The Bister family's mansion was one of the top families on Earth in terms of power and talent. A family like this should be as crowded as a marketplace, their mansion should be resplendent and magnificent, with many servants to respond to a single call. However, when Xiao Ran stepped into the mansion, he discovered that it wasn't the case at all.
At least a dozen kilometers away from the Bister family's mansion, it was already deserted. Even closer to the mansion, there were long barbed wire fences erected. Along the way, Sheyan saw no less than 15 fortresses. After entering this core area that completely belonged to the Bister family, Xiao Ran saw a building that looked more like a fully alert military base than a luxurious bungalow.
Compared to the place where Katyas lived on the moon, this core mansion of the Bister Family was unbelievably heavily guarded. The huge courtyard in the center where the Bister Family members lived was basically deserted. Apart from a few people who stood outside the main building but did not fit in with the surrounding environment and were obviously there to receive guests, there was basically no one doing any work other than patrolling.
However, the entire garden and the outer walls of the main building looked clean and tidy. Moreover, the plants in the garden were also neatly trimmed. However, the fully armed guards patrolling the perimeter of the garden gave the garden a different feeling.
Perhaps sensing Xiao Ran's surprise, Katyas calmly looked out of the window and said, "My grandfather is old, so he would do some unreasonable things. For example, he basically transformed this place into a heavily protected fortress. Even I didn't like this place that was filled with pressure and decided to go to the moon. I'm sorry, I hope I didn't bring you unnecessary pressure. "
"Haha, it's fine." Xiao Ran smiled and glanced at Katyas. "Old people, after all, are a little frightened and lack a sense of security. It's normal for them to find more people to protect themselves."
Katyas smiled apologetically. He didn't find it strange that Xiao Ran knew that his grandfather became like this because of fear. After all, Xiao Ran even knew about the secret of his father's death. It would be strange if Xiao Ran couldn't deduce these things that could be detected on the surface.
Katyas' grandfather, who was also the founder of the Bister Family, Saiyam, had indeed changed the surroundings of the family into its current state out of fear and trepidation. When the war between the Earth Federation and Guyon broke out, Saiyam had the idea of taking out the original constitution from Laplace's Box. However, Guyon's actions caused the satellite to fall to Earth. In addition to the Earth Federation's desperate counterattack, everything that the war brought about made Saiyam afraid. Therefore, he suppressed this idea.
The fear of death caused Saiyam to do some very unreasonable things. The reason why Katyas' father passed away was also deeply related to Saiyam. However, this connection was deliberately ignored by all the living people. This was a kind of helpless tragedy. Because he was afraid of his own death, he chose to cause more people to die.
The car stopped directly in front of the main building. The few people standing outside the main building opened the door of Xiao Ran's car for the Federation. Katyas nodded at Xiao Ran, and the two of them got out of the car one after another from the opened door on their side.
After getting out of the car, Xiao Ran looked around. The car that Ryukino and El Erf were in followed closely behind. At this moment, they also opened their doors and got out. They did not feel the slightest bit nervous just because there were only the three of them. They calmly walked to Xiao Ran's side.
On the other hand, Xiao Ran's attention was focused on the emblem on the main door of the main building. He took a deep look at the emblem that represented the Bister Family. It was a white unicorn that represented holiness, nobility, pride, and hope. However, the unicorn had become the emblem of a family that brought death. It must be said that it was a kind of irony.
However, in Xiao Ran's eyes, this unicorn emblem represented something completely different. It represented the direction of the world in the future. It was a white unicorn ultimate body. It was also a new story.
Katyas circled around from the other side of the car. Just as he made an inviting gesture to Xiao Ran, before he could open his mouth to speak, the main building's door with the unicorn emblem suddenly opened. A middle aged woman wearing revealing attire and heavy makeup appeared before everyone's eyes.
El Erf simply glanced at the woman before turning his head away. As for Ryukino, his mouth twitched as a trace of disgust flashed through his eyes. Xiao Ran, on the other hand, looked at the woman with heavy makeup with interest. It wasn't that Xiao Ran's brain was damaged. Instead, he recognized this woman's identity. He felt that in fact, a woman, moreover a mature woman, how could she have such a sharp and unkind face and mouth?
What made Xiao Ran even more curious was, as the second daughter of the Bister family, compared to her elder brother, Katyas, whether it was temperament or appearance, they were all vastly different. Even the color of her hair was completely different. He couldn't see the slightest characteristic of being a member of the Bister family.
Katyas looked at this woman who suddenly rashly pushed open the door and frowned. In his opinion, this woman's action was simply a great offense. She didn't come out to greet them in advance, nor did she wait in the main building. Instead, she abruptly barged in. He immediately opened his mouth to berate. "Marsha, what are you doing? Don't tell me you've completely forgotten the etiquette of the Bister family!"
"Hehe." This woman named Marsha indifferently used her sharp voice to laugh. She completely ignored Katyas's berating. She glanced at Xiao Ran and the other two with contempt and said. "These are the most distinguished guests you spoke of? They don't look like a big deal. I thought you brought that woman who successfully ascended to the top to divide the family property. I didn't expect it to be these three youngsters. "
The 'youngsters' that Marsha spoke of was definitely not a good word. It was also not an adjective, but a prelude to another word. Not only did Katyas hear it, even Ryukino could tell that Marsha was saying that they weren't even fully grown yet. What qualifications did they have to receive the distinguished guest treatment of the Bister family?
"Marsha!" Katyas's eyes suddenly emitted a ball of rage. Xiao Ran raised his hand to block Katyas. After giving Katyas a slight smile, he looked up and down at this repulsive woman Marsha and said. "It's alright. You don't have to be angry with this person because of us."
"But … …" Xiao Ran purposely looked at Marsha with a very curious expression. He used a very soft voice that only he, Katyas, Ryukino and El Erf could hear. "If you knew that this woman seemed to have an affair with your son for some purpose. Of course, in the future, she could also incite your son to shoot at you for the same purpose. I wonder what you would choose to do? "
Katyas was stunned for a moment after hearing Xiao Ran's words. He then used an incomparably cold gaze to look at Marsha whose face was already filled with shock and panic. Although Marsha couldn't hear what Xiao Ran was saying clearly, the things that she had done in addition to Xiao Ran's faint voice and the shape of his mouth wasn't hard to guess. She obviously had a guilty conscience. She fiercely glared at Xiao Ran. "You … … What nonsense are you saying? How could I do such a thing! Are you insulting our Bister family! "
"No. Whether it is insulting or not, Katyas will have his own judgment. " Xiao Ran faintly smiled and said. "But I will advise Katyas to thoroughly investigate to what extent you have infiltrated the Anaheim company. How many of the Bister family's collaborators have become subjects under your skirt."
"This woman is a hindrance." El Erf suddenly opened his mouth coldly and said. "Do you want to deal with her?"
El Erf's words also startled Katyas. He didn't think that this boy who looked no more than a teenager could actually speak such words so calmly and coldly in the Bister family's territory. If it wasn't arrogance, then it was self-confidence. However, El Erf was definitely not the former. The way he spoke revealed a feeling that as long as he wanted to do something, no one could stop him.
Katyas knew that this El Erf was Xiao Ran's subordinate. He also knew his name, but he didn't know what kind of person this El Erf was. Xiao Ran also introduced El Erf to his collaborator in a timely manner. "Katyas, this is the one person exploration team I mentioned before."
After interacting with Xiao Ran for a period of time, Katyas was very clear that Xiao Ran's words at this time were definitely not a threat. Xiao Ran's character preferred to use open schemes, using the general situation to pressure him into making his own choice instead of using force to threaten him. One of the reasons was the friendship and trust he had for his collaborator. More importantly, Katyas was also clear that he didn't have the value of being threatened by Xiao Ran.
In Katyas's heart, even if the credibility of Xiao Ran's words was not 100%, it was at least 90%. Therefore, when Xiao Ran mentioned that Marsha had an affair with his son, he didn't care about Marsha at all. He even believed that Martha would kill him for some reason. Based on his understanding of Martha, Martha was a selfish and dark feminist. She would definitely do such a thing.
Then looking at it this way. El Erf's words were a warning to him. Xiao Ran's introduction of El Erf's identity was to show that El Erf wasn't a person who spoke without thinking. It was also to remind Katyas that even if this was really a military base, it could be solved by one person.
Having tied himself to Xiao Ran's war chariot, Katyas naturally viewed himself as one of Xiao Ran's people. Although he wasn't clear about what would happen in the future, if such an unstable factor were to erupt, Katyas was absolutely certain that Xiao Ran and the others would not encounter any problems. Instead, he and the entire Bister Family might suffer the frenzied retaliation of the Earth Federation.
Katyas used a cold gaze to look at Marsha. "The one who can make decisions for the Bister Family can only be me, not you, Marsha. Since you are in this family, you should do whatever I tell you to do. Don't think that you are infallible and go against my wishes by speaking against my guests."
After saying that, Katyas lightly waved his hand. "Lock her up for me. Confiscate everything on her. Without my permission, no one is allowed to come into contact with her. If she tries to escape … … kill her on the spot."
After all, the Patriarch of the Bister Family was Katyas in name. Although the one who truly made decisions was still Saiyam, the servants and guards would not disobey Katyas's orders because of this. When Katyas's voice fell, several people directly walked to the side of the panicking Marsha. Two of them grabbed her by the arms while the rest followed and brought Marsha into the main building. Along the way, she madly shouted in embarrassment and anger. "Bastard, put me down, bastard … …"
Katyas looked at the disappearing figures and gave a long sigh. He turned to look at Xiao Ran and shook his head with an ugly expression. "I'm sorry that such a thing happened. I hope it won't dampen your spirits. Our family is unfortunate that such a thing actually happened. Even I was kept in the dark. "
"The one who should be apologizing is me." Xiao Ran smiled apologetically. "Originally, it's not convenient for me to say too much about such a thing. However, that Marsha suddenly jumped out and made me unable to hold back. She is indeed an unstable factor in our cooperation."
"According to the results of our investigation of the Bister Family, Marsha Bister is a person who values power and money very much. She is cold-blooded and selfish. Originally, this was an internal matter of your family. However, Marsha Bister's character and moral character are too worrying. If the matter of our cooperation and planning is leaked out, it is very likely to implicate your entire Bister Family and ultimately lead to a disaster for the Bister Family."
"I know." Katyas nodded. He gestured to Xiao Ran and then led Xiao Ran into the main building. At the same time, he said, "Sigh, I also neglected this point from the beginning. Marsha is indeed a person who can't control her desires. Before we get a preliminary result of the things we are doing, I will lock her up. I won't let her ruin things."
