Chapter 1638: Chapter 81: Wild Night Second Movement (Part 2)

"Friedrich?"

Upon hearing the name, the nightclub became instantly restless. Who among those present hadn’t heard of the name, who didn’t know what kind of status he held within that faction?

His public appearance here, does it signify....? One phone call after another rang out, and moments later, everyone’s expression had changed.

This was not a hostage situation isolated from information; now everyone knew that the outside was controlled by members of Miller and other families.

Just like when Fatty had just killed Miller, except now the situation was reversed—once Fatty walked out, he’d be the one with a gun pointed at his head.

And Friedrich’s arrival was the other side’s most staunch response to Hastings.

"Didn’t you choose this way to demonstrate your power?"

"Then, in front of everyone, we’ll completely tear off your guise of strength, and in this way, announce the arrival of a post-Hastings era!"

"Looks like you’ve already controlled the outside?" Margaret stood up and gracefully approached Friedrich’s attendant, making a turn.

The attendant kept a polite smile on his face, but there was clear disdain and pride in his eyes.

Some people’s hearts sank, originally thinking to align with the Hastings family, gradually dissolving into the thin mist of the wind, dispersing.

Clearly, this was already a dead end. A dead end for both Fatty and Margaret.

Though it’s unclear what Friedrich’s intentions were here, after killing Miller, the chances of Fatty and Margaret leaving alive were less than one in ten thousand.

If they were to die here, neither the Hastings family nor the bandit army, no matter how tempting, would be anything but a fantasy.

It’s known that Hastings is already critically ill. Without Fatty, without Margaret, who will lead the bandit army and the Hastings family in the future?

Maybe they won’t have to wait for Hastings to die, just wait for the sun to shine on Hydefield once again, and the Hastings family will already be swept into the dust of history.

People whispered, only Jillian and McCarthy wore expressions of calm.

A previous childish gamble had already announced their stance, at this point, they showed not the slightest intention to renege.

"Hehe." The drunken Fatty staggered to stand up. With a wave, a Hastings family’s bodyguard strode to his side, holding in his hand the modified imitation M1 Garand-style sniper rifle Milan had made for him.

In the midst of the silence, Fatty grabbed the gun and walked boldly towards the nightclub door.

Suddenly, David Kelly, who had been watching him silently, spoke up, "General Tian, hold on."

Fatty turned his flushed face, squinting his drunken eyes slightly.

"I just discussed with my family," Kelly raised his glass, gesturing to Fatty, "the Kelly family will become loyal allies of the bandit army and the Hastings family, starting tonight."

His gaze swept over Jillian and McCarthy’s faces, speaking softly, "I suppose the Edwards family and the McCarthy family have likely already called Lord Hastings by now, their people must be on the way. So, why don’t we wait a bit longer?"

As soon as David finished speaking, Shen Daqi, who had been silent all along, suddenly said, "The Shen family too!"

Shen Daqi always seemed to have that cold demeanor, speaking sparingly. From the moment he entered Devil’s Paradise, this was his first sentence, only five words.

Yet, these five words instantly stirred up a storm. Everyone present was stunned by David and Shen Daqi’s declarations at this critical moment.

The Kelly family and Shen family were both among the six great families; adding the McCarthy family meant four out of the six families had united.

Plus, Jillian’s Edwards family and Tom Smith’s Smith family, always closely tied to Shen Daqi, along with the second-tier families advancing or retreating with these families, it can be said that tonight, a force capable of shaking the entire Feiyang military-political system is forming.

Why?

Is it because of the bandit army’s thirty armored divisions, all consisting of Level 9 Mech Knights, or because of the mech technology in their hands capable of influencing the entire war’s outcome, or is it the yet-to-surface new alliance?

Do they not understand that once Fatty and Margaret perish, all this will vanish into smoke?

Until the opposition wins the presidential elections, until Hastings dies, the Leefer Group, which already largely controls the Fei Alliance Council and Feiyang Military, will face no adversaries.

The new alliance will be dismantled, the bandit army will be divided, the technology will be seized!

With David and Shen Daqi’s wisdom, how could they not comprehend?

Amidst the uproar, Fatty directed a sincere smile toward David and the others who were watching him.

"Our Leray Federation’s Admiral Bernadotte is still lying in the hospital." He lit a cigarette and shouldered his gun.

"I know." David nodded.

"The first time I saw him, I could barely recognize him." In Fatty’s drunken eyes, a light flickered.

David remained silent, along with McCarthy, Jillian, and Shen Daqi.
