"For the Scott consortium, we are just a small consortium. Most of our savings have been invested in the lease of the giant wall. Moreover, we have offended the Mellon consortium. In the future, we can only rely on the Scott consortium. Naturally, they don't take us too seriously." Dudian indifferently said. His years in prison had made him have a deeper and more intuitive view of things.
Old Fulin bitterly said: "Even so, in addition to your identity as a hunter, you are also a rookie inventor. In the future, you will create more benefits than a hunter. But they don't value this point. They are too short-sighted."
Dudian pulled out a chair and sat on the table: "It's not short-sighted. There are other considerations. They have already signed a contract with the new textile machine. In the future, it will be difficult to continue to improve it. Although I have invented this thing, but I haven't made any other achievements. In the eyes of others, it's just luck that I am favored by the goddess."
Old Fulin sighed: "We can only wait for your arm to recover. If the dividends from the new textile machine are enough, then we will use our connections to buy the fountain of life from the Holy Church to treat your arm."
Dudian looked at him and nodded slightly. His eyes swept to the newspapers on the table. He grabbed one and asked: "Is there any news today?"
"As usual, there is no big news related to us."
Dudian read the newspapers one by one. He didn't see any news about the attack on the dark church's branch last night. Most of it was suppressed by the dark church's branch. After all, they couldn't see the light of day. The only report was that there was a strange noise in the town where the dark church's branch was located. It was suspected that there was a beast invasion and so on.
Dudian paid attention to the source of the news agency that reported the article. He asked the servant to bring his breakfast and quickly finished it. He said to Old Fulin: "I need to rest for the next few days. Don't let anyone disturb me if there is nothing important. Well, that includes you."
Old Fulin was surprised: "Don't worry. I won't disturb you. Take good care of yourself. I'll ask the kitchen to make some supplements for you."
Dudian nodded. He got up and went back to his room.
After closing the door, Dean took off his coat and took out the energy tube hidden under his left armpit. Previously, his left hand was injured, so the energy tube was not prominent under his thick clothes. In addition to the energy tube, there was a palm-sized chip reader hidden in the inner pocket of his coat.
There was a faint smile on Dudian's face as he looked at the two things that almost cost him his life. He squatted in front of the wardrobe and opened the bottom drawer. There were some thin clothes and jewelry boxes inside. He opened the innermost jewelry box. There were a few gold and silver coins inside. There was also a chip. It was the super chip.
Before going to prison, Dean had hidden the super chip in an unknown place. It was in the corner of the courtyard of the house allocated to him by the Mellon consortium. The reason was that he was worried that a thief would sneak into his house and break the safe to steal it. Later he was imprisoned and the house was taken back by the Mellon consortium. Jura and Dudian's luggage were thrown out of the house. Only the super chip was still hidden there. The last time he assassinated deacon Huey, he took the time to go back and dig out the super chip.
"A cunning rabbit has three burrows. I'll have to prepare a few more secret places in the future." Dudian opened the card slot behind the card reader and inserted the chip. Then he plugged the card reader into one of the jacks above the energy pipe. There were six jacks, all circular holes around the top. There was a rectangular groove in the middle. It was aimed at the connection plug inside the freezer.
Dudian took a deep breath and clicked open.
The screen of the card reader suddenly lit up and showed the background picture.

Burong Castle, Mount Erdos.
Rudolph was eating breakfast in the spacious dining room as he read the daily newspaper. He looked at the butler next to him: "How is Miss? Is she eating on time?"
The middle-aged butler respectfully replied: "Miss has been on a hunger strike since the last time you promised her. She ate everything that was sent to her every day. Moreover she has been actively studying the law of the magistrate. She said that she will return to the magistrate in a few days."
Rudolph nodded: "Let the magistrate take care of her. Don't let her take dangerous cases."
"I will." The butler nodded.
"How is the market in Pine Town?" Rudolph asked again.
The housekeeper said: "Everything is in the budget. In a few days, we will open for business. Currently, the publicity is in place. These few days, there are a lot of businessmen entering Pine Cone Town. Moreover, several Chambers of Commerce have already found the person in charge there to cooperate with them. Pine Cone Town is included in their caravan route. I heard that the rent for the shops there has increased by several times.
Rudolph nodded: "Don't let Miss know about this. I don't want any more trouble."
The butler glanced at him and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Master, Miss has finally agreed to never see that brat again. This matter has already passed, so there's no need to pay attention to that brat anymore, right?"
Rudolph indifferently pointed to the breakfast in front of him: "Look at this dessert. It's bright and exquisite. It's appetizing. Would you eat it if there was a dead fly on it?"
The butler's face slightly changed. He knew that he had angered Rudolph. He understood the meaning of Rudolph's words: Even if the fly didn't eat the dessert, its presence was annoying.
"She's not young …" Rudolph looked out of the window: "Last time I missed the marriage with the Milan family. Later that bastard was sent to prison. It's not a pity. I hope that in my lifetime I can lead the Burong family to return to the inner wall and fulfill my father's last wish. I also want to see the scenery of the inner wall!"
The butler looked at Rudolph's rigid face. He sighed but didn't say anything.

Time flew by.
Since the news of Dean's arm injury spread out, the Ryan family had returned to the usual quiet life. They were running their own small businesses and eating and drinking frugally. The other clansmen who had tasted a little bit of nourishing life were not used to it. This kind of discomfort was getting more and more unbearable under the catalysis of time. Moreover, it was difficult to control.
