"It turns out that this is the nuclear weapon you are talking about. Such a small bomb can easily completely wipe out a city. It is really terrifying and unbelievable."
Looking through the text descriptions with pictures in the magazine, Iskandar showed a solemn expression for the first time on his face.
He also realized how ridiculous his ambition to conquer the world was in front of Nuclear Deterrence.
Don't talk about conquering the world!
Even regional conflicts and wars that cause a little more noise may lead to the regression of the entire human civilization or even its demise.
"That's why I say that your ideas have long been outdated and outdated. Humanity has not stood still in the past two thousand years, especially in the past two hundred years. Science, thought, and technology have been developing rapidly, and weapons are evolving at a rapid pace. Even if you can give yourself a legal identity, and then use your strong personal charm to win the election in a certain country It is impossible to maintain power like in the past, at least for one or two terms, or at most three or five terms, and finally retreat. And I strongly doubt whether you can handle the current complex international situation and serious internal contradictions and contradictions. The most important thing is that you cannot eliminate dissidents through violence and killing, only through political and legal means."
Allen As he spoke, the contract that had just been signed was stuffed into his pocket.
With the payment completed, this store specializing in selling drinks and desserts is now property in his name. The next thing to do is to wait for the government to complete all formal procedures.
Of course, there are lawyers providing services in this area, so there is no need for him to follow up.
In fact, Allen bought this store just to show off in front of Rider and Queen Consort, and had no real intention to run it.
On the contrary, Sakura, who especially likes sweets, was very happy.
In her opinion, if this dessert shop becomes the property of Allen, then she will be able to come and eat whenever she wants, and eat as much as she wants.
Sometimes, children's ideas are so simple and innocent.
"Hahahaha! Okay! I admit that I have not thought about this at all. But it is interesting because it is difficult! As King of Conquerors, I, Iskandar, will not give in easily."
Rider grabbed a piece of sweet and cloying cake and threw it into his mouth. He raised his head and drank up a liter of ice-cold Happy Fat House Water.
The intake of sugar and calories instantly exceeded the limit!
If you are a normal person, you will get diabetes sooner or later if you eat this way.
Since he knew that Allen was a rich man, he completely let go and ordered a lot of delicious food in one go.
You must know that Waver is a typical poor guy. Although he tries his best to satisfy his Servant desires, his financial resources are limited after all.
If Holy Grail War hadn't lasted for a relatively short time, there was a question mark as to whether this guy could persist until the end.
"I understand! Compared to conquering and plundering, you actually enjoy the sense of accomplishment after overcoming difficulties more." Allen nodded thoughtfully.
He was actually not surprised at all that King of Conquerors had such a personality.
Because many great men in history have made similar remarks.
In other words, those who are successful all have the characteristics of facing difficulties without exception, so they can leap out of the long river of human history and become the objects of praise and research among the very few.
"One more drink!"
Rider obviously liked this fizzy black drink, and immediately waved the empty glass with only ice cubes in his hand at the waiter.
In about ten seconds, the empty cup was filled again.
He first took a big sip with great enjoyment, and then sighed slightly, "Life in this era is so convenient and interesting. Even if I can't realize my ambitions and dreams, there seems to be nothing wrong with living as an ordinary person."
Allen smiled and nodded, "This sentence is not wrong. In addition, I suggest you read those books. Have you read them all?"
"Yeah! I've read them all. Sure enough, in the two thousand years since I died, too many heroes and geniuses have emerged in human society. But Berserker, your understanding of modern society and history is not just because you have read more books, right?"
After going around in circles for a long time, Rider finally clarified the doubts he had always had in his heart.
Like Irisviel, who is thick on the outside and thin on the inside, he is keenly aware of the differences between Allen and other Heroic Spirit.
"No! Of course not! Because I originally lived in a modern society, isn't it natural for me to be familiar with this place?" Allen did not hide anything and admitted it openly.
"Wha... what? Are you a modern person?! How is this possible!" Waver opened his mouth in surprise.
"Why is it impossible? I can even tell you now what will happen in the next twenty years. Including the single-function mobile phone you are using now, in the next ten or twenty years, it will become a miniature version of the mobile terminal, just like the current personal computer, and it will also take care of a series of functions such as taking pictures, video cameras, games, listening to music, watching videos, surfing the Internet, etc." Allen shamelessly acted as a prophet.
Fourth Holy Grail War happened in 1994, and the fifth time was in 2004. For him, it was basically equivalent to "the past".
"Damn! Are you from a more distant future?" Waver was completely stunned, and at the same time, there was strong fear on his pale face.
Suddenly, the time paradox and the grandmother's paradox began to appear in his mind.
Seeing this guy's nervous look, Allen immediately smiled and waved his hand to comfort him, "Relax, it's not as serious as you think. You can understand that I come from a very similar parallel time and space, and it will not have much impact on the original trajectory of this world. At best, it will only change the fate of one or two people. For the entire world, this small change is like one more or less bacteria in a person's body, and the impact is minimal."
"Changing destiny..."
Waver seemed to have caught something in an instant. The expression on his face began to change rapidly, and he asked impatiently, "So, you know the future of each of us, right?"
"Haha, smart. He is worthy of being the future monarch of Clock Tower, Lord El-Melloi II." Allen read out the other party's future title directly.
Although among the twelve monarchs Clock Tower, Waver's personal strength has always been the lowest limit.
But no matter what, the fact that he hasn't been fucked for so many years shows that his ability is not bad.
As for the upper limit among the Twelve Monarchs, it is even comparable to the True Ancestor created by restraint.
"Monarch...Lord El-Melloi II? You mean, teacher Kayneth will die in this Holy Grail War, and I will inherit his position?"
Waver is indeed a smart person, and he read a lot of information from this title at once.
"That's right! Not only Kayneth, but also his fiancée Sola will also die violently. Although I gave him more than one chance to make a new choice, he didn't seem to take it to heart. If nothing else, everything should be settled in two or three days at most."
After saying that, Allen picked up the cup and took a sip of the iced juice.
"What about you? What do you want to get from this Holy Grail War?" Rider suddenly interrupted.
"I'm sorry, this secret hasn't been revealed yet. Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to mention that tonight at the dock of the port, I will personally get rid of Caster. If you are interested, you are welcome to come and watch."
After saying this, Allen shut up and stopped revealing any information.
Because he has already said everything that needs to be said.
And Rider and Waver are also eating desserts silently, while constantly analyzing and digesting these somewhat shocking contents.
After the desserts and drinks were finished, they stood up without saying a word and followed the crowd and disappeared at the end of the pedestrian street.
When the two of them were completely gone, Sakura raised his head and asked in an uncertain tone, "Allen, you also changed my destiny, didn't you?"
"What do you think?"
Allen did not give a positive or negative answer, but asked a question with a smile.
Regarding the extremely tragic fate of Sakura, he did not intend to tell anyone, but kept it as a secret forever in his heart.
"Well... I think it must have changed." The girl obviously hesitated. "Also, do I still need to keep the surname Matou?"
"It's up to you. If you want to keep it, just keep it, if you don't want to keep it, throw it away, or call it the original Tohsaka." Allen took out a napkin and wiped the ice cream on the little loli's mouth and face.
"Allen, what's your last name? Can I use yours?" Sakura raised his head, his eyes flashing with strong expectation and desire.
"Me? Of course. Let me see. Hmm - my last name seems to be Tassie."
Allen briefly recalled the family he belonged to Hunter World and quickly gave the answer.
"Then I will call you Sakura Tashi from now on!"
The little Loli immediately enthusiastically gave herself a new surname.
Just when Allen was about to get up and leave with the little guy, a woman in her early thirties who looked quite charming suddenly ran out of the store, bowed in a very humble manner, and then greeted nervously, "Boss! Hello, I am the store manager Kumiko. Do you have any instructions regarding the future operation and management of the dessert shop?"
"No, it's nothing. You can just operate as usual. If you encounter any problems, you can call. This is my number. In addition, I will not be involved in the operation. I will only send professional accountants to check the accounts every once in a while. Remember, if this store starts to lose money, then I will shut it down without mercy and fire everyone."
Allen expressed his attitude nonchalantly.
He understood that the reason why the other party was so nervous was that he felt that he looked too young, so he engaged in random acts on a whim.
At that time, once there is a problem in the store that leads to losses and closure, everyone will lose their jobs.
In 1994, not far away from the burst of the earth-shattering financial and real estate bubble in 1991, the entire island country was in a severe economic recession, and finding a job was not an easy task.
Therefore, people who work here, including hourly employees with low salaries, do not want to lose this valuable source of income.
"I understand! Please rest assured that I will not betray your trust." The woman bent down again and bowed deeply.
Not only her, but all six or seven service staff in the store, including the chef, lined up at the door to express their gratitude to the young new boss.
With the roar of the engine, the limited-edition expensive sports car quickly drove along the road and finally disappeared at the intersection not far ahead.
It wasn't until she completely disappeared that the woman straightened her back and sighed in a low voice, "It's okay! Finally, I don't have to worry about losing my job."
"Store manager! Do we really have to manage ourselves from now on?"
The waitress who had served Allen before and looked to be in her early twenties asked cautiously.
"Otherwise?" the woman asked in confusion. "You have all seen that our new boss is definitely very rich. He casually spent 500 million yen to buy this store. He may be the son of some wealthy foreigners, and he will definitely not care too much about the life and death of a dessert shop. But for us, this store is the basis for our livelihood. I believe you should know how difficult it is to find a job outside now, right? So even if it is for yourself, you must take responsibility."
"I agree! Starting from tomorrow, I will personally go to the market to select high-quality ingredients to ensure that every guest is provided with the highest quality desserts."
The chef was the first to stand up and express his determination to live and die with this restaurant.
With him taking the lead, others followed suit and joined the ranks of workers...
