After Chris left, Wesley took Ye Li and followed Eric into the house.
Eric didn't seem to know the purpose of Wesley's return, and asked, "Wesley, how did you find the clues to the Black Eyed King's treasure this time?"
Wesley was a little puzzled. He wondered if Evans had heard the purpose of his return, and now he didn't know what their report was about.
“Second Grandfather, didn’t you hear the general situation we reported to the family
The family received our report and after reviewing it, they have allowed Uncle Mars and me to re-enter the family's core member list, so I was summoned back, probably to ask me specific questions about the treasure clues."
After hearing Wesley's answer, Evans shook his head and said, "I only heard that you found clues to the Black Eyed King's treasure, but I don't know what happened specifically.
I was out on some business a few days ago, and I just returned to the family yesterday, so I don’t know the details of many things.”
Just after asking this question, Evans looked at the big house that they were about to arrive at and said, "Well, let's talk about it later. We will soon reach your great grandfather. He will definitely ask you about the details. I will listen to you while you explain to him."
After they finished speaking, the three of them walked to the front of the big house.
Ye Li was looking at the Yaxi family's mansion along the way. He could see many traces of history from the surrounding buildings. These houses were at least several hundred years old.
The Yaxi family is worthy of being one of the three major families in the Farant Empire, and it indeed has a very long history.
Standing in front of the big house, the guard next to him immediately recognized Eric, hurriedly saluted and greeted him, and made way for him to leave the door.
Eric nodded casually and walked into the house with the two people behind him.
Ye Li followed him into the house, where a burly old man was sitting at an obsidian table, looking at something.
The furnishings in the house are very exquisite, but most of them are made of obsidian, which looks very heavy and solid. Even after hundreds of years, there is not much wear and tear, and it is still shiny black.
The old man at the desk put down what he was holding, raised his head, was stunned for a moment, and said, "Evans, why are you here, and with Wesley?"
Evans said, "I met Wesley at the door and brought him here. I heard about the Black Eyed King's treasure. I think you want to discuss this matter."
The old man at the desk was naturally the current Duke of the Yaxi family, Wellington Yaxi. After hearing Evans's question, he said, "Yes, that's right. Mars has been searching for many years and finally found the clue to the treasure of the Black Eyed King.
For this, the family gave him the reward he deserved and allowed him and Wesley to return to the core of the family. Now Wesley came back to explain the specific situation.
Mars himself was unwilling to come back. He only wanted to stay on his own fiefdom and manage his one and a half acres of land.
Mars was quite talented back then, but his cultivation was a little low, and he made the wrong choice."
Hearing his words, Evans showed annoyance on his face and said, "Brother, what do you mean by this? What do you mean Mars made the wrong choice
There was nothing wrong with Mars going to rescue his brother. The biggest mistake would have been if he had chosen not to rescue him.
Back then, you and the elders completely disregarded family ties and drove Mars and Wesley out of the house. No matter how many years have passed, I will never forgive you for this."
Wellington didn't seem to care about Evans' words. He just looked at him coldly and said, "No matter how many years later, I will tell you that I am not wrong.
They are all family members. Since they are core members, they naturally take the family honor as their own responsibility. How could they put personal feelings first
Carl was arrogant and tried to show off his ability, which led to mistakes. It was his own choice.
Mars sent out his troops even though he knew that he was in a serious situation and could not be saved. He was half-crippled by the enemy. This was definitely not stupidity, but a disregard for the overall situation.
Mars is indeed a talented person who can handle everything properly, except for this incident, which is the failure of his life.
As the head of the family, I cannot accept this kind of result. I was lenient by expelling them from the core of the family. Otherwise, they should have been expelled directly from the family."
Evans' face showed anger when he heard Wellington's words, and this time even Wesley was a little angry.
"Brother, in your eyes, the feelings of family members are not as important as the outcome of a battle!?"
Evans demanded.
Wellington still had a blank expression on his face, and he was not angry. He said, "I only know that the interests of the family are above everything else. If the outcome of the battle affects the interests of the family, then it is higher than family affection."
Evans was so angry when he heard Wellington's words. Just as he was about to roar, he was interrupted by Wellington: "Okay Evans, are you here to quarrel with me today? We have been quarreling for so many years, and it seems that we have not come to any useful conclusion.
I don't want to quarrel with you. I have something important to do. I want to hear Wesley's report on the clues to the Black Eyed King's treasure. "
After saying that, he didn't even look at Evans, but looked at Wesley next to him.
Wesley was a little angry just now, but when he saw Wellington's eyes, he suddenly became weak.
The Duke of Wellington has always been known for his iron-blooded and selfless character. In the Frank Empire, he is known as the Iron-blooded Duke, and he has no personal feelings in his eyes.
He was even selfless to the extent of not getting married or having children. In his opinion, if he had a spouse and children, his mood would be affected and he would not be able to be so ruthless.
In his mind, almost all personal matters can be abandoned, and everything can be put in the interests of the family first.
To some extent, this man is a madman, but also because of his iron-blooded methods, the Yaxi family has surpassed the other two equally famous families for many years and become the most powerful family in the empire.
Wesley has been afraid of his great-grandfather since he was a child. In fact, he is not the only one who is afraid of him. All the children in the family are afraid of Wellington.
When they were young, they even made up stories that Wellington would eat all the disobedient children in the family. You can imagine what kind of character the Duke of Wellington was in their eyes.
Now that Wesley was stared at by the Duke of Wellington's cold and ruthless eyes, he suddenly felt his breathing quicken and all distracting thoughts disappeared from his mind. He could not think of anything except what he had to tell the other party.
