Chapter 123: Alice and Marwa (2)
Christie is a powerful family with operations all over the world, and because the family is mainly rooted in Tutlรกn, its influence in Tutlan is particularly far-reaching.
Whether it is the military and political worlds, or the white and black worlds, there is the shadow of the Christie family.
There are some clans and side branches in the Christie family, and the side branches are large and spread all over the country, but they are not qualified to serve as patriarchs, and their rights are extremely limited.
The choice of the patriarch has always been selected from the three clans, and every time the previous patriarch is over seventy years old, he will abdicate and choose a new one.
The method of choice is divided into two parts, the first part is about doing business and dealing with people, there are no too rigid rules, it mainly depends on what kind of achievements you can make in business, and what kind of alliance agreement you can reach with people in the military and political circles, and even in the gray and black world.
This kind of thing can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, so there is no standard.
The second part is about the content of force, in addition to doing well and big business, the patriarch candidate of each clan also needs to have his own force, without any protective wealth, just a lamb to be slaughtered.
It is indispensable and important to be able to fight, rob and kill armed personnel, but more importantly, it is necessary to have their own masters, masters with extraordinary strength.
Because in this world where individuals are more powerful, beheadings are not uncommon.
Because on the night of the current patriarch's seventieth birthday, the patriarch candidates of each clan must send their masters to compete in the ring for life and death, and only the candidate who wins the final victory can be regarded as winning this part of the victory.
The current patriarch of the Christie family is just over sixty-nine years old, and he is about to turn seventy, so the people below are beginning to be ready to move, and they are running and thinking for this position at the pinnacle of power.
Of course, the real confrontation actually began a few years ago, but as time approached, this kind of open and secret battle became more and more intense.
Alice's father's name is Dennis, the youngest brother of the current patriarch, and now he is in his forties, and he was in the prime of life, and he was originally one of the candidates for the patriarch, but his status in the family is actually not high, and he has been on the edge of the center of power, and there is no voice.
If it weren't for the fact that he was the favorite brother of the current patriarch, he wouldn't even have the status he has now, so once the current patriarch retires, then this Mr. Dennis's status and life will definitely plummet.
In addition, he was more arrogant and domineering when he was young, and he offended a lot of people, so as long as he loses power, someone will fall into the well against him at any time, and the new and old hatreds will take revenge together.
You must know that in this leafy and thriving family, there are countless people who want to climb up even if they break their heads, so for the sake of the future, Dennis also made plans early, and now he has hugged one of the candidates of the same clan.
He is provisionally ranked fourth among many candidates and is one of the strongest seeds.
"Everyone in the family knows that the father is the patriarch's favorite brother, but they don't know that this liking is only due to the fact that the father is not a threat and can artificially create a weakness." Alice sighed and said: "Father is the weakness that the patriarch deliberately put on the table to make others misunderstand, but how many people know that the patriarch actually doesn't care about his father's life and death.
Now, even if we take refuge in Uncle Raul, as long as he still has the patriarch label on him, there will always be people watching him. โ
"Now Raul's side lacks enough high-end combat power, so as long as we can find a way to cure Elder Yinhua, she will agree to stand on our side, and it can effectively supplement Raul's lack of strength." Marwa said.
"That's right, in this case, Raul will really agree to protect us, as long as he goes one step further and can really sit in the position of the patriarch, then we can rest easy in the future." Alice paused, raised her glass again and took a sip.
At this time, she thought of those ill-intentioned brothers, although they were both clansmen, but in fact, the blood relationship between them was not deep, and they all belonged to different candidates.
They had been spying on her for a long time, always trying to claim themselves for themselves.
You must know that these brothers are cold by nature, and their life behavior is even more unsightly, if they are really possessed by them, life will definitely be worse than death in the future, which she never wants to see.
If it weren't for the existence of the patriarch and Raul's skin now, which made them fearful, they would have taken action to rob themselves a long time ago.
Although they are all members of the Christie family and are so-called upper-class people, what they do when they tear their faces is often more barbaric than that of barbarians.
"Sister Marwa, have you found out where this group of people came from?" Alice turned her face to the left, looked at the scenery outside the window, and asked lightly with her hand on her cheek.
They snatched the things, and I don't know if there is a chance to get them back.
It's just a transaction, who to trade with is not a transaction, Alice thought silently in her heart.
"I'm sorry, I didn't track it down." Marwa shook her head and said, "The traces of the scene have been destroyed by the battle, and the other party has even wiped out the footprints, and we haven't gotten much information.
It's just that on a building about a few dozen meters away from the parking lot, there is a strange corpse that has been charred, because it has been changed beyond recognition, and even the clothes have turned to ashes, so there is no way to judge the identity of the corpse, I can only speculate that he may also be a member of the Blood Martial Alliance. โ
Outside the bedroom is a beautiful garden with many different varieties of flowers and many old trees.
At this time, two gardeners are walking back and forth below, carefully tending to these delicate plants.
Alice's bedroom is on the third floor, so you can clearly see the garden through the window.
Alice stared intently out the window, at the garden, silent as if out of the world.
With a worried look on her face, Marwa picked up the teapot again and filled Alice's cup.
"Alice ......"
"Sister Marwa." Alice's eyes were still looking out the window, her lips opened slightly, and a voice came out of her mouth: "How is Scola doing now?" โ
"Scola? Hum! Hearing Alice mention Scola, Marwa snorted coldly, with a look of disgust on her face, obviously very unkind to Scola as a person.
"This guy is really lucky, so many people died that night, but he survived alone, of course, and his old housekeeper, but this guy was not lightly injured, it seems that after the car collided, it was hit by the battle outside again, and the car was damaged again, so this unlucky ghost who stayed in the car was injured twice.
Although he snatched his life back through surgery, he didn't know when he would wake up, and he was in a coma for the past two days. โ
Marwa glanced at Alice and continued.
"If you want to know more from his mouth, you'll probably have to wait a little longer."
Alice just nodded and said no more.
