Chapter 307: Master
One?? Perikles was depressed, almost depressed and about to explode.
Although he does not have a title, it does not mean that Perikles' status is not high, in fact, his Berkeley family currently has two counts, seven viscounts and double-digit barons, and there are countless lords and knights, and the reason why he does not have a title is precisely to seek the strength of the family, after all, as the patriarch of the family, sometimes the interests of the whole family are far more important than his personal interests.
Moreover, he did not really gain nothing by doing this, although he lost the opportunity to become a duke, but he created so many nobles for the family, not to mention, and brought more business opportunities to the family, it was by seizing these opportunities that the Berkeley family took just 20 years to leap from a second-rate small family in the Feiling Principality to a big family that was famous in the entire Hundred Cities Federation, and he himself, although he did not have a title, but his status did not decline but rose, and he became a big man who even the king of the Feiling Principality had to respect him。
More importantly, it is also because of these that he has the opportunity to enter the core of the Hundred Cities Federation, that is, the Federal Assembly, if he can seize this opportunity, at most one more year, he will be able to enter the Federal Assembly and become a member, at that time, the Berkeley family will get another leap, and it is likely to become a first-class family of the Hundred Cities Federation.
However, this is such a person, but today he was humiliated, first he was insulted as a thief, then he was simply thrown off his chair, and finally he was thrown out like garbage.
That's right, this Perikles is the bald old man who looks like he is about 50 years old.
Such an old fellow, who was even more famous in the Duchy of Feiling than Callista, was eaten at the hands of Langdon today, which was probably the greatest humiliation of his life.
The few people he carried, the two who were sitting were his nephews, and the latter two were indeed bodyguards, and the strength of being his personal bodyguards was naturally not weak, both of them had the strength of high-level silver, and in terms of attributes, they were not much worse than Lao Wang, but in terms of moves, the two were 108,000 miles apart, plus they usually followed Perikles, and they were used to seeing big scenes and raising their temper, and they were suddenly moved by Lao Wang, and they didn't react at all, so they were restrained without even having a chance to make a move.
In this way, Perikles, who had always been invincible, was thrown out of the door.
This is not the most humiliating, the most humiliating thing is that less than half a day after this incident happened, it had already spread throughout Feiling City.
The content of the biography is also very interesting - Perikles of the Berkeley family ran to the door of his old rival Callista to look for trouble, but was cleaned up by a random person from outside Callista within 5 minutes of entering the door.
Yes, Perikles was not an old friend of Callista, the two were rivals, great rivals, no less than the kind of rivals of Babla and Callista.
Babla and Callista are vying for a seat in gold and riches.
Callista and Pericles are vying for a seat in the Federal Parliament.
This is not an ordinary position, even more important than the position of the king of those small and medium-sized countries in the Hundred Cities Federation, although all the kings of the Hundred Cities Federation are members of the Federal Assembly, however, at some point, their non-king members play a greater role than those king members!
That's why, as soon as he heard that Callista had hired someone to come to Flying City, and that he had stepped on Babla's lion hound, Pericles would immediately run to the door to look for trouble.
Of course, he couldn't allow Callista to bring in such a powerful helper, which was definitely not a good thing for him.
In fact, his calculations are also very fine, and the most basic plan is to stimulate the other party through some words, and see if this guy is really powerful through the other party's reaction.
This is also the reason why he used Callista's old friend to step on Langdon in the first place.
And then he will look at the other party's reaction, if the other party is stepped on or confessed by him like this, it means that this guy has no qualifications to make him pay attention to it.
However, if this guy is really a hard stubble, he has prepared other rhetoric to stir up a wedge between this guy and Callista.
If the other party really doesn't eat hard and soft and can't find anything out of it, he will simply pull his feet and leave, and then find a way to deal with this guy again.
Anyway, in general, on the basis of not suffering a loss himself, he resolutely can't let this guy really become a big help to Callista.
Of course, he is not reckless in doing this, and he is quite confident, after all, his reputation in Feiling City is about to catch up with the king of the Feiling Principality, and his name is placed here, even if he breaks with the other party on the spot, the other party will not dare to really do anything to him.
Unfortunately, he ran into Langdon, a man who had been planning to make a big deal out of it in the first place.
For Langdon, how could he miss such an opportunity in front of him?
So, poor Pericles was humiliated like this, the most important thing is that he has not yet taken public revenge, he has a grudge against Callista, which is almost a public matter, and this time he ran to someone else's door to find trouble, to put it mildly, Langdon did not kill him directly It is considered to give him face, in this case, if he wants to do something under this excuse, it will only make others despise him more, maybe it will not have any substantial impact on him, but he can't get over it.
So, while he hated Landon, he hated the guys who got the word out so quickly.
And not long after Pericles was thrown out of the house, Zhu Lingqi, who went out early in the morning, returned to the house.
"My lord, this is not quite right. Zhu Lingqi got straight to the point, and said as soon as he saw Langdon.
"Are you saying that our news got too fast?" Langdon asked rhetorically.
"Yes. Zhu Lingqi nodded, "I went out to find out the news, not only what we did yesterday has been spread all over the city, but even what the adults did half an hour ago has been spread all over the city." ”
"So fast, this is someone on purpose, this guy is trying to ......" Langdon touched his chin and said: "It seems that he is helping us build momentum and elevate us to a higher position, it should be the people on the Calista side who will do this, but if it is really done by the people on the Calista side, they will definitely get in touch with me as soon as possible, instead of doing it without notifying us like this." ”
"There's another situation, my lord. Lao Wang said: "They are raising our position, but they are not helping us, but they want to raise us to a height that we can't bear at all, and then ......."
"Pull off the board under us and let us fall! Not only that, but also create some powerful opponents for us at that height to deal with us!" was reminded by Lao Wang, Langdon suddenly understood, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said: "If this is the case, the person who did this is a master." ”
