"Hey, you, what about you, come over and take a hand, move this to the front yard, quick!"

Hinterland City, today is a special day, the sixteenth birthday of the richest man in the city, the pearl of the Stephen family, there is no greater festival than this, inviting the rich family throughout the whole process.

In the exquisite courtyard, the housekeeper was arranging today's screen, obviously there were not enough people, so he grabbed the strong man casually.

"Butler, I just finished moving the flower pots here, and I have a lot of soil on my body, but I don't dare to move these clean screens." The little guy was a little frightened when he heard this.

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that he was really busy, seeing that young man was covered in mud, how could he let him move these precious things, even so, he could not compensate his subordinates.

"Then what are you doing standing here, don't you go to the back kitchen to see if there is anything you can help, if I see you lazy here again, I will deduct your salary!"

"Yes, yes, I'll go to the back kitchen, I'll go." Saying that, he ran back in a panic.

The little guy looked extremely flustered, but under the mask he was extremely calm, as if just one mask had divided a person into two, the humble and lazy little guy, and the calm nobleman.

Kevin ran out of everyone's sight, patted the obvious but small amount of dirt on his body, and wandered in the deep cloister courtyard, never meeting a single person, almost everyone was concentrated in the front hall and back kitchen. He made a big circle and went to the atrium. A few flickered up the house, then into a room, and then lay down on the beam, squinting and dozing.

Time flew by, and when he opened his eyes again, it was already noon. At this time, the room was full of gifts, all of which were congratulatory gifts for the birthday feast, and there were two more guards outside the door. He waved his hands, took some effort, and then rolled over and landed. He's not good at magic enchantments, but he still has a few hands at the entry level, at least half a room in size, and it's not too difficult to isolate the sound of enchantments. Then he began to rummage through the pile of gifts, targeting the small pieces of value.

"Not bad, not bad" Kevin exclaimed from time to time like a child unpacking gifts. After hesitating left and right for a while, he finally chose three things, a frost flower, a jade jue and a pair of alchemy glasses, these three are all high-quality products, and they are also priceless treasures on the black market, at least the cost is guaranteed for a period of time.

Quietly withdrawing from the barrier, he approached the doorway, held his breath, opened the vial in his hand, and in just a few breaths, closed it again, and left through the window on the other side. This is a small potion that he prepares himself, the effect is very simple, it is to make people temporarily lose their five senses, according to the different doses, the length of time is also different, in general, the time will not exceed five minutes, if you meet a real strong person, this magic potion is even difficult to work, but at this time, it is enough to deal with the two warriors guarding the door. Carefully close the dark window that had been left for a long time, and he wandered around the mansion, of course, his wandering was superficial, and the background of the big family was profound, and it was not something he could do recklessly.

————————————————————————————————

In the dimly lit study, the old man sipping fragrant tea and flipping through ancient scrolls, this is how he has spent his time for many years, even on the night of his granddaughter's sixteenth birthday, there is nothing special, the front yard belongs to the hustle and bustle of young people, and has nothing to do with him.

"Child, you must know that it is not polite to spy on an old man like this."

In the shadow of the beam, a black shadow jumped down, it was Childe, it turned out that he did not leave, but entered the most dangerous or safest place, the old man had no guards around him, but that showed the horror of this old man even more.

"I'm sorry."

The old man put down the ancient scroll and glanced at the young man standing in the distance.

"I don't mind if I change my face, but when I come to see me, is this dress shabby, I thought it was my housekeeper."

"The important thing is that I'm here, isn't it?"

"Child, it's not that I look down on you, but for me, it's just a minor trouble."

"It's true that there are many kinds of roads, and I want to save a little time, you say?" Kevin bowed slightly.

"Elixir?" The old man chuckled with some disdain.

"Yes, yes, you may not be able to see it, right?"

"Really? As far as I know, there are two of them that I'm interested in. ”

"Of course, when you come to see the elders, how can you not bring some greeting gifts." The young master walked forward calmly and put the two bottles of potion on the old man's desk.

The old man smiled lightly, and the young master was calm and calm, without any excessive movements. And the old man didn't even lower his eyes, as if the young master had just put down only two bottles of cheap water.

"It seems that I was wrong, the courtesy of the son of the family is still there, but I am a businessman, and I have lived for all these years, and I may not have seen a lot of things about returning Li."

"It's just an appetizer, I didn't bring the real gift, but, old man, can you eat it? Or rather, do you dare to eat it? The young master's voice was gentle to the extreme, as if there was no hint of provocation.

"Hahahaha "It's not in vain for me."

"Oh, and of course thank you for the gift you gave me in return. That's what you prepared for me, and it would be rude not to take it. "The three things in that room are worth so much more than anything else that they can't possibly be there. At first, he had some doubts, and it was these doubts that brought him to this study.

"Hahahahaha" The old man laughed heartily again, and after a long time, he calmed down, but this time, there was no laughter, and the cold breath quietly shrouded the young master.

The young master still just stood there casually, as if he didn't feel the change in the atmosphere.

"People think they can keep it to themselves, but I don't have that confidence. I said, I'm a businessman, a businessman with many friends, and you can be one of them. ”

"Business is not my forte, and I would rather trade this spot for something else."

"For example?"

"Money, life, and a name."

"Child, I want to remind you, do you know what you are giving up? I have eaten most of your family's trade routes and shops, as long as you open your mouth, I will give you ten years, five years? You will be able to have a family that is not inferior to your father. ”

"Old man, please be considerate, I am just an impulsive young man, a young man who has been blinded by hatred to all sanity."

The cold breath in the room vanished, the old man squinted, and for the first time the conversation fell silent, for he needed some thought. When he knew that the boy had escaped from the game that should have died, he knew that there would be such a day, and all his preparations were to hasten the arrival of this day. He didn't have the complete confidence to resist the teenager stepping into his house. Anyone who stepped into his house, or even had contact with anyone in his family, would have made those people suspect that he had gotten the thing. In that case, it's better to be more open, have a calm conversation on a cozy night, and then really get something like that. As he said, he is a businessman, and using a knife and a gun is the last resort, and the hard work of his ancestors over the years has been whitewashed, but he does not dare to easily break the rules of his ancestors. Since he is a businessman, since he wants to get it, he naturally has to pay some price, but fortunately this is a smart young man, a very smart young man. What he didn't expect was that this conversation would become so interesting, and what was even more interesting was that this teenager, he was even a little jealous, a little regretful, so that there was such a conversation.

"Child, I guarantee with my family's life and death that your life and money will be duly protected."

"Thank you for your kindness, then, don't say goodbye."

"Slow, how can I say that I have a half-master friendship with your father, some people do things out of bounds and think that God is unaware. I don't need your trust because my promises never work. There are many ways to beat some people, and obviously my way is the safest, even if it takes a little longer. ”

"Thank you for your honesty, and thank you for taking care of the rest of my clan." The young man knew that the old man had taken over his family's shop, and it was impossible for all the people in the family to be concentrated in that mansion, and the old man's actions also showed that he had provided them with shelter, no matter what the starting point was, it was a kindness.

"But I don't need to bother, I just want to kill them." The young man's tone was still calm, without any murderous intent, as if he was just talking about eating and drinking, and then, with a bow, he slowly turned around and walked towards the darkness.

The old man shook his head and said to the young man's back, "You know, I always need to make a show, so there will be some people chasing you. ”

"From the moment you leave this study."

The young man who was carrying the old man on his back finally smiled and said happily, "Okay." ”
