Although Cross is a side child, because his mother is one of the more famous women in the Romero family, and his father has also shown a certain business talent, so he can live near the family castle. （）

This is also the pain hidden in the depths of many collateral children.

It is a majestic castle, and only direct children and patriarchs are allowed to live in it, and no matter how good the side children are, they can only be allowed to live next to the castle.

Hurrying back to his home, Cross came to the study as soon as possible, and saw his father's familiar figure.

Cross's father is also a beautiful man, but compared to Cross's frivolity, his father Adam is very stable.

It's a pity that Adam in the study is sitting in a wheelchair because a few years ago, he suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage in a deep sleep, although he was rescued and saved his life, but a pair of legs were unconscious, and he was unable to move, so he could only rely on a wheelchair to move.

"Father."

After seeing his father, Kroos's first words were: "How can I make Will's chips into big trouble?" He thought about it all the way.

Because in Kroos's view, Weir's acquisition of these large amounts of gold coins can definitely be called a major bargaining chip to turn the situation around, so that his income this year has greatly improved, and even surpassed himself, so that his hard work may become empty again.

It all boils down to the fact that the damn family stipulates that in the case of the same grades, the direct children will always have priority.

This is what Kroos hates the most, in his opinion, those stupid direct children have no advantages other than better reincarnation skills and the surname of Romero after their surname.

But it's this that makes Kroos, no matter how hard he tries, sometimes feel that it is an insurmountable mountain.

Besides, this kind of thing is not ability at all, and the thing that can be replaced and solved is simply a matter of fighting dad and luck.

"Cross, you're too anxious......"

Compared with Cross's impatience, Adam was much more stable, he glanced at Cross unhappily, slowly raised the coffee cup, took a sip of coffee in an elegant posture, and said slowly: "How many times have I told you, every time there is a big event, do you understand!" ”

"Yes, I know my father." Cross looked humbly teachable, nodded, and to be honest, he really didn't understand this sentence at all.

It is said that this sentence was a sentence that his father Adam, when he was young, when he traveled to Huaxia, heard a sentence, and since then, Adam has taken this sentence as his own motto, and has always taken it out to warn himself and Cross.

However, Cross has never understood the meaning of this sentence, but seeing that his father Adam admires this sentence very much, he has been working hard to study this sentence, but so far, he still seems to understand it.

"Hmm." Adam nodded, sipping his coffee slowly and silently.

Cross suppressed the anxiety in his heart, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and remained silent, and after a long time, he opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

"Well, that's good."

Adam took a deep look at Cross, and after no longer seeing the slightest anxiety in his eyes, he nodded with satisfaction and said slowly: "Cross, what do you think of this matter?" ”

"Father, I thought about it for a while, and I think that these gold coins should become Will's chips and help." Cross raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "As for the big trouble you said, I haven't thought it through. ”

"You are full of gains and losses in your heart, so you will always care about success or failure." Adam spoke, with a bit of a mysterious feeling, "If you forget about gains and losses, then you should think of more." ”

Cross shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Father, you know, I have always had this wish in my heart, I want to become the heir of the family, I want to prove to the Russ of the Romero family, not only the person named Romero in the name is the best candidate for the patriarch, I want to change, break this shackle of the concept......"

His words were filled with deep resentment.

"Alas......" Adam sighed, he had always known what his son was thinking.

To be honest, Adam knew all these things in Cross's mind. From the perspective of the collateral children, the thoughts in Cross's heart are not wrong, indeed, there are too many collateral children who have endured what they think is unfair, but in this world, when has there ever been absolute fairness?

Cross is very good, so good that Adam sometimes wonders why he is so smart, and it is precisely because of this that many collateral children have made it clear that they want to support Crossing because they also clearly understand in their hearts that if they want to obtain a relatively fair environment, then they must have a collateral child, like the person who led the Romero family to glory and glory before, become the patriarch of the family, only in this way, the descendants of the collateral children, to be able to sprout the blessings of the Romero family.

Otherwise, no matter how good you are, in the end, you can only be a member of the family.

In fact, with the continuous reproduction, reproduction, and development of future generations, an outbreak of fierce contradictions within the Romero family today is inevitable.

The focus of this contradiction lies in the uneven and unequal distribution of resources between the children of the collateral line and the children of the direct line.

Take Weir and Cross, for example.

Will has the surname Romero, so after he is born, he has the qualifications and priority to win the title and inherit the patriarch of the family, but the collateral children like Cross are different, they must first show their own value, that is, their brilliant minds, outstanding business talents and abilities, only in this way, can they stand out from the many collateral children and let the family patriarch notice them.

Then, it is step by step development, savings, only when the patriarch of the family feels that none of the direct children can be worthy of the responsibility and lead the Romero family forward, the eyes of the patriarch of the family will fall to the children of the side lineage, and the choice of survival of the fittest.

So Cross was not convinced, why!

Why should you be treated differently like this, you must know that her mother, who also has the surname Romero, but because she is a woman, she is not qualified to compete for the patriarch of the family, and her son, who is also a side child, is becoming more and more distant from the position of the patriarch of the family.

It can be said that the road to becoming a heavyweight member of the family is extremely difficult.

If a direct descendant like Ver is a royal descendant born with a golden soup spoon in his mouth, and he is born with the possibility and qualification to inherit the throne, then a collateral descendant like Cross is a peasant leader who fights the world with his bare hands, not only fighting with the royal son, but also fighting with other peasant leaders.

Every step of the way is extremely difficult and hard, and it is precisely because of this that Cross is unwilling to let Will be in the limelight at this critical moment.

Because Ville came back unharmed, this incident itself has already made Cross very jealous and vigilant, and if he is in the limelight, it will definitely be a fatal blow to Cross.

Cross couldn't just watch something like this happen, so he made up his mind to stop Will.

"Father, I know, you must have a way."

Hearing Adam's sigh, Cross breathed a sigh of relief, and at times, he felt strange. Because he wants to compete for the heir of the family, his father has always supported him.

But sometimes, Cross seems to feel that his father does not seem to support him unreservedly and unconditionally, as he imagined.

It was as if he had been in contradiction all along. Do you want to compete for the position of the heir of the patriarch of the family, but you don't want to make yourself too smooth?

Or something else?

All in all, even Cross couldn't figure out what was really going on in his father's heart.

"Well, Cross, you're right, there is a solution."

Adam sighed, looked at him, and said slowly, "You haven't thought of it for so long?" There seemed to be some regret and happiness in his tone.

"I'm sorry father, I can't think of how to turn Will's gold into trouble." Cross was speechless, if he could really think of it, why did he run back in a hurry, he said patiently, "Please tell me father." ”

"It's actually quite simple."

Adam looked at him and said slowly, "Return to the owner...... Do you understand the meaning of this sentence? ”

"Returning to its rightful owner?"

Cross was stunned, his eyes were full of doubts, he muttered to himself, repeated these four words, and read them for a long time, but he still did not understand the meaning of his father's words.

The property is returned to its original owner...... Do those gold coins have another owner?

Even if there is an owner, it has been so long, it has long since turned into dust, and it is no longer in this world!

Cross couldn't figure out the question mark in his head, and in the end, he could only stare at his father with wide eyes.

"This treasure ship, I just checked the information."

Adam closed his eyes and said slowly: "Its real owner does not belong to a certain person, but to the ...... of a country."
