On the eve of the peace conference, Chaos City was very peaceful and peaceful.
However, messenger pigeons flew out of the city from time to time, indicating that not everyone could sleep peacefully.
Normal people might treat this day as a festival, but to Chaos City, this was an annual event. As Chaos City was established on this day, many children were looking forward to the festival tomorrow.
Apart from the rulers of the various races, some well-informed merchants were also finding it difficult to sleep.
At the Buffett Manor.
Standing behind Ian, who was fishing under the moonlight, the Hill wore a worried expression as she said, "I wonder what the outcome of tomorrow's peace conference will be."
"With Alex's efforts, the peace alliance has already been established. Even if Andre's ambitions don't die, it'll be very difficult for him to create any more waves," Ian said calmly.
"You said that Andre is a calm lunatic, and he could do anything." The Hill's brows were still tightly furrowed.
"But he never does anything stupid. This is also the reason why he can make the Roth Empire become more powerful." Ian smiled, and said, "If he were a businessman, he would also be a very successful businessman."
The Hill was deep in thought.
"Actually, everyone should thank Alex. He is a true warrior. He is both brave and smart." Yi En looked at the moon on the surface of the water and sighed with emotion. "It's hard to imagine that such a young man, who has experienced the lowest point of his life and reached the peak of his martial arts, can still use his martial arts with such restraint. He clearly knows what he wants to do and can execute it perfectly. A young man like him is really rare. "
"Alex is indeed a very outstanding person." The Hill nodded slightly. Even though she didn't really care about those so-called powerhouses, this man who was changing this world deeply still attracted her attention.
She had once thought that she should be one of the most powerful people among the young people. The Buffett Manor's massive financial empire gave her a lot of power over the entire Norland Continent.
However, when this world gradually became chaotic, she realized that her power was not stable. She couldn't even make this world change because of her.
However, young powerhouses like Alex and Irina had stepped forward at a time like this. Their every action was changing the situation of this world, and everyone had no choice but to listen to them carefully.
"Money is the most worthless thing in this chaotic world. Strength is everything," Ian said with a smile.
"Money may be useless, but technology is. The train line to Vic Mountain has already been tested successfully. Once the war starts, we can send soldiers directly to Vic Mountain." A smile also on the Hill's face.
Ian slowly turned his head to look at Hill, and the smile on his face grew brighter. "What I thought most about you wasn't your keen financial sense, but your courage to innovate and not be afraid of failure.
I don't need a caretaker. What I want is a successor who can lead the Buffett Family into the next great era. I'm sure you can do this well. "
"I will try my best to live up to your expectations." Hill nodded slightly.
.
At the Moreton Manor.
"Master, I heard that things haven't been very peaceful recently. Why don't we go into hiding? I heard that the Roth Empire is going to attack soon. It's not a good idea to stay in Chaos City. " Denise walked into Geoffrey's study, and looked at Geoffrey with a nervous expression.
Geoffrey looked at her, and coldly chided, "Ignorant woman, you had no choice but to take refuge in Rodu. If the Roth Empire is going to attack Chaos City, how can you run to Rodu?"
"We're just merchants. We have businesses in Rodu, and we're also humans. As long as we don't say anything, who will know?" Denise was getting anxious.
"My Family Moreton thrives because of Chaos City. How can we retreat like this?" Geoffrey said in a serious voice.
"Master, if you don't leave, then I'll leave with Cyril and the others. My family has already prepared a flying steed, and we'll set off tonight." Denise's eyes were averting her gaze.
Geoffrey looked in the direction of the door, and coldly said, "Get in here!"
Cyril ducked his head, and entered the room reluctantly. He didn't dare to look at Geoffrey with his head lowered. Instead, he hid behind Denise, and softly said, "Father, come with us. We'll take all of our family assets with us, and we'll be able to enjoy ourselves in Rodu. Perhaps we'll be able to live even better than in Chaos City."
"You bastard!" Geoffrey smashed the cup beside Cyril's feet. The tea and porcelain shards splashed all over his feet.
"If you don't want to go, then so be it. I'm going to leave with Mother and Uncle anyway. I can't stay and die with this lousy city …" Cyril jumped back, and directly exited the study.
"Piss off! I'll pretend that I don't have a son like you! "Geoffrey's hands and beard were trembling with rage.
"Master, we'll wait for you in Rodu." Denise didn't dare to stay for long, either. She hurriedly turned and left.
Soon, Denise, Cyril's family, and a few servants carried all of their belongings onto a horse-drawn carriage, and left the Moreton Manor.
Geoffrey leaned heavily against the back of his chair, and heaved a forlorn sigh.
Right at this moment, a figure walked in with a small stove. "Grandpa, it's getting cold. Let me make some hot tea for you."
The small stove was placed on the coffee table, and the charcoal fire was burning brightly. Steam began to rise from the copper stove shortly after it was placed on the table.
Geoffrey looked at Gloria, who was brewing tea with a serious expression, and asked, "Do you want to leave?"
"If Chaos City is gone, where will I call home?" Gloria looked up at Geoffrey. This grandfather of hers had always been very imposing, but now, he looked like an ordinary old man. His forlorn expression was rather pitiful.
Geoffrey's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Aren't you afraid?"
"I was a little afraid the last time in Rodu, but I'm not afraid now." Gloria shook her head.
A smile appeared on Geoffrey's face. He glanced at the teapot, and said, "The tea smells very good."
"A guest gave it to me. He said that he picked it from his farm. I've brewed it once, and I think it tastes good, so I'm giving it to you to try," Gloria said with a smile.
Soon, the tea was ready.
Gloria poured a cup for Geoffrey, and placed it in front of him.
Geoffrey looked at Gloria with a calm and serious expression, and said, "Tomorrow, I'll announce that you're the head of Family Moreton."
