Crimson Moon Chapter 48 Marriage
At the foot of Cefaluloca is a quaint southern Italian town.
Here is a cliff on one side, facing the sea on the other, and the city is built on layers of mountains and rocks, forming its towering momentum of connecting the blue sky and facing the sea below.
At night, from afar, its lights and the stars in the sky are completely connected, making it impossible to distinguish which is in the sky and which is on earth.
It has always been famous for its volcanoes and bathing beaches, the climate here is like spring all year round, the scenery is beautiful, and the mountain town not only has ancient Greek and Roman monuments, but also has modern tourist facilities.
Restaurants, cafes, and shops for tourists are all over the streets, and business is booming.
The teenagers giggled and slipped from one end of the street to the other, and then from one end to the other like a school of returning fish. Seniors over the age of 60 sit in groups of threes and fives, dressed in carefully ironed shirts and woolen hats.
This is the Italian Taur fan, set against the backdrop of the seaside town of Palermo, and is a paradise for vacations.
Anyone who has seen the city will not help but look back a few more times, Goethe once praised it as "the most beautiful promontory in the world", and the Italian writer Dante praised it as "the most beautiful Muslim city in the world"
A few years ago, it was the nest of the "notorious" mafia
Today, it tells the story of Sicily's beauty with its own charm.
The Andrew family, as the former boss of the mafia, naturally stationed their forces here in Palermo.
Walker stood high in the church, watching the scene of the sea and the sky, silently distracted, and the sea breeze blew his hair very fluffy.
He looked melancholy, holding a glass of red wine from the Rhône Valley in France, facing the sea and blue sky, drinking alone.
A few minutes ago, he had a quarrel with the old guys in the family, and it was not a strange thing, Walker's concept has always been inconsistent with the family, and the quarrel is a matter of three days.
The cause of the incident is not unusual, Walker posted a marriage notice on Eden Academy's social media a few days ago, and then this message was wildly reposted, liked, commented, and rushed to the top of the Eden Academy list.
As one of the trustees of Eden College, Andrew's family has a high position in Eden College, and is one of the three major trustees, jointly overseeing the operation of the college.
The Andrew family is mainly responsible for the operation of the college's economy, and it can be said that a large part of the college's economic resources are sponsored by the Andrew family.
If it weren't for the high-tech industry developed by the college in recent decades, I am afraid that it would probably be monopolized by the Andrew family.
The academy and the three major trustees constitute the military, politics, finance, and espionage respectively, so that the current strength of the Eden Academy is beyond all countries, and it is a special independent institution.
On the surface, the College of Eden is a militarized college, but in essence, it can be said to be a small autonomous city, and in layman's terms, it is the Emperor of the Earth.
Andrew's family occupies a pivotal position in the college, and all Andrew's family marriages are also in the spotlight.
Walker's brother, Ivan Andrew, married a little princess from the United Arab Emirates a few years ago, and that wedding attracted worldwide attention, and the publicity of major media was even more overwhelming.
For a time, many people who didn't know about Andrew's family also knew that Ivan Andrew was married.
It is even more powerful than the scene of the marriage of the British prince.
Now the focus of this gaze is projected on Walker's body, and Walker's meaning is very simple, that is, to marry Xia Wanyou into the family.
If it were other people in the family, maybe the family wouldn't have any opinions, and would even sow a huge amount of money to make them pretty, but Walker is different.
Walker is the young master of Andrew's family, and he is going to compete with Ivan Andrew to become the head of the family and the future director of the school, and the family is divided into two factions, one for Walker and the other for Ivan.
The two factions have always been not very peaceful, fighting openly and secretly, and fighting each other in private, but even so, the family is still thriving on the surface.
Because Barton Andrew, the old head of the family, is still there, and has always controlled the situation of the two factions, as a descendant of the mafia, Barton can be said to have experienced a rookie of the times who has experienced the way of almost raising Gu competition from many heirs.
Even in the face of a figure like Turner Richard, Barton can still laugh proudly, his two sons are also the pride of the times, and the prosperity of the Andrew family will continue.
But here's the problem, Walker, as the young master of the family and the backbone of the family faction, marrying a woman with little status can neither help the family develop the industry, nor can it provide any substantial help.
In this case, the faction led by Walker will be greatly suppressed by the other faction, which is not a good thing for Walker.
But Walker is like a nobody, and for the opinions of the elders in the family, it can be said that one ear is in and one ear is out, and the yang is in and the yin is violated, and he ostensibly participates in various social occasions.
For example, attending a meeting with the little princess of Dubai, and then going to sea with the daughter of the Spanish president, Walker did a good job on the surface, fascinated those girls, and couldn't wait to immediately pull Walker into the palace of marriage.
But in fact, only he knows what Walker is thinking.
No, after the news of this marriage contract was released, bigwigs from some countries began to call the Andrew family frantically, asking who this summer evening is.
As an agent of the Walker faction, Ross Clive's phone has been flooded, averaging one call every five minutes.
This man, who is calmly handling hundreds of billions of dollars every day, is actually busy at this juncture, but Walker is still in a good place all day long like no one.
Finally, the argument broke out a moment ago, and Walker couldn't stand the words of the men, so he ran to the roof and drank alone.
Watching the sea and the sky go together, the seagulls flying and foraging for food, and the children and the elderly enjoying the world of family fun, Walker calmed his mood.
Although there is a lot of resistance in the family, Walker is not a good talker, and he is very strong, and the facts he believes will never change again.
"Looks like you're getting better!" a voice rang out behind Walker.
Like Walker, a man with fluffy curly hair, blue eyes, and a handsome face appeared behind Walker.
"You must be glad I'm like this!" Walker finished the red wine in his hand, put the glass on the guardrail, leaned against the guardrail, and looked into the distance.
He knew who was coming, his opponent, his own brother Ivan Andrew.
"Brother, we are all victims of power, while we have glory and wealth, we should accept all this calmly, the family has arranged it for you, why bother?" Ivan carried a bottle of red wine and poured a glass for Walker.
Walker took the glass and took a sip, the red wine was very rich, and there was a fruity aroma, a pleasant mineral taste, which should be an old Burgundy red wine.
"It tastes good, it's at least fifty years old!" Walker looked at Ivan, his good-looking brother.
"Exactly fifty-five years, your taste will always be so good!"
Ivan replied with a smile, poured himself a glass, and took a sip, "But in terms of women, you actually missed, it's really surprising!"
Ivan felt that Walker's taste and strength were comparable to his own, and even surpassed him, but because of his rebellious character, he fell behind in terms of choice.
"My choice never needs to be questioned, whether it's my father or the people in the family!" Walker looked at the seagulls in the distance, fighting the wind and waves, and catching a big fish in the water.
"Yes, but everyone is not optimistic about your choice, you will become a deviant person, the resources in the family will no longer be inclined to you, you know very well, once the competition fails, you will lose everything!"
Ivan began to teach Walker a lesson in the tone of his elders, and Walker snorted coldly, he would never admit defeat.
"But I think you can!" Ivan took another sip of wine, his words meaning deep in his words.
"I've read a lot of your posts, and many people support you, but it's not the family's faction, but the academy's side, and even the student president Mu Lan, the ruling Hades King, have come out to support you, it seems that that Xia Wanyou does have a lot of charm!"
Ivan licked his lips, women or something, the last thing rich people lack is such things.
"She's my one worthy of my life!" Walker watched intently as the white clouds in the distance slowly turned black, and the storm was coming.
"Hahaha! Brother, how old are you, and you can still say such things, it's really out of class! Maybe when you were a teenager, when you said such things, others would think you were a little hero, but now, people will think you are a complete fool!"
"The young master of our Andrew family, there is never a need to give his life for anyone, this is the pride of our family, brother, you must admit that you have lost this pride!" Ivan laughed and shook his head.
"If a person doesn't even have something to protect desperately in his life, then this person must have a miserable life!" Walker turned to look at Ivan's blue eyes and said seriously.
"I don't know! Anyway, I have a woman I like, just come over, I think it's good to have such a night of pleasure, and when I look at her the next day, I will think that she has a hateful face, and I can't wait to let her get out of here!" Ivan didn't mind revealing his private life.
"It's a sad thing to have no feelings!" Walker shrugged.
"Yes! For emperors and generals, feelings are the most superfluous thing, they will only drag you down, make it difficult for you, and even pull you into the water when you are in difficulty! Do you know Yingzheng and Liu Bang?"
"Yes, Emperor Qin and Emperor Gaozu of Han, two very outstanding emperors, are also famous tyrants and villains!" Walker said.
"Yes, they don't need feelings, that's why they have such a high achievement, brother, let go of your feelings, you can keep that woman as a mistress, no one will say anything, and your wife can only be given to those high-ranking little princesses, so that the competition is interesting!" Ivan patted Walker on the shoulder and left with a smile.
Walker's eyes stared at the dark clouds in the distance, and he clenched his fists, "I! Walker Andrew, I never need to prove anything to others, my choice is the choice of the Andrew family!"
Walker didn't look back, looked at the dark clouds in the distance and said loudly, Ivan paused, the corners of his mouth curled, and walked into the luxurious manor.
