The Edward Family, Mansion.

It was a snowy night.

In the study, it was dark, and Dale sat in front of the fireplace without a fire, not knowing what he was thinking.

It was cold inside, the wind and snow outside, the temperature inside the house plummeted, and Dale listened to the howl of the wind outside, and the snowflakes on the glass windows crackled like grains of sand, covering out all other sounds, and Dale listened to it with a slight distraction.

This room is like a flat boat in the middle of a dark ocean, so fragile and lonely.

"Dale." A soft and immature female voice came from outside the door.

"Come in." Dale struck a match and ignited the fireplace in the fireplace, and the room gradually warmed up, with a warm and gentle glow lingering, like a soft and childish female voice.

The owner of the female voice walked in lightly.

She is not tall and wears an elegant and simple skirt, which looks a little plain, but it perfectly sets off her slender figure. The long blond hair that fell down to the waist was very thick, and the hairstyle was simple, just tied back casually. Her skin was as white as snow in winter, her eyes were as clear as a spring, so pure and flawless, like an angel, it was unbearable to hurt.

This is Dale Edward's wife, Jane Edward.

Jane came up behind Dale and put her hand on his shoulder.

"You...... Are you okay? ”

"It should be fine." Dale sighed, the grimace on his face making him look like he had aged ten years.

"Jane, I don't know what to do." There was a hint of bitterness on Dale's face, and as he spoke, he stretched out a hand, put his palm on the back of Jane's delicate hand, and turned his head to look at her, a mist welling up in his eyes.

Aside from facing Jane, Dale never showed his vulnerable side.

"Dale......" Jane said softly, "it's nothing, no matter what happens, I'll always be with you......"

Everything was harmonious, but suddenly a very discordant sound mixed in, breaking the silence.

"Pounds!"

The door was pushed open with a slam open, and a blonde man with a hooked nose and piercing eyes that looked a little like Dale pushed the door open:

"Hey! My precious brother, your dear brother is here...... ......" Looking at the scene in front of him, the blonde man's voice became smaller and smaller, and then he smiled awkwardly:

"Uh...... It seems that I have not come at the right time, you continue, you continue. Then he turned and wanted to leave.

"Let's talk first." Jane said with a smile at the blonde man, then left and closed the door.

After Jane left, Dale quickly retracted the fragility that was overflowing in his heart, and said lightly, "Sit down, big brother." With that, he moved his chair to the table.

The blonde man is his older brother, Reintes Edward, who is a private investigator by profession and a legendary figure in the detective world.

I saw Rheintesa take a chair and sit very casually opposite Dell, with an embarrassed smile on his face.

"What do you think...... What will they end up looking like? Dale said lightly, without the slightest hint of the fragility he had shown in front of Jane just now.

In addition to Jane, because he was the heir of the Edward family, out of the need to strengthen his power through political marriage, Dale arranged two other wives for him before he inherited the position of the patriarch of the family.

Dale is a very responsible person, and as long as he has some kind of power, even if it is a very small power, he wants to be able to fulfill the corresponding obligations perfectly.

Either you don't care about it, or you have to manage it well.

The political marriage of the family is conducive to the development of the family's power, and out of the need for responsibility, he chose to marry.

Under normal circumstances, Dale does not choose what power he wants, such as the position of the heir to the patriarch of the family.

But he can't take this position, because his brother Reintes is just a 'prodigal' who likes to walk on the unknown road wholeheartedly to seek the truth, and he can't be the head of the family.

There is no way, for the sake of ability, the eldest brother will not inherit the position of the patriarch of the Edward family, but if he does not take this position, then the position of the head of the family in this generation will fall into the hands of the side.

My father was a person with a very serious sense of tradition, and it was absolutely impossible for him to tolerate the position of the head of the family falling into the hands of a sideline.

Therefore, Dell, who likes magic research and education, was forcibly pulled over by his father to take the position of the heir to the patriarch of the family and become the future ruler of the Edward family.

"What kind of ...... will they all become," Reintes thought inwardly, biting the knuckle of his right index finger.

Dale's three sons have been observing for a long time during this time, and their temperaments are very clear.

Reines let go of the index knuckle of his right hand, looked up, and said, "I'm just a detective, not a prophet, so you'd better not be too sure about me." ”

"Hmm." Dale nodded at him.

"None of them lived up to your expectations."

"None of ......," Dale muttered to himself.

"That's right."

"Libutt is a person who yearns for freedom very much, and his talent for warrior cultivation is very high, according to my contact with him these days, if his growth environment does not change, his future profession is very likely to become a mercenary."

"Aster's personality is very similar to Jane's." Reintes said, his eyes meeting Dale's: "You don't know Esther, but you should know Jane." ”

"Artist?" Dale spoke his heart's answer.

"Yes." Reintes nodded at him, "And then the last ......"

"Crete, he's very similar to you, and he clearly has his own goals."

"The greatest magician on the continent." Dale said, sighing, and his youngest son, Crete, had been babbling this sentence since he was sensible.

"You know?" Reintes raised an eyebrow at him, feeling a little surprised.

"Jane's child, after all." Dale said.

Of his three wives, Jane was the one he loved the most, and he naturally loved Crete.

Moreover......

He and Jane are from the same place, the blue planet called Earth, the ancient civilization known as China.

"So none of the three of them is suitable for cultivation as the heir of the family patriarch?" Thinking of this, Dale couldn't help but hold his forehead.

"Let them follow their dreams, or let one of them be like you, a second-rate ruler of a big family, decide for themselves." Reintes slumped in his chair and said mercilessly.

"I'm not here to cover you." Dale spoke in a displeased.

"You are more suitable than me in our generation, what do you have to do with your brother? If I were more suitable than you, even if I didn't want to do it, I would be tied to the position of heir to the family by my father at all times. "You're a very responsible person, unlike me, I'm a prodigal, and if I were the patriarch of the Edward family, it wouldn't take long to destroy the family." ”

"Hmph, whatever you say, you have a reason." Dale said coldly, not wanting to go deeper into this topic with Reintes.

"By the way, Dale, Crete's personality may be a bit problematic, you need to pay more attention." Reintes said, then biting the knuckle of his right index finger.

This is a very worrying thing.
