Chapter 149: Dead or Alive?

Lauren and the others all knew that Ba Jin was a very proud person, and arrogantly thought that he was the head of the five major families. But Lauren also knows that Ba Jin is a person with a deep city, and even if he is arrogant and disdainful, he will not exceed a warning line.

But this time, Ba Jin crossed the line.

Who is Douglas? He is the head of the Stoke family, although the Toke family is the grass on the wall, although the strength of this family is the lowest among the five major families, this does not mean that the Stoke family is the five scumbags, just that they are inferior to the other four.

And over the years, the Stoke family has traveled among the other four families, although it is said that they have earned a lot of benefits, but from the objective facts, their existence has also balanced the relationship between the other four families, so that none of them can act rashly.

So it can be said that if the Stoke family is now determined to deal with one family, then he only needs to take refuge in any of the other three families, and it is enough to create a situation that can threaten any family. This is also the reason why the Stoke family has profited from the other four families for so many years, and the other four families have tolerated them so much.

Douglas was indeed a treacherous man, one could even say that he was a shameless man. He's the kind of guy who is typical when others call him shameless, and he'll be proud. But even so, he is the head of a big family, and he also has his own bottom line and dignity.

Ba Jin was simply pointing at Douglas's nose and scolding just now, if Douglas still didn't react at all, then he was no longer worthy of being a head of the family.

"Hey, I see! I've offended me! Then Brother Barkin, Douglas has taken his leave!" Douglas's eyes flashed with viciousness and anger, but the smile on his face bloomed like that of a kind businessman. But as long as anyone who knows him knows that every time he shows such a look, it is the time to kill.

The three of Lauren looked at each other, secretly communicated, and did not intend to continue the communication. Although it is said that the five major families are now trapped by a conspiracy, it is not impossible to really solve this trouble, as long as the five major families join hands a little, first exclude outsiders, and decide that it is really not done by outsiders, and then talk about internal problems, then it is also a solution.

This is also the reason why the four family masters came to Ba Jin together.

But now, Barkin's attitude has said it all, Lauren, are they still here to be angry?

And after Douglas said what he just said, he only bowed his hand slightly, and the person had already turned away. But just as he reached the door of the hall, he was stopped by Ba Jin.

"Stop!"

"Oh, Brother Barkin, are you going to leave Douglas's life at Hall Manor?

When the four masters came to Hall Manor, would they go alone?

Douglas is confident that he can break through, among the five masters, his strength ranks third, the same level as Ba Jin, both are silver level nine, but he is younger than Ba Jin, and his battle spirit is stronger than Ba Jin's.

At the same time, Douglas believes that as long as Barking really dares to make a move, Lauren and they will not sit back and watch, and will definitely help him. Therefore, the head of the Stoke family is not afraid of Ba Jin's troubles at all.

"Joshua was killed just before you arrived!" Ba Jin also knew that he had crossed the line just now, so he had to explain, otherwise the Hall family would face a joint attack from the other four families.

"What?" they were taken aback by the change for Lauren.

In fact, in the final analysis, they all had the idea that the murderer was sent by Ba Jin, and they came together, and there was no reason to put pressure on each other, but now that they heard Ba Jin say that Joshua was dead, the situation became delicate.

It is possible that the real murderer killed Joshua and then came to frame the four major families. It's also possible that Joshua is dead, and Ba Jin goes crazy attacking the four families, or ......

The four of Lauren looked at each other, then silently looked away.

Obviously, the four of them didn't trust each other completely, of course they knew that they didn't do it themselves, but they all suspected that one of them did it.

"What the hell is going on? Ba Jin, let's hear it. We've known each other for many years, so don't be like a child at this time, and tell me what happened!" Lauren finally spoke.

With his words, Barking and Douglas also borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, looked at each other, and then returned to their respective positions.

Only then did Ba Jin tell him everything he knew. Including Joshua being drugged and being emotionally affected by his poisonous soul power, he said it.

No one doubted "Li Shizhen", because the reputation of elf beauties is too good. Of course, what really convinced the Lauren Four was that Barking himself had checked this.

"It seems that things are not easy!" Lauren rubbed his eyebrows, "Brother Barkin, let's go see Joshua together." Didn't you just say that you haven't been in it since you got the news?"

Ba Jin thought about it and had to nod.

The five of them then made their way to Joshua's room.

Beate estimated that he had just received the news, and rushed over, but before he arrived at the small courtyard, he had already begun to cry and grab the ground.

"Nonsense, go back to your room for me immediately!" Ba Jin was already angry, at this time, he didn't care if Beate was his favorite woman, and he only had the annoyance that Beate had lost his face in front of the other four family masters.

Beate is a very smart woman, she knows that everything she does comes from Ba Jin's favor for herself, so she knows when she should do something, when she saw the four masters appear together, she was already regretting the performance just now, and now she was scolded by Ba Jin, and she immediately avoided it.

As soon as Mark received the news, he had the room cordoned off, so no one had entered it at all.

Joshua's room was quiet, and it wouldn't be strange if a ghost popped up suddenly.

The five families pushed the door in together.

"There's no blood, there's no death!" Martin, the head of the Field family, said lightly.

His battle spirit "Earth Wolf" is very sensitive to the smell of blood and death, so he has absolutely the right to speak in this regard.

"There's really nothing suspicious in the room!" Zeny quickly looked around and came to the conclusion.

"Wait, Joshua...... Not dead!" Lauren and Barkin's eyes were on Joshua for the first time, one of them was a gold level 3 and a silver level 9, even if the light in the room was dim, they could see clearly.

Joshua on the bed was pale, but he was breathing steadily, where was he dead?

In disbelief, Ba Jin immediately rushed forward, touched his son's veins, and sure enough, it was still beating, although it was a little weak, but it was really beating.

"Brother Bajin, I've been a long time to know, and I actually cursed my own son to die!hey!" Douglas sneered three times.

The three Lauren also looked at Ba Jin dissatisfied, thinking that this guy is old and confused, is it interesting to tell a lie that can be exposed so easily?

Ba Jin's expression changed three times in a row, and then he arched his hand to the four Lauren: "Everyone, please give me a little time!"

He rarely was so polite, at this time, it was obvious that there was really a problem, Lauren and the four of them looked at each other, did not speak, but nodded gently.

"Master, I've already brought the people!" Worthy of being Ba Jin's most trusted and capable subordinate, Mark did not have any sluggish reaction at all when he heard that Joshua was still alive, but immediately arrested the servant who reported the news.

"Say, what the hell is going on? You dare to lie to me?" Ba Jin looked at the servant in front of him angrily.

This servant's name was Gan, and he was a slave born to a family.

No matter which country it is, it is a felony to be caught catching slaves, but it is okay to voluntarily sell yourself into slavery, and some of them sell themselves as slaves or generational contracts, that is to say, not only do they be slaves for life, but even their children and grandchildren are slaves for life, and the descendants of these people are called family slaves, which means the descendants of slaves within the noble family.

Gan is a slave born in a family, he has been waiting for Joshua since he was a child, and he is the number one dog leg by Joshua's side, so what he said at the beginning, Ba Jin didn't have any suspicions at all, but now that Ba Jin found out that Gan lied to himself, he was already angry.

"Little, small, I don't know wow, just now the little one saw that the young master's head was cut off, and the blood flowed all over the ground, and the little one was so frightened that his soul flew away, so he immediately came to report to the master!" "As soon as Gan heard that Joshua was fine, his brain was also buzzing, he knew that if he couldn't explain it clearly, he would die miserably, just deceiving Ba Jin, then there would be no way to live, and then the vicious woman of Beate knew that he cursed his son to die, then Gan could ask for a quick death, it was already the happiest thing.

"The head was cut off, and the blood was bleeding all over the ground, and you think we were all blind?" Ba Jin was reluctant to immediately break Gan's body into pieces, but he still had to endure it until he asked about the situation.

"The old man is famous, the little one is a slave born in the family, he is a member of the family in life, and he is a ghost of the family in death, how can he betray the family? The little one has been with the young master for 20 years, and the young master has always been generous to the little one, how can the little one curse the young master to die? The little one prays every day that the young master will live a long life and be a hundred years old, and he will be safe and blessed!" Gan's level of speech is quite high, and his words are reasonable and convincing.

However, it is one thing to be convincing, and it is another thing to convince the five heads of the family in front of you.

If it weren't for Lauren's four people, Ba Jin might have calmed down and listened to Gan slowly, but now......

Douglas's smiling expression was like a knife piercing Barkin's heart, stirring fiercely. (To be continued.) )
