Instructing her daughter to practice throwing knives, the police were frightened and asked to file

Chapter 257 Dispute in the square
After all, Byzantium has a small land area, few crops that can be planted, and export trade is not particularly developed. Tourism is one of their important sources of income.

If Qin Tian hadn't been so generous, the waiter wouldn't have said these things.

Qin Tian thanked, "I see, thank you."

The waiter waved his hand, "You're welcome, there is nothing to do during the day, you can rest assured to play, but you have to pay attention when it is dark."

What the waiter said didn't affect Qin Yue'er and the others' interest. After all, they all had special skills, and Lu Wan and Qin Tian were both here, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

Qin Lan'er took Qin Tian's hand, and was about to plunge into the crowd, "Hurry up, Dad, if you go late, you won't be able to see the future president."

Qin Tian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "How do you know who will become the president?"

Qin Laner shook her head, "Of course I don't know, anyway, I read every popular candidate, there will always be some in it."

Qin Yue'er obviously thought the same way, her eyes longingly said: "In the future, I can tell my classmates that I have also seen the president with my own eyes."

The three children chattered and walked towards the crowd.

Lu Wan couldn't help reminding: "Be careful, Yue'er, take your sister and the others, don't get lost."

Qin Tian and Lu Wan took a daughter and walked towards the place where the speech was made. Many tourists were attracted, obviously they were all watching the excitement.

Their speech was in English, so Qin Tian could understand it, it was nothing more than some high-sounding words.

"Tuk-tuk-"

Accompanied by the sound of car horns, dozens of cars drove over.

Walking down from the inside turned out to be heavily armed guards with guns in their hands, and instantly cleared a path among the crowd, forming a human wall and blocking the crowd.

The onlookers took a few steps back one after another, intimidated by their aura.

Soon the last car got off a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes. He had deep features and looked very friendly and approachable. He walked to the center of the square.

With the appearance of the man, there was a commotion in the crowd. Many people shouted his name loudly and held up the signs in their hands. He was Ellis, one of the presidential candidates.

Ellis waved his hand, and the commotional crowd became calm again. He cleared his throat before speaking.

"I'm Ellis, thank you all for your support. As we all know, God loves the world, and I love this land as much. If I become president, I will give my all to benefit this country and everyone. people"

"The most important thing is that under my governance, illegal and criminal things are absolutely not allowed to happen. For those things, I will never tolerate them, and I will never let anyone harm the personal safety and rights of our citizens."

If Qin Tian hadn't heard the waiter's words before, he must have been confused about it and didn't know what Ellis was talking about, but now he understands it.

Ellis' eyes were sincere, and his heartfelt speech won thunderous applause from the audience.

I have to say that this person's speech is still quite good, and many people's emotions were mobilized, calling his name louder than louder.

"If I become president, the security of the country will definitely be peaceful—"

Ellis's blood was boiling with enthusiasm, but was suddenly interrupted by a sudden burst of applause.

"clap clap"

I saw another man came to the square under the protection of bodyguards, "Mr. Ellis, what you said is so good that even I was almost moved."

Although the man spoke words of praise, his eyes and brows were full of indifference and sarcasm. He was another presidential candidate, Raftery.

The two were originally competitors, and they believed in different religions. It can be said that the two sides are in conflict. When they meet, they are like enemies. This involves not only the interests of both parties, but also religious issues.

Ellis said in a cold tone, "I'm here to give a speech, what are you doing here?"

"Come and hear how our future president can stir up people's hearts."

This sentence is full of irony.

Ellis' face darkened instantly, "What do you mean by that?"

Raftery sneered.

"I should be the one asking you, right? Let your people beat, smash, loot and burn, and then frame it as being done by us Muslims. You are really good at it. In order to get the position of president, you will use all means."

Of course, Ellis would not be used to him, and immediately retorted:
"I never did such a thing. Instead, you asked your subordinates to do some illegal and criminal things and plant them on my head. Just because someone like you is worthy of being president?"

"I'm not worthy. Are you worthy of someone who believes in foreign religion?"

"Catholicism is the local orthodox religion, and your Islam is the foreign religion. You are shameless and want to occupy our position. Sooner or later, I will drive you out."

"Then I'll wait and see who kicks who out."

The two talked to each other, their eyes collided in mid-air, as if sparks could be sparked.

The air was suddenly filled with a strong smell of gunpowder.

The two sides have been at odds for a long time, which is a well-known fact, and they almost pinch each other when they meet. Those who don't know think that there is a deep hatred between them.

Ellis and Raftery did not, but Catholicism and Islam, the two major sects, can be said to have blood feuds, and so are their supporters.

If it weren't for the image in front of the public, I'm afraid the two would fight straight away.

Compared with the high-profile of the first two, the latter presidential candidate is a bit low-key. Since he is neutral and does not believe in sects, the number of people who support him is not as large as the first two.

But he often holds some public welfare activities to help the people, and he has never had a red face with others, so his popularity is not bad.

Although it is also a presidential candidate, the relationship with other candidates is not bad.

But in Byzantium, religion and political power coexist. People here either believe in Islam or Catholicism. Most people think that the presidency will eventually fall on Ellis and Raftery.

Both Ellis and Raftery showed up, and Vinita also came late. I don't know what to say to the two, and the tense atmosphere between the two finally subsided somewhat.

This scene has happened many times, Ellis and Raftery have a big fight, and it is Vinita's good-natured peacemaker in the end.

Although the people have a good feeling for him, they will not give up their beliefs. They hope that Ellis or Raftery will become the president, so that their religion will also become the state religion.

"Forget it, this time for Vinita's sake, I'll let you go first."

Ellis had finished his speech, snorted coldly, and walked away.

Raftery looked at his back, looked a little unkind, and then left.

In the end, only Vinita was left alone, but the people in the square did not leave one after another. Obviously Vinita's voice was not high, otherwise it would not be the bottom position now.
