Chapter 1008: Thanos
For such a request, Wang Luochen was not easy to refuse, so he readily agreed. However, he also told them that he would not be involved in the whole process, but would only make an outline for everyone, and they would do the rest.
Everyone knew that he was busy, so they didn't force him to finish the work of integrating the army before leaving, so they all agreed to his idea.
After the big thing was agreed, everyone talked for a while, and then broke up and went to work.
After they left, Wang Luochen asked Gore, "Lord Mayor, did my apprentice Thanos's family come to you?"
"So that sweet little fellow is really your apprentice, and they came to me as soon as they arrived in Georgetown. I received them and arranged for them to live in a fishing village near Lake Our Lady and bought a new fishing boat for the family. And they were all overjoyed. Hearing his question, Gore smiled and introduced the situation of Joseph's family to Wang Luochen.
"Really? Thank you for all you do for their family. Oh, by the way, I'll pay for it all. We must not let everyone think that I am abusing my power for personal gain. With that, Wang Luochen took out a few blood crystals from the sound spirit stone and handed them to Gore.
Blood spar is very common in the blood field, but it is a precious gem on earth. The few pieces he took out could be sold for a lot of money, enough to pay for the settlement of Joseph's family.
When Gore saw him take out so many gems at once, he waved his hands and said, "Commander, why do you do this? We do this little thing for you, and even what you pay is not enough in return. Why do you need to be so clear?"
"Well, the mayor is wrong about that. What I did for Georgetown is what I should do as an earthling. Who told me to have such power? But after I have done this, I must not put my own interests above the interests of others. This is a matter of principle. Therefore, I must pay this placement fee for my apprentice's family. Wang Luochen explained the reason to Gore, and still insisted that he accept the blood crystal.
Gore still wanted to excuse himself, but Luo Ningyu said on the side: "Mayor Gore, I think you should talk about this issue from a different angle." The commander's doing this is completely a reflection of his example and high style. It was something he had to do to establish his prestige. If you insist on not letting him do this, you are damaging his image and prestige among the people in disguise, and you are doing something that is not good for him. Are you really willing to do such a thing?"
"Well, Commander Luo, I'd never do anything like that. In that case, I really have to take this gem. It's just that, two commanders, these gems are a little too much. Far more than we paid for Joseph's family. Gore said with some embarrassment as he held the blood crystal in his hand and estimated its value.
"The extra will be given to the Foundation that treats the wounded. Anyway, our commander is not short of this money. Don't you know that he's the regent of the Blood Clan now? In a high position, the rich are very rich. Is this still a little bit more important?" Luo Ningyu couldn't help but feel funny when he saw him being so pedantic, so he brought out Wang Luochen's identity and laughed with him.
As soon as she said this, Gore thought that the same was true, so he put away the blood crystal and stopped rambling about anything.
After he put away the blood crystal, Wang Luochen asked him for the specific address of his apprentice's family, then said goodbye to Luo Ningyu and went to the Holy Mother Lake.
The two took the moon shuttle to a small fishing village on the shore of Lake Our Lady, put away the moon shuttle, and walked into the village.
Since the village was small, with only 100 families, they quickly found Joseph's family.
When they arrived at his house, the family was preparing to eat.
They already knew his identity. Therefore, when he, the big man in their eyes, came to their house, they immediately showed many times more enthusiasm than before.
They hurriedly prepared more meals and entertained Wang Luochen and them to eat.
And in the middle of this, little Joseph, who was so happy to see the master again, also took the opportunity to ask Wang Luochen some questions about his practice.
Wang Luochen listened to his question, and couldn't help but praise: "I really read it right, this little guy is really a material for practice." You see, in just over a day, he was able to sum up so many problems in his practice. Not to mention anything else, just talking about this hard work, it is a little stronger than many adults. ”
After speaking, he deliberately glanced at Luo Ningyu twice.
Luo Ningyu saw him looking at him, and immediately said, "You person, praise the apprentice, praise the apprentice." Look at what I'm doing, as if I'm careless when I'm practicing. Hmph!"
Her protest made Wang Luochen smile slightly and said, "I didn't say that you don't have to worry about practicing." Why are you so careful? Do you really mean that you don't care?"
His words immediately provoked Luo Ningyu's counterattack. The two of them laughed at each other.
Watching the two flirt, Joseph's family followed suit.
The atmosphere at home and everyone's mood became more pleasant.
Everyone was busy for a while, and the meal was ready. They warmly invited Wang Luochen and Luo Ningyu to dinner.
The two of them were not polite, and sat down at their new table.
Once everyone was seated, they began to raise their glasses and drink.
After drinking a few glasses of wine, Wang Luochen and them became more enthusiastic. He took the opportunity to say, "I'm here today to see how satisfied everyone is doing here in Georgetown." The other one is to discuss with you to see if I can take little Joseph away and teach him martial arts in person. As you can see, this kid still looks like that when he practices martial arts, he is a material that can be made. ”
When he said this, Joseph's mother was naturally reluctant to give up her children.
But the old fisherman said, "Good men have ambitions in all directions, and Joseph will only be a fisherman for the rest of his life." Although this kind of life is quite happy. But it's better to go out with the commander and do something about it. So, for the sake of the child's future, I think we still agreed to the commander. ”
When he said this, Joseph's mother was silent. And Wang Luochen was also busy saying at this time: "Don't worry, Joseph will not be in danger if he follows me." He's so young, and when I go to do things, I'll naturally put him in a safe place. Of course, we also have to listen to the opinions of the children on this matter. If he says he doesn't want to go, I won't force it. ”
"Master, I want to go. You'll take me away. It's just that I can ask you not to call me Joseph in the future, have you forgotten, my name has been changed to Thanos? From now on, I will follow you to destroy the Overlords. ”
Joseph's words were equivalent to saying that he had agreed to go with Wang Luochen, which made Wang Luochen very happy.
