Chapter 2 The Forces Behind It?
After a night of lingering, Catherine and Chen Chen came downstairs, the Duke of York was already sitting in the living room waiting for them, Catherine seemed a little nervous, although foreign people are more open to sex, but after all, it is in their own home and their grandfather has been very strict with him since he was a child, so Catherine is a little afraid.
Of course, Chen Chen saw Catherine's nervousness, he held her hand and said, "Don't worry, with me, I will solve all your troubles." β
Chen Chen's comfort made Catherine feel at ease, in the previous twenty years or so, there was no one who could comfort her, her grandfather left her strict, and her aunt left her spoiled, she always hid alone when she was sad and secretly sad, which also developed Catherine's strong character and never weakened in front of others.
Catherine looked at the man next to her, she actually had the urge to marry him, Chen Chen felt Catherine's gaze, and smiled at her, it was this smile that made Catherine's heart like a deer, she never thought that she would be as attracted to someone as an ordinary girl, she thought that she would become a strong countess, just like her aunt.
The two came to the drawing-room, where the Duke of York was sitting drinking tea, and when he saw the two of them come in, he said, "Get up, young people can't snooze, come and have morning tea, it's a good morning today." β
Catherine was reluctantly pulled by Chen Chen to sit down, Chen Chen said to the Duke of York, who was eating breakfast: "Lord Duke, thank you very much for your hospitality, I don't know how you talked to those nobles yesterday?" β
The Duke of York glanced at Chen Chen and said, "What's the matter, you soaked my granddaughter, and you didn't even want to shout grandpa?" β
Catherine was nervous and didn't know what to do. Now I see that my grandfather can still joke, and I feel very uncomfortable for a while. Because in her impression, although the grandfather was very painful for her. But he is also a very strict person, and it should be said that most of the old nobles are very strict and old-fashioned people.
Of course, this situation has improved after she grows up, but that is because she is already an adult, and the Duke of York thinks that since the child is an adult, there should not be too many constraints, so it was not until Catherine became an adult that she gradually had the warmth of her relatives, but the impression of the Duke of York's strict sΓΉ had long been deeply rooted in Catherine's heart.
Today's Duke of York is like a different person, first joking with Chen Chen, and then looking at Catherine the same, with a heart-to-heart, relieved, and lost look in his eyes.
Care, of course, is to care for the child gradually, afraid that she will be hurt. And the relief is more about Chen Chen's satisfaction, as for the loss, it is very simple because the roses that he has carefully cultivated for many years are now going to be picked up by that hateful boy, no, no, they have been picked.
Catherine understood a lot at that moment, her eyes gradually moistened, and then she broke free of Chen Chen's hand and ran out, Chen Chen was just about to get up and chase after her. The Duke of York said to him: "Chen Chen, don't chase her, she needs to calm down now, let's talk about something else first." β
Chen Chen sat down and said, "If you have anything, just say it." β
"In that case, I'll get straight to the point. What do you want to do, or what the forces behind you want to do. The Duke of York voiced his doubts.
Yes, the forces behind Chen Chen, the Duke of York thought that there was a huge force behind Chen Chen. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to do that much, especially with the last soldiers who appeared last night. It is definitely a force that is even more powerful than the American Seal and the Russian Alpha, so he wants to ask Chen Chen's purpose clearly. Or the purpose of the forces behind Chen Chen.
"Well, since you have seen it, then I'll say it directly, behind me is my sect, do you understand the meaning of the sect?" Chen Chen felt that he should make up a big lie, because sometimes no one believes the truth, and his true situation really can't be known to others.
"Zongmen? I understand that it's probably similar to a sect, and it's a place for people to learn their skills, right? The Duke of York said what he understood.
"That's right, you can understand it this way, in fact, the strength I show now comes from my sect, of course, this is also because I am the heir of the sect, so I want to develop my own sect this time, and I need to make achievements, because I am not the only heir." Does one lie need 10,000 lies to make up for it?
"I think I probably know, you need to inherit your sect, but now you are not the only one who can inherit, so you are released by the sect, and then give you resources, let you develop, and after a period of time, look at your respective development, and take the inheritance sect with the best development, is this the case?" Without waiting for Chen Chen to continue to explain, the Duke of York said his idea of framing.
"Oh my God, it's a shame that you don't write a novel, old duke, so that I don't have to make up stories." Of course, this was Chen Chen's inner thoughts.
"You're very right, so I chose England, and my opponents don't know where they went, and these things I'm making now are actually all given to me by my master before I came out."
"Including those 3,000 troops?" The Duke of York asked.
"Well, of course, otherwise I would have had time to train so many soldiers?" Chen Chen replied.
"So after you finish this trial, what will you do with the power you have developed? And where your sect is, how long is your trial cycle? Old York felt the need to know a little more.
"Actually, if I win, I will move the sect here, and if I fail, this will also become my retirement place, and the power I have developed will not be taken away, as for the cycle, I don't know." Chen Chen explained to the Duke of York.
"That's good, so your heir battle won't be life-threatening." The Duke of York asked, as if relieved.
"Of course, why do you ask?" Chen Chen asked with a puzzled face.
"Young man, you are too young, for the sake of power and money, there are too many people who don't care about a qiΔ, the battle for the heir I have experienced is much crazier than you think, there are clouds and waves everywhere that make people uneasy, listen to my advice, the power develops your power, otherwise you can't even keep the last retirement place." The Duke of York said with a little emotion.
"So you're supporting my development in the UK." Of course, Chen Chen knew that the Duke of York couldn't stop him, but someone was better than no one to help.
"Nonsense, my granddaughter is messing with you, what if you say I don't support you, that girl is clearly dead set on you, I tell you to be nice to her, I can allow you to have other women, because I am also a man who knows how much men can't withstand temptation in this regard, after all, a young and golden man like you, many girls pounce up, but I hope you can put Catherine first, don't make her sad."
After the Duke of York said this, he seemed to be several years old, his body was already about to collapse, if it weren't for the royal family and his granddaughter, he might have died a long time ago, and now his granddaughter has her own home, and he is a lot more relaxed when he puts down a big stone in his heart, but he seems to have lost something.
Chen Chen saw this and said, "Master! Grandpa, I know I'll take care of Catherine, but please take care, I still need your help. β
"Oh, what do you need me to help me say, as long as I'm alive, I'll help you to the end! Hahahaha. After hearing Chen Chen call himself grandfather, he didn't know why the Duke of York was happy, and he was more and more pleasing to the eye when he looked at Chen Chen.
"Well, I think so, I want to ask you to be the director of my martial arts hall, with your reputation, I think it will definitely attract a lot of people to sign up in the UK, and your being the curator also makes some Xiaoxiao who wants to make up his mind dare not act rashly." Chen Chen said his idea, in fact, it was completely a whim, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was feasible.
"Hehe, you, you, didn't expect your kid to be very slippery, please let me be the curator, so that no nobles in the UK dare to trouble your martial arts hall, and with the signboard of the royal family, it will be much more convenient to recruit students or deal with government departments." After taking a sip of tea, the Duke of York paused before continuing.
"And even if someone wants to make an idea, they can only come from the martial arts hall itself, any ghost tricks will not happen in the case of me, and the royal family's coveting of you will be eliminated, the idea is good, when will it open to me, I will be the director of this museum, as long as I am alive for a day, I will support you and Catherine." The Duke of York stood up and walked to the phone.
"It's great if you say yes." Chen Chen smiled happily and shirked another responsibility.
"I'll call some old friends first, I need to find you some help, and the wine you brought is a good connection." The Duke of York said and dialed the phone.
"Hey, is it Bart? Oh, it's not a big deal, but I got a good barrel of wine, of course the wine is to be shared with friends, yes, let's get together tonight, the old bones haven't moved for a long time, they will rust, okay I'm going to inform other people, remember to come over in the evening. β
"Knight Connor, is your leg better? Oh no, no, I'm not saying you're lame, I know you're strong, listen as I invite you to drink, remember to be here tonight, if you're late, the wine won't be your share. β
"Hey. Neville ...... "The Duke of York made a dozen phone calls in a row, inviting them to come to his house for a meeting.
When he finished the call, he said: "This is my network, they are elites from all walks of life, they have more power than you can imagine, this is the only child I can do for you, the rest is up to you." β
"Don't worry, I won't let you down, and after you taste the red wine, you will know that it is not an ordinary red wine, I suggested that you better not take it out, I will go to Catherine, you can rest." Then Chen Chen ran away.
The Duke of York sat there and thought for a moment and said to the butler behind the door, "Leave a barrel of wine brought by Chen Chen here, and move the rest to the secret room, and no one is allowed to approach without my order." β
There was no answer outside the door, only the sound of hurried footsteps. (To be continued......)
