For the Mafia, the value of anything depends only on one criterion, that is, whether it can play a large or small role in the growth of the killer and the assassination of the target.

Under this standard, it is natural that the Black Hand Organization's teaching of the killers under its command will inevitably deviate greatly from the right path of the king.

In terms of comprehensiveness, Xia Fan in the previous life can basically be regarded as a pinnacle that can be reached within the Black Hand Organization, but even so, Xia Fan still often feels that the things he has learned have all kinds of flaws.

Now, in the basement of the aftershocks, there is an excellent opportunity to make up for those defects.

Of course, Xia Fan will not let it go.

Aftershock's collection of books is very miscellaneous, and in the two bookcases full of books, books about alchemy forging and talismans actually only occupy one of the large bookcases.

As for the other bookcase, it is all kinds and all-encompassing.

From the geography of Jiuzhou, which details the customs and customs of the four foreign regions, to the history of the rise and fall of a certain medium-sized family that has disappeared in Kyoto Prefecture, in short, in these books, you can almost see the entire continent unfolding in front of your eyes like a picture scroll, and Xia Fan is full of great interest in this.

I had been reading for more than an hour, and I was halfway through the book in my hand that was about the detailed description of the articulation technique of blacksmithing, when the sound of aftershocks suddenly came from the doorway leading from the first floor to the basement.

"Xia Fan, someone is looking for someone from your Xia family"

People of the Xia family

Xia Fan, who was looking at the contents of the book with relish, was slightly stunned, and various thoughts flashed quickly in his mind, but he closed the book unhurriedly in his hand, and after remembering the number of pages he saw, he got up and put the book back in its original position in the shelf.

Yawning, Xia Fan moved his arms as he walked up the stairs to the first floor.

Aftershocks was standing at the door leading to the basement on the first floor with a constipated expression, and as Xia Fan went up to the first floor, he was very unhappy and stretched out his hand to point to the location of the hall.

Xia Fan looked in the direction that Aftershock was pointing, and saw an old man who looked older than Aftershock, sitting on a seat in the hall with his eyes closed and a proud expression, and beside the old man, there was a middle-aged man with a strong appearance standing on the left and right

Judging from the fluctuations of vitality in the bodies of the three of them, the two middle-aged people both possessed the strength of the Martial Sect of the second and third grades, and the old man was at least a Martial Emperor

Xia Fan suddenly narrowed his eyes, he had just finished taking the entrance test of the Shenwu Academy yesterday, and today the Xia family clan directly sent a Martial Emperor over, I am afraid that it will not be good.

At least from the old man's face, Xia Fan couldn't see any goodwill.

"Hmph, the people of your Xia family are always so annoying, you look like a person in your eyes, and you really treat me as an ordinary porter. I'm too lazy to deal with them, you can deal with it yourself, I'm afraid it's not good to come to you early in the morning. ”

After Yu Zhen snorted, he ignored Xia Fan anymore, turned his head and went directly to the second floor.

Xia Fan smiled bitterly and shook his head, it seems that the reputation of his own clan in Kyoto Prefecture is really not very good

In the previous life, although Xia Fan had come to Kyoto Prefecture to deal with some things, and he also lived in Kyoto Prefecture for a while.

But after all, he is a branch of the family, and the family was wiped out, so Xia Fan did not have any sense of belonging to the Xia family, so even if he had the power that even the Xia family had to face at that time, he never really had any intersection with the Xia family.

So much so that Xia Fan's understanding of the Xia family's own family is basically zero.

Squinting his eyes and thinking about it, Xia Fan raised his feet and walked towards the hall.

It was not until he walked into the hall that the arrogant old man slowly opened his eyes, and after looking Xia Fan up and down, his face showed undisguised disdain.

Stretched out his hand and pointed to a chair beside Xia Fan, the old man didn't seem to bother to say more to Xia Fan, just spit out a word.

"Sit."

The corners of Xia Fan's mouth twitched, and he understood why Aftershocks was so unhappy.

Who's the hell about this?

Rolling his eyes, Xia Fan sat down loosely on the chair, and at the same time lifted Erlang's legs, and then looked up at the ceiling.

After the old man finished speaking, he didn't have any intention of following you, as if he was waiting for Xia Fan to take the initiative to ask.

Perhaps, in his opinion, this is in line with his identity.

But the question is how can Xia Fan eat this set

The hall suddenly fell into an eerie silence, and hearing that Xia Fan didn't answer his words, the old man was immediately a little unhappy.

Looking at Xia Fan's disrespectful look, the anger on the old man's face flashed, he snorted coldly, and couldn't help but take the lead in speaking: "In the end, it is from a separate family, it is really uneducated, even if there is a noble Xia family blood flowing in the body, it can't change the bad habits unique to poor people, it's really disgusting, with people like you, it's really a shame for the family to discredit the Xia family."

Xia Fan finally stopped staring at the ceiling of his head to study, but looked at the old man in front of him, his eyes completely narrowed.

There was no angry look on his face, but he asked with a smile: "It turned out to be from my family, I don't know what to call it."

"Hmph, this is the fifth elder of the family, Xia Fan, a direct descendant of the Qingyang City family, don't you hurry up and see you."

One of the two middle-aged men standing beside the old man also snorted coldly and spoke.

But all the big people or those who think they are big people, whenever they go out, they always have to call and hug each other, no matter how simple they are, they must be followed by at least a few followers.

As if otherwise, they would not be able to reflect the dignity of their status.

The old man in front of him is obviously the same, since he brought two middle-aged people with him, and these two middle-aged people are only in the realm of Martial Sect, then of course their role cannot be the so-called bodyguards.

In the eyes of many big people, many times there are many things that they don't need to do personally, so the entourage that follows them has their due role.

Xia Fan glanced at the middle-aged man, but he didn't have the slightest intention of reasoning, he looked at the old man again, and asked with a smile: "It turned out to be the fifth elder, and he has been looking up for a long time." I don't know why the Fifth Elder came to the Shenwu Academy early in the morning to find me."
