Looking at the forest in front of him, Tang En felt like he had just been f * cked up. Just how rich were they?
There was still a bustling city not far behind, but here, separated by a fence, it was a quiet forest. He could vaguely see the winding roads and lakes …
The Forier family had actually built a man-made forest and lake in their own territory …
He was truly a 24K nouveau riche!
The concept of a district in a city was, of course, different from the game. Could Stormwind City's Garden be compared to Beijing's Chaoyang District? Obviously not …
Furthermore, there were only a handful of noble families living in such a large residential area. It was easy to imagine how much land each family could get.
The Forier family was in charge of the Sword of the Kingdom and the First Army of the Empire. Their influence and power once surpassed that of the Irus royal family, causing the royal family to feel threatened. But with the "hard work" of the previous family leaders, the Forier family successfully resolved the crisis and once again gained the royal family's trust. They even gained the royal family's favor and married a princess.
For a family that was so valued by the royal family, it was easy to imagine how luxurious they were. At a glance, the vast land was the property of the Forier family.
There was a saying that went, "The poor live in the city and nobody cares, but the rich have distant relatives in the mountains". It was very apt in Prandal as well.
Due to the strength of the House of Foer, almost all the branches of the House of Foer were unwilling to cut ties with them. Some of the branches' bloodlines could be traced back to hundreds of years ago, but they still refused to give up on the name of the branch of the House of Foer. They even came back to show their faces from time to time.
Fortunately, the Garden only allowed the direct third generation of the nobles to live in. The others had to move out of the Garden, so these people would not all live here.
However, this couldn't stop the enthusiasm of those people, just like now ….
"Eh?"
Just as he reached the entrance, Tang En saw a carriage enter the Forier family's gate.
Hilton's eyes were sharp. She whispered, "My lord, it's that Kevin."
"He really is from the Forier family …"
Although he already knew, Tang En was still speechless. Being in the same family as this kind of person was really a disgrace to Elsa.
At this moment, Kevin also noticed the carriage behind them.
"Isn't this the carriage of the Lord of Ellington, Tang En? Why is he here at Forier's place? "
Kevin slightly furrowed his brows and ordered the guard to stop the carriage. He jumped off the carriage and strode towards Tang En's carriage with his head held high. He sneered, "Why are you following me? Do you think that we can be friends just because we traveled together before? You sure are thick-skinned! "
Tang En didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Although I'm quite thick-skinned, but …"
"Let me tell you something." Kevin's face was full of disdain. "There are plenty of people who want to get close to the House of Foer. A mere lord like you has no right to enter this place. Not to mention, you have to be sentenced by the Noble Council … I'm warning you, you better get out of here. Otherwise, I'll be happy to show you the power of the House of Foer."
Tang En was speechless. If this guy was really a direct descendant of House Foer, House Foer would probably fall from its peak in no time.
"Young Master Kevin, what's wrong?"
The House of Foer's guards greeted them with a frown. However, they weren't too fierce. After all, entering the garden meant that their identities had been verified.
Kevin pursed his lips and said with a look of disgust, "Chase them out. They followed me all the way here. Maybe they know my identity and want to get close to me."
Although the guard captain said that the one beside Tang En, called Hilton, was a master, there were plenty of masters in the House of Foer. Kevin wasn't afraid of her.
"Sir, is that so?"
The guards looked at Tang En, waiting for his explanation.
"Obviously not."
Tang En took out his badge again and said, "Please inform Grand Duke Foer that we came from Ellington. I think he should …"
"Ellington?!"
The guards' expressions changed slightly. They looked at the carriage excitedly. "Mr. Abedon? Are you back?! "
Elsa, who had just poked her head out, was shocked. She quickly shrank back. Elijah, who was curious, poked her head out and stuck her tongue out at Tang En, giggling.
"Sorry, it's not Mr. Abedon." Tang En smiled and confirmed Abedon's identity. "It's Mr. Abedon's daughter, Elsa Foer. She's back."
Kevin was shocked when he heard Abedon's name. However, when he heard Elsa's full name, his face turned green.
Elsa?
Elsa Foer?
She's Uncle Abedon's daughter?!
Tang En noticed the change in Kevin's expression and sneered in his heart. This guy finally knows that Elsa is his sister? Look at how scared he is …
In fact, Tang En was wrong.
The reason why Kevin was so surprised was not because Elsa was his sister, but because of Elsa's identity.
After staring at Elsa, Kevin suddenly turned around and hurried into the carriage without saying a word. He rushed into the manor.
"What's wrong with him?"
Hilton frowned slightly. "I feel that he's a little strange."
Tang En shook his head and said to the guard very politely, "Can I trouble you to inform the duke?"
"No need to inform him. You can go in. I think the duke will be very happy to see her."
The guard had just seen Elsa's appearance. She looked exactly like Abedon's wife, Clairat, so he quickly let them in.
"Thank you."
Tang En got into the carriage again and wobbled into the manor.
"I didn't expect Mr. Abedon's daughter to come back … Last month, Mr. Abedon seemed to have come back for his daughter, right?"
"Should be … But this time, that Kevin is probably going to have a tragedy, haha."
"Serves him right. Although he's the duke's grandnephew, he can live a good life with the help of his ancestors, but he still wants more … Now that Miss Elsa is back, he has nothing to do with it."
Grandnephew?
Tang En inadvertently heard the words of the guards and frowned slightly. What is Aubrey's grandnephew doing here?
Not to mention here in Prandal, even in China where blood relations were highly valued, only a few people would contact distant relatives like grandnephews. Of course, if you were a national cadre, it would be different. Not to mention grandnephews, grandnephews, grandnephews, grandnephews, and even distant relatives outside of the nine generations and five empires could be related to you …
Tang En gave up after thinking for a while. After all, he would be able to see Aubrey soon, and then the truth would be revealed.
Deep in the manor, an old man in his fifties with a tough face sat on a stone platform by the lake. His eyes were slightly closed, and his breathing was steady but weak, as if he had entered a state of tortoise rest. However, his body was constantly trembling at a high frequency that could not be detected by the naked eye. Surging blood energy flowed through his body, giving him great strength and a longer life.
He was the current head of the House of Foer, the invincible blade of the Irus Empire, Aubrey Foer. Beside him was a two-handed blue-gold greatsword as tall as a man. The greatsword was made of fine gold and shone with an unconcealable magical light. This was his favorite weapon, and he called it the Sword of Condemnation!
However, at this moment, he was faced with a very difficult choice. Due to someone's strong request, his beloved sword might have to change its name.
Suddenly, Aubrey opened his eyes. With a gentle wave of his hand, the two-handed greatsword flew into the sky. The next moment, the Grand Duke leaped into the air and grabbed the sword hilt in midair. He swung the sword elegantly, and a huge X-shaped sword energy tore through the sky!
"Hmph! This is my answer! "After Aubrey landed, he carried the greatsword on his shoulder and snorted." You want to change the name of my beloved sword? In your dreams! "
The next moment, a cold light suddenly flew out from the forest and stabbed at the back of Aubrey's head!
Aubrey's body flashed, and the attack was forcefully dispersed. "After so many years, don't you have any new tricks? Old bastard, if you have any objections, come and face me! "
"Hmph!"
A cold snort came from the forest. "I'm right here. What do you mean by pointing an X at the sky? Are you trying to show off? "
Aubrey said disdainfully. "It's to tell everyone in Alinx that if you want to change the name of my beloved sword to make way for you, there's no way!"
"Good fellow! I didn't give myself the title of Grand Duke of Condemnation! If you have any objections, go talk to Victor! "
Aubrey was furious. "You dare say that if you hadn't agreed, that kid would have given you this title?"
"Say what you want …"
"You old bastard! I haven't settled the matter of your daughter eloping with my son — "
"Aubrey, you're shameless!"
An old man was furious. He jumped out from the forest with his sword. "It was your son who kidnapped my precious daughter! See if I don't kill you! "
"Very well! You're trespassing on private property. I can kill you openly now! "
Aubrey rushed over with a sinister smile. "Come, come, come! Aradeline, if you don't kill me today, I'll be your father! "
"You want to be my son? It's not that simple!"
Aradeline also rushed over with a sinister smile. "Parola was blind to marry you!"
"Cough, cough …"
Just as the two were about to fight, a light cough came from the side. Aubrey and Aradeline froze in place at the same time.
"Aradeline." A kind and beautiful woman had a smile on her face, but one could faintly feel that there were traces of black energy leaking out. "Who did you say was blind?"
"Parola …"
Aradeline's smile was uglier than his crying face. "Why are you here …"
"I've been sitting here all this time."
Parola took a sip of black tea and said slowly, "I think you're the one who's blind, right?"
"Aubrey!"
Aradeline gnashed his teeth in hatred. "You tricked me!"
