Lane Kane looked at the boy in front of him with mixed feelings.

The hatred passed down from generation to generation made him have no good feelings for the boy in front of him. But now the situation they are facing makes him have no more choice.

In fact, when he said that sentence, he already regretted it. Faced with an embattled situation, he shouldn't have some such complaints. At the end of the day, everything is self-made.

But regret is useless.

Looking at the boy's cold and distant expression, he also knew that the bad first impression had been made, and it was useless to say more now.

Of course, if you want to soften your attitude now, although it seems to be a good decision, it is still a good decision, at least the fact that you know the current affairs is not a bad characteristic.

But...... He couldn't soften after all.

"By the way, this is Miss Gemma Farley, my assistant."

Seeing that Lane Kane was caught in a visible entanglement, Luke instead rose a trace of curiosity.

The other party's hatred for him for no reason is actually not difficult to guess. It is nothing more than the various grievances of the ancestors of the above generations or more than a dozen generations.

Such things are not uncommon among ordinary people, let alone nobles who regard inheritance as extremely important?

Maybe your ancestors more than ten generations ago had a conflict with the ancestors of another family more than ten generations ago, in order to ensure the legitimacy of the inheritance, many times. The heirs of the next generation and each other become natural objects of conflict.

Passed down from generation to generation, it may be a quarrel at first, then it becomes a personal conflict, and slowly it may evolve into a bloody conflict.

None of this is uncommon.

But if you really want to say it, Luke feels that he is very wronged, after all, according to the records, his people rarely have contact with the outside world, that is, this pot is most likely carried for another gunter. However, given that there is only one single seedling left of the two Gaunts, it is not good to say anything.

He is not curious about hatred, it is nothing more than old accounts. But he was very curious about the entanglement, what drove the young man in front of him to come to talk about cooperation with him, or even become a vassal?

Gemma gestured to the two opposites. She sat here, recognized by Luke as an assistant, not a servant, which meant that she didn't have to grovel in front of the two of them.

After all, Luke wouldn't let her do this, and the others were even less qualified.

"Hello Miss Farley. Many people were speculating about where you would go after graduation, but I didn't expect that Mr. Gaunt was the first to go. ”

Old Lance smiled mildly and friendly, a little kind of elder.

"The boss just values me. And the employment conditions he gave were very generous, and I had no reason to refuse. ”

Gemma responds with a flawless polite expression.

She had no intention of getting too close to Old Lance, and most of the properties she was going to manage next came from the Lance family. If Old Lance is a smart person, he will naturally not leave too obvious a backhand in these places, and may even not leave a backhand at all. However, it is difficult to erase the background color left by the Lance family's business for many years.

Naturally, future development will inevitably have to deal with the Lance family. Now she is friendly with the Lance family, even if Luke himself will not be uneasy, but from the bottom of her heart, Gemma also thinks that this is irresponsible to Luke.

So she would only be polite to old Lance.

Old Lance's smile remained the same, but his overall expression became distant from his previous closeness.

"Yes, it seems that your ability is indeed very strong, and you have actually received such attention from Mr. Gaunt."

The two of them are gossiping about each other, mainly because they don't want the scene to be too embarrassing.

Over there, Luke looked at Rien Kane with a somewhat haughty expression. The grievances on Kane's face have never dissipated. These two people now feel pretty much the same.

One sulks all the time, and the other makes up his mind to treat the other as fun.

Such a scene lasted for a long time. So much so that with the eloquence of Gemma and Old Lance, they are about to pull those unnutritious car reels to the second reincarnation.

The two of them can't get down to business without Luke's consent. Seeing that the scene was about to become more embarrassing, Gemma still couldn't hold back, and under the cover of her robe, she gently poked Luke with her wand.

Luke then reacted, oh yes, there are two more people here.

"Ahem, Lance, Gemma, you two should go talk about the inheritance first."

Gemma was stunned for a moment when she heard this, but before she could speak, she saw Luke's gentle eyes.

"There is no suspicion in employing people, and there is no need to suspect people. I believe in you, and I am confident that you can keep your original intention. ”

The first half of this is quite nice. Then the second half made Gemma roll her eyes at Luke very rudely.

If you're not loyal, you'll be loyal to me, won't you......

And the old Lance on the other side glanced at Lane Kane with secret hatred, this guy's appearance is really not a good thing!

But now that Luke had spoken, he couldn't say anything more. You can't decide on the first day of becoming a vassal, and immediately give the new boss a big dismissal.

After the two left, Luke's gentle expression instantly retracted. looked at Lane Kevin, who was staring at him on the other side, and said with a chuckle, "If you have anything, please tell me as soon as possible." I don't have that much time to spend here with you. If you don't think you're ready, go back. ”

"I don't know what conflicts there are between our two families, but if you go back and think about it, maybe I'm not here for you. The tradition of the Kane family shouldn't be like this! ”

Luke said this with sincerity, even in his eyes and emotions, which made Rien Kane, who heard the mockery in these words, a little confused.

It sounds like the other party is really doing it for his good.

So after being silent for so long, he seemed to finally overcome himself, and said with a calm expression, "Joke, Mr. Gaunt." If I had other options, how could I possibly come to you. ”

Luke: "......"

Luke was genuinely stunned. What he meant just now was more of urging, and he didn't want to continue wasting time with this guy. It's ironic that a guy like him, who is so indecisive that he doesn't look like an ancestor at all, can actually become the patriarch of the Kane family.

It's really tactful, but it doesn't mean you can't hear it.

Of course, everyone will not turn their faces when they say such words, and Luke's initial plan was to provoke the other party to speak first. After all, only by talking can we move things forward.

But I never expected that this guy was so sincere that he couldn't hear such words.

The Kane family is really a bit in decline.

Luke was thinking about something that he didn't have, and Len Kane's mouth wasn't idle.

It seems like he hasn't confided in anyone in a long time, so much so that he can barely control his mouth when he speaks.

"It's just a few words of bickering, who would have thought that the Bock family really wanted to push our family into a corner."

"They said I molested their heir's fiancée. How could I possibly do such a thing! I'm just introducing her to the 13 special uses of the doorkey as normal. ”

"Now that the Bock family is preparing to kill them all, oh my god I'm about to collapse!"

"None of my former allies want to help me, not even the Ministry of Magic! Do you know what Connery Fudge told me when I was in the past? ”

"Oh my God, he told me it was going to be hard! He had no scruples about the friendship we had for many years of cooperation! ”

"I slammed the door in anger and left, and the people of the Kane family would not say a word to such an ungrateful person, so I burned all the letters he sent me later."

"The Noether family is pretending to be a peacemaker, ha! Old Nott's for people who don't know! Neither of his two sons is a good thing! ”

"I didn't pay attention to it, and just closed the door to thank the guests!"

The more he spoke, the more excited he became, and Luke listened with a strange look on his face. Looking at Rion Kane's expression, it became more and more subtle.

After the excitement, Lynn's mood gradually lowered.

"But I still have to find a way to communicate with people, and I have to sell the portkeys. I also have the idea of working on a new portkey. But the money is not enough......"

At this time, Luke raised his hand and raised his palm at Lynn. Motioned for him to stop.

Ryon was surprised, but stopped.

"All in all, you can't sell the portkey because you offended someone, come to me now, right?"

Luke summed it up with a serious expression.

He'd had enough of this guy's tirade, and he couldn't get to the point, and the more he talked, the more it made Luke despair.

If the person in front of him is the average level of the current nobles, then he simply doesn't want to win over any pure-blood nobles, and simply re-supports the nobles from the pure-blood family.

Things are hard? Then don't you do it?

What is this? People want to negotiate a condition with you, but if you can't negotiate, turn your face, that's normal. But you don't know that people are going to negotiate terms with you, isn't it a bit ......

"Yes."

As if to spit out the frustration in his heart, Lynn's face once again returned to the level of slight indifference and conciseness of his words.

"OK, no problem, you want me to invest? Or do you want me to help with distribution? ”

As soon as the words came out, Luke patted his head, shook his head a little helplessly, and said, "I'm all lost, if it's just such a thing, you can go up and talk to Gemma yourself." ”

Things must be a good thing, in fact, the Bock family should be interested in this thing, but I never expected that this guy in front of me was a little rammed. Now I guess the Bock family also has a headache.

And there is actually a matter of the Noether family in this, which Luke did not expect. Old Knott looked inconspicuous, but he didn't expect to be involved in so many things. At this point, his second son, Theodore Noether, and he didn't want to think about it at all.

"I knew I was looking for you! The Gaunt family may be cautious, crazy, and show-off, but you value commitments and have money! Old man Knott would never have thought that I would find the person he didn't want me to find! ”

Lane Kane looked overly excited again. And this time, what he said was still very informative.

Luke was stunned for a moment, then frowned.

Old Nott ...... What does that mean?

But Lane Kane grimaced: "But I don't just want you to sell me the keys to the house. ”

Luke frowned, "What else do you have?" ”

Luke didn't want to get too involved with him right now. There is one less door keeper on this thing's mouth, and it is obvious that his previous indifference is both a disguise and a layer of protection for himself. The person who gave him this habit is really well-intentioned.

"I've heard that the Gaunt family has some research on house keys. I want to see it. ”

Lynn's face was serious, and Luke's face was speechless.

He didn't speak, he just moved his body back, then raised his head and looked at Rien Kane in a condescending manner.

But Lyne didn't react at all. still looked at him with an embarrassed face, and in the depths of the embarrassment, there was still a little bit of hope.

Luke felt like he was about to suffocate his internal wounds.

"So, at what cost?"

Luke said somewhat helplessly.

"I'll show you, yes, at a price, at a price that I can accept."

In fact, handing over the dealership of the special door key to Luke was already a huge price. But Luke still wants to squeeze and see, maybe he can make something.

"What more could you want? I don't think there's much more I can give. ”

Lynn's face was grim, and he looked impersonal.

Luke touched his chin and made a thoughtful expression, and after a moment he frowned and said, "How about the technology exchange?" I can ......."

"Impossible."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lynn's direct opening

"Well...... Why? Why such a simple refusal? ”

Luke didn't wonder and refuse, but it was strange to refuse him so simply. Especially when it was seen that there was no color of anger in the dust of Lynn's emotions.

"The family instructed. If someone wants to trade your technology for another one, don't say yes. ”

Lynn's expression was embarrassed when he said this.

He wasn't averse to technology exchanges. He didn't think anyone else could surpass him in the technology of the special door key, but since this was the behesitation of his family, he had no intention of rebelling.

And, as the family said at the time, 'stay away from this guy who offered you a technology exchange,' but unfortunately, he can't refuse Luke now. Otherwise, you will really push yourself to a dead end. So he chose to compromise once.

And Luke looked at this expressionless Rien.

"Otherwise, we'll ...... it like this"
