Chapter 256: Anyway, You Belong to Me After All
As the days passed, Lynn's life became more and more peaceful.
Since the news broke that Blazer was working for Christine, the air around Blazer's house seemed to be much quieter, and there was no more hidden rumour.
Although it may be an illusion, the wind should blow or continue to blow, but at least Lynn has enough time now.
Under Lynn's operation, he continued to acquire assets through mergers and acquisitions, and then used the transfer to Christine's charity and mortgages to merchants to obtain the huge amount of money he had on the surface, and this rich wealth could be regarded as feeding the people of Christine's family.
Because of this, Corina is also praised higher and higher, at least no one will dare to ignore her words anymore.
For the entire Christine, Kelina is their second parent, and Christine's original wealth is not worth mentioning under the benefits she brings.
Of course, this is not a long-term solution.
Acquisitions are at a loss; The money obtained by the mortgage cannot be the original price; And the final proceeds will be distributed to Christine.
In the long run, it is inevitable that false prosperity will explode.
So Lynn decided to slow down a bit.
Anyway, now that the security issue has been guaranteed, no one will dare to disobey Christine's face and directly target them for a while.
The takeover was put on hold, but of course the money offered each month remained the same, and according to Lynn's speculation, at least they could sustain a two-year bubble without anyone deliberately investigating.
It's just that it's still a little difficult for such a big action to happen without incident.
After a month, the royal family finally made a move.
Although they did not set various rules on the face and did not allow Christine to continue to attack their opponents through malicious competition, they could help Christine's opponents.
During this time, the royal family promulgated a number of policies in favor of individual businesses, and also issued a large number of subsidies, by using the possibility of more lucrative profits in the future, to curb the idea of merchants wanting to exchange the present through industry.
In the final analysis, in fact, the royal family uses the same method as Lynn, which is to burn money.
It's just that compared to Lynn, the money owned by the royal family must be more abundant, and the hard top can boil Lynn to death, so Lynn honestly chose to settle down.
Without the income from the realization of the mortgage of the real estate, the turnover in the account books dropped a lot in an instant, but fortunately, Christine's people never checked the accounts, as long as they continued to maintain the original money on the surface, they would not notice the abnormality.
However, under the interference of the royal family, the cycle that could have lasted for two years has now plummeted rapidly, and the bubble has contracted to the extent that it is only half a year left in the blink of an eye.
Lynn had to come up with a solution for most of the year.
Either make this bubble a reality, or run away immediately.
The former is too tough, and the latter is unrealistic.
It was a dilemma, and Lynn was quite distressed, but it didn't take long for someone to give him a third choice.
In the cafΓ© in late autumn, Erin squinted and smiled, staring at the face of a teenager in front of her, who had gradually moved from youth to maturity.
"Why, I haven't seen you for so long, don't you want to say that you miss me?"
Lynn held the warm coffee cup in both hands and smiled faintly, "If I want to say that I miss you, then are you going to say that I don't do my job every day?" β
"yes." Erin admitted calmly, and said with a smile, "But I'm a woman, so what's wrong with having a bit of a two-way standard privilege." β
β.β
Lynn shook her head helplessly, raised her eyes and met the other party's gaze: "How are you doing?" β
"That's good." The corners of Erin's lips twitched, "That idiot is not my opponent at all, he just made a simple sleeve, and he honestly got into it, and he made a big ugly." β
"Now, most of the family has realized that this guy is a mud that can't be helped, and they no longer resist letting me take over all affairs."
"That's good."
"yes, that's good." The girl tapped the cup lightly with the silver coffee spoon, and with the crisp sound of ping-pong, she said, "So, do you want to come to me now?" β
"Huh?" Lynn was slightly stunned, "What do you mean?" β
"It means, officially become my husband."
β.β
Rao is Lynn, and he can't help but be surprised by the girl's overly shocking words.
"Are you serious?"
"When did I like jokes?" Erin straightened up, leaned against the back of the sofa, and looked at him lazily, "Before, I said that you had better go to Christine, because I don't have enough say at home to protect you. β
"But now it's different, I already have enough ability, as long as you stand by my side, no one dares to say anything."
Maybe it's because she really has power, the girl's words actually contain a little domineering like self-respect, and those clear eyes are also dyed with a little non-angry and self-threatening demeanor.
It's a few similarities with Lynn.
In response to the girl's proposal, Lynn pondered for a moment and said, "So, what is the price?" β
"The price?" Erin laughed, "Is there anything else we need to talk about between us?" β
Lynn didn't speak, just stared at her.
"Okay, okay."
The girl spread her hands and said, "The price is that you have to take our surname." β
"Money?"
"Yes, it's a big deal."
"Well, I think you should know my reply."
Lynn had done so many things before, just to ensure that the surname Blazer would not sink into the ocean of the Rhine, and now he wanted to give up his surname to join the other party, how could he agree?
"Hush."
The attempt was fruitless, and Erin pursed her lips, but there was not much disappointment.
She already knew the result before she said it, and the reason why she still said it was really just a try.
What if it happens?
- Then she will most likely regret it.
She's not an aunt in her forties, and she's not at all welcome waste who just wants to eat soft rice.
Taking a sip of coffee, Erin looked up again: "Can I think that your refusal is just a refusal to change your last name?" β
"Huh?"
"If all you refuse is to change your last name or become my husband, you can keep the conversation going." Erin narrowed her eyes slightly, "Because next, I still want to invite you to join us." β
"As collaborators."
Lynn frowned slightly, and her fingertips tapped lightly on the tabletop, pondering the deep meaning behind the girl's words.
Erin's words probably mean that she needs his help, but what she said is not "she", but "them", does this mean that the people she refers to who need help are the family behind her?
What can I do to help her?
Playing Infernal Affairs?
But Karan and Christine don't seem to have too many positive conflicts, and even they need to help each other in some way, otherwise once the original balance is broken, there is only one left, and the direction of the spear is determined.
Lynn, who couldn't think of cause and effect, looked at Erin: "It seems that you have something I don't know." β
"You'll find out right away." Erin whispered, "In the southern province of Cayarillo, there are a total of twenty-six lords who have territory there, and now, seventeen of them are ready to take control of Caarillo by force. β
"Stlelin, seven lords have already made the move; Ningarom, the border town of Marienburg, has been put on alert at Level 3. With the exception of Sotros and Catalena, which are on the verge of northern permafrost, there has been no movement, and more or less riots have begun to occur in the other provinces. β
Lynn's palm clenched as he held the coffee cup, and asked in disbelief, "What you said is true?" Why don't I get the message? β
Erin glanced at him: "Your father's intelligence agency has never been in his hands, and at the same time, there are people who deliberately want to suppress the spread of these restless news to Catalena, how can you know before it really breaks out?" β
β.β
"Anyway." Erin stirred the coffee with her coffee spoon and whispered, "Troubled times are coming." β
Lynn still frowned: "What the hell is going on?" β
"It's simple." "A year ago, there was actually news of a possible riot in Catalena, but for some reason, these people who were said to be going to rebel eventually fell silent, but flies don't bite eggs, and since there are such rumors, there must be clues to follow." β
"And recently, after a silence, they suddenly exploded again."
"The exact reason is not yet known - of course it does not need to be known, the rebellion does not need any reason, the scepter is the best purpose - but compared to the last information, this time there are too many more people joining."
"After the royal family learned the news and tried to control the situation silently, they sent the Knights to suppress it in advance, but this suppression seems to be exactly what the other side wants, and after the first crackdown, everyone except Catalena knows about the Knights' violence."
"For a while, the outside world led the owner to be in danger."
"Tsk." Hearing this, Lynn couldn't help but smack his tongue, "Yang Mou." β
When it is confirmed that chaos cannot be allowed to die in chaos, there is only one way to solve chaos.
- Strangulation.
However, once such an act is committed, it will inevitably cause turmoil; But if you don't, you'll just have to watch the other person stand up and give you a stick.
At this point, one might think that it would be nice to have a patrol around those who showed signs of rioting, but you should know that if you want to stop them at the first time when they get up, then these patrols must at least be real soldiers.
As the saying goes, as soon as the spear comes out with a million gold, it is not a small amount of gold to keep the armed forces stationed around in the form of constant vigilance.
Compared to a real war, Lynn's behavior in Catalena is almost no different from a petty fight.
Therefore, it is reasonable that the royal family chose to force it.
"I'm starting to wonder what they're going to do next." Lynn looked at Erin, "So, do you want to make some money in this chaos?" β
"Of course." Erin said of course, "Our roots are very deep, and the civil war and rebellion alone cannot shake our existence, and since the roots are deep, why can't we stretch out a little bit of branches?" β
"I'm not one of those antiques who just want to stay in the dirt and die of old age."
The girl's eyes burned with a raging fire, scorching and boiling.
She stared into Lynn's eyes with a burning gaze: "Lynn, come and help me, so that we can stand together on the highest mountain and look down on the world!" β
Erin's words contained a rare enthusiasm, which was enough to infect any young man with certain ambitions.
But Lynn didn't say yes at the first time.
"I can help you, but I don't necessarily need to stand with you."
He said what he meant when he wanted to ask Erin for help.
"Huh?" Erin was surprised and a little puzzled, "Why do you say that?" With the ability of the two of us, there is no doubt that we are a strong combination, and if we want to get a piece of the pie in the troubled times, it is the right way to combine what we have in our hands. β
"That being said, but." Lynn smiled faintly, "If what I have now is regarded as one, you as two, one plus two is greater than three, which is indeed good, but if combined with my current situation, I have more than one, at least one and five." β
"Rather than asking me to throw away the zero and five and let it dissipate, why can't we use it and let it join us and integrate it into us? Or, it is also a good choice to let this 0.5 risk show its own value and make me a two. β
β.β
Erin blinked, suddenly interested.
"It seems that my proposal was indeed a good choice."
Lynn also blinked, "So shouldn't I say thank you to you?" β
"Oh?" Erin chuckled, "Just thanks?" β
"So, what else?"
"Well," the girl's smile gradually became subtle, "I heard that you are very good at dancing?" Even those people in the nightclub who don't know how to appreciate can think that you dance well? β
β.β
Lynn's smiling face gradually stiffened, but Erin said with a smile as if she hadn't seen it.
"Not only can you dance, but you can also talk tricks into deceiving other people's little princesses, so that she can't help but run out with you to attend someone else's wedding."
"Well, this"
"Huh? What? Do you want to explain? Come, I'll listen. β
β.β
Looking at the rare embarrassment on the young man's face, Erin smiled very happily this time.
After a long while, she took a breath and said, "Don't worry, I don't want to use the status of the so-called 'fiancΓ©e' to morally accuse you of anything, and besides, playing with a few dolls is not something worthy of criticism." β
There was suddenly a little more contempt in the girl's eyes.
"Anyway, you're mine."
