November 10th.

Hydra Palace, Hall of the Sages.

This is a large hall with an extremely solemn and solemn style.

Every corridor here, every hall room, and the main hall are covered with huge portraits. They are all big names in the history of the Delen Empire.

Portraits of loyal generals, romantic figures, and even every generation of emperors have been carefully preserved here.

In particular, in the core of the main hall, six huge oil paintings of nearly 100 feet tall stand majestically. In the portrait, six former emperors of the Delun Empire, dressed in mottled ancient armor and with resolute and serious faces, looked like living people, with dark gray eyes looking down on the main hall coldly.

For hundreds of years in the Delun Empire, only these six previous emperors have made great achievements, which is why their portraits are displayed in this main hall by later emperors.

It was dark outside, but the hall was brightly lit.

On the center line of the main hall of the Panglife, a scarlet carpet runs from the gate to the end of the main hall, leading to the throne directly below the portrait of the founding emperor of the Delenn Empire.

Twelve old men dressed in black dresses, with ribbons and various medals on their chests, and huge antique-grade gemstone rings on their fingers, waving their hands with jewels, showing the atmosphere of wealth and wealth, stood in the middle of the hall in a row, looking at Qiao who walked in slowly with expressionless faces.

The doors of the Hall of the Sages closed heavily behind Joe.

Merlin brought Joe here, and he stayed outside the door. What will happen next is how Joe will cut the flesh from these super Junkers in Ruhr City.

This is a very private matter, and Merlin, as well as other court officials of the Hydra Palace, and even members of the royal family, will not rush to meddle in such intimate affairs between nobles and nobles.

Of course, the meeting place was placed in the Hall of the Sages, and I believe that the representatives of these super Junker families, they also understand the attitude of the royal family - to witness for Joe with the sages of the empire.

"Nice weather, gentlemen." Joe walked slowly to the twelve old men lined up with his hands behind his back: "I heard that you brought the sincerity of the family behind you?" ”

The old man, who was standing in the middle with a Bergman family coat of arms pinned to his neck, had a gloomy face, took out an official document from his pocket, and handed it to Joe with an expressionless face: "We brought our sincerity...... You see, if you are satisfied, then, sign the official document we have drawn up, and the wealth on it is yours. ”

Joe took the official document, which was just a thin, ordinary piece of office paper. A little more than a foot long, about three-quarters wide, with a dozen lines written on it in dark gray flower characters.

An ancient castle estate in the Ruhr region covers an area of about 300 acres.

A wine estate in the Ruhr region with about 1,000 acres of vineyards.

A coal washing plant in the Ruhr region produces around 10 million tonnes per year.

These are the three main things in it.

The castle manor, along with all the antique belongings in it, including hundreds of servants and maids, was transferred along with three hundred acres of land, with a total value of about five million gold marks.

The red wine estate, its own land, with a well-known red wine workshop, as well as two underground red wine warehouses, as well as those good quality, full of 1,000 acres of old vines, the market value is about 3 million gold marks, and the red wine made every year can probably produce a net profit of 1 million gold marks.

In terms of the ratio of annual profit output to total capital, this wine estate is a good asset. For many families in mainland Medland, having such a red wine estate is really a lifetime of eating and drinking, and it can live a very nourishing and prosperous life.

As for the coal washing plant, it only selects the coarse coal that is transported, classifies the coarse coal, removes the impurities inside, etc., which belongs to the lowest-level raw material rough processing business.

The processing of incoming materials from the coal washing plant is choked by the upstream coal mine, and the sales of its products are greatly affected by the downstream coal users. Once the coal mine stops supplying coal, and the coal users do not purchase selected lump coal from you, this coal washing plant, which has an annual output of more than 10 million tons and can make about two or three million gold marks and gross profits, will immediately face a desperate situation.

So, it's a nice looking piece of 'big fat'!

As for the other dozen or so things...... Well, it's nothing more than some pure-blooded horses, a few antique carriages of great historical value, a few antique pocket watches, and a few nice villas, apartments and other real estate in the provinces around the Ruhr region.

That's all.

Qiao shook the thin piece of paper in his hand, and squinted at the twelve old men standing in front of him: "You guys, what about sending Hanako?" ”

The representative of the Bergman family, the gloomy-looking old man, snorted coldly: "Joe Rong Witu...... You're not really hurt, are you? Aren't these reparations enough? Be a man, don't be greedy! ”

Qiao sighed heavily, and then shook his head vigorously: "You don't know how much financial loss and psychological damage you have caused me...... You framed me, framed me, I was in despair, in order to clear my name, how much I paid, do you know? ”

"Not to mention, when you recklessly broke into No. 158 Qingsong Street and recklessly framed me, your people killed and injured so many of my brave and loyal subordinates."

"My subordinates have killed and injured hundreds of people, and the little thing you gave is not even enough for their pensions."

Joe's face was gloomy, and he dropped the thin official document in his hand on the ground, then spat at it, and then stepped on it hard. He swung the soles of his feet vigorously, the soles of his thick rough-grained boots grinding the pieces of paper to shreds, and he foamed at the mouth of the spit, all on the brand new scarlet carpet.

In the sandwich wall of the main hall of the Hall of the Sages, through the intricately designed observation port, the faces of Mata XIII and Salian, who were holding their breath and observing the movement in the main hall, twitched at the same time.

Damn little bastard...... Hundreds of years after the founding of the Delun Empire, this is the first time that someone dares to spit in the main hall of the Hall of the Sages!

Salian squeezed his fist hard, and he suddenly felt a little itchy in his hands.

Bergman looked at the sparsely trampled piece of paper and said nothing.

He took out another document from his pocket and handed it to Joe with a blank face...... Seeing that Joe took over the 'two pieces of paper' document this time, Bergman said slowly: "This time, you should be satisfied, right?" ”

Joe flipped through two sheets of paper and read them quickly.

Yes, this time it is a little interesting, the total number of assets and annual income recorded on the two thin pieces of paper are about three times that of the previous thin paper.

Joe whistled, lowered his head slightly, and stared at the twelve old men in front of him one by one.

Then he shook his head, slapped his hands, and smashed the two pieces of thin paper: "If it weren't for old Mr. Merlin telling me that you are representatives of the twelve most powerful and powerful deacons in Ruhr, I would have thought that you were hillbillies from some country place. ”

"You guys, what about sending Hanako?" Joe waved his hands, and shredded paper was scattered all over the sky: "You guys, what about sending Hanako?" Hehe, it seems that you don't have the sincerity to solve the problem, so ......"

Shrugging his shoulders, Joe turned and walked away.

The faces of the twelve old men twitched at the same time, and one of the old men standing at the very edge shook his body, he brought a wisp of fresh wind, quickly blocked in front of Joe, and reached out and pressed it towards Joe's stomach: "Joe Rong Wittu, you'd better ...... with us"

The old man shot lightly, just trying to block Joe.

As soon as his palm touched Joe's shirt, he heard a muffled sound, and Joe's shirt exploded, revealing a large area of white flesh and skin. Joe let out a miserable howl, and fell to the ground with a thud.

He was extremely heavy, and when he pressed the ground, he heard a loud noise, and the entire Hall of the Ancestors swayed slightly...... On the ground, the original intact scarlet carpet was smashed open with a humanoid hole, and Joe's entire body was deeply sunk into the granite bricks of the water mill.

"Help...... Kill people! The red-faced and energetic Joe yelled at the top of his voice: "Help, they're going to kill me, they're ...... To ......"

Joe coughed heavily, then reached out and touched the corner of his mouth, and found that there was only a few bits of saliva on the palm, and there was no other color.

Joe's face darkened, and he raised his right hand and slapped himself the chest.

'Bang'!

With a loud bang, the Hall of the Sages trembled again, and a large area of floor tiles under Joe's body shattered, and the spiderweb-like cracks stretched nearly a hundred feet into the distance.

Joe opened his mouth, and a mouthful of old blood spurted up more than three feet high.

With a slight flick of his head from left to right, the blood was very evenly proportioned, and a graceful arc was thrown on him.

The red blood flowed down the flesh of the white flowers, and the contrast between red and white was extremely clear, full of a poignant and tragic beauty.

The old man who blocked Joe looked at Joe who vomited blood in a daze.

He's just, he's just, nudged Joe!

He swore that he dared to swear by the souls of his family's ancestors, that with the strength he had just used, he could probably kill three or five fat flies, but that was all. With all his strength, even a slightly stronger rat couldn't kill him, let alone Joe, who was several inches tall and weighed hundreds of pounds!

With a 'boom', the door of the Hall of the Sages was pushed open, and Merlin rushed in with a large group of court knights.

"Gentlemen, what do you want to do?" Merlin roared in a fierce voice: "In the sacred and majestic Hydra Palace, in front of the icons of the previous emperors, you ...... How mad are you? ”

Merlin had a gloomy face, and with a wave of his right hand, he was about to order the arrest of the twelve old men on the spot.

The old man of the Bergman family sighed, and he said slowly, "Your Excellency Merlin, let's continue the discussion...... Well, Joe Jon Ritu, now, let's talk formally, well, seriously. ”

"This time, we promise that we will show real sincerity...... Please also ...... Show your sincerity! ”

Joe sneered, rolled his eyes, and his body twitched violently.

After a few strokes, Joe made a strange 'gurgling' sound, and then his body suddenly stiffened, and he fainted vividly.
