Old Kate looked at her domineering granddaughter with a headache. Among the children of the third generation family, this granddaughter Adele was undoubtedly the most dazzling. Whether it is source power, combat skills, ability to manage the family, etc., they are the best in the third generation. If there were flaws, it would probably be her wild horse-like temperament and the fact that she is a woman.
If Adele had been a boy, Kate Sr. would have desperately nominated her as first in line of succession. But she is not after all, and old Kate also admitted that women are not necessarily inferior to men. But it is also undeniable that they are always beyond their capabilities in some places. That has nothing to do with ability, but is limited by the issue of gender.
In the more than 400-year history of the Federation, there have also been several female presidents. However, these female presidents usually do not serve long terms, and they often pass through the political circle like a shooting star, leaving behind their brilliant strokes and then disappearing.
So in old Kate's heart, he loves Adele very much. But there is one thing, even if there are not enough heirs in the front ranks, Adele will not be allowed to take charge of the family. In the end, Adele's future will stop at the elders of the family, which is predictable.
As for Jas and his brother, in fact, these two children are not as bad as Adele said. It's just that Adele's light is so dazzling that the two of them are dimmed.
In the old Kate's evaluation, the two let one of them take over the position of patriarch. Even if you can't make progress, you are more than successful.
Old Kate coughed lightly and said, "Okay, Adele, let me tell you about the whereabouts of your money. It's your personal money, but the amount is too big, so I have to ask."
"It's nothing, grandpa, I took them to bet." Adele said lightly.
"Bets?" Old Kate raised her eyebrows: "Death Ring? Who did you vote for?"
"That No. 1." Adele said complacently: "I have a hunch that I will make a lot of money."
"No. 1?" Jass and his brother looked at each other and laughed: "Adele, your head is not broken, is it? Who doesn't know that in the previous death rings, the number one guy usually dies very quickly."
"That's the past!" Adele raised her head, and it was not difficult to look at her brother directly: "You say that, which shows that you have no investment vision and no courage to make progress. My dear brother, maybe you have to Pay attention to the news. As of yesterday, that No. 1 was still alive and killed six people! Of course, if it were you, you would definitely not be able to kill any of them."
"You!" Jass stood up, a burgundy color floating on his face.
Adele said lazily again: "Besides, you haven't heard that Mr. Horn also bet heavily on No. 1. Could it be that Mr. Horn's head is also broken?"
Juston was speechless for a moment.
"Jace, sit down." Old Kate said in a deep voice, and then said: "The whole of Babylon knows about Horne's betting. But Adele, look, besides you betting ten million on your own not long ago, there are also Have you seen who is betting heavily on this young man? I think your approach is too risky."
"Grandpa, you are Mr. Horn's friend, aren't you?" Adele asked, "During the years you knew him, have you ever seen him do any loss-making business? I have studied Mr. Horn's life , every decision he makes, every transaction he makes is almost guaranteed to be profitable."
"If Horn was as powerful as you say, Bernkeld would not have slipped from the ranking of the family to the top ten years ago.
valve. said Adele's other older brother, Ted.
"Oh, it seems that you have also studied Mr. Horn's deeds." Adele raised her eyebrows.
Ted puffed up his chest and said, "Grandpa always said that whether it's our enemy or our ally, we need to know every detail of them. It's okay, I just do what Grandpa said."
"What an obedient puppy." Adele nodded.
"What did you say!" Ted immediately changed his color. Their sister has this kind of ability, and can always ignite them like a powder keg with a sentence or two.
Adele sat on the sofa and ignored Ted's anger. She shrugged and said, "You are not deaf, can't you hear what I said? Well, I don't want to entangle you on this issue. Listen, in Mr. Horn was not defeated by the Alexander family's series of unscrupulous methods, but he didn't fight at all. During that time, he was depressed and ignored the provocations of the Alexander family, which led to his ranking slipping. But even so, Berncord’s back garden is still full of flowers. None of their five colonial planets has fallen, more than a dozen business chains are still in operation, and the family’s profit continues to rise at a steady 5% every year.”
"It's only their reputation that Beth Keld has slipped, not their strength! Their background has not been affected at all!" Adele sat up slightly: "And, according to my observations. In recent years, Beth Keld has invested more budget in the family force. This budget has gradually increased since five years ago. What does this mean, my dear brother? It means that Mr. Horn is ready to take action, Beth Kede Germany will once again show its glory to all those who underestimate it in Babylon. In the foreseeable future years, this family will definitely be on the rise in its career. It is very likely that Bethkind will return to the family, and even, The sword is pointed at the rich and powerful!"
Not to mention the two brothers Jas and Ted, even old Kate was deeply shocked by Adele's vision. After old Kate adjusted her mood, she said, "But all this is just your guess."
"Of course, if I am absolutely sure, then I am a prophet, Grandpa." Adele waved her hand: "But for me, this is enough. Don't say that we are friends with Bethkind, even if I just exchanged 10 million for the kindness of a family that may enter a wealthy family. I also think this business has been done well. Grandpa, don’t you think that our Mossen family has stayed in the famous family for too long, it’s time to move our position .”
Old Kate's eyes lit up immediately. He nodded and said, "It's indeed too long. It has been 127 years since our Mossen family started out as a businessman and now we have become famous people!"
"That's right, if at this time, we hold on to Beth Keld's rocket that is about to rush to Yunxiao. It's okay to be a wealthy family, and it shouldn't be too difficult to mix with a family." Adele said here, her body moved forward slightly Qing said: "And grandpa, aren't you interested in Mr. Horn's sudden move to make a big bet? In fact, I know something inside."
Old Kate immediately looked at the granddaughter.
Adele deliberately glanced at her two elder brothers, and said with a smile: "But this matter, I only want to tell you, it's better for outsiders to know less about it."
Jas and Ted suddenly exploded, and they stood up in anger, their eyes widened, and their expressions were so fierce that they wanted to swallow Adele alive. It was Adele who pretended to look at Kate pitifully. God knows that with her methods, even if Jas and Ted teamed up, they couldn't do anything about her.
Old Kate shook her head secretly
, waved and said, "You two go out first."
"grandfather!"
Jace's chest heaved as he tried to say something. Ted shook his head and pulled him out the door. It's so hard to die, Adele added: "By the way, help us close the door."
After the two angry heirs left, Adele also put on a stern expression: "Not long after the boys on the surface arrived in Babylon, Mr. Horn got the boy named Allen in the training building through his own channel. Juvenile blood. A few days later, he publicly bet heavily on this teenager. Grandpa, don't you think there is a connection between this?"
"Also, we all know what happened to the Bethkind family ten years ago. If these two things are connected together, Mr. Horne's actions will have the answer."
Old Kate lost her voice: "You mean, that child is Horn's grandson and Lanny's son?"
Adele nodded and said, "I can't think of a more reasonable explanation."
Old Kate showed a thoughtful expression. Ten years ago, a big event happened on Babylon. But this matter is limited to the circle of nobles, that is, Horn's daughter, Lanny, actually eloped with a man on the surface. This is simply a shame among the nobles, and it is a blow to Beth Keld's reputation, and it also makes Horn depressed.
Everyone knows how much Horn loves this daughter. Similarly, Horn is willing to go to war for Lanny. The family's powerful masters were dispatched to chase and kill the lunatic who dared to peek at his treasures, but Lan Ni still chose that man. The departure of his daughter caused Horn a great blow, and his will was depressed, so he was taken advantage of by the Alexander family.
In the end, Bethkind was squeezed out of the ranking of the aristocratic family and slipped into the ranks of famous people.
If time is counted, Adele's deduction is not impossible. Especially taking blood and betting, the possibility of this aspect is even more serious.
Old Kate raised her head and said, "In other words, Horn is going to take back his grandson."
"No, to be precise, it is to take back Bethkind's future ruler." Adele corrected: "Grandpa, don't forget that Bethkind is facing an embarrassing situation with no successor. After Horn, his None of the sons can be worthy of the important task. As for the third generation of heirs, they are as weak as my idiot brothers... Oh, so I made a slip of the tongue. In short, Mr. Horn is very likely to raise this grandson as an heir, if If he can survive the death ring."
"In that case, we have to be prepared." Old Kate nodded.
"Don't worry about this, I've already thought about it." Adele stood up, raised her eyebrows and said, "As long as Mr. Horn adds that boy named Alan to the heir line of the family, Grandpa, you will marry me He. With my appearance and means, I can guarantee that Mr. Horn will not be able to find a better candidate. Besides, he can still gain the help of our Mossen family. You must know that in the resources of a person in power, The help from the wife's family is also a force that cannot be ignored, especially considering the future situation of that kid, Mr. Horn will definitely not refuse."
Old Kate nodded again, if Horn added Alan to the heir sequence. Because Alan didn't grow up in a family, it is no exaggeration to say that he will be attacked from all sides by then. At this time, if the Mossen family becomes his support, then Allen's road to power will be much smoother, and this is what Horn likes. What's more, in this way, Adele can be justifiably removed from the line of family heirs, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone!
