Hefang Island Governor Daniel sat in his office, looking at the news sent by the Intelligence Department with a puzzled look on his face.
"What do these guys with holes in their brains want to do?"
Not only He Fang, but all the believers of the Church of Light in the North Sea have shown unusual movements, and it seems that something big is about to happen.
"After a few years of peace, are they planning to go to war with the Futan Cult again? Damn it."
Daniel felt a headache when he thought of this possibility. If the two religions fought, the water in the entire North Sea would be muddied, and the layout he had made would be completely disrupted.
"Crack." A handsome young man walked in from outside. It was his son Jack.
"What have you been busy with lately?"
"I told you." Jack said and lay down on the sofa next to him.
"You're planning to take over the gang from the Seventh Division of the Police Headquarters?"
Jack showed a trace of contempt on his face. "I don't want those people, father. You may not know that some people rely on their ancestors being descendants of the people who landed on the island and dare to use their names to embezzle salaries. I guess they haven't even touched the relics. What He Fang needs is a brand new seventh place."
Daniel's expression became serious. "It is indeed time to take action. He Fang's seventh division must return to its peak strength. I will issue a decree later. There is no room for negotiation on this matter. Anyone who dares to stop us, no matter who is behind it, will be pulled out!"
Jack knew that his father was serious this time. What happened last time was really embarrassing for him. He actually let a woman play them around. This made the other governors regard the Cavendish family as a joke.
"What's the matter that you called me here for? If nothing else, I'll go back first. I have a lot of things to do over there."
Daniel put away his facial expression, coughed awkwardly, and said, "Put the things in your hand aside for now. I called you here because I want you to talk to your sister about that matter."
Jack's eyes widened to their maximum, "Why should I say that?"
"You are his brother."
"You see your daughter is ignoring you, so you want me to be the bad guy, right? My respected father."
Daniel grabbed the bronze cannon sculpture next to him and threw it over. "Don't give me any nonsense, just go!"
With a humming sound, Jack caught the dozens of kilograms of micro bronze tube with one hand. "Father, you finally owe me this time."
Coming to the garden outside, Jack picked a flower and held it in his hand, then walked towards his sister's room.
Jack stopped the maid at the door who was about to remind him and pushed the door open and walked in.
"Brother, is there anything I can help you with?" Margaret hurriedly put some papers into the drawer and turned to look at her brother who was walking over.
"This is the most beautiful flower I have ever found. Only this flower is worthy of my princess from the Cavendish family."
"You're at it again. Did you just pick these flowers from the garden?" Margaret said with disgust on her face.
Jack stretched out his finger, and the flower was inserted into Margaret's ear. "You are worthy of being my sister, you are so smart. I came here to tell you something. The son of the Governor of Mochen Island will come to Hefang tomorrow. Do you want to go and meet him? I remember you played well with him when you were a child."
Margaret angrily took off the flower on her hair and said, "Father must have asked you to come here again, right? I've said enough. I don't want to see them!!"
Jack looked at his sister's angry eyes, he quickly leaned over, put his arm around her shoulders and said, "Don't be angry with me, the old man forced me to come here, I couldn't do anything about it."
"Get out now. I don't want to talk to you now." Margaret turned her head away.
"Don't worry, sister. I'm actually on your side." Jack smiled and nudged her with his shoulder.
"real?"
"What are you talking about?" The girl lowered her head shyly.
"Why are you shy? Do you want me to help you?"
Margaret's face was getting redder and redder as she kneaded the hem of her skirt and said in a mosquito-like voice: "Hmm..."
Jack loosened his hand and walked around the room pretending to think. "I have a few ideas for you. See which one is the most suitable. The first one is to let him marry into our family and help us grow Cavendish. If you agree, I will persuade my father."
"No, Mr. Charles won't agree to that."
"The second option is to let him go, and when he has an island, you can ask him to come and marry you."
"Then how long do we have to wait... Besides, it's so dangerous." Margaret looked reluctant.
"Then the third one, I'll send someone to capture him, keep him in a room, tie him up and let you play with him as you please. When you get tired of playing with him, you won't like him so much anymore."
"Bang!" Margaret, her face flushed, raised a thick book and hit Jack hard. "Get out of here!"
"It's okay. As a woman of our Cavendish family, even if you play with a few men, there will still be people lining up to marry you."
More books were thrown at him, and Jack, grinning, dodged and retreated outside.
Looking at her brother who was grinning at the door, Margaret sat down angrily and turned her back. Her eyes couldn't help but turn red. "Liar! You are just teasing me!"
Looking at his sister's back, Jack's smile disappeared. He took out a cigar from his pocket, put it in his mouth and lit it with a lighter.
"You are not allowed to smoke here!!"
As the fire flickered, white smoke enveloped Jack's face.
"Margaret, you are already 17, and it's time for you to grow up. The reason you are protected so well is not because the world is so beautiful, but because your father keeps those dirty things out. You should also think about your father."
Looking at his silent sister, Jack continued, "Do you know how much profit your father lost last time because of your willfulness and searched the whole ocean for you? If the position of the Cavendish family is taken away by others, your shitty Captain Charles will not care about you at all."
Margaret wanted to retort, but her brother's unfamiliar tone frightened her.
"Sister, throw away those unrealistic fantasies and think carefully about what a governor's daughter should do. Only by helping your father consolidate his position as governor can you always be the pearl of Hefang Island."
When Margaret, with drooping eyebrows, could no longer smell the smoke, she slowly turned around and found that her brother was gone.
The girl took out a piece of paper from the drawer. On it was a lifelike portrait of Charles, which she had secretly asked an artist to draw.
She looked at the portrait with her mouth drooping and her expression very aggrieved.
"Why do I like someone, but none of you want me to be with him..."
Sorry, it's a bit late today, and thank you for the reward from Aixiaoshuo Panda.
