"I asked you if you like tumbleweeds? Why, it's so hard to answer?"
The old man did not give her any face and looked down upon her with contempt.
Ailinwo withstood the humiliation and embarrassment, and tried her best to be patient and avoid the old man's sharp edge: "I don't like it."
The tenth elder's eyes gradually turned cold and he sneered: "Yeah, if you don't like it, I don't like it either. Do you understand what I mean?"
Of course, Ailinwo understood this, so she made preparations before coming.
Under the old man's gaze, she slowly took out the Irene family crest ring she had brought, presented it with both hands, and knelt on one knee on the ground.
Bow your head in submission.
"The Irene family is willing to obey Theron's command forever."
When the Tenth Elder saw the ring in her hand, he finally looked at her with a higher regard, reached out to take it, and played with it in his hand.
"It was a wise decision for your father to choose you instead of your brother to inherit the family. You are also a smart person. Don't you care that my heir does not have the brown eyes that are said to be proof of bloodline?"
When Ailinwo heard this, he was inevitably startled. He quickly raised his eyes to look at the old man sitting in the upper seat. His heart was pounding. He used the word "heir"... In fact, there are still two people in the Theron family who are qualified to sit in the position of the next Theron.
One of them had brown eyes known as golden eyes, proof of his noble bloodline.
The other one...has not returned yet.
However, he revealed his favorite candidate in front of her and asked for her opinion at this time.
Ailinwo was a smart man, and a very insightful one. He immediately understood what the gray-robed old man meant.
She pursed her lips, knelt on the ground and lowered her head. "What you approve is the proof of bloodline."
The grey-robed old man showed a satisfied expression, admiring her flexible style and her kind heart. He looked at the person kneeling on the ground and said softly, "Get up, the ground is cold."
Irene Wo obeyed and stood in front of him again.
"Eleanor is a good kid, the type he would like."
Ailinwo raised her eyes quickly, her eyelids twitched twice, she had a plan in her mind, but her face remained calm: “I will let her have more contact with her brother.”
"Yeah." The gray-robed old man showed a satisfied look and said casually, "I heard that there was an accident in the suburbs. Don't you want to go and take a look?"
Ailinwo succeeded in surrendering, and was very perceptive. He immediately said, "I'll go over now."
"I don't want anyone to know that you came to my place today. Take care of the people you brought with you and go." The Tenth Elder raised his hand and motioned for her to leave.
Before leaving, Irene Wo heard him ask again: "I remember that your family has a long-term cooperative chemical genius?"
Irene Wo didn't know why he asked this, so she stayed and answered carefully: "That person's whereabouts are uncertain, and he occasionally accepts missions. He just has a cooperative relationship with us and doesn't know that we are from the Sixth Continent."
"The Nighthawk I asked someone to find half a month ago was just so-so. A lot of our experimental data has been destroyed recently, and many people have been captured. We urgently need to find someone to fill the vacancies. If you can contact that person, ask him if he is willing to take on our mission."
"...Okay." Ailinwo frowned slightly and reluctantly agreed.
She didn't know how to contact the other party, or whether she could get in touch with him, and she was not sure whether the other party would accept their task.
That person acted too arbitrarily and only accepted their commissions once or twice, helping to solve a few minor problems.
