Chapter Ninety-Six: Victor
After Bello walked into the gate with Nikolai and the others, Gordon slowly turned around with a gloomy face and walked towards the gate, no matter how he said it, he was also the acting patriarch of the Golden Kite family, even if he was angry in his heart, he couldn't be rash.
But when passing by Randy, facing this son he had always been proud of, he showed a rare angry face, "For the sake of a woman, where did you lose your usual calmness and wisdom?" Hmph, Feng Lingxi, this girl is ambitious, and she is not a good marriage partner, you should think about it yourself, don't do everything too casually, your father is only the acting patriarch after all, not the real patriarch!"
After speaking, Gordon ignored Randy's increasingly ugly face and walked straight through the door
At this time, Randy's hands were already clenched tightly, and a few green tendons appeared on his forehead due to excessive force, and a deep look of resentment was revealed in his eyes.
In the living room of the Golden Kite family, a long-haired old man with a rickety body holding a cane in both hands sat in the main seat directly above the hall, his eyes seemed to be open and closed, and his thin body exuded a twilight that belonged to the old man.
As the door of the parlor opened, Nikolai walked into the parlor alone, walked up to the old man with a respectful expression, bent down and saluted, "Uncle Victor, Nikolai greets you and wishes you good health." ”
The old man's eyes opened a slit, and the corners of his mouth showed a smile and said, "Nikolai, you came to me this time, is there something wrong with Brother Kaido? Is there anything else in the imperial capital that you young people can't solve?
Nikolai stood up straight and smiled, "Uncle Victor, it's not that my father is in trouble, but there is something I think I need to tell you, otherwise it will easily cause big trouble to the Hurricane and the Golden Kite family." ”
Victor's gray eyebrows were raised, and he smiled faintly, "Oh, can you cause trouble for both of us at the same time?" Hehe, it seems that the matter is very serious, come, sit down and talk to me slowly." ”
After Nikolai thanked him, he sat down in the first seat of Victor and said, "Uncle Victor, a young man from the imperial capital recently had some misunderstanding with Randy, under Randy's arrangement, this young man is about to duel with Vrannikimir in the 'Blood Battle Arena', for this matter, my daughter Garona is still very unhappy with Randy, but it still can't change the holding of this duel. ”
Victor's face didn't change in the slightest, and he nodded lightly, "Well, which family is this young man from, or which descendant of the Holy Order?"
Nikolai secretly praised in his heart, sure enough, talking to a smart person is simple, the old man in front of him is not the helmsman of the Golden Kite family, and he has controlled this family for sixty years, and he can grasp the key point of the matter in an instant.
Smiling lightly, Nikolai stared carefully at Victor's face and said, "It's the heir of the 'Thunder Emperor'." ”
Victor's hand holding the cane trembled instantly, and he was silent for a long time before sighing, "It's the heir of Big Brother Roger, I haven't seen him for many years, has your father seen Big Brother Roger recently?"
Nikolai's face was a little cloudy, and he nodded slowly, "I heard my father say that he met Uncle Roger once three years ago, but he didn't tell me the details, and it was also at that time that Garona met Uncle Roger's heir, and recognized this young man on the streets of the imperial capital the day before yesterday. ”
Victor sighed, slowly opened his drooping eyelids, and said with a smile to Nikolai, "Thank you, Nikolai, this news is very important to me, since you came to me, there must be a solution to this matter, say, how do you need me to cooperate?"
Nikolai bowed and smiled, "You are too polite, our two families have been friends for hundreds of years, it is appropriate to help each other, you just need to talk to Bello, so that he can support me on your behalf at a critical moment, you also know, I may exert some pressure on Kekes in this matter, the Hurricane family alone is a little weak, but with the name of the Golden Kite family, it is almost enough." ”
Victor laughed, shook his head while laughing, and said, "You, this is for the sake of my old man's face, okay, I accept your affection, Bello? Okay, let him be responsible this time, all the expenses and favors of this matter will be borne by Golden Iris, in addition, Garona has suffered a lot of grievances in this matter, I will ask Gordon to take Randy to Wuthering Castle to apologize, well, her birthday is also coming, I will give her the 'Trace of the Holy Wind' that His Majesty gave me last year." ”
Nikolai's face changed, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Uncle Victor, this is not good, the 'Trace of the Holy Wind' is a priceless treasure, and I will never accept it." ”
Victor waved his hand and smiled, "Don't be polite to me, the Golden Kite family doesn't have any outstanding talents in the wind system now, and it's a waste to put this 'Trace of the Holy Wind' here for me, just give it to Garona, although this little guy is young, he already has a little bit of your demeanor in handling things, Nikolai, you have given birth to a good daughter!"
Nikolai didn't see any joy or anger on his face, and he thought for a while before chuckling, "Since Uncle Victor insists on doing so, then I thank you on behalf of Garona, and if you have nothing else to do, I will take my leave." ”
Victor nodded slowly, "Okay, you go, come and see me as an old man if it's okay, I can't compare with your father, he is a saint-level powerhouse, with a lifespan of five hundred years, I can't, I'm already a hundred years old, but I don't have long to live." ”
After Nikolai responded politely, he stood up and saluted again, and then turned around and walked in the direction of the gate, but the moment he turned his head, his face instantly became gloomy, and his eyes revealed a cold chill.
After leaving the Golden Kite family's compound, Garona looked at Nikolai's grim face in the carriage, pondered for a moment, and cautiously asked, "Father, didn't this conversation go well? But Grandpa Victor gave me the 'Streak of the Holy Wind', such a valuable gift, and said that Uncle Gordon and Randy should go and apologize to me, didn't our purpose be achieved?"
Nikolai turned his head to look at his daughter, and said with a wry smile on his face, "Yes, the superficial purpose has been achieved, but unfortunately the deeper purpose is the worst outcome." ”
Garona frowned and said, "Deeper purpose?Father, do you mean that you have other purposes for looking for Grandpa Victor this time?"
Nikolai shook his head and said, "Don't ask more, you are still young, there are some things that you should not worry about now, this time with the 'Traces of the Holy Wind', your elemental mage's cultivation speed will reach a terrifying level, but I hope you learn to hide your clumsiness, especially not to reveal your true strength in front of Tony, is it okay?"
Garona nodded thoughtfully and said, "I understand, don't worry, I won't show more strength than my brother, after all, he is the future patriarch, and he needs to have confidence and majesty." ”
Nikolai smiled with relief, "Very good, you can understand my hard work, Tony is not very strong, although you are brothers and sisters, I am sure that he will not do anything to hurt you, but why should we let him worry about such a thing? ”
Garona nodded obediently, and then snuggled up to Nikolai and quieted down, she saw that Nikolai had other things on her mind, but since Nikolai didn't want to say, she didn't want to ask again.
Caressing Garona's supple hair, Nikolai regained his thoughts.
"Victor obviously knew that Uncle Roger was going to duel, but he didn't ask me a word, this is not a good phenomenon, in the past, this old fox tried to get closer to Uncle Roger, this time his attitude suddenly changed, it seems that he is not optimistic that Uncle Roger will win, if Uncle Roger really loses this duel, then he and his father estimate that the possibility of even returning to the Bauhinia Empire is very slim, the Golden Kite family has been based in the empire for hundreds of years, and there is definitely a holy level combat power under his command, and when the time comes, it is time to deal with the Hurricane family, Uncle Victor, are you planning to do so?”
"Hmph, in recent years, the Golden Kite and the Jade family have gotten closer and closer, if the Golden Kite has a move, Jade is estimated to not be idle, Fabian this guy has a low IQ but is very ambitious, it is easy to be used by Victor, it seems that it is time for me to win over some help, hey, but these are not the most important, the key depends on what that person thinks......"
Thinking of this, Nikolai couldn't help but turn his head in the direction of the east, which was the location of the Bauhinia Empire's Imperial Palace.
The dormitory area of Shenyuan Academy, located in Villa No. 5, Pandora was wearing a black robe, outlining the perfect body curve, and at this time, her charming face was looking at Lei Xiu with a shallow smile, but her eyes that seemed to be able to seduce the soul were full of coldness.
"What did you just ask me?"
Lei Xiu looked at Pandora, a little puzzled, but still repeated the question, "I'm asking you what kind of person is Grand Elder Duke?"
Pandora was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said softly, "Why did you ask me this question?
Lei Xiu didn't hear anything from Pandora's words, and said in distress when he heard the words, "Hey, I actually came to Shenyuan Academy to learn from Grand Elder Duke, but Lord Dean's double cultivation of law and martial arts must be a dead end, and I am very entangled now, so I want to see Grand Elder Duke before making a final decision." ”
Pandora's eyes lit up, and her voice asked in a slightly hurried voice, "See Grand Elder Duke, and can you meet him?"
Lei Xiu nodded, "I have obtained the permission of the dean, and Teacher Moika will take me to meet him tomorrow, but when I asked Teacher Moika what kind of person Grand Elder Duke is, he asked me to ask you, are you very familiar with Grand Elder Duke? I heard others say that this Great Elder is not very easy to get along with!"
The cold and indifferent attitude on Pandora's face, which seemed to be indifferent to everything, disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a look of shock, anger, joy, and jealousy......
