Chapter 1296: The Last Meal
readx;
Stepping on the morning sunlight pouring in through the window, Roddy pushed open the door to the dining room, and the sight inside the door stunned him. The restaurant in the main building of the Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info hadn't been so lively for a long time, and to the left of the long dining table, Bell was looking at a tablet, presumably reading an electronic newspaper. Next to him, Huck was slowly drinking milk and eating bread. Near the two of them, a few half-grown children were playing and playing, and if Horn was sitting at the head of the table, it would be almost like a picture of their brothers and their father dining together when they were children.
If there is any incongruity in this picture, it should be Hedrick sitting on the right-hand side. The man, who was well-dressed, looked like he had just returned from some aristocratic salon, threw a smile at Roddy, but instead of making the latter feel pleasant, he felt like he was being targeted by a poisonous snake.
Roddy snorted and walked to the center seat and sat down. The butler Helsing brought him breakfast, and Roddy stuffed the napkin into the collar of his body, and looked at Haydrik and said, "It's really rare, our Mr. Haydry will come to breakfast, is the sun coming from the northwest?" ”
The smile on Hedrick's face remained unchanged and he said, "Please, big brother." We're brothers, isn't it normal to have breakfast together once in a while? ”
"Oh? So you knew we were brothers, and I thought Mr. Hedrick had forgotten about that identity. Roddy took a sip of milk, grabbed a piece of bread and put it in his mouth. He was rude and almost at the opposite end of the spectrum with Hedrick.
Haydrik took a sip of his coffee very elegantly and said, "What do you mean, big brother?" ”
"What do you mean, I think you know better than anyone else, right?" Luo Di snorted: "Originally, I planned to come back at night to settle accounts with you, but since everyone is here now, then I will simply talk about it here together." ”
He looked at Bell and Huck as "second, third." You probably don't know yet, this Mr. Hedrick used to plan to murder a member of the family, and then colluded with Alexander, do you know what he has done recently? ”
"It's not easy, he's already hooked up with the federal government." Roddy slapped his palm on the table: "I thought that my father was gone, and you would at least remember that you were a member of Bethcord." I don't want you to contribute much to your family, but I don't want you to have such a lot of contact with federal officials in this situation. In just one week, you've had several secret meetings with several officials, including Guffin, the head of the Intelligence Division! ”
Hydrick's face did not change, and he spread his hands and said: "So what, it's just normal communication, big brother, you are too sensitive." ”
"To hell with your words!" Luo Di took out a voice recorder from his pocket, threw it on the table and said, "This is the content of your conversation with Ge Fen, do you want the second and third children to listen to it?" ”
Haydrik finally changed color: "Big brother, you let people spy on me?" ”
"It's a good thing I did, otherwise I wouldn't have known that you betrayed the family and betrayed me again!" Luo Di snorted: "I said how the last few negotiations with the Federation, the other party seems to have figured out our hole cards, it turns out that you leaked the secret." Heidrick, do you still think you are Bethcord? ”
Hedrick took the case: "It's not that I didn't think I was a member of Bethcord, but that you, including my father, didn't think I was a part of this family!" Since you treated me like this first, what is wrong with me doing this! And big brother, at such a time, it is no good to work against the Federation! ”
"Fart!" Roddy couldn't help but roar.
This made several children in the restaurant cry in fright, and the housekeeper of Helsing hurriedly asked the children to be taken away, and Luo Di continued: "I think you have left Bescord's pride behind, I am wrong about you." I was expecting you to get back on the right path, but you're going further and further down the wrong path! ”
"I don't think I'm on the wrong track, it's just what you think you're wrong!"
"Very well, Mr. Hedrick, you are still so eloquent." Luo Di sat down suddenly, and said indifferently: "It's a pity that I don't have time to argue with you, I will officially inform you now." Hedrick, from this moment on you must stay in the castle for me, as long as you take a step out of the castle. Trust me, I'll break your leg myself. ”
Hedrick's handsome face turned red: "Roddy, you are not qualified to restrict my personal freedom!" ”
"I have, as long as I sit in this position as the head of the family, I have this qualification."
Haydrik yelled and left the dining room in a rage.
The third bell put down the tablet at this time and said quietly: "I thought you would execute him." ”
"When I got these things, I did want to." Roddy shook the recorder, then sighed, "But we are brothers after all, and my father is gone." I don't want to do that if I can, it's his last chance......"
Bell stood up: "I'm done eating, and I have to rush to the surface, so I won't accompany you." ”
"How's the transfer going?" Roddy asked casually.
Bell nodded and said, "Everything is going well, our important assets, including the Demon Martial Arts Factory or something, have been secretly transferred to the Thirteenth District. Now that our companies and factories on the surface are just empty shells, the Federation will probably be disappointed if they have any idea of them. ”
"Well done, let's start evacuating the residents of Lewin and relocating them to District 13. There are also the workers and guards of the castle, and I will gradually evacuate them. Now the guy sitting in the White House president's office is an impostor, and I don't know what he's going to do, but safety comes first. ”
Bell raised his hand to support the glasses on the bridge of his nose: "What exactly do you plan to do about this?" Don't you debunk the true face of that impostor? ”
"This matter is too important, how can you act casually. Today's meeting with the heads of the major families is just to discuss, and finally make a decision, and this matter cannot be delayed any longer. ”
"Alright then, let me know if there's anything new."
After Bell left, Roddy looked at his other brother: "Huck ......"
Huck looked up and coughed, asking, "Do you want me to evacuate?" ”
Roddy nodded.
Huck laughed, "What, are you afraid that I'll be a burden to you?" ”
"Don't say that, brother." Luo Di shook his head and said, "You have never been a burden to anyone, even if you can't fight for the family because of your body. But we have all seen your contribution to the family's finances over the years. You are an important person to us, and because of this, you need to evacuate early. ”
"I'm glad you said that, Roddy." Huck looked up at the ceiling and said, "Do you remember?" When we were younger, we used to play hide-and-seek in this restaurant, and every time I hid at my father's feet, and every time you couldn't find me. I'm not like you, Roddy, brave and strong. Nor like Bell, calm and composed. Not to mention the cleverness and ability of Hedrick, among our brothers, I was actually a coward, and I could only hold on to my father. ”
"But now my father is gone...... Huck said, bowing his head, "so I think I should learn to be strong and brave." I want to stay in the castle and I won't leave as long as the castle is still there. Because I am Bethcord, even the most useless one, let others know that we Bethcord will not back down. ”
Roddy's eyes lit up, and he laughed and said, "Since you say so, then I won't force it." But by the time I'm about to slip away, Huck, I'll take you away even if I stun you. ”
"We'll talk about it then." Huck smiled faintly.
After breakfast, as he left the restaurant, Roddy glanced at the already empty restaurant. He thought to himself that this would probably be the last time the brothers would have breakfast together, and sighed softly in his heart. When he turned around again, the melancholy on Roddy's face had been swept away, and a sharp and hard aura emanated from him again, and he strode out of the castle and into the flying car that had been prepared for him in the morning.
The three cars left the castle, and in one of the castle's windows, Hedrick watched them leave with resentment.
The car drove away from the castle, leaving the town of Lewin behind and onto the road to central Babylon. The road was quiet, and on this quiet morning, only the three flying cars of Roddy were driving on the road. A few kilometers away from the central city, Roddy, who was in the car, received a video call.
A screen descended in front of Roddy's eyes, and in the screen was the figure of Alain, who nodded at Roddy and said, "Good morning, Mr. Roddy." ”
"It's really early, Your Excellency, at this time I thought you were still sleeping on the bed with a woman in your arms." Roddy said with a grin.
Alan shook his head and said, "I think, but it's a pity that I'm busy with affairs, so I can't afford to be lazy." Alright, Mr. Roddy, let's get straight to the point. I know there's something in your hands at Windsor Bello, and I want you to give it back to me. If you're willing to do so, I guarantee that Bethcord will remain where he is now, and that the Federation will fully support you, and I think promotion to the Giants is just around the corner. ”
Luo Di narrowed his eyes: "Mr. President, you say this is equivalent to admitting your identity." ”
"Mr. Roddy, is identity that important? Am I a Mobile or someone else, do you think it's that important to the Commonwealth, to the people of this city? Alain shook his head and said, "No, it doesn't matter who I am. What matters is what I can bring to them, and that's what matters. Like at this moment, will Mobile support you Bethcord? He won't, but I will! ”
