Pal...... Although Lola kept sneering in her heart, she didn't show it anymore.

Since the other party has agreed to her proposal, there is no need for her to quarrel with the other party anymore, in fact, even the gaffe just now is just her loss of control under the anger, and it is not decent.

But isn't it too risky to put your hopes in the hope that she can convince her brother?

"Miss Treville, is there any basis for your confidence?" She asked again hesitantly.

"I have my case, but it's not convenient to tell you." Fran spread her hands, "You just wait for me, are you going to do anything other than wait for me to successfully solve the qualification problem?" ”

The devil is waiting for you.

After hearing her unreliable answer, Lola decides that she needs to work on an alternative plan today, so as not to be caught off guard after her failure.

"Of course I'll wait for you, aren't in fact our interests aligned?" She softened her tone a little, "Miss Treville, since you promised us, please do it as soon as possible, time waits for no one." Plus, I'm sure you're smart enough to be where you're supposed to be. ”

Lola said as she bowed softly to Fran.

In business, since you can't get rid of the other party now, you might as well be false and wronged, which Lola is still very clear about.

"Well, I sincerely hope to be active on that stage with you." Fran saluted her with a smile on her face, then picked up the documents that Lola had prepared for her to review, and slowly walked out of Lola's carriage.

Wait until after she leaves. The smile on Lola's face disappeared immediately, and she walked to the door. Expressionlessly, they watched each other leave.

"Are you alright?" When Fran walked back to the carriage she was in, Mary, who was already very worried, immediately approached.

"Isn't it already clear that I'm okay when I'm back?" Fran replied with a smile. "Alright. Let's pack up too, we'll be there soon. ”

Coming soon? Mary was startled, then put her head out of the window and looked out, and in the shadow of a city, the tall buildings of a city were already looming.

"Yikes! You're right, I'm going to get my luggage ready first, I'm going to get off! ”

Amid the roar of the whistle, the train slowly slowed down and stopped at the suburban train station. The passengers on the bus stepped out of the carriage with their luggage, and Fran and Mary walked to the door of the carriage with their small suitcases.

Someone helped them carry the large luggage. But some of the luggage was so private that they had to deign to pick it up themselves.

As they stepped off the train, Lola slowly stepped off the train, and unlike the two men, her luggage was carried by the maid behind her.

She was followed by a group of stern-faced men in black suits and top hats, who did not talk to each other, but followed Lola with a constant pace of stride, a uniform pace that gave them a solemn aura. So much so that where Lola passed, the bustling crowd actually got out of the way.

Lola just looked up at the road ahead, and she didn't look at the crowd that was consciously scattered next to her, and she didn't pay attention to it at all.

Look at Lola and her men with no one in their eyes. Fran and Mary couldn't help but be secretly frightened, they hadn't seen and felt much when they were in the car, but now they looked at it. If Lola had really gone crazy and wanted to take their lives, she would have been able to do so.

Fortunately, she still has a little sense. The two of them looked at each other uneasily.

When Lola walked up to them. A group of people who were also dressed in formal clothes also walked up to her.

Led by a thin, middle-aged man in a top hat, he took off his hat and saluted Lola, revealing his gray hair, and then bowed down.

"Mademoiselle de Beauvan, welcome to Marseille, I am very honoured to host you."

Lola didn't answer quickly, just looked down at the middle-aged man who hadn't raised his waist yet.

"Are you ready for me?" After a moment, she asked coldly.

As he had known the temper of the eldest lady for a long time, the important agent of the Baron de Beauvan in the south did not show any surprise, and with a sensitivity not fitting his age, he quickly lifted his waist, and then looked at Lola with a flattering smile.

"We've arranged your accommodation, right by the sea, the best villa, you certainly won't mind looking at the sea view to the south......"

"Who asked you this?" Lola frowned slightly, so frightened that the other party bowed down again, "I mean the preparation of the land!" ”

"That...... We're almost ready for that, and if we complete today's deal, most of the required land has already been acquired......," the middle-aged man's voice hesitated slightly, "However, although it's still going well, there are still a few landowners who haven't agreed to our acquisition conditions, so it will affect our progress." But I think this will be solved soon......"

"How fast is it soon?" Lola's brow furrowed even more, "Didn't Dad tell you beforehand?" To deal with problems with unhesitating action, how can you waste your time in such a place? If the most basic things are not done, when will they be completed? ”

"Sorry...... Miss. He sweated more and more, "Because I just switched to this industry, there are some things that are still figuring out." ”

"Is there anything else to fumble around? What is the difference between railways and finance? Isn't it just to be ruthless without hesitation? Lola leaned down slightly and whispered in his ear, "Can our cause be delayed by a few bugs?" Don't you know what to do if they don't agree? Please remember that if you don't meet the scheduled schedule, you will be responsible for all the consequences! ”

"Yes...... Yes," because he was a little panicked, the other party's voice trembled a little, "I will solve it as soon as possible!" ”

"If you know, it's good." Lola got back to her feet and walked to Fran not far away, without looking back. "Two friends. I'd like to invite you to stay in the villa they prepared for me, okay? Anyway, you probably haven't chosen a good place yet, I think the fresh air by the sea should be good for our bodies. It's a big place. It's a bit lonely for me to live alone......"

Fran and Mary looked at each other again, they couldn't figure out what Lola meant. But I knew in my heart that I couldn't easily agree to the other party's request.

"Thank you for your kindness, but we've already telegraphed to inform our relatives and friends here before we came, I think...... I think they should be ...... I'll find a place to stay. Fran smiled and declined the request.

Just as Lola was about to say something, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd in front of her, and after a few seconds of commotion, a group of uniformed soldiers stepped out of the crowd and followed the train towards them.

Although the pace of this group of soldiers was not as neat as the previous group, the oppressive force brought by the uniform made the momentum seem to be a little heavier than the group of people just now.

And then. Under their gaze, Count Henri de Lagerche-Treville, dressed in a naval uniform, and another army officer, walked up to Fran without squinting, and bowed down. "Mademoiselle Treville, it is a pleasure to greet you in person, and I hope that Marseille will leave you with a good and unforgettable memory."

Henri was a distant relative of the Treville family, a descendant of Admiral Louis René Levasso de Lague de Count of Treville. He has been in the Navy all these years, because the mix is not very good, a few years ago. He also went to Paris and had relatives with Charles, who was already emerging at that time. At that time, Charles suffered from too few henchmen, and in line with the principle that one more is better than one less, Charles accepted the refuge of this distant relative. And he also gave him some attention, and it is for this reason that he also became an agent of the Tréville family. Charles also sent a telegram when he sent Fran to the south. Tell this distant relative, who has been in the south for many years, to take care of her.

Charles was very polite, but Henry didn't dare to see himself as a protector. He approached the eldest lady with the humility of the protected, and was so respectful that he did not dare to call herself a relative or an elder.

The tall army officer next to him was Captain Fowl, a battalion commander in the garrison of Marseille.

He became acquainted with Charles at an early age, and although Charles had not been in the army for long, he did not let his power go to waste, and recommended many people he knew to be promoted, and he also became a second lieutenant to a captain, and became an officer with a bright future.

It was for this reason that he was also very grateful to Charles, and when he learned of the telegram Henry had received, he rushed to make a good impression in front of the little princess of the Tréville family, so that the great man could continue to take care of him—although he was now out of the War Office, everyone knew that he was a hot man, and that a few casual words would benefit the captain.

After the arrival of this group of soldiers, the originally arrogant black-clothed people immediately shrank down, because they did not dare to clash with the garrison, they slowly retreated, and as a result, the group of soldiers stood in front of the three women.

This is the man whom the Captain had brought in, and who had come to put on a show for her in order to please Miss Treville. Although this may not seem right, no one will punish him for it - the commander of the local garrison is actually an opponent of Bonaparte in the army, he has been assigned, and no one has taken him seriously since the coup, and the other officers of the higher ranks will not punish him for currying favor with the young lady of the Trévilles.

The officer waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him quickly lined up, and then raised their guns to salute Fran as if they were being reviewed. Seeing this scene, the passengers who had not yet walked out of the train station immediately focused their eyes, and some were still whispering, guessing who would come to Marseille to make such a pomp.

Fran was a little confused for a moment, and didn't react.

"You ...... You're all here to welcome me? She asked Henry, a little surprised.

"Yes, miss." Henry nodded, "They're all here to pay your respects." Of course, your beauty also deserves their tribute. ”

"Miss Treville, your brother has given us a lot of care and is very prestigious in the army." At this time, Captain Fry also saluted her, "I am very glad to have the opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, and repay your brother for his kindness. and pleases you. ”

"Really......" Their compliments made Fran laugh.

Their reception really satisfied the vanity of this young woman.

Most importantly. They Lola off. Out of the corner of her eye, she swept over Lola, and found that the person had turned pale with anger. Therefore, the pride in my heart has increased a little more.

After all, you're just a bunch of people playing tricks in the dark, how can you compare to a family like ours?

Wait, if it's my brother, I'll definitely oppose this kind of pomp and circumstance for no reason, he doesn't like us to act in a high-profile way outside...... At this moment, Fran, who was full of excitement, suddenly flashed this thought in her mind.

In fact, just before leaving Paris, Charles told her to keep it a secret. Don't be out there at the first opportunity

So, her excitement was suddenly cooled down. She was secretly annoyed that her vanity was still a little too great, so that she forgot what her brother had told her.

You're right, we really shouldn't get carried away, these people will come and flatter us when we are in power, and when we lose power, will they still come?

If not, then no matter how grand such a scene is, it is nothing more than a passing cloud.

With that in mind. The excitement in Fran's heart slowly calmed down.

"Thank you both for your reception." She also saluted the two soldiers, "However, I can't afford such a reception, and I still appreciate the enthusiasm of the two." But I think it's better not to be so aggressive...... I don't want the two of you to be talked about with my brother because of me. ”

Her words made the two of them stunned. They are so excited. I wanted to please Miss Treville, but where did I expect her to reply like this?

Just when they don't know what to do. Fran suddenly smiled again, "Still. I really appreciate your hospitality, how could I not like your hospitality? It's just that I don't want to take on the honor that I can't afford...... I will remember your kindness, and I will not make an example. ”

With that, Fran took off her hat, and then her blonde hair fluttered down her head like a waterfall, and she imitated the pose she had seen in the painting, and waved it at the two officers and the large group of soldiers behind them.

The movements of the mighty generals always seemed a little soft and charming after she learned them, but this was not ridiculous, but it made them stunned.

What a beautiful woman, with such a good temper, she really deserves to be from a famous family!

With this in mind, these soldiers stood even more upright.

And seeing Fran's style, Lola next to her was even more annoyed.

Whether in the studio or here, she can always use her disguised side to win everyone's heart. That's what she hates most about Fran, a cunning child who always wants everything.

The hateful thing is that since she was a child, men have eaten her set. And this set, Lola herself doesn't bother to learn.

Sooner or later, you won't be able to act! She cursed viciously in her heart, then turned and walked away with her own people.

"Henry, are we housed?" Looking at Lola's departing back, Fran asked Henry next to her with a light smile.

"It was arranged the day before yesterday, and it is a very famous hotel." Henry immediately replied courteously, "Come with us, we will be there soon." ”

"Thank you." Fran and Mary saluted Henry again, and then followed him out of the platform, boarding the carriage that had been waiting for him, and heading to the hotel where he had been booked.

As soon as she arrived in the room, Fran threw down the small suitcase in her hand, and then walked to the bed side of the bedroom in three steps and lay down loosely.

Although they lived in a very comfortable first-class carriage all the way, after all, it was a long journey, and that kind of fatigue could not be erased, and she just wanted to take a good rest now.

Mary was talking to Henry now, as if her brother had arranged some private business for her to do, although Fran was curious, but never took the initiative to ask, she believed that if it was really necessary, Mary would tell her, and she just needed to rest now.

Just as she closed her eyes slightly, intending to sleep for a while, there was a sudden knock at the door.

"Who?" Fran was awakened and asked as she walked to the door in a daze.

It shouldn't be Mary. What would she say, is it the waitress of the hotel? She thought to herself.

When she opened the door. She noticed that the person opposite was indeed dressed in the uniform of a waiter, but ...... But he was definitely not a waiter.

Because she knew this man.

A great horror shattered her temporary calm in an instant. She grew up and looked at the tall, handsome blonde young man in front of her.

"Is that you?"

"Hurry up, Fran, I've managed to find an opportunity, they'll soon find out I'm a fake, so we don't have a lot of time......" Ezreal urged in a low voice. Then he rushed in and closed the door.

"What's the matter with you?" Fran frowned slightly out of sight, and led him into the room.

"What can I do but deliver you from the sea of suffering?" This young man who hasn't seen each other for a long time. He was looking at her anxiously at the moment, with real concern in his eyes. "You're in the hands of that thug, and I've got to get you out."

"Rescued? How are you going to get me? Fran looked at him in amazement.

If calm enough, Ezreal could detect the alienation in her politeness, and found that she was no longer enthusiastic about herself, but because of his concern for her, he did not notice the anomaly.

"I'm sorry, that guy watched you too closely before, and he never found a good opportunity...... Makes you suffer too much. Ezreal looked at Fran with some sadness and pain. It wasn't until I heard that you were coming to the south alone to relax, that I seized the opportunity and ran over before you...... Oh, I swear to God. I will never let you suffer like this again! ”

"But...... But who can disobey the arrangement of fate? Fran sighed dejectedly, "Sir, what can be done?" We can only obey our elders. ”

"He's just your brother. It's not God, you don't have to obey Him! "I saw that she seemed to have lost her fighting spirit. Ezreal cried out with some anxiety, "Have you forgotten your enthusiasm?" Child. Don't be afraid, keep fighting! ”

"But how else can I fight? I've tried everything......" Fran still looked sad, "I failed, so I have to resign myself to fate, don't get involved, it's dangerous for you." You know, he does everything. ”

"Of course he did, but I'm not afraid of him!" Ezreal raised his voice, "That's right, he is an important person of the state, but because he is an important person of the country, he has more scruples, and his scruples can just become our weapons, really, don't be discouraged!" ”

"Weapons ......" Fran's eyes widened.

"yes, we have weapons." Ezreal nodded firmly, "I inquired, and his secretary and Miss de Beauwang are accompanying you this time, the two of them must have come for some kind of transaction that can't see the light of day, as long as you get such evidence, then you can negotiate terms with that demon!" If he wants fame and power, he has to set you free! Really, the opportunity is already in front of you, don't give up, kid! ”

"Opportunity...... Chance......" Fran muttered to herself, "Did you mean to let me threaten my brother?" ”

"Yes, it's the only way," Ezreal replied at once, "and then you'll be free, and I'll ...... I'm going to help you, I'm going to hold him in my hands, I know people in the press, and he can't keep us out of voice, he can only obey us. ”

"Is that so?" Fran didn't seem convinced.

"That's right!" Ezreal continued to raise her voice, "Trust me, fate is favoring you, I beg you, I beg you to seize this opportunity to free you from the grasp of that tyrant and reclaim your freedom!" ”

The enthusiasm was so contagious that Fran was a little shaken.

"Really? Is that so? ”

The two of them looked at each other.

A moment later, as if she had gained some courage from Ezreal's determined gaze, she muttered.

"Okay, I see. But...... But what do you get out of it? You're risking your life! ”

"I'm just fighting for your freedom and happiness, and I know what risks I take for this." "For me," said Ezreal, "you can treat me as a true brother, and you can thank me and respect me like a sister, and that is the greatest and happiest reward for me...... Can I get such a reward? ”

"Oh...... Oh, my God! Tears welled up in Fran's eyes, "I...... I'm so happy that I lost one brother and got another! ”

"This one will always care for and love you." Ezreal also had tears in his eyes, but he held back. "Okay, I don't have much time, I'll get out of here first, but don't worry, I'm always around here, ready to support you......"

"No, wait a minute!" Just as he was about to leave, Fran stopped him, "I'...... I remembered that my brother had given me some documents before leaving, which he said were related to the Treville family and the de Beauvan family, and that I needed to keep them as a member of the family...... I, I don't understand these things, but I want to ask you, is this useful for your plan? ”

"It works! It's so useful! Ezreal's heart burst into ecstasy, "Give me all these documents, I'll take them back today, make a copy of all the important things, and then I'll return them to you when I come back." Ha, God drove him crazy, we can't afford to waste such an opportunity...... You'll soon be out of that demon's grasp! ”

"Really...... Is it? Great, great......" Tears welled up in the corners of Fran's eyes, as if she hadn't yet accepted this sudden reality, "then you wait a minute, I'll go get those documents to you." ”

Then, she stumbled towards the room next to her suitcase.

The tears were still flowing in the eyes, but the feelings in them had slowly disappeared.

She slowly walked over to the suitcase, then reached inside and reached inside.

Soon, she was back in the bedroom.

"Hurry up and give me the papers, the time is really ......" Ezreal was a little anxious, so Ezreal looked at her figure and urged, and then, his voice quickly cut off.

Because, he could clearly see that what Fran was holding in his hand was not a document.

He opened his mouth wide, but he didn't say anything, he didn't understand the state of affairs at all, and the impact of reality left his mind blank.

Fran didn't say anything, but calmly walked over to the other party.

The pistol she was holding in her hand, a gift from her brother a few years ago, was indeed beautiful like a work of art, but even if it was a work of art, it was still a murder weapon. She went out this time, so she took this gift just in case, but she didn't expect it to come in handy so quickly.

He knew too much to let him speak out, at least not yet.

Her pace is slow in case the other party suddenly flares up.

However, Ezreal did not act otherwise, for his will had been so broken by this scene that he had no way to act.

"You...... You...... Why......? ”

Fran had no intention of talking to him more. There was no hesitation or pity in her blue eyes.

The distance is enough, even with your own marksmanship, you can try not to hit the fatal point.

If you do, you're out of luck.

With this in mind, she pulled the trigger in anger.

"Bang!" (To be continued.) )
