Sauron was wearing a black suit and a white shirt. With his handsome appearance and a head of aristocratic blond hair, he attracted attention no matter where he went. But careful people will find that Sauron's face is always too pale recently, and he has dark eyes. Although he has been carefully groomed, he can't escape the eyes of caring people.
And in the base camp of the Parklan family, there are definitely many caring people.
As soon as he woke up today, he was notified by the housekeeper that Old Brant wanted to see him. Ever since Sauron was dismissed in disguise by the Scarlet Knight, Old Brant hadn't even looked at his grandson. Knowing that his grandfather wanted to see him today, Sauron thought that his bad luck had finally come to an end.
But when he came to the 16th floor, in front of the gate of the old Budhant's office, the butler Bernie's expression was not very good.
"Master, don't say anything after you go in, the master is in a bad mood right now." Benny reminded in a low voice, and opened the door of the office for Sauron.
As soon as the door opened, there was old Buffett's roar coming from inside. Sauron felt his heart sinking when he heard this. Judging from this battle, anyone who is not a fool knows that nothing good will happen. Sauron is naturally not a fool, God knows how much he wants to turn around and leave, without having to bear the unknown anger of old Brant. But since Old Brant asked to see him by name, Sauron could only bite the bullet and walk into the office.
The door closed behind him.
From Sauron's point of view, it was arranged like a huge office in the old days. Apart from the old Brant, the head of the family, there were three other people present.
Standing on the right of old Brant was a middle-aged man, who looked exactly like Sauron, the difference was that the man's well-groomed beard made him look more majestic. This man was Sauron's father, Hein, who was trusted by the old Brant as his right-hand man because of his shrewdness and ability. He was known as the young Brant in the family.
As for the two men standing on the left, the older one is Sauron's uncle Jester. Jester had a mustache and a schadenfreude smile. Next to him was a shy young man, Jester's son Johansen. Although Johansen is also a person with no element domain ability like Sauron, but he has only second-level proficiency in water system ability, and his reputation in the family is far lower than that of Sauron, who is as dazzling as the sun.
During the time when he was resting at home, although Sauron was addicted to drinking and sex, he was not depraved to the point of wasting his abilities. Even with Zero as his imaginary enemy, he trained himself crazily to drive away the shadow left by Zero's rampage in his heart. In the almost masochistic training, Sauron's mastery of the fire element has advanced to another level, and has reached the fourth level of mastery of the fire element, which also provides Sauron with an opportunity to learn advanced abilities.
It's just that Sauron has not been notified of returning to the Scarlet Knight, so he has not been able to learn advanced abilities for a long time. But the mastery of the fourth-level fire element is enough for him to gain a firm foothold in the family, and he is not afraid of acting like someone with ulterior motives, such as Geraint, who strongly recommends his son Johansen to overshadow Sauron's limelight, and even meddle in the future family successor.
Sauron walked up to old Brant and greeted his grandfather and family leader with the highest level of etiquette. Old Brant is in his seventies this year, and he has been in charge of the family for nearly forty years. But as he grows older, even if the use of genetic medicine can prolong his life, it will not bring back the energy and charm of his youth. Therefore, he plans to abdicate to Sauron's father in a year or two, and he is also known as Little Brant. Hein.
And Sauron is his most promising grandson, and he has even asked Hein to make Sauron the next family successor. However, some recent incidents have made old Brant feel disappointed in this grandson.
Old Brant said with a gloomy face, "Sauron, do you know why I called you here?"
Sauron vaguely guessed something, but still shook his head, expressing that he didn't know.
"Look at your good deeds!" Old Brant finally couldn't help shouting: "As one of the most important members of my Parkland family, you can't even take care of a soldier in the wilderness. Look now, This mercenary named Zero is pointing at our family, and Lan Qi, who you sent to assassinate him, has already fought him once in the outskirts of Phoenix City. But he couldn’t kill him, and now both he and Lan Qi After entering Death God Ridge, there is no information about the two of them for the time being. But those companies and bases outside have already made a gamble on this matter, and no matter who is the final winner, our family is destined to become a joke in the eyes of others! "
"Isn't that right, my capable nephew." Geraint also interjected beside him: "A mere mercenary in the wilderness dares to challenge me, the Parkland chaebol. And the killer you sent has not yet been able to kill You have to kill him. Dear Sauron, our family can't afford to be ashamed of this. It's not that you are an uncle, in fact, you should kill this mercenary with absolute force from the very beginning, instead of just sending A Lan Qi went to assassinate him."
Sauron cursed this uncle inwardly, but on the surface he said respectfully: "I don't want to kill this mercenary with great fanfare, what I'm afraid of is the current situation that is well known in the world. But I didn't expect that Zero would actually kill this mercenary." It's so tricky, and even Lan Qi couldn't kill him with absolute certainty, this is indeed my mistake. Grandpa, I am willing to accept any punishment."
As a father, Hein naturally had to say something for his son. He said in a deep voice beside him, "Dear father, in fact Sauron's previous judgment was not wrong. If we deal with a mercenary with great fanfare, It will only make other people laugh. If I were Sauron, I would also let Lan Qi complete this task. But now, compared to this, I think it is more important to find out who spread the news, So much so that companies along the entire coastline know about this matter. I’m sure that those who publicize this matter must have ulterior motives, and their most basic purpose is to damage the reputation of our family.”
"Grandpa, now that this matter has been widely circulated, it is useless for us to suppress and conceal it. It is better to let me and my guards fight. If Zero can walk out of Death Ridge, I guarantee that he will not be able to move forward. And take advantage of this opportunity , we can let other companies know how stupid it is to provoke our family. Because the force I will show will completely kill all individuals or companies who have this idea!"
There was a look of approval in Hein's eyes. If Sauron's move was successful, it would indeed be more deterrent to other companies in the wilderness. As for failure, Hein never thought about it.
Old Brandt nodded and said, "If you want to do it, do it nicely for me. If this mercenary is allowed to enter the area within 3,000 kilometers of our family. Sauron, I will consider asking your father to remove you as the heir in line." Qualifications."
"I will never let you down, dear grandpa!" Sauron affirmed.
