used a series of means to turn him into his slave.

He is not a powerful knight who abides by the code of chivalry and walks in the light. He is a powerful and ambitious man with the identity of a knight who will do anything to achieve his goal.

But for an ambitious person, friends and enemies are just a matter of thought; only interests are eternal.

Hiersin said in a deep voice: "While befriending the Tiantong Sect Leader, the sacrificed Shasun family cannot be wasted. We can take over the various industries of the Shasun family and slaughter the sheep for meat."

After Helsing finished speaking, the other knights applauded. This was indeed a good idea. No matter what, they would not lose anything. The most they could earn was just a little more or less.

"Is the killer ready?" someone asked.

Hirsing nodded and said, "I asked Walter to make the arrangements during the meeting. The killer should be on the way."

"How strong is it?" someone asked.

"I'm definitely not as strong as the leader of Tiantong, but assassination is not a competition. Simply measuring strength is meaningless. Even tigers can nap sometimes. Even the strongest people can be careless sometimes. Even I am no exception. It all depends on whether the killer can seize the fleeting opportunity to strike." Hailsing said.

“Okay, okay!”

The Knights of the Round Table nodded in satisfaction: "Now we just have to wait for news from the Assassin's League."

Trent Park is located in the north of London and covers a large area. Hundreds of years ago, it was designated as a royal hunting ground by Henry IV. Now it has become the property of the Sassoon family.

Zhang Zhiwei and his party arrived at Trent Park, and there was a checkpoint with an iron wall in front of them.

Passing through the wall, there are large areas of green shade, with red squirrels jumping around, creating a wild and interesting scenery. Occasionally, you can see water wheels by the water.

"These foreigners really know how to enjoy themselves!" Lu Ci couldn't help but sigh.

"Their enjoyment is built on piles of corpses!" Lu Jin said.

"There's no need for your hypocritical reminder. We are here to kill their entire family. I just hope you won't be soft-hearted later!" Lu Ci said.

Lu Jin stopped talking. Although he had come and although he did not object to eradicating the entire Shasun family, he might not be able to bring himself to do it to some women and children.

"Tsk!" Lu Ci sneered, "I knew you were not capable of this. When the time comes, I will leave the young and strong men to you, and I will handle the dirty work. It will be fine as long as you don't cause any trouble."

"Bullshit, when have I ever caused any trouble?" Lu Jin said unconvinced.

"Really?" Lu Ci was just about to say that when they were eradicating the Changming wild family in Quan Xing, Lu Jin was right there making things worse.

But at this moment, a murderous intent spread in the quiet park. Lu Ci's face changed, and he moved to dodge. Lu Jin also activated the reverse life state in an instant, and Tian Jinzhong stretched out his golden light spell.

Zhang Zhiwei was very calm. He identified the source of the murderous intent in an instant.

He was very calm. He did not hide himself too much when he came to London this time, otherwise he would not have come here by Floo Network.

He was even prepared for a series of battles, but after he arrived, everything was too calm and no one chose to attack him, which surprised him a little. Now someone finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"Are you from the Sassoon family?"

As soon as they arrived at the Shasun family park, they were attacked. Zhang Zhiwei naturally thought that the attackers were from the Shasun family.

He looked towards the place where the murderous intent was revealed, where two dark shadows suddenly appeared.

The speed of the two black shadows was not fast, but strangely, Lu Jin, Lu Ci and Tian Jinzhong did not react in time.

They were still making the same expressions and movements with dull faces, as if they were half a beat slow.

As they moved, the dust raised by their feet rose from the ground and slowly bloomed like a flower.

Zhang Zhiwei looked up at the sky. It was blue and cloudless. A group of birds were flying in the sky with their wings spread out. But what was strange was that they were gliding slowly as if the video was zoomed in at 0.5x.

Everything in this world is slowing down, as if someone pressed the slow button on the player.

The sounds in the air became distorted in this slow speed.

"It's not that they were half a beat slower, but that the two black shadows were half a beat faster than them."

"The chaotic golden watchtower..."

Zhang Zhiwei immediately thought of this sorcerer's magic, but then he denied these two answers. He did not feel any strange pattern rising around him. Could it be the time ability of alchemy?
