Chapter 1427 Family War

In the Duke of Stoke’s house, there is only one butler, Sahara, but no one dares to treat Sahara as a real butler. In the golden hall at this moment, Sahara is sitting next to the Duke of Stoke’s family and O’Neill. I feel that the live performance is lifeless, but for the live music performance, there is an expression of intoxication in it. When I hear the sound, I wave my hand gently to echo it, and there is a look of satisfaction and intoxication in it.

O'Neill didn't want to come by the Duke of Stoke's side at first, but one more invitation had just been prepared, so the younger brother of the Duke of Stoke, who hadn't seen each other, and his uncle O'Neill, who had given Su Zixuan the battlefield flying knife stunt, was accepted by Stoke. The Duke of Ke dragged himself forward, and the performance in the Golden Hall was just as gorgeous as before, but behind this gorgeousness, there were all the same old faces and old singing voices, and there was nothing surprising and new, although the musical attainments It's very tall, but such an elegant art is only fascinated by the Sahara housekeeper and Mrs. Selina.

Relatively speaking, the Duke of Stoke, O'Neill, and Scheffman all felt bored and thoughtful.

"That kid is not bad. When are you going to marry Su Lun to our Norman Earl Lee?" O'Neill lowered his voice, and suddenly said to the Duke of Stoke in front of the tide-like music event.

"Huh?" Duke Stoke's slender brows frowned, making his ageless face look even more handsome. Several girls who had been watching him from afar suddenly blushed a little. Turning his head away, the Duke of Stoke felt their gazes, his brows relaxed from frowning, and he smiled slightly at O'Neill's nonsensical words, "This matter depends on two people. Nah."

O'Neill turned his head in surprise, as if he was meeting the Duke of Stoke for the first time, "Not to mention, you have really changed, and you are completely different from usual. Do you still remember when you asked Su Lun When I married Smith, my dissuasion to you was completely ineffective. At that time, I thought you were a super stubborn old man. You have been like this since you were a child. Even my brother, I don’t want to change anything from you. Your decision! Tell me, what made you change?"

The corners of the Duke of Stoke's lips raised, he squinted at O'Neill, and then smiled lightly, "I'm old, and there's no need to care about these young people's affairs, so that how they develop is up to them."

O'Neill curled his lips, with an expression as if he was looking at old age and refusing to admit his old stubbornness, "It seems that you have really changed, if you were in the past, our proud prodigal swordsman will always have a prodigal son with a mentality that will never grow old Swordsman, how could you say such a thing, come on, don't be coy, tell me your only brother, what made you change, is it someone or something?"

The Duke of Stoke looked helpless, looked at O'Neill who had already started talking, thought for a while, and then said calmly, "Nothing, everything that happened here changed me. I took it from my father. On the day of the Stoke family, my father told me that I am a prodigal son and cannot lead the whole family. If you want to prove yourself, you should do it well so that he in heaven can see what I have done. So that At that time, I put away the nature of the prodigal son, and really wanted to develop and grow the entire Stoke family. The elders of the family cannot violate it, and I want to maximize their interests."

The Duke of Stoke sighed, "So I have always managed the family with iron and blood methods, so that letting Su Lun marry the Duke of Smith is the greatest guarantee for the family, but in the end I discovered that I Everything I insisted on was actually wrong. Invisibly, I actually entered the point where my father was stubborn. The appearance of Norman Lee cannot be denied. It really changed me. I began to reflect on everything I did. , My love for Su Lun evoked my reflection on the past. So I found that the elder has actually become a big cancer restricting the development of our family. The external suppression of the Duke of Humington let me know the original The Stoke family has always been on the verge of collapse."

"So you broke down and then stood up. At the cost of declaring bankruptcy and losing your reputation, you used the way of participating in swordsmanship competitions to accumulate the glory of the Stoke family again. In addition, the appearance of Norman Lee, a powerful general, made everything difficult. The plan has miraculously succeeded! I can see that although the elders of the family hold a grudge against you, they are still very proud of what you have done!" O'Neal smiled, and Xuan'er said, "Our family The Duke of Humington, the biggest opponent of the family, has now been effectively contained. The title of Norman Lee, Earl Haidi, is extraordinary. Isn’t it amazing? You must know that in the history of the previous family, we and the pirates were very different. It's irreconcilable!"

"This may be the reason why I changed my mind. Everything is possible. Those things you think are impossible, in a sense, they will indeed happen in front of you in a special way. Conservative and stubborn It's not my style anymore, but the matter didn't end with the swordsmanship competition, the Duke of Humington is like a cockroach, he won't be under our suppression, obediently obedient, and he is already ready to move and take action."

"How dare he take action!?" O'Neill looked at the Duke of Stoke in surprise.

Scheffman, who had been by the side, suddenly spoke. His voice was immature and hesitant, but there was a flash of light in his eyes, "Duke of Humington, under the pressure of his father's policy on Manchester harbor, his five ships The ocean-going smuggling ship was captured by us, which directly ruined his smuggling trading channel from the port of Manchester, which will directly cause huge losses to his business. However, on the same hand, a pirate force formed by Mr. The Duke's underground forces formed a secret strike force, and the outside was deterring several of his mansions, making him suspicious, but this was only a temporary restraint of his hands and feet. The Duke of Humington's power is huge and deeply rooted. Although the national power is frozen, but basically all foreign powers have not been suppressed in any way, and the real strength of the Duke of Humington is actually abroad. The power inside the Eagle Empire is not strong, just his Tigers , are a force that is rampant across the world, and the future Stoke family is likely to face a huge impact."

Schiffman's wisdom had already shown its prominence during the swordsmanship competition.

O'Neill looked at the Duke of Stoke in surprise, "We are really going to fight the Duke of Humington!?"

The Duke of Stoke said with a wry smile, "Do I still have a choice?"
