"Huh, what?" As soon as he heard Xiao Feixu say this, Duke Slotok was taken aback!

"The pirates actually took over the restoration of our Heart of the Sea? Are they capable of this?" Duke Slotok's surprised expression seemed to Xiao Feisu to be really outdated!

"Lord Duke, don't be so old-fashioned, okay? Don't you look at what time it is?" Lady Selena saw that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly came out to reconcile and continued: "Pirates are also people, and there are good people and bad people among them, right? Besides, now Li Xiaoqiang is the leader among the pirates, who dares to disobey him when he speaks? I believe that no one will do anything in secret!"

Hearing that Mrs. Selena had begun to speak for Li Xiaoqiang, Duke Slotok couldn't say anything more questioning! But after all, the economic pillar industry of the Slotok family was involved with pirates, which was more or less unacceptable to the conservative Duke! He nodded at Li Xiaoqiang with a stiff expression, and symbolically drank half a glass of red wine from his wine glass.

Originally, Li Xiaoqiang's heart was very unhappy, but when he saw Duke Slotok's attitude so perfunctory, he suddenly had an indescribable sour feeling in his heart! He faintly felt that he was an undesirable person in this family! Originally, he thought that saving the Heart of the Ocean would make the Duke more or less change his attitude towards him, but now, ...... Things didn't go as smoothly as I thought at the beginning!

The atmosphere in the whole restaurant became very dull for a while, and after a while, Duke Slotok put down the tableware in his hand, slowly got up and looked around at everyone and said, "I'm done eating! You eat slowly, I'll go first!" Duke Slotok, who was just about to turn around, suddenly interjected and said: "By the way! Tomorrow's family meeting will be held at about nine o'clock in the morning, and everyone will have to participate at that time! Especially Xiao Lun and Li Xiaoqiang, the current heads of Ocean Heart!"

Seeing Duke Slotok walk out of the dining room, then Richard also stood up and walked towards the door and said, "I'm done too! You eat slowly!" Only Xiao Feixu, Selena, Schefman and Li Xiaoqiang were left in the entire restaurant, and the atmosphere at the table became very awkward for a while!

Mrs. Selena shook her head, and showed an apologetic smile at Li Xiaoqiang: "I'm sorry Li Xiaoqiang! Our Duke's temper is like this, it's stinky and hard! He's not targeting you, you must not take it to heart! It is estimated that there have been so many family affairs recently, and he still has a fire in his heart that has not been vented!"

"I know, don't worry, madam, I won't take it to heart!" Li Xiaoqiang nodded, and lowered his head!

"After eating, go back to your room early to rest! You've been tired enough these days, don't you always like to be lazy? I'll give you a vacation today, so that you can have a good rest!" Xiao Feixu looked at Li Xiaoqiang and said.

"Where am I lazy? I've always been conscientious, okay?" Li Xiaoqiang said without raising his head, completely like I don't want to pay attention to you!

"I didn't ...... It's okay! Li Xiaoqiang...... I...... I will stand behind you and support you!" Xie Fuman, who had been bored and only cared about eating, opened his mouth for a rare time! It's just that the slight redness on his face and his voice trembling slightly because of nervousness all revealed his excitement and admiration for Li Xiaoqiang!

"Thank you!" Li Xiaoqiang didn't feel anything about Schefman's opening. It made Xiao Lun and Mrs. Selena stunned, you must know that in this kind of public place, Schefman, who has always been shy and shy, actually said such a thing for the first time! Especially Mrs. Selena, her eyes were full of encouragement and relief when she turned her head to look at this son!

"Now there are at least two people on my side, and my situation is not too bad!Hehe! Although Fairy Xiao's mouth is quite hard, I believe that she will definitely support me in the end!" Thinking of Li Xiaoqiang here, his mind couldn't help but become suddenly brighter!

The magnificent Duke of Slotok's mansion is located at the crossroads of Edinburgh's suburbs! The mansion in the hub location allows every bus and every tourist passing by to see this mansion with a combination of European classical charm and modern architecture! Of course, people passing by here are more envious in their hearts!

Now the open space and parking lot around the Slotok family's mansion are once again full of all kinds of luxury cars, large and small, and even the horizontal avenue of the Slotok mansion has been stuffed to the brim! One morning, Li Xiaoqiang was woken up by the shrill sound of cars outside!

"Damn! What's going on outside? Why is it so noisy?" Li Xiaoqiang, who was in a daze and hadn't fully woken up, rubbed his eyes and climbed to the window to take a look.

"I'm rubbing! It's ...... This is...... What is the situation? It seems that there were not so many people or so many cars at the last family meeting?" When the scene outside came into his eyes, it immediately made him drowsy! Now it was like a big gathering of the underworld, full of bodyguards in black suits, standing around luxury cars!

It is only now that Li Xiaoqiang truly understands what a duke family is!

"It's really worthy of a duke family that has been handed down since the Middle Ages! Although it is now in decline, it is still not to be underestimated!"

Just then, there was a knock on the door!

"What are you doing, big idiot? Haven't you gotten up yet? Hurry up! It's already blown up outside, how can you still sleep? If you're grinding like this, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

"It's coming, it's coming!" As soon as he heard Xiao Feixu's voice, Li Xiaoqiang hurriedly agreed! Today is also a big day for their family anyway, if it is true that Yinzi is late and leaves a bad impression on others, it will be more than worth the loss for him!

Because there were so many people who came this time, many side members were also called back, and the ordinary conference room could no longer meet the needs of so many people! Duke Slotok had no choice but to temporarily move the location of the meeting to a small movie theater inside the mansion! The terrorist attack in the heart of the ocean had made the entire family realize the seriousness of the situation! So even if it was transferred to a relatively spacious movie theater, it still seemed a little crowded with so many people together, and there were also those servants in the Duke's Palace!

"As the supreme leader of the Slotok family, Duke Slotok, I sincerely welcome you to your arrival!!" After everyone had made arrangements, Duke Slotok walked up to the stage and started his opening remarks with the microphone that had already been set up! The crowd, which was originally noisy, suddenly became much quieter when they saw Duke Slotok coming to the stage.

"Our Duke Slotok family has gone through so many years of illustrious history, and the glory of our family has already spread throughout the Great Eagle Empire! Until now, our deeds have been shining for our descendants in the long course of time!" "Looking at the crowd in the audience, Duke Slotok felt like the host of an evening show!

Because of Li Xiaoqiang's grinding, so that now he and Xiao Feixu are just in time for Duke Slotok's speech to begin! Although they sneaked in through the side door very carefully, although they were very careful, their whereabouts were still discovered by many sharp-eyed elders!

"Look at Li Xiaoqiang, them!"

"And Miss Xiao Lun! Why are they here?" Many people who knew Li Xiaoqiang exclaimed one after another! Of course, more people are not very familiar with who these two sensational juniors are, after all, there are too many people who came this time, and even many people from many branches have also come!

Duke Slotok put down the speech in his hand, and looked up at Li Xiaoqiang and Xiao Feisu, with an expressionless face!

"Lord Duke, I have a question for you, I wonder if you can answer me!"

"Excuse me! If I know anything, I'll tell you everything!" said Duke Slotok, looking at the man quietly. "I don't know if you have anything to say about the terrorist attack on our family's Heart of the Ocean a few days ago, Lord Duke? As far as I know, there are many rumors in the outside world that this is our hype!" When this person's question was raised, the surrounding crowd immediately echoed the discussion.

"Yes, what the hell is the Duke attacking?"

"Our family doesn't seem to have provoked the mafia, right? Why do they have to kill us!"

"As the leader of the family, I have an unshirkable responsibility for this matter!" Duke Slotok looked around at the crowd and fell silent!

As Duke Slotok spoke, the chattering crowd spoke quietly, and they were all waiting for the Duke's next explanation!

"The Heart of the Ocean attack has caused us serious damage, which is why you are here for this meeting today!"

"If it weren't for the arrogance of Lord Duke, who annoyed Duke Humington, they wouldn't have joined forces with the mafia to deal with us!

"Presumptuous! The Duke of Slotok is the leader of our Slotok family, what right do you have to point fingers at him? You are guilty of the following crimes! I tell you! Our noble Slotok family lineage has taught us not to fear anyone since the Middle Ages! What can even the Duke of Humington do? Accusing himself can only be a sign of cowardice!" The other elder showed considerable anger at the rudeness of this elder!

"FK! You're just farting! You're so noble, you have the ability to go to Duke Humington and confront him! Do you dare? I don't know how many pounds and taels you have? I warn you not to rush at the big-tailed wolf in front of me!"

"You're looking for death!"

"Shut up! Don't make noise, give me silence! Don't make noise!" Looking at the two elders who were getting more and more noisy, as if they had a tendency to do something, Duke Slotok hurriedly interrupted them sharply!

"Now I want to know how many companies in our family have not lost money, please give me a solid foundation!" Duke Slotok asked with a serious face, looking around the crowd.

"A comprehensive report, let's let a few old fellows give you a detailed explanation of the duke!" said a few elders who were very authoritative in the Slotok family, who were also chairmen of several family business groups.

"Well, then you can talk about it!" said the Duke of Slotok, nodding.

"Lord Duke! We're sorry that the rest is all bad news! Now our family's business is no longer profitable, all of them have fallen into the point of loss! So far, a total of six of our family have declared bankruptcy! And the remaining twenty-seven group enterprises, if there is no capital injection, then we can only declare bankruptcy in order to preserve our last capital!"

An elder wearing a gentleman's hat said to Duke Slotok with a sinister and cunning expression: "Lord Duke, I heard that Heart of the Ocean seems to have recently injected a sum of about $50 million into it, right? Then why do you have the money to help Heart of the Ocean but don't give us any funds for these enterprises? Could it be that the business in our hands is raised by our stepmother, not the business of the Slotok family?"

"Oh, Lord Duke, don't blame us for speaking ugly, but...... But that's the way it is!If there is no capital injection, our conglomerate will soon go bankrupt!You can't just watch the entire family's economic empire end like this!" Another elder also continued to exert pressure on Duke Slotok.

Hearing this, Duke Slotok's face immediately turned extremely blue! Obviously, the blow of these elders was very fatal to him, if the decline of their family was confirmed by the outside media, then as one of the twelve dukes of the Great Eagle Empire, he would lose face to his grandmother's house!
