Chapter Thirty-Eight: No Problem!
"Let the Mirods be destroyed?"
Looking at Pei Lisha, who was helped away by the maid, a touch of complexity flashed in Caiyue's eyes.
Although he had imagined this family to be extremely terrifying, what Pei Lisa said still made him shudder.
Pei Lisa's father is the youngest son of the Midrod family, although he is much younger than the other brothers, but he has relied on his business talent to walk ahead of several brothers, and he became the head of the Midro family in charge of the Chamber of Commerce at a young age.
It can be said that ......
If nothing happens, he will be the next head of the Mirod family.
However, on Delissa's twelfth birthday, her father and mother were attacked and killed by 'bandits' on their way home.
But it didn't take long for the old man, who was so fond of his younger son, to seem to have completely forgotten about him...... No more investigation into the cause of Peilisa's father's death.
What does this mean......
Even Caiyue can figure it out, so Pei Lisha hates these people and hates the old master...... He even wanted to destroy the entire House of Mirod.
Thinking of this, Caiyue couldn't help but sigh again, the cruelty of the outside world made him feel a kind of tiredness that he had never felt before, compared to this terrible reality, the kind of cocoon life he had lived was probably the best.
"This sighing appearance is not suitable for you at all."
A voice came from Caiyue's ears, and when he turned his head, he saw Wood, who didn't know where he had run before, appearing behind him, with a smile on his face, as if he was looking at his own joke, which made Caiyueyue couldn't help frowning.
But he didn't say anything, but glanced at the night overhead: "I suddenly don't understand now, what is family affection...... What is wealth and power? β
Hearing this, Wood couldn't help but pout, this question is really not ordinary naivety.
The corners of Wood's mouth curled into a sneer, and he said in a very indifferent tone: "Wealth and power are things that are really close to life. β
"Huh?"
Caiyue was stunned.
However, Wood did not give him a chance to ask, and said coldly: "This world is like this, family affection is obligation, friendship is utilization, love is a necessary means to vent desires, and wealth and power are things that are really close to life; Family affection will lose to time, friendship will lose to money, and love will lose to family circumstances. Time is inevitable, but money and power can allow you to win two games in most of the situations in this 'cruel reality'. β
"The world is so simple, and when you think about it, you will find out how naΓ―ve your problems are."
ββ¦β¦β
The corners of Caiyue's mouth moved slightly.
Originally, he was looking for some comfort from Wood's answer, but he didn't know why...... After listening to this, he became even more desperate about the world.
"Of course ......"
Wood smiled, a flash of nostalgia in his eyes, "It's rare, but there's something in this world that doesn't lose to anything. β
"Really?"
Cai Yue smiled bitterly and didn't continue to ask, who knows what amazing words will pop out of this bastard's mouth.
While the two were talking, they had already walked outside the meeting room.
At some point, a dense crowd had gathered outside the meeting room, each with a solemn and uneasy look on their faces, and the direction these people were looking at the collapsed three-story building.
"What the hell is going on?"
"I don't know, but a horrible corpse was just lifted out of the rubble."
"yes...... The corpse was so terrifying that the upper and lower bodies were completely folded in half, and they broke in two with a light grip. β
"And I heard from the knight who just came, this is caused by a blow, how terrifying is it to cause this effect?"
"Huh, that's scary, isn't it?"
"Of course."
"I see, though, that the man who died was an old housekeeper of House Mirod."
"Shh......h Don't talk nonsense. β
ββ¦β¦β
Looking at Wood, who appeared among those servants at some point and discussed with the servants without any sense of disobedience, the corners of Caiyue's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
Especially the frightened and pale face of this product is exactly the same as the servants around it, it doesn't look like it's pretending at all, as if it really doesn't know anything...... If he hadn't known that this bastard had killed people, he would have believed them.
"Oh no!"
At this moment, a team of heavily armed guards suddenly ran in the distance, and everyone's face was extremely pale.
"What's wrong again?"
Natsuki frowned.
"The old master was ...... Assassinated!! β
As soon as these words came out, the front of the main building instantly fell into an eerie silence.
"What did you just say?"
Second Young Master Bernard came from the ruins and frowned at the guard: "Father was assassinated?" β
"This ......"
The leader of the guard hesitated for a long time, and he didn't say why.
"Who did it!!"
Wilsan appeared in front of the crowd at some point, his face full of disbelief, although he thought that there might be some twists and turns tonight, but he could not have imagined that his father would be the first to die.
Bernard's brow was also furrowed, although he was planning to ...... The old master still won't live tonight.
But this is not his hand, and this is not the time for the old man to die, because the old man with dim eyes is a fuse, and his death can be said to have completely opened the beginning of tonight's chaotic battle.
Although the impact is not large, it will still cause some obstacles to his next actions, and ......
It's too early to start.
Is it Pei Lisa's little girl?
However, Bernard then shook his head, since the matter had come to this point, it was imperative to start his plan as soon as possible, rather than guessing who had killed the old man.
Thinking of this, he glanced at the eldest brother beside him with a sneer.
This idiot who was still in the hands of victory before, now looks really funny as a lost dog.
"Where is Wei Hailuo?"
Wei Hailuo, who was standing next to him without saying a word, suddenly asked.
Weihailuo?
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they found out...... It seems that the fourth young master has not been seen from beginning to end.
"Tsk, I can't stay in this place."
Seeing this, Wood patted Caiyue Pleiades beside him: "If you don't want to die, hurry up and find a better stage to watch." β
ββ¦β¦β
Caiyue came back to her senses, and looked at Wood with a strange expression: "You killed it?" β
"How is that possible!"
Wood glared: "Are you a murderer for me?" We're under the fence, how could I possibly kill the master here. β
Cai Yue rolled her eyes, what she said was really unconvincing.
Not to mention......
"Your first impression was ...... A homicidal maniac who kills without saying a word. β
"Uh......"
Wood choked on Caiyue's words, and then nodded: "Well, I killed it!" β
ββ¦β¦ You're denying it to me. β
"I said it's not that you don't believe it, I said it was you and asked me to deny it, you are not annoyed!"
The corners of Caiyue's eyes twitched, although he had already experienced that this guy was mentally abnormal, but he never thought that the moment he left, this bastard actually ran to kill the old master of the Mirod family......
"What the hell do you want to do?"
"That old man is destined not to survive tonight, I just sent him on his way early."
Wood said indifferently, and then changed the conversation, and smiled at Caiyue Pleiades: "However, have you decided?" β
Decision?
Caiyue was stunned for a moment, and looked at Wood inexplicably: "What to decide?" β
"Of course it's the next head of the family, otherwise why do you think I'm going to spend so much time?" Wood looked at Cai Yue with a kind of 'caring for the mentally handicapped' gaze: "If I just protect you until tomorrow morning, I will directly take you to find a place to hide and watch the play." β
"I'll decide who will succeed the next head of the family?"
"Of course!"
Wood looked at Caiyue's uncertain expression, and said in a lazy tone, "I have already paved the way for you, as for how to get ......" His tone changed, and he said in a tone similar to encouragement and seemed to be crazy: "Now your words can set the future, let the next development change at will with your words, even if it is to make a dog the next head of the Mirod family, I can help you achieve it!" β
These words made Cai Yueyue couldn't help but take a few steps back, looking at Wood's lazy smile, and somehow a little ...... It's chilling.
But......
Shall I decide the next head of the house?
"Why did you let me come?"
"Isn't that nonsense?"
Wood spread his hands: "My task is nothing more than to keep you safe and give you some help privately because of the contract, and your task is to witness who will become the next family, and I am only giving you the right to choose." β
"Of course, it's up to you whether you want to meddle or not, if you don't interfere, I can make it much easier, as long as I protect you."
Caiyue hesitated when she heard this, and she couldn't help but think of what Pei Lisha had told her before.
Rather than let those inhuman guys be in charge of the Mirod family, it is better to let the people who want to destroy all of this be, and the reason why Pei Lisha wants to destroy the Mirod family is completely to avenge her father, as long as she can take revenge, Natsuki feels that she is the most suitable candidate to become the head of the family.
Thinking of this, Caiyue hesitated: "Is it really possible?" β
"Hmm!"
Wood nodded, and the expression on his face once again seemed to be smiling: "As long as you don't regret it, even if you regret it, it can't be relied on me, after all, this is completely your decision alone, and I don't have any words or actions to force, guide, or seduce you." β
"What you say is very unsettling, but ......" Caiyue paused: "Since you can choose, I hope that Pei Lisha can become the next head of the Mirod family." β
"Are you sure?"
The smile on Wood's face grew thicker, as if he had seen something he was interested in.
This smile inexplicably made Caiyue a little uneasy, and couldn't help asking, "What's ......?"
"I said it!"
Wood directly interrupted Caiyue's words: "I won't give any opinion on your decision, it's all up to you!" β
This bastard!
Cai Yue glared at Wood with some annoyance, and finally gritted her teeth: "It's decided, if you can do it, then let Pei Lisha become the next head of the family, I don't believe that the ending will be more unacceptable than others becoming the head of the family." β
"No problem!"
