Chapter XXVII: Alexander's Logic
"What's this?" Lin Moyang looked at this thing, it was a black and slimy metal disc, like a handicraft, but it looked very new.
"Hahaha, this is the key to our family's vault, I'll take you to Sailfish Bank later, get some money to squander, it's going to be an auction in a few days, we need to have enough money ready, what if there's something you like?" Carter said enthusiastically. "You're welcome, this is a little bit of the old man's heart. β
"Is Uncle so enthusiastic...... But I also know him, besides, it's useless, what should I do with your family's money?" Lin Moyang panicked, this kind of tyrant's money can not be easily received.
"Brother Moyang, don't say that, my old man gave me a death order, if you don't take some, then I will go back and have no pocket money, how can I chase rabbits?"
"But I don't know my uncle. Lin Moyang said honestly. Old Alexander, he didn't even have a one-sided relationship, and he didn't know why this business wizard in the wizarding world was so concerned about him.
Carter looked at Lin Moyang's appearance, he could only helplessly take out his mobile phone, dial a call, and after a while, he pressed the speakerphone and put the phone on the table.
"Little bastard, why did you call Lao Tzu again, and the money was spent again? How did I give birth to such a loser thing as you? Say, how much more do you want this time?" Carter didn't say a word, and a rugged male voice roared angrily, listening to this tone, it should be Carter's own father. Sure enough, it's still so chic, and the style of speaking is really still the same flavor.
"No, old man, it's His Excellency Lin Moyang who doesn't want to accept money, I can't help it, you can explain it to him. Carter said, throwing the trouble on his own father.
"What? You're bothering me with this bit of bullshit? Your Excellency doesn't take money, are you not making it clear? Damn, you shit, you can't do this thing well, see if I don't smoke you. "The output of the old Alexander's temper explosion in the mobile phone, that is, this scolding is a bit strange, Lin Moyang thought that no one scolded his son for being a bastard, right? If his son is a bastard, then what has become of this old man?
"No, Daddy, what can I do if you refuse to accept this? Do you take a gun at someone and take it? Or beat your Excellency first? Can I beat it?" said Catanunu with a mouthful of mouth, like a scoundrel.
"I don't care what method you use, you can't handle this little thing, you are not a descendant of my Alexander family at all!" Old Alexander moved his mouth and was about to be expelled from the household register.
"No, Dad, pay attention to what you say! I called you because His Excellency Sueyang wants to talk to you personally, and you still have hands-free on, can you always be more serious?" Carter reminded old Alexander of the matter at this time, and it seemed that he was deliberately cheating on his father.
Old Alexander's voice stopped abruptly, and there was a long silence on the side of the phone, and just when Lin Moyang was doubting the question, a magnetic voice suddenly sounded: "Ahem, you little rabbit...... Why didn't the little guy say it in advance, let His Excellency Lin Moyang see the joke, cough cough, this Your Excellency Moyang, please forgive me, just now it was just some radical words used by a middle-aged man when he criticized his son, please don't take it to heart. β
Liliel almost didn't get out of her internal injuries, she almost laughed directly, this voice is really mature and steady, and the words also reveal the graceful demeanor of the owner of the voice, which is like the two people who scolded the street just now.
Lin Moyang squinted his eyes and glared at Carter, or your father and son are like this.
"That, uncle, this is not a big deal, the important thing is that I really can't take this money. Lin Moyang said, what he did couldn't get along with old Alexander's eight poles, why did old Alexander give him money?
"Why don't you take it? You deserve all this money, and I think it's too little. Old Alexander's voice was even more surprised than Lin Moyang's, as if he had heard some fantasy.
"I deserve it?" Lin Moyang was like seeing a ghost, he recalled carefully, he hadn't even seen old Alexander's face, let alone had any employment relationship with him, so where did his so-called "deserved" come from?
Lin Moyang cast an inquiring look at Liliel, and Liliel also shook her head blankly.
"Well, I shouldn't have done anything sleepwalking when I fainted or slept, right?" Lin Moyang confirmed again with anxiety.
"No, I stare at you every time you sleep, except for the few days when you go back to China, I can confirm that you don't have the habit of sleepwalking. Liliel replied in the affirmative.
"Did I hear something strange, I'll clean you up later, that's not the point. When Lin Moyang heard this, he remembered that it was no wonder that every time he sleeped, there was always a pair of eyes looking at his feelings, and it turned out that it was not an illusion at all.
"Well, Uncle Alexander, I've made sure again and again, I really haven't done anything for you that is worth your money, even if I helped you polish your shoes, then I have to have an image, right?"
"Hahaha, Your Excellency is really very similar to Your Excellency Fenglong's personality, it can be said that it is exactly the same. No, no, no, it's not
What is the big deal, let me explain it to you from another angle. Old Alexander laughed, and seemed to be a very cheerful man, who could hear the heroic appearance of this merchant in his youth.
"It's not that I'm giving you money because you've done something for me, it's that you've done something that deserves to be paid, so that's why I'm giving you so much money, do you understand?" said old Alexander, explaining his logic as if he were saying a tongue twister.
"I still don't quite understand what that means. Lin Moyang said honestly, he still didn't understand why he was a useless person, why there would be such a tyrant to give him money.
"Nothing, didn't you save hundreds of innocent people on Tristan Island the other day?" said old Alexander with a smile.
"Yes, yes, but it has nothing to do with this matter, does it? Uncle, do you have relatives on the island?" Lin Moyang thought about it, and could only use this reason to explain.
"Hahaha, no, I don't know anyone on the island. But I am willing to give you a personal sponsorship for this matter. Of course, it can't be considered a reward, I'm just a businessman, and I'm not qualified to reward a hero like you, so you treat this money as a boring businessman, affirmation and sponsorship of a hero's cause, how about it? There is no contract, no commitment, you just need to take the money and use it, if you need it, I can even say nothing about the source of this money, and I will never admit that I gave you money, and I will not let you have that so-called, 'moral baggage'. That's what this sentence says, right?" Old Alexander is very free, this is no longer a sponsorship, it is simply given for nothing, Lin Moyang didn't expect that according to his current posture of sending money, what kind of home he was back then.
"This is too strange...... Lin Moyang said helplessly, there is an old Chinese saying that no business is not treacherous, especially this kind of old and cunning businessman, this kind of person has nothing to do with philanthropists.
"I can understand your concerns, in your opinion, I am a businessman, no business, no traitor, the Chinese said this is a good sentence, in the course of my family, playing with contracts, pitting competitors, I really did not do less." That's why I told you through my son, even if you don't believe me, but I think you can trust my son, right? If one day I threaten you with this money, the money is not given from me, I have no evidence, and you are the agent of Lord Fenglong, you won't mind this kind of thing, your Excellency Fenglong's people don't care about other people's coercion, right? Old Alexander understood Lin Moyang's questioning, and even he had already thought of words and preparations for Lin Moyang.
Lin Moyang is stupid, this old Alexander is really a typical example of a stupid person with a lot of money, from this point of view, he really wants to hand over this money, maybe he is invincible in the business world, so he chose Lin Moyang as a representative, and pit himself so that he can experience the feeling of a handful of hemorrhage?
"Don't doubt it, I'm just a businessman, you should also know, my spell-casting ability is only ninth-rate, I have lived for more than 4o years, and now I can only count a few basic spells, even counting on one hand, which is a little better than the average Muggle, if I wanted to plot against His Excellency Fenglong's agent, my head would have been broken long ago. Old Alexander knew that his behavior was difficult for people to understand, so he kept explaining, trying to dispel Lin Moyang's vigilance.
"I don't doubt your kindness, but you still don't explain why you're so generous. Lin Moyang said that no matter how cautious old Alexander is, as long as there is no point, he can't explain his unreasonable behavior.
"Of course, I'm someone who admires heroes, or I'm a person who wants to be a hero but can't. Old Alexander explained.
"What kind of reason is this?" Lin Moyang is completely blown up, this old thing has no logic at all, and he is still in the second middle school to explode, shouldn't his words only appear in the mouth of the protagonist of that kind of young hot-blooded brainless comics? Why is this business tycoon not only grandiose when he says this kind of thing, but also does not even have a trace of embarrassment in his tone, if this kind of thing is said by Lin Moyang, can he embarrass himself to death?
"You can think of this as a dream that has gone astray, isn't it unexpected?" Old Alexander was very cheerful in the face of doubts, but he was very tolerant of Lin Moyang's skeptical attitude.
"It's unexpected, to be honest, I've lived so big, and I've never walked on the road, and somehow an old tyrant came to stuff me with a sum of money. "If there is such a person, will I still be fooled into this thief ship by Fenglong because I am looking for a job?
"I can tell you about this if you want to know, but ...... Your Excellency, could you please ask my son to recuse himself? I don't want him to hear what is next. Old Alexander said, unexpectedly, this old rich man actually let his son avoid it, not let others avoid it.
"I know, if you have anything to say, then I'll go out first. Carter was also very sensible, he did not question his father's strange behavior or any other emotion, he nodded, stood up and walked out of the room, and took the initiative to close the door.
"Okay, uncle, he's gone, can you talk about it now?" Lin Moyang asked.
"There's no hurry, I want to ask Your Excellency first, you Tris this time
Didn't you see a female knight named Nireen?" said old Alexander.
"How do you know about this kind of thing?" Lin Moyang laughed secretly in his heart, this operation report was originally top-secret information, and the details were only known to a few of them, if he wanted to know about Nilin's past, then Old Alexander either asked Green, or bought off the Pilgrim's intelligence officers, both of which were unbelievable.
"Don't get me wrong, businessmen always have some of their own intelligence channels, I don't mean to buy and resell information, this should be considered a friendly mutual aid, I don't think Lord Galahad would not know that there is an intelligence agent in his organization who deals with me, I can only say that he has judged me not to be a threat, or that this information is enough for him to let me know. Old Alexander lightly brushed aside the details of the matter.
"Then please go ahead, I won't ask about such details. Lin Moyang said, he is not as unfathomable as he seems, at least in fact, Lin Moyang is much weaker than he is in their eyes, since the water is deep this time, then he might as well be a favor, this kind of thing should not be delved into.
"I appreciate your wisdom, you have something in you that my son Carter can't learn in his life, his temperament is too straight, this is up to me, I don't know how much I have been wronged. β
"Go ahead, I wonder why you mentioned Miss Nireen. Lin Moyang said.
Old Alexander pondered for a moment, and he sighed: "I really want to meet this girl, I want to talk to her face to face, her experience is similar to mine, but I am different from this kind of young man, I have chosen a different path." β
Lin Moyang stopped talking, so as not to interrupt the old man's train of thought, at this time the old Alexander was full of wisdom and grace, not like the guy who was arguing with his son before. This doesn't look like it's pretending, maybe this is the true face of the business giant.
"The reason I didn't let Carter know about it was because he always thought that his mother had died, but I never told him the details. His mother didn't die in a simple accident, his mother died in an elaborate conspiracy, which had something to do with the Ministry of Magic. Old Alexander said, his voice trembling a little, and even he could not remain calm when talking about such a thing.
"Miss Nereen and I are both men with a painful past, but Miss Nereen will pour her hopes into Lord Green, and I will pour my hopes into the Council of the Round Table, and of course, you can guess what will happen in the afterlife. β
"Did the Round Table disappoint you too?" said Lin Moyang, so the old man should hate the Round Table Council, but he said that he and Nireen had taken different paths?
"Pretty much, that's true, I had hoped that the Round Table would do justice for me, but it didn't. So I could only regain my family name, return to the wizarding world with the glory that had been submerged, and earn this family business with my own hands. I hated the Round Table very much at first, and I felt that they were just a faΓ§ade, and they were just selling their reputations. Old Alexander said this calmly, his hatred was long gone.
"But after I became a successful businessman, my vision changed. I had been so blinded by hatred that I could not properly evaluate the Round Table Council. Indeed, they did not save me, nor were they able to help me get revenge. But they are indeed doing justice, they are indeed changing this unfair magical world, they are changing the values of wizards little by little, and they are also maintaining justice that was difficult to find in the wizarding world little by little. "So I forgave the Round Table, no, no, not it should be, but I am deeply ashamed of what I have done." What the members of the Round Table have done is heroic enough, but I have denied it because my hatred has not been vindicated. The good deeds they have done, the justice they have done for others, maybe I have not enjoyed it, but some people have enjoyed it, maybe I have suffered misfortune, but there are many more people who have been saved from misfortune because of them. β
"I am a vengeful ghost haunted by hatred, and I use the mentality and mood of a vengeful ghost to wantonly hostile to the heroes. I can't even avenge my wife, but I think the heroes of the Round Table are in vain. Old Alexander said this lightly, but Lin Moyang always had a feeling that this business wizard was actually repentant.
"If there are no heroes in the world, then the world will be worse, heroes cannot save everyone, but heroes can always make fewer people suffer misfortune. The source of my misfortune is not the heroes, but the scum who bring misfortune to others. It's the scum that I want to hate, not the heroes. As a businessman, I can't fight against the Ministry of Magic, but as long as there are more and more heroes in this world, then these scum will eventually be killed by the heroes. So I worship heroes, I respect heroes, and I am willing to give everything I have to a hero, as long as he deserves all this. Alexander smiled, the old man didn't look like a secondary two at all, but a little smarter.
"Whoever holds fire for all shall not freeze to death in the wind and snow. Heroes have contributed to the wizarding world, so the merit is here, my Alexander's wealth, you can take it! This is the reward you deserve, this is the hero's reward!"
