Chapter 20 The Hu Family Patriarch

The rising sun shines through the gaps in the clouds, casting a layer of dazzling golden light on the earth.

It has to be said that over the years, human beings have abandoned industry and focused on the development of their own potential, which has rejuvenated the earth. The sky seems to be bluer, the air is fresher, and it seems to have a sweet taste in the nose.Habitable space remains a big issue.Although the houses have been built higher and taller, making full use of every inch of space and land, the residences of ordinary people are still as compact and narrow as pigeon cages, which makes people feel suffocated and greatly reduces the quality and grade of life.

There is no way to do this. The small earth can accommodate more than 200 billion people and it is already overwhelmed. This is why everyone is so enthusiastic about expanding the living space.If this problem cannot be properly resolved, the earth will be overwhelmed one day.

But no matter how far human society develops, the privileged class will always exist.Just like this manor, which covers an area of ​​more than ten square kilometers, including an artificial hill and seven or eight kilometers of coastline, is enough to make those residents who still live in the "pigeon cage" feel infinite jealousy and envy.In this era where every inch of land is very expensive, the size of a residence often symbolizes the power and status of a person or even a family.It is naturally not ordinary people who can own such a large manor.

In a huge room, antique decorations and cultural relics are placed everywhere ingeniously. All the furniture is made of solid wood, and even the bookcases are filled with all kinds of precious paper books, showing a very high historical and cultural heritage. .Any item in this room is put up for auction, enough for an ordinary family of three to live comfortably for a lifetime.

The more highly developed the era of civilization, the more important the historical and cultural heritage is, especially the so-called upper class. If they do not have a long history, no matter how rich and powerful they are, they will be ridiculed as "upstarts".Therefore, whether there is a historical and cultural background that can be passed on is often an important symbol to measure a family.Even some "upstarts" will try their best to cling to some famous historical and cultural figures, and pretend to be heirs of many generations, so as to show the world that their family has a long history.

Behind the large desk sat an old man with half-white hair.The lines on his face are resolute and blunt, and his high nose is like the beak of a vulture, which seems to be chiseled out with a knife and an axe, giving people a very majestic feeling.Although he looked old, his deep and sharp eyes were full of youthful vitality. Every breath, it seemed to be able to stir the air around him, giving people a great sense of pressure.

His name is Hu Weidong, he is the current Patriarch of the Hu family, and he is also one of the few A-level Dragon Whisperers in the Federation.The Hu family, as one of the most prestigious families in the Chinese state, not only has a long history, but also maintains a certain degree of prosperity no matter in the old era or the federal era.Now it is even more flourishing, with many children of the family, and their combat power is not bad. Many of them are still working in government departments at all levels. Among the Dragon Whisperers who fight for the world, there are also many children of the Hu family, so they play a pivotal role in many aspects. status, even the top leaders of the federal government are quite afraid of them.

Hu Weidong looked at the information on the display screen, and then said with a smile: "It seems that the Military and Political Department thinks highly of this kid, and actually asked Liu Yan to be his mentor?"

Opposite him is a middle-aged man who looks slightly similar to him, but younger.The middle-aged man's face was gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and said: "We clearly know that this kid killed our Hu family, but how much do we value him? The military and political department obviously doesn't take our Hu family seriously. Big brother, do you want us to contact you?" A few federal congressmen put pressure on the Military and Political Department to let them hand over this kid!"

Hu Weidong's face darkened, and he said displeasedly: "Wei Guo, I know that Hu Kai's death has hit you hard, but have you thought about it? Hu Kai died while doing a mission, and his skills are not as good as others. Everyone is to blame. No. If we seek revenge from someone, if it gets out, it will make others think that our Hu family can't afford to lose. Don't say such things in the future!"

"But brother, did Kaier die in vain?" Hu Weiguo said angrily, "Although Kaier's combat power is low, he is still a member of our Hu family after all. And that kid was just bred in the gene bank." It’s nothing more than experimental subjects, if we leave it like this, wouldn’t people laugh at us?”

"So what about the joke? If you have the ability, go to the Military and Political Department and see if they will hand over the man to you?" Hu Weidong said with a sneer.

Hu Weiguo was at a loss for words immediately, he hesitated and couldn't speak.Although he is Hu Weidong's cousin, he is not outstanding in combat power, and his status in the Hu family is not very high.Talking to the Ministry of Military and Political Affairs, he is far from qualified.

"Okay, I'll take care of this, you can go out." Hu Weidong waved his hands expressionlessly.

"Brother, you..." Hu Weiguo's face was full of resentment, and he wanted to say something. It can be seen that Hu Weidong's eyes were drooping, and he didn't even look at him. He walked out unwillingly, but there was a lot of resentment in his heart.In the final analysis, their status is still not high. If Hu Weidong's own son died, I am afraid that he would have jumped into a rage long ago and went to smash the opponent's body into thousands of pieces.

Hu Weidong didn't want to stand out, so why did he let his son die in vain?

After Hu Weiguo went out, Hu Weidong got up and walked to the large floor-to-ceiling windows. Facing the strong and humid sea breeze, he narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the red sunrise in the clouds, and he couldn't help sighing.

As the head of the family, what he has to consider is not his own gains and losses, but the development and destiny of the entire family.The Hu family has developed so far, and it has gathered the painstaking efforts and efforts of countless people to achieve its current achievements and status, which is hard-won.And in the long river of history, how many once glorious families disappeared without even leaving their names?In the decades he has been in charge of the family, he has witnessed the ups and downs of many families.A lesson learned from the past, he is really unwilling to follow in the footsteps of these families who have devoted all their efforts, so every seemingly simple decision must be cautious and cautious!

Hu Kai's death is nothing to him, every family's road to rise will be covered with the blood of the family's children.If it weren't for the outstanding achievements of the Hu family's children in the world battle, how could their Hu family be firmly among the first-class families?History, culture and inheritance may add to the icing on the cake of a family, but if there is no strong backing, no matter how many bright flowers there are, it will be useless.Therefore, as long as the person who died was not a core member of the family, he would not even frown.

Compared with Hu Kai's death, what interests him more is this experimental subject known as No. 337896.

An experimental body that has not officially entered the Dragon Whisperer series, without systematic study and training, can actually release the hellfire that can only be controlled by a D-level Dragon Whisperer. This alone is enough to move everyone.And after Liu Yan's painstaking care, what kind of surprises will this experimental body bring to the world?

Liu Yan's combat prowess at D+ level is not considered high, not enough to make him, an A-level powerhouse, stand in the eyes of him, but this woman's actual combat level is enough to make many C-level Dragon Whisperers ashamed, even Hu Weidong himself, If the combat power is limited to D+ level, there is no certainty that Liu Yan can be defeated.

Combat power is just a criterion for judging the level of a person's combat power, but combat power and actual combat level cannot be equated.For example, the dragon whisperers who survived the bloody battle in the world are at least one or two levels higher than the dragon whisperers of the same level.This is also the reason why the Federation set up various testing grounds inhumanely, allowing the experimental subjects to grow and break through on their own in the trials of life and death.Often after these experimental subjects break through and grow, they will have actual combat capabilities that surpass others, and they will be able to play a greater role in the battle for the world.

After pondering for a while, Hu Weidong returned to the leather chair and sat down, staring at the information on the screen, wondering what he was thinking.After a few minutes, a eagle-like smile appeared on his face, and as soon as he pressed the table, the door opened silently, and a thin man walked in. His face was pale and bloodless, as if he had never seen him before. He looked as if he had passed through the sun, and his appearance was also a little wretched, but there was a chilling light in the constantly turning eyeballs.

The man came to Hu Weidong, bowed slightly and asked, "What's your order?"

Hu Weidong asked blankly: "Does this subject No. 337896 have a name?"

According to the regulations, the experimental body can have a name when it enters the Dragon Whisperer series, instead of being called a number of experimental bodies as before.Having a name also means having an identity recognized by the Federation and having most of the rights of ordinary people.Of course, before they regain their freedom, they do not have complete personal freedom. They must work for the company they belong to, fight for the world, until they die or accumulate enough meritorious service.

The man replied respectfully: "I already have it. He picked it up himself. It's called Ma Jianyao. It seems to have followed the name he entered as his identity in the experimental field."

Hu Weidong nodded, and said, "Please contact Minister Kuang for me, and tell them that I am willing to pay ten times the price to ask them to transfer the ownership of Ma Jianyao!"

The man froze for a moment, seeming a little surprised.In his impression, Hu Weidong is an extremely shrewd person. Even if this new Dragon Whisperer named Ma Jianyao kills Hu Kai, he won't spend so much unnecessary money to buy back his ownership and then take revenge on him. ?Therefore, after hearing the order, he did not execute it immediately, but raised his head to look at Hu Weidong, and only after confirming that he had heard correctly, did he go out suspiciously.

After the man went out, Hu Weidong smiled, turned around and looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window, but his thoughts gradually flew away.
