"Create a new consortium?" The old patriarch Flynn was stunned, shaking his head and said: "It's useless. Although our Ryan family is qualified to apply for the establishment of a consortium, no one is willing to join."
Du Dian said: "No, there is no need for others to join for the time being! Only you nobles and wealthy businessmen can apply for the consortium, and the procedures for ordinary wealthy businessmen to apply are too cumbersome, and the nobles are different. Just show your identity certificate. The Holy See rented a separate passage outside the wall to clean up its own area, and this is what I told you before, I want to give you a thank you gift!"
The old patriarch Fulin smiled wryly, and said: "Although I don't know where you found out about these things, the money needed to rent a passage leading to the outside of the wall alone is unimaginable for you and me, even if it is the Mel family and the Bu The Long family also needs a partnership, and recruit other nobles and wealthy businessmen to join the consortium to share, it is simply impossible for our small Ryan family alone."
"I said that things that can be solved by money are not things." Du Dian smiled slightly and said, "You apply for the consortium first. After a few days, I will naturally give you a sum of money."
"You?" The old patriarch Fulin was stunned, looked at Du Dian suspiciously, and said, "You don't want to rob, do you?"
Du Dian smiled and said: "The money in this world is based on robbery."
The old patriarch Fulin stared at him for a moment, then sighed: "I just hope you don't make too much noise, our Ryan family is just a small boat, and we can't stand your toss."
"Whether the boat will turn over or not depends on the operation of the sailor, not the size of the boat." Du Dian smiled slightly, and suddenly said: "Did the Bron family look for you these days?"
The old patriarch Fulin nodded slightly, and said: "I just looked for it not long ago, and it's all thanks to you, which made me drenched with spit all over my face."
"Then treat it as moisturizing the skin."
"Speaking lightly, as you wish, the Mellon Consortium has decided to kick our Ryan family out of the consortium. The two of them are family friends and have a good relationship. The Mellon Consortium will definitely agree. I believe that within a few days, we will be kicked out of the consortium. Kick it out." The old patriarch Fulin sighed.
Du Dian said: "This is just right."
The old patriarch Fulin smiled wryly and said: "I just feel sorry for the money. When they are kicked out, they will definitely find a way to manipulate secretly, let our Ryan family leave the house, and all the resources invested will be depreciated."
Du Dian shrugged: "It's not much anyway."
The old patriarch Fulin saw that he looked like he had nothing to do with himself, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
"Now you are tied to the same boat as me. I hope we can cooperate happily." Du Dian looked at the sky, got up and said, "I should go back."
The old patriarch Fulin sighed, suddenly thought of something, and asked: "What is the name of the consortium, the Ryan Consortium?"
Du Dian froze for a moment, thought for a moment, and said, "Let's call it the Xinshi Consortium."
"Xinshi Consortium..." the old patriarch Fulin murmured.
…
…
After being sent off by the old patriarch Flynn, Du Dian left Lane Castle and returned to the town hotel.
When the middle-aged owner of the hotel saw Du Dian, his eyes were wary, and his face was somewhat worried and guarded. Obviously, the fact that the trial Cavaliers came to find Du Dian in the morning made him remember Du Dian's appearance.
"The matter is settled." Du Dian returned to the room and said to the three of Barton: "In the next few days, you go to live in Lane Castle, just say that you are my friend, and they will entertain you."
"To live in a noble castle?" Barton and the others were a little surprised.
Du Dian smiled slightly and said: "I hope you can learn wisdom in your life, and look at it more often. Your life will be very hard in the future. Although the wind and rain in front of you are covered up, once it is exposed, we will be beyond redemption. Moreover, in In the near future, we will face more difficulties, you are our right-hand man, I hope you can become stronger!"
The three of Barton looked at each other, and the joy in their hearts suddenly faded. This time, Du Dian's assassination of Hollett was not hidden from them. They also knew what an amazing move Du Dian made, although they expected it when they followed Du Dian. , The days ahead will be rough, but I didn't expect to fall into such a dangerous situation just at the beginning.
Although the days in the past were bitter, they were relatively comfortable, but now, they could be destroyed at any time.
"I see." Barton nodded slightly.
Joseph and Kluen bowed their heads in silence, only feeling the biting cold wind around them.
Seeing that the three of them were aware of the sense of crisis, Du Dian felt more satisfied. Only in a dangerous environment can a wolf be trained, but in a comfortable environment, only a dog can be trained.
…
…
After entrusting the three of Barton to the Ryan family, Du Dian returned to the residential area alone. In the past few days, he entrusted the Ryan family to inquire. to the residential area.
Fortunately, the time was too hasty at the time, and the houses in the residential area had not been sold, otherwise they would be homeless after being deported.
Thinking of this, Du Dian was filled with guilt. He returned to Lynn Street in a carriage, hurriedly got out of the car, and saw from a distance that the original small house of the Juras had been cleaned up again. There are no fallen leaves on the grass in the house. It is still early at this moment, and the house smells of Jura and Gray, but compared to Gray's, Jura's smell is stronger, and it should be that I am at home.
In addition to Jura's smell, Du Dian also smelled a strange smell, mixed with Jura's smell.
He couldn't help being stunned for a moment, seeing no one on the left and right, he immediately turned in from the guardrail lightly, and came to a window next to the house. Through the gap in the window, he immediately saw the scene in the room, which was still familiar from before. As a decoration, Jula is sitting at a desk, wearing glasses, reviewing the materials. Beside her, a seven or eight-year-old boy wraps his wrists around her arms, rubbing them lightly, but obediently Make noise.
Jura smiled, stopping now and then to stroke the little boy's head.
Du Dian was slightly stunned, and suddenly felt a little sour in his heart. He was silent for a moment, then turned around slowly, stepped on the lawn, turned over the guardrail, and left the street.
After walking silently for a long time, Du Dian stopped and raised his head. In front of him was the hidden alchemist stronghold that he had discovered.
Three years later, the alley is still as shabby and dark as before, and the walls are still camouflaged with cloth. However, Du Dian smelled through his sense of smell that there was no smell left in the alchemy stronghold, and most of them had already moved the stronghold.
At this moment, a carriage passed by behind, and the breeze blew the curtain of the carriage, and a faint fragrance wafted from it.
Du Dian froze for a moment, turned around and looked back at the shadow of the carriage going away.
