Act 297. Brothers meet
Celia. Ian Gray, the sister of the current head of the Ian Gray family, never married, living alone in the city of Olmster, her mansion is not as low-key as the Ian Gray family, and the three-story building is not even as big as the Sophinet villa where Reiner lived by the sea.
The mansion is located in the wealthy district of Olmster, where most of the people live in the factory, a few nobles, and one or two mid-level mages who love to be social.
There were already a few people standing at the gate, the attendants of the Ian Gray family, and when they saw Reiner, they immediately saluted.
"Are they all here, please take me there."
Reiner asked, his polite way of speaking shocked the servants, they seemed to have never seen the third young master so polite.
"Young master, young master, I'll take you there."
A middle-aged servant at the head said, glancing at Claire, and then led Reiner into the mansion, through the hall where the servants came and went, to the door of a nearby parlor.
"This young lady, please go this way."
The servant said to Claire again.
It looked like only members of the Ian Gray family were allowed to enter, and Reiner nodded slightly at Claire before pushing the door open as she was led to another room by the servants.
There were already two people in the living room.
Reiner recognized it as his brother and sister from memory.
Big Brother Raven. Ian Gray, with the gray hair of the Ian Gray family logo, although he is the oldest, he is only in his mid-twenties, in Reiner's memory, this eldest brother has a gentle and weak personality, and is not good at fighting people, which is why he has the best relationship with other family members.
Raven sat in the sofa chair and smiled kindly when he saw Reiner, but he didn't stand up, which was probably the distance between the brothers at the moment.
Sister Phyllis. Ian Gray, her gray hair tied in a side ponytail, hanging down the back of her head, this sister is the third child in the family, a year older than Reiner, she has been bohemian since she was a child, she likes to socialize, has had inexplicable relationships with many men, and has never been expected by her family.
Phyllis leaned against the windowsill, as if playing with a small object, and she glanced at Reiner without speaking.
Reiner didn't feel anything to be honest, he didn't have any feelings for this brother and sister, and now he came here just to see what the Ian Gray family had called them back, what were their plans, he silently found a chair, and just sat down, a person pushed the door in.
"Sorry for the delay."
The person who came was also the same gray hair, but between his eyebrows and eyes was more sharp, and he was dressed in a dress, not like he was coming to a funeral, but more like he was coming to a banquet.
Hailar. Ian Gray, Reiner's second brother and the most promising of his generation, showed an amazing talent for business since he was a child, and after leaving his hometown with the rest of his siblings, he was also best known in the business field, and today, Hyrule has built a vast commercial network in the Eastern countries, almost monopolizing the supply of raw materials for several industries.
Hyrule looked at the brothers, and his eyes fell on Reiner.
"Reiner, it seems you're doing well, I can drink Crescent Coke in the east."
He said that the failure of his former younger brother to obstruct Reiner made Hyrule a little embarrassed, but he quickly dealt with the problems after that, and now Hyrule knows about Reiner's situation only that his Crescent Coke has been sold all over the continent and has a lot of income, as for magic, Hyrule usually doesn't pay much attention to it, only knows that his younger brother seems to have made a lot of noise.
As things stand, Hyrule thinks that Reiner is preoccupied with magic and doesn't seem to be interested in competing for the family business, so he turns from the initial suppression to co-optation, and this time, he tries to form an alliance with Reiner against the other brothers.
Reiner didn't respond to Hailar's close greeting, which made Hailar a little embarrassed, so he could only find a place to sit down.
The four of them waited for a while, and then they saw a man dressed as a butler walk in, and through memory, Reiner knew that this was Chandler, the chief butler of the Ian Gray family, and the confidant of his father Winchester, and even more powerful than their brothers.
"Uncle Chandler, what about my father?"
Hailar was the first to stand up, and seemed to feel that he had achieved the highest level at the moment and should be the representative.
"The lord won't come over this time, he told you to attend the funeral."
Chandler stood up straight, and Reiner noticed that the butler had a distinct callus on his right hand, which appeared to be a perennial sword-wielding man, perhaps a veteran soldier, something Reiner had never noticed in the past.
"What, father won't come?"
Hailar was a little disappointed, in his opinion, this should have been an opportunity for him to perform well, but now that he looked at it, he couldn't figure out what the father was thinking.
Is it really just for them to hold a funeral for their aunt?
"The funeral will be held in the afternoon, you young masters and young ladies can walk around the villa at will, please don't leave, I will send a servant to inform you when the time comes."
Chandler said lightly, and then left, without saying a word.
"What the hell is going on?"
Confused, Hyrule took out his pocket watch and glanced at it, then walked out of the room in a hurry.
Raven didn't say anything, and left with him.
Reiner was about to go to Claire when he was stopped by his sister Phyllis.
"Reiner, what do you think?"
There was a hint of charm in Phyllis's voice, if it were someone else, he might have been distracted, but Reiner remained silent and looked directly into the other party's eyes.
"Sister Phyllis, why did you come to ask me if you knew?"
Reiner was still a little unsure, but when he heard Phyllis's inquiry, he immediately confirmed his guess and asked rhetorically.
"Hehe, you've changed a lot in the past six months, and you're no longer the kid who didn't understand anything in the past."
Phyllis smiled, the clothes on her body were quite designed, boldly revealing her fair calves and upper arms, and at the same time embellished with a lot of lace, the close-fitting fabric set off her fiery figure, Phyllis took out an iron cigarette case from her pocket, took out one, lit it with a match, took a deep breath, and spit out the smoke.
The aroma of the tobacco is very faint and not choking, and Reiner can even smell a hint of fruit, which must be a special cigarette.
"I suspect there's a secret hidden in Aunt Selia's house."
Phyllis said quietly.
"Father's intention is for us to find this secret so that we can find out what we are capable of."
