Chapter 54: The Pain of the Family
"The Meyer family's reputation in the business world is comparable to that of the Tully family's reputation in the political world, and they will do everything to get money, and the family origin of the Meyer family is also very interesting, the founder of the family, Meyer Sr., was a human trafficker, and the first person he sold was his wife, followed by his eldest daughter and younger daughter, leaving only two sons to continue his business",
Roger deliberately looked into Fei Fei's eyes as he spoke, her face was clouded, and there was a look of resentment in her eyes.
The gold coin swirled between his fingers, and Roger said, " Those three transactions allowed the old Meyer to earn three hundred gold coins, but the fate of the mother and daughter was very miserable, and the mother and daughter who sold to the same pirate leader committed suicide on the third day of the sea, but the old Meyer was very proud of this, because he used only one gold coin to buy a new woman who could give him children, and the remaining two hundred and ninety-nine gold coins became the capital of his business; that was probably the beginning of the Meyer tradition, the old Meyer often boasted of his first pot of gold, and since then almost every generation of the Meyer family has regarded the men of the family as the heirs of the business, and the women as goods”,
"They have no worries about food and clothing since childhood, and live a noble life with domestic servants, toys, and guards, but they will be sacrificed without hesitation under the needs of the family's interests, and the capital chain of the Meyer family broke fifty years ago, when the family actually sold more than 200 women in the family, some of them were sold to the nobles as canaries, some were sold to the bishop as priestesses, but half of them were sold to **",
"I heard that during that period of time, the ** women on the mainland who were crazy about robbing Meyer's house, and there were a lot of prostitutes waiting to enter outside."
Seeing that Fei Fei's face was already pale, Roger stopped talking, and Ellie, who was standing behind her after the meal, also sympathized with her, and it was the first time he had heard about the family history of the Meyer family after following her for so long.
The family origins of the Meyer family and the betrayal of women fifty years ago were later buried by the Meyer family with a large amount of gold coins, but those secrets are not unknown to anyone, at least Roger can find many books that have been burned by the Holy See and banned by the big family.
"In fact, Miss Fifi, the look in your eyes tells me that you hate more than the poor. The rich people upstairs are nothing in your eyes, and your 'house dog' Regis is half a nobleman, but he lives with no dignity in front of you, so that he has become a 'hound' with a short temper and looks down on the poor more than you. There is not much difference in the lives of the women of the Meyer family, they are usually pampered and pampered, and when the interests of the family need it, they are the goods that are sold."
Fei Fei's fist was clenched first, and then released, knowing that Roger was no longer talking and quietly lowered her head to drink sweet soup, she gritted her teeth and asked, "You're right, it's really to the point",
Then she laughed at herself and stopped talking, and she wiped her mouth and stood up without considering the lady's demeanor, "Thank you for your lunch, Eli, let's go",
"Miss Fifi",
Roger stopped her and said with a smile: "When a person is irreplaceable, no one can treat her as a commodity, or, you have enough power and wealth to control your own destiny",
"It's not a new argument, but it's still nice to the ear," Fei Fei said as she walked out of the dining room with her skirt in her hand.
Avery turned his head and gave him a thumbs up
Roger smiled and put the gold coin back on, it seemed that the "punishment" for the next month would be much better. He went upstairs and paid the money and went to the Swan Lake Hotel to find Dr. Demley, he had taken relatively few subjects, and he happened to have no classes today, and what Demley said before really piqued his interest.
Roger didn't see Lolita when he arrived at the Swan Lake Hotel, she went out shopping, and Demlay couldn't help but let Leo go with her.
"Doctor",
Roger could find Demley's room without looking, only by ear hearing, this hotel was the only one where there was a clanging sound from his room, and if it weren't for the high price he had given, he would have been thrown out long ago, but even then he was placed in the corner of the hotel.
Demley opened the door, put down the drill in his hand and said, "Stinky little ghost, is the first day of school so leisurely?", and looked at the clock in the room before two o'clock.
"Yes, there are very few classes these days", he put the sauce duck specially bought for Demlay on the table, opened the bag and the fragrance wafted out.
Demley unceremoniously took out a knife and fork, and handed him the cutlery, and said, "Little ghost, do you want to ask me about the new type of mechanical armor?"
"Haha, the doctor is also very good at analysis",
"Hmph", Demley tore off the duck leg and said: "Little ghost, we have been dealing with each other for some years, and this kind of thing still needs to be analyzed?
"Ahem Dr., we're eating right now",
Demley said: "Little ghost, if you hadn't been clever enough to threaten me with Olis I would have told you a long time ago."
"Alas, Doctor, it is I who should not be clever in front of you",
Roger knew that he should learn to be obedient at this time and satisfy the doctor's vanity.
"Tell me, little imp, how does the pit viper feel?"
Roger said: "There is no doubt that this is the best work of the Doctor so far, it has both concealment and defensive function when worn in the outer garment, and the mechanism structure is even more ingenious, especially the idea of using steel beads and glass beads as weapons is the most eye-catching."
"But there are also flaws, first of all, its defense, I have compared, compared to heavy armor, its defense is insufficient, and the other is that the number of steel beads and glass beads needs to be limited, otherwise the weight will drag down my physical skills and puppet finger skills",
Demley nodded: "Little ghost, exactly like you said, the pit viper has advantages and disadvantages, but I'm sure this is the best mechanical armor on the continent, according to the existing mechanical armor concept, it is absolutely impossible to create an armor that exceeds the pit viper's comprehensive performance."
He was adamant, and Roger was convinced of his mechanics. It can be said that Dr. Demler is an authority on mechanics wherever he goes.
Roger asked, "What do you mean by the new type of armor?"
Demley put down the half-gnawed duck leg in his hand, looked at Roger, and smiled mysteriously: "A kind of innovation, a kind of change." Completely subvert the existing concept of mechanical armor, little imp, try to imagine the possibility of qi flu in metal, otherwise it will be difficult for us to continue our conversation."
"Gas flu should be metal",
"Doctor, what do you mean?"
Suddenly, he was enlightened and thought of an amazing possibility.
