Cold sweat broke out on Ernest Hayes' forehead, and his fingers trembled slightly.

He didn't expect that the person who was the most unlikely person to appear before would actually be in the same city as him at this moment.

The previous intelligence clearly deduced that the person who was investigating them was a Sarkic Patriarch with incredible strength, but now the think tank told him that those who were chasing them were the Four Sword-wielding Men from Heaven.

He was also asked to lead a team to hunt the sword-wielding man...

No, what did [Helmi] think!?

The Captain of Team Rocket took a deep breath, looked up at the stars, and tried to calm down.

The twinkling stars in the night sky seemed to be staring at him, making him feel as if he was being stared at by countless pairs of eyes.

He looked at the resources given to him by [Helmi].

Since the consortium has asked itself to hunt the sword-wielding man, it should be ready to hemorrhage a lot of money.

【bite--】

[The consortium has handed over the authority of the split think tank to you——]

[Your previous [Crown] admission application has been approved——]

[The Solomon keys of the other two members, including you, have been untied from the consortium's genealogy, but they have all been injected into the split think tank, and they have all operating rights over the think tank——]

[Awakening of the Inner Temple. Except for Ou Wei, who was killed in battle and was sent to the great warlock ceremony place, the other 11 controllable flesh recipients who have completed the flesh inscription have gathered in the casino. They have the ability of a new type of incarnation, and their combat power

Equivalent to the combat power of the [Master] with an overall rating of A from the eleven consortia——】

[In addition to these, other sub-units of the consortium will also participate in this hunt——]

[At present, the consortium has authorized eleven flesh recipients through the [Meat House], which means that in addition to the eleven [Master] combat powers, you will also receive eleven root-distorted anomaly assistance.

The superposition of these anomalies is enough to obliterate a medium-to-large hub, a kingdom of all realms, and a [Crowned One]...]

[You have only two goals:

A: Get rid of the sword holder (at any cost, even if the casino is reduced to ashes)

B: Delay time (we will wake up "Ion" one day early, so tonight, today, you cannot let the sword holder leave the Silver State)】

[In addition to these, there is another thing prepared for you. If you are ready to accept the task, open it——]

Seeing these lines of text, Ernest's pupils suddenly contracted, his breathing became rapid, and his heart beat violently.

He stared at the screen in disbelief, his fingers trembling slightly.

The captain of Team Rocket was filled with shock at this moment, and he could hardly calm down.

"The consortium... is actually willing to pay such a high price for this..." the captain whispered to himself, with a trace of trembling in his voice that was difficult to conceal, and a complex light flashing in his eyes, revealing his inner shock and uneasiness.

The consortium was so determined to deal with the sword-wielding man that they even did not hesitate to reduce the casino to ashes.

He knew very well what such a decision meant.

You must know that the foundation of the consortium is in the Edici Federation.

The ideas Hermes built grew out of a deep distrust of power, politics, and social control, and speculation about the underlying power dynamics outside formal political structures.

The essence of the Hermes Corporation is the shadow government.

They are composed of a group of elites unknown to the public. These people may be senior politicians, executives of large multinational companies, financial figures, military leaders or former senior officials of intelligence agencies - these people influence through non-public channels.

Or control the country, or even the international policies of Terra as a whole.

Although the Hermes Foundation is called a consortium, they are a secret, informal group just like the shadow government. They only control or greatly influence the decision-making of the formal government behind the scenes.

Within the consortium, except for the top management and the think tanks that maintain necessary connections within the consortium, internal members may not even meet each other.

It is precisely because of this high level of secrecy that they can control or influence mainstream media and information channels behind the scenes to shape public opinion, hide the truth, and promote their agenda.

The Hermes Foundation originated from the Federation, but the Federation is not all of it.

Eddie Simin's consortium is a "shadow government" that bypasses the constitutional system with secret policies and suppresses and controls the people through the power of a reign of terror.

Surrounding the shadow government are the "deep groups" composed of huge military industries and consortiums that bribe Congress through lobbying and political donations.

Outside the Federation, members of the Consortium come from all over the world.

There are twenty-six countries of the Central Alliance, including Efland, the Berlin area, the Fog City, the British Isles, and Iberia, as well as the ancient Persian Empire, the Daevite border warlords, the Oletin city-states, and the Oaxaca Ten

Six Kingdoms, Albanos, Paeonia, Troy...

These countries all have the shadow of the Hermes Consortium.

Even the Sarkic Order has the shadow and investment of the consortium. Among them, the largest investment is the self-proclaimed "Ion" - Corinius?

The palace awakens.

The Hermes Syndicate is the hotbed of all conspiracy theories and the best script for various movies involving political themes, transnational crimes, and mysterious organizations.

Because its members are spread all over the world, covering politics, finance, science, education, and art.

It is not only closely related to the French Revolution, the Edici War of Independence, the War of Thaumaturgy, the Financial Crisis, and the War of Political Subversion, but also has close ties with the world's financial center, Financial Street, and governments of various countries.

But now, in order to hunt the sword-wielding man, the consortium is even willing to expose the characteristics of the shadow government.

You must know that the deep group operates on "money", "power" and "greed". These three are the driving forces of the deep group.

The deep government relies on "fear" and "intimidation."

The shadow government can be called a secret government. It is an institution that secretly exercises unconstitutional power. Many of its constituent units are not regulated by the constitution.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At the top of the deep or secret government's internal structure are two units, one of which is the National Security Agency.

The other hub is the CIA.

These two institutions are the central nodes for the consortium to operate outside the Edici Constitution. It operates through its own right of confidentiality. Even Congress, the Twelve Financial Giants and [Hermes] are not completely aware of what it is doing.

.

As the center of the shadow government, the CIA controls all 16 other intelligence agencies.

They don't make decisions all the time, they only make decisions at critical times.

The inactive shadow government has no real impact, but when it fully exerts its force, the entire federation will be coerced by them to move forward for a certain period of time.

This is something the federal government is unwilling to see, and it is also something the consortium is unwilling to try.

Because once exposed to the sun, many of the Hermes Consortium's touches will be completely liquidated by the federal government afterwards.

In order to hunt the sword-wielding man, the consortium is ready to cut off the arms of the strong men in the Federation.

In terms of resource allocation and attitude towards the fourth sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven, the performance of the Hermes Foundation can only be said in one sentence - Miracle Crown, would you rather have the seed?

Whether it’s a crown or an angel, it’s not like the Hermes Consortium has never killed anyone before.

They even controlled the total collapse of the [Financial Street] back then, causing the twenty-four countries of Oaxaca to collapse into the current sixteen countries.

4.5 million Oaxacan civilians are buried here, as well as many extraordinary troops including the Kingdom of Heaven.

Of course, the price of this incident was that the Bright Relief Society, the predecessor of the consortium, was completely destroyed.

However, within a hundred years, they were resurrected as the Hermes Consortium.

Every organization has its core program, and they also have the same core program as the Utopia of Heaven - the New Order.

The ultimate goal of the consortium is to achieve global domination or a new world order, and achieve its goal of controlling mankind by manipulating economic, political and social events.

As mentioned before - "money", "power", "greed".

These three make up Hermes.

For the new order, the consortium is willing to make any efforts and attempts, just as the Kingdom of Heaven is willing to give everything for Utopia. No person or organization on this earth is a fuel-efficient lamp.

In the past, the beneficiaries of the consortium did not hesitate to trigger a large-scale financial tsunami in order to gain profits from the Seventh Supernatural War.

Now, the beneficiaries of the consortium are preparing for the upcoming Eighth Supernatural War, the stars approaching Terra and the imminent outside gods and other related crises. They have decided to save the power they can at all costs.

This power can be used to fight disasters in the future, to escape from Terra, or even to become a [Terminator] and stand as an ally to these "crises".

This time the consortium is interested in the border project of human genetic compilation headed by Corinius P. Birdfield II.

The fourth sword-bearer of Heaven who hinders the plan...

Get rid of him!!!

Will the Hermes Foundation be afraid of the Kingdom of Heaven?

Won't!

They will only be afraid of no profit and too little profit, just like nature is afraid of a vacuum.

Once there is appropriate profit, the consortium becomes bolder.

If there is 10% profit, it is guaranteed to be used everywhere; if there is 20% profit, it will become active; if there is 50% profit, it will take desperate risks; for 100% profit, it will dare to trample all human laws; with

With 300% profit, he would dare to commit any crime, even risk facing the kingdom of heaven.

A [Miracle Worker], a dreamy border world, a genetically compiled future world about the future of mankind... enough to allow the consortium to commit any crime!

At this moment, Captain Ernest of Team Rocket looked at the gift given to him by [Helmi], and his heart rose in his throat.

Floating in front of him was a piece of parchment. The paper was densely covered with ancient runes. These runes emitted powerful distortion and abnormal energy. The EVE particles in the air were preparing for the effects of these runes.
