Locks, who returned to the Imperial Capital Star, did not rush to give the cosmic stone Jinxian to His Majesty the King, but first used the only money he had left to settle all the crew.

Since the decline of the Minks family, the family has been attacked by those nobles who are usually not used to seeing the Minks family too strong. In particular, some families who had festivals did some more extreme things, and some members of the Minks family were killed inexplicably, which exacerbated the decline of the Minks family.

In less than a hundred years, the strength of the Minks family, which used to be able to walk sideways in the entire Imperial Capital Star, plummeted. Removed from the families at the highest end of the imperial pyramid, the power was even compressed to the point that even the third-rate families were inferior.

Since that attack, the Mincks family has existed in name only. The entire family is left with only one direct bloodline, Locks, and those collateral children either died in that incident or have long since run away with the family's money.

The once huge Minks family was gone in an instant, leaving only Johns the butler and some of the most heartfelt family guards and servants remained. For those who were unwilling to stay, Locks did not embarrass them, but gave each of them a severance pay. Although they can't share the hardships with their own family, after all, they have been with their own family for many years, and they have to give them some money to live again.

At this time, Locks was in an extremely complicated mood and stood in front of a magnificent complex of magnificent buildings. The land was formerly owned by the Minks family, but was completely destroyed during the attack. Rocks, who survived, had to leave his ancestral home in tears and live a life that was worse than his life.

The land no longer belongs to the Minks family, and the land and the buildings rebuilt on it belong to the Lafat family.

The Lafat family belongs to the same class as the previous Minks family, except that the Lafat family is a new aristocracy that has recently risen. Although the speed of the improvement of the power is beyond the imagination of those old nobles, but for those old nobles, a family that does not have much historical background, even if the family power has reached the point where it is relatively equal to them, will not be taken too seriously by them, let alone communicate with each other.

The Lafat family is very dissatisfied with the pride of those old nobles, although the rise of their own family is very short compared to those old nobles, but they don't even give a little equal status, which is really deceitful.

At this time, the Minks family was the target of repression because they did not succeed in choosing the right prince to compete for the throne, and the prince who was successfully elected as the new king was eager to establish his prestige. So the new king ordered the title of head of the Minks family to be lowered from the grand duke to the duke, so as to establish his prestige and let the major families know that he was not easy to mess with.

Seeing what happened to the Minks family, the head of the Rafat family knew that the opportunity to change his family's current bad state was in front of him. It was during the rise of the Lafat family that there was a lot of friction with the Mincks family. Nesde Lafat, the shrewd and capable contemporary head of the Lafat family, immediately contacted some of the families who were close to his own family to attack the Minks family.

For a time, the Minks family's properties throughout the empire were beaten, smashed, and robbed by unknown thugs. In the face of these sudden vicious events, the Minks family was caught off guard for a while and did not carry out effective measures in time to curb the development of the situation.

At first, it was just a mess and destruction of the Minks family's properties around the world, and the Minks family also thought that it was just some underworld forces that saw that their family had lost power, so they wanted to make some money from their own family in this way.

However, I didn't expect that less than three months later, the people in the family who went out were killed by unknown people one after another. When I finally realized that the situation was extremely serious, it was too late to take countermeasures.

Those big families with the same status as the Minks family saw the embarrassment of the Minks family, and then they started to think carefully.

In this situation, the Mincks family was compressed little by little, until after the attack, the Minks family had basically been removed. Through this incident, the Rafat family showed the old nobles the strength of their family, in order to show that their family is worth associating. The old aristocrats also realized their mistakes, so they all officially accepted the Rafat family, after all, they also got a lot of benefits in the process.

Looking at the gate carved with the wave pattern in front of him, Locks slowly woke up from his memories of the past. Just as Locks was about to turn away, the door in front of him suddenly opened from the inside.

First, a skinny man with a pair of rat eyes stepped out of the threshold, and then a handsome young man stepped out. The man was followed by four powerful guards, who must have been a relatively important figure.

The young and handsome man frowned when he saw two strangers outside the door who were not very well dressed, and when the rat-eyed man saw the movements on his young master's face, he knew that it was time for him to appear. With a dog-legged expression, he flattered the man and said, "Young Master Saius, I'll immediately drive these two guys away who look like they are asking for food." ”

The man known as Saius said impatiently, "Som, hurry up, I still have to hurry to Xiangyue Tower." Amy is still waiting for me to pamper her. ”

Somme replied with a lewd smile, "That's good, Master Saius. ”

"Where did you two come from to ask for food, why don't you hurry up and get away, this is not the place where you can stand." The rat-eyed man Som cursed viciously at Locks and Johns: "My young master Saius has something important to do, so I don't care about you in general, otherwise I would have broken your dog's legs." ”

When he heard that the rat-eyed man Somme was asking for food for the two of them, Locks was angry, and pointed at the head of the rat-eyed man Som and shouted angrily: "What? What did you say? Who's asking for food, you little man who fights with people. ”

"Bastard, you dare to call me a dog." The rat-eyed man Somme jumped up and pointed at Locks and shouted, "Don't be embarrassed, be careful that you don't even know how to die." ”

Locks is not afraid of this, he has gone through so many adventures, and he is afraid of such a villain. "I'll just scold you, what can you do to me."

"You ......" the rat-eyed man Som was momentarily speechless, "Do you know what kind of place this is?" I don't think you know the way, so I'll explain it to you. This is the residence of the Lafat family, a powerful force that even the old aristocracy recognizes. Now that you know that Lu Dao is afraid, why don't you quickly kowtow to me and apologize. ”

Johns couldn't stand it anymore, so he mediated: "You dissipate your anger, my young master didn't mean to scold you." My young master has just finished a very long and dangerous expedition, and he has just returned to the emperor not long ago, and his state has not yet adjusted. ”

"Oh, I see." The rat-eyed man Som squinted and said, "Forget it today, if you let me see you next time, don't blame me for being unkind." Okay, let's get out of here. ”

"You ......" Johns pulled Locke, who wanted to curse again, he didn't want things to go in a serious direction.

Saius watched the farce in front of him play out and end, and he didn't interfere in the whole process. Although I am anxious to go to the Xiangyue Building, Ai Meimei is so affectionate, but it is not bad to watch a farce.

Just as he was about to stroll forward, Saius suddenly paused, and he frowned and said in deep thought, "How do I think those two have seen them somewhere?" ”

The rat-eyed man Somme was puzzled, "No, why don't I have an image?" ”

"Ah, yes." Saius was suddenly startled: "Thorm, no wonder I think the two of them have seen it somewhere, it turns out that they are from the Minks family." ”

"The Minks family, isn't that already extinct?" Som wondered.

"Nope." Saius explained: "Back then, a direct lineage of the Minks family named Locks was specially left behind, just to let him look helpless to watch his family being destroyed. ”

"Oh, I see."

Returning to his temporary residence, Johns hurried through the best connections left over from the Minks family's heyday. The most important thing now is to see the king before you can think of anything else.

In order to meet the king, Johns spent almost all the money on hand to open up the relationship, after all, so many years have passed, and the previous relationship was not very good.

When the matter was done, Johns returned to his room, where he could only wait quietly for news.

Time passed day by day, but there was still no news. Just when Johns couldn't sit still, there was a message on his communicator requesting communication. Turn on the communicator, and the person on it is the person you are waiting for. ”

"Johns, it's done. Your Majesty the King wants to see you, and someone will come to pick you up later, so don't go away. The middle-aged man in the communicator said.

"Thank you, Lord Drutyid." Johns couldn't be happier.

"It's nothing, I'm just working with people for money and eliminating disasters for others." Druteide ended the correspondence without waiting for Johns to reply.

Three hours later, a palace guard came to pick up Locks and take them to the palace.

Locks, who was sitting in the car in which the palace guards were riding, was very nervous at this time. After all, this time he is facing His Majesty the King, not an ordinary person.

Soon the two of them came to the front of the palace, got out of the car and followed the palace guard to the palace gate.

"Stop, what are these two people?" The guard standing guard in front of the door stopped them and said.

"They are the king's majesty to see." The guard, who had come with the two of them, replied.

"Oh, I see, let's go inside." The guard standing guard responded.

After entering the gate, the group passed through several corridors, a large hall, and three gardens, and finally came to the main hall of the king's office. The guards motioned for the two to wait for a while, and then reported to the guards in front of the palace: "The person you want to see has been brought." ”

The guard glanced at the two of them, and immediately turned and entered the main hall.

It wasn't long before he came out and said to Locks and Johns, "You can go in, Your Majesty is waiting for you." ”

Locks and Johns glanced at each other, and then Maibu walked towards the main hall. After entering the main hall, I immediately saw a middle-aged man with a dignified face sitting behind a desk and handling official business, this is Fiat Tonod, the current king of the Tonord Empire.
