Old Kate looked at her domineering granddaughter with a headache. Among the third-generation clan disciples, this granddaughter, Adele, was undoubtedly the most dazzling. Whether it was Origin Energy, combat skills, or the ability to manage the clan, she was one of the best in the third generation. If there were any flaws, it would probably be her wild horse temperament and the fact that she was a woman.
If Adele were a boy, Old Kate would have been desperate to nominate her as the first in line to succeed. But after all, she wasn't, and Old Kate admitted that women weren't necessarily inferior to men. However, it was also undeniable that they were always unable to catch up in some places. It had nothing to do with ability, but was limited by the question of gender.
In the more than 400 years of history of the Federation, there had been several female presidents. However, these female presidents usually didn't last long. They often streaked across the political world like meteors, leaving behind a dazzling stroke before disappearing.
So in Old Kate's heart, he loved Adele very much. However, there was one thing. Even if the heirs in front of him were lacking, Adele would not be allowed to take charge of the family. In the end, it was foreseeable that Adele's future would stop at the clan elder.
As for Jas and his brother, the two children were not as unbearable as Adele had said. It was just that Adele's light was so dazzling that their starlight dimmed.
In Old Kate's evaluation, one of the two of them would take over the position of Patriarch. Even if he couldn't advance, he could still defend more than enough.
Old Kate coughed softly and said, "Well, Adele, tell me where your money went. It's your personal money, but it's so large that I have to ask. "
"Nothing, Grandpa. I took them to bet." Said Adele lightly.
"Bet?" Old Kate raised her eyebrows. "Death arena? Who did you vote for? "
"That number one." Said Adele complacently, "I have a hunch that I'm going to make a lot of money."
"Number one?" Jas and his brother looked at each other and laughed, "Adele, are you out of your mind? Who doesn't know that the number one guy in the death arena usually dies very quickly? "
"That's the past!" Adele raised her head and looked at her brother without difficulty. "You saying that means you don't have the vision to invest, and you don't have the courage to make progress. My dear brother, perhaps you should take notice of the news. As of yesterday, Number One was still alive and had killed six people! Of course, if it were you, you definitely wouldn't be able to kill any of them. "
"You!" Justin stood up, his face flushed red.
Adele said lazily, "Besides, you haven't heard that Mr. Horn has also bet heavily on Number One. Could it be that Mr. Horn's head is broken as well?"
For a moment, Justin was speechless.
"Jarvis, sit down." Old Kate said in a deep voice, "All of Babylon knows about Horn's bet. But Adele, look, have you seen anyone bet heavily on this youth besides the ten million you invested without permission not long ago? I think it's too risky. "
"Grandpa, aren't you Mr. Horn's friend?" Adele asked, "In all the years you've known him, have you ever seen him do anything at a loss? I've studied Mr. Horn's life, and almost every decision he makes, every deal he makes, is bound to make money. "
"If Horn was as powerful as you said, he wouldn't have let Baincord slip from the ranks of the aristocratic families to the ranks of the famous clans ten years ago." Said Ted, Adele's other brother.
"Oh, it seems like you've also studied Mr. Horn's deeds." Adele raised her eyebrows.
Ted puffed out his chest and said, "Grandpa always said that we should know every detail about our enemies and allies. It's nothing. I'm just doing what Grandpa said. "
"What an obedient puppy." Adele nodded.
"What you said!" Ted's expression immediately changed. Their sister had this kind of ability. She could always ignite them like a barrel of gunpowder with a few words.
Adele sat on the sofa, ignoring Ted's anger. She shrugged and said, "You're not deaf. Can't you hear what I'm saying? Well, I don't want to argue with you on this issue. Listen, it's not that Mr. Horn was no match for the Alexandrian family's not-so-honorable methods, but that he didn't respond to the challenge at all. During that period of time, he was depressed and ignored the provocation of the Alexandrian family, which caused his ranking to slip. But even so, Baincord's back garden was still full of flowers. None of their five colonial planets have fallen, and more than a dozen business chains are still operating in the open and in the dark. Every year, the family's profits continue to rise at a steady rate of 5%. "
'"It's only their reputation that Beth Cod has slipped, not their strength! Their foundation has not been affected at all! "Adele sat up slightly." And, according to my observations. In recent years, Bescot has invested more in the family's martial arts. The budget has been growing steadily since five years ago. What does that mean, my dear brother? This means that Mr. Horn is ready to make a move, and Bescot will once again show off its greatness to all those who despise it in Babylon. In the foreseeable next few years, this family will definitely be in a period of rising career. It is very likely that Bescot will return to the ranks of the aristocratic families, and even point to the aristocratic families! "
Not to mention the two brothers, Jarvis and Ted, even Old Kate was deeply shocked by Adele's foresight. Old Kate adjusted her mood and said, "But all of this is just your guess."
"Of course, if I'm completely sure, then I'm a prophet, Grandpa." Adele waved her hand. "But that's enough for me. Not to mention that we're friends with Bescot, even if it's just 10 million yuan in exchange for the kindness of a family that might be able to enter a wealthy family, I think it's a good deal. Grandpa, don't you think our Morsen Clan has been in the clan for too long? It's time to move. "
Old Kate's eyes immediately lit up. He nodded and said, "It has indeed been too long. It has been 127 years since our Morsen Clan started out as a businessman and became a famous clan!"
"That's right. If we catch Bescot's rocket that is about to soar into the sky at this time. Forget about being a wealthy family, it shouldn't be too difficult to mix into a wealthy family. " At this point, Adele leaned forward and said, "And Grandpa, aren't you interested in Mr. Horn's sudden heavy bet? In fact, I know a little inside information. "
Old Kate immediately looked at her granddaughter.
Adele deliberately looked at her two brothers and said with a smile, "But I want to tell you about this matter. It's better for outsiders to know less about it."
Jarvis and Ted immediately exploded. The two of them stood up angrily, their eyes wide open, their expressions so fierce that they looked as if they were going to swallow Adele alive. It was Adele who pretended to look pitifully at Kate. God knew that with her methods, even if Jarvis and Ted joined forces, they wouldn't be able to do anything to her.
Old Kate secretly shook her head and waved her hand, "You two go out first."
"Grandpa!"
Jarvis' chest rose and fell, wanting to say something. Ted shook his head and pulled him out of the door. Fortunately, Adele added, "By the way, help us close the door."
After the two angry heirs left, Adele put on a serious expression. "Not long after the surface teenagers arrived in Babylon, Mr. Horn got the blood of the teenager named Allen from the training building through his own channels. A few days later, he publicly placed a heavy bet on the youth. Grandpa, don't you think there's a connection? "
"Also, we all know what happened to the Bescot family ten years ago. If we put these two things together, then Mr. Horn's actions have an answer. "
Old Kate cried out, "Are you saying that the child is Horn's grandson and Lanny's son?"
Adele nodded and said, "I can't think of a more reasonable explanation."
Old Kate revealed a thoughtful expression. Ten years ago, something big had indeed happened in Babylon. However, this matter was limited to the circle of nobles. That was, Horn's beloved daughter, Lanny, had actually eloped with a man on the surface. This was a disgrace to the nobles, and it was a blow to Bescot's reputation. At the same time, it also depressed Horn's will.
Everyone knew how much Horn loved this daughter. Similarly, for Lanny, Horn did not hesitate to make a big move. He sent out the experts of the clan to chase after the madman who dared to covet his treasures. However, Lanny still chose that man in the end. His daughter's departure caused Horn to suffer a great blow and his will to be depressed. That was why the Alexandrian family took advantage of the situation to enter.
In the end, Bescot was squeezed out of the rankings of the aristocratic families and slipped into the ranks of the famous clans.
If you count the time, Adele's deduction is not impossible. Blood and betting, in particular, have increased the possibility of this.
Old Kate raised her head and said, "In other words, Horn is going to bring back his grandson."
"No, to be exact, it's to bring back the future ruler of Bescot." Adele corrected, "Grandpa, don't forget that Bescot is facing the awkward situation of having no successor. After Horn, none of his sons were able to take on heavy responsibilities. As for the third generation of successors, they are as weak as my idiot brothers … Oh, it turns out that I was wrong. Anyway, Mr. Horn is very likely to nurture this grandson as a successor, if he can survive the death arena. "
"In that case, we need to be prepared." Old Kate nodded.
"Don't worry about that. I've already thought about it." Adele stood up and raised her eyebrows. "As long as Mr. Horn adds that youth named Allen to the family's heir list, Grandpa, you can marry me to him. With my looks and means, I can guarantee that Mr. Horn can't find a better candidate. Besides, he can also get the help of our Morsen Clan. One must know that in the resources of a person in power, the help from his wife's clan is also a force that cannot be ignored. Especially considering that kid's future situation, Mr. Horn will definitely not refuse. "
Old Kate nodded again. If Horn added Allen to the heir list. Because Allen did not grow up in the family, it was no exaggeration to say that he would definitely be surrounded by enemies at that time. At this time, if the Morsen Clan helped him, then Allen's path to power would be much smoother, and this was what Horn was happy to see. Moreover, this would also allow Adele to be legitimately removed from the family's heir list, killing two birds with one stone!
