"Master, do you want me to ask a doctor to check your arm?" Kroen looked at Dean's bandaged left arm and asked in a worried tone.
Dean shook his head: "It's not the same as before. It's inconvenient for outsiders to know about my physical condition. It's a pity that we don't have a trustworthy doctor around us. We can only lick our wounds by ourselves."
Kroen thought for a moment: "Master, we can ask a doctor to come over and wait for him to finish his diagnosis. Then we can kill him in secret."
Dean turned to look at him. He nodded: "That's a good idea, but it's not worth it to kill a person."
Kroen was surprised in his heart. Previously when Gwyneth wanted to save the civilians in the towns outside the golden wall, Dean had reluctantly agreed. He didn't expect that at this moment he would think about a doctor. Kroen felt that he couldn't understand the teenager who came out of the orphanage with him. He couldn't figure out Dean's thoughts.
Dean looked out of the window at the drizzle. After a long time he seemed to be talking to himself: "How long has this rain been?"
Kroen bowed his head: "Master, today is the sixth day."
"Is it?" Dean murmured: "It seems that this year's monsoon rain is much longer than the past."
"Yes."
Dean was silent for a moment. He sighed and said: "No matter how heavy the rain is, it will eventually stop, right?"
"Yes, master."

The new morning papers were spread to all regions.
Rudolph was sitting in his spacious office reading today's morning papers. His eyelids had been twitching since he woke up in the morning. He had a hunch that something big was going to happen today.
When he finished reading the newspapers from the Military Ministry, the Divine Hall, and various consortiums, his face became even gloomier. He threw the newspaper on the table and felt an unprecedented fatigue. He rubbed his face with both hands, and his thick black eyebrows were deformed. He took a deep breath and exhaled forcefully. He turned to the butler beside him and said slowly, "Tell me, did I do something wrong?"
The butler was startled. He carefully asked: "Master, what do you mean?"
Rudolph looked at him but seemed to be thinking about other things: "Was I wrong to stop this boy from dating Ni 'er?"
He didn't expect that the master would mention this matter at this critical time. But he thought of the news in the newspaper and felt relieved. He replied: "Master, you are just doing your duty as a father. The young master was just a small hunter. Moreover, he was a nobody in the civilian district. He had no name and no background. Anyone would have done the same thing. He can only blame himself for overestimating himself. If he is sensible, he should have taken the initiative to give up and wait for his achievements to be together with the young miss. Only then can he protect his feelings."
Rudolph was silent for a moment: "But I've read countless people in my life. But I didn't pay attention to the person my daughter likes. If I had more contact with him then maybe I would have been able to see that he is extraordinary. After all, the light of a genius can't be covered."
The butler was startled and didn't know what to say.
"Every business needs to be carefully observed in combination with the market, general trends, materials and other aspects." Rudolph said to himself: "I have been in business all my life. I have followed the principle of observation, understanding and implementation. However, I messed up this business deal. If I had given this young man some tests and made some requests, perhaps he would have shown me his potential back then. "
The steward sighed in his heart when he saw the depressed look on his master's face. He said: "Master, you can't be blamed for this. Anyone would have done the same. No matter how hard a black-haired peasant tries, he can never become a noble. He can only blame himself for not showing his talent in magic."
Rudolph shook his head: "Hair color and identity are just external packaging of a commodity. We do business to dig out the value of something that others think is worthless and make huge profits. If everyone thinks that it is valuable then it won't be able to sell it. But I made a mistake in this matter. I was blinded by the rough and humble appearance. I didn't see that it was wrapped in gold!"
The butler tried to comfort him: "Master, it's useless to talk about these things. Even without him our family will still prosper. We will still step into the inner wall and your long-cherished wish will come true!"
Rudolph's mouth twitched: "You don't understand. You don't understand. The Mellon consortium is finished. Do you know why I withdrew the funds from the consortium and sold the shares? It's because I know that the Mellon consortium and I have provoked a person that we shouldn't have provoked. But I didn't think that this person would grow so fast and terrifying …"
"What?" The butler was stunned as he didn't respond: "Master, Mellon consortium is finished? How, how is it possible? Even if this person has become a master he can't do anything to the Mellon consortium … This … "
"When he escaped from prison, I thought it was just the negligence of Thorn Flower Prison. But look at the changes in the entire commercial district in just one year after his escape. We went to various places and heard the most common words. Yes, they are all about him."
"A year ago, he was still a prisoner. Now, he's the ideal lover in the eyes of all the noble ladies. He's the son-in-law that all the families want the most. When this war ends, he'll become the hero of all the commoners. Do you think that all this is just a coincidence? No. This isn't something that an average person can do. Most people don't have the courage to murder a deacon of the magistrate. He is a madman and an extremely terrifying mad genius … "
The butler was startled as he listened to Rudolph's words.
At this time a maid ran in: "Master, there is a general who wants to see you. We couldn't stop him. He is waiting for you in the hall."
Rudolph sighed as he thought of something. He got up and straightened his necktie. The bitterness on his face was swept away. It seemed that in the blink of an eye he was back to the tycoon of the business world: "Go and entertain him. I'll be right there."
"Yes." The maid retreated.
"Master, is the military looking for you to discuss business with our consortium?" The butler asked curiously as he handed the coat to Rudolph.
Rudolph indifferently replied: "There is no need for the general to come out to discuss business."
Meanwhile, George and Mark were discussing something in the Mel family. Suddenly a butler ran in: "Master, young master, there is a general who wants to see you. He is waiting for you in the hall. It seems that he has come with ill intentions."
"Oh?" Mark frowned: "I know. You go first. We will be right there."
"Yes."
Mark looked at his father after the butler left: "Father, the military sent a general. Is it because the assassination was exposed? It shouldn't be. Even if they check all the information about the shadow they won't be able to find us. I have already prepared for this. "
"Let's go and see." George got up and said.
They went out of the office and went to the hall downstairs.
"General Casey, what brings you here today?" Mark saw a middle-aged general waiting in the hall. He laughed as he walked down the stairs to greet him.
