"Please." Mark looked at Rudolph next to him and smiled at the man.
The man nodded, "Now that the border war is about to erupt, our financial group has poured all of our resources into this war. We've also taken this opportunity to drag down the Apostle of the Temple who has a bad relationship with our financial group. Everything is going according to plan. However, I heard that after this war is over, our financial group will form an alliance with the Scott financial group?"
"Alliance?"
"With Scott Financial Group?"
The people on both sides of the conference table were a little surprised. They looked at each other and some of them laughed out loud.
Mark frowned: "Is it because of my age that I have auditory hallucinations? How can you say such absurd things? I really doubt that you came from the inner wall. "
The man smiled and said, "Patriarch Kenson, you must be joking. I only heard it from others and thought that it was Patriarch Kenson's new strategic deployment. But now it seems like it was nothing."
Mark replied: "What did you hear? Keep a close eye on people who deliberately spread rumors that are unfavorable to our consortium. I want to see which consortium would spread such stupid rumors. "
The man said respectfully, "Yes, I will do it even if you don't say it."
…
…
Mount Erdos, in the castle.
After the consortium meeting, Rudolph sat in the carriage and went straight back to the castle. He didn't exchange greetings with the other nobles along the way. He took off his coat and gave it to the maid. He took off his hat and threw it into the maid's arms. The maid was so scared that she almost dropped the exquisite hat to the ground.
"Master." The butler came up to him. "Miss wants to see you …"
"I don't have time." Rudolph quickly entered the hall and went upstairs.
"You're not free, but I am." A figure stepped out from the corner of the second floor and stopped in front of Rudolph. She was wearing a green floral skirt. It was Jenny.
Rudolph stared at her for a moment, then turned and walked past her into his office. Jenny immediately followed him into the room. She waited for him to sit down. She threw a newspaper on the desk: "Father, if I'm not wrong then this newspaper belongs to a news agency under the Mellon consortium. Why? You promised me that as long as I don't see him again, you won't hurt him again. Why? "
Rudolph's eyes slowly moved from the newspaper cover to his daughter's face. He looked at her deeply and indifferently said: "There is no reason. The newspaper is very clear."
"Father!" Jenny bit her lips and said, "Do you think such a fake thing can convince others? He is the most promising person in the 'Temple of Elements'. As long as he is willing, the other six consortiums, including our Mellon consortium, and other wealthy businessmen are willing to spend a lot of money to make friends with him. Is he short of money? No shortage! How could he do such a thing! "
Rudolph was expressionless: "Money doesn't mean power. Maybe he wants revenge?"
"No, impossible!" Jenny stared at him: "I know him. He wouldn't do such a stupid thing!"
Rudolph indifferently said: "Nothing is impossible. He has been in Thorn Flower Prison for more than three years. Who knows what kind of changes have occurred in his mind in such an environment? If you say that he doesn't hate me, will you believe it? Will I believe it? "
Hearing this sharp rhetorical question, Jenny was a little absent-minded, but very quickly, she focused her gaze and looked at her father seriously. "Hate! He will hate you! He should hate you! You wronged him! But even if he wants to retaliate against us he won't use such means! How many casualties will it cause? He can't be so cold-blooded! I believe him! "
Rudolph raised his eyelids and stared at her eyes. After a moment his eyes slowly fell back to the newspaper: "If he had the status he has today then I wouldn't object to you being together! I was wrong three years ago but I won't this time. You can't imagine what kind of change a person will have after staying in Thorn Flower Prison for three years! Maybe … "
Rudolph suddenly became silent as he said the word 'maybe'. He slowly said: "It's useless to tell me about this because I didn't participate in this matter. I believe that he didn't collude with the barbarians but he is not the ignorant teenager from three years ago. Oh no, he wasn't ignorant three years ago. He was able to destroy an intermediate hunter's hunting team with the strength of a primary hunter. His cunning is beyond our imagination. You should stay away from him in the future."
Jenny was startled. Suddenly, she received a message and her eyes widened. "You weren't involved in this matter? Then … "
"It was planned by that playmate of yours since you were a child." Rudolph looked at her and frowned: "You should know that our family's position in the Mellon consortium is deteriorating. We have offended the architect. Mel family has attacked us in many places. Our shares in the consortium have fallen to less than 30%. The Mel family is the dominant family in the entire Mellon consortium. Today the butcher Kenson let his daughter attend the meeting room. Although I knew that this little girl was like her grandfather but I didn't expect her to be more insidious than I had imagined. She has full control over the kid. Even a famous tycoon would lose his fortune and be imprisoned in prison. Humph!" Rudolph looked up at her and frowned: "You should know that our family's position in the Mellon consortium is getting worse and worse. Moreover we have offended the architect who is in the limelight. The Mel family has attacked too many places. Now our shares in the consortium have fallen to less than 30%.
Jenny couldn't believe it: "You … Are you talking about Saya? How could this be? How could Saya enter the meeting hall? Isn't she playing around all day? She doesn't go to parties, concerts or piano lessons. How can she do all these things? "
Rudolph sighed: "It seems that the little girl's mind is higher than I thought. She has learned to disguise herself since childhood."
Jenny stared at him. Her mind was buzzing. She was confused. Some pictures flashed through her mind. Suddenly, she woke up and bitterly said: "It turned out to be like this. I felt that she was different from other girls since she was a child. She knew everything. She once said that playing the piano and writing poems were the pursuit of mediocre people. Her ideal was to fill the entire giant wall with wealth and then stand on top of the golden tower to look at the scenery outside the giant wall."
Rudolph was slightly startled: "How old was she when she said that?"
Jenny replied: "It seems to be when she was eight years old. That year we talked about each other's dreams. When I heard her words I thought that she was deliberately exaggerating her joke. Now it seems that what she really loves is not poetry but what she has now."
Rudolph was silent for a moment. He sighed: "Her pursuit is very similar to her grandfather. If that old guy George was only twenty years old and energetic, then it is estimated that in thirty years the entire giant wall will be filled with the wealth of the Mel family. But … "He looked at Jenny with a trace of gentleness in his eyes:" Your life is more meaningful compared to them. I am better than them in raising a daughter! "
Jenny saw the gratification in her father's eyes. She bit her lower lip and whispered: "Father, is what you said true?"
"Yes."
…
…
On the wilderness plain outside the fortress.
Dean took Gwyneth and Sergei to move forward quickly. They crossed mountains and ridges. Along the way they killed the mutated monsters that blocked their way. There were even rotting undeads among them. It seemed that they were explorers who came out of the giant wall to search for materials in the radiation zone.
