Horn gave Fordin a firm hug. This was a sincere friendship from birth to death. The grey man's body stiffened at first, but then he quickly softened. He returned the hug and said, "Master is still as strong as ever."
"Of course, I can still beat you to the point that you look for your teeth on the ground now."
Fordin laughed and said, "Don't say, I'm tempted."
"Then let's play a few hands sometime. You don't know. There aren't many people who dare to fight me now. My hands are itchy. "Horn shook his fist and said with a smile on his face.
There was a knock on the door, and Horn said, "Come in." Blood Scorpion Anna pushed open the door and entered. Seeing her former comrade, Anna stepped forward and hugged Fuding. The two of them pressed their cheeks together before letting go of their hands. Fordin smiled brightly, "Hey, are you alright? Beauty. "
"Is this your pick-up line technique? I have to say, Fordin, this way of yours has been terrible since before. "Anna blinked and added," I'm doing very well. Master takes good care of me. Look, I can take good care of my family as long as I do something inconspicuous now. "
Horn shook his head and said, "Anna did not do a small thing. Fordin, you just came back and don't know a lot of things. Let Anna accompany you around for the next few days and get to know the current situation. "
Fordin whistled and said, "That's all I want."
He lifted his trench coat and patted the gun at his waist. "I just came back, but I heard that Old Baker did something stupid. Master, do you want me to help you take care of him by the way? I've been annoyed by this brother of yours for a long time. "
Horn looked at Anna, who said frankly, "I don't think I can hide this from Fuding and the others, so I told Fuding on my own. If Master wants to punish me, I'm willing to accept it."
"Forget it, I'll let them know sooner or later anyway." Horn shook his head and said, "Baker and Maine are going to work together to deal with me. Moreover, he's preparing to understand something like the Li Liquid. It's indeed vicious. But first, we don't have any direct evidence. Second, it's easy to kill him, but it will shake the loyalty of the other elders to me. That's why I stuck to what I told Anna earlier. I was going to collect evidence and secretly take over Beck's business. Wait until everything is ready, then use the power of thunder to make sure that he doesn't have any strength to fight back. "
"This way, the internal turmoil within the family will be reduced to a minimum. I think this is the best way to deal with it. "
Fordin shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course you have the final say. Besides, these brainy jobs are not suitable for me. That's Baroque's strength."
"You're just too lazy to use your brain." Anna rolled her eyes at him. Anna's mind was agile, Baroque's calculations were flawless, and Fuding's battle prowess was absolute. He wasn't good at scheming, but that didn't mean he was stupid. It was just that he was more used to using strength to solve problems.
Fordin bowed exaggeratedly to Anna and said, "I know this is another way of complimenting, so I decided to accept it gladly."
Anna shook her head and said, "Your skin has grown as thick as your strength."
Fordin laughed and looked at Horn. "I also heard that Master has just recognized a young master. I really want to see him as soon as possible."
"You mean Allen." Horn looked out of the window and said, "Soon, he should arrive in a few days."
Sure enough, Horn didn't wait too long. Two days later, Horn received news of Allen's return. That evening, a flying car stopped in the square of the castle. Allen stood in front of Horn with the setting sun, "Grandpa, I'm back."
"You're back. Very good." Horn didn't give Allen a hug like he did a few days ago. He just reached out and patted him on the shoulder. However, the gaze he looked at Allen was filled with strong emotions, but it was above all his actions. With just a single glance, Allen understood the grandfather's love for him from the bottom of his heart.
He didn't say anything, but shook Horn's hand hard.
"Then, go rest and freshen up first. There's a banquet waiting for you tonight." Horn smiled.
Allen was not a sloppy person, so he immediately led Lucy and Bescot towards the wing tower where he lived. As for Adele, they had separated at the harbor, and Regis was naturally taken away by his father, Bale. The two father and son hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they probably had a lot to say. On the way to the wing tower, Allen suddenly felt a chill at the back of his head. He quickly turned around. He looked in the direction of his senses, but all he saw was a lonely spire. He frowned.
"What's wrong?" Lucy looked at him strangely.
Allen smiled, "It should be an illusion. It seems like someone tried to lock onto my aura just now."
"This is your Bescot base. No one will do this, right?"
"Who knows? Within the clan, not all of them are friends and relatives. "
Seeing Allen's figure disappear into the wing tower, Fordin, who was leaning against the spire of the castle, whistled, "Young Master's senses are quite sharp. It's just that his Origin Energy is a little low. It's only Level 19. When Master was at his age, he was already more than that, right? "
Anna half-squatted beside her, and the strong wind on the tower caused her robes to flutter. "Level doesn't mean everything. Young Master Allen has proven this truth many times with his actions."
"Oh, Anna is quite optimistic about him." Fordin exaggerated, "Does this kid look like your dear son?"
"Nonsense!" Anna rolled her eyes and said seriously, "You know what kind of person Master is. That's right, when he first recognized Young Master Allen, he did so out of a debt to Miss Lanny. However, in the later stages, Young Master Allen's resources were tilted. If anyone thought that Master was simply biased, then this person would definitely be an idiot. Master will not do meaningless things. It is precisely because Young Master Allen has great potential and is Miss Lanny's child that Master loves him so much. "
"From what you mean, Master intends to make him his successor?" Fordin said in surprise.
"If Young Master shows enough strength, I think the answer is … yes."
Fordin nodded and said, "Then this interstellar battlefield is another test for our young master. Hey, even I can't help but want to see how he performs on the battlefield now. "
It was night, and a private banquet was going on in Castle Ugarte. The theme of the banquet was to welcome the returning clansmen and wish them dazzling results in the upcoming interstellar battlefield. Since this was a family banquet, not many people were invited to attend. Apart from the members of the Bescot family, only the Morsons, who had a deep friendship with Bescot, sent people to attend.
Allen discovered that there were more outsiders at tonight's banquet than usual. Apart from the Morsen Clan, there were also a few other clans. Bescot's sharpness in the past few years was obvious to the outside world. After winning the arms contract with the Sirius Legion and almost crippling the Alexandrian Clan, Bescot's ranking in Babylon had been rising in the past few years, causing more and more small and medium-sized nobles to choose to attach themselves to this towering tree.
Of course, Allen was happy that his family could prosper day by day. However, it would be even better if there were fewer malicious gazes. He looked at a corner of the banquet, where a tall figure stood at the angle. Although he hadn't seen him for three years, Allen still recognized him at a glance. That person was Reina, who had been hostile to him when he first returned to the clan.
Reina naturally removed his armor tonight and changed into a black and decent suit, but this suit still could not conceal the volcano in Reina's eyes. He looked at Allen as if there were flames burning in his eyes. However, compared to the uncontrollable flames that gushed out three years ago. Right now, the flames in Reina's eyes were more restrained, and they were much deeper.
"Allen, come over here."
Hearing Horn's call, Allen turned his head and saw Horn smiling and waving at him. There were quite a few people standing beside him, seemingly intending to introduce him to the people of other clans. Allen put down his glass and walked over gracefully. Behind him, the flames in that line of sight burned even more intensely.
Suddenly, Reina's line of sight was blocked by another figure. Roddy frowned and looked at his son, "What's going on with you? Didn't I already say before I came back not to cause any more trouble for Allen? No matter what, he's your brother. "
"But I just don't like him!" Reina poured himself a glass of wine. "Father, look at him. After he came back, Grandpa's gaze fell on him at least half the time! "
Roddy laughed and reached out to flick his son's head. "So, you are jealous of Alan, huh."
Reina's face turned red and he gritted his teeth, "I didn't. I just don't think he's worthy of Grandpa's attention!"
Roddy put his thick arm on Reina's shoulder and pouted in Allen's direction. "Look carefully, son. I'm standing next to you, and when we get home later, your mother will be nagging non-stop. But Allen, when he went back, he only faced Lanny's old house. "Son, the brother opposite you has lost his parents. What kind of perseverance do you think he has to live on the surface for five years?"
"So don't blame your grandfather for being so good to him. That's what he deserves. After all, he lost too much. Your grandfather just wanted to make up for the lost time as much as possible. And you have to admit, Allen has done a good job so far. "
Reina tried to push his father's hand away and gritted his teeth as he took a step forward. Roddy hurriedly put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Hey, kid. You're not going to do something impulsive again, are you? "
"Father, let me be impulsive again. If I don't prove something, I won't be satisfied! " Reina drank the wine in his glass and put it on the table. Then, he walked towards Allen with a volcanic aura.
