Rich!
Very rich?!
That's right. This was the first word that came to the mind of those who knew Auger's family.
A long time ago, Auger's family, the Rock Family, was the richest family in the Northern Lands.
It was said that since the beginning of the Dark Age, this family was already a famous tycoon in the Eastern Continent.
After that, the Rock Family went through many hardships. During the Hundred Year War, this family was no longer the top tycoon in the Eastern Continent.
However, in a place like the Northern Lands, the Rock Family was still the richest family.
Of course, a family could not survive for such a long time just by relying on wealth. The prerequisite for wealth was to have enough strength.
Before the rise of the Northern Kings, the Rock Family was only second to the centaur army. They were the richest family in the Northern Lands.
Later on, when the Northern Kings rose, the Rock Family was very insightful. They did not choose to suppress them. Instead, they joined forces and supported the Northern Kings.
Now, the Rock Family was the third most powerful group in the Northern Lands. They had been in this position for almost a thousand years.
Count Auger was the leader of the Rock Family's middle generation. His influence in Shihai City was naturally far greater than Old Colilon's.
Hayashi River's gaze inadvertently swept past Bei Ya. This information appeared in his mind. This was the information he had obtained after last night's investigation.
"So you're a guest from the Mechanical Hive. Hello. I'm Bei Ya. "
Bei Ya smiled and bowed. Her gaze paused on Hayashi River for a moment before moving on to Fowler. This elegant man from the Foka Tower had aroused her great interest.
Hayashi River exchanged some pleasantries and asked Fowler to stay behind to coordinate with Colilon's work.
Bei Ya was overjoyed by this order. She was just wondering what excuse she should use to get in touch with Fowler …
"Miss Bei Ya, nice to meet you!"
Fowler bowed with a smile. He held Bei Ya's hand and bowed. However, he left immediately after touching her, keeping a distance.
Hayashi River glanced at the couple. He did not say anything and left first.
…
Old Aidan and Harpoon only started cursing Fowler after they left the City Hall and boarded the hover car. They accused the flirtatious Fowler of seducing women again.
"The Rock Family behind Count Augernon is not simple! Fowler better not get into trouble after having an affair … "
Old Aidan said sourly and looked at Hayashi River.
"You're already so old. Your charm is long gone. Don't think about these things between men and women. Think about how to break through …" Hayashi River said, poking at her sore spot.
"I'm still very young. Even if I don't break through to realm seven, the time I can live is about the same as this kid!?"
Old Aidan was furious. He pointed at the harpoon and shouted, "This guy is too old to walk, but I might still be alive and kicking!"
"Why am I involved!?"
Little White Ox Harpoon cried out, "Grandpa Aidan, you're already so old, and you still have the nerve to compare yourself with young people?"
For a moment, the old man and Little White Cow glared at each other fiercely. They stared at each other in dissatisfaction, but the jealousy in their eyes was about to overflow.
Hayashi River laughed and shook his head. Old Aidan was right. Harpoon's talent in martial arts was average. It would be good if he could reach realm five in this lifetime.
In terms of lifespan, the life of a realm six powerhouse was indeed much longer than that of a realm five powerhouse. When Harpoon was too old to walk, Old Aidan might really still be alive and kicking.
After all, after reaching realm six, the body's functions would be maintained at their peak, and their lifespan would be greatly extended. Only when their lifespan was about to end would they suddenly grow old.
This was definitely not something a realm five powerhouse could do. This was also why when Nanluo City's Old Master Qiu's strength recovered, the attitudes of the various forces that had previously targeted him changed drastically.
As for realm seven powerhouses, it was even more exaggerated. Even when their lifespan was about to end and they were extremely old, they could still use their life force to temporarily recover to their peak.
This was the proverbial burning of life, but it was an extremely terrifying move!
As for realm eight powerhouses …
Hayashi River couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought of all the horrors of realm eight powerhouses. With realm eight powerhouses as imaginary enemies, it was a headache no matter how he thought about it.
"Let Fowler explore the Rock Family's background. The mining of [Rock Gold Ore] will definitely come into contact with the Rock Family later on. Humph, Ke Lilong really knows how to say nice things …"
When he thought of the one hundred million gold coins, a cold sneer appeared on his lips. It was not that his heart ached for the one hundred million gold coins, but when he looked at Ke Lilong's posture, it seemed like he was really prepared to swallow it all.
Old Aidan and Harpoon stopped arguing. Just now, when they saw Ke Lilong's expression when he accepted the 100 million gold coins check, they almost sneered.
Lin Chuan and the others had a clear understanding of the procedures for mining and smelting [Rock Gold Ore] before they came here. With Ke Lilong alone, even if he included his father, the old Ke Lilong, he wouldn't be able to make the final decision.
This related process would involve the Rock Family and other forces in Shi Haishan City.
Of course, this process was not difficult, and Ke Lilong could handle it by himself.
However, if the news of him swallowing 100 million gold coins by himself got out, Ke Lilong would have a hard time.
"If he really swallows it all by himself, it will be a good thing. After all, the money will come back, and it will come back very soon …" Hayashi River smiled.
…
"Ding!"
A notification sounded on the light screen. After it was opened, an image appeared. It was the surveillance device that Fowler was wearing.
Seeing this, Old Aidan and Harpoon both cursed. Was Fowler going to do a live broadcast of how he hooked up with a woman?
Hayashi River, on the other hand, looked at the image carefully. Fowler was currently at Count Augernon's mansion.
It was not because Beya was brave enough to bring a man to her house, but because Fowler was invited by Augernon to be a guest at his house.
In the image, it was an extremely luxurious mansion. Its architectural style was completely different from that of the Northern Lands. Every brick and tile was made of White Glazed Stone from Dawo City.
This was the best material for high-end buildings. The floor and walls made of White Glazed Stone would emit a faint white light under the light, making the whole building look like a gem.
The walls, floor, and even the ceiling of this mansion were all made of White Glazed Stone, giving off an extremely luxurious feeling.
The carvings on the walls and pillars were also made by famous artists. They were treasures that could easily be auctioned for millions of gold coins.
"Count Augernon's house is really high-end …" Hayashi River murmured.
It seemed that the Rock Family's reputation of being rich was not in vain.
Old Aidan opened his mouth and rubbed his hands together. He really wanted to sneak in at night and take away all the valuable things inside.
Of course, he was just thinking about it. Looking at the security around this mansion, and the patrolling bodyguards, they were all Realm Four powerhouses.
Not to mention, Old Aidan saw some extremely powerful Miniature Crystal Cannons in some hidden spots in the building.
Yes, Crystal Cannons that were 70% or more made of Energy Crystals.
The destructive power of this thing was comparable to a Five Star Heavy Cannon. It was an extremely terrifying weapon.
Miniature Crystal Cannons had many advantages. They were easy to carry, small in size, good for concealment, and extremely destructive. They were the best weapons for ambushes and assassinations.
However, very few people would use Miniature Crystal Cannons. The reason was none other than because they were expensive!
The Energy Crystals in a Five Star Heavy Cannon were at most the size of a rubber ball.
70% of its body was made of Energy Crystals. What kind of concept was that?
This was not something that ordinary people could afford. If they hired assassins to use Miniature Crystal Cannons, they would not have much money left even if they offered a sky-high reward.
As for the budget of the army, if they wanted to use Miniature Crystal Cannons, they would have to do it …
Now, Old Aidan found at least three Miniature Crystal Cannons in Count Augernon's mansion. Regarding this, he could only say one thing: How f * cking rich …
At this moment …
Fowler was sitting in the hall. Opposite him was a short and rather sturdy middle-aged man. Beya was leaning on the man's chest, looking extremely seductive.
However, Beya's eyes were filled with uneasiness. She did not expect to meet her husband in the administration hall.
Moreover, Augernon did not allow any explanation and forcefully invited Fowler over.
"Mister Fowler, are you from the Forka Tower?"
Count Augernon sipped his tea and looked at Fowler with a gloomy expression. Every part of this man's body was extremely annoying in his eyes.
In the administration hall, when Augernon saw his beautiful wife standing together with Fowler, he had the urge to kill this man.
If it was on other occasions, he would really do that. Anyway, in Shihai Mountain City, as long as he did not assassinate the Northern Royal Family or the Centaur Legion in the street, as a member of the Rock family, he would be safe and sound.
However, after learning about Fowler's identity, Count Augernon slightly restrained his killing intent and invited Fowler back.
If this man's words showed even the slightest bit of interest towards his beautiful wife, Count Augernon would activate the Miniature Crystal Cannons around him and blast this man into pieces.
An outstanding official of the Forka Tower's administration hall, and the accompanying advisor of the Mechanical Hive's representative … These identities sounded very intimidating, but Augernon did not care. Who asked this man to be so annoying? Anyone who attracted his beautiful wife like this deserved to die!?
In his mind, Augeron was thinking of the 108th way to kill Fowler when he heard the middle-aged man talk about his origins. He also talked about some things about the Foka Tower, as well as the various wonders of the Rock Crystal Tea in front of him …
He had to admit that when Fowler started talking, Augernon's hostility towards this man was slowly fading away.
"Count Augernon is too hospitable. Treating me with Rock Crystal Tea is something I don't deserve!"
Fowler said with a smile. Of course, he knew that he was in danger. From his observations along the way, he knew that Count Augernon was an extremely jealous husband who had no confidence in his wife.
Of course, anyone who had a wife like Beya would be worried about being cuckolded all the time.
Count Augernon, on the other hand, was very extreme in this aspect. Moreover, he was the Lord of Shihai Mountain City, and he had the power to decide the life and death of others.
Therefore, if Fowler was in Count Augernon's shoes, he would know what this short middle-aged man was thinking.
To be honest, Fowler was panicking right now. Even if he had the body of [Forka No.1], which was powerful enough, and even if he was hit by five, no, two more above his head, his core would not be damaged.
However, this was also very dangerous. [Forka No.1]'s body was very troublesome to repair. Moreover, Fowler was very satisfied with this body. It had the senses of a living being, and this was something that he absolutely did not want to lose.
Moreover, Mr. Chuan clearly had a lot of opinions about this modification. If the body was really damaged, and Mr. Chuan tampered with it during the repair, it would be very bad.
…
In an instant, Fowler thought of many possibilities, and he became even more determined to leave this place in one piece.
However, how should he deal with this situation …?
While Fowler was thinking about this, he did not stop talking. He was neither fast nor slow, but he kept talking about all kinds of things. As he listened, Augernon's hostility kept decreasing. On the other hand, Bea's eyes were glowing. If it was not for her husband, she would have already pounced on this elegant, handsome, and knowledgeable man and made love to him.
"Can't this woman control her gaze a little …" Fowler cursed in his mind.
It was because this woman's gaze was too intense that Count Algeneon's killing intent, which had just dropped, suddenly rose again.
Beauty was the source of trouble. This was what Mr. Chuan often said. Fowler used to think that it was not a big deal, but now, he felt that this phrase was very true.
At the same time.
On the hover car, Lin Chuan and the others who saw this scene could not help but laugh strangely. Fowler, to think that you would have such a day!?
