Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Love of Wealth
Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Love of Wealth
Seeing the subtleties and knowing the autumn, the situation seems to have changed again, developing in a more uncontrollable direction.
These few members of the Renault family are powerful and powerful, and they know that they are not easy to mess with just by looking at the posture, but they also have a strong sense of justice, and they regard themselves as the messengers of justice sent to the world by heaven anytime and anywhere, and always look at the people around them with a critical eye, with a high nose, and look down on the typical high-class nobles of ordinary people.
If that's all it takes, can't we afford to provoke and hide?
What's worse is that the young people in them are very arrogant and feel extremely good about themselves, especially Miss Sophie, relying on her own superior conditions and noble blood, she is used to being arrogant, she can't listen to different opinions at all, and she always takes things for granted, and it is extremely difficult to resolve disputes through normal communication. The skirmish with Dawn on the Visigothic gate that day was the best example, if it weren't for the other party's elder leader Johnson Renault to restrain him, and he himself would not have been too tough, the two sides might have really done it on the spot.
This person, just like the objective reality described by the barrel effect, even if he has more other advantages, he is often buried by the fatal shortcoming, just like the noble background of their Renault family, strong strength and other advantages, the many advantages formed are all completely offset by the shortcomings of "arrogance and arrogance" in the back, maybe in most cases the overall will become negative.
Once the strong man of this style is deeply involved in the conflict between himself and the Stipild family, it will be more or less troublesome.
For a while, Normer had a lot of thoughts and a lot of emotion.
"There's nothing to worry about, let's go have breakfast first. ”
Watching the iron rider go away, Plitander's magnetic baritone gave timely advice.
As soon as she heard the old butler say this, Chenxi felt that her stomach was already rumbling, and she was so hungry that she couldn't stand it anymore, and shouted to complete the first task of filling her stomach first. Of course, the girl also saw Miss Sophie and her party in armor, and she didn't take it too seriously, she didn't care where Sophie's family came from, how hard the background was, how strong the friends were, and dared to join the hostile camp without reason.
Normer thought about it, and now it was pointless to worry about whether that group of strong men had been invited by Stipild to help with the boxing. It is not surprising that she is disturbed to soothe the hungry foodie Miss Dawn, and annoys her to kill the city lord's mansion directly, so that the "terrifying Ivan" can see what real horror is.
Half an hour later, in the elegant seat on the second floor of the "Pink Restaurant", Chenxi touched her round little belly and exhaled a long breath comfortably, "I finally had a full meal." She exclaimed.
It is worthy of the breakfast shop recommended by the old housekeeper, the time-honored brand, the store is not big, the two-story building, cleaned up neatly and cleanly, the key is that the production is guaranteed, every breakfast is quite standard, and the girl eats that is called a heartbeat.
"Hey, hey, what do you mean, make it clear! It's hard for me to do my best to cook for you, isn't it so serious?" said Normer, tapping the girl's head.
Chenxi hurriedly covered her head, pretended to be in pain, pursed her lips and explained: "Brother deliberately found fault! I know what people mean! After going out for so long, it is the first time that we can sit down comfortably and eat a peaceful meal of ordinary people easily." ”
Normer had no choice but to throw in the towel.
The girl was right, since they went out on this long trip, they either slept in the open on the wasteland, or hid in the cave to eat barbecue, and even after finally eating a roasted wild boar and went to sleep, they were disturbed by the evil guests led by the second young master Stipild, and finally had to sleep in the open space in the forest again;
When I entered the city, I wanted to take a good rest and recuperate, take a shower and have a full meal, and was ambushed and besieged by the eldest young master Stipild, so I first rushed to break through the city, and then returned to the field again to fight guerrillas and eat dry food.
After thinking about it carefully, it was all the so-called Stipild family who tossed for a long time!
Thinking about this clearly, not to mention that Aunt Chenxi was very unhappy, even Normer felt that if he didn't repair the city lord's family, he would be too sorry for himself.
This girl was complaining about the troublesome Stipild City Lord's family, and the shopkeeper was amazed at the combat effectiveness of the three of them on the dining table, stacks and stacks on the table, all of which were empty plates of food left over from the food they had eliminated, especially the petite and graceful girl, whose appetite was simply appalling, not counting anything else, she ate a full five boxes of steamed buns alone, I really don't know how her slender body could hold so much food!
Looking at the old man beside her, in fact, he is not far behind, he looks tall and thin, he eats very elegantly, but the speed is amazing, he swallows a bowl of tofu brain in the blink of an eye, and then he has already eliminated a plate of rice rolls.
The only one of the three who ate roughly the same as his body type was the tall and sturdy young man, of course, he was not far behind when he ate, what porridge, noodles, and dim sum, those who came did not refuse, and they all ate it.
With the concerted efforts of the three of them, who seemed to be reincarnated as a starving ghost, almost the entire breakfast prepared by the small shop was swept away, and for the first time in their lives, it was sold out early, and it was necessary to hang up the closing sign in advance.
Looking at the three people who were full of food and drink, and looked satisfied, the store sighed that if this gluttonous type of customers came a few more times a day, built an extra house by themselves, and even married a concubine, their wish would probably be realized in their lifetime...... Right?
Back at the hotel where the luggage and mounts were placed, for the sake of the heavy reward from the dawn, the luggage of the three had already been placed in their respective rooms, and even the mounts and pack horses were fed regularly, and washed cleanly, so that there was no danger of poor care.
After completing the important bathing matters, listening to the steady and soothing breathing of the morning light, Normer sat quietly on the edge of the bed, and began to recall the bits and pieces of the confrontation with Grand Commander Ivan, summing up the experience and lessons.
The main line of the story returns to the castle lord's mansion.
Alder Stipild sat on the ornately decorated throne, his eyes were sunken, his eyes were blank, his body had been hollowed out by wine almost completely, and the sudden series of heavy blows made him grow old in just a few days, and the pride of the Stipild family, who inherited all his hopes, was severely damaged in the ambush that he thought he had captured, and he used his strength to destroy the sword's right hand and arm, not to mention, and he was blind in one eye, and he suffered a great loss of qi and blood, so it can be said that the future of the martial arts came to an abrupt end.
Not far from him, Johnson Renault, who sat straight at the head of the guest seat, was very embarrassed, gently tapping the armrest with his index finger, his face full of embarrassment.
As two families that have been friends for generations, Renault and Stipild have a deep relationship, especially in the decades before the other family was involved in party disputes and was not exiled to Manchester City.
And he personally and the old Stipild is an equal generation of friends, due to the distance between the royal capital and Manchester City, it is not easy to communicate, although the personal friendship is general, but the New Year's holidays have not forgotten to give each other the things that should be celebrated, plus when it comes to family friendship, it is half of his own people, looking at the old Stipild who has always straightened his waist and is majestic, he is not uncomfortable is false, but he wants him to agree to the other party's full participation, and even preside over the request to arrest the murderer, but it really makes Johnson Renault hesitate.
On the one hand, Ivan Stipild has a bad reputation, and he has heard of it in the royal capital, and judging from his daily actions, this first heir to the Stipild family is not a good bird. This time, he took his juniors on a special trip to Farway Province on the way to nostalgia, and learned from different channels that the other party's eldest son had always abused and killed women's unique "preferences", which made Johnson Renault, who regarded himself as the guardian of justice, dislike, and wanted him to avenge the scumbag Stipild family and son, and his heart was indescribably awkward and greasy.
On the other hand, after his preliminary understanding of the real battle situation last night, he was able to clean up Ivan Stipild, a dignified sixth-level soldier, and he could also blast Joe Pryde, a sixth-level senior magician, into ice slag.
It's awkward enough to stand up for a personal scumbag, and it's important to deal with such a powerful enemy.
Although he is a great knight at the peak of the eleventh level, the juniors he brought are all the best for a while, and the lowest Sophie also has an eighth-level beginner cultivation, in terms of absolute strength to stabilize the murderer trio, there is no need to worry about the consideration of combat power at all. The problem is that this is a real battle, not a competition between colleagues on the martial arts field, there is no point-to-point option, who can guarantee that these juniors next to him have been protected by the goddess of luck, and can escape in danger, in case of damage to one and a half, but it will be very wronged.
After a long groan, Johnson Reynolds had to reluctantly agree to half of the old Stipild's request, considering the friendship between the two families for several generations.
The reason why he said half was because he could only stay in Manny Fork City for five or six more days on the grounds that he still had official duties, during which time he would naturally do his best to ensure the safety of the city lord's mansion, especially the personal safety of old Stipild and his son. But as the saying goes, there is only a thousand days to be a thief, there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days, and the security problem after this period of time can only be solved by the Stipild family itself.
Of course, just friendship is not enough for Johnson Renogan to take such a big risk, the key is that as soon as they met, before they could talk about the old days, the old city lord ordered someone to carry out several sturdy boxes, saying that the two families have always treated each other with all sincerity, and today the Stipild family suffered this catastrophe, and the Johnson brothers braved the hardships and dangers to bring a group of young people in the family to stand up, which made him deeply moved. There are a few things outside the body in the box, which should be given to the junior and subordinate members of the Renault family, and I hope that the virtuous brother of Johnson will not dislike it. Anyway, there is a saying that "the emperor is not a hungry soldier".
As soon as the box was opened, the jewels suddenly shone brightly, and the entire hall was covered in a layer of golden and brilliant colors. This "small" intention made Johnson's personal friendship with the old city lord rise several levels in an instant, almost from a slightly estranged world friend to a best friend who shares life and death.
As the saying goes, the mouth of a cannibal is short, the hand that takes a person is soft, and the golden Keen is hard currency, and the persuasiveness is not ordinarily strong.
If it weren't for Johnson Renault, who was also from an old aristocratic family, and was currently serving as the deputy commander of the royal capital, he had seen the world and experienced the test, and his ordinary wealth would not make him lose his principles immediately.
