The father just calmly puts the steaks and vegetables into his mouth, which is enough to make the son frightened and unable to eat. This is the majesty accumulated from all the family education so far. A wife must be absolutely obedient to her husband, and a son must be absolutely obedient to her husband. Be absolutely obedient to your father, a younger brother must be absolutely obedient to your elder brother, and an employee must be absolutely obedient to your superiors.

Gerrard's family and his company are all bound by these unbreakable rules. This is order and a stable food chain.

What's more, Kane messed up yesterday on a dog crown matter. He clearly remembered that before his father forgives the culprit, he will definitely leave a punishment that will be unforgettable for the culprit.

"Tell me about yesterday," Toby Gerrard put down his knife and fork. "I have seen the report this afternoon, but I would rather listen to you. Those people, no matter how capable they are, are outsiders. My Son, you are the only one I can trust."

Do you really trust me because of our blood relationship, father?Kane thought painfully, in my opinion, you have added trust because I am a chess piece controlled by you.

"Yesterday, based on the existing intelligence, I made arrangements in reality in advance. After the imaginary space expanded, my team successfully suppressed the union radical team.

Five minutes after the battle, I confirmed that Osh, the leader of the radical faction, was not seen at the scene. Because the plan was unfolding too smoothly, I had the greedy idea that this was a good opportunity to deal with the radical faction of the guild.

So I modified the plan and let the unreliable police team fish with the remaining enemy, while the main force was deployed on the enemy's possible reinforcement route.As a result, Osh did come, bringing with him two terrifying reinforcements. "

"The identities of the two reinforcements can be confirmed, Jeanne d'Arc Alter and Baptiste Fourier. The other team I sent originally followed Osh and wanted to deal with him, but was cleared by those two people. "

Gerald looked at the greasy dinner plate and said: "You didn't recognize them, which proves that their disguise strategy was successful. Kane, if you recognized these two people, how would you make a decision on the battlefield at that time?"

Kane answered without thinking: "Run, run immediately, wait until the time in imaginary space runs out and return to reality. I am the heir to the Shinra Group, and my life is more precious than the lives of my men combined."

"Yes, this is something I often tell you. It's great that you can remember it. Kane, you have a direct confrontation with Fourier and tell me your feelings about him."

"He... is a monster. I can't connect him with the harmless lawyer in the girls' school. He should be a left-handed swordsman, but his right hand is equally flexible, and his behavior is controlled by the 'oath' Bound, he has seven oaths, and I think one of them may be 'not to kill anyone'.

Fourier had several weapons hidden in the boxes behind his back, all of which were forged into the shape of sword blades from high-energy crystals that stored magic power.Except for the cyan crystal blade embedded in the blue crystal blade, the other crystal blades probably share the same hilt. Each one has a different color and each has different functions. The crystal blades can be switched according to different combat needs and fitted into the sword. as his weapon.

Combining the information my father read to me and my personal experience, it can be determined that the function of orange is to create a barrier, blue is to freeze, and cyan is to speed up. The information shows that on the first night, he even pulled out the red crystal. Blade, function unknown.

In addition, he insists on deciding the outcome with the swordsman.After seeing that I was also a swordsman, he got serious and severely injured me with one move, and then cleared my men. Just when he was about to torture me, a mysterious female swordsman appeared, and the battle between them was beyond My understanding of the swordsman... Father, who is that lady? If possible, I would like to thank her in person. "

Kane's answer was silence. Just when the son was wondering whether he had asked a question he shouldn't have asked, and felt uneasy, the father finally gave the answer——

"You don't need to know her. She is just an undead that should have been sleeping and was awakened by my own hands."

Undead?

While chewing on this word, Kane accidentally met his father's eyes, and quickly lowered his eyes.

At that moment, he felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar and had the illusion of "death".

Chapter 11 Father and Son·Inheritance

Seeing his son's state of decline, Gerald sighed and asked, "Are you afraid of him?"

Kane knew that his father was talking about Fourier. Thinking back to what happened last night, even if he secretly asked someone to get him some tranquilizer pills to take, his heart was still gripped by fear. His right hand was shaking, and the severed penis was born out of thin air. Phantom pain.

"Sorry, I...I'm really...scared of him." Kane said hesitantly.

"This is normal. Everyone will be afraid. The mediocre ones drown in their own fears, while the strong ones stand up and face their fears. However, you should not be afraid of him.

Since Fourier can become the tool of the Dimensional Witch, it shows that his own strength is weak. As a swordsman, you may not be able to defeat him once in your life.However, my son, you are not a swordsman, but the heir of a company. Cricket, a swordsman, is not worthy of killing you.

In the past, people distinguished their superiority by blood, but now, it is money that determines superiority. Money is the most powerful force in the world. With money, no matter how strong a swordsman is, he will become a slave to our grudges.

After all these years, do you see a swordsman walking up to me alive and using his brute strength? "

"No, father," Kane whispered.

"That's right, he won't be the first swordsman to appear in your life, nor will he be the last one. You can despise them and then follow the road I paved for you. This road is smooth, Straight to heaven, I remove all obstacles that may stand in your way.

I have worked hard for most of my life. These things are mine and the future will be yours.Starting a career requires passion, while maintaining a career requires stability. You still have time to practice. "

"Who, then, should I fear, father?"

"What you should be afraid of is the monsters entrenched in the Senate. Each of those financial giants are good at eating human blood bread."

Kane nodded. He would do whatever his father said. This had become his philosophy in this family and in the father-son relationship.Although he felt that his father was somewhat involved with the girl named Jeanne, he swallowed the doubt once it reached his lips.

Like the Sword Witch, this is also a question that shouldn't be asked.

At this time, the second-class maid Phoenix opened the door and came in, blowing a breath of fresh air into Kane's depressed soul.Seeing this cute, gentle, innocent lover with big breasts always makes him feel happy, and he feels less depressed at home.

Phoenix serves the sick Mrs. Gerald from [-] pm to [-] pm on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays every week. She is diligent and quick with her hands and feet, and has a gentle light in her eyes. She is a healing character. Gerald After taking a fancy to this, he asked Phoenix to serve Mrs. Gerald.

He believed that his wife was mentally ill, and it became an established fact without any evidence. He hired someone to take care of her and forced her to take medicine every day, and the specific implementation fell to Phoenix.

At the same time, Phoenix is ​​also tasked with monitoring the nearby area, including her brother's actions and the Black Jungle next door.Unfortunately, just as this little traitor chose her lover between her brother and her lover, she also chose her friend between her employer and her friend.

"Has your wife taken your medicine?" Gerald asked.

Phoenix thought of the mistress he served. Mrs. Gerald was restrained in a black room without windows, and what was even worse was the handcuffs and shackles that restrained Mrs. Gerald on the chair.

To the second-class maid, the master is more like dealing with a witch than keeping a mentally ill person under house arrest.Whenever those potions were poured into Madam's mouth, her slender and pale body would convulse, and black blood vessels would emerge.

I don’t know why, but Phoenix is ​​not afraid of Madam, and even feels a little kind to her, similar to her mother.

"Not yet, Madam refuses to eat because it's too hot," she replied.

"Then let it cool before eating. What is she doing now?"

"Ma'am, she's still fixed...I mean resting."

The tyrant of the family replied coldly: "When she wakes up, tell her that if she still refuses to take the medicine, I will let Ruota kneel in front of her until she is willing to take the medicine. If Ruota is not enough, Then add Kane. The sons have grown up, and it’s time to make some contribution to their mother’s illness.”

Phoenix glanced at Kane and agreed in a low voice.From her angle, she could see Kane's clasped hands on his knees and the bulging veins on the backs of his hands.

There are four people in this family, but there is only a relationship between father and son. The wife is the slave of the master, the brothers are as indifferent as passers-by, and the son is not close to his mother... When he thought of this, the softness of motherhood spread in Phoenix's chest. , making her look at her lover with loving eyes.

Poor Kane doesn't know how much he has to suffer in this disintegrated home just to meet Mrs. Gerard.And she is very happy to be the angel who redeems him. The two puppets who cannot decide their own destiny and are always manipulated by others embrace each other, and they can also feel a little warmth and find happiness in life.

Gerrard explained something to his two servants with different statuses, and Phoenix and Kane went out one after another.The man and woman engaged in an underground love affair looked around nervously for a long time before secretly holding hands at the corner.

"I heard you felt nauseous the day before yesterday and even vomited later." Kane worriedly took his lover into his arms, "The weather is getting hotter, so you should take care of yourself."

"I'm okay, I'll be fine after just resting for a while. Poor madam... Well, she can't eat all day long now, and her spirits are getting worse and worse."

"Yeah." Kane responded vaguely.

"I know Madam is not your mother. It is normal for you to have a estrangement from her and Master Ruota, but at least, I think you should talk. Madam is suffering from mental illness because she is too bored.

A family should be harmonious. You see, my brother leaves early and comes home late every day. My relationship with him is average, but when we talk, it’s natural. "

"Ok."

"Phini... let's move to the country together." Kane had an impulse. "Everything here is too annoying. Let's move to the country together and be two free and happy birds. I will protect You, be a good husband."

If Phoenix chose Kane because of her good looks, gentleness, and desire to redeem his misfortune, then Kane chose Phoenix because of her big breasts, gentleness, and the fact that she could make him feel protective.

The young girl didn't know how jealously Mrs. Gerald, whom she was serving, stared at her figure behind her back, and how she viewed her relationship with him with hatred;

The girl didn't know that her brother, who left early and came home late, was a radical leader of the labor union, and the conflict with her employer was becoming increasingly acute;

What the girl doesn't know is that her friend next door and at school also has a secret.

Each of the three things she doesn't know could kill her, and when a fight begins to brew, the first victims to die will be innocent people like Phoenix.

So he wants to protect her. When a man protects the woman he likes, he can create the illusion of power.

This is the illusion that Kane needs most, and it is also an illusion that his father, subordinates, or krypton gold props cannot give him.He had been trapped in the beautiful dream he had spun for himself and did not want to wake up.

And hidden in the deepest part of the dream is a forbidden memory.

Similarly, in the library, Fourier's mood also fluctuated when Jota recited the school motto of Charlemagne's Imperial High School.Those obscure Latin, Greek, jurisprudence and advanced mathematics came from memory, which was unpleasant.

Fortunately, he has overcome these hardships and became Baptiste Fourier.

"Looking at your expression, I know I guessed right." Ruota smiled, "The school still has the name of the senior, and the honor you won in Latin is comparable to that of a college student specializing in Latin in the School of Liberal Arts. Comparable, but at that time, the senior was just a middle school student.

I have always been curious about what drives seniors to learn a dead language, and what makes seniors stand in front of me and become slaves of grudges. "

The coldness in Fourier's eyes grew thicker, and Ruota, the wild boy nicknamed JoJo, responded to Fourier without fear, even though he was still pointed at a black gun.

"I have no grudges against your father. I just came here to pursue my wishes." Fourier stuffed his gun back into the holster, "What about you, young Mr. Gerard?"

"I would rather you call me JoJo, Jota, or junior. Think about it, if I didn't hate the name 'Gerrard', why would I show up here and tell you what I know instead of what I know?" Father. Don't worry, senior. Regarding your real name and your past, I will keep it a secret until my life comes to an end. This is an oath.

The power of the 'Oath', a subjugation-level spell, must be best understood by seniors who have taken seven oaths.So give me a little credit. "

"You are Gerald's son, and it is impossible for me to trust you. If you can explain your reasons for coming here, maybe we can be friends."

"You can still be friends even though you don't have trust. It can be said that the senior understands the essence of the school motto."

Ruota leaned on the bookshelf and said: "I also want to be friends with the senior, because I also want to knock down Toby Gerrard. I hate him so much, and I also hate myself."

In Ruota's description, an autocratic monarch rules over the family, his spouse becomes his slave, and his son is a servant. All of this makes Ruota feel suffocated.

He is luckier than Kane. As the second son of the family, he does not have to be an obedient puppet or the heir of a company. Instead, he goes to a school in another place, where he is exposed to progressive ideas, free air, and feels the beautiful side of human beings. Finally, when he looked back at Orleans, which was like a steel cage, he suddenly felt resentful.

When he returned to his hometown, he saw that autocracy had made his family rich, but it had made the city lose its vitality and brought suffering. The source of that suffering came from his father, and everyone's misfortune came from Toby. Gerald.

Those who eat people are people, but they are not people either.

Fourier shook his head. People's happiness can be contagious to each other, but people's sufferings are not the same. He was very indifferent to this city, just as he was very indifferent to Ruota's misfortune and anger.His indifference was conveyed to Ruota, making the other party calm down as well.

"What do you think of Phoenix?"

"Phoenix, I..."

JoJo, who was making an impassioned speech just now, was stunned for a moment, and lowered his head in confusion. After a few seconds, he raised his head again, and his determined eyes returned to Ruota's eyes.

"I like her, and she likes my eldest brother. I want to compete with my eldest brother to get her, that's all."

"You are very frank, and I like it very much." Fourier stretched out his hand and said: "Compared to your brother and father, I do have a better impression of you. From this moment on, you are my friend."

"Nice to meet you, senior."

Ruota shook Fourier's hand, and Fourier could feel that it was not the hands of a swordsman.

There is no fate between us.he thought.

Chapter 12 Father and Son·Return

Last night's meeting with Hei Zhen and the subsequent encounter made Osh painfully discover that there was a traitor in the trade union organization that he regarded as his brothers and sisters.

Back to the morning of this day, Fourier was still searching in the library, and Kane had not yet had dinner with his father.When Osh was working, he saw that the workers in the factory were panic-stricken. They all knew that there was a mole in the organization, but they didn't know who the mole was.

I don’t know if I will be the next target of the insider’s betrayal. Some timid people can’t wait to join the organization when it is gaining momentum, but when it shows signs of ebbing, they can’t wait to quit, and even want to become the next insider. Ghosts have become "good birds" that choose trees to rest.

Some people were absent from work for no apparent reason, and those who were absent from work were seen packing their bags and heading to the Shinra Building.In name, they quit their jobs and joined the Shinra Security Department.

But in fact, those people were all union members who "died" in the imaginary number space last night. At the moment of death, their souls were captured by the imaginary number space, and the results of "loyalty" were written in, and they returned to reality the next day. Later, work backwards to show the process of "loyalty".

After that, these people will become employees of the Shinra Group, and the strong ones will be trained as new special forces, fighting with their former companions in the imaginary space without mercy.

Hei Zhen is right. If a person dies in the imaginary space, it is better to treat it as if he died in reality, so that he will not hesitate when taking action.

There is a general range of traitors in Osh. The moderates and radicals of the union are pushing against walls on both sides and confronting each other within the organization. It is a logical choice for someone who wants to use Gerald's hand to cleanse the opposing factions.

Although for Osh, who loves his co-workers like family, this is such a painful reality.

"We have a traitor among us."

When Osh led a few cronies to show off their cards against the moderates, he saw everyone exchanging uneasy and evasive looks.At that moment, he understood that a whistleblower was a traitor, and the words of all the insiders showed that the direction of the wind had changed decisively.

He said nothing, just fired these people from the union and promoted people to fill the gaps.

"Osh, I know we are sorry for you, but we are also trying to save ourselves." A mole said excitedly: "You said you took everyone to Mr. Gerald to ask for an explanation. Seeking profit. But what about profit? I only see people constantly becoming victims and becoming tools in the struggle between the masters outside and Mr. Gerrard!

Wake up, you can't beat Mr. Gerald. It's for everyone's benefit to be a good citizen. Maybe if he is happy, he will reward us with a few mouthfuls of soup and a few pieces of meat?If you fight against him, he will only want to peel off our skin and stretch our muscles, and in the end nothing will be left behind.

You can be noble, but you have no right to ask others to follow you in being noble. If you want to die, just do it yourself! "

Osh's eyes fell on the traitor's face. Although he was silent, the traitor remembered that this young man was born with great strength. Without training, he could fight against Gerald's special forces with his strong physique. Later, I don't know where I learned swordsmanship, and I held a big sword like a door panel and became a banner of victory in the imaginary space.

With such a flag, killing a traitor is no different from killing a chicken in terms of difficulty.

Now, he could feel that Osh really wanted to kill him.

"You, you don't dare. I, I am Lord Gerald's person now. He, he promised to protect our personal safety. If you kill someone in reality, you will definitely be imprisoned. When the time comes, Life is worse than death. You still have parents who are workers, and you also have a sister who works as a maid in the master's house... Think about them, you don't dare to move, right..."

"Good bird" said the last word on his face, beads of sweat as big as soybeans rolled down his forehead. His legs gave way and he knelt in Osh's shadow.Relying on a strong person can give these wallflowers a sense of security, but the weak nature of the wallflowers has not changed.

"Today is a good day, no one should die."

This sentence... To be precise, the speaker saved the traitor's life.Osh turned around and saw Gerrard standing there, with Kane beside him. The three men's eyes met and were heated by the midday sun.

Osh's comrades looked at their leader. The good birds' eyes wandered between old branches and new branches. Kane was full of hostility, while Gerald's eyes were calm and he didn't take Osh seriously at all.

"You're right, sir, no one should die today."

Osh's answer made everyone breathe a sigh of relief. He turned back to look at the good bird who defended himself, with pity in his eyes.

"It's your right to choose to be someone's dog. You kneel and I stand. This is the result of the choice."
