Returning from the abyss
Chapter 1067 Admonishment
Chapter 1067 Admonishment
Xingong Qianxia went out in the torrential rain, but the people left behind fell silent after the tableware was put away, and the previous topic did not continue.
"10:30."
Suddenly, Huo Yinglong stood up after glancing at his watch, and said in a somewhat blunt tone: "At this time, father should come out to preside over the situation, right? Do you know the current physical condition of father?"
"Father's health is not very good, it will probably be later. Is there anything to worry about?" Felicia said with some reproach, "We just wait quietly for father."
"Yes, Huo Yinglong, you are a little impatient. We understand your desire to see your father, but now, our children have not arrived yet." Lionwood chuckled, "Don't worry, sit down and rest for a while Yes. The weather is bad today, we need to give father some time."
At this moment, the hall door was pushed open forcefully, and there was a loud knocking sound.
Standing outside the door was a woman with healthy brown skin, her hair was covered with water droplets, and half of her expensive clothes were wet, while a slightly shorter but fit woman was standing next to her. There is hardly any water to be seen.
"It doesn't seem too late."
"Cynthia, I'm so glad to see you so early today." Lynwood stood up and greeted the past, "You're soaked through, didn't they provide a raincoat?"
"I don't like that stuff, it's boring." Cynthia scratched her wet hair casually, "Jasmine, find me a set of dry clothes and a hair dryer, I'll tidy up a bit. Besides, this is my woman, De Luo Lisi, I have officially met with everyone today. Lynwood, you should be able to take care of her while I tidy up myself."
"Of course, have you eaten yet?"
"have eaten."
Cynthia agreed casually, and followed Jasmine into a room next to her.
Lu Ning had seen this Cynthia before.As the sixth child of the Howard family, she has a straightforward personality and outstanding abilities. Although her elder brother and sister had already divided a large amount of property when inheriting the consortium, she quickly revitalized several companies in her hands and quickly established Several routes across trade were opened.Apart from the fact that Cynthia is a bit too "playful", the outside world doesn't have any serious negative comments on her.
There are four of her apparent girlfriends alone, and this Dolores is not among them.However, Dolores is not a very introverted person. People like Lynnwood are very good at talking, and with just a few words, Dolores is familiar with the environment here, and she mentioned a few things about herself.She is a gymnast, and she was spotted by Cynthia who went there to watch the grand prix held in China, and then under Cynthia's pursuit offensive, she quickly agreed to the relationship between the two - which sounds a bit outrageous.
"Don't worry. Since Cynthia brought you here, you will be her companion this time. There is only one of us. She values you very much."
"Really? I heard that Howard's family is very strict, and I'm actually a little nervous." Dolores soon began to talk enthusiastically, "I'm not from a rich family, and I'm afraid that my etiquette will not be good. Up to the mark. But Cynthia told me that as long as you can be kind to others, you will be fine."
"Of course, our family motto is to live in harmony among family members. I don't want to quarrel with Cynthia." Lynwood said in a joking tone.
Looking at the pleasant chat here, Lu Ning couldn't help but look up in the direction upstairs.
Why isn't Rennix coming down?It stands to reason that he should also come forward on this occasion today, so it won't be delayed until night, right?
At this moment, there was a bang sound from the corner.
Amid Kanzaki Takaya's panicked shouts, Mayuri Daida suddenly fell to the ground, convulsed all over, and began to spit out a small amount of white foam from his mouth.The other people in the living room were also stunned for a moment, and then Felicia quickly walked around and pressed Mayuri Daida with her thumb, and raised her head and shouted: "Dr. Lu Ning! Can you help me take a look? She I've made an old mistake again!"
"epilepsy?"
Lu Ning walked over while asking, and the chaotic crowd immediately made way for her.
After a quick inspection and emergency treatment, Lu Ning asked the servants to help, and everyone moved Mayuri Daida to an empty guest room on the first floor to rest.
By the time everyone returned to the hall, it was past eleven o'clock.
"Mayuri's illness hasn't recurred for a long time, right?" Juno Ito asked.
"It's been rare since she became an adult, and she looks like Takaya Kanzaki...I probably haven't seen it before." Felicia shook her head lightly, "But it's hard to cure, thankfully the doctor treated it in time. "
"It can't be called treatment, it can only be called temporary relief. I have never seen this kind of condition. Although the symptoms are similar to epilepsy, I can't judge without detailed examination." Lu Ning said.
"That……"
"Don't worry about that."
Just as Lynwood was about to speak, his words were interrupted by a voice from upstairs.
And hearing this voice, everyone raised their heads.
The host of the party this time, the patriarch of the Howard family, Renix, finally appeared at the top of the stairs.
Wearing a black cloak with a dark blue gown on the inside, he walked down the stairs steadily.Compared to his weak and weak appearance a few days ago, now Renix seems to have regained his original demeanor. He glanced down the stairs before slowly opening his mouth.
"Mayuri's condition has relapsed, let her rest for a while. Where's Dimitri? Haven't come yet?"
"Master Dimitri took a few large pieces of meat and some barbecue seasonings from the kitchen yesterday, and he seems to have plans to grill his own meat." Escher said with a bow.
"It's okay, not everyone needs to be here at noon."
After Renix went downstairs, he stood at the bottom of the stairs and raised his hand slightly: "Everyone, please take a seat first. No matter who it is, I will always give you some explanations for this party. Escher, Invite out all the guests from the main hall who have not yet come out, as for the others, don’t worry about it.”
"Yes."
Following the actions of the housekeeper, the rest of the guests who were still in the room were also invited out, including those who had been hired, such as Jiuzhu Hirazane, Han Xizhe, and Orlando.
After everyone gathered in the living room, Escher locked the hall.
"Renix?" Gustav raised his eyebrows slightly, one of his hands was gently beating rhythm on his knee, and the other hand was always on a bulging part of his waist.
"I don't think I need to hide from you the fact that my time is numbered." Reynix calmly said the words that made many people's hearts tighten.
"Don't say that, you can live for at least a few years." Justina smiled.
"Don't comfort me, Justina. I know my physical condition, and the doctors and nutritionists probably know it too. I don't want everyone to talk about this as the focus—I know the purpose of everyone's visit. There are more or less my personal arrangements in it. I think most of you here are thinking about one thing, and that is the legacy of Renix."
Everyone's expressions didn't change much, but they were almost all suppressed.
"Then I will explain this matter to everyone here. It just so happens that Mr. Han Xizhe is a professional lawyer, and he is qualified to notarize my words here."
The corners of Renix's mouth twitched slightly, and this smile made some people who were familiar with him feel a little flustered.
"Escher, bring the stuff here."
Following Renix's instructions, the old housekeeper pushed a gilded stone tablet out from behind the house with a cart.
"Maybe everyone has some understanding of the family precepts that the Howard family needs to follow these days, but these precepts are not as simple as you understand. And this precept is not used to regulate family members. Its original purpose is to There are rules about inheritance and patriarchy. Now, you can look at the rules in detail here."
For a moment, everyone looked at the inscription unconsciously. Even Lynwood and the others, who had already known the content, wanted to check whether the things on it were the same as what they knew.
[-]. Only the person approved by the patriarch, his partner, and his children are family members, and only family members are subject to these regulations.
[-]. When there are any outsiders (that is, non-family members) present, the family members must maintain harmony, and negative events such as quarrels and fights must not occur.
[-]. If more than five (excluding five) family members agree to meet each other, it becomes a family gathering. Any family gathering must be determined by the members to meet the rules of etiquette and strictly enforced.
[-]. At family gatherings, the patriarch is the head, and the rest of the members have the priority to speak in accordance with the succession order of the patriarch. At the same time, when they want to speak, they must be humble to the former.
[-]. Under any circumstances, if a family member directly or indirectly causes the death of another family member, it will be removed.
[-]. For the death of family members, all family members are entitled to unlimited revenge against the real culprit.Revenge is justice, and harm is worse than the innocent.
[-]. If the patriarch dies, the temporary patriarch will be succeeded according to the succession order of the patriarch.The official patriarch is the person who found the previous patriarch's designated "inheritance", regardless of family members or outsiders.
[-]. On the basis of the seventh rule, if the patriarch has appointed a temporary patriarch under the witness of two outsiders, that person becomes the temporary patriarch.This designation need not be made public.
[-]. Family members must try to cover up crimes committed by family members to outsiders, and must not expose them intentionally.
[-]. When the patriarch dies, if there is only one family member nearby, that family member will directly become the patriarch.
Not very strict rules, and even some descriptions are quite vague.But the more it is like this, the more it cannot be underestimated.If it is strictly stipulated like a legal text, it will make people look down on it-because on such a closed island, the law without a real executor is not a threat at all.
The vague provisions mean that there is a corresponding ability to adjudicate.It can be seen from the words that Lionwood and other members have been talking about before, that these family members are really strictly abiding by this rule.
"Everyone should have finished reading it. Please rest assured that all the rules are only valid for members of the family. For those who are on the island today..." Renix glanced at several people one by one.
Of course Lynwood and Miria are on the list, as is Dimitri who didn't show up.Felicia and Subbia are only engaged but not yet married. Subbia should not be within the scope of the disaster restriction, while Juno Ito and Arisa Ito meet the requirements.The rest were Huo Yinglong, Cynthia, and Mayuri Daida. The people brought by the three were either friends, or they didn't really confirm their kinship, so they didn't meet the requirements.
From this point of view, there are not many people who fit the Howard family members, and people like Butler Escher will definitely not be counted among the family members.
But... the first one.
Lu Ning looked up at the gold-plated slate.
The patriarch can appoint family members, which means that this number may increase at any time.
"With your intelligence, you must have a certain understanding of the rules by now, so I can now explain to you the situation on the island."
Renix spread his arms and his voice rose.
"Except for my children and my friends who would have come to the island, the rest of you are able to appear here at this time because of my arrangement."
Now even Lu Ning and the others looked a little restless.
"Everyone knows that I have run a huge business empire. Although this is the name given by outsiders, I am also proud of it. And forming such a consortium, I have made countless friends and enemies throughout my life. At the same time, those People who have been influenced by me are naturally also implicated in this vortex. Now, most of them have had their final results, and in the process of gradually giving power to my children, many things have also been One by one. Now, there are only some of the most troublesome remaining problems, and I hope to see the grievances settled before I die."
"Grudges..." The psychic Makalov repeated the word while secretly pinching his knuckles.
"Maybe you think you are accidental? Innocent? No, you just don't know, and other people have targeted you, and they are by your side. If you can detect it early, then you have a chance to resolve the hatred , and if the opportunity is missed... Believe me, there are many among you who are motivated enough to commit a murder."
"Wait, Mr. Renix!" Schritt couldn't help shouting, "I just got into an accident and drifted to the island! I just stayed because I liked the scenery on the island..."
Rennix didn't answer Schlitter's words, but just glanced at him, that look seemed to say-"Do you believe it"?
"I hope everyone can end everything here, so that my last wish can come true. You can take any means you can think of—even if it is death, there is enough room to cover it up on this island." Lenix He laughed, "As for Lynwood and you, don't think that you have nothing to do with this matter. Don't forget, you are my children, and you are also the ones who have sunk deepest into this vortex."
"What you said just now, do you want us to fulfill our wishes here? Father?" Lionwood asked respectfully with his hands on his chest.
"That's right! Let me see what actions I have carefully trained you can make." Renix nodded, "Then, see you tonight."
After finishing speaking, the old man turned around and returned upstairs, leaving behind a whole hall of people who were meditating.
Happy New Year's Day~
