……

The third district of the imperial capital, the Lin family.

"Young master, the son of the Zuo family is here." The old man bowed his head and said respectfully to the thin man on the balcony who was flipping through the pages.

Lin Zhe frowned, and then ordered, "Arrange for him to come to the living room." ”

"Yes, young master."

Hearing the footsteps of the old man getting farther and farther away, Lin Zhe couldn't help but start moving, it was necessary to tidy up his appearance before meeting guests, after all, he was the only heir of the Lin family.

Placing the book in his hand upside down on the glass table, Lin Zhe walked towards the wardrobe, and the thoughts in his mind involuntarily flew away.

He was a little surprised by the arrival of the son of the Zuo family at this time, but it was also expected.

Since the head of the Zuo family and Zuo Lao died for "some reason" a few months ago, the relationship between the Zuo family in the demon capital and the Lin family in the imperial capital has also reached a freezing point.

And the Lin family and the Zuo family are bitter enemies, and because of this, the two families can be said to have become real enemies.

Although neither the Lin family nor the Zuo family officially declared war on each other, the secret war in private can be regarded as turbulent, and it is not even inferior to the scene after the formal declaration of war.

Take their Lin family as an example, there have been dozens of elders who have died for various reasons in the past few months, and there are even two B-level magicians, so it can be said that everything that has happened in the past few months is enough to make the Lin family hurt their bones and suffer heavy losses. However, the same is true of the Zuo family in the Demon Capital, according to the assessment of the professionals of the Lin family, the Zuo family, which controls nearly one-third of the economy of the Demon Capital, has suffered hundreds of billions of star blue coins in the past few months, and some industries have been irreparably damaged.

After the secret war in the past few months, the Lin family and the Zuo family can be regarded as both defeated, but the two families still have no intention of licking their wounds, and there seems to be a faint tendency not to give up if they don't fight to the death.

However, the appearance of today's son of the Zuo family may change all that.

Of course, it is also possible to make this situation even more serious.

As for Lin Zhe, he didn't want this situation to continue like this.

After all, this black cauldron that was carried for no reason made the Lin family very uncomfortable.

If it continues like this, even if the Zuo family is completely destroyed and everything that is left of the Zuo family is annexed, it will not be beneficial to the Lin family in the slightest.

After all, the Lin family is not bad for money, but compared to the Zuo family, the Lin family can only be regarded as poor.

However, in this world, money does not rule everything, but strength is king.

And the strength of the Lin family, the empire is basically unmatched.

Only because of the ten pillars of the empire, the Lin family accounted for three.

Therefore, for the Lin family, if they are not concerned about the royal family, even if they are rich and rival the country, they can be wiped out by the Lin family.

And the reason why the Lin family did not do this is because the Lin family is supported by the royal family, and behind it stands Her Majesty the Empress, who rules the entire empire.

Without Her Majesty's permission, no A-class mage is allowed to act rashly in the Empire.

This unwritten rule has been around for thousands of years.

And there are dozens of A-class magicians who have died in violation of this regulation.

I have to say that the stronger the person, the more he cherishes his life.

So even today, when the royal family is declining, the old things in the family who have lived for hundreds of years still maintain a blind attitude towards what has happened in the Lin family in the past few months.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhe's thin lips showed a sneer, obviously living to this age, but he was invisibly confined like a livestock, and he didn't know how those old things endured it.

But even so, the Lin family was still not afraid of the Zuo family, and even gained the upper hand in the secret war for several months.

After all, the background of the Lin family is there, although two B-level magicians died, there are still more than ten members of the Lin family.

That's where his confidence lies!

So this is the reason why the son of the Zuo family took the initiative to come to the Lin family instead of him to go to the Zuo family.

The Lin family can afford it, but the Zuo family can't afford it.

This is also the reason why those three old things can sit firmly on Mount Tai and stand still.

After all, as long as the three of them don't die, the Lin family is still the same Lin family, and no one dares to easily tease their tiger whiskers.

——

Lin Zhe slowly walked towards the living room, and a look of thought appeared in his eyes.

Although the Lin family occupies an invincible position, Lin Zhe still did not refuse to meet the son of the Zuo family.

After all, even if the Zuo family is destroyed, it is just a piece of chicken ribs that are tasteless and a pity to discard.

He didn't want to do anything that outweighed the losses, although there were three old things standing behind him, but no one knew that those three old things would die, and before that, he didn't want to defeat the foundation of the Lin family.

Moreover, he was even more curious about how the Zuo family had killed their two elders who were B-level magicians.

Although there is also a gap between B-rank magicians, it is difficult to kill each other, and it is even more difficult for B-rank magicians to escape from each other.

Of course, in addition to very few cases, there are also special existences such as pearl controllers.

And Lin Zhe didn't believe that the Zuo family could spend money to invite such a very special case.

As for the pearl controller, as long as he confirms and reports the news to the imperial military, he believes that the Zuo family will have a very difficult time in the future.

However, what the truth is, can only be known from the next conversation with this son of the Zuo family.

——

Lin Zhe, who was dressed in a black ironed suit, walked to the door of the conference hall, and the old man who was already waiting in front of the gate took the initiative to open the door for him and reminded in a low voice, "Young master, there are two other people besides the son of the Zuo family. ”

Is there three of them?

[Since there are three of them, it seems that the remaining two are the guards of this son of the Zuo family, and it seems that this son of the Zuo family is not as arrogant as the outside world says. 】

Lin Zhewei took the old man's words to heart, and walked towards the conference hall with a faint smile.

After entering the door, Lin Zhe saw the three people sitting on the sofa, but these three people were a little unexpected by Lin Zhe.

Lin Zhe first recognized the man with a wide heart and a fat body sitting in the middle, that is, the temporary head of the Zuo family in the current demon capital, commonly known as the son of the Zuo family.

He and the son of the Zuo family had studied together at the Imperial Academy of Magic, and they knew each other, which was nothing.

And the right hand of the son of the Zuo family is a girl with a cute appearance, which makes Lin Zhe a little puzzled, looking at the strong affection in the eyes of the two of them, there is no need to think that he also knows the relationship between this girl and the son of the Zuo family.

What really surprised Lin Zhe was the handsome man sitting on the left side of the son of the Zuo family, who seemed to have a relationship with this handsome man.

Although he was a little curious about why this handsome man came to the imperial capital from Yuquan City and even appeared here, Lin Zhe quickly shook his head and threw this thought out of his mind.

In Lin Zhe's opinion, this handsome man is just a small person, although he has a cheek that makes all men jealous, but the little man is just a small person after all, and it is not worth his attention.
