the only savior

Chapter 632 Rescue Earl Armstrong ([-] in [-])

There are many rich people in this world, such as the richest man in Asia, the richest man in the world, and so on. Many people can name one or two of them.

It's just that behind these appearances, there are many invisible consortium families that everyone doesn't know.

Compared with individual rich people, the wealth of these families may not be concentrated in a certain person, nor is it limited to visible assets.

But this does not mean that their strength is not enough.

On the contrary, compared with those rich individuals, such a consortium is much bigger, and can be worth several or even dozens of richest people.

The Armstrong family is one of them.

This is a huge family that has been passed down for hundreds of years, and the theory of the decline of nobles does not seem to apply here.

Even after hundreds of years, they are still prosperous and even stronger.

The specific wealth of the Armstrong family is probably known to no one except the old Earl Armstrong himself.

It's just that the old earl is now at the end of his life.

The position of the new head of the family will also be selected in the near future, and the new earl will become the helm of this huge family.

However, the arrival of the two visitors today is destined to break some people's illusions, and even make them fall from the clouds to the bottom.

In the reception room, Dean was trying to convince the old butler in front of him through more subtle rhetoric.

"Housekeeper Moore, you must have heard some special news recently. To tell you the truth, I currently have a bottle of potion in my hand, which can bring the old earl back to life. At least another four or five years will not be a problem."

Dean looked mysterious, and when he said these words, he felt a little dark in his heart.

Although he had experienced the incident of mutant rats and personally beheaded two alien species, it was the first time for him to do such a task of approaching ordinary people as an extraordinary person.

I have to say that this feeling is really good, satisfying the pretentious plot he had imagined.

However, the old housekeeper Moore didn't see it that way.

As the butler of the Armstrong Manor, he is very busy. Being able to meet such a descendant of a down-and-out noble in person is already based on the friendship between the two ancestors.

However, even such a "charity" is not enough.

The kid in front of him still wanted to make an inch of it. He wanted to see the Earl, and he even wanted to drink some strange potions for the Earl.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wincheon, the Earl is resting right now, and it's not appropriate to see guests. I will convey the news of your visit on your behalf. Please come back today, both of you."

The old butler nodded at them politely, but he directly issued an order to expel the guests.

Dean was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect the other party to refuse so simply.

"Steward Moore, we have the power to save the Earl. Don't you want to miss such an opportunity? If you worry that we are liars, don't worry, we won't charge any compensation until the potion takes effect. "

Dean threw out his trump card. He thought that this way should be able to let the opponent understand his own strength.

After all, according to the normal logic, he was able to take out the medicine, take it first and then pay, which in itself already showed sincerity.

And for a dying person, there is absolutely no need to poison him, let alone the risk.

However, the seemingly impeccable logic hit a wall again in front of Butler Moore.

The old butler still didn't buy it, he tapped his fingers on the table impatiently, and said:
"Mr. Wencheen, I only met you for the sake of the intersection of the two ancestors, but your behavior really disappointed me. Although the Wencheen family has declined, is it possible that even as a nobleman? Don't you have the most basic literacy?"

The old butler has a high degree of self-cultivation. In his opinion, what he said is already very rude. I hope the other party will be more sensible and leave quickly after hearing it.

As for the small trick of drinking the medicine first and then paying when it works, he is even more dismissive. He doesn't know how many similar tricks he has seen, so he can't even try to fool him.

He even had reason to suspect that the two people in front of him were actually killers sent by another consortium to poison the old Earl Armstrong.

Don't think that there is no need to kill the Earl with a few days to live.

For such a large consortium, the way the person at the helm died is also very important.

Putting aside the face of the Armstrong family and simply starting from the most basic interests, that is already a huge influence.

You know, the Armstrong family controls the shares of dozens of groups, large and small.

If the news that the old earl was poisoned by someone came out, for these groups, the shares may cause huge turmoil.

This is not alarmist.

Moore knew those stockholders very well. This group of people was as alert as deer in the forest, and any sign of trouble could arouse their vigilance.

It may seem to ordinary people that it is just a topic of conversation after dinner, but in their eyes, anything can be linked to the stock price.

The old earl was poisoned and killed. Does that mean that other consortiums are going to make a move when the power of the Armstrong family changes?
If it is, then I must sell stocks.

As long as some people start to take the lead, other people will have similar fears and start selling, and the value of the consortium's stocks will shrink.

In this way, the loss will become very serious.

Therefore, under Dean's seemingly reasonable logic, there are actually huge hidden dangers hidden, and it is impossible for Butler Moore to agree to such a request.

It's just that he was halfway through the action of getting up to see off the guests, when the scene before him made him fall back down in fright.

"boom!"

There was a muffled sound, and the woman who had never made a sound suddenly stretched out her hand and slapped the marble coffee table in front of her hard.

With her movement, the hard coffee table suddenly fell apart and shattered into a pile of rocks.

At the same time, the mansion of the Armstrong family began to tremble violently as if it had been hit by an earthquake.

The old housekeeper Moore watched this scene in horror, his eyes filled with disbelief.
The originally prepared words to see off the guests could not be uttered, so he just stared blankly at the broken coffee table in front of him.

"I said earlier that you don't need to talk so much nonsense with them."

Ji Xiaoqi glanced at Dean beside her and said in Chinese.

Although she is younger than the other party, she is not just a rookie. She has much richer experience in similar negotiations than Dean.

Ji Xiaoqi knows what her strengths are, and she also understands how to deal with these people.

There is absolutely no need to say those mysterious words, and it is more practical than anything else to show one or two hands directly.

Be too talkative like Dean, and others may suspect you have bad intentions.

Sometimes, arrogance is also a way of negotiation.

This is the heart of the people.

Moreover, as a member of the only extraordinary organization in the world, the Star Alliance, Ji Xiaoqi also has her own arrogance.

I have already put the opportunity in front of you, and I have already shown my strength. If you still don't believe it, then everyone will break up.

There are so many rich people in this world who are afraid of death, but there is only one Star Alliance.

The relationship between supply and demand is worlds apart.

Dean is really inexperienced in playing a good hand of cards.

Looking at Ji Xiaoqi, who was domineering and sideways, Dean swallowed unconsciously.

He finally remembered that before he set out on the mission, Yang Yangyang pulled him aside and told him mysteriously, don't make the goddess angry, or the consequences will be serious.

At that time, Dean was surprised, and even heard that the other party gave Ji Xiaoqi the nickname "Yifei God of War", and he was very puzzled.

But now he finally understands, he doesn't know what Yifei means, but that god of war must be real.

The other party's aura, even he, who is also an awakened person, felt a little scared when he saw it.

At this moment, Ji Xiaoqi unabashedly revealed her extraordinary aura. As an ordinary person, the old housekeeper Moore immediately felt the pressure from the level of life, and there was no doubt in her heart.

"Crack."

The door was opened, and a maid ran in in a panic, saying that there was an earthquake and wanted the housekeeper to leave the house quickly.

"go out!"

Moore reprimanded him, and after the other party closed the door and left, he looked at the two people opposite him again and said:

"I'm sorry, both of you, just now I couldn't see Taishan, the Earl is in the room, please follow me."

His attitude changed very quickly, which made Dean sigh.

A moment later, in a luxurious bedroom located on the fifth floor of the manor villa, the two people who acted quickly saw the target this time - Earl Armstrong, who was lying on the bed and could only rely on machines to support his life.

The Armstrong family does not have any inherited genetic problems, and they are usually taken care of by a dedicated private doctor, and there is no such thing as cancer.

The current appearance of the old earl is simply that the oil is exhausted and the lamp is dry.

Adams Armstrong is almost 90 years old. This age is not considered a long life in the world, but for their family, it is already a rare old age.

When people get old, no matter how well maintained they are, they will inevitably suffer from some geriatric diseases, which once made Adams very painful.

However, even so, even though his life had come to an end, he still didn't want to die.

There is a saying that goes, the richer people are, the more afraid of death they are.

The same goes for Adams.

He hasn't lived enough, even if he has lived for nearly 90 years, he still hasn't lived enough.

It's just that the physical pain is reminding him that he is dying, and his life span is running out.

His personal doctor, Feliciano, told him that he had at most ten days left, and advised him to stop the painful injections and enjoy the last days of his life.

Private lawyer Irina told him that his will hadn't been finished yet, and in order to prevent family disputes from happening, it was necessary to complete the will as soon as possible.

Personal assistant Qi Ya told him that the location of his tomb had already been selected, and it was specially appointed by a Fengshui master specially invited from China. After death, he would surely bless his family and ascend to heaven.

……

However, Adams didn't want to hear that at all.

He just wanted to live, to live forever.

Unfortunately, the reality is cruel, no matter how rich he is, he can't change anything.

The eldest son who was originally loved and loved, now he hates him no matter what he thinks of him.

Adams felt that the sad expression on his face was hypocritical, as if he was always looking forward to his own death so that he could quickly become the new helm of the Armstrong family.

The maids also seemed to be perfunctory to themselves, as if they were not worthy of their serious treatment as a person who was about to die.

Adams knew that this was his own illusion, but the combination of everything made him feel particularly bad.

But just now, Moore, the old housekeeper who has followed him for half his life, brought two strange people for him.

They claimed to be able to help themselves extend their lifespan by at least five years, and they also took out a potion that shone with golden light.

Things like glowing potions are not considered rare, and there are many technological means that can do this.

But the strength shown by the man next made Adams have to re-examine their words.

This time, Dean learned the previous lesson and didn't waste any more words to say something specious.

Instead, he directly raised a solid wood sofa that was at least [-] kilograms with one hand, and the personal doctor Feliciano who was sitting on it was already frightened.

However, it is such a simple and unpretentious action without any special effects that is the most convincing.

If it was a fireball, or a flash spell, then Adams might still wonder if these people used some advanced technological means, after all, many magicians can also do this.

But this pure expression of power completely dispels this possibility.

Coupled with the mutant beast incident that happened in recent days, Adams immediately thought of the aspect of biological genetic medicine.

The old earl was agitated at the time, and he quickly asked the housekeeper to help him to sit up. He didn't look like an old man who was about to fall into the ground, his eyes revealed endless desire and madness.

"Quick! Give it to me! You can ask for anything? No matter what the price is, I can afford it!"

Adams is a smart guy who knows where his strengths lie.

"readily!"

Ji Xiaoqi threw the Sun Essence over, and it fell into the other party's hands accurately.

"A bottle of medicine, 20 billion pounds, can make you live for at least five more years."

She opened her mouth wide and directly reported an astronomical figure.

At this time, even the helm of the Armstrong family, the old earl who owns dozens of conglomerate properties, couldn't help shaking the palm of his hand holding the sun essence.
