Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

Chapter 916 Ending the court meeting



But father... the city lord!

Seeing Morgan admitting that Horus was a demigod, Charles, who had witnessed the Lord of Light and Shadow with his own eyes, almost yelled Father in a panic.

As a devout believer, and Charles, who claims to be the savior of mankind, it is naturally impossible to admit that Horus is a demigod. He immediately wanted to argue with Morgan:

It was the blessing of the Lord of Light and Shadow that allowed us to...

Enough! However, Morgan told Charles to shut up in a straight tone:

This matter has nothing to do with the Lord of Light and Shadow. The fact that the guests come from other universes...is right in front of our eyes. Don't you feel ashamed?

This is.

Seeing that Morgan's attitude became tough, Charles could only nod angrily and promise that he would not trouble Arthur and Horus anymore.

?

'At the beginning? ’Through the dialogue between the castellan and his son, Arthur couldn't help but ask himself.

He could see that yellow-haired Charles' desire for power, but he didn't expect that guy to be a true believer.

Arthur originally thought that the religion of the Lord of Light and Shadow was a fabricated god to better control the lighthouse. Now it seems that the Lord of Light and Shadow may be a real 'person' or 'thing'.

Hey. However, Horus didn't think so long, and just glanced at Charles with disdain.

Because in Horus' cognition, no matter whether the Lord of Light and Shadow really exists or not, it is just rubbish that can be solved with one punch, one spear, one halberd or one arrow.

paused.

Your Excellency. Arthur said to Morgan with his hands behind his back:

We don't need anything in return, after all, the passage back to our universe is destroyed, we just hope to have a place to rest.

Don't worry, we will do our best to assist the lighthouse to survive in this doomsday where the beasts are rampant.

Hum... Hearing this, Morgan didn't agree immediately.

Anyway, Arthur and his troops were outsiders, and there was a god-like Horus present.

If he was a powerful city lord, he would naturally not tolerate Arthur staying in the lighthouse, but everything Morgan did was for human beings.

Moreover, if it weren't for Arthur's sudden arrival, according to the original plot of The Spirit Cage, Morgan would have passed the position of mayor to Mark at this court meeting instead of the blood-related Charles.

From this point of view alone, Morgan can be regarded as a city lord who is dedicated to human beings, but he is definitely not a 'good' city lord.

The yellow-haired Charles finally became a big dutiful son, and all the troubles were planted by Morgan.

Passing the position of city lord to Mark was already unacceptable to Charles, but Morgan still wanted to hand over the Light and Shadow Club to Mark, which was equivalent to killing Charles.

Therefore, the lighthouse became as chaotic as it was at the end of the first season, and even Ran Bing's death in the final chapter was inseparable from Morgan.

Even if Morgan was killed by his own son, it was entirely his own fault and not worthy of sympathy.

There was a moment of silence.

Morgan turned to look at Mark, who was also paralyzed, and asked for advice: Mark, what do you think of Mr. Russell's request?

I don't have any opinion. Mark glanced at Arthur who was standing beside him, stepped forward, and expressed his personal opinion:

Although we hunters and Mr. Russell spent a short time together, we fought together to repel the Pole Devourer. During this period, we also saw the strength of Mr. Russell's command.

I believe that if Mr. Russell wanted to take the lighthouse, he could have done it the moment I led them to the lighthouse.

Therefore, I agree with Mr. Russell to stay at the lighthouse, so that our hunter team can effectively avoid casualties when collecting supplies.

Well, good. Morgan nodded with satisfaction after listening to Mark's words, and said:

Since Captain Mark has no objection, then (looking at Arthur again) Mr. Russell, the lighthouse welcomes you.

However, if you want to live in the lighthouse, you need to carry out genetic testing to distinguish the Shangmin from the Dust. I hope Mr. Russell can understand this decision.

Of course. Arthur didn't seem to even think about it, so he answered readily.

Faced with Arthur's willing consent, Morgan was a little confused, but he didn't have time to delve into Arthur's intentions.

The old city lord could only respond with a smile on his face. He first looked at Carrie and said, Dr. Carrie, I will leave it to you to test the pros and cons of Mr. Russell and his subordinates' genes.

no problem.

subsequently.

Morgan said to Jingnan again: Jingnan, the guests were brought here by you, so it's up to you to arrange accommodation for the guests, and take Mr. Russell to familiarize yourself with the lighthouse.

Yes, Santo.

Okay. Morgan stood up at the end, looked down at the people in the hall and said:

That's all for today's court meeting, Mark, you stay here, I have something to say to you alone.

?

Mark was taken aback for a moment, but still nodded and said, Yes.

!

Charles, who had been staring at Horus and Arthur with 'resentful' eyes, was taken aback when he heard Morgan's words, but after he regained his composure, he cast his 'resentful' eyes on Mark and Morgan.

In the end, Charles had no choice but to endure the resentment, and left the hall with Vatican the Light Bearer.

The uncles and nephews Arthur and Horus followed Jingnan and Carrie to prepare for the genetic test to distinguish the Shangmin from the dusty, so they also left here.

The rest of Jessica, Ran Bing and Elon had a close relationship and left the hall together.

Immediately afterwards, Morgan waved his hand again, signaling Victor and the guards guarding here to retreat.

In the end, only Morgan and Mark were left in the hall.

Mark, come up and talk.

Yes, my lord.

Mark stepped up the steps and came to Morgan's side.

Morgan, on the other hand, left his seat, turned to look at the clouds outside the window, and the sunset that was about to set in the distance. After a few seconds of silence, he said meaningfully to Mark:

Mark, I originally wanted to pass on the position of city lord to you at today's court meeting.

But Lord City Lord...

Don't rush to refuse.

Morgan raised his right hand to block Mark's speech, and continued to look at the hanging area outside the window, as well as the dust people doing repairs, maintenance and other work on the hanging area, and said:

But too many things happened today. The man named Arthur Russell alone is enough to change the current situation of the lighthouse. We don't know the other party's true intentions. Mark, you can't be too simple.

Morgan said, turned around to face Mark, raised his left hand and patted Mark's right shoulder heavily, and said in a heavy tone:

Remember one sentence, 'Never trust others easily', the lighthouse still needs to continue its voyage, and you must be at the helm, understand?

... Mark frowned, obviously not very interested in the position of city lord, but still nodded and said:

I will try my best.

Well, go on, the hunter still needs your leadership.

Yes, my lord.
