Chapter 198: The Last Supper
When Gu Hanhan and Rosie returned to the guest room of the residence, they happened to meet the servants and doctors of the Nevia family pushing an old man with skull-like eye sockets and cheeks in a wheelchair and leaving. Gu Hanhan was startled by the old man's zombie mummy-like posture, his heart thumped and quickly dodged aside, and when the servants pushed him into the elevator and returned to the room, he asked with palpitations: "Who was that just now?"
Anthony was sitting on the couch reading today's newspaper with his feet crossed, and replied without raising his head, "At present, we are still the owner of this estate, the chairman of the Navia Foundation. ”
"It turns out that he is an IOU and his father, but why is it now? I haven't heard that my father still has a time period. ”
"It's the Navia," Anthony corrected casually, "he's going to die, so both the family and the consortium will soon have a different owner." ”
"Well, it looks like he's sick - why did he come to you, he's sick like that?"
"I guess I'm here to inquire about those assassins. Anthony replied casually, "If it is certain that the people are not dead, Mars really has any evidence in his hands, and will clean up the nobles of Dongdan, then he plans to go to the dinner party tonight." ”
"It's really a great father's love, to send himself to death, and to leave the chance of life to his family. Gu Hanhan sighed with emotion, and then asked, "Then did you tell him the truth?"
"I don't think I need to fool a dead man. ”
"Well, you're really good at crying and fake mercy. If you are really sympathetic, people have repeatedly asked to meet you, but you will not go, and you will not wait for the old man who is almost angry to come to meet you - why do I think you are a little absent-minded today, Anthony?" Gu Hanhan sat next to him and grabbed the newspaper in his hand, "What are you reading?"
After discovering that it was full of entertainment editions of celebrity and lady romance lace news, Gu Hanhan was desperate and threw the newspaper and shouted: "Oh my God, Anthony, you actually like to watch this." You must know that this kind of low-style paparazzi is disdainful of even my sister. ”
Anthony patted Gu Hanhan's head: "Don't look down on the entertainment version so much." From this it is at least possible to see who intends to completely defect to Maximilian, and who Maximilian is ready to choose. ”
"Is there one?" Gu Hanhan looked at Anthony suspiciously.
Anthony smiled slightly, pulled the newspaper, circled a malt-colored hair with his fingers, wore a black tuxedo, looked a little melancholy like a pianist, and pulled a young man with a beautiful girl on his arm. Next to the stereo projection of the man, it is noted that his name is Douglas Valentina Anfin, the young owner of the generation of the Dondan Anfen family.
Gu Hanhan immediately slid away the ring, and Du Niang's search results showed that the Anfen family was one of the more powerful of the more than 20 energy consortiums in Dongdan, and this family had appeared here since the first day that humans set foot in the Dongdan Star Domain, and it can be said that it is one of the oldest energy families in Dongdan. The family had reached the peak of its own history four hundred years ago. At that time, about 50% of the lanthanum crystal minerals in Dongdan were directly or indirectly controlled by this family. But the glory time was short, less than a century, and it gradually declined. The replacement of the production line is always one step behind, the contract is always snatched away by the rising star, and there are many places to spend money. The rich pits were sold one after another, and the fifty percent monopoly mining rate was declining day by day, returning to below eight percent, the share that their family's ancestors had just in the days when this star field was developed. Now, the position of the Dongdan overlord of the Anfen family has long been blown away by the wind and rain, and has been replaced by the seven Dongdan sisters, including the Navia family, just an old and decadent family that survives by the shadow of their ancestors, is unknown, goes with the flow, and is marginalized. Except for the occasional headlines of the entertainment version of the scandal party between family members and female celebrities, almost all the people of Dongdan can't remember this family.
"Just him?, why did the handsome marshal take a fancy to him?" Gu Hanhan asked in disbelief, "Shameless lackeys, evil minions, and the like should not look for something that looks murderous, and can scare people with a face full of meat?" ”
"Do you want to bet?" Anthony looked at Gu Hanhan with interest.
"Don't fight!" Gu Hanhan rolled his eyes and simply refused. Then he leaned down on the sofa with Anthony's lap on his lap and asked, "Do you think the handsome marshal will show up at tonight's banquet?" Uncle Rosie went early to change his clothes and get ready, and he looked very nervous, and you said that we should sneak in and watch the fun. ”
"Are you going to see Maximilian's face?" said Anthony, solemnly, "then I advise you to forget it." Any woman who stares at Maximilian's face for more than five seconds is likely to be executed by the Earth Goddess Gaia herself. ”
"So cruel?!, I finally saw that I was more unreasonable than my sister. Gu Hanhan retreated on the spot, "Then let's not go." Let's honestly squat in the house and wait for Uncle Rossi to come back and broadcast it to us. ”
"Why do you always like to call Uncle Rosie?" asked Anthony suddenly.
"In this way, when you treat him, you won't think about falling in love with him, Uncle Rosie is a gentle gentleman...... What, Anthony, I help Uncle Rosie with healing, don't you really mind?" Gu Hanhan answered with some weakness, and took the opportunity to quietly look at Anthony's face, hoping to find a little clue from the change in his expression.
However, Anthony's expression did not change at all, only brushing her long hair with his fingers as usual, playing with the ends of her hair, and absentmindedly and casually responding: "If you think it's good......"
XX is a XX, how can you be so unprincipled and less positional, insisting on self-centeredness is the right way in life, stupid!
So, in my heart, ten thousand unhappy and embarrassed to show that the five good girls on the earth opened their mouths with a subtle psychology of "let my sister show you" and became addicted-
"Speaking of which, Gaia is so stingy, and he is about to die after only five seconds, but if he is replaced, he will definitely be taller than her. I mean hypothetical, in case one day the cosmic god system convulsions, open the back door for my sister to be a goddess for two days, someone stares at you and commits a nymphomaniac, my sister invites her to eat at most, and after the soup is finished, put more salt in the soup, and put a mouse on the plate - well, the salt comes first, and the mouse catches a live ......"
"......" Anthony was silent, thinking: You still learn from Gaia to play with your life, people are at most indiscriminate killing, you are called torture and killing.
......
The dinner at the Sand Star City Hall was held at 8 p.m., and Rossi and Navia went together and left the estate an hour early. At the same time, a small family dinner was also held inside the Navia Manor, and the old lady of the Navia family came forward to invite all the members of the family to attend, and invited Anthony and Gu Hanhan.
It is said to be a small family dinner, but in fact there are quite a lot of people. All of Navia's relatives in Sand Star were present, and there were hundreds of them. There are also more than two dozen members of the board of directors of the consortium, and of course, the board members themselves are relatives of the family, core members. Gu Hanhan was eating this kind of fresh foie gras native to the earth, which was quite precious during the war, and at the same time admiring the well-dressed gentlemen and ladies of the Navia family to cover up their panic and anxiety with noble and reserved conversations.
"They were waiting for Anderson's father to die," Wahid said to Gu Hanhan secretly, "and the lawyers would read the will after that and determine the next chairman of the consortium." Of course, a will doesn't determine a thing, and although Anderson is theoretically the first heir, there are many trade-offs that will ultimately be the next master of the Navia family. ”
Wahid pointed to a few people and told Gu Hanhan: "They all have a very high succession sequence, and Anderson's cousin Gottlieb, who is not here today. Under the current special shape of Shaxing, not being present is an advantage. If you and His Excellency Anthony are able to lend a helping hand generously, Anderson's odds will increase dramatically. ”
"It would make more sense to make sure that Marshal Maximilian is not going to clean you up. Gu Hanhan thought so, and couldn't help but speak.
At half past eleven, long before the dinner was over, Navia returned early. He returned from the banquet hall of the town hall to the large living room of his home, and staggered in from the steps of the doorway. His expression was dazed, his eyes were frightened, and the top of his waxed head was crumpled into a mess. The bright light of the large crystal chandelier in the living room shone on his face, looking particularly pale and desperate. Everyone stopped talking, turned their heads to look at Nevia, their throats twitching, but they couldn't say a word, and the hall was instantly plunged into an eerie, creepy silence of fear.
"What's going on, Maximilian is going to slaughter his whole family or is he going to rob his family's money?" Gu Hanhan asked Rossi in a low voice who came back with Navia.
"Not really," replied Rossi, glancing at Anthony and bowing his head, "Lord Maximilian himself has come to the dinner today, and has made a formal foot kiss, and has accepted the Anfin family of Dongdan as his vassals, allowing them to be his own attendants. This means that the Anfen family will become the spokesperson for his interests in Dongdan. ”
"Anfengrass-Valentina-Anfen, a guy who looks like he's depressed and a little neurotic?" asked Gu Hanhan in disbelief.
Rosie thought about it, the description of depression and neuroticism was really very appropriate to the face he saw today, so he nodded, "That's him, do you already know?"
Gu Hanhan turned around and went to see Anthony, that is, he couldn't admire and worship, and said in his heart: Handsome guy, whether you are engaged in sex/industry or being a superpower bull, you are all talented, the most suitable job for you is the XX hexagram on the street!
The author has something to say: It's not a human thing to write when I'm sick, and I've been having a fever for the past two days, so I'm going to ask for leave......
