Chapter 118: The Prologue of the Troubled Times (II)

Hermes Spaceport, Empire State Building.

The Empire State Building, located in the inner ring of the Hermes spaceport, is the tallest building in the space city of Hermes, it stands like a giant tower in the center of Hermes, and has become the symbol of the entire city and the entire northern star field.

At one time, the Osvid family owned most of the Hermes spaceport, and the Empire State Building was even designed and built by Ansair himself. And now, when the Osvid family resells their estate to Eugene? After Mellon, the space city of Hermes has been labeled as the Mellon family, but only this Empire State Building has been preserved, and it is still exclusive to Anse Air? Auschwid.

At this moment, on the top floor of the 1o2 floor, at the highest point of the Empire State Building, Anse El ? Osvid sat alone in the huge office of nearly 1,000 square meters, holding a glass of scarlet red wine, quietly looking out the window at the brightly lit Hermes.

This huge office is half the size of a football field, but the only thing on display in the office is a quaint nanmu desk, and nothing else.

Space is beauty, and it is clear that Ansair is expressing its own unique aesthetics.

The black steel floor with mysterious Gothic patterns, the curved dome resembling an old-time church, and the numerous openwork reliefs that dot the dome. The tone of the whole office is black, with only a few sparkling diamonds in relief, which is like a starry sky that humans swim in, revealing a yearning for infinite charm at all times.

Suddenly, the crisp footsteps came from far and near, leaving lingering echoes in this empty space.

"Eugene." Looking back at Eugene who was walking towards him? Mellon, standing by the huge floor-to-ceiling window, showed a warm smile: "It seems that it is indeed right to let you come forward, the matter should be solved perfectly, right?" ”

"It's solved, but it's not perfect." Eugene looked at the only chair in the entire office with some dissatisfaction, and sat down on the desk helplessly: "You should put a few more chairs, you can't let me stand every time." ”

"You should know why I did this, that unique trip ten years ago has so many memories for me. So, you'll understand, yes? Anse El poured Eugene a glass of red wine and put it down in Eugene's hand.

"That trip ......" Eugene shook his head with a wry smile, "yes, it was indeed an impressive memory, and I'm afraid I'll never forget it in my life." ”

Picking up the red wine in hand, Eugene and Anse El looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

Back when Eugene and Ansel were teenagers, their relationship wasn't as good as it is now. On the contrary, they are a pair of long-cherished enemies, a pair of long-cherished enemies who will never compromise with each other. But it all came to an end after an unexpected trip that changed their lives crucially.

Anse Elle? Osveld had a relationship with Eugene? Mellon attended the same college, but Ansel was the eldest son of the elderly Auswid II, and he was a generation apart from Ausveld II's eldest son. And Eugene? Mellon is the eldest son of Mellon III, so if in terms of generation, Eugene? Mellon would have to call Uncle Anse Air.

And the contradictions of their youth also arose because of this, they are the same arrogant and unruly. From the first day they met, they saw each other as lifelong rivals. So, they fought and enjoyed it almost every moment until they followed their elders and traveled to visit the distant and powerful Hoffman Empire.

The Hoffman Empire, Ansel, and Eugene still can't forget the impact that kingdom had on them.

The towers of Babel that are too high to look up at, the ornate coats of arms that represent the prominent status, the mysterious and beautiful natural scenery, and the supreme royal power that cannot be looked at directly......

There, the dignity and inferiority between people are so palpable. It was the most basic decree for the lowly to bow down to the noble, the nobles built towers, the commoners lived on the ground, and the slaves lived underground...... And so on, all the laws and regulations make the different divisions between people obvious. It was also there that Anse and Eugene saw the nobility of the nobility for the first time, and were forced to bow their proud heads and kneel at their feet.

For the sons of wealthy families like Anse Air and Eugene, humiliating themselves to bow down to others was an unbearable humiliation. But it also planted a seed of longing for supreme power in their hearts, and they began to yearn for the true aristocratic life.

In the Federation, the Ausvid family and the Mellon family, one of the ten most powerful families, are also the supreme nobles in the eyes of mortals. But because of the democratic system of the Federation, the title of 'nobility' is a joke.

In the federal country, which believes in the equality of all people, money is the only noble, and as the sons and daughters of wealthy families, they are only slaves of money, and it is by relying on money that they can put on the hypocritical cloak of aristocracy. Because of this, the children of wealthy families must be mindful of everything in their daily lives, and they must take public opinion and public image as their own code of conduct. Because only by conforming to the will of the people can they continue to have their current position and continue to firmly control their wealth in their hands.

Therefore, a federation as a democratic state can never have a true aristocracy. As they grew up, matured, and realized this, Anse and Eugene had a bold idea, and they decided to join forces to change the situation and create a new era.

So Ansel built the Empire State Building, which resembled the tall tower of the Hoffman Empire, in order to encourage himself, and even the style of this office was completely modeled after the private study of the nobleman in his memory. Eugene, on the other hand, painted the family coat of arms of the aristocracy, and after taking over the family power, began to manage his family members with cruel methods and strict family status like a real nobleman.

For ten years, they have been accumulating strength for their dreams. And now, they finally have the opportunity to touch the nobility at their fingertips.

Gently touched the wine glasses, and the moment they looked at each other, they had already seen the heat hidden deep in each other's eyes.

"Everything is going to change after tonight, gain or loss, and it's worth a toast." Anse El smiled and raised his glass to his lips.

"Yes, to become a true nobleman, or to lose everything or even lose your ......life," Eugene took a deep breath and drank his wine heroically: "This is the most important moment of our lives. ”

Smiling and drinking the wine in the glass, Ansel gently wiped the wine from the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand: "So...... Tell me about your gains, my dear friend. ”

"Everything is as you expected, Robin went to find Danding, the two sides fought, the fight was very exciting, and the strength has completely exceeded my expectations."

Eugene's first appearance near the bar was actually entirely arranged by Ansel, who had already judged that Robin would go to Danding. In his mind, if he were Robin, then he would definitely come into contact with this person who might threaten his position, eliminate or subdue him, and no matter what the outcome, Robin would definitely have such an contact with Dandin.

And the fact is that it did not work out as Ansel had predicted. However, the arrogant Danding does not seem to be willing to succumb to a fellow countryman like Robin, and the two sides have a fierce conflict, and if it were not for Eugene's intervention, it is likely that both will be defeated.

After listening to Eugene's narration at this moment, Anse El nodded with satisfaction: "This ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ]
