Ralveen Forest Manor, located in the southwest of Dragon City, is a huge property covering an area of tens of square kilometers. As the name suggests, the area consists of a large forest, a hill, a small river that crosses it in the middle, a castle and several manors scattered throughout.

Unlike the utilitarian style of many modern up-and-coming families, the Fabregas family still maintains an old, nostalgic tradition. The castle and manor house are quaint, and many decorations and accessories are collected from various ruins, which are authentic from the old era. The food at the estate is no exception, with smoked meat and wine still made in old-fashioned ways.

The small river that crosses the territory is channeled into an artificial lake, and a branch river surrounds the castle. In this day and age, of course, this has no defensive meaning, but more of a decorative role.

In the whole area of Ralven Forest, there is no new age industry to be seen, it is completely like the village life of the eighteenth century in the old era, and time seems to be dozing in the shade of the trees and by the river, and everything is so quiet and slow.

In the upper reaches of the river, there is a trace of this era, where a water purification plant representing the new era of science and technology is built, the milky white wavy dome covers the kilometer-long section of the river, and under the dome with a dreamy color, there are rows of water purification equipment, neat and grand. On the one hand, it supplies the pure water that the entire Ralven Forest Estate needs, and on the other hand, it ensures that the water flowing into the castle moat and the artificial lake is clean, of course, it is not possible to reach the level of complete radiation, but at least it can be enough for an ordinary person to swim in it. The ordinary people here refer to the standards of the old era, and after more than 50 years of development, the ability of human beings to resist radiation has been significantly improved. Of course, the price may be mutated tissues, or altered genes. In any case, this water purification plant represents the Fabregas family's handiwork and financial resources. As the water flows out of the Ralveen Forest area, the water quality gradually decreases as more radioactive material is absorbed along the way. However, on both sides of the river, where the water is still drinkable, it can be said that it is full of life, and the density of various organisms is several times that of other areas.

There is a paved road that connects Ralven Forest Manor to Dragon City. In fact, the Fabregas family is not known for its military strength, and there are few people in the family who have outstanding combat talents, Ricardo is already outstanding, but compared with the Arthur family that has produced Persephone and Oberen, and the William family who has a calm and deep Ludendorff, it is still more than a step behind. The Fabregas family, inherited from the old era, has the advantage of being old enough and maintaining a minimum of prosperity in each generation, and now, in terms of the number of children in the family above the average level, the centripetal force within the family, and the loyalty of the children of each line to the family, it will never lose to the three giants.

The person who is connected by blood is the greatest wealth of the family. This is the creed of Fabregas Sr., and the fundamental reason why he will protect the honor of his family at all costs. Only by giving the children of the family a visible future and protecting them as much as possible will they remain loyal to the family and the bonds of blood will be strengthened. In fact, the elder Fabregas, who had gone through sixty-five years, never believed in loyalty without reason and without price.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, the elder Fabregas was a thin, handsome old man, with an eagle-like nose and deep-set eyes that adorned a stubborn and wise countenance. Holding a glass of the estate's own red wine, he looked through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the calm and tranquil water and exquisite garden below.

Vast radiant clouds hang in the sky, reflecting the castle and gardens as if they were in a fairy tale, day and night, as if they were in the Eternal City. It's deadly beauty, and it's only when the wind has gathered enough radiation clouds that it can only appear with such a beautiful glow similar to the aurora. Whenever this light appeared, most of the creatures in the forest would hide in their nests to hide from the radiation that had risen several times in concentration, and only those mutated creatures that depended on radiation would rejoice and run from their perches to the clearing to enjoy the scorching light.

Most people in the new age still can't resist the glow of radiation clouds unprotected, but every building in Ralven Forest Manor is fully protected and cared for in any room, even if it's a newborn baby. Ralvin Estate has its own meteorological monitoring system that accurately forecasts and monitors harmful environmental changes. At such a moment, people who dare to be outdoors naturally have the ability or equipment to protect themselves.

This vast area of tens of kilometers, which has undergone decades of meticulous management and continuous construction, can be said to be a symbol of the Fabregas family's wealth accumulation over the past 100 years, and it is by no means a feat that any nouveau riche can accomplish overnight.

Fabregas Sr. looked at this qiē proudly, although he was old, his physical condition was definitely not as old as his age. In the family's biochemical chamber, a breakthrough has been made in anti-aging agents, which can be synthesized in a small amount through the synthesis of the chamber to obtain a small amount of stable and effective agents. This, of course, was very expensive, and in addition to the large amount of raw materials that were extremely difficult to obtain, the uncontrollability of the synthesis reaction was still an unsolvable problem, and the low success rate made the agent far from mass-produced, but it was enough for old Fabregas. For him, what matters now is whether there is or not, whether it is expensive or not is not a question at all.

In the twenty years since he became patriarch, the strength of the family has been steadily expanding, no matter what the period, Fabregas is not the fastest growing family, but it is definitely the most stable, and at any time, the expansion of the family and the accumulation of wealth have not stopped. Over the past two decades, Fabregas Sr. has watched the rise and fall of too many other families, and has watched with great relief. In his hands, the comprehensive strength of the family has become a force second only to the three giants, and in his body that is not young on the surface, there is also a very strong heart.

Fabregas the Elder had great ambitions, to the point of extending the Boundary Monument of Ralvin Manor to the East Coast, encompassing the entire Dragon City and even the Bloodbelly Council Residence. Now his only regret is that there has not been a stunning genius among the many children of the family, but he is not in a hurry, and he is not too worried. In his opinion, the role played by a genius is not as great as ten young people who can only be evaluated as outstanding, and he always believes that as long as the bloodline of the family is prosperous enough and the number of children is enough, sooner or later a genius will be produced.

The only thing that has given old Fabregas a bit of a headache lately is Sue, the Sue who can't seem to be killed. However, although the family's reputation has been tarnished after the First World War at the training base, and there seems to be something wrong with the unity within the family, such as Ricardo, who refused to fight. However, he has no complaints about the current situation. Ricardo is the grandson of Fabregas Sr. and the person he values the most. In Ricardo, Fabregas Sr. saw a quality he needed. As for Sue, from the current point of view, his immortality is even greater than death.

The sky-high cost of Sue's treatment made him look sideways, and it easily dragged down Persephone's finances. Fabregas Sr. only used a small trick to put Persephone, whose assets were frozen and who had lost the support of her family, into a desperate situation.

He counted all the possibilities, including the expectation that Oberion would still support his sister at the most critical time, but Oberen, who had no access to the family's resources, could play a very limited role. The Arthur family had declared that they would no longer support Persephone, and had already received considerable benefits from themselves as compensation, so even Oberen, who had just taken over the patriarch's power, could not openly break the family's promises. The reputation of an ancient family, on the one hand, is the cornerstone of prosperity, and on the other hand, it can also become a chain that binds hands and feet. Oberen was too young and idealistic to understand that a promise could be broken when the gains were big enough, or when the enemy was weakened enough. 政zhì is 政zhì, and the wisdom of 政zhì takes time to accumulate, and genius is not suitable for this field.

Sue's body still needs at least ten sticks of 2101, a cost that Oberen can never afford. Fabregas Sr. had already checked his finances, and the private money in his name was enough for a branch of 2101 at most, and even if he raised personal finance, Oberen, who had a shallow foundation, would not be able to raise such a large amount of money. Only then will Persephone fall into the real desperation. When she is cornered, she either gives up on Sue or succumbs to the demands of her debtors. And all the terms proposed by the debtor, the part of the rights to Persephone's flesh, had in fact been secretly bought by Fabregas the Elder.

The thought of Persephone's body full of explosive power wrapped under the seemingly very orthodox and elegant suit, old Fabregas couldn't help but get excited, and his body also changed, and a high protrusion rose on the nightgown, which was not at all like the hardness and volume that a sixty-five-year-old man should have. In his opinion, as long as he got Persephone, all the price was actually worth it. If it weren't for the lure of Persephone, he wouldn't have painstakingly laid down such a complicated and obscure game. Of course, things are now going completely better than he could have imagined. In his original plan, it would take at least a year or so to ambush a female general who was financially bankrupt and had lost her family's support. But he didn't expect that Sue would need such an astonishing cost of treatment, and Persephone actually paid for it.

When Pastéphone and Sue were seen, Fabregas Sr.'s discerning eyes were keenly aware of the strangeness in the way she looked at Sue, and Perhavia herself was perhaps unaware of it. The situation then developed exactly as he expected, even better than he expected, and it seemed that Persephone was already in the mud and could not get out.

Of course, he is not in a hurry to close the net now, and patience is the cornerstone of Yiqiē's success. Judging from the current situation, it is difficult for Persephone to obtain a new source of funds, as long as it takes a few more days, although Su, who does not get 2101, will not be able to die, but he will not be able to recover his previous abilities, and most of them will become a useless waste. And Persephone will still be crushed by debt and will be a plaything from then on. Even if she just gave her body once or twice for short-term financing, that's a good thing. As long as there is a beginning, there will be an endless follow-up.

At the thought of the future dinner party with Persephone as the protagonist and containing various themes, the blood flow of old Fabregas began to accelerate again, and his lower body began to swell and ache instead of pleasure.

"Hmph, the political zhì is the means to control a qiē! The general of the Dark Dragoon is ultimately nothing more than a tool used by the government. Looking out the window at the rainbow-like radiant light, Fabregas Sr. thought to himself.

Looking out of the floor-to-ceiling windows in front of him, beyond the gardens and the vast artificial lake, is the quaint gate, outside which looks like a new road zigzag to the Dragon City. The expensive road is also a symbol of the Fabregas family's strength.

However, in the distant darkness, a little white light suddenly lit up, and against the background of the darkness and the seven-colored brilliant light in the sky, this white light was very dazzling, and pierced the pupils of old Fabregas. He has never been known for his physical strength and combat ability, but the enhancement of his basic body functions has still reached the level of the third order, which of course includes eyesight.

He could already see that the white light was actually two dazzling clusters of headlights, which looked like one point, but because they were too close together. The light made old Fabregas very uncomfortable, and he felt that the light was full of noise and provocation. At the same time, he was very curious why he had not received any reports of anomalies, the tranquility and calm of the Ralvin Forest Manor were of course only superficial, and there was a perfect warning system within a radius of five kilometers outside the castle, so why such an obvious discordant visitor was not hindered and interrogated on the road.

He quietly pressed the ring on his hand, and a soft female voice immediately sounded in the room: "What do you command?" ”

"Activate the highest level of alert and put all the armed men on standby, it looks like we have guests coming tonight. Also, bring me a set of clothes, and ask for formal wear. ”

"Yes, master." The female voice replied softly.

As he spoke, the white light in the distance had expanded a lot, and old Fabregas could already make out that it was actually two rows of headlights, and in terms of brightness and specifications, it didn't look like an ordinary off-road vehicle. The car was so fast that it looked like it would take less than a minute to reach the gates of Ralveen Castle.

Although the floor-to-ceiling windows of the room effectively block out the noise outside, the vibration of the glass can still feel the power and arrogance of the incoming vehicle's engine.

Under the service of two girls who were at most eighteen years old, Fabregas Sr. began to change his clothes calmly. However, his composure was completely shattered in an instant, and at this distance, he could clearly see that it was actually two main battle vehicles rushing towards him!

And the chariot did not slow down at all, and actually rushed directly to the gate of the castle, even through the floor-to-ceiling windows, old Fabregas could hear the loud bang, and watched two centuries-old openwork black lacquered iron gates were knocked into the air, crossing a distance of tens of meters, and finally drew a high parabola and fell into the artificial lake, causing a large splash.

The main chariot continued to rush forward, its thick, sturdy tires mercilessly crushing the manicured garden lawn into the dirt, and they rounded the artificial lake and drove a road directly into the garden, before finally stopping in front of the castle, their engines still roaring arrogantly.

Old Fabregas's face turned pale, and his hands trembled involuntarily. He didn't understand, what were the soldiers guarding the castle doing, were the anti-aircraft machine guns scattered in the four firing points on both sides of the gate just decorations? Although the anti-aircraft machine gun cannot pose a threat to the main combat vehicle, this is by no means a reason not to fire a shot, and as the base camp of the Fabregas family, the appearance of not being defended is only to create the atmosphere of life in the old days, the reality is that the castle's three-dimensional defense system is designed by tactical experts, even more meticulous than some large companies, and the equipment configuration even includes all kinds of missiles, both air and ground. What are the two main combat vehicles?

But when the chariot turned off the bright and dazzling lights in front of the chariot, old Fabregas saw the figure standing on the roof of the chariot. The hideous and terrifying heavy armor, the powerful prison killing, and the long pale gray hair like his signature all reminded him of that person, the girl who rose like a comet by the Spider Empress's side, and was known for her unrivaled peerless appearance and terrifying methods.

Even Persephone, who has a reputation for madness, would not openly slap the Fabregas family in such a visit.

But Medirli is different, she can do anything.
