Windy City, Main Street.

In second place in the convoy homecoming was an equally ornate carriage.

"How's it going? wouldn't it be troublesome?" Lin Ke hurriedly asked as soon as she got into the carriage, she didn't care what Lin Ke did, she only cared if he would be punished.

Lin Ke glanced at Lilith, the girl who was sitting quietly in the corner of the wide carriage that originally belonged to Ellie, she was obviously a little unable to adapt to the current environment and rhythm, but she was stubbornly reluctant to speak first, "There won't be any big trouble, it's really a big deal, it's grounding, you know, that's really nothing to me," Lin Ke smiled brightly at Xue'er but saw the latter pouting disdainfully, obviously not agreeing with his words, which made him a little embarrassed.

"Lilith, my name is Cohen, Cohen Mutes," Linko was the first to express kindness, but the girl nodded in response, feeling that he already knew her name, so she didn't need to repeat it.

Lin Ke smiled awkwardly, the atmosphere in the carriage made him a little difficult to control at the moment, but then his expression became serious and said, "Do you know what to do next? If you regret it now, I still have time to provide some limited help." ”

"Sign a contract, take on some obligations, enjoy some rights," Lilith surprised Linko with understanding, but what was even more incredible was her indifference.

"I must remind you that that contract is probably much harsher than you imagined, I think you need to think clearly, you have the strength of the fourth order of bear power, unlike those servants who have signed contracts with major families since childhood, you have a choice," Lin Ke was a little puzzled and a little distressed.

"There's no choice," Lilith glanced up at Lin Ke and lowered her head again, her crisp voice was just a bit of depression, "I've seen too many people who want to rely on their own strength to break through the sky but end up drinking too much, and I've seen too many people who are still oppressed to the point of ruin even if they have not weak strength, they are all civilians with strong talents, all they lack is a family that can be relied on, this is not fair, but we can't find fairness," she added after a pause, This is a world of aristocracy. ”

Lilith's eyes were indifferent and pitiful, and even Cher, who was sitting next to her, looked back at her for the first time.

Some things in this world are sometimes cruel and desperate.

No one wants to be kneaded by others as a commodity, and no one is willing to bury their dignity as a slave, but this cruel world sometimes makes people have to bow their heads, because bowing their heads sometimes makes them live better.

Lin Ke Moran.

He knew that she had a younger brother.

――――――――――――――――――――

"I already know about Cohen," Rhine poured a cup of tea for the second elder Sandy in the small courtyard, and said apologetically, "He is really a little willful, although it is a trivial matter in the eyes of some big people, but it is time to teach him some lessons." ”

"On the contrary," the second elder let out a long sigh, "Cohen is also the child I watched grow up, but I never knew that he was not as willful and reckless as I imagined," he said with a smile after taking a sip of the full cup of tea, and let out a comfortable breath. If he had no idea about the situation of the family and the reactions of the major families, I think I would support you in teaching him a harsh lesson, but when I knew that he could clearly know what he was doing and what he would lose by making such a choice, he could still stick to his choice, I could hardly help but laugh out loud, "The second elder laughed, which surprised Rhine, "Big brother, can you still remember what you were doing when you were fourteen years old?" He stood up with a smile and staggered away, as if he had drunk too much wine, "He is calm and gentle and polite, his eyes are clear and clear, he said that he wants to be obscure, he knows the family feelings, big brother, God bless me with the successor of my Mutes family...... My old Sandy completely lost his eyes this time...... Haha, it's still the old seven who have a unique vision......"

Sandy just staggered away.

Rhine stood alone in the courtyard for a long time.

He thought of his seven sons who had died in battle.

Thinking of the stubborn man who is still on the front line at this moment, maybe still bloody and killing the enemy, but always refuses to bow his head.

Cohen comes to mind.

He picked up the teapot and grunted at the spout, took a few big sips, threw his beloved teapot into the corner of the wall, smashed it, wiped the corner of his mouth, and made a decision in his heart.

He had to be taught a hard lesson.

――――――――――――――――――――

Windy City, in a well-guarded family chamber.

Several figures sat around a small round table.

There was a long silence.

If Linko had been here, he would have recognized two acquaintances, Locke and Daley.

"Are you mistaken?" sat an old man in good spirits, "you said that old guy Sandy never really got angry?"

"Yes father," Locke looked unusually respectful in front of the old man, "even if I pointed the finger at Cohen, he only expressed his displeasure and did not reveal anything else. ”

"It shouldn't be...... the old man fell into deep thought, one hand on the table, and his fingertips unconsciously tapped on the table to make a clicking sound, "Since Cohen is still alive and well, and there is news from the inside that Vic's idiot has been confined, that is, the old immortals of Rhine have discovered and stopped that thing immediately, then there is no reason why they should not say something, this is too inconsistent with the personality of Rhine, or what are they planning......? Is there anything I didn't think of?"

Locke and Daley listened quietly to the old man's muttering to himself, but no one dared to interrupt him.

Windy City, inside the Fili family's secret chamber.

"What about Cohen, if the old fox Sandy can hide the family's intentions well, then what about Cohen?" the old man asked suddenly.

"He doesn't show anything unusual," Locke said hesitantly, "perhaps...... Maybe he's not qualified enough to know something......"

The old man glanced at Locke lightly, which made the latter shudder a little, and he looked at Daley, who was speechless, "You have contacted him twice after that thing failed, do you have any special feelings?"

Daley looked down and thought for a moment, "If I have to say anything different from before, it's that he's getting a little difficult," his thoughts began to become clear as he said something," Although he didn't have much contact with him before, he felt like a blank piece of paper, which he could see through at a glance, and he didn't say much, but every sentence was pure and simple, but now he is very different, he can be skillful in pretending, or he can calmly point to the deer as a horse, and even I, who have participated twice, have to be a little nervous in the face of the high-profile scene of the high platform test, but he can deal with it calmly," Daley carefully glanced at the old man's expression before continuing, " If I hadn't known he was an only child, I would have almost suspected that it was just a twin brother who looked like him. ”

"Hmph, is it possible to change the soul? It's just a small means to hide and defile himself, the Rhine entry dragon power can enjoy a life span of three hundred years, and now it is just over a hundred, at least one hundred and fifty years of good life can protect the Mutes family, the original rise is almost a doomed thing that no one can change, but God has asked for the lives of his seven sons in a row, and the only one left is probably already in someone's mind, ha, it's very interesting. ”

"But the third generation of the Mutes family has produced a Cohen, a fourteen-year-old Xiong Li third-order spellcaster, with terrifying talents, father, so when Rhine is old, I'm afraid this Cohen will already be able to take over!" Locke was a little anxious.

"Ridiculous! After living for such a long age, there are still fewer geniuses you have ever seen?How many dragon power realm powerhouses are there in this world?" The old man was not in a hurry at all, "Cultivation is not a master, if you don't really go to that point, who can say for sure?" Then he seemed to think of something, "It's this fourteen-year-old hairy boy who has such a city government......" The old man fell into contemplation again, and the secret room was silent again, for a long time, the old man tapped his fingers on the table, and his eyes flashed with danger, "If you don't die by fighting snakes, you will leave a disaster......"

――――――――――――――――――――

Linko was whipped.

Serena rushed back as soon as possible, but she didn't have time to stop Rhine's order, and she almost burst into tears when she saw her son's back in a mess.

She never contradicts Rhine in matters of family rules.

At this time, there were only two of them in Lin Ke's room, mother and son, and Cher and Lilith outside, Ellie was taken by Serena to "train" during this time, probably not very comfortable, this time it was easy to meet Cher again, and she was chatting in a low voice, but Cher obviously didn't have the heart to talk to her a little absent-mindedly.

"Mom, there are a lot of people under Grandpa who have strange skills. ”

"What kind of ability, the ability to beat people?!" Serena was somewhat resentful.

"I asked Sister Xue'er to help take a look at the mirror, tsk, it's really a good craft," Lin Keshen mysteriously lowered his voice, "Don't look at my back looks hideous, in fact, it doesn't hurt at all, destroying skin tissue while bypassing important pain nerves, it's really amazing!"

"What a mess, I don't know where I learned those strange words, this looks like flesh and blood are blurry, it's strange if it doesn't hurt," Serena wanted to touch it with her hand, but she was afraid that it would hurt Linko, and it was not a touch if she stretched out a hand in the air and touched it.

"I know why grandpa beat me this time, it's not a trick to act a full set of acts and collect people's hearts," Lin Ke's voice was still not high, "I'm a little annoyed that I'm willful, it's better to whip up, it's easier than being grounded, I still have to go to Mr. Fisher's to listen to the class, he only stayed in the Windy City for three months, and the opportunity is rare." ”

Serena looked at Lin Ke fixedly, this son made her a little strange, she felt a little sad in her heart, she really cared too little about him, he had grown up when she was completely unaware.

"You've grown up son," Serena stroked Rinko's hair, "but it's a good thing that you can't go hunting in Arashiyama, and although I agree with you to go out and play, Arashiyama isn't close to Windy City after all, so what if something happens?"

"That's not good, I've already promised Daisy, at most it's a two-day rest, grandpa's people are measured, and they have sent good healing medicine, it won't be long before I can be alive again, and I just broke through to the second order of Xiong Li and forcibly broke through the third order of Xiong Li, the foundation is somewhat vain, on the one hand, I went out to hunt on the one hand, I should hurry up and play before going to the imperial capital, and on the other hand, I also slowed down the pace of cultivation and adapted to the current strength. ”

"Okay. It's getting sharper and sharper, my son. ”
