Chapter 723: Tampering
This sentence was vague, but Brigadier General Baddam felt that his heart had been raised high again, and he had not been able to fall.
He looked coldly at Duke Marven, who had a calm expression: "What do you want to sue me?" β
"I'm not a soldier, I'm a nobleman. Of course, I know very well what you soldiers understand about the aristocracy. But I have to say it again: I am a nobleman. Because my ancestors were soldiers like you, and they have made great deeds that far surpass yours. Therefore, their nobility can be maintained until now, and it is up to me to inherit it. β
The Duke raised his head, looked up at the dark sky, and said lightly, "I am proud of my family name and family. This is completely different from your disdain. Hehe! Young people were tired of seeing an old man with a beautiful young girl in his arms, and the common people thought it was a sin for the nobles to sit in a top-notch restaurant and eat steak and caviar. And you soldiers, who think that we are not productive and have not contributed to the empire in the slightest. Therefore, each of you has the right to despise and hate us. Is that so? β
Badham let out a cold snort from his nostrils, silent in affirmation.
"You all think that the world is still the same without the nobility, and you all think that the nobility is a bunch of bloodsucking worms lying on the body of the empire. Look at the so-called poets and writers, almost all of them are ridiculed and ridiculed for the aristocracy. Almost every episode of the TV station's talk show has to use aristocrats to gag, otherwise, there will be no ratings at all. I can also tell you something that really happened to me. It was my youngest granddaughter, in second grade at Imperial Public School. She was surrounded and beaten by several of her classmates. Don't look at the little girls who are seven or eight years old, and they are ruthless. They had all been specially taught by adults beforehand to know what forces and methods to use without leaving bruises on the victims. They pricked my little granddaughter with needles, and they chose the most painful part of my little granddaughter's body, and threatened that my granddaughter would never sue her family, otherwise she would be even worse when she came to school tomorrow. Children have a natural fear of threats and compulsion. She covered it up so cleverly that even I didn't notice it until months afterwards. β
Badham became interested in the story of Duke Marvin and casually asked, "Oh! So how did you solve it? β
"It's a good thing to have money. A lot of people are willing to do all sorts of messy things for money. β
The Duke smiled faintly, his smile cold and eerie: "There has never been a seven-year-old child who can become a spy, and this kind of work can only be done by adults. I have to thank the ever-changing technology, especially biomedical technology, which can swap men and women, and can turn ugly guys into handsome men and women. I chose a guy who was willing to be loyal to me and had a minor operation on him. An old man in his forties has become a little boy about eight years old in just two months because of the atrophy of his bones and muscles. Doesn't it sound like something out of a horror movie? This is nothing more than the most specific manifestation of the scientific and technological development of imperial medicine. It only takes a few injections of bioatrophy agents to do this. Of course, the price is also amazing. β
Curious about the brain of Brigadier General Baddam, the tormentor, he couldn't help but ask: "What exactly do you want to do to turn an adult into a child?" Let him walk into the school with a knife and kill those little girls who **** your granddaughter? β
"That's the most brainless, brutal thug thing to do. To solve the problem, the aristocracy has its own way of aristocrats. Of course, you can't expect everyone's thinking logic to be perfect. But my family has always followed the principle of never doing it yourself. β
Brigadier General Baddam's previous unintentional inquiry made Duke Marven happy: "I must know the ins and outs of the matter. Everything has a reason, and there should be no conflict between a few little girls and my granddaughter. Even if there were, it shouldn't have led to such a tragic and crazy method of mutilation. This is obviously not something that just a few children can come up with. Behind this, you can see the shadow of an adult. The truth can only be known from the person concerned, so I sent this adult disguised as a boy into the school, faked his identity, turned him into a schoolboy, and made him close to the little ones who mutilated my granddaughter. β
"The rest is simpler. He became friends with those little girls, adults love money, and little girls are no exception. Chocolate and lollipops are the best keys to opening the crunch heart. Adults will warn children to stay away from strangers, especially if they meet an adult weird uncle on the street. But few parents tell their children to be careful with their classmates at school. That's something adults can never do. A handsome, well-dressed and well-talked, apparently well-educated, well-educated child, almost everyone will like. The law of opposites attracting, even when applied to underage children, works just as well. They may not know what love is. But they are instinctively confused by the charm unleashed by the excellent opposite sex. Hehe! This is the role of biological genes, and no one can escape it. β
Brigadier General Baddam felt a chill run down his back: "You, you said that you shrunk an adult man to a seven-year-old child just to sneak into the school and investigate the cause of your granddaughter's victimization?" β
"Isn't that excuse enough?"
The smile on Duke Marven's face that had just been released instantly shrank, and his expression became unusual: "Do you know what they did to my granddaughter?" Almost every day, steel needles are used to prick the armpits and lower body, as well as the head. These sites were chosen because of their concealed location, which allows them to cause severe pain without being noticeable from the outside world, and the bleeding spots are small. Especially the head, with the cover of hair, no one can see it. You can pluck out a hair yourself and see what it feels like. They stabbed it straight with the tip of a needle, and when my grandson screamed in pain, they stood by and laughed uncontrollably. β
"Why are they doing this?"
Brigadier General Baddam was incredulous: "You persecuted their families? Or is there something that poses a threat to their families? β
The duke's smile was unusually cold: "I have never seen these people. Not only me, but also my father and grandfather, my son and daughter, have never crossed paths with these people, and have not even heard their names. What's even more ridiculous is that the father of one of the girls, even when he was unemployed, received a charity fund from my son, and the amount of assistance was as high as five imperial gold coins. β
Baddam became more and more incredulous: "Why? This kind of thing doesn't make sense at all. β
"The reason is simple, just because I'm an aristocrat. Our whole family is aristocrats. β
Duke Marven raised his head and laughed, and his laughter was very bleak: "At that time, my thoughts were the same as you are now, and I couldn't find the root of it anyway. I don't understand why they did it. That's why I spared no expense and hired a guy who was willing to sacrifice his life for money. Undergoing that kind of reconstructive surgery has to pay a very heavy price. He only lived for a maximum of sixteen months, and the lucrative bounty was for his family. He became good friends with the four little girls, and the method of wooing one and then excluding the other seemed naΓ―ve to us, but it worked very well for children. Do you know what they say? Because you are the granddaughter of the duke, that is, the heir to the title in the future. This kind of luck and family background can never be obtained by ordinary people. And according to the normal order of succession, even if my granddaughter has the right to inherit, the ranking of the order must be far behind the male members of the other families. In other words, my granddaughter is a relatively wealthy ordinary person. But no matter what, behind her, there is also a grandfather who is a duke. β
Although Marven did not finish his words, Brigadier General Badam also understood the meaning to some extent. Jealousy and resentment, if only in adults, will only make people feel normal. But if it's a few kids......
"They think that **** a future duchess is a very enjoyable thing."
Duke Marven's voice was full of desolation: "Many years later, for example, when those little girls are adults and have children of their own, they can talk about the great achievements they have done in a very proud tone. Kicking a nobleman's ass with a shoe is not something that everyone has the chance. What's more, it was the granddaughter of a duke, a future heiress. β
The answer was similar to what Brigadier General Baddam had imagined, but he still found it incredulous: "Just because of this? β
"Don't you think that's enough?"
Marven turned around and looked at him with a gaze that had become flat: "Behind this matter, of course, there is the shadow of an adult. Although it was a lot of work to know the ins and outs, I knew the truth of the matter and why they did it. Hehe! This is hatred, the hatred of commoners for nobles. Every year, I devote tens of thousands of Imperial Gold coins to charity, and the number of poor people who donate by various means will not be less than 2,000 every year. From the time of my great-grandfather, my ancestors always taught us that we must do good within our means, and look at everything and everyone with love. I've done so much for them, and in the end, the harvest is a hatred that can never be resolved. β
"I could have done it in a more violent, brutal way to get to the bottom of the problem. But to do so would certainly be detrimental to my family's reputation. Many people never pay attention to the cause and effect of things, they just rely on their own way of thinking and understanding, and review the changes they need to make changes. Hehe! I could, of course, send someone to arrest the little girls and their families, or contact the school hierarchy and ask them to investigate the matter thoroughly. In doing so, there is no more benefit than to escalate the situation and get more people to pay attention to me, an "ugly aristocrat". Why bother? If it is a problem that can be solved with money, why should I be the target of other people's criticism, or even countless saliva? Since they all think that the aristocracy is the representative of evil, then I will simply be evil to the end, and let them experience the real fear. β
Baddam felt his nerves contract suddenly: "How did you do that?" β
This sincere surprise made Duke Marven feel very enjoyable, and he laughed, every wrinkle on his face seemed to be a carefully outlined line.
"I'm of course targeting the culprits, the parents of those children who taught their children to use vile means against my granddaughter. Every adult in the four families lost their jobs, and then they continued to encounter various problems, such as traffic accidents, or minor problems that were previously neglected at work, which were infinitely magnified, and then led to catastrophic consequences. The empire is a society governed by the rule of law, and since the damage has been caused, it must be compensated. He was fined heavily, detained and imprisoned, and his family was found to be seriously ill during a physical examination...... Hehe! Ruining a happy family is as simple as that. As long as you are richer than them and are willing to spend money to accumulate a lot of pain on them, then you don't need to do it yourself at all, and many people are willing to act as direct or indirect accomplices. Either they despaired of this squalid and dark society, and then lost all their possessions and jumped from the roofs of high-rise buildings, or they were sentenced to prison for various problems, or they were kicked out of their homes by the imperial government for failing to pay their fines, and everyone lived on the streets. No one has ever thought that this tragic fate is due to their own actions when they are unintentional, and they only feel that God is unfair to them, or that it is simply a mistake from others. β
"Do you think I'm making it up? Of course not. As the person behind the scenes, I have been following each and every one of them. I have never been afraid of the enemy, and if I have the courage to challenge, I must be prepared to bear the punishment of failure. It's not as simple as paying for a fine, and I'm not short of money, so just monetary compensation doesn't meet my requirements. Since they all believe that the nobility is the embodiment of evil, then I simply let them really feel the most direct revenge from evil. Elegant and dignified housewives are forced to **** in order to live, husbands with excellent character degenerate into thieves and robbers, and their parents, when they are wandering on the streets, the men are beaten to death by a group of beggars in turn for a piece of bread, and the women are infected with incurable deadly germs because of their dirty living environment. Don't worry, it's their turn to love the most, the little ones who pricked my granddaughter with needles. Any idea how I cleaned them up? The guy who went from an adult to a little boy didn't waste the little life he had left. Biomedical technology has transformed him into a very handsome person, and all four little girls are fascinated by him. Naturally, they began to be jealous of each other. One slashed a face with a knife, and the other knocked the other unconscious, cutting off the most important parts of her body. Frightened, the two little ones who made a big mistake fled together, only to be caught by an underground gang on the road, and one was cut off his hands and feet, and as a standard model for a natural disability, he was placed on the most prosperous streets of the empire every day to beg for money. The other one is more beautiful, and she has been cultivated by those people as a long-term investment. Although life is okay now, in the future, at the age of sixteen, or earlier, she will welcome the first man in her life with complete reluctance. Then, there is the second, the third, the fourth...... It also took until hundreds, thousands, or even far more than that, for her to truly atone for the sins she had committed. β
Brigadier General Baddam couldn't help but shudder. He was dressed thickly, and his military coat was perfectly protective from the cold wind. Despite this, Baddam still felt a little stiff and had difficulty moving his hands and feet. Of course, he could understand the meaning of Duke Marven's words, and he was also shocked by those cruel and cruel methods. As a soldier, Baddam himself had seen something even more bloody and cruel. But it was a war between Imperial soldiers and dark creatures. But now, the nobles and commoners have actually become like this.
"They're just a couple of kids, they're only seven years old."
Baddam's voice sounded like a moan: "You, is it necessary to do this? β
"Why not?"
Duke Marven stopped and looked at him with a very strange gaze: "Hatred can be said to be innate. Just like a mouse and a cat, a rabbit and an eagle, this inherently hostile relationship has emerged from the bloodline, that is, the day the genes are stored. No matter what you do, it's impossible to change it. Rats have always been food for cats, and they hate cats because of this, and the relationship between rabbits and eagles is the same, so when eagles hunt and then eat rabbits, they don't need to have pity at all, or even thoughts of sin and so on. It is precisely because of the social hierarchy of empires that civilization can continue. The civilians hated us, believing that we had taken away a piece of the land that belonged to them. But they never imagined that our ancestors were actually one of them. It's just that my ancestors were better than them, did more than others, worked harder, and sacrificed more blood and even their lives, so that I have the social status and wealth I have now. This is from the accumulation and inheritance of bloodline and spirit, without the contribution of predecessors, there will naturally be no enjoyment of future generations. Why do they compare themselves to me? They didn't do anything, but they wanted to enjoy it, to get the same thing as me. Do you think this kind of thing is logical? The commoners felt that the inheritance of property was a matter of course, but the extension of the title was hated by them. Just like your troops, your men, one who has achieved great results in battle, and the other who can't even hold a gun, will you give them the same treatment? What reason does the latter have to envy and hate the former? Is it because he can't get anything, nothing? "The enjoyment of posterity. Why do they compare themselves to me?
