Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 50: You can have a sister, but you don’t want subordinates

"Come and see, your brother is here." The old butler seemed to be focused, but in fact he was keeping an eye on all directions. With his professionalism as an excellent butler, he spotted the young master at the first moment.

But what surprised Lin You was the new identity label that the other party attached to him.

"Brother? What brother?"

The old housekeeper took it for granted: "Miss Minerva, since she has obtained the surname of the Forester family, you are her brother, right? Considering your age, you can't be her father, right? Of course, if you give her this surname on the grounds of taking her husband's surname, that makes sense, but Master, you have to prepare for this early, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings in the future..."

"Okay, okay, brother is brother." Lin You was frightened by the old housekeeper's "reasoning" and quickly stopped, "He is my brother, no other explanation is needed."

The old butler leaned forward slightly, smiling, behaving as properly as ever; only Lin You felt helpless.

It's only been a few days and the old housekeeper has begun to take advantage of the situation, helping the little girl to establish her status and position in indirect ways.

If Chronos hadn't forced it on him, if the identity and role of the reincarnated Athena hadn't been too special, Lin You would not have kept her by his side because he had certain hopes and intentions.

Thinking of Athena's identity and role, Lin Youcai suddenly found that Minerva's behavior was a little strange. Because from the moment he walked out of the library, the little girl's original laughter suddenly disappeared.

When I got closer, I saw the baby holding the locket on his chest with his short hands, and his black eyes moving around; sometimes he looked down at the locket, and sometimes he tilted his little head to look in the direction of Lin You.

When Minerva saw Lin You appear, she was obviously stunned, and then her little face suddenly broke into a bright smile the next moment.

The locket on her chest was pushed high up by her little hand and swung towards Lin You; she laughed happily "Ahahaha".

"I've never seen Miss Minerva so happy. She must be happy that she has a new brother." The old butler's calm and decent tone could not conceal his unprincipled and doting attitude at all.

Lin You knew that the so-called "happy because of having a new brother" was all bullshit. What really made the little girl happy was that she could sense the gradually active little universe in her.

The gems contained in the locket are the energy essence of all the holy garments. When the Ophiuchus microcosm begins to become active, it will inevitably resonate with the energy of the Ophiuchus holy garments in the gems.

The little girl felt a sense of intimacy because of the resonance of the small universe.

As for the word "brother", does a little kid who has not been weaned know how to pronounce this word?

"Let's have breakfast here." Lin You picked up the visiting card from Gringotts with a sullen look on his face. "Notify Gringotts that I will meet them at tea time in two hours, and I will open the fireplace in the manor at that time."

"Yes, young master." The old butler responded and left.

Naturally, the stroller was left behind.

Lin You suddenly had an idea and slightly mobilized a little bit of the energy of the universe to cover his palm, then stretched it over the baby girl's head and hung it in mid-air.

The little girl first looked at the dark shadow above with curiosity, then her eyes lit up, she threw the locket away, and stretched out her hands to reach upwards.

"The subconscious mind does not reject the small universe of Ophiuchus. It seems that the personal grudge between Athena and Asclepius has been cleared along with the story?" Lin You thought to himself, and accidentally put his hand a little lower, and was grabbed by the little girl.

Lin You pretended to withdraw his hand, but the chubby little hands were surprisingly strong and kept pulling his palm down. Seeing that the argument was going on, the little girl frowned, her cheeks puffed up like meat buns, and she looked like she was determined to compete with this new brother.

Lin You tried to retract the energy of the small universe in his palm, but the little girl was just stunned for a moment, then she grabbed his palm and shook it up and down and left and right without any hesitation, as if trying to shake out the familiar "taste" again. In short, she refused to let go.

"Well, your naughty nature has been exposed so early, hasn't it?" Lin You was at a loss; seeing the little girl's determination not to let go, if he raised his hand now, he might lift the little girl up with him.

Thus, the entire morning passed as Miss Minerva contentedly played with Count Goff's hands.

It was not until the representative from Gringotts came to visit that the old butler rescued Earl Goff from the little girl's "hands".

"I didn't expect that it was you, Elder Lacibe, who came." Earl Goff pushed tea and snacks to the guests, acting like a very English gentleman, totally different from the man who wreaked havoc in Gringotts more than a dozen hours ago.

"If it weren't for the great help from the Earl, I'm afraid I would have been punished internally now." Facing the young Earl again, Lacibee was terrified and respectful, "I will never forget your kindness."

Lin You understood the other party's implication, but smiled calmly: "Please don't misunderstand, Elder Lacibe; I have never thought of helping you or saving you. All my anger is directed at the entire Gringotts, not certain people within Gringotts."

This statement obviously went beyond the expectations of the goblin elder; his previous expression of gratitude, even if it was not a pledge of allegiance, was equivalent to taking a stand. But he did not expect such a response from the other party.

Lacibi was puzzled: from Lin You's words, it could be heard that the young earl completely understood his hint, but why did he refuse so bluntly?
The goblin elder continued to test him: "Mr. Earl, before the Gringotts board sent me here, they explicitly entrusted me to express their sincere apologies to you. The board is willing to agree to your terms. If you have any other requests, I will convey them to you and do my best to get them approved by the board. I mean, no matter when in the future..."

"I understand your meaning very well, and my answer is also very clear." Lin You interrupted him directly, "I do not need, nor do I intend to find or place a representative of interests in Gringotts."

"Why?" Lacibee was anxious. "Although... although the power of Gringotts is not worth mentioning in your eyes, our financial monopoly in the wizarding world can provide you with great help..."

At this moment, the goblin elder, like a "goblin traitor" who was afraid that he would not be able to sell his country for a good price, desperately promoted the advantages of Gringotts. He knew very well that he was able to escape from prison entirely due to Lin You's unreasonable force and coercion; if he wanted to keep his position for a long time, he had to hold on to Forrest's thigh in the future.

Unfortunately, Lin You's attitude remained the same: "I am very clear about Gringotts' position in the wizarding world, and I am also very clear about how much trouble a 'subordinate' can bring me."

"No, no, I would never..." Lacibi tried to defend himself.

"Listen to me first, Elder Lacibi." Lin You did not give the other party a chance to finish his words. "It is the instinct of living things for the weak to follow and obey the strong. But such followers are not only a help to the strong, but also a burden.

At first, the weak will be in awe of the power and authority of the strong; but as time goes by, the weak's mentality will slowly change. He will naturally think that as a follower, he is also a part of the strong and is naturally qualified to share these powers and authority.

They will use the power and authority that do not belong to them to seek personal gain under the banner of the strong, even if this behavior will bring unnecessary trouble to the strong. Whether in the Muggle world or the wizarding world, I have seen too many idiots who mess up things and then throw the unmanageable mess to their superiors.

I have a feeling that if I accept your surrender, you will use my name to pursue your own unlimited selfish interests in Gringotts - this is the bad nature of all intelligent creatures; one day in the future, I will be forced to pay for the trouble you have caused.

What I hate most is unexpected troubles.

The power of the Forresters comes from their own strength and the unspoken rule of the wizarding world that respects strength; therefore, I do not need additional and uncontrollable subordinates. "

Listening to Earl Goff's long speech, Elder Lacibe murmured and dared not say a word; he really did not dare to make any unrealistic promises to the eight-year-old boy.

You ask if they will use the name of the Forrest Family to pursue their own interests?

This was originally Lacibi's original intention of being so eager to curry favor with someone, okay?
"Okay, you can go back now." Lin You said, "Go back and tell the elders of Gringotts' board of directors that there is no need to worry about anything else. Once the transaction is completed, the matter will end here."
