"Please tell me." Melkensen glanced at Srudi next to him, and smiled at the man.
The man nodded and said: "Now that the border war is about to break out, our consortium has invested all its materials and financial resources into this war, and by the way, we also take this opportunity to drag the temple apostle who has a bad relationship with our consortium. Into the water, everything is being carefully deployed, but, how did I hear that after this war is over, our consortium will form an alliance with the Scott consortium?"
"Alliance?"
"With the Scott Consortium?"
The people on both sides of the conference table were a little surprised and looked at each other, some of them laughed on the spot.
Melkensen frowned slightly, and said calmly: "Could it be that I am getting old and have auditory hallucinations in my ears? You can actually tell such absurd things. I really doubt that you came out of the inner wall."
The man said with a smile: "Patriarch Kensen's words are a joke to me. I just heard what others said. I thought it was the strategic deployment of your new plan, Chief Kensen. Now it seems that it is nothing."
Melkensen said: "I heard? People who deliberately spread rumors that are not good for our consortium, please pay close attention. I would like to see which consortium would spread such stupid rumors."
The man respectfully said: "Yes, you don't need to say this, I will do it too."
…
…
On Mount Erdos, in the old castle.
After the meeting of the consortium adjourned, Srudi went straight back to the castle in a carriage. He didn't exchange greetings with other nobles along the way. After entering the door, he took off his coat and handed it to the maid who greeted him. He took off his hat and threw it to the maid. In the arms of the servant, the latter hurriedly caught it, so frightened that he almost dropped the delicate hat on the ground.
"Master." The butler greeted him, "Miss wants to see you..."
"No time." Srudi quickly entered the hall and went upstairs along the steps.
"You're not free, I'm free." At the corner of the second floor, a figure stepped out and stopped in front of Srudi. It was Jenny in a green floral dress.
Srudi stared at her, turned and passed by her, and entered his office. Jenny immediately followed him in, and after he sat down, she threw a newspaper in her hand on the desk and said, "Father, if my investigation is correct, this newspaper belongs to a news agency under the Mellon Foundation, right?" , why? You promised me that as long as I don't see him again, you won't hurt him again, why?"
Srudi's eyes slowly moved up from the sketched face of a young boy with a lonely expression on the cover of the newspaper on the table, and landed on his daughter's face. He took a deep look at her and said indifferently: "There is no reason, The papers made it very clear."
"Father!" Jenny bit her lips slightly, and said, "Do you think such a fake thing can be convincing? He is now the most promising person in the Temple of Elements. As long as he is willing, the six people including our Mellon Consortium Big financial groups, and other wealthy businessmen are willing to spend a lot of money to make friends with him, is he still short of money? No! How could he do such a thing!"
Srudi remained expressionless, "Being rich doesn't mean you have power, maybe you want revenge?"
"No, it's impossible!" Jenny stared at him, "I know him well, he wouldn't do such a foolish thing!"
Srudi said indifferently: "Nothing is impossible. He has been in the Thorn Flower Prison for more than three years. In such an environment, who knows what kind of change has taken place in his mind? If you say he doesn't hate me , do you believe it? Do I believe it?"
Hearing this sharp rhetorical question, Jenny was a little distracted, but soon, she focused her eyes and looked at her father seriously, "Hate! He will hate! He should hate too. You wronged him in the first place! But, Even if he wants to retaliate against us, he will not use such means, how many casualties will it cause? He can't be so cold-blooded! I believe him!"
Srudi raised his eyelids, stared at her pupils, and after a while, his eyes slowly fell back to the newspaper, saying: "If he could have the status he has today three years ago, I would never object to you being together! I was wrong about what happened a few years ago, but this time it will never happen. You can’t imagine how three years in the Thorn Flower Prison will change people! Perhaps... "
When he said the word "maybe", he suddenly fell silent, and after a while, he said slowly: "It's useless for you to tell me about this matter, because I was not involved in this matter, I believe He didn't collude with the savages, but he will definitely not be the ignorant and ignorant boy three years ago. Oh no, he was not considered ignorant and ignorant three years ago. His hunting team was wiped out, such intellect and cunning are beyond your imagination, you'd better stay away from him in the future."
Jenny was startled, and suddenly there was a message, and she opened her eyes wide and said, "You didn't participate in this matter? That's..."
"It was planned by your playmate from childhood to adulthood." Srudi looked up at her, frowned slightly, with a trace of unbearable eyes, and said: "You also know that our family is going from bad to worse in the Mellon consortium. Offended this prominent envoy, there are too many places attacked by the Mel family, and now the shares in the consortium have dropped to less than 30%. The entire Mellon consortium is already owned by the Mel family. The dominance of the situation, during the meeting today, the butcher Kensen even let his daughter into the meeting room, although I have seen before that this little girl has a lot of thoughts, just like her grandfather, but I didn't expect it to be more serious than I imagined. It's even more insidious, about dealing with this kid, she is almost fully in control, such a method, even a rich man who has been famous for many years, will be ruined by her and thrown into prison, hmph!"
Jenny's face was full of disbelief, "You, you are talking about Saya? How is it possible, how did Saya enter the conference hall? Isn't she playing around all day, either attending parties, going to concerts, or learning piano, she How is it possible to do these things?"
Srudi sighed, "It seems that this little girl's mind is higher than I imagined, and she has learned to pretend since she was a child."
Jenny stared at him blankly, her mind was buzzing, a little chaotic, and some pictures flashed by quickly. Suddenly, she came to her senses, and said bitterly: "So it's like this, I feel that she has been with other girls since she was a child." It’s different, she knows everything. She once said that playing the piano and composing poems are the pursuit of the mediocre. Her ideal is to fill the entire Sylvia wall with wealth, and then stand on the golden tower to look at the scenery outside the wall. .”
Srudi was slightly taken aback, and said, "How old was she when she said this?"
Jenny said: "It seems to be when we were eight years old. We talked about each other's dreams that year. When I heard her words, I thought it was a deliberately exaggerated joke. Now it seems that what she really loves is not poetry. or something, but what she has now."
Srudi was silent for a moment, sighed, and said: "She has such a pursuit, but she is quite similar to her grandfather. If the old guy George is only twenty years old and full of energy, it is estimated that in another thirty years, the whole The huge wall of Sylvia will really be filled by the wealth of their Mel family! But..." He looked at Jenny with a trace of gentleness in his eyes, "Compared with them, your life now is more meaningful. In terms of daughters, I am better than them!"
Seeing the relief in his eyes, Jenny bit her lower lip slightly and said in a low voice, "Father, are you telling the truth this time?"
"Um."
…
…
On the wild plain outside the fortress.
Du Dian took Guinness and Kaqi forward quickly, over the mountains and ridges, and killed some mutated monsters that blocked the road. Among them were rotting corpses. Judging from the clothes, it seemed that they were from inside the wall. The explorers who came out went to the radiation area to search for supplies and sold them on the black market inside the wall.
"Master, do you know where you are going?" Kaqi followed Du Dian, a little curious. When he saw Du Dian leading the way along the way, he seemed to know the route and had a strong purpose.
