Section 224 - The road is narrow

If he didn't want to suffer the pain of pulling his ears, the young master of the Tiberian family hurriedly retracted back into his seat and pretended to try to deal with the arithmetic problem in front of him.

But his ears were quietly furled, and he carefully eavesdropped on the conversation between his sister and Uncle Fix.

"I'm sorry, Uncle Fix, I know you're doing it for my own good, but the current situation in the family doesn't allow me to care only about my own children's private affairs. ”

Tania stroked her smooth forehead and felt a sense of weakness, not only Uncle Fix, but even the side relatives in the family were pouting for her to give her the Lev family.

Of course, there is an essential difference between the two.

The former tends to come to the door in order to become the family help of the two siblings of Tainia and Telit, so that the descendants of the Tiberian family, who were once sheltered under the wing of their parents, can firmly control everything in the family, while the latter is trying to marry the sister of the only male son in the family, the current temporary controller of the family industry, far away, then the only remaining teenage child in the family is much easier to deal with, there are countless ways to forcibly seize the property of the main family, and perhaps various agreements to divide the Tiberium family have already been made in private。

The sinister intentions of these relatives did not escape the detection of Tania and Fix, but because of their loneliness, they could not clean up these restless guys from the family's real power for a while.

A united Tiberium family is enough to face all kinds of winds and waves, but the scattered Tiberium family may be peeled off at any time by external forces, and in the blink of an eye, they will be devoured cleanly, and there is not even a single hair left, and these short-sighted guys in the family don't care that they may only get petty profits, or even nothing.

No one saw the thrilling undercurrents beneath the infinite scenery that the Tiberium family and the Holy Flame Demon Crystal Society still maintained on the surface.

"Little Tanya has grown up and has her own ideas, okay, okay. Uncle Fix is doing this too much, I just don't want you to work so hard, you should enjoy your life like a normal daughter of a large family, go to some salons, read poetry, and have a considerate and capable man to rely on, and live a carefree life for the rest of your life. ”

Fix could only raise his hands and give up on convincing the girl with long white hair, who had a supple and beautiful hair.

In everyone's original memory, a girl who is as kind and weak as the daughter of other families resolutely forced herself to be ruthless and strong when she suddenly encountered a big change and crisis in the family. Shengsheng maintains the family business, but no one can understand the tears and grievances behind this strength.

"That's what I thought, but the reality is"

The girl with a long ponytail found herself dumbfounded and shook her head wordlessly.

A thousand words boil down to just one sentence, in order to live!

The sisters and brothers have no way out, like walking a tightrope, they must not make mistakes, and if they are not careful, they will die without a place to be buried, in front of wealth. Human nature will become like a beast.

"Tenya, Telit, as long as I, old Fix, live, I will keep you two safe. Just do it. ”

Seeing the faint trace of exhaustion on the girl's face, Old Fix felt an indescribable distress.

This should not be something that the girl's immature shoulders can bear, but in order to protect her younger brother and herself from those side branch relatives who have completely forgotten their family affection and only have money in their eyes, they have not even bones left. I can only make myself stronger and stronger, and meet all kinds of challenges and difficulties again and again.

"Grow up. There was an altercation between guests on the second floor. ”

A maid suddenly stepped up the stairs from downstairs, followed by a female guide of the store.

Although the building has a very advanced frame structure that can be built into a building with more than ten floors, it is not equipped with an elevator, or the initial investment and operating costs of an alchemy device with similar functions are too high for even the Holy Flame Demon Crystal Society to bear.

Climbing nearly ten floors in a row was a lot of physical burden for a civilian woman, and the female guide with long dark red hair was already sweating on her forehead, but her face was more anxious.

The guests who can come to the Holy Flame Demon Crystal Club to buy the magic crystal are all from extraordinary backgrounds without exception, and if there is a dispute between them, then the magic crystal will not be able to escape the disaster of the pond fish, and if a few strong people are allowed to make trouble, this building and the entire store will be difficult to keep.

Regardless of the final outcome, it is the Chamber of Commerce that suffers.

"Donna, what's going on? What about the big steward Tiemore, why didn't he go to the scene to deal with it?"

The fatigue and grievances on the oblique single ponytail girl disappeared in an instant, and the momentum up and down her body was fierce, like a half-unsheathed sword, in the special situation she was currently facing, she chose a strong style to face the Holy Flame Demon Crystal Society.

On the one hand, it can force the other party to convince and get enough execution, and on the other hand, it can quickly form a majesty and avoid making people think that it is weak and can be bullied.

"The chief steward has just gone to contact the new magic crystal supplier, and the second steward has not come back until now after he left the morning after he left. ”

Donna bowed her head respectfully, and hurriedly reported the situation of her knowledge to the eldest lady who was acting resolutely.

There are only a few suppliers in the empire, where are the new suppliers? How can such an important resource be allowed to be meddled in casually, even the establishment of the Holy Flame Demon Crystal Society and the current monopoly predator position are still based on countless blood and darkness.

There was a nameless anger in Tanya's heart, this big steward who relied on someone to support him has always been a disobedient person, and now that something happened in the store, he made an excuse to dodge, obviously to show her face.

Sam, the second-in-charge who looked like a god, was extremely deferential on the surface, taking the sister and brother as the head of the horse, although he had never been able to catch any clues, but he seemed to have his own thoughts.

"Lord, I'll take care of it!"

As the third steward of the Holy Flame Demon Crystal Society, Fix stood up with a wooden staff, and had been recuperating at home, but he didn't expect to encounter such a thing as soon as he came over.

As the world went by, those restless fellows thought that the two siblings could not control such a huge fortune, so they gave birth to all kinds of careful thoughts, if it were not for their old age, Tainia and Tellite were not old enough. These ill-intentioned guys have long been swept out of the house, and the Tiberium family and the Holy Flame Demon Crystal will have a clean environment.

"No, Uncle Fix, I'll take care of it!Norma, you and Doris come down with me, Donna, lead the way!"

Tenya nodded to Donna, the maid and guide on standby.

"Yes!

The two responded in unison.

During working hours, everyone must address the Elder like Norma and Donna, a rule that Tenia set on her first day when she took over the Flame Crystal Society.

Donna led the way in front and headed downstairs. The two maids, Norma and Doris, each carrying a women's bayonet sword on the left and right, stood behind Tenya.

You can't underestimate this pair of extremely loyal family maids, the two of them are water-type ice and fire-type swordsmen with seventh-order strength, and the two women's stabbing swords are also very precious third-order alchemy weapons, with a combat auxiliary effect that is very compatible with the user's elemental affinity-

Holy Flame Demon Crystal Society, second floor.

The loud voice of an alchemist has managed to attract the attention of many guests, including magicians and wealthy nobles.

Lin Mo had no interest in continuing to entangle with this clown-like alchemist, completely ignoring the other party as if he had not heard of it, and walked directly to the stairs with comprador Curran.

didn't expect the other party to stand in front of him unrelentingly.

The two retinues from last time were replaced by one person. The tall, strong, male-looking retinue was replaced by an ordinary-looking middle-aged man with an ancient dagger in his hand, and another skinny, baby-faced spellcaster. The left and right guards were on each other's sides, and the three of them blocked Lin Mo's way together......

"Do you want to leave as simple as that?"

The design of the building is ingenious, with stairs connecting the upper and lower floors not in the same place on each floor, but at a distance from each other. Although it is not conducive to the convenience of getting on and off, it can invisibly increase the stay time of guests and increase the probability of a few transactions. And this design advantage does not cost one more person, a gold coin.

"Get out of here!"

Lin Mo was not interested in paying attention to this ant, but he was unwilling to suffer this insult in vain, even if the other party was an alchemist.

"Hahaha, what did I hear? Let me Zangwilli go away? What kind of place are you going to be? Boy, you were lucky last time, this time, hum! ”

The triangular-eyed alchemist, who didn't have the slightest intention of letting go, suddenly turned his head and said to the group of people around him: "Lord Reynolds, this guy once openly slandered my uncle, a well-known second-order alchemist Berdner, not only injured my two followers, but also viciously insulted us alchemists, and his arrogance was very arrogant. ”

"Idiot!"

If it weren't for the fact that he had ordered 100 kilograms of glaucomite at this Holy Flame Demon Crystal Club, Lin Mo might have taken out a Type 92 combat pistol and shot it at the head of this guy.

"What a bold man, he dares to speak disrespectfully in front of Lord Reynolds, who are you talking to? If you don't want to suffer, kneel down immediately!"

The triangular-eyed alchemist Zangewill was completely hating Lin Mera, and in the last conflict, he almost suffered a big loss, Rao was like this, and he also lost one of his followers, and another dark spellcaster was also injured a lot.

Although he later brought the followers of his second-order cultivator uncle Berdner back to look for the field, Lin Mo had disappeared, and even the staff on the scene did not know what to do.

"Young man, if you can be a friend, you can't be an enemy, if you have a misunderstanding with the alchemist Zangwill, it is better to kneel down and ask for his forgiveness, I don't think he is an unreasonable person. ”

The Lord Reynolds that Zangwille was referring to was six or seven paces away, surrounded by four capable guards and several entourage, with neatly combed brown and yellow curls, richly dressed, obviously not low, but looking Lin Mo up and down without smiling.

It seems to be making peace, but in fact, the ass is completely crooked, and he is aggressively on Zangwill's side, putting pressure on Lin Mo.

That's right, it's a bully, relying on identity, relying on a lot of people, as if they have eaten each other, and their proud eyes are full of disdain.

"Mistress Reynolds, you are such a kind man! If my uncle had been here, perhaps this boy would have no bones left. ”

Zangwill gently swiped the pot-bellied man in black and white, but he was secretly happy in his heart, the Lord Reynolds who spoke for him was a distinguished fourth-class civil official.

If the people don't fight with the officials, what can they do even if they are just a war officer, no matter how powerful they are, can they be more powerful than the imperial army?

Seeing Lin Mo in civilian clothes twice, and not seeing other guards and entourage, Zangweil always thought that the other party was an ordinary warrior, at most a person from the Bright God Court, but that was only a civilian identity, how could he compare with the honorable alchemists and imperial officials, even if he had suffered losses, he still never put the other party in his eyes.

"Your Excellency?"

The comprador Curran who was following Lin Mo showed fear on his face, his legs and stomach trembled, and none of the other party could provoke a small person like him.

"There's nothing to be afraid of these guys, Curran, you go first!"

Lin Mo comforted the poor comprador disapprehantly.

"Thank you, my lord!"

Curran kept in mind not to cause trouble to Lin Mo, so he never called him by his name, but temporarily replaced him with an adult.

"Wait a minute, did I tell you to go? pariah!"

Zangwille took half a step, and the two attendants beside him moved at the same time, blocking the staircase tightly.

The meaning of this triangular-eyed alchemist's words was to stop Curran, but his eyes were staring at Lin Mo without blinking, and the word "untouchable" was self-evident.

"My lord, my lord, it's none of my business! It's none of my business! I don't know anything!"

This civilian comprador was immediately frightened, and his life was like a mustard, but his wife and children at home still needed someone to support him.

"You'll regret it, Zangwill, no, you won't regret it, because you don't need to!"

The phrase "untouchables" scolded the entire aristocratic class, and Lin Mo already had a good reason to do it, and he pulled out the Type 92 combat pistol from his waist.

"Stop him!"

Zangwill's triangular eyes shrank slightly, due to the alchemist's sensitivity to danger, and he immediately realized that this strange thing in the other party's hand was unusual.

"Get on your knees!"

The ordinary-looking middle-aged man who replaced the original strong man's entourage suddenly stepped forward, and the sword light in his hand burst out like lightning and shot towards Lin Mo.

"Whew!~"

"Stop!"

The gunshots rang out almost at the same time as the girl's shouting. (To be continued......)
