Alien Executioner

"Master, there's no need to act anymore. They're already here." An elder held his forehead and shook his head.

An Mochen immediately dropped his tearful disguise, his expression instantly calmed down, and he nodded gently.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the small conference room became serious.

The next second, the man laughed again:

"Why are you so serious?"

"Father, as the head of the family, how can you manage everyone if you are not serious?" The young man walked in at some point, frowning.

An Ran looked at her mother and nodded. Everyone's eyes were focused behind her. As a young girl appeared behind her, everyone's eyes shifted back.

An Xiao nodded coldly to all the elders to show respect, and followed his brother as carefully as possible to his own seat.

"Father, I've said this before, I kind of hate your personality." An Ran pointed it out mercilessly in front of all the elders, "So I hope you can be more serious."

"My son, you are right." An Mochen laughed. His smile always made people's anger disappear and made them not angry.

"In that case, let's just start a meeting with no nutritional value as before." He shrugged and applauded.

The elders looked at each other and waved their hands. They saw helpless smiles on each other's faces. The head of the family who did not regard himself as the head of the family always looked like a weird uncle. The only one like him was An Mochen.

Chapter 325: The Gift of Tyranny (V)

The elders have long been accustomed to the head of the family being taught a lesson. A long time ago, it was his wife Xu Yanqian who taught him a lesson here, and then it was the eldest daughter An Xin. After so many years, the head of the family's personality has not changed significantly, and it is time for An Ran to teach him a lesson.

In fact, what the head of the family said was not wrong. This annual meeting could only be serious on the surface, because there was really nothing of value to talk about. However, this was just a process that had been maintained for many years. The so-called meeting between the elders and their families was just a few pleasantries.

Meeting with outsiders who are invited by the family is the highlight for the elders. As the older generation who exercises power on behalf of the family, meeting newcomers from outside the family is what everyone cares about.

But this time, the elders looked at the new child from the family unscrupulously, without any concealment.

On the surface, An Xiao sat upright, as indifferent as her mother, but she was already extremely nervous in her heart.

Those looks were not offensive or aggressive at all; they were merely curious, but also very uncomfortable.

Those elders were all elderly people, both men and women. Some of them wore simple robes and had mysterious majesty on their faces, while the others wore suits and looked energetic. If you didn't know better, you would think this was a senior board meeting of a certain group.

The head of the family spoke first as usual, but everyone except An Xiao knew that he was going to say some nonsense.

"I have inherited the position of the head of the family for more than 40 years. During these years, you have helped the family share the worries and managed the family's business around the world... I am fortunate to have experienced the ups and downs of these years with you. Thanks to your care, the An family has become better and better, and everything is developing in a good direction."

“Even though we still have a lot to do and are not perfect, the family and the group will remember your dedication.”

"It is the An family that has favored us." An elder said.

"We will always be grateful for the An family's care." All the elders said at the same time.

"It's really emotional to see the family going through stable life year after year. Without your joint efforts, it would be difficult to maintain this family." An Mochen became serious for a rare time and sighed deeply.

"A long, long time ago, when I first met my wife and brought her to this island, it rained heavily every day. The rain never stopped, and the fog was very light. Occasionally, you could see a crimson moon on the mountain."

An Mochen fell into memories. He seemed like a different person at this moment. Everyone listened quietly.

"The rain at that time was not cold on our bodies, but it could chill our hearts. You should all understand that our An family is definitely not just a consortium family with a huge foundation, but an executive family. In the past hundred years, the founders of the family have relied on conquering alien species to develop the family step by step."

Xu Yuqing had a blank expression on her face.

"But in the past twenty years, the aliens hidden in society have become rampant. These monsters that rely on devouring human flesh and blood to survive have been constantly endangering society and slaughtering our compatriots. As a representative of the Executive family, I have to attend the funerals of some major events every year, wearing black clothes or an executive uniform, and mourning with the officials of the Federal Supreme Council."

An Mochen glanced at everyone with a sad tone.

"You know, my physical condition prevents me from drinking too much, but I would rather get drunk at a banquet than grieve at a funeral. With the emergence of a large number of alien organizations in recent years, terrorist attacks have increased. For example, last month, a serious school attack occurred in District 11."

"As the forefathers of the executive family, we have forgotten our duties over the years and have focused all our attention on the family business. This situation will become increasingly critical. The struggle between humans and alien species will never stop. These monsters who have the same faces as our compatriots deserve to die!"

An Mochen clenched his fists in anger and grief, which aroused the emotions of the elders.

"These are not your personal responsibilities. Over the years, the An family has done enough." An elder said, "The world is not just for our executive family. This is the common mission of the federal government and all of humanity."

"A common mission for all mankind?"

An Mochen smiled, "Isn't our mission as executive officers to kill all alien species and maintain stability? To allow other ordinary people to live in peace and stability, and live happily in an environment without monsters. You bind ordinary people to the mission of executive officers, which is too unfair to them."

The elder said nothing more.

"It's worth it to watch my children grow up without worries, even if I think about the threats of monsters when we were young."

"It's been too long, and many people have long forgotten that they have the blood of the An family." An Mochen said, "They only seek pleasure, not caring whether they pick up the Devouring Weapon or not. They think they are superior, and look at the aliens and humans who are not nobler than themselves with laziness and arrogance. Even if they hear how the aliens cruelly hurt their compatriots, it's just a casual talk after dinner, just like..."

An Mochen paused and said coldly:

"In ancient times, monarchs and nobles would enter the arena after dinner, burping while watching duels or other interesting things, without any empathy in their hearts. Are there not many such people in the family? Some elders even use the family resources to continuously expand their power. I know you do this for the good of the family, but I don't want you to use alien species and harm humans in the process."

As they spoke, the elders began to stir, and they all looked around slowly, trying to find that person.

An elder stood motionless, like a stone sculpture, but cold sweat broke out on his back.

An Mochen simply glanced at him and continued:

"You all know that the family collects more than 2000 billion yuan in underworld donations from all over the world every year. Some of the mafia organizations are involved in drug trafficking. They hope that the An family will give them help and protection. We did accept it, but does it mean that we are related to drug trafficking?"

An Mochen didn't wait for others to answer and said loudly:

"And the answer is of course not. Since these people are offering us money for free, why shouldn't we take it? Receiving money doesn't mean we really have to protect them. Not only that, we have close cooperation with the police anti-drug team, and FACA often sends enforcement officers to assist in drug eradication. But even so, they still have to serve us."

"Because they know that if they don't offer sacrifices, the An family can easily destroy them. If they do, we will just turn a blind eye and pretend not to see it. There are many termites in the world, and it is impossible for us to be the scavengers for all the work."

An Mochen laughed as he spoke, and became as out of touch as before.

"It's really tiring to say so many words at once. What I want to express is very simple. We can use the value of others, including criminals and aliens, but we must never make any sacrifices. We can squeeze everything from the bad guys, but we can't let them taste any sweetness."

Chapter 326: The Gift of Tyranny (VI)

The elders looked at each other, and the same words were written in their surprised eyes.

Our home isn't much better.

Controlling the lifeline of the world economy, and even completely seizing the executive power of FACA, his family's influence not only covers the Supreme Councils of each district, but even infiltrates the Supreme Council of the World Federation.

As the deputy minister of the Supreme Council of the Third District, An Xin was given this position after the elders hesitated for a long time before unanimously deciding on it.

It's because if the position is any higher, it might cause panic in the outside world. This family is afraid of nothing but hates trouble.

Controlling the world in a stable and peaceful manner has always been the philosophy of this devil family.

After An Xiao heard his father say these words, many questions accumulated in his heart, and he looked at his brother beside him.

My elder brother didn't react at all, as if these things were so reasonable for the An family.

She only knew that the An Group was involved in countless fields. The most famous ones were real estate, online entertainment, financial investment agency, furniture and food, etc., which were just the surface. Everything commonly seen in life was related to it.

However, when most people see the An Group, what they think of most is the An family, an executive family.

The elders' discussions fell silent under An Mochen's gaze. He cleared his throat and looked at An Xiao.

"But one thing that makes me very happy is that my third child has become an excellent executive."

Everyone looked at An Xiao, and this time the look was completely different from before.

"At first, my wife and I did not agree with her becoming an executive officer. We already have two children who have become executive officers. Being in a high position also means greater responsibility. My children, An Xin and An Ran, are the pioneers of executive officers. The eldest daughter is the former 'Devil' of the Hall, and the second son inherits the current one. They are all destined to experience blood and war. In the future, the war between alien species and humans will surely begin, maybe today, maybe next year, or maybe ten years later..."

"And I am also a selfish father." An Mochen smiled.

"I don't want all my children to become executive officers, even if this position seems glamorous and admired. It's too sad to let such a lovely girl take up arms to fight against monsters that eat human flesh, isn't it? It's really emotional. I still remember that a long time ago, An Xiao was only 12 years old."

An Xiao was slightly startled. She already knew what her father was going to say.

"That day, she dressed up very beautifully, more beautiful than ever before, just because she was going to attend the dance party in District 1. On the day of the dance, she followed her brothers and sisters as usual, but she smiled happier than ever before. She was so innocent. This smile infected everyone at the dance party, so they made an exception and let her dance solo."

"Everyone was watching, not only because of her beauty, but also because of her heartfelt smile and childish dancing posture. It was the romance of a child immersed in her own world. When it was over, everyone applauded. Someone asked her why she was so happy. She said she had always wanted to learn to dance, but her parents had never agreed. She practiced in front of the mirror every day and finally got the chance."

"When An Xiao was very young, I planned to train him to be a person of power, including An Xin and An Ran. People who truly hold power don't need to learn dancing to please others. For the An family, it has always been others who dance for us, and we are always responsible for appreciating and evaluating them."

An Mochen said slowly, and even An Ran was surprised why his father said these words.

A rare seriousness.

"At that moment I knew I was wrong, everything was wrong. I have such an innocent child, it is a gift from God. How could I bear to let her be exposed to the cruel world? In her eyes, everything in the world should be beautiful. In this case, why not let her be a happy lady? Have her own dreams, her own interests, and live happily."

“But later…” The patriarch paused and glanced at An Ran.

"She still chose to become an executive officer. When she first had this idea, my wife and I strongly opposed it. We have three children, and we can't let all of them fall into the trend of monsters. But she secretly got admitted to Atlanta College. When I found her, do you know what she said?"

No one answered.

"If no one knows, I won't tell you." An Mochen shrugged and gave a wicked smile.

An Ran held his forehead with his hand, his father came again.

An Xiao laughed out loud. She knew that her father was not very normal most of the time and had a funny personality. But she didn't expect that he could joke so casually in such a serious family gathering in front of a group of elders.

An Mochen scratched his head awkwardly, thought about it for a long time, and said in frustration:

"I seem to have forgotten. An Xiao, do you still remember what you said at that time?"

Under everyone's gaze, An Xiao nodded. She spoke slowly in a calm voice:

"If my peaceful life depends on my brother and sister's protection, then it's not fair."

An Ran was startled and lowered his eyes.

"But I'm very happy because my daughter is very promising. Not only did she not disappoint us, she also proved her own strength." An Mochen said, "When innocent children grow up, they will always have mature ideas, but in fact, there are fewer and fewer innocent children. With terrible monsters rampant, most people live in tension."

"Everyone, I don't mean to start a war with the aliens. All I said is to remind you that we can no longer relax. Please tell your younger generations that if we play the game of power too much, it will backfire. We must unite as a front and focus all our efforts on dealing with the aliens."

"Remember the teachings of the patriarch." All the elders said in unison.

It was a rare sight to see a father who was serious and acted like the head of the family. An Xiao also started to smile.

This is the dignity that a father and a family head should have...

An Xiao shook his head a little, that feeling came back again.

In that instant, that feeling of being watched seemed to appear right in front of me.

She covered her head, something pierced her brain, and the sudden pain caught her off guard.

The conversation between the elders and my father and mother gradually became blurred, and I seemed to hear my brother's concerned voice.

What the hell is going on...

An Xiao heard inexplicable mumblings and someone singing in his ear. The singing was so unpleasant, like a painful wail.

She opened her eyes, and her pupils suddenly contracted. Everyone turned into an illusory monster, a hideous mass of flesh and blood covered by clothes, with strangely wriggling tentacles, distorted facial features, and a huge eye!

They were all looking at themselves, watching, without saying a word.

The same goes for father and mother, but they are completely different from these ugly monsters. They are completely shrouded in shadows and their appearance cannot be seen clearly.

"Brother... yes, there is a monster..." An Xiao pulled at his brother's windbreaker and looked at the only man who made him feel safe, but he was stunned.

He stood up suddenly, and the conference room fell silent.

"What's wrong with you?" An Ran also stood up. He felt the fear in his sister's heart.

That was a fear he had never experienced before, coming from his sister.

"I'm hallucinating." An Xiao panted slightly, reacted quickly, and smiled apologetically at his father and mother.

After sitting back in her seat, she remained silent.

Her heart was beating wildly, and she found it difficult to recall the vague yet terrifying scene just now.

Impossible...

A white butterfly floated in front of her eyes, but no one noticed this little visitor.

Chapter 327: The Gift of Tyranny (VII)

The lake is located in the center of the Dead Silence Island, surrounded by mountains on all sides, and the cries of crows can be heard in the distance.

The woman sat on a rock by the lake with her eyes closed.

He held tightly in his hand a dark fishing rod of unusual length and cast it towards the endless black lake before him, which was shrouded in thick fog.

A huge shadow swam under the lake, occasionally jumping out from the surface of the lake and shuttling through the thick fog. The mysterious shadow quickly faded away, just like a whale playing.

"Are you still fishing?" Next to the woman stood another woman, who was wearing a fleece coat and rubbing her hands.

"It's so cold tonight."

The fishing woman never opened her eyes. What was she waiting for? The sky was almost swallowed by darkness. A trace of moonlight was distorted by the thick fog, sparkling on the lake.

The housekeeper beside her was getting a little impatient. She wanted to persuade the woman, but she also knew that her real purpose was not fishing.

"Miss, you have been fishing here for two days. The head of the family has also held four meetings with the elders. We should return to the third district tomorrow."
