Chapter 417: Alba Manor
Silver-grey stretch cars drive along Madrid's wide roads, lined with Gothic buildings in the Zhou Zhou architectural style, interspersed with modern high-rise buildings, giving it a cosmopolitan feel.
Zhang Beixing sat in the spacious back seat of the car, gently crossed Erlang's legs to enjoy the scenery on both sides of the road, and Richard on the side, probably because he was a little nervous by Zhang Beixing's words when he was on the plane, and he didn't rest well.
After introducing Zhang Beixing to the general situation of the Alba family, he began to close his eyes and pretend to sleep.
Zhang Beixing still didn't know where the car was going at this time, but he felt that the atmosphere of the surrounding city was gradually weakening.
With the movement of the car, the standard European-style courtyard houses around the road gradually increased, and the high-rise buildings have disappeared, Zhang Beixing knows, the cities in Europe and China are still obviously different, can see such a scene is probably to the suburbs of Madrid, and see the car does not slow down at all, Zhang Beixing estimates, about the next step is to enter the mountain.
Sure enough, as Zhang Beixing thought, after driving to an extremely deserted section of the road, it can be said that there are almost no people around, and the car suddenly turns sharply into an inconspicuous path.
Zhang Beixing looked at the side of the road with interest, this inconspicuous path was not as winding as expected, although it was not spacious, but a longer and wider car was speeding on it.
The roadside is full of dense trees, and the sunlight shines through, and the shadows are scattered on the road, which is a bit of a paradise.
But this kind of scenery did not last long, because through the front window, Zhang Beixing saw that from the front not far ahead, the winding path suddenly disappeared, and became a flat and open cement road like the center of Madrid.
And Zhang Beixing knew in an instant that this must be the road to the Alba family estate.
The current Zhang Beixing is not the little dick of a few months ago, and he is in contact with the top figures of various forces, among which family forces are very common.
For example, several major families in Europe, Zhang Beixing has heard of it for a long time, and all of them are self-proclaimed nobles, even if their ancestors have no merits, they will make up some of them stiffly, so as to show the nobility of the bloodline.
And the hobbies are all extraordinarily the same.,Although the family is huge.,But the core members generally like to live in a manor or castle that is extremely far away from the city.,It seems that more appearances in front of ordinary people will reduce their style.。
Looking at the distance between this Alba family and the city, it is obviously not noble enough, at least not to the point where they can only go home by helicopter.
The wide section of the road begins as the private domain of the Alba family, and a row of black slim-fitting suits, white shirts, and sturdy bodyguards with headsets stand neatly outside the horses, neatly separating the worlds of nobles and ordinary people.
Of course, they are also very discerning, and the moment they saw the pure black Rolls-Royce, the leading bodyguard pressed the headset, and while notifying the manor, he arranged for someone to pull the horse quickly.
Zhang Beixing's car, without even slowing down, drove straight into this piece of Alba's private territory.
After the car drove on the wide concrete road, the two sides were completely different.
The growth of trees is no longer wanton, every moment is carefully pruned, Zhang Beixing looked at these delicately shaped trees with interest.
These European aristocrats don't have many real skills, but they do have a set of enjoyment of life.
Zhang Beixing pondered whether to take care of the trees at the gate of the ninth game when he turned around, as for how much it would cost to take care of them like this? What to do? It's not something he should think about.
Anyway, as long as Zhang Beixing has such an idea now, there will naturally be a lot of people rushing to do these things.
It is no exaggeration to say that if the Alba family now knew Zhang Beixing's thoughts, today would be the last day for these trees in Madrid.
This wide cement road is extremely long, but with Zhang Beixing's extraordinary perception ability, he can clearly know that this cement road is a huge ring that surrounds the entire mountain.
As the car reached a semi-circular position, the speed of the car began to slow down slowly.
At this time, Zhang Beixing was already able to see the appearance of Alba Manor.
A huge three-storey palace sits between mountains, surrounded on three sides by mountains, and directly in front of it is unobstructed, with a very open view of most of Madrid.
If it's night, the night view here is a sight to behold.
Inside the estate, neat white stone pavement, well-manicured bushes, and a magnificent fountain statue.
The quiet luxury here is revealed everywhere, as if there are no troubles to be able to live here, but in the eyes of Zhang Beixing's half-step transcendent, all this is an illusion.
As soon as he entered the manor, Zhang Beixing could feel a tense atmosphere enveloping the entire manor, and since the car entered the door, it could not go back and forth, and dozens of eyes locked on the car.
Most of them though. It's just that there are some A and B level martial artists, and only a few can barely reach the grandmaster level.
Among them, the most hidden is the martial artist whose strength is about half a step grandmaster, but in Zhang Beixing's opinion, there is not much difference.
Even if the entire manor went together, it wouldn't pose the slightest threat to him.
The car slowly stopped in front of the rather solemn gate of the palace, and at this time, Richard, feeling the change in the environment, opened his eyes and began to look at the surrounding environment.
Through the car window. Looking at the overall environment of the manor, this young master from the Federation family did not have any superfluous expression, and even had a little disapproval in his eyes.
It can be seen that the luxurious architectural environment here is indeed very ordinary in Richard's opinion, and this Alba family is indeed a little worthless compared to the federal family.
If it weren't for the fact that the Federation family was still a little weak compared to the alliance of the other five major families, Richard would never care about this idle matter.
When the car came to a complete stop, and without waiting for the driver to open the door for him, Richard quickly opened the door and walked towards Zhang's northbound side.
For the sake of the future help of the federal family, the face that should be put down is still to be put down.
But the moment Richard got out of the car, several people who were already standing at the gate of the palace hurriedly bowed respectfully and slightly.
At this time there were five people standing at the entrance of the palace, the leader of which was a middle-aged man dressed in a low-key but gorgeous manner, with an angular face, high eyebrows and nose, and a standard European face.
Pulling next to him stood a noble lady who was also dressed in a low-key and gorgeous manner, and it could be seen that the two were husband and wife, and the others
There are three people except one, a man dressed as a butler in a black suit.
The other two, with the same hair as the old man at the head, were both brown and slightly curly, with some similarity between their eyebrows, and their age was the opposite of Richard's.
The expressions on the faces of several people at this time were very humble, and they all half-bowed their heads.
After taking it to Richard and personally welcoming Zhang Beixing off the car, the old man's face was suddenly a little excited.
Hurriedly took two steps forward and came to Zhang Beixing's side.
"Minister Zhang, you're finally here!"
The middle-aged man used Huaxia, and although the accent was a little lame, Zhang Beixing could still understand it.
Zhang Beixing nodded lightly, now his face is no less recognizable than that of international first-line stars when he walks on the street, and middle-aged men can recognize it, and Zhang Beixing doesn't think it's strange.
Just looking at the way he looks, the Alba family really can't do anything about that monster, otherwise they wouldn't be so excited when they see themselves.
Richard stood beside Zhang Beixing and introduced Zhang Beixing: "This is the current patriarch of the Alba family, Alba White. ”
Hearing Richard's introduction to himself, the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and then reacted quickly, with a little apology on his face, and straightened his expression.
"In Huaxia's case, I took the liberty of it, Minister Zhang.
Let me introduce myself again, my name is Alba White, the patriarch of the Alba family.
You can also call me White, this is my wife and two sons, and our Mr. Butler.
The people who can greet you today are my most trusted people, and of course there are many members of the Alba family, who are now in the room.
I'll introduce you to them one by one at dinner. ”
Zhang Beixing followed the man's introduction and swept past several other people one by one, and as long as he looked at Zhang Beixing, he would immediately bow slightly.
However, the ultimate purpose of going abroad this time is to be on this unknown monster, and Zhang Beixing has no interest in experiencing the etiquette of these big European families, as well as the so-called dinner party.
"Mr. White, I don't think the dinner party will have to.
As soon as I entered the manor, I felt that you had arranged a lot of guards, and there were several grandmasters in it, even half-step grandmasters.
I don't think your family members are in the mood for any evening at this time either. ”
Hearing Zhang Beixing's words, the expression on White's face hesitated for a moment, and then instantly turned bitter.
"It's really Minister Zhang, I wanted to ask you to settle down first, and then talk to you slowly.
I didn't expect you to know so well by now.
You're right, it's true that our entire family isn't in the mood for a dinner party right now.
At night, everyone will be extremely nervous, and as long as there is any abnormal noise, they will subconsciously think of that monster.
Sleeping has almost become a luxury. ”
After White said this, Zhang Beixing took a closer look and found that several people present did have a tired look, obviously not resting well in the past few days.
"Has this monster caused you casualties now?"
Hearing Zhang Beixing's question, White shook his head.
"Not yet, we're very safe, and we've been repelled by us a few times in the last few times.
It's just that the thermal weapons don't work on him, and almost all the mercenaries we invited have been killed by him.
Even the half-step Grand Master was injured by him last night, and he couldn't make another move.
If you don't come today, we don't know if we'll ever see you. ”
Zhang Beixing nodded, it seems that the biochemical transformation of the BE organization has indeed made a lot of progress.
It's just that this is obviously still flawed, even a half-step grand master can be injured, and in the past few days, there have been no casualties in the entire manor.
If you had done it yourself, you would have wiped out the entire manor in the first night.
"That's not right, since the half-step great master can't help him, he hasn't broken in for so many days?"
White sighed softly.
Stretch out your hand and take Zhang Beixing to the palace, please.
"Minister Zhang, let's go in and talk, I'll ask Mr. Jimmy to tell you about the specific situation of the monster, oh, by the way, he is the half-step grandmaster who has fought with monsters."
Zhang Beixing didn't object when he heard this, listening to the description of a half-step great grandmaster, it was better than an ordinary person who hadn't even seen a monster.
White led Zhang northbound into the palace gates.
As soon as you enter, you can feel a sense of opulence, with delicately patterned and carved tiles covering the floor, a huge pool in the center, and spiral staircases on either side leading to the second floor.
The height of the top of more than 10 meters instantly gives people the feeling of entering a church.
It's hard to imagine that this is a private residence, and the only fly in the ointment is that above the corridor on the second floor, there is a man with the same brown curly hair as White.
The same European face, except that this man's face was a little unruly, which was obviously different from the humility of the White family.
The man was condescending and looked at Zhang Beixing with disdain.
The moment White saw this man, his face changed, and he directly scolded in a low voice: "Didn't you let you stay in the room?" Who let you out. ”
Hearing White's scolding, the man snorted coldly, dropped a disdainful look and walked into the room one by one.
White turned his head and looked at Zhang Beixing apologetically.
"I'm really sorry, Minister Zhang, this is my eldest son, who is also the eldest son you said, he accidentally injured his legs and feet when he was young, and it was not convenient to see people, so I didn't let him come out."
Zhang Beixing nodded, but he didn't particularly care.
Although the man's eyes just now were indeed uncomfortable, it was nothing more.
White walked north through the central pool, and further on, there was a wide hall.
In the center is a large table with European classical characteristics, surrounded by four leather sofas.
After White invited Zhang Beiqin and Richard to sit down, he instructed the butler behind him, "Go and invite Mr. Jimmy over." ”
The butler, dressed in a black suit, nodded straightly, and then walked out quickly.
Didn't wait a moment.
The butler was holding a plate with a few chubby ceramic cups on top of it and steaming.
Behind the butler, there was a man with a pale face and a weak breath.
White passed two ceramic cups over the butler's plate.
"Minister Zhang, Mr. Richard, please have coffee."
Mr. Jimmy, please take a seat, Minister Zhang wants to know about the monster. ”
Jimmy, who was pale and weak, heard White talk about monsters in the moment.
His pupils shrank slightly, and his breathing instantly shortened. It seems that some bad memories come to mind...... (End of chapter)
