Malta. Valletta

As since 170 BC by the Phoenicians with a powerful civilization ravaged, the vicissitudes of history began, and in the back there are Carthaginians, Romans, etc. have urinated in this place, declared their own territory, in this case, it can be regarded as a place of battle, of course, after modern times, this kind of violent name naturally cannot be used.

So it was installed, "the heart of the Mediterranean", "the countryside of Europe", these more seem to be LOW explosions.

And many ancient aristocrats have long been pressed to such remote places, the fertile land of Europe, there are more suitable masters for him, of course, now they are not called nobles, but capitalists!

The Gerald family is among them, and they have been "exiled" here for more than three hundred years.

Francis walked into the manor with a lot of heart, he breathed a sigh of relief, the pain on his face, made him smile helplessly, he understands a truth at this age, if he can't retaliate, just shut up and pretend to be a grandson, the beating of society is full of drama, but it will never happen to the weak, he only hopes now, there can be the right choice in the family.

Walking on the cobblestone road of the manor, there were servants who repaired the greenery to greet him, and there were also familiar juniors who shouted respectfully.

He smiled and nodded in response, and walked towards the living room of the manor, where only about a dozen people lived in the direct family, but there were more than sixty servants, and the pomp and circumstance of the nobility seemed to Francis to be disgusting hypocrisy.

The hall of the manor, which was already full of people, heard footsteps, and looked up at the same time, and when he saw Francis, he could clearly sense that these people had different expressions, complex and wary.

This made Francis smile helplessly in his heart, yes, compared to the people sitting here, he is a side child, but for nobles, upside down things often happen, so these people look at themselves like this, they are afraid that they will one day become the master here, right? In Francis's opinion, this is ridiculous, the family only earned 20 million dollars a year last year...

In Europe, this is not as good as a few supermarket owners.

Sometimes, it's really tiring, but it's the current patriarch of the Gerald family, Boris. Jefferson. Gerald treats him well, he is very gentle and relatively knowledgeable, but at the same time his shortcomings are obvious, he dotes on his family too much.

Every year, more than $7 million is squandered by the family!

This is one-third of the annual income, allowing the family to buy luxury cars, yachts, etc., which has made other side families complain for a long time.

If this continues, the Gerald family will disappear like other nobles.

"Francis, you're back? How, did the Asian agree? Boris got up from the couch and asked expectantly, and Francis shook his head, "You've been disappointed." ”

Boris suddenly had a breath that seemed to be stuck in his chest, he didn't stand firm under his feet, and he stumbled a little, so frightened that the others hurriedly stood up and helped him to sit down, he was already a little sick with his heart, if this anger passed, Francis would really be pulled to light the sky lantern.

After a while, Boris was much better, and asked anxiously, "Then what does he ask for?" ”

The immediate family members around him are also in a hurry, which is related to the use of their hands.

The Gerald family has been supported by killer organizations like the Cross Grass, and the nobility of Europe is notoriously "chaotic!" "Everything is messy, maybe in the future, you can only feel the glory of the family in books or the empty title.

Francis lost his mind for a moment, but quickly came back to his senses and repeated Tang Dao's request.

"Father! It's a provocation, a provocation to the Gerald family. Boris didn't speak, and the eldest son next to him jumped up, but the heir in his thirties could not see a trace of stability, who in Western Europe did not know that the eldest son of the Gerard family was famous for "rubbish!" ”。

When he was engaged to the daughter of another aristocratic family, he also hooked up with one of the guests, and the two had sex in the toilet, and it happened that all this was filmed by the guest's boyfriend with a camera, and all of a sudden, it was on fire, and the marriage was naturally blown, and then, Boris was just angry, but there was nothing to be done, if this was not counted, and he once got drunk and attacked a pregnant woman on the street, for no reason, causing the other party to have a miscarriage, but it was done with money.

Francis alone wiped the other party's butt several times.

also understands what the other party is, he speaks, and he doesn't speak.

"Moreover, we can let the people of the Cross Grass kill him, and if he dies, it will all be settled." The second son next to him saw that his eldest brother was inflamed, and he was not to be outdone, his expression was fierce, and he tried to make a hideous appearance, but this expression, in Francis's opinion, was like a child with a mask, trying to scare people, but he didn't know who he was trying to scare, it turned out to be the most terrifying.

Boris didn't want to speak at this time, waved his two sons to sit down, rubbed his swollen temples, looked at Francis and said, "What do you think?" ”

The eldest son and the second son looked at each other, Francis's scalp was swollen, and he hesitated, but decided to put forward his opinion, "I think I should agree to his request." ”

"Idiot, do you know what you're talking about? Francis!" The eldest son jumped up and scolded.

Let a man in his thirties, younger than his own generation, scold, Francis's shame in his heart is deeper than the slap given to him by Tang Dao, and Boris waited for the other party to finish scolding before he said softly, "Enough, sit down!" ”

This partiality filled Francis with despair for the family, and he didn't want to stay here for long, so he said, "Count Boris, I want to go and rest first." ”

Boris likes to be called that, and he always brings comfort.

"Go ahead." Boris waved his hand, Francis bowed slightly, smiled at the eldest son and the others, turned to leave, walked out of the living room, only to feel that the oppressive atmosphere eased a little, walking on the path, when he was thinking, a wave of soil just fell at his feet and threw on his leather shoes.

"I'm sorry, I'm very sorry, Mr. Francis." The maid who was working hurriedly ran over and said.

Francis waved his hand, "It's fine. He looked at the big hole that had been dug in the distance and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

The servant was relieved to see that he was not angry, and when he heard his inquiry, he hurriedly explained, "The green roots of the manor are dead and have withered, and it will be dangerous to continue like this, so we must dig up this old root and replace it with a new one." ”

"If the root is broken, will it die?"

"Of course, sooner or later, I'm going to die." The servant nodded.

Francis said that he understood, smiled slightly, dusted off the dirt on his shoes, and walked slowly towards the outside of the manor, and when he reached the door, he stopped, turned around and looked at the Gerald family's manor, as if saying to himself, "It's rotten to the bones, but the tree can die, and this pit can't be empty." ”

Boris is not fit to be a parent.

Francis walked into the parked car outside, he was going to find some partners, of course, it might be better if it was a strong external force, he would not allow the Gerald family to sink like this.

Who to look for?

How about that man?

Although he only slapped himself, if he can take charge of the Gerald family, what is a slap?

Dignity is never worth anything.
