Late at night, Bernardo Manor.
Patriarch Nick sat in his study, looking a little lonely and autistic.
Five minutes ago, Nick took more than a dozen special medicines to maintain his fragile life. He is 67 years old this year and suffers from severe diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and other diseases. The indulgent life in his youth has already hollowed out his body.
Tagu's reaction today really pissed Nick off. Although he was not completely inclined to cooperate with the Chinese district, and even preferred to be on good terms with District 1, he was the master of Bana City after all. His eldest son's shooting in public and showing off his power was actually a form of forcing him to abdicate.
Nick is a very suspicious leader. He not only distrusts the high-ranking officials of other tribes, but also distrusts the children of his own family. He wanted to weaken Tagu's control over the troops a long time ago, but his energy and body could not keep up with his brain. In addition, the family also needs various balances, which led to the current situation.
The gloomy atmosphere in the family today is related to Nick's indulgence in his youth. He has a lot of female confidantes and three wives in public. Behind this enviable family happiness lies the indifference of family affection and the intrigue over the distribution of financial power.
Except for Asians, people in other parts of the world are more self-centered and open-minded, and pay more attention to their own life experiences.
Especially for powerful and wealthy overseas men, they don’t care about what outsiders think of them at all, and most of them live a very satisfying life. Whether they are politicians or wealthy businessmen, many of them have this characteristic.
Look at those wealthy celebrities and businessmen overseas, they smoke drugs, change wives, have affairs, and even marry a wife who shits on the bed. This is nothing new.
A certain richest man before the Christian era asked a senior executive of the group to bear twins for him while his girlfriend was pregnant. Now he was just over fifty years old and already had nine children, a drama of nine sons competing for the throne.
This is just what was reported. Do they care about what the outside world thinks? They don’t care at all!
…
In the slightly dim study, Nick tremblingly took out a cigar from the drawer, ready to smoke one to relieve his melancholy mood.
“Bang!”
The door opened and Tagu walked in wearing a military uniform: "Father, I express my regrets to you about what happened tonight."
"Get out!" Nick roared angrily.
Tagu shrugged his shoulders and said, "We are father and son, and we have the same blood flowing in our veins. I really don't understand why you are always so angry and indifferent to me."
"You idiot!" Nick stood up and pointed at Tagu and cursed, "You have brought shame to the Bernardo family!"
Tagu stepped forward and held out his hand to support his father: "No, no, your body is already very decayed, you can't be so excited."
"Get lost!"
Nick shook off his eldest son's arm and bent down to sit on the chair.
"Okay, let's all calm down." Tagu put his hands on the table and stood beside his father and said, "We are too far away from the Chinese District. Their troops have no ability and no legitimate reason to enter the South American continent. Without military support, political cooperation will only be empty talk. My personal suggestion... We should get close to District 1. Although their political strategy is very greedy and shameless, it can guarantee the prosperity of the Bernardo family."
"You have no right to talk about politics with me," Nick said gloomily, "I am considering whether to remove you from your position as legion commander."
"Of course, you are the master of Bana City, you can remove me from my position." Tagu took out a folded paper from his arms and carefully spread it on the table: "Father, before you remove me from my position, you must consider who can take over my position. You must also consider whether those invincible Blackwater Legion soldiers will obey the orders of the new commander."
Nick looked at him coldly and covered his chest unconsciously: "Get out! Get out!!"
"Of course!" Tagu looked at his father's gray hair and pushed the document over. "This is the offer from a large district. I think it's very good. I hope you can sign it in two days and let me take it to the negotiation."
"Are you threatening me?!"
"Father, I will always love your children deeply." Tagu slowly squatted down and gently grasped the old man's wrist: "But your body is decayed, your mind is old, and you are no longer suitable for presiding over the work of Bana City. You need to take good care of your body, look after your children, and lead the city forward..."
“Bang!!!”
Nick slapped Tagu in the face: "Are you forcing me to step down?!"
Tagu's cheeks were red and his teeth were bleeding, but he still looked at his father calmly: "Booker and I have reached an agreement. I hope you can retire with dignity. No matter what happens in the future... I am your child and I love you deeply!"
After saying that, Tagu turned and left.
Nick was shaking with anger, holding his chest and gasping for breath.
Tagu walked to the door and whispered to the servant, "My father needs to use a ventilator. Please send him back to his bedroom immediately."
"Okay, Mr. Tagu!"
"If I find you slacking off at work again, I will kill you." Tagu stared at the other person with a sharp gaze.
The servant trembled with fear, nodded repeatedly and went into the study.
…
An hour later.
The shuttle bus brought Miao Ziwei to the castle gate, and the eldest son Tagu and the second son Booker both came out to greet him.
"Welcome to the Bernardo family, my friend!" said the eldest son with his arms open.
Miao Ziwei certainly wouldn't dare to act cool with this kind of person. He politely leaned over, hugged Tagu and said, "General, I will bring you wealth that you will never be able to spend."
"Please!" Booker said, extending his hand.
Late at night, the two sides held a brief negotiation in the conference hall and temporarily reached a cooperation intention between Bana City and District 1.
…
at the same time.
Su Tiannan received a call from his superiors: "Yes, I got it. Okay, tomorrow I will meet with the people from Hua District and Longcheng, with the one called Jiangzhou as the main person, is that right?"
"Yes, everything is up to him." The upper level replied.
"OK!"
After that, the two ended the call. Su Tiannan smoked a cigarette and said to Liu Tao, "Let's go. We're going into the city."
"OK!" Liu Tao greeted the intelligence team members and quickly packed his bags.
…
The next morning.
Su Tianyu pushed open the door of Bruna's guest room. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Dabai snoring on the sofa with Bruna, who was already asleep, in his arms.
“… Damn, you got the hang of it so quickly!”
What is a sea king? What is a scumbag? You all say that the people in the Kiwanis Club envy Dabai for being a groom every night, but who can see Dabai's efforts
How many people can stay up all night like this and be such a trash can for emotions with such patience? !
