Chapter 268: Hunting Country
"Say it again, how much does he want?" said Fitosher's eyes, which almost popped out of his sockets.
Even though Agatha had expected her father to have such an expression, she still looked a little cramped when it came to the end, and she snorted and said, "My father, this is actually a very good deal......
In business, Agatha knew that she and her father could only talk about interests, and if she talked about family friendship, then she would definitely be scolded ugly.
Fitosha was a little surprised that he didn't have this astronomical amount, and he just asked a little distractedly, "What does he want so much money for?"
Agatha sighed secretly, the reason she had just said, but when her father heard about such an astronomical amount, he was so excited that he forgot the reason.
It stands to reason that such a large sum of money, no matter which huge force is looking for, will arouse their high tension and high attention, 10 million gold coins, this is not something that anyone can give, let alone give it casually.
It's a lot of money, and it's a lot of money, and it's enough to make kings and emperors tremble!
It's not that Fei Toshe didn't think about Tang Jie to the worst, but he definitely didn't expect Tang Jie to dare to ask for such a large sum of money!
10 million as soon as you open your mouth!
It's also scary!!
Agatha explained the purpose of the money again with a dry mouth, but Fitosha still did not come back to his senses, and seemed a little dazed.
The stern and iron-blooded old man's eyes were unpredictable, making Agatha feel uneasy.
As a daughter, what she fears most is that there will be estrangement and contradictions between her father and the man she loves deeply, and even suspicion of each other, if such a thing happens, it will definitely be a terrible disaster.
Moreover, she and Tang Jie are not married yet, Tang Jie has already swallowed countless property of the Clumber family, although his family has also received corresponding benefits, but on the whole, Tang Jie's lion opening this time has obviously exceeded the psychological bottom line of any person in power in the Clumber family.
Father, would he think that Tang Jie was deliberately devouring their property?
"My father......" Agatha was silent for a while, and plucked up the courage to defend Tang Jie again, "as long as our investment can succeed this time, then we will open up a world of our own in the distant Noah continent, and our capital and assets and family members can enter that land with dignity, and have the most reliable allies to protect us!
"Don't say it!" Fitosha suddenly raised his palms with a grim expression.
He walked up and down his room with his hands behind his back, and for a moment Fitosche stood at the window watching the busy wagon convoy outside.
Now that the battle between Tulip County and the aristocratic coalition has reached the final moment, most of the assets belonging to the Clumber family in Tulip County have been transferred, and the rest are the last people and goods that have not left, and more manpower and material resources belonging to this family in other parts of this huge empire have been ordered by him to either disperse and hide them, or break up to form other branches and leaves, and become another group of seemingly unrelated families, quietly waiting for the Klumber family to rise again.
Soon this place, this castle will change owners, and he is about to go to Sisis to open up a new space for the survival of the family.
As the leader of this exiled family, the pressure and burden on his shoulders can be imagined, of course he knows that once he enters Sisis, it will be equivalent to entering Tang Jie's territory, and then it will be the day when he will rely on people's noses.
For this kind of day, Fitosha is not afraid, the eldest husband can bend and stretch, and if he can't endure for a while, he can't create a great cause, but what shocked Fitosha is that when he is about to go to Tang Jie's territory, Agatha brought him such news......
Is your choice right or wrong?
Did the Crumbels choose a greedy and arrogant beast, or a heroic hero?
Fitosha withdrew his gaze from the window, he looked up at the beautifully illustrated and brightly colored epic reliefs on the ceiling, sighed, and said: "Actually, I know what you mean, if Tang Jie really harbored evil intentions, he would not have opened his mouth so big at one time and directly frightened people. If I were Tang Jie and really wanted to annex the Clumber family, I would eat it in small bites, boil the frogs in warm water, and by the time the family reacted, it would be too late. ”
Agatha listened to Fitoshe's words, and she didn't feel a little creepy in her heart, she knew that her father was naturally suspicious, but she didn't expect him to be so suspicious, and she always imagined Tang Jie as an imaginary enemy in her heart.
"But he opened his mouth so much this time, which shows that there are three possibilities......" Fitoscher stopped Agatha with his eyes, preventing her from speaking and interrupting him, "Either he is a fool and idiot, and he can't help but want to attack us at such a little time, or he is testing us, wanting to see where our bottom line and endurance are, so that he can do it further......"
Listening to her father describe the man she loved so much, Agatha couldn't stand it anymore no matter how good her temper was, and she said angrily: "Father, please don't imagine Tang Jie as such a person!"
Fitosha glanced at Agatha, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he still said to himself: "Either the third point, this guy really wants to use such a large sum of money to hunt for a powerful country on a distant continent!"
Agatha glanced at Fitosha: "Of course it's the third point! If you don't trust your daughter's judgment, don't let me go back!
Fitosha smiled: "If you don't go back, will you still stay and die?
Agatha saw that Fitosha said desolately, and the anger in her heart also disappeared a lot, and she walked to her father's side and said softly: "Father, we will be fine, the sun also has a process from high to low, from low to high, but what will not change is that it will be brilliant again, and we will be the same!"
Fitosher took her precious daughter's hand and said with emotion: "Agatha, my child, you answered me honestly. ”
Agatha saw that Fitosha was speaking solemnly, and she also asked solemnly: "My father, please ask, the god Raphael will witness my honesty." ”
Fitosha thought for a moment and asked, "Tang Jie, has he told you what his goal is, is he determined to be a pirate or does he want to be the emperor of the sea?"
Agatha pondered seriously for a long time, and replied, "My father, the question you asked is not in conflict, wasn't Atos also the king of the pirate world and the emperor of the sea?"
Fitosha shook his head: "No, Athos is just a king of the pirate world, although he is strong, but his strength is based on his personal strength, he does not have a solid foundation of power, once he dies, everything he has will disappear." At that time, Athos seemed to be extremely powerful, but in fact he was very vulnerable. ”
Fitosha said, he walked to his desk, patted the old piles of files on the desk, and said: "I have studied all the materials of Tang Jie, and the more I research, the more I feel that there are a few places that are incredible!"
Agatha asked, "My father, where are you talking about?"
Her father had always been wary and hostile to the man she loved, and Agatha was very unhappy, but from the perspective of the family's interests, Fitosha could be regarded as dutiful in the true sense of the word.
"First, where did he come from? This man first had clues in this world, and it only started with the Hell in the Ataq Sea, he was a shipwreck in the sea, and then everything about him was like the secret of the abyss under the sea, hidden behind his inscrutable back, and no one knew where he came from!"
Agatha rushed to say: The hero does not ask where he came from, but Fitosher raised a hand and stopped her words in his stomach.
"My daughter, I know what you want to say, but if you look at what he did afterwards, from the very beginning, what he did was not as simple as that of a pirate. ”
Fitosher's eyes lit up and he asked, "In this world, is there any pirate who can run his own force like him, and what pirate has such an amazing strategic vision that he dares to place his lair fortress on the golden route?"
Fitosher clenched his hands into fists and slammed them on the desk: "What makes people stunned is that this guy has actually succeeded! This guy who is surprisingly lucky has won every time in a big gamble, which has to make me wonder: next time, will he still win?"
Fitosha stared at Agatha with his eyes firmly on him: "My daughter, tell me, can he win this time? If you can give me a reason to convince myself, I will gamble with him this time!"
Agatha was silent for a moment, then said, "Father, I am a conservative, and in fact I have always been very much in favor of such a big gamble. ”
"But......" Agatha unexpectedly dismissed the blood-boiling gamble, but she quickly changed the subject, "my father, look at our family, look at our surroundings, we have nothing to lose." Ten million gold coins, if we don't use them to participate in this big gamble, then this money is likely to be buried in the ground, I don't know how long it will be used again, it may be forgotten forever underground, and of course, it is also very likely to become their trophy in the pursuit of the Kelsman family. ”
"Whatever we do with this money, it's going to be risky, and in fact, is there anything in the world that is completely risk-free?" said Agatha, "You might stuff your teeth when you eat, you might choke when you drink water, you might drown at any time if you swim!"
Agatha took a deep breath and said: "Father, since I was a child, you have taught me that everything in the Crumbel family is speculation and gambling! The difference between a wise gambler and an inferior gambler is that a wise gambler either chooses gambling with low risk and low return, or chooses gambling with high risk and high reward, and they will never be like those inferior gamblers who crave gambling with low risk and high reward to fall on their heads! Because the world will not fall from the sky!"
"When you encounter gambling with low risk, you must make a move, and when you encounter gambling with high returns, you must also make a move!" Agatha's voice revealed a kind of demagogy that made people's blood boil unconsciously, and said in a sonorous tone, "Father, what is in front of us now is such a high-risk and high-reward gamble!"
Agatha was silent for a moment, and said in a voice like a devil, "We are hunting a country, my father!
After Agatha's words, the room fell silent.
Fitosha was silent, but his eyes were fixed on Agatha, and after a long time, he let out a long sigh: "Agatha, my daughter, if you were a man, how good it would be!"
After saying that, he smiled and said to Agatha: "You can be a great orator, dear Agatha, congratulations, the speech is a success!"
Agatha smiled: "I just used Tang Jie's words to trick me, and I used them to trick you, my father." ”
