Returning from the abyss

Chapter 1063 Opening

Howard, a famous surname in the business world.Lenix Howard, under the leadership of the founder, the business tentacles of the Howard consortium have penetrated into many different fields, even in some trades that are not aboveboard.

In the wake of the death of his wife, the business mogul hasn't found a new love.After raising his own son Lynwood and handing over part of the consortium's business to him, Renix seemed to be keen on adoption. In a few years, he adopted a total of six children, and To train them one by one, in this respect, Reynix has done the same.

As he got older, Renix gradually dispersed the power in his hands. Except for his core power, most of the consortium's business was in charge of the seven children.It’s just that when autumn comes every year, Renix will invite his friends, some strange people he met, as well as all his children and spouses to his private resort island—Hachime Island, for a half-month party .

Of course, as the insiders of the Howard Foundation, or the Howard family, they have heard to some extent that Reynix did not distribute anything of real value, which would make him prosperous and allow him to build such a huge business empire single-handedly. The opportunity is still in his hands.

Now... Raynix is ​​old.

"I have to come here once a year, haha."

On the pier of Hachime Island, a well-dressed man jumped off the boat, and then reached out to help another elegant woman get off the boat.

"Father is a family-minded person, Subbia." The woman said softly, "You must not show dissatisfaction in front of anyone. In Howard, family is a very important concept. You are blameless."

"Of course, of course, dear, it's not the first time I've participated." Subbia smiled and nodded.

At this time, a car drove into the dock and quickly stopped in front of the two of them.

A thin young man wearing the Howard family's iconic servant costume stepped out of the car, bowed slightly to the two, and opened the rear door: "Miss Felicia, Mr. Suberbia, welcome back Arrive at Yamujima, please get on the bus."

"Thank you, which servant are you? The servants here are changed every year, and we have to get to know each other again." Felicia smiled at the young man.

"The name my master gave me was Bay Leaf," said the young man.

"That's right. The previous servants of this proxy have left us with a very good impression. Father has high hopes for you." Felicia nodded and got into the car. Subbia waited until Felicia After sitting down, he also sat in.

The car drove towards the depths of Yamujima.Felicia waited until they reached the forest road, and asked, "Have all my brothers and sisters arrived?"

"Mr. Lynwood and Mrs. Miria have always arrived early, and they arrived three days ago. Master Huo Yinglong and his friends landed on the island at noon yesterday, and they also asked if you have arrived. Last night, Mr. Dimitri and his friend, Ms. Mayuri Shirota and her boyfriend arrived almost at the same time. The rest of you have not arrived yet."

"After all, there is still one more day." Subia laughed, "Could it be that Mayuri Daita changed another boyfriend? Even though he is young, I don't think it is a good thing to change boyfriends so frequently, at least for the Howard family. Consider your reputation."

"We have no right to comment on the lives of gentlemen and ladies." Yue Guiye said calmly, "I wonder which hall you two plan to live in this time?"

"Lingmu Pavilion."

The Hachime House is a resort building built according to the topography of the central area of ​​Hachime Island.It is said that theories such as Bagua Fengshui were referred to when designing, and Reynix also invested a lot of money here.Among them, as a relatively unique design, there are eight branch halls where the Hachime Hall is connected to the main hall, which fall within different island landforms, and are connected to the main hall by roads. Five to two 10 minutes or so.

Lingmu Pavilion, located on the east side of the island, is located in the cliff area and is a building that can watch the sea from a height.Felicia really likes the feeling of sitting on the balcony and watching the waves of the ocean. It will give her a wonderful feeling as if she is overlooking the world.

And in the forest road that the bay leaf drove through, there is a hidden Qimu Pavilion. The environment dominated by the seclusion, tranquility and freshness of the forest has always been loved by Huo Yinglong, who is ranked fifth, and Fei Li Shia was sure that her titular brother still chose to live there, just like her.

Speaking of which... There are seven brothers and sisters in total, each of them has different preferences, and there has never been any conflict when allocating residences.

"Ms. Felicia, we have arrived at the main hall." Bayleaf said suddenly.

"Oh, thank you."

Renix would not live in one of the eight branch halls. The ruler of the consortium would definitely stay in the main hall, waiting for the guests and children to arrive, just like an emperor welcoming his returning courtiers.

After Felicia and Subia got off the car, they carefully arranged their clothes, while Yue Guiye drove to the Lingmu Pavilion, took their luggage there, and packed their accommodation.Felicia took a deep breath. Even though she has been an adult for many years and has taken over a part of the business business of the Howard Foundation, she always feels a little nervous every time she wants to see Renix.

Subbia gently held her hand, and the two walked into the main hall together.

A young servant greeted her at the door. This maid with wavy hair also had a new look. Felicia did not ask her name this time, but followed her into the hall.

There was no one in the vast living room. After climbing the stairs, they went directly to the fourth floor.Renix lived at the end of the corridor on the west side of the fourth floor. His room was closed with a heavy door, and no one could break into it except those who had permission.

As he got older, the holder of wealth and power paid more and more attention to his own safety.

But... safety, why invite a group of people like this every year?It wasn't just family members who came here, there were also some strange people that even Felicia couldn't figure out the origin of, and Renix didn't know how to know.

This time... probably the same.

Just as he was approaching the heavy door, the door suddenly opened by itself.A young oriental woman came out from inside. She wore a white coat and looked cold.When Felicia saw her, she stood up and bowed slightly to her: "Hello, Dr. Lu Ning."

"It's Felicia...and Subia, you guys came early this time." Lu Ning looked up at the two of them, "You're in good spirits and look good, it seems that you haven't stayed up all night to deal with work anymore .”

"I just followed your advice, hired a nutritionist, and rearranged my work schedule. Subbia also helped me a lot." Felicia smiled.

"It's great to find someone you can really trust. Congratulations to both of you." Lu Ning took out a pocket watch from his pocket and glanced at the time, "Renix is ​​inside, and there are four friends, don't worry. You guys It doesn't take long on this visit, five to 10 minutes, he won't mind."

"Yes. The doctor...doesn't know how your father is doing?" Felicia asked.

"Although we have a good relationship, I won't tell even the family members about the patient's condition without my permission." Lu Ning stuffed the pocket watch back into her pocket, "Goodbye, Ms. Felicia."

After speaking, she left.Felicia sighed slightly, walked to the door, and lightly tapped her fingers on the door.

Before she could react, the door was opened immediately, as if someone was standing by the door waiting for someone to knock on it, and Felicia's pupils shrank immediately when she saw the person who opened the door.

The person who opened the door was tall, with long black hair, a bushy beard, a black suit and a red flower pinned to his right chest.That face was not angry at all, and the green eyes looked at Felicia from top to bottom, making her feel as if she was locked by some ferocious beast.

One of Raynix's friends, the oil tycoon Gustav, actually opened the door with his own hands at this moment?
In fact, Felicia had never seen Gustav use violence, and even on birthdays and important festivals, she could always receive gifts from Gustav.But there is such a kind of person in the world, he is like the strict teacher you didn't like when you were young, no matter how old you are, you will always feel afraid in front of him.

"It's Felicia." Gustav said.

"Haha, let her in, she is the first one today."

Gustav opened the door and Felicia walked into the room.After Felicia entered the room, she saw Renix sitting on an easy chair.

To be honest... She didn't expect her father to grow up like this.

Reynix was able to establish such a huge consortium, and he had already accumulated the aura of a superior. In Felicia's childhood impression, she always felt that Reynix could always be so majestic.

But now, Renix's hair and beard were almost all white, and even his burly body was a bit bent. His spirit was almost visible to the naked eye, and even his eyes lost their luster.

"Father." Felicia bowed slightly and bowed to Reinix.Then she straightened up and looked at the other three people in the room.

Wearing a mandarin jacket alone, and still wearing a pair of black round sunglasses in this dim room, he always gives the impression of a charlatan.One was dressed in ragged clothes, with a feather-like pendant around his neck, and he was dressed like a witch.Only the last person was dressed normally, wearing a traveling cloak, with a slightly nervous expression, holding a notebook in his hand, and was recording.The only light in the room was a desk lamp by his hand.

"Subobia, you seem to have grown up, and Felicia seems to have entrusted you with some of the affairs."

"It's just helping Felicia to share some work. We are already preparing for the wedding. I don't want Felicia to be too tired. You know, we are also older, and we should have a child soon after we get married. "Subobia said with a smile.

"It's okay, Felicia trusts you very much, so I trust you too, you don't need to report anything to me." Renix raised his hand slightly, "It's just an annual gathering, just treat it as a meeting from a busy schedule. Take a little time from work to take a vacation. Felicia, you like Lingmu Pavilion very much, I remember... remember to come to the family dinner tomorrow."

Felicia nodded: "Then, I wish you health, I will take my leave first, father."

After finishing speaking, she pulled Su Bobia out of the room together, breathing suddenly.In any case, Renix and Gustav put too much pressure on people.

"Since I have met my father..."

"Felicia, another brother of yours is here." Subbia gently squeezed Felicia's hand.

The other two came over under the guidance of a servant, one was an unremarkable man, and the other was a beautiful woman.

"Ito Juno." Felicia spoke, and the man trembled slightly when he heard Felicia's voice.

"Hi, Ms. Felicia, it looks like we're a little bit over here." The woman spoke instead.

"This is a matter between our siblings. I hope Mrs. Ito will not open her mouth." Felicia gave the woman a serious look.

Meanwhile, downstairs, in the tea room, Lu Ning was making herbal tea for herself.Beside her, Watanabe Fuko was taking out some refreshments and stacking them neatly on the plate.

"How long can Renix live?" Watanabe Fuko asked in a low voice.

"His health is deteriorating rapidly." Lu Ning replied to Watanabe with the help of the sound of pouring water, "If no miracle happens, he probably won't live for a month. Of course, I will try my best to hang his life, at least let him Survive the party."

"That's not the point, what we want is his inheritance." Fuko Watanabe shook his head lightly, "We are outsiders after all, and we need to work harder to get the corresponding information."

"Whether it's Lynwood or those adopted sons and daughters, none of them are fuel-efficient." Lu Ning pushed a cup of tea to Watanabe Yuanko, "And the guests invited by Raynix this time are also a little strange , I suspect it's not just us."

"It's obviously not just us. At least half of the people on the island are staring at Renix. It's funny, it's his island, but there are a group of people on the island who want him to die."

"This is a very good environment." Lu Ning took a sip of herbal tea, "An isolated island, a large number of rooms, and somewhat scarce means of transportation, is a good place to die."

"And the motivation is too much, isn't it?" Watanabe Fuko smiled.
