Chapter 10: Prelude (1)

Douglas replied quickly, sounding like he wasn't thinking at all, and reacted purely knee-jerk.

In fact, however, this was the answer he had prepared for a long time.

Douglas: "Please believe me, I am no less than anyone else in this world in my love for the eldest lady, but the current situation of the Osiris family makes me have to worry about Freira's future. ”

The young man's words were not completely broken, but the meaning of the words could not be more clear.

- Not only him, but many high-ranking members of the family have expressed similar concerns about the struggle between heirs in the past two years.

With Ferro still having enough energy to suppress his two sons, the question of the godfather's heir has always been covered up by his tough style, but as Ferro grows older and the two young masters have more and more power, this contradiction is finally exposed.

And with the temperament of these two young masters, no matter who inherits the mantle of Ferro, Freira's future will inevitably be overshadowed...

For the little princess of the Osiris family, the best outcome is probably to be used as a tool to strengthen her strength, and sent to the home of a strange partner as the object of a political marriage.

As for her own well-being, apparently no one cares.

… For this, even the godfather of Ferro, who has always loved Freira the most, can only express helplessness.

Fellro: "This is how the mafia survives, and since she is my daughter for the rest of her life, she should accept this fate." ”

Douglas: "You're not wrong at all, but if I mean, is there a possibilityβ€”if the daughter of the Osiris family doesn't choose to marry outside, but instead hires a son-in-law, do you think that will solve this problem?" ”

Douglas's tone was calm, but compared with his usual indifference, it seemed to suppress a fiery emotion, and only at this time could Ferro see similar qualities in this half-grown child as his peers...

Of course, the godfather didn't expect the boy's acting skills to be so outstanding, so that he couldn't understand the other party's real thoughts if he was as sophisticated.

Fellro: "That's why you put the whole plan down and didn't tell me until now, right?" ”

"Exactly... As humble as I could not avoid the eyes and ears of my family in any matter what I did, as you already knew the inside story, I think my every move on the island of Scampala was presented to the desks of the two sons long before the return of the negotiators sent by Capenbecchi. ”

Douglas got down on one knee again and continued: "If I choose to follow the process and report the plan in advance, I am afraid that it will either be rejected by vested interests or the results will be stolen by others. And I can only be a little person who can't take the stage, let alone Miss Freira. ”

"So I have to take a risk, Godfather, I must at least have the power to make the two sons face it, and at least become a supporter worthy of their enlistment, only then can I give the eldest lady happiness."

Douglas finished all his words in one breath, and then continued to bow his head and kneel in front of Fellau, waiting for the final judgment of the Godfather.

The air in the dining room was tense to the extreme, but as an important party, Fellau, who sat on the chairman's seat, stubbornly brewed silence and never said a word, just like Douglas, who was buried in his head.

Long... The pillar of the Osiris family finally spoke.

"Do you know what my two sons will do to you if you say these things now?"

Douglas: "I don't care, my allegiance is to the Osiris family, to Miss Freira, but at this moment, I am really the only one I owe allegiance. ”

"Hehe, look up."

Fellro opened his mouth and said something similar to before, and Douglas naturally had to do so.

Fellau: "I asked you... You know what I see in your eyes? ”

Douglas: "Whatever it is, I'm going to see it as my destiny." ”

"Huh... Hahahaha!! Go ahead! Ambitious little ghost, just let it go, and let me see how far you can go! ”

Fello laughed and agreed to Douglas's request, but did not hide his disgust and wariness for him.

Although this old guy didn't really see the boy through, he still chose to trust his instincts - he knew very well that Douglas was the number one dangerous person, but at the same time, he also understood that only such a person could achieve great things that ordinary people could not imagine.

From Douglas's point of view, the problem is relatively simple.

With the current situation, he has obtained the highest authority to deal with it on the spot in this big business, and for him, the relatively difficult steps have actually ended, and the next things are all in his plan.

…

Two months later, on the shore of Scampala Island, a luxurious cruise ship slowly docked.

On the gangway connecting the shore of the island, a personable teenager is leading a beautiful and generous young lady to the crowd with a smile and a smile.

As agreed, Douglas took time out to take Freira on a trip to the island.

Although the travel project itself is not a new entertainment for the two of them, for Freira, who is indulging in the sour smell of love, the sweet experience created with her lover is the real memory to be cherished.

Freira: "Actually, it doesn't have to be like this, dear Douglas, why do you have to quarrel with those philistine merchants?" Even if we can't see the fountain, as long as we are together, we are already very happy. ”

"No, Miss, this is the tour route I have planned for you, no matter what the cost, I will not let this memory that belongs to us have the slightest regret."

Speaking of this, Douglas waved his hand playfully, "Besides, it's not a trouble, even if it is a spring that can only gush once in ten years, I think it will definitely be because of your pity, and I will have no regrets for the rest of my life." ”

"Giggles, you're really good at talking."

Freila chuckled, then gently smacked the boy's cheek, and where the two landed, Hagrid and the other members of the Boys' Army had been waiting for a long time.

"Boss!"

Over the years, Hagrid, who was already five big and three thick, grew stronger and stronger... Originally, he was the age of growing his body, and under the strict guidance of Douglas, this kid's skills were the same as his height, as if he was growing at a rate visible to the naked eye every day.

Ever since Douglas ordered a covert struggle for control of the docks, Hagrid has made a name for himself on Scampara Island as the current number one general of the Cadet Army, and unless it is a special circumstance, all the hooligans who make a living in the harbor are in awe of this evil god.

In this regard, Douglas is not worried about Hagrid at all - they are gangsters in the first place, because of the existence of this aura, they can stifle a lot of troubles in the cradle, as long as Hagrid himself can grasp the depth of this.

… As far as the situation is concerned, at least during the whole process of Douglas ordering the men to send Miss Freira back to the Osirisbon family, everything was arranged by him in an orderly manner, and there were no accidents.

It was only after the boy stood on the shore and said goodbye to his lover that Hagrid sent a detailed piece of information about the recent floating population in the port to the leader of the boys' army.
