"Hahahaha." Amaury laughed.

"Hahahaha." Ferdinand laughed too.

Joe walked into the Crystal Hall and stood beside Ferdinand and Amaury.

Ten Hydra guards rushed in, and they stood silently in the corner of the Crystal Hall. But the faces of each of the Hydra guards were strange.

These secret guards, who had been severely trained, would not change their faces even if they were stabbed seventy or eighty times on weekdays, or slashed the enemy with a hundred or so cuts, they were quite squirming and uneasy at the moment.

Their faces were red, their eyes were a little hesitant and distracted, and their eyes were basically avoiding Ferdinand and Amaury, who were laughing 'happily' as if they were their closest old friends.

"Well, dear friend, you see, it's almost New Year." Amaury's laughter stopped abruptly: "According to the rules, before the New Year, all trading businesses will be cleared once. ”

Ferdinand's laughter also stopped abruptly.

His bright smile disappeared and became gloomy and gloomy again: "Amaury, I originally thought that with our friendship, we could already sublimate our friendship to a certain level...... Thus avoiding the mundane, boring rules. ”

"Ah, of course, we do have this friendship."

In front of Joe, who was wearing the uniform of a major in the Imperial Army, and in front of the ten Hydra secret guards, Amaury stretched out his hand and patted Ferdinand's shoulder vigorously: "We do have this friendship, so, last time you took a fancy to the woman next to me, I gave her to you without hesitation, do you remember?" ”

"Brothers are like siblings, women are like clothes!" Amaury said something in a very strange tone, in the Eastern Continent that Joe barely understood, and said something that Joe couldn't quite understand.

Joe could hear it very clearly, and compared to the sailors from the Eastern Continent of the Vettu family, Amaury could only speak Eastern Continent...... Barely getting started, right?

However, Amaury smiled unconsciously, very proudly, obviously he felt very superior to him for being able to say such a Donglu language, to say such a philosophical sentence.

"We are siblings, for the sake of our friendship and affection, women or something, it's not the same thing."

Amaury sighed, and then he unbuttoned his coat and pulled out a notebook from the pocket on his chest. He opened his notebook and pulled out a dozen pieces of paper that were so well preserved, without a single wrinkle or stain.

"But, of course, a woman can't compare to being in debt." Amaury sighed, he threw his notebook on a couch beside him, and unfolded a dozen pieces of paper like cards with both hands: "Ferdinand, my old friend, you know my temper, because I have suffered in the past, so I take money very seriously. ”

"Money, ah, he is above everything, he is above everything, he is even beyond my life, my soul...... Friendship, affection, and love are not as important to me as the golden mark. ”

"Kim Mark...... Oh, I can do everything for them. ”

"Kim Mark, Ferdinand, Kim Mark...... Golden Mark ...... You can touch my clothes, but if you want to touch my Kim Mark, then I will not hesitate to cut off my own hands and feet. ”

Ferdinand immediately raised the bottle and shouted, "Joe, he threatens me!" ”

Joe took a step back expressionlessly.

When people want to chop off their own hands and feet, they don't mean that they want to chop off your hands and feet...... This lawsuit, no matter where it is placed, you Ferdinand can't win.

Ferdinand looked for help at the Hydra guards.

The ten Hydra guards were all looking at the floor-to-ceiling windows, and on the grass outside the windows, Vima was panting and carrying buckets and shovels, piling up snow, preparing to imitate the appearance of an ancient golem beside her, and build an identical snowman.

Just outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the Crystal Hall, less than a hundred feet apart, six ancient golems of incredible power were lined up in a row - for Ferdinand's safety, Joe also took great pains.

The Hydra guards all watched as Vima played, and none of them noticed Ferdinand's gaze.

Ferdinand looked at Amaury with a gloomy face.

Then, he looked down at the dozen pieces of paper in Amaury's hand.

He lifted the wine bottle, took a sip of most of the top half of the wine, and threw the bottle to the ground very carelessly: "So, this is all?" ”

Amaury smiled: "Oh, that's right, here's all your IOUs with me...... I've calculated the total amount for you - according to my rules there, nine out of thirteen, with rolling interest and compound interest...... As of today, you need to give me back eight million nine hundred and fifty-three thousand eight hundred and eighty-three gold marks and ten silver finneys and five fountains Su. ”

"Of course, we are old friends, and we are good brothers with affection...... So, erase the odds, and you can give me eight million nine hundred and fifty-three thousand eight hundred and eighty gold marks...... I'm generous for a fraction of those three gold marks, aren't I? ”

Ferdinand looked at Amaury with a flushed face.

He was silent for a long time, and then shouted loudly, "Are you insulting me?" Damn fellow, Amaury, my friendship with you is only worth three gold marks? Are you insulting me? ”

Amaury tilted his head and grinned as he looked at Ferdinand, who roared angrily.

Ferdinand roared and cursed, and from time to time he swept the corner of his eye over Joe and the ten Hydra guards, but no one responded to his pleas for help.

The nobles of the Metland continent have their own set of rules of conduct.

If you owe money, you have to pay it back.

Even if Ferdinand is the prince of the Deren Empire, you can't go unpaid...... If Ferdinand dared to use the power of the empire to force the debt, then the entire Deren Empire would become a joke, and ...... The whole empire, all the nobles of the whole empire will be disgraced because of him.

Even the rude and brutal royal family of the Lucia Empire, they all know the truth of 'borrowing and repaying, and it is not difficult to borrow again', the entire Lucian Empire relies on large-scale borrowing to maintain a life and dignity, but they would rather squeeze and expropriate the below, they can always pay off their debts in time, and then borrow new debts, their reputation in the Metland continent has always been very good!

Default?

There's no way Joe could help Ferdinand.

Pay back?

Hehe, after seeing Ferdinand's character, Joe will not spend a copper for Ferdinand unless his brain is struck by lightning!

Even......

Joe looked at the empty wine bottles on the floor.

He will go to Mr. S. Sterns, and Ferdinand's food, drink, and Lazar in the palace of Apophis, and all the expenses that should be recorded in the account book, and when the time comes, he will go to Salian to ask for the account.

So, in Ferdinand's unwilling roar, Joe quietly, with a subtle and reserved smile, took two more steps back.

"Dear Ferdinand...... Do you need me to report your debt figures again? Amaury looked at Ferdinand with a smile: "A total of eight hundred ......"

Ferdinand let out a 'whoop' and then punched Amaury in the face.

Amaury let out an unbelievable howl and was sent flying by Ferdinand's punch, his nosebleed spurting out of the air in a beautiful arc and hitting his head against the floor-to-ceiling window behind him.

There was a loud bang, the floor-to-ceiling windows were smashed through, and countless crystal shards flew out wrapped around Amaury's body.

Joe's face froze there.

The bodies of the ten Hydra guards moved, and then their faces suddenly turned red.

When Weima was building a snowman in the garden, under a big tree more than two hundred feet away, Big Ivan was wearing a thick bearskin jacket, squatting under the tree like a big bear, looking at Weima and smirking.

On weekdays, Big Ivan was born with a ferocious appearance, and that kind of ferocity and tyranny came from his blood, oozing from the depths of his bone marrow, and every pore on his body was releasing a clear signal outward - I am a villain, I am a thug, I am a murderer, everyone stay away from me, otherwise the consequences will be borne by themselves.

But at the moment......

Big Ivan smiled as he watched as Weima was bouncing around there...... The ferocity on his body disappeared without a trace, and he smiled very honestly, simple and heavy, like a real pastoral man who ploughed the fields for a living.

At this moment, the big Ivan, his face even had a trace of the holy light unique to the most charitable old woman of the Yingui Church.

Then, the floor-to-ceiling windows of the crystal hall exploded, and Amaury spurted his nosebleed, and flew out of the parlor with a terrible cry, and he fell heavily into the snow, and then slid out of the snow, almost crashing into Weima's body.

The moment Amaury flew out of the floor-to-ceiling window, Big Ivan let out a frantic roar.

While Amaury's body was still in the air, Big Ivan had already broken the snow, shaking the earth slightly, and rolling up a fierce wind to rush to Weima's side, blocking her petite body behind her.

Amaury fell into the snow and slipped towards Weima with a 'whoosh'......

Big Ivan lifted his right foot and stomped down with a heavy foot.

He stomped on Amaury's chest, and everyone present heard the crisp, dense sound of fractures. This kick crushed at least twenty of Amaury's ribs.

Amaury wasn't just spurting blood from his nose, he was also spurting blood from his mouth.

Blood stained Amaury's yellow beard, and like a dying fish, he twitched violently under the huge soles of Ivan's feet, and kept letting out a mournful, mournful howl.

"Miss Weima, be careful, you stand back, don't worry, with me, no one can hurt a hair of you!" Big Ivan muttered loudly, he lifted his foot and kicked Amaury a few more times.

'Click, click'...... The joints of Amaury's limbs were crushed by Big Ivan.

On all sides, a large group of Joe's subordinates surrounded them.

There are Lucian men under Big Ivan, the old guards of the Vetu family, the soldiers of Marcos's Blood Axe Regiment, and the retired soldiers summoned by Lan Mu Hibiscus and Lan Kikyo.

Hundreds of people stood silently in the cold wind without saying a word.

Only Amaury's intermittent screams rang out continuously.

The cold wind swept in through the open floor-to-ceiling window, Ferdinand smirked, and Jo slapped himself in the face......
