Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Jin Liancheng frowned slightly and was about to get up and open the door. Leon stretched out his hand and pressed it on his knee, saying indifferently, "Who is it?"
Outside the door was a strange voice, "Young Master Leon, I'm Arthur. Arthur Bescot. "
Leon looked at Allen in surprise, "Do you know him?"
Allen shook his head honestly.
"Come in," said Jin Liancheng. "The door isn't locked."
The door opened and a youth about the same age as Allen walked in. The dark green head was soft against his face, and his eyes behind his flat glasses were smiling. His tightly pursed lips were slightly raised. This was a gentle and exquisite boy.
"I haven't introduced myself yet." The youth bowed slightly to the three people in the private room and said, "My name is Arthur, and I'm Allen's brother. It's all because my father is Hyderick. "
Allen was shocked and said, "Then you're Kodorf's …"
"Little brother." Arthur said, "I just came back from the Russen Domain and heard what Big Brother did to you. My father and I were both shocked that Big Brother actually wanted to murder his own brother. This is really not right. "
"You've already fought in the Outer Realm? But your age … "This time, it was Leon's turn to be surprised.
Arthur smiled softly and said, "Don't look at me like this. I'm actually 15 years old and I've applied to the family for an expedition in advance." This time, because of Big Brother, my father transferred me back urgently. He should have apologized to Allen on behalf of his father early in the morning, but he had more things to deal with when he came back. For example, Big Brother's funeral, as well as the adverse effects that Big Brother has brought to our branch, and so on, I need to help my father solve it. That's why I'm so sorry, Allen. "
Jin Liancheng suddenly snorted coldly, "Now that you've apologized, you can leave."
Arthur smiled at Allen and said, "Young Master Jin is right. Allen must still have a grudge against our family. But I believe that we can make up for the damage that Big Brother has done to Allen. For example, starting with the small act of charity of 500 million yuan. "
"Oh," Allen said, "so you were the one who transferred the five million."
"I also know that it's not enough, but this happened too suddenly, and the amount of authority I can use at the moment is only this amount of money. Fortunately, Young Master Jin appeared … "Arthur said hatefully," The William Family is really hateful. Even if they are a rich and powerful family, how can I, Bescot, be bullied so easily? Don't worry, Allen. We will certainly repay the card artisan for what he did tonight. "
Allen said coldly, "Thank you, but I will naturally deal with this matter."
Arthur smiled. "Since you said so, I will naturally respect your opinion. I'm just here to greet you all. I'll be leaving first. "
"Wait, take the five million back." Allen frowned and said, "Tell me your bank account number."
Arthur smiled bitterly. "That's just a small token of our appreciation."
"No, your eldest brother has already committed suicide. The grudges between me and him have been written off. So, whether it's you or Uncle Hyderick, there's no need to apologize for this, much less give me a huge sum of money. "Allen said decisively.
"Alright, it's too late today. Tomorrow, I'll have the bank account delivered. "Arthur walked to the door and smiled," I wish you all a good time tonight! "
The door closed and the youth left. Jin Liancheng suddenly stood up and rushed to the door. He opened a crack in the door and looked out. He nodded and said, "Indeed."
Leon looked at Allen and asked, "What do you think of this brother?"
"Headache." Allen shook his head and smiled bitterly, "He's much more difficult to deal with than Kodorf. You saw his submissive appearance. It's hard to blame him for anything. Besides, there's nothing for me to blame him for. Don't forget, he just came back from the Outer Realm and was shocked to hear about Kodorf's evil deeds. Can I blame him for taking the initiative to send five million into my account? "
Jin Liancheng walked back and said, "I'm sure he was pretending just now."
"As long as you're not blind, you can tell." Leon sighed and said, "Just now, Lian Cheng deliberately provoked him without getting angry. This scheming is quite deep. Allen, you have to be careful when dealing with this brother of yours. "
Allen nodded, "I know, but now, there's no need to worry about Hyderick. They won't dare to pay any attention to me for a year or two after what happened to Kodorf. "
"But your family isn't just Hyderick. You have four uncles." Leon reminded.
Jin Liancheng said, "There are only a few people worthy of Allen's attention now. Kodorf has been sacrificed, but now there's Arthur. As for Roddy's eldest son, Reina, he went to the Outer Realm, leaving only Regis. I heard that this kid is young and uses a sword very well. "
"Regis won't harm me." Allen shook his head decisively.
Leon asked curiously, "Where does your confidence come from? His father is Bale. About Bell, I heard that he didn't get along well with your mother, Lanny, when he was young.
Allen shrugged and said, "I don't think the affairs of the previous generation will affect Regis. If you see him, you'll know that he's a very pure person. I've fought with him several times. His sword skills are upright, so he's definitely not the kind of person who plays tricks behind his back. "
"Since Allen is so confident, we don't have to worry about anything." Jin Liancheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Once winter is over, Leon will have to scram to the Outer Realm. If you need any help, remember that I'm your friend. Our Jin Clan is not as prestigious as the William Clan, but we have a wide circle of friends. No matter what, I think I can always take care of one or two. "
Leon nodded and said, "Lian Cheng has always been famous in the Babylonian circle for being romantic. He has a wide circle of friends, but most of them are noble ladies. You must remember this, Allen."
Jin Liancheng pretended to be angry and said, "Scram, don't tear down my stage here."
The private room was silent. A moment later, the three of them laughed so hard that tears came out of their eyes. Adele, who was sleeping soundly on Allen's lap, was woken up by the three of them and said angrily, "Shut up, all three of you. Are you going to let me sleep?"
Leon smiled and pointed at Adele. "So the eldest miss has already woken up, but she pretends to be asleep and refuses to get up on our little Allen's thigh."
"Haha, Leon, are you itching for a skin?"
The sounds of a few young people laughing and scolding could be heard from the private room.
The next morning, Allen returned directly to Castle Ugarte. There was also a Broy in the car. Like William, Allen temporarily enlisted him into the family guards and waited for the expedition to the Outer Realm before turning him into his own team. Helsing went to take care of Broy's handover procedures, and Allen was told to go to the study to see Horn.
When he arrived at the study, Horn turned around at the window and smiled, "Did you bring a Highlander?"
"How does Grandpa know?"
"Their physical features are usually obvious, such as their braided beards. The ancestors of the Highlanders were the Vikings. During the dark period before the Battle of Dawn, the Vikings who had lived in Norway and Denmark fled into the mountains and primeval forests. After the Battle of Dawn, they reappeared in the eyes of the world. However, during this period of time, the Vikings suffered many casualties, and even their civilization was broken and returned to its primitive state. " Horn took out a book on Federation racial statistics and patted the cover. "After that, they changed their name to Highlanders, all because they lived mainly in the Zuka Highlands. The blood of the Vikings still flowed in the blood of the Highlanders. They were valiant warriors, and the cruel environment of the Zuka Highlands gave every Highland warrior the strength to fight against a hundred. The Federation government had thought of conscripting them into the army, but unfortunately, the Highlanders who believed in Odin did not want to be under any control. "
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore." Horn smiled and said seriously, "Was Adele attacked last night?"
"Grandpa, have you heard?"
Horn nodded. "Old Kate is furious and is putting pressure on the upper echelons of the Venus Hotel to give the Morsons an answer. The Venus Hotel will definitely be involved in this matter. It happened right under their noses. Even if it has nothing to do with the hotel, there will definitely be a huge loophole in their security system. If the Venus Hotel doesn't handle it well this time, their reputation will be damaged. After all, the one who was attacked was a young lady from a famous clan, and she was a blood relative of the clan. If the hotel doesn't handle it well, who will dare to spend money on them in the future? "
Horn snorted coldly, "Some people really don't care about us old fellows now. It was you before, and now it's Adele." All of them ignored the invisible rules we set. Apart from protecting the bloodline of the clan's descendants, these rules were most importantly to prevent irresolvable blood feuds between the clans. "If even Babylon is in conflict, then the entire Federation will really be finished."
Allen was stunned. He didn't know that the so-called bottom lines also involved the survival of the Federation. Thinking about it, if there was an internal strife among the wealthy families, then the entire Federation would really collapse.
'"Of course, Old Kate's pressure on the hotel will not be able to catch the culprit behind the scenes. This kind of thing often only pushes out a scapegoat. After all, the guy who dares to attack Adele must have a great background. Unless Old Kate is willing to go all out, she can only leave it at that. " Horn looked at Allen and said, "I can almost imagine what kind of choice Old Kate will make. The key is that Adele is still alive. Otherwise, it would be a different situation. So this time, Old Kate owes you a big favor. You did a good job, Allen. "
Allen said, "Adele is my friend. Even without the Morsons' favor, I will do my best to save her."
"That's right. Otherwise, how can I be called a true friend?" Horn paused for a moment and said, "I'm glad you've made friends like Adele and Leon. With them, you'll have a foothold in Babylon. I also heard that the young master of the Jin family stood up to the card artisan for you last night? "
"Jin Liancheng is also my friend now."
"Alright, the Dongfang Jin Clan and the Morsen Clan are both rich merchants. It will be of great help to your career if you make friends with Jin Liancheng. If I'm not mistaken, you little fellows have already formed an alliance, right? "
