In the face of the reality of the impermanence of the world, Reis, who woke up from his dream, could not care about the sorrow and wailing in his heart, faced with the heavy loss of the family business, and also had to "honor" a large amount of money Bailey from Lieutenant Colonel Luther of the Navy, and looked at his father's troubled money, exhausted, and sad face every day, which made Reis very worried about the safety of his family!

Reis, who is only five years old, has been with his father since he was a child, and his father Becky is also happy to see his son's serious and mature appearance, that is, he takes Rey with him every day when he works from home, and his sister Ellie follows his mother Lena every day, and her mother teaches Ellie aristocratic etiquette from an early age.

Lacey was clear about the layout of the villa at home, Lacey knew that there were two small houses behind his house, and the family stayed in the living room with a sad face, and couldn't think of a good idea, so he asked Grandpa Hall's housekeeper to lead him to see the two cottages behind.

Through Hall's housekeeper's grandfather's explanation, Lacey learned that the two huts were the place where the maids of the family made colorful and pastel paints, and they were part of the family business, which were specially used to sell to other nobles, so that they could use them to "cultivate their sentiments", accompany women to paint, and travel, to show the talents of the nobles, in exchange for the favor of women!

"Young master, it's all stopped working now!" Hall's housekeeper Grandpa took Les to the hut, which had been suspended for more than a month, and said to Lacey with a bitter face.

As the steward of the Beirut family, the Hall housekeeper family is tied to the Beirut family, the prosperity of the Beirut family represents the prosperity of the Hall housekeeper family, and the death of the Beirut family represents the death of the Hall housekeeper family.

In addition, the Hall Butler is considered an elder of the three dynasties, first serving the father of the eldest lord Becky, and then serving Viscount Becky, after the birth of Young Master Lacey, he has served the Beirut family for three generations, and the grade has reached the age of 50, this love makes everyone in the Beirut family regard the Hall steward as their own family.

Reis looked at the two small houses in front of him, and the big lock in front of the door that had begun to rust slightly said, "Grandpa, why didn't you stop work?" ”

Lacey knew that the family business had been run, but he was still curious about why he stopped working!

Butler Hall stepped forward to open the slightly rusty iron door with a bitter face, looked at the neatly arranged dye basin in the room, touched his slightly pale beard and said, "Young master, because the business can't go on anymore!" The enemies of our family, the seven of them joined forces to run the family business together, and they were desperate to squeeze the family business out of the bank at a loss, and they started to act a few months ago. ”

"In June, all the family's businesses were squeezed to the point that they couldn't go on, all the business funds were disconnected, the loss-making business family and the seven families couldn't fight, and the family capital chain was broken, so the family production workshop couldn't go on! Not to mention the tiny paint shop! ”

So that's it! Rey finally understood why his father and Hall's housekeeper grandfather were sad all day long, and they all went away according to the cost of food and clothing, and even the food that he and his sister usually liked to eat as a family member was reduced, so that Rey could see the seriousness of the matter clearly.

"But why did my father say last night that the family was in danger, grandpa?" When Lacey wanted to go to his father's room last night, he overheard the conversation between his father and his mother outside the door, and remembered that his father had said something about the family's danger, which made Lacey remember it deeply, and he took this opportunity to ask Grandpa Hall.

When Hall heard Lacey's words, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he frowned and secretly thought: Didn't you tell the patriarch! The real danger of the family now can't be told to the family, so as not to cause panic in people's hearts, why do you still talk about it!

Hall grabbed Reis who was walking, looked at Reis with a serious face and said, "Young master, did your father tell you about this matter?" Didn't someone else tell me? ”

It was the patriarch Betsge who told the young master, it was nothing, the hall housekeeper was afraid that the servants and servants in the family would mess with their tongues, so that everyone in the family would know, resulting in chaos within the family, and it was not terrible for a family to encounter the enemy's attack, and the most feared thing was that when the enemy attacked, the people in the family were still unaligned, which led to the chaos of the people and the ruin of the family, which was the most terrible.

With Hall's more than 50 years of experience, Hall probably guessed that there must have been the tacit approval of Lieutenant Commander Luther in this matter.

Otherwise, it is impossible for those seven families to openly squeeze and suppress the Beirut family, all the nobles of the Goya Kingdom know that the backer of the Beirut family is Lieutenant Colonel Luther, and under the protection of the reputation of Lieutenant Colonel Luther in the Navy, the Beirut family is safe and stable, and it is estimated that the Beirut family's business has been booming in recent years, making the enemy feel threatened.

Hall guessed that the Seven Lieutenant Colonel should have given Lieutenant Colonel Luther a higher price and let Lieutenant Colonel Luther ignore the matter, but the strange thing is that since Lieutenant Colonel Luther had already acquiesced to the Seventh Family's action against the Beirut family, why didn't the ten navies of the Beirut family withdraw? Hall looked at the two navies standing at the gate of the street in the distance, and thought suspiciously.

It's not just Butler Hall and Viscount Betsy who are surprised.

Even the people of the Seven Great Families were curious and puzzled when they saw the navy stationed outside the Beirut family! The seven families who had already cut off the business and capital chain of the Beirut family were ready to launch the final blow in the past few days, so that the Beirut family would disappear from the world, who knew that Lieutenant Colonel Luther sent the Beirut family's ten-member naval team did not withdraw, and in the face of the existence of the navy, the seven families did not dare to act in the case of a navy anyway!

Move a family that has been broken, with the laws of the kingdom, at most pay a fine, and the Goya Kingdom has more titles, and it is okay to have one less! But if one navy is moved, all the navies in the naval headquarters are moved, and no family in the seven families dares to touch this huge cause and effect! The patriarch of the Seven Great Families was helpless, so he asked a family master who knew Lieutenant Colonel Luther a little to go to Lieutenant Colonel Luther's naval villa base in Goa King City to ask what the situation was and why he didn't remove the ten navies!

Looking at Grandpa Hall's serious face, Resis who knew that Grandpa Hall had a gentle personality, knew that the matter was really serious, Les hurriedly shook his head and said: "Grandpa, no, it wasn't my father who told me, I wanted to go to my father's room last night, and I just heard the conversation between my father and my mother, I just found out!" ”

Listening to Young Master Reis's answer, Hall has been staring at Reis's eyes and facial expression seriously, with his more than fifty years of experience, he wants to know if a person is lying, you can see from his eyes and expression, you can see that when Young Master Reis speaks, his eyes are flashing, his eyes are clear and calm, and Steward Hall knows that Young Master Reis is not lying to himself!

The identity of the housekeeper is actually equivalent to that of a domestic servant, but his personal value is higher than that of a domestic servant, in the final analysis, with the situation of the Hall housekeeper questioning Young Master Lacey, it can already be regarded as a slave bullying the master, but the Hall housekeeper has to ask for the safety of his family!

After all, about the life and death of the Beirut family, the housekeeper family has deeply imprinted the traces of belonging to the Beirut family, counting Reis, the Hall housekeeper who has served the patriarch of the Beirut family for nearly three generations, and it is true that he will never give up, and the dedication to the Hall housekeeper is recognized by all Beirut people, so Reis has been very polite and sensible since he was a child and called the Hall housekeeper grandpa.

But the Hall housekeeper also has to think about his family, he can live and die with the Beirut family for the sake of the master-servant relationship, but the family is innocent after all, and the family cannot be killed for the master-servant relationship, which the Hall butler can't do, if the Beirut family is really dangerous, then Hall will arrange for his family later.

Now Steward Hall heard that Rey had accidentally heard what Viscount Betch said, so he put down his mind and said gently to Young Master Reis: "Young Master Reis, don't mention what you heard from the patriarch to anyone else, you know?" By the way, you haven't told anyone! ”

Reis shook his head and said: "Grandpa, I only told you, I haven't told anyone else, I will remember it, I won't tell anyone else!" ”

After thinking about it, Les knew that Grandpa Hall's words were not wrong, but Reis looked at Grandpa Hall's kind face, and his heart was full of worries about Grandpa Hall's housekeeper.

For many years, he has been taken by his father's side, as long as he is at home, no matter what his father does, he will lead his sensible and intelligent son Reis to listen and watch more, and under the teaching of his father's "inadvertently", Reis, who has been familiar with his inner maturity since he was a child, naturally understands a lot.

Father is always kind and kind in front of his family and domestic servants, his sister is naughty and mischievous and teases his father, and his father Becky will only tease his sister, making himself embarrassed and making his sister happy, and embarrassing in front of the domestic servants, but if others really think that Father Becky is good at teasing, then this person is brainless!

My father is really, really good to my family, but for enemies and those who are enemies of my father, my father has another side, acting decisively and ruthlessly.

Reis has always been by his father's side, and he has seen his father give orders several times to a middle-aged man whom Reis does not know at all in the dark study, and issued an order to destroy the small family that hinders the family business, which proves that the family still has a secret force to protect the family.

Lacey is the future head of the Beirut family, so Becky never hides his teachings to Lacey at home, and even the most secret things of the family are known to Lacey, and instills Lacey's actions as a nobleman and the head of the family since childhood, and Becky attaches great importance to the identity of the nobleman, and even more to the safety and future of his family.

As a nobleman, he is naturally a superior person, and in this hierarchical world of One Piece, Lacey knows that the only people who can ask and accuse him in this family are the Becky couple, even the Hall steward, who is regarded as a family, does not have this right.

Born with the distinction between high and low, Lacey has understood this truth very well in the past four years, his family is a noble family, regardless of whether he has become the head of the future Beirut family, but he has already indicated that he is the master in his identity at home, and the hall housekeeper is a servant, and there has always been only the master who asks and asks the servant, and no servant has ever grabbed the master who is walking, questioning and questioning the master, and even Reis himself knows in his heart that the grandfather of Hall Butler has exceeded such behavior, let alone his father Becky.

Knowing that his father would never tolerate such a slender behavior as Hall's grandfather, Butler's grandfather, Lacey looked up at the two burly young men behind him who were dressed as domestic servants, hoping that they would not tell his father what had just happened.

Looking at the two young men behind Lacey who were dressed as domestic servants but had unfamiliar faces, the hall housekeeper was thoughtful, but he didn't say much, looked at the well-behaved and sensible Lacey in front of him, touched Lacey's hair with satisfaction, and said, "That's good, don't you want to see the dyeing workshop?" Let's go inside! Then he led Lacey into the dyeing house.
