Ivano leaned his back against the couch, his head tilted, a cigar between his left thumb and forefinger. The promenade outside the window was empty, and at the end of the promenade was a bell tower with a not-so-high window that was ticking in the rain, white walls and red tiles, and the black clouds on the edge of the sky were gradually pressing, and the rain showed signs of subsiding, but there should be a heavy rain at night.

"What else are you doing here? I remember telling you that if I saw you in the Zakokislav family again, I would kill you, you really thought I was joking. Calm and angry, Ivano tapped the armrest of the sofa and stomped his foot on the stall. Taking a puff of his cigarette, Ivano coughed lightly.

Surrounded by a room with smoke, Xiao Nan has been standing not far from Ivano since he entered the room, and Xiao Nan did not change his face in the face of the old man's threat.

"What can you do here, can you bring us a lot of capital to solve the economic turnover we are facing now?"

Xiao Nan shook his head.

"Can you convince Quinn boy to stop and stop the situation from getting worse?"

Xiao Nan shook his head again, "I don't know the Quinn you said. ”

Ivano's brows sank, and his nasal voice intensified and asked, "You have neither the funds nor the funds to convince Quinn, so what are you doing here, what is the use of you coming here, if you really want Alice to do good, you shouldn't come." ”

"Then you're going to let Alice marry someone she doesn't like for the sake of your entire family?" When it came to Alice, Xiao Nan could no longer remain calm, "If you have to do this, I will definitely take Alice away, even if she is not willing to leave the Chekokislav family, I will forcibly take her away." ”

"Huh." Ivano's deep eyes stared straight at Xiao Nan, "You can say such things that you are still a man." If I were going to sacrifice Alice to Lord Quixin, I wouldn't have turned against his servants today, and if it was up to Alice to save our family, I'd rather be a sinner and destroy the family at my own hands, do you understand? ”

Ivano took a deep breath and continued, "Our Chakokislav family does want to rely on the big family of Quinn, and I also had this intention when I made this engagement with Quinn's grandfather, but I have also seen what Quinn's kid has done over the years, and he is indeed not a good choice for fiancé. has a bad record, and his character is also inferior, so I have never mentioned this marriage contract. It would be best if both sides could forget it, but not long ago, they suddenly sent someone to propose marriage, and I knew that this disaster could not be avoided. ”

"There should be many people in the Chaikkislav family besides me who want Alice to marry Quinn, so that we can not only settle the current predicament, but also casually take the Quinn family to the throne, those elders you think I don't know their minds, and Ben Olem and Kessel, the father and son, they are all related to Lord Quinn. I really want Alice to leave the Chekokislav family, you can't help Jack with this, if you can take Alice away•••"

Xiao Nan smiled bitterly, "Alice won't leave, you know this better than I should know." ”

Ivano sighed helplessly, Alice is indeed a good girl, but what should be the dilemma in front of her?

"I can't take Alice away, but I don't give Alice away." Xiao Nan said solemnly.

Ivano pressed his forehead and smiled bitterly, "You are really a scoundrel, it's like gambling without a stake and still trying to win, but it's good that you have this confidence, I didn't like you at first but I found some interesting things in you, such as the belief that you will never compromise, the courage to dare to face it, Jack, can you tell me why this is happening?" ”

Xiao Nan jokingly said, "This may be the charm of personality." ”

"Hahahaha." Ivano burst out laughing.

"Old man, tell me about Lord Kui, what kind of person is this?" Xiao Nan asked.

Ivano thought seriously and said, "Quinn was born into a large family, and he inherited the title of viscount from birth. Speaking of Quinn, you can't help but mention his dog ring, Quinn has been raising dogs since he was a child, and at the age of nine he began planning to build an underground dog ring throughout the city. Now his dog fighting ring has become famous, and it has become the largest business in the underground world to gamble money and have fun, which is also the main source of the Kui Yuan Jue's economy. And when it comes to Quinn, you can't forget a person, Quinn's grandfather, Cardinal Caesar•Quinn, whose status is more noble than the Grand Duke, is the real cornerstone of Quinn's family to be able to stand in country Y for so many years, but Caesar is an old guy who is strict with himself, he will never allow Quinn to mess around like this, he shouldn't know all this. ”

"So, if you can bring this Caesar cardinal out, won't you be able to convince Quinn?" Xiao Nan asked.

"Archbishop Caesar, as the most mysterious existence in the entire country of Y, is busier than the Grand Duke, how can he suddenly find it? Do you know that I made this engagement with Caesar and I have not seen each other again until now, and I heard that he is often not in the country, and I don't know where to go, and it is really difficult to invite him out of the mountains. Otherwise, do you think that this kid Quinn dares to play such a righteous and bright trick? ”

"Heh, this is not for sure, it is possible that this cardinal archbishop is about to appear." Xiao Nan seemed to have confidence, he remembered that there was a special organization in country Y, the Holy Inquisition, which specialized in dealing with all kinds of mysterious and tricky events, and the members of it seemed to be the cardinal archbishop.

In the afternoon of that day, Sheriff Langton, as the servant said, came to the Chekokislav family as promised, and then from the afternoon to the evening, dozens of members of the Chekokislav family, including an elder, were taken away one after another for investigation. Ivano, who was witnessing all this by the window, did not stop it, but asked Xiao Nan to close the window.

That night, a heavy rain came.
