Views:

Suddenly there was a knock on the door of the box.

Jin Liancheng frowned slightly, and got up to open the door. Leon put his hand on his knee and said calmly, "Who is it?"

There was an unfamiliar voice outside the door: "Master Leon, I am Arthur. Arthur Bethkind."

Leon looked at Allen in surprise: "Do you know him?"

Allen shook his head honestly.

Jin Liancheng said, "Come in, the door is unlocked."

The compartment door opened, and a teenager about Alan's age walked in. The dark green hair is softly attached to the face, the eyes behind the plain glasses are smiling, and the tight lips are slightly raised. This is a gentle and delicate boy.

"I haven't introduced myself yet." The young man bowed slightly to the three people in the box: "My name is Arthur, and I'm Alan's brother. Those who are related by blood are all because my father is Hedrick."

Allen was surprised and said, "Then you belong to Kodov..."

"Brother." Arthur said, "I just came back from the Lusen Starfield and heard about what Eldest Brother did to you. My father and I were shocked. Eldest Brother actually wanted to murder his own brother. It really shouldn't be. "

"You have already fought in Outland? But your age..." This time it was Leon's turn to be surprised.

Arthur smiled softly and said, "Don't look at me like this. In fact, I'm already 15 years old, and I applied for an expedition to the family in advance. This time, because of my elder brother, my father transferred me back urgently. I should have replaced my father early in the morning. Allen apologized, but there are many things to deal with after returning. For example, the funeral of the elder brother, and the bad influence caused by the elder brother to our branch, etc., I need to help my father to solve it. So it is really a drag until now I'm so sorry, Alan."

Jin Liancheng suddenly snorted coldly: "Now that I'm done apologizing, you can go."

Arthur smiled and said to Alan: "Young Master Jin is right, Alan must still have a grudge against our family now. But I believe that we can make up for the damage caused to Alan by the big brother. For example, from the 5 million little The act of kindness begins.”

Allen said "Oh" and said, "So you remitted the five million."

"I also know that's not enough, but suddenly, the only authority I can use for a while is this little money. Fortunately, Young Master Jin came forward..." Arthur said bitterly again: "The William family is really hateful. How can I, Beth Kede, be bullied casually. Alan, don't worry, we will definitely reward what Kaxiu did tonight."

Allen said coldly: "Thank you, but I will deal with it naturally."

Arthur smiled slightly: "Since you said that, I naturally respect your opinion. I'll just say hello to a few of you when I come here this time, and I'll go first."

"Wait a minute, take the five million back." Alan frowned and said, "Tell me your bank account."

Arthur smiled bitterly, "That's just our wish."

"No, your eldest brother has committed suicide, and the grievances between me and him have been wiped out. So, neither you nor Uncle Heydrick, there is no need to apologize for this, let alone give me a huge sum of money " Allen said decisively.

"Well, it's too late today. Tomorrow, I'll have someone send over the bank account." Arthur walked to the door and smiled, "I wish you all a good night!"

The door closed and the boy left. Jin Liancheng got up suddenly, rushed to the door, opened a crack to look out, Shi nodded and said: "It is indeed gone.

"

Leon looked at Alan and asked, "What do you think of this brother?"

"Headache." Allen shook his head and smiled wryly: "He is much more difficult than Kodov, and you can also see his submissive appearance. It is difficult for people to blame him. Besides, he has nothing for me to blame. Don't forget , I just came back from Outland, and I was shocked to hear of Kodov's evil deeds. Can I blame him for putting five million into my account on his own initiative?"

Jin Liancheng came back and said, "I'm sure that he was just being hypocritical."

"As long as you are not blind, you can see it." Leon sighed: "Just now, Liancheng deliberately provoked him without getting angry. This scheming is quite deep. Alan, you brother should be careful when dealing with him."

Allen nodded: "I know, but now, Hedrick doesn't have to worry about it. Just after the Kodov incident happened, they dare not pay any attention to me within a year or two."

"But it's not just Hedrick's lineage in your family, you have four uncles." Leon reminded.

Jin Liancheng waved his hands and pointed: "The ones that deserve Allen's attention now are those few. Kodov has been sacrificed, but now there is an extra Arthur. As for Roddy's eldest son, Reina, went to Outland, and the rest It’s only one Regis. I heard that this kid is not very old, and he is very good at using swords.”

"Reggies will not be against me." Allen shook his head decisively.

Leon Qi said: "Where does your confidence come from? His father is Bell. Regarding Bell, I heard that he didn't get along well with your mother Lanny when he was young.

"

Allen shrugged and said: "I don't think the things of the previous generation will affect Regis. If you see him, you will know that he is a very pure person. I have fought against him several times. His sword skills He is upright, so he will definitely not be the kind of guy who plays tricks behind his back."

"Since Alan is so confident, we don't have to worry about anything." Jin Liancheng patted his shoulder and said, "Once winter is over, Leon will have to go to Outland. If you need help, please remember My friend. My Jin family is not as prestigious as William's family, but it can be regarded as having a wide range of friends. No matter what happens, I think I can always take care of it."

Leon nodded and said: "Liancheng has always been famous for being romantic in the circle of Babylon. He has a wide range of friends, but most of them are noble ladies. You should also remember this, Alan."

Jin Liancheng feigned anger and said, "Get out, don't demolish my platform here."

The box was silent, and after a while, the three of them laughed until they choked on tears. Adele, who was sleeping soundly on Alan's lap, was woken up by the three of them, and said angrily: "Shut up, all three boys, and let no one sleep."

Leon pointed at Adele with a smile and said: "It turns out that the eldest lady has already woken up, but she pretended to be asleep and occupied our little Allen's lap and refused to get up."

"Hehe, Leon, you are itchy!"

Suddenly, the voices of several young people laughing and cursing came from the box.

On the next morning, Allen returned directly to Ugal Castle. There was also a Bloy in the car. Like Willick, Allen temporarily included him in the establishment of the family guards, and he was transferred to his own team when he went on an expedition to Outland. Bloy's handover procedures were handled by Hessing himself, and Allen was told to meet Horn in the study.

When he came to the study, Horn turned around at the window and said with a smile, "You brought a highlander?"

"How does grandpa know?"

"he

Their physical features are generally obvious, such as the braided beard. The ancestors of the Highlanders were the Vikings. In the dark period before the War of Dawn, the Vikings who originally lived in Norway and Denmark fled into the deep mountains and virgin forests. After the Battle of Daybreak, they reappeared in the eyes of the world. However, during this period of time, the Vikings suffered many casualties, and even their civilization inheritance was broken, and they returned to the original state. Horn took out a book on federal ethnostatistics, patted the cover and said, "After that, they changed their name to Highlanders because they mainly lived in the Zuka Highlands." The blood of the Vikings still flows in the blood of the highlanders. They are brave warriors. The cruel environment of the Zuka highlands makes every highlander warrior have the tyrannical strength of one against a hundred. The federal government once thought of recruiting them into the army, but unfortunately, the highlanders who believed in Odin were unwilling to be subject to any restrictions. "

"Okay, let's not talk about this." Horn withdrew his smile and said seriously: "Adele was attacked last night?"

"Grandpa, have you heard?"

Horn nodded: "Old Kate is furious about this, and is putting pressure on the senior management of the Venus Hotel, so that they can give the Mossen family an answer. The Venus Hotel must be involved in this matter, the matter is under their noses What happened below, even if it has nothing to do with the hotel, there must be a huge loophole in their security system. If the Venus Hotel doesn't handle it well this time, their reputation will be damaged. After all, the person who was attacked was a famous lady, And it’s a blood relative. If the hotel doesn’t handle it well, who would dare to spend money with them in the future.”

Horn snorted again and said: "Now some people really don't pay attention to us old guys. It was you before, and now it's Adele. Everyone ignores the invisible rules we set. These rules In addition to protecting the blood of the descendants of the family, the most important thing is to prevent irresolvable blood feuds between the families. If there are even conflicts within Babylon, then the entire federation will really come to an end."

Allen was taken aback, but he didn't know the so-called bottom line, which also involved the survival of the Federation. If you think about it, if there is civil strife in a wealthy family, then the entire federation will really fall apart.

"Of course, the old Kate's pressure on the hotel will eventually make it difficult to catch the murderer behind the scenes. This kind of thing will often only push out a dead ghost. After all, the guy who dares to attack Adele must have a lot of background. Unless Old Kate is willing to go to war in an all-out way, otherwise it will be nothing." Horn looked at Allen and said, "I can hardly imagine what kind of choice old Kate will make. The key is that Adele is still alive. If not , It’s another situation. So this time, old Kate owes you a big favor, Alan, you did a good job.”

Allen said: "Adele is my friend, even if there is no favor from the Mossen family, I will do my best to save her."

"That's right, otherwise, how can you be called a true friend." Horn paused, and said, "I'm very pleased that you have made friends like Adele and Leon. With them, you can be friends in Babylon." There is a fulcrum for your foothold. I also heard that the young master of the Jin family came forward to contradict Kaxiu for you last night?"

"Jin Liancheng is also my friend now."

"Okay, the Dongfang Jin family, and the Mossen family are generally wealthy businessmen. You make a friend like Jin Liancheng, which will be of great help to your career in the future. If I guessed correctly, you guys have already formed an alliance right?"

"I really can't hide anything from you." Allen said sincerely.
