Here, the Lord said this is a good thing

Chapter 154 Going Home (Please vote for me! There is a witch in this chapter!)

"thank you for your support."

Lux nodded seriously to Serena, then shook her hand and squeezed the Dream Crystal into her palm.

This artifact is temporarily kept by her, and Ye He has no objection. After all, the dream crystal is already filled with the power of the blazing sun. It is shining with golden light while constantly releasing high temperatures. No one can touch it except Lux. , and no one can keep it.

"I will not leave Klein Field. You can move freely. You can come back here tonight to witness."

Lux said this while looking at Ye He and the Grand Inquisitor. This goddess's wisdom and emotional intelligence are both high. Holding the Dream Crystal, she offered not to leave the Klein Field, a neutral place. In order to reassure the people of Yue Zhihui, she used this act of self-imprisonment to prove that she would not swallow the Dream Crystal to herself.

After all, [Hate Mist] will most likely come out at night. It's not yet eight o'clock in the morning, it's still morning, and there's no need for everyone to stay here with her throughout the day.

Ye He and the Grand Inquisitor stood up almost at the same time. They looked at each other. The Grand Inquisitor nodded to Lux and left.

He seemed to trust Lacus, but this behavior was actually done to show Ye He, so that Ye He would not embarrass Lacus.

This goddess can represent the Goddess of the Lieyang Church. Even if the Dream Crystal is a valuable artifact, Lux will definitely not swallow it in front of so many people. The loss of credibility caused by this is Lieyang. The church cannot bear it.

The Grand Inquisitor knew this in his heart, so he was really relieved about Lacus, but he was afraid that Ye He wouldn't trust her.

Fortunately, Ye He didn't say much. He actually didn't care whether Lacus was lying, let alone whether the dream crystal activated by Lacus could completely solve the [Hate Mist].

After the battle with Mud last night, his grudge with Mud has been settled. So far, [Hate Mist] is just his next pleasure.

Looking back at Yulia, Ye He walked out without saying a word.

Yulia, who successfully received the signal from Ye He's eyes, stood up immediately. She helped Serena up, nodded to the others, and then left the conference room with Serena following Ye He.

"Then the rest is up to you."

"Try your best."

Marquis Wolfgang and Lux ​​nodded to each other and left.

Anna and Christine in the corner had also left with Ye He and Marquis Wolfgang respectively. Only Lux, Bruce and Mayfair who were "working" at Klein Field were left in the conference room.

"The meeting is over?"

Bruce asked in a low voice in Mayfair's ear. He didn't have any extraordinary knowledge and didn't understand what Lux meant. He just judged that the meeting was over based on everyone's behavior.

"should be."

Mayfair hesitantly glanced at Lux who had already closed her eyes to rest. At this moment, some Sun Maids came in at the door of the conference room.

They prepared some tea and snacks for Lux, and even brought two books from nowhere, as if they were fully prepared for Lux to spend a day here.

Was it prepared in advance or on short notice?

After seeing this scene, a strange question appeared in Mayfair's mind, but she was not qualified or able to investigate this question in detail, so she could only quietly leave the conference room with Bruce.

The two came to a place near the archives room. When Bruce saw that Faile was still looking back towards the conference room, he couldn't help but asked Faile, "What are you suspecting?"

Following Mayfair's gaze, Bruce saw the Sun Maid walking in and out of the conference room door. As if he realized something, his eyes suddenly focused and he lowered his voice subconsciously:

"Could it be..."

"Do not."

Mayfair interrupted his "could it be", and there was no point in suspecting that Lux had a problem, because neither Ye He nor the Marquis suspected Lux, so why should she and Bruce be suspicious here.

"Don't think nonsense, we don't have the qualifications. People who have the qualifications haven't said anything."

"Oh, yes."

"What qualifications?"

The door of the nearby archives room suddenly opened, and James, holding some files, walked out of the archives room and looked at Bruce and Mayfair in confusion.

I don’t know what happened in the archives at Klein Field. James just went in to find some incident records. His head was rubbed with a little spider silk, and his coat was stained with a lot of dust. He looked quite embarrassed.

Bruce hurriedly stepped forward and took the file from James' hand, leaving James free to dust it off. Faile told James what happened in the conference room. Only then did the chief detective know that when he was looking for the file, The meeting has ended.

It seemed that his work was in vain. James gave Faile a wry smile and was asking Bruce to put the files back into the archives. Faile suddenly asked James:

"Are these the records you're talking about?"

"Yes, it seems it's no longer useful, Bruce..."

"Wait, let me see."

"Okay, then you can take them back to the office to have a look, Bruce. After Mayfair has finished reading, remember to put them in the door, turn left, turn right, go straight, then turn right, turn left, turn left, and go to the bottom of the fifth shelf in front of you. side."

"what?"

Bruce and Faile were both shocked by the location where James described the files. Faile looked at the door of the archives room in confusion. The archives room at Klein Field... is there a maze inside?

"That's the location anyway. If you can't remember, you can ask me again. I'm going back to the office first... Did we miss a day of work yesterday? It's over!"

James didn't have time to answer this question for them. He suddenly remembered that he seemed to have missed something important, and rushed to his office, leaving the two of them in the corridor.

After a while, the screams of an older, unmarried man who missed his date with his girlfriend came from James' office.

Bruce and Mayfair looked at each other, then smiled at each other.

James's troubled love life has become a daily topic of conversation among the staff at Klein Field after dinner. Even Faile, who has only been to Klein Field once or twice, knows about it from the chats of the police detectives.

The two returned to Bruce's workstation, which was actually a small desk in the entrance office area of ​​Klein Field.

James never had time to arrange Mayfair's work station, so after Bruce put the file on the table, he signaled that Mayfair could use his position.

He also picked up a dossier and planned to follow Fei'er to read the records in these dossiers to gain some understanding of the monster users.

But Mayfair did not sit down. She even reached out and pressed the file in Bruce's hand to prevent Bruce from opening it.

"?"

When Bruce turned around, he saw Mayfair looking at him with twinkling eyes.

"what happened?"

Bruce didn't understand why Faile stopped him from reading these files. It wasn't something important. He just needed to learn more about these files...

"I'll take you home."

Mayfair finally spoke to break Bruce's escape.

Even though Mayfair's hands were not pressed on the file, she could see Bruce's hands shaking violently with her eyes.

Bruce opened his mouth. He wanted to say something to Mayfair, but when he met Mayfair's gaze, he knew that the lame excuses coming out of his mouth would definitely not be able to deceive Mayfair.

At this time, it would be really embarrassing to continue to pretend to be strong to save face and use work to escape the cruel reality.

After a moment of silence, Bruce finally nodded to Mayfair.

He put down the file and walked out with Fei'er, his footsteps terrifyingly heavy.

Some fellow police detectives who had just met Bruce saw the two passing by. They just wanted to say hello to Bruce and tease the newcomer and the new consultant girl, but they were immediately pushed back by Faile's eyes. .

They noticed that Bruce was in poor condition, but they didn't say anything after all.

"Bruce? Here!"

As soon as they walked out of Klein Field, the two heard a greeting.

Looking up, it turned out to be Christine greeting them.

The granddaughter of the Marquis was standing next to a carriage of her own. The carriage door was open. Marquis Wolfgang was sitting in the carriage, casting a calm look at Bruce and Mayfair.

Christine's mother, the daughter-in-law of Marquis Wolfgang, had her original surname of Wayne. The Wayne family was originally the biggest supporter of the Wolfgang family, and the Wayne family also had the title of earl. , also a noble of the empire.

The appearance and greetings of these relatives and friends seemed to confirm Bruce's premonition, which made him follow Mayfair to the carriage, his steps becoming even heavier.

Bruce's eyes were wandering and his face was pale, so Christine couldn't help but look at him with distress. She had a good relationship with this cousin in private.

During the battle between Ye He and Mader last night, the monster messenger belonging to the Wolfgang family immediately noticed that Mader was riding in the carriage of the Wayne family, and the direction he came from was also Wayne Manor, and then discovered The Wayne family has left no one behind.

This kind of tragedy of almost genocide is the most terrible tragedy for anyone. Bruce's parents and relatives all died under the butcher's knife of the cultists, and the bodies were also used in rituals, and even one of them was buried. No chance was left to Bruce.

Except for a minor sister who is studying abroad in the Federation and Christine's mother who works in another city, Bruce has no other relatives.

According to aristocratic tradition, strictly speaking, only Bruce is left in the entire Wayne family. From today on, Bruce is the latest Earl of Wayne.

"I have informed Barbara that I have entrusted an old friend to the Federation. She should be on her way back now."

In the carriage, Marquis Wolfgang broke the silence and told Bruce about his sister's situation.

"……Thanks."

Bruce's voice sounded like it was coming out of his teeth, and it was very impolite, but no one blamed him.

"If necessary, I can ask Layla (Christine's mother) to come back..."

It seemed that Bruce's sister's return would only increase the pressure on Bruce's disciples, so Marquis Wolfgang continued.

Bruce's aunt is already named Wayne. According to some traditions of the nobility, she should not be present or intervene at this time, as she must avoid the suspicion of her relatives seeking to seize the family property and title.

However, both the Wayne family and the Wolfgang family were equally open-minded, and Marquis Wolfgang did not covet the Wayne family's wealth.

In fact, he and Bruce's grandfather were as close as brothers and had a life-long friendship.

Otherwise, the Wayne family would not have spent all their wealth to help the Wolfgang family build the city of Cedarville.

Marquis Wolfgang just thought that Bruce might feel better if an elder was present.

"...No need, I...thank you."

Bruce's mind was a little blank. His sister's return... was the right thing to do. As for his aunt, he just subconsciously felt that her aunt would be sad too, so he couldn't disturb her too much.

"it is good."

Marquis Wolfgang didn't say anything more and looked quietly at the approaching Wayne Manor outside the car.

In the sudden disaster, what he can do for his old brother is to let his descendant safely inherit the family business. The most important thing is whether Bruce can get over his grief as soon as possible.

The two ladies sitting next to the two men looked at each other. Christine gave Faile a wry smile, with a trace of request in her eyes.

She didn't know much about Mayfair, but she also noticed that Bruce and Mayfair were inseparable these days.

The two even experienced yesterday's void train journey together. This little girl is also someone who can win Ye He's special attention with her wisdom. She should be able to help Bruce more than herself, right?

Mayfair said nothing. In fact, before she got in the car, she was thinking about whether the Wolfgang family would take the opportunity to seize the wealth that Bruce should inherit.

Now it seems that this lord is unexpectedly full of humaneness, and his actions are as magnanimous as others look. It is already a blessing among misfortunes.

After giving a slight nod to Christine, Faile glanced at Bruce who was silent. Looking down, she saw Bruce's hands clenched into fists.

Fortunately, Bruce had already cried on the Void Train yesterday. The early venting made him less stressed than expected, and he seemed to be emotionally stable.

But when the carriage stopped at the crowded Wayne Manor, Bruce got out of the carriage and saw the urns in the hands of the people sent by Marquis Wolfgang to handle the funeral affairs. His legs felt weak. Almost fell to the ground.

Mayfair quickly stretched out her hand to help Bruce, but was dragged down by Bruce.

Marquis Wolfgang, who had not yet gotten out of the carriage, reached out from behind them and grabbed Bruce's collar. He then lifted Bruce up before falling, but Mayfair still staggered and sat on the ground.

Although Mayfair immediately stood up and patted her butt as if nothing happened, Bruce seemed to wake up and turned to look at her.

"I am fine."

It's just that my butt hurts a little when I sit down, and it'll be fine after a while. Mayfair didn't pay attention to this detail, and even smiled at Bruce.

Looking at the smiling Faile, Bruce suddenly felt himself shuddering.

As the numbness in his scalp began to spread from the back of his head to his body, Bruce suddenly relaxed and regained his strength.

At least, at least he shouldn't let Feier feel sad for him, at least he should be strong in front of Feier!

"Hush...huh..."

After taking a deep breath and shivering again, Bruce's face suddenly turned red, his energy and energy quickly recovered, and his eyes regained light.

"Can you please walk with me? I want to introduce you to the place where I grew up."

Bruce's sudden request made Faile a little confused, but seeing Bruce's bright eyes returning to normal, Faile nodded immediately, and then followed Bruce into Wayne Manor.

"Is this...the power of love?"

Christine, who seemed to understand the reason, smiled and looked gently at the pair of figures drifting away.

"Oh, both grandson and grandpa are the same! It's really useless for me to worry about it."

Marquis Wolfgang also had a smile on his face, and a trace of nostalgia in his eyes.

"Eh? Grandpa, has old Grandpa Wayne ever been strong for love before?"

As soon as she heard what Marquis Wolfgang said, Christine immediately became interested. She was not such a gossip before, but because of her relationship with a certain perfect priest, now she has become more obsessed with love than anyone else.

"Ha! That's more than that! You don't know, that bastard is a guy who dares to use a knife for a woman and a brother. Tsk... If your grandma hadn't been chasing me, I might have beaten that bastard to death! Hmph! ! If you steal a woman from me, what you’re robbing is..."

Marquis Wolfgang stopped suddenly, and the smile on his face immediately stiffened as his rationality returned. He slowly turned his head and looked at Christine who was listening with interest.

He seems to have told something very extraordinary about the past?

"Keep on, keep on talking, grandpa, I like to hear it! Ah, I won't tell grandma, don't worry, hehe."

Christine smiled and asked Marquis Wolfgang to continue, but Marquis Wolfgang dared to mention it again.

This granddaughter and her grandma are very close. If these secrets are passed on to her grandma by Christine...her grandma will definitely come from her hometown in the country and kill her!

Do you want to live your own life?

"Hehe...hehe, my dear Christine..."

Margrave Wolfgang had a flattering smile on his old face.

"Can you just pretend that grandpa never said anything?"

"Ahem, it depends on when grandpa will allow me to go to Ye He."

Christine's eyes were playful. She had already heard about it from her grandma. It was her grandpa who pursued her grandma back then.

But now her grandpa said that it was her grandma who chased her grandpa, and that it was when her grandpa and Bruce's grandpa "failed to snatch the woman", that they felt like they were taking advantage of the situation.

The two people's rhetoric is different, which is worthy of Christine's consideration and manipulation.

"Sigh... It's so boring to stay at home. I can only write letters and stuff with grandma...

Eh? How about... why don't I just go back and play with grandma today? "

"Do not!!!"

……

The interaction between the grandfather and grandson outside the manor did not affect Bruce and Mayfair who had already entered the manor.

The two walked side by side, passing by a piece of grass that had been sprinkled with holy water and purified into a depression.

Based on those urns and what Ye He said at the meeting, Faile had already guessed the whole story. The genocide that happened in Wayne Manor was probably done by Made.

Bruce suddenly stopped, and Mayfair immediately stopped thinking and looked at Bruce with some concern.

But she saw that Bruce didn't show any sad expression. This boy... no, this man's eyes were very calm. His eyes crossed the depression in the grass and landed on a far corner of the courtyard.

Pointing in that direction, Bruce turned to Faile and smiled: "There used to be a few wooden stakes over there. What I hated most when I was a kid was taking my swordsmanship class in that place. Don't look at me like this now. My swordsmanship teacher But it’s very powerful, I can also do some swordsmanship.”

"Tsk, tsk, I really can't tell." A suspicious expression appeared on Faile's face, and she looked at Bruce's slightly thin arm subtly.

She knew that her performance was what Bruce wanted to see.

"hey-hey."

Bruce smiled, not intending to prove or show off. He raised his legs and continued to approach the main door of the manor.

Although Mayfair still didn't know why Bruce suddenly diverted his attention and introduced him as if he was taking a friend home, it was fine as long as he wasn't sad and Mayfair was willing to accompany him.

People coming and going seemed to know Bruce's identity and recognize him. These people worked quietly. No one looked at Bruce for a second time, for fear that the sympathy in their eyes would cause dissatisfaction with the future "Count Wayne". .

In this case, the movement of Bruce and Faile was not affected in any way. Bruce kept introducing Wayne Manor to Faile. Of course, it was based on his own childhood experience, and even brought some of the things he had experienced. childhood embarrassment.

Just like now, before entering the main manor house, Bruce pointed to the three smooth, mirror-like stone steps at the gate and introduced Mayfair exaggeratedly:

"Oh! These stairs! Please be careful, Faile, you must not believe how many times I have fallen on these three stairs!"

"Is this Hamilton stone? This is not a stone used for walls..."

Mayfair followed Bruce's words.

"Yes! I wonder if they were deceived and actually used Hamilton stone to decorate the steps! Whenever it rains, this step is simply a hunter's trap.

I would always fall here when I was a kid, and I still have scars on my knees on both feet! "

Bruce had an indignant expression on his face, as if he really had a psychological shadow on this step. When he stepped on it, he rubbed the soles of his shoes slightly to make sure that he would not slip, and then quickly stepped on it.

"Hahaha."

Mayfair was really amused by Bruce's interesting stories. She smiled happily and stepped up the stairs and walked into the main house with Bruce.

heritage.

This is the first word that appeared in Mayfair's mind after stepping into the main residence of Wayne Manor.

The exterior of this manor is just that. After stepping inside, the decoration of the entire house is quite simple, and it doesn't seem to be like the home environment that a nobleman should have.

But Mayfair immediately noticed that the landscape paintings hanging on the walls were genuine works by a master painter a hundred years ago.

Looking at the style of the sculptures placed in the corner, Mayfair knew that they were styles that existed hundreds of years ago. The weathering marks on the surface of the sculptures could not be faked. These sculptures were indeed hundreds of years old antiques!

After looking around for a while, Mayfair saw no fewer than ten such sculptures. These antique sculptures were actually in sets! Their value will continue to rise to another level because of the complete set.

In addition, when Faile stepped on the carpet that covered the hall, she immediately felt a slight sense of sinking in, and then regained her solidity. This was something she had only seen in textbooks, a very advanced one. Carpet making process.

The federal government auctioned a four-square-meter carpet of this kind, and it seemed to have been sold for a five-digit gold pound?

Bruce's house... this kind of carpet covers hundreds of square meters of hall...

No... look at the stairs, the carpet extends up. Isn't it possible that all the floors in the house are covered with this kind of carpet?

Other things... Mayfair became more and more frightened as she looked at them. Every piece of furniture and daily necessities in Bruce's house... there was no one that was not an antique!

These cultural relics that can be placed in exhibition cabinets for free display were actually used by Bruce's family for their most basic functions!

Mayfair couldn't find any adjectives to describe this excessively extravagant behavior, and in the end she could only show a smile that lacked imagination due to poverty.

These antiques in the hall were not introduced by Bruce. He only mentioned them briefly and took Mayfair upstairs. It seemed that he himself did not know the value of everything here, and he did not know the value of Mayfair as a resident. How much stress does that create for "ordinary people" in apartment buildings.

Well, if he actually knew, just to see Feier's restrained performance of having nowhere to go, Feier would not hesitate to break her oath and give him another kick in the calf.

Fortunately, Bruce's expression didn't seem to be fake, and he was very familiar with rubbing the dust off the soles of his feet on the carpet. It seemed that he really didn't know how rich his family was, which made Mayfair relax a lot.

But when Mayfair followed Bruce to the second floor, and Bruce opened a door and introduced to Mayfair that this was his room, Mayfair's expression became subtle again.

The first time you brought a friend of the opposite sex home, you brought him into your room?

Is this friend of the opposite sex still an underage girl?

Well, Bruce didn't mean that, he wasn't that kind of person.

Mayfair did not show this subtle mood and easily followed Bruce into his room.

Bruce was indeed not that kind of person. He just introduced some of his hobbies to Faile with great interest, as well as some collectibles that were worthless compared to the boxes in which they were placed.

That is to say, Feier is here, and only she can maintain a smile without changing her expression.

If other collectors who know the goods find that Bruce uses top-grade "gold-grained wood" antique boxes to collect some stones that can easily scratch the inside of the box, these collectors will fight Bruce to the death!

"Oh, by the way, there are these books."

Bruce was completely unaware of how excessive his wasteful behavior was. When he casually put the box down with a "pop", even Mayfair's pupils trembled slightly.

Mayfair had to divert her attention and looked at the bookcase that Bruce was about to introduce to her.

Hmm... This bookcase is also made of "gold-grained wood"... Tsk.

"These are basically my favorite books. You probably also like reading, right? Are there any you haven't read?"

The area on the bookshelf marked by Bruce's finger was filled with novels, the kind with extremely low intellectual value.

But it happened that Faile had also read many of the books. She followed Bruce and stood in front of the bookshelf. Just as she was about to pick up the topic, she noticed some large books that were randomly stuffed under the bookshelf.

There were no titles on the spines of these ancient books, and the pages on the covers were full of traces of time. They successfully made Mayfair forget what she wanted to say.

"History of the World", "The First Year of the Empire", "Declaration of the Founding of the Federation"...

Feier, who subconsciously knelt on the floor, stretched out her trembling fingers and took out the books stuffed under the bookshelf one by one.

When she saw that these books had pages peeled off, were damaged by insects, and were even damaged by moisture due to poor storage, a wave of warmth came to Faile's mind.

"Eh? Are you interested in these books? I've long been sick of reading such information books everywhere. Hey, those history exams troubled me to death when I was in school. I always have these books. I was deducted a lot of points for my mistakes! I don’t know why my parents put these books here for me?”

Bruce, who noticed Mayfair's actions, was still blabbering. Because Mayfair was kneeling on the carpet, he couldn't see her gnashing teeth expression at all.

This man... no, this little kid didn't realize at all that the reason why these historical books have errors and omissions is because they are first editions!

When the Empire or Federation was first established hundreds of years ago, these books were indeed worthless because they had just been released.

But after hundreds of years of change and evolution, the value of these first edition books, both as antiques and as the original great wisdom of "predecessors" contained in them, has reached a level that Mayfair cannot imagine!

For example, when Mayfair was studying in the Federation, she also saw the first edition of the "Declaration of the Founding of the Federation."

But that was the book she saw in the deepest part of the First Federal Museum with her Slouchs Gold Medal, accompanied by three mentors, two cultural relic managers, and a large group of security guards. Bruce's terrible Declaration of the Union!

Later documents have undergone too many changes due to various reasons, but the great wisdom of the predecessors always has research value. During that hour-long trip to read the first edition of the "Declaration of the Founding of the Federation," Mayfair herself really felt that she benefited Very shallow.

Every change in the regulations that is different from the subsequent ones has accumulated great reforms by the first federal justice and the federal president. Later, Mayfair even published a paper discussing the differences between the first version of the Declaration and the current version.

This paper won a prize!

At this moment, these cultural relics and ancient books that cannot be measured in terms of money, and are almost the crystallization of the highest human wisdom of this era, actually appeared in Bruce's room, and after being disliked by him for a while, they were stuffed into the corner of the bookshelf to eat dust. …

Feier suddenly felt a little tired, her vision went dark, and her upper body trembled slightly.

After a few seconds, she put the books on the middle shelf without paying attention to what Bruce said.

At least this location won't get wet...

"Books should be kept well."

When Mayfair turned back to tell Bruce these words, her face had returned to calmness, and Bruce did not notice anything unusual.

At least... at least today... I, Phil Holmes, will let you! I will endure!

"Oh, well, look at this..."

Bruce, who was unaware of the "murderous intent" in Mayfair's eyes, responded casually to Mayfair, then began to divert his attention and began to introduce other things to Mayfair.

……

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, even though I knew the Wayne family was very rich before..."

"Cough cough!"

Margrave Wolfgang coughed and glared at Christine, who was looking around and seemed to want to make a dangerous statement.

The grandfather and grandson were already sitting in the hall of Bruce's house. Bruce seemed to be unavailable, so they greeted themselves and asked their servants to make tea for them.

"grown ups……"

A monster user belonging to Marquis Wolfgang came to the grandfather and grandson. His face was a little embarrassed and subtle, revealing his somewhat tangled heart.

"explain."

Although he roughly knew what this subordinate came to report, and Marquis Wolfgang also knew what he was struggling with, there were some things that Marquis Wolfgang would never do.

"Ahem, yes, sir, we have completed the cleaning and... tidying up of Wayne Manor. According to your previous instructions, a total of 17 of our people who came to work have stolen items from Wayne's house... Things, behaviors.”

After speaking, this loyal monster made its lips squirm.

To be honest, he knew that his subordinates were all serious people with serious jobs and serving the lord of one party. This kind of sneaky behavior was very inappropriate!

But... not everyone can remain completely unmoved when faced with a small artifact worth thousands or tens of thousands of gold pounds.

…Not to mention there are more of them! There are more! There are so many that you can’t even tell if there are a dozen missing!

This monster user had used his special monster ability in advance because of Marquis Wolfgang's instructions in advance. Only then could he notice the "petty theft" of these people under his command.

Without activating his ability, he wouldn't be able to tell at all.

This is the Wayne family!

His entanglement did not come from the embarrassment of his men's "petty theft", but because...why didn't Marquis Wolfgang annex the Wayne family?

This is wealth that can put the surname "Wolfgang" on par with "Fafnir"!

"Ugh……"

Marquis Wolfgang also saw that this loyal subordinate was out of "loyalty" and was not angry for himself.

But after all, these people still underestimated him and the empire too much.

If a local noble, after becoming powerful, suddenly becomes rich enough to rival the country...

Aren't you looking for death?

Don't these people realize that if Archduke Fafnir dares to take a step away from Sigwig, an "accident" will definitely happen?

Without this ambition and ability, Marquis Wolfgang has no need to let his family bear too many "accidents".

"Put the things back, one finger, a thousand gold pounds..."

The concerned Marquis Wolfgang casually ordered, and at the end he added:

"Send a letter to the Imperial Research Institute and ask someone to come and look after the Wayne family's house. I won't allow Bruce Wayne to find that his family is missing even one pound of gold when he inherits his assets. Do you understand?"

"Your will."

The monster user who was watched by Marquis Wolfgang had fully felt the seriousness of his lord, so he abandoned all distracting thoughts in his heart and concentrated on passing on Marquis Wolfgang's will.

He quickly collected all 17 fingers, and he quickly distributed the "work injury compensation" of gold pounds.

Also issued at the same time was Margrave Wolfgang's determination to absolutely safeguard Bruce's "inheritment of the family business", which invisibly paved the way for Bruce.

In fact, Christine, who had no intention of coveting her at all, listened mindlessly to the groans of fingers being collected somewhere in the manor.

She looked lazily at Marquis Wolfgang who was sipping tea, and suddenly said:

"Grandpa, are you doing it for your old comrades? Or for the grandson of your first love?"

"puff!!!"

As expected of Marquis Wolfgang, he spat out a mouthful of tea nearly ten meters away.

The old and shameful grandfather looked at the smiling granddaughter angrily. He was so angry that his hair stood out, but he could do nothing about his naughty granddaughter.

In the end, Marquis Wolfgang could only sigh helplessly:

"Well, if Lucifer was still here, I wouldn't have come here..."

"Lucifer?"

Christine excitedly pointed to a portrait in the hall, which was a beautiful woman with a quiet but cold eyes:

"Is it her? Is she Bruce's grandmother?"

"……Um."

Marquis Wolfgang also looked at the portrait. His eyes were complicated but his expression was calm. Time had smoothed away the impulses of his youth, allowing him to face these old friends calmly.

As long as his granddaughter doesn't cause trouble, that's fine.

"Ha! I guessed it right!"

Hearing her grandfather's affirmative answer, Christine looked at the woman in the portrait more and more excitedly, and couldn't help but said to her grandfather:

"She is indeed beautiful. If Bruce's grandmother is still alive, she should be a very charming old lady, right? Grandpa, where did you meet her? Was it by the river in a small village, where she was washing Clothes? Or taking a shower? Hehehe..."

Margrave Wolfgang had just poured himself another cup of tea, and when he heard his granddaughter reciting the plots of these third-rate novels, he couldn't help but feel angry again.

After taking a sip of tea, he reluctantly said to Christine when he heard Christine's threatening words, "If grandpa doesn't tell me, ask grandma."

"Prison."

"what?"

Kristine was stunned for a moment, thinking she had heard wrongly.

"It's the prison. She... was a prisoner at the time, and we were the Guards who captured her."

"what?"

Christine didn't expect the truth to be so strange. She couldn't help but look at the portrait again and looked at the lady again and again. She couldn't imagine that this was a woman who would commit crimes.

Let the Guards arrest her... The crime she committed is not a small one.

"Ha... I know what you are thinking. Later we found out that she was framed, so we let her go. She is a poor person. She was orphaned at a very young age and has been abused by the family that adopted her..."

Marquis Wolfgang seemed to be lost in memories and continued to talk about the past of Ms. "Lucifer". He did not notice at all that Christine, who was looking at the portrait of "Lucifer", did not know when His eyes were already widened.

"...Hey! Then there just happened to be a plague over there, and all those bastards who bullied her died, well done! Otherwise, I would chop up those bastards just for any reason!

What you don’t know is that that idiot Wayne rushed out with his sword in hand, without even looking for a reason, and was even more impulsive than me..."

"So...I chose Wayne, not you..."

A cold, almost emotionless voice that was extremely familiar to Marquis Wolfgang suddenly sounded behind Marquis Wolfgang, making the lion-like man freeze in place.

The water surface of the tea cup in his hand began to ripple, but within a few seconds, Margrave Wolfgang recovered from the shake and put the cup of tea down safely.

Standing up slowly, Marquis Wolfgang turned back and looked calmly at "Ms. Lucifer" who walked out of the portrait and frightened Christine so much that she dared not speak.

"Long time no see, Miss Lucifer..."

"Long time no see, General Leon."
