Chapter 64:-for-tat
As soon as Mortai's words came out, Randy and Feng Lingxi were shocked at the same time, but Randy was surprised by Lei Xiu's identity, and Hanbock would actually give him a villa in Qingshuixi!
It's just that neither of these possibilities is what Randy wants to see, which shows that he can no longer ignore Lei Xiu's "threat".
In addition to being surprised by the relationship between Lei Xiu and Han Boke, Feng Lingxi was even more surprised that the other party was actually a freshman of Shenyuan Academy, she was very sure that Lei Xiu was definitely a powerful demon fighter, and he was only a little short of the silver grade, at his age, it would not be an exaggeration to call him a genius, but why was he a student of Shenyuan Academy? That's the Elemental Mage Academy.
Mortai was not surprised at all by the reaction of the two people on the other side, and continued to smile, "Lei Xiu, this is Young Master Randy of the Golden Kite Family, as for this beautiful lady, you should have known her earlier than me." β
After introducing the two parties, Mortai asked Randy, who had a somewhat uncertain face, "Randy, did you bring Princess Xi here to go to the villa of the Golden Kite family?"
Randy pretended to glance at Lei Xiu again inadvertently, and then smiled, "Yes, Princess Xi came all the way from the Tianfeng Ancient Kingdom, and my father was afraid that he would not greet him well, so he wanted to use this villa in Qingshuixi as the princess's living place in the imperial capital, and I followed you all the way, but you didn't see it." After finishing speaking, Randy nodded slightly to Lei Xiu and said, "Lei Xiu, I'm sorry, it was too late last night, and we just met in a hurry, I didn't recognize you just now, I hope you don't be surprised." β
As a direct member of the Golden Kite family, Randy has undergone the top elite education since he was a child, not only in terms of intelligence, but also in terms of emotions, since he knows that the seemingly civilian person in front of him is not as ordinary as it seems, he might as well change his attitude to explore the other party's bottom line, and then decide how to deal with it in the future.
Seeing that Randy actually apologized to himself, Lei Xiu was obviously stunned, but immediately recovered, and replied politely, "Where, Mr. Randy, I didn't recognize you just now, please don't be surprised either." β
"Hahahaha, okay, okay, all know each other, why are they all so polite? β
Mortai's words were inserted just right, and the three of them nodded in agreement almost at the same time, so under Mortai's lead, everyone stepped on the path and walked towards the villa area.
After walking for a while, Feng Lingxi suddenly spoke, "Mr. Lei Xiu, aren't you a demon fighter, why did you go to Shenyuan Academy, isn't the Heaven Breaking Academy more suitable for you?"
Hearing Feng Lingxi's soft and pleasant voice, Lei Xiu's heartbeat seemed to be a few beats faster, and he explained, "This is what my master meant, but I myself want to have a deeper understanding of the nature of power through the study of elemental spells. β
Feng Lingxi frowned and said, "But aren't you afraid of encountering the magic and martial arts cliffs? Your martial arts skills are so skillful, presumably your master is also a master with extraordinary strength, does he have so confidence in you, thinking that you can do something that AltaΓ―s couldn't do a hundred years ago?"
Lei Xiu smiled and said, "Since Master asked me to do this, there must be a reason for him, I plan to study in Shenyuan Academy for a few years first, and if I really can't go on this road, then I will concentrate on cultivating martial arts, anyway, I am still young, and I will lose." β
After finishing speaking, Lei Xiu couldn't help but think of Izzo, and he didn't know where the big head of the Imperial Supervision Bureau was now, and he had come to the imperial capital, would he still meet this mysterious person full of stories?
Feng Lingxi smiled slightly after hearing Lei Xiu's words, and stopped talking, she originally wanted to persuade Lei Xiu to see if she could make him change his mind of double cultivation of law and martial arts, after all, he was also a rare talent, and he also had the bloodline of the ancient kingdom of Tianfeng, it was a pity to be destroyed on the cliff of law and martial arts like this, but it was enough to taste these words, if the other party insisted on not listening, then she had no obligation and mind to continue to persuade.
Randy sneered in his heart next to him, this guy in front of him was so ignorant that he wanted to challenge the magic cliff, he really didn't know how the word death was written, as a direct member of the Golden Kite family, he knew the inside story and rumors far more detailed and clear than ordinary nobles, so he also scoffed at Lei Xiu's ideas even more, which shows that Lei Xiu's master is limited even if he has some strength, otherwise he would not let his apprentice embark on this desperate road.
You must know that the road of the Demon Fighter is long and difficult, and the most critical and fastest progress is the period from youth to youth, and Lei Xiu actually wants to spend this golden time to learn elemental spells, then his future achievements will definitely not be high, even if he is lucky enough to become a Golden Demon Fighter, but the difference in strength between the Golden Demon Fighters is also very large.
Thinking of this, Randy felt a little more contempt for Lei Xiu in his heart.
The four of them watched the scenery of Qingshui Creek while walking, and I have to say that the villa here is so expensive, it is really expensive. The surrounding lush green trees and flowers exude a natural fragrance, the sound of the murmuring of the water is like a pleasant music, and the cool water from time to time is even more refreshing.
Even Feng Lingxi, the princess, praised this place from time to time, and was in a very happy mood.
After a while, Mortai stopped first, smiled and pointed to an elegant villa in front of him, "Okay, we're here." β
Randy looked up and asked in disbelief, "Uncle Moultey, are you mistaken? This is obviously the villa of the Marquis of Jalba." β
Mortai touched his chin with a smile and said, "That's right, Marquis Jalba has sent the title deed here last night, Lord Hanbock knows that Lei Xiu has no place to live in the emperor, so he made a bet with Marquis Jalba, and he won this villa, hahahaha, Princess Xi, Randy, you continue to shop, Lei Xiu and I will go first." β
Nodding a little unnaturally, Randy couldn't recover from the shock in his heart as he watched Mortai and Rexiu leave.
There are so many meanings in Mortai's words, is it really possible that Hanbock would offend Jalba for this kid?
Just when Randy was stunned, Feng Lingxi's voice came from the side, "Lord Hanbock is really bold, he treats a friend's grandson so much, is he so enthusiastic about others?"
Randy had a wry smile on his face, recalling Hanbock's proud look of not taking anyone in his eyes, and shook his head, "No, as far as I know, Grandpa Hanbock has never treated his grandson and granddaughter so well, Princess Xi, you haven't dealt much with Hanbock, I don't know how proud he is, so to speak, if it weren't for his empty-eyed character, the position of the head of the Shenlei Building Headquarters would have been his, hey, I'm really more and more curious about the identity of this Lei Xiu now." β
Although Feng Lingxi's face did not change after hearing this, he remembered it in his heart, and at the same time, he was also a little curious about Lei Xiu's uncontrollable identity.
"It seems that Uncle Qin Mo can check this Lei Xiu, maybe there will really be an unexpected discovery?"
After leaving Feng Lingxi and Randy with Morte, Lei Xiu asked curiously, "Uncle Moultey, why did you hint at Randy's relationship with Grandpa Hanbock many times just now?"
Looking sideways at Lei Xiu, Mortai smiled, "You're very smart, I can hear that I'm hinting at Randy?hehe, trust me, I'll save you a lot of trouble by doing this, I know Randy very well, although he looks a little arrogant, but in fact he is a very cautious and cautious person, he will never trouble you until he fully understands your identity." β
Lei Xiu nodded suddenly, and then sneered, "Even if he comes to trouble me, I may not be afraid of him, the Golden Kite family is not a royal family after all, and the number one wealthy family in the empire is also the Hurricane family and not them!"
Naturally, Mortai didn't know the relationship between Lei Xiu and the Hurricane family, and thought that this was the young man's young and vigorous, so he was a little unconvinced, and he didn't care after smiling, and then turned the topic to the villa and began to tell him about the advantages of this villa.
In Dawn City, at the top of the steps of the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, with long golden hair and a mature and handsome face, Gogatu stood with his hands behind his back and a calm face, as the city lord of Dawn City, the patriarch of the Solomon family, a wealthy empire, there were very few guests worthy of him coming to the gate to greet him.
But the guest who visited today definitely has this identity, remembering his understanding of that person, a trace of doubt rose in Gogatu's heart, with that person's rank and status, even if there is something to ask him for help, it is not rude to send a cronie, what would make him come in person?
Thinking of this, Gogatu couldn't help but have a palpitation in his heart, if he wanted to say that the person he had the most scruples about in the entire Dawn City, it must be this upcoming guest.
At this time, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, and a carriage galloped from not far away, stopping not far from the gate of the city lord's mansion in Gogatu's eyes, and then, a bodyguard-like person jumped out of the carriage first, and respectfully helped an old man with a hunched waist down.
A smile appeared on Gogatu's face, and he greeted him kindly, "Lord Hanbock, why did you think of coming to me today?
Although the words were gentle and polite, Gogatu's body stood on all sides, and there was no movement to descend the steps to greet him.
A smile also appeared on Hanbock's face, and he walked up the steps slowly, until he reached the lower steps in front of Gogatu before stopping, and said with a familiar but not rude smile, "How dare you have Lord Lao City come out to greet you in person, it's really giving my old man face, haha." β
By the time Humberk walked up the steps, Gogatu's heart had settled down, knowing that it would not be a bad thing for this old man with extraordinary status in Dawn City to come to him this time.
You must know that as the lord of the city, he personally went out to greet him, and he had already shown courtesy and respect for Hanbock; after seeing Hanbock, he took the initiative to greet him, expressing his friendly position; and he did not go down the steps, but let Hanbock come up by himself, but in order to show the majesty of his city lord, and by the way, he could see the purpose of the other party coming to him.
If Hanbock doesn't go up the steps, it means that he may be looking for trouble this time, and taking the initiative to go up the steps means that the other party is also coming with good intentions and is willing to respect his identity as the city lord.
Thinking of this, Gogatu affectionately supported Hanbock, led him through the gate, and walked towards the city lord's mansion.
In the living room, fragrant tea was served, and after a few words of greeting, Gogatu went straight to the point, "Lord Hanbock, what is the important matter for you to come to me this time? As long as it is within my ability, I will definitely try my best to help." β
Han Bock nodded and smiled, and after taking a sip of tea, he said slowly, "Thank you, Lord City, I didn't have anything important to do this time, but I haven't seen Lord City Lord and Miss El Lia for a while, so I came to take a look, I hope it didn't disturb your work, has El Lia already returned to the Imperial Capital?" I remember that she likes novelty gadgets, so I brought some small things from the Heavenly Wind Ancient Kingdom to her." β
Gogatu was a little puzzled in his heart, and he couldn't figure out Hanbock's intentions, but he didn't show it on his face, and said with a smile, "Lord Hanberk is too polite, you can often come to guide, I can't ask for it, I didn't expect you to still remember my unruly girl, she has returned to the imperial capital, hey, this stinky girl who is not angry, only knows how to play crazy with those friends, and she will go back after living with me for a few days." β
Hanbock glanced at Gogatu with great meaning, and said with a faint smile, "The city lord is too modest, although Miss Allia is lively and cheerful by nature, but she is extremely bold and measured in her work, which is quite similar to you city lord, not to mention that she is also the daughter of the Solomon family, the first heir to the position of the patriarch, how can I not remember the future city lord?" However, Miss Ellea is young and active, and does not like restraint, if there is any accident, isn't the lord of the castle afraid that the heir's position will fall to someone else?"
After hearing this, Gogatu's eyes shrank suddenly, the smile on his face dissipated, and a powerful aura that surpassed the Silver Rank Demon Fighter suddenly erupted, and the entire meeting room instantly became as cold as an ice cellar, and then Gogatu stared straight at Hanbock's half-open and half-closed eyes, and said in a cold tone, "Hanbock, what do you mean by this?"
