This person is about 35 to [-] years old, with a stocky build, tight brown skin with a slight oily sheen, and a pair of eyes as sharp as a falcon.
His name is Manfred Powell, and he is known as the legal adviser to the English royal family, but in fact he is one of the executive officers of the younger generation of the Illuminati.
"I have nothing to explain, and I don't want to make excuses." Powell sneered, without the slightest hint of cowardice or remorse, "In addition to reminding the council respectfully again, all the clues we have now come from ancient astronomy, even Biarris. Dodd is older."
The implication of these words is obvious, and the translation is:
"You old bastards in the council, you fucking think that finding a key is as easy as going to the vegetable market at the door. If you don't have the skills, don't sit here and talk without back pain. If you can do it, you can do it. If you can't, don't be blind with me. BB."
Hearing this, the six elders on the council frowned, a little dissatisfied.
The next moment, Powell suddenly changed the topic.
"But I'm happy to announce that we're almost there."
He showed a weird smile, "And I have great confidence that I can find the answer when the nine stars are connected."
The serious expressions of the elders eased a little.
"Then can we get the key within a week?" The old man sitting in the middle of the council seat raised a finger and asked.
"Yes." Powell nodded, his eyes were bright: "I said, within a week."
"This is good news, Mr. Powell." The old man sat upright, holding the armrest tightly.
Then his eyes suddenly became extremely solemn and dark: "But you have to remember, you only have one chance to retrieve the magic triangle that was divided into two."
"If we fail, we'll have to wait another 5000 years!"
"Of course I understand." Powell chuckled, "I don't know what you guys think, anyway, I don't want to spend so long."
He made an untimely joke, which caused the elders of the council to look at each other in dismay.
"Very good." The old man said, "Then we will wait and see."
Powell lifted his chin slightly and smiled confidently.
"Believe me."
Immediately, he withdrew his hand from the black windbreaker, turned and left.
His assistant, Pims, held a pile of books and materials related to the Omniscient Eye and Nine Stars, and followed closely behind in small steps.

"I found this inside the antique clock my father left behind after I smashed it."
"The pattern on it is the all-seeing eye," Laura said.
"I know." Chen Feng nodded in response, carefully looking at the objects in his hand.
The outermost circle is a circle divided into twelve grids, and each grid is divided into two parts.
The outer layer is some ancient characters that Chen Feng does not recognize, and the inner layer is marked with twelve symbols, which are also strangely shaped, and the reason is unknown.
It looks like a Chinese feng shui compass.
"I've had someone identify it," Laura said. "Dr. Wilson, an antique clock expert from the University of Manchester, is an old friend of my father's."
"After the cover of this disc is lifted, there will be a finer structure inside. Eight concentric circles of different sizes centered on the yellow gemstone. The three points corresponding to the triangle on the inner surface of the disc cover also have a small and exquisite dial. .”
"More importantly, the hands inside are all turning counterclockwise, not telling the time, but counting down."
While listening to Laura's explanation, Chen Feng stroked the patterns on the surface of the disk with his hands, especially the triangular eyes on the front.
At the end, he nodded: "You are right, this is indeed a countdown tool."
"But at the same time it's a key."
Chen Feng said and returned the disk to Laura.
"And you did a wrong thing, you shouldn't have given it to your father's old friend for identification."
Seeing Laura's puzzled face, Chen Feng went on to say:
"Because the old man is a member of the Illuminati, after you have identified it for you, he has already told the Illuminati that you found the key."
"If I'm not mistaken, he should have introduced you to Powell, who claimed to be a lawyer."
Laura opened her mouth slightly and froze in place.
"The identity of Powell's lawyer is also false. He is actually the current executive officer of the Illuminati. According to Powell's behavior, his people should already be on their way. The target is the disc in your hand. It is to crack the The key to everything."
"Thanks to the photo you gave Powell when you first approached him, now we still have room to maneuver."
"Wait, the Illuminati, the key, the key to crack everything? Alex, I can't understand what are you talking about."
Chen Feng gave too much information this time, Laura's pretty face froze slightly after listening, and her two crooked eyebrows were knit together.
"You will understand when you see the letter your father left you." Chen Feng replied.
It’s okay not to say this, but Laura was even more confused when he said it.
But when Chen Feng mentioned his father, he still couldn't help raising his head and eyes, and kept asking questions.
"My father's letter? You mean my father left me a letter? Where is it?"
Good guy, Chen Feng couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
Accidentally spoiled too much, now it's even more troublesome to explain.

Chapter 171 Enemies in the Rainstorm!He has been waiting so long!
When Laura was a child, she often heard her father mention the Nine Stars and the All-Seeing Eye, but she didn't know the deep meaning of his father's words at that time.
Just three days before Chen Feng suddenly broke into his house without saying hello, Laura was awakened in the middle of the night by the faintly audible ticking sound.
After getting dressed, I climbed out of bed and searched for the sound for a long time, but finally found the source of the sound in the small secret room under the stairs of my house - an antique clock.
This antique clock was obviously hidden by the father on purpose, and it was deliberately set to ring on the day when the first stage of the Nine Stars Lianzhu started, so that Laura could find it.
Laura first gave the antique clock to the assistant Bryce and the housekeeper Hilary. The three of them took the ordinary clock and looked at it over and over again.
In the end, the impatient Laura directly gave up on opening the clock with the conventional reversible method, but directly chose the most direct and violent method.
