Noble district.
The Fran family mansion.
Several well-dressed intellectual aristocrats were sitting in the luxuriously decorated living room. Among them were young and old. Their clothes and hair were meticulously arranged, but judging from their serious expressions and the untouched hot tea placed in front of them, It can be seen from Dim Sum that the conversation between the two parties was very serious at this time.
Sir Frank.
The first person to break the calm was Sir Alan. This brown-haired young nobleman was the first to lose his composure and explained his purpose to the old Sir.
We come to visit today on behalf of the thoughts and will of all the nobles in Night City.
That's really rare. The old knight responded calmly, but the term 'all nobles' might not be appropriate, right? Our family is also a noble. Does this 'all' include our family's thoughts?
Please don't tell such jokes. Sir Alan's brows twitched slightly. I wonder if you have heard of some of Miss Christina's behavior in the slums?
Of course I've heard of it. Although the old knight's temples are gray, his temperament and character have become calmer over the years. Even in the face of many nobles' joint attacks, he can still remain calm and casual.
only these? Alan frowned, don't you have any opinion on her behavior?
Christina is a very kind child, and it is normal for her to sympathize with those workers who are in miserable situations and try to help them. Faced with the questioning of the young knight who was also a noble, Sir Frank acted very indifferently.
But she broke the rules of the nobility! Sir Alan couldn't help but raise his voice. She repeatedly came into contact with those untouchables!
Broken the rules? What rules were broken? Sir Frank smiled, his tone neither condescending nor condescending: Then, I would like to ask Sir Alan, among the existing laws, management regulations, and all the provisions in Night City, is there any specific clause that does not allow nobles to contact civilian workers? What about?
His tone was very calm, and he did not rely on his eldership or title to overpower others, nor was he overwhelmed by the opponent's momentum. He seemed to just calmly and naturally raised the questions in his mind to the opponent in a reciprocal manner. .
Alan was stunned.
He is not an intellectual aristocrat specializing in law, and there are very few families in Night City who study this stuff. Although it is a common convention among the nobles not to treat untouchables as human beings, or even regard the lives of untouchables as fate. Rules, but on the surface, at least in terms of laws and rules, there is no explicit provision for such a thing.
Sir Frank did not give up, but seized this point to continue to expand his offensive.
I think neither the chairman nor several legal families have promulgated corresponding legal provisions, right? So what's wrong with Christina helping these poor people?
Moreover, the concept of "I am for everyone, and everyone is for me" was left by Lord Gwen, the first generation fire bearer. This sentence is still a virtue that all our fire bearers and all nobles should abide by to this day. Sticking to the honor and dignity, isn't it the embodiment of the concept of "I am for everyone, everyone is for me" when Christina does this?
Or are you so arrogant that you want to deny that Sir Gwen still has a chairman?
The well-dressed and well-behaved old gentleman quietly looked at the speechless Alan and chuckled: Of course, Sir Alan would not have such arrogant ideas, right?
I, Sir Frank, spoke in a light tone, and put down a big hat in an understatement. Although taking off the hat is not a dangerous thing for the nobles, this set of combos is enough to make the restless Alan launch an offensive. The momentum weakened.
He cast a look for help at the few nobles who came with him, but his companions did not show any expression after noticing this look. Instead, they turned their heads silently and did not look at him.
Any noble understands that whether it is the chairman of the board or the articles and clauses formulated by other noble families, most of them are not used to protect those untouchables, but
It is used to protect and restrain nobles. ..
These clauses, laws and articles were originally intended to prevent excessive internal strife among the nobles, so that the precious power that originally belonged to Night City would be wasted in the internal fighting among the nobles, so they were restrained in this way, but later the directors The governor relaxed the conditions for the formulation of regulations, so more nobles joined in. However, most of the laws formulated by these nobles were to ensure their own interests or to provide terms that were beneficial to themselves.
Because the untouchables are too humble and have been treated as talking animals and have been tamed very docilely, the chairman will not care about their life and death, and the nobles can crush a large area with just a move of their fingers, so no nobles will be bored enough to go there. Formulate a regulation prohibiting contact with untouchables.
Moreover, several of Alan's companions of the same age could see that if they jumped out at this time, they would be seeking death, so they all kept their eyes on their noses and their noses on their hearts, their minds wandering too far away, and they remained silent.
Sir Frank, this will be a very serious accusation. If there is no evidence, it is better not to say it nonsense. Just when Alan was in a dilemma and no one was willing to help him, an old man who looked to be about the same age as the old knight spoke. I think Alan just made a slip of the tongue. It is common for young people to speak irritably and recklessly. We As an elder, you wouldn't care about a grandchild, right?
This old man is Sir Dungar, and he is also the person Sir Farlan has been most wary of since this group of people came to visit him.
Is the old fox finally unable to sit still?
The old knight cursed in his heart, but on the surface he was still kind and smiling: As an elder, of course I will not care about these things with my grandchildren. Of course, it is also what we elders should do to discipline the younger generations. Deng Mr. Gong is not the type of elder who dotes on his juniors and likes to teach dandies and giant babies, right?
That won't happen.
The two old foxes were having a strange quarrel here, and they had a business dispute with each other. In the end, the one who was hurt the most was Alan, who was the first to take the lead.
Alan's face turned red after being ridiculed for several rounds about his grandson and the giant baby. It would be fine if he really couldn't understand the taunts and sarcasm of these two people. He would just say it, but the problem is He understood the insinuations in the words but was unable to act, so he could only listen humiliatingly to the side while the two old men criticized him.
Let’s get down to business. Dungar stopped taunting Alan and took a sip of the hot tea in front of him. Your daughter has crossed the line in creating a small group among workers.
The old jazz's expression also became serious, and his eyes gradually became sharper: Crossing the line? Who draws the line?
No one draws this line.
Then you still talk about a hammer.
The chairman will not allow this kind of thing to exist. Dungar said he just hadn't drawn the line yet, but someone had already crossed it.
What do you mean?
your daughter. Dungar took another sip of tea. Christina organized the untouchables and turned them into a mob. Under the leadership of thoughtful people, they were causing chaos in the slums. The mob group was even preparing to attack the energy tower. The security team alone could no longer suppress it. Sooner or later, the chairman will take action to suppress the riot.
The old knight listened to him quietly. As he finished each sentence, the old man's expression became worse and worse.
fart! The old jazz man rose up, Christina would not do such a thing!
However, Dungar just looked at him quietly and didn't bother to explain.
Dungar wasn't lying.
The mob groups are indeed causing chaos in the city, but if they want them to attack the energy tower, they still lack the courage if there are no people behind the scenes to instigate and guide them.
In the plan of the nobles, a group of mobs will rush into the noble area and attack the Fran family's mansion. Although they will be dispersed by the guards who rush to the scene without any risk, they will be able to protect them in a logical way. , dispatched additional guards for investigation, put Fran's family under house arrest, and then carried out the next step.
As for the safety of the nobles present at this moment, there is no need to worry.
After all, it is difficult for a mob to break into the mansion, and some of the sheriffs and their private soldiers will dress up as mobs and rush into the aristocratic area with the mob, even if something unexpected happens
situation, these spies will also secretly disrupt the situation when they attack Fran's mansion.
Please calm down my friend. Dungar saw that the old knight was emotional and immediately comforted him, "I also know that Christina will never do such a thing, so I suspect that someone took advantage of her kindness to do these things."
You are right, someone must have taken advantage of Christina to do such a thing!
Of course, the old Sir would not believe that the old fox in front of him had such kind intentions. While responding verbally, his mind was spinning, and many thoughts had already appeared in his mind.
They come on behalf of all the nobles
If it's not self-exaggeration, it means that the vast majority of nobles have reached a certain agreement on Christina's matter and excluded our Fran family.
Is it the cocktail party held last time?
At that cocktail party, the nobles reached an agreement
I want to use what Tina did to further weaken the power of the Fran family.
Or
Brother Fran, tell me the truth, what else do you know about what Christina is doing recently? At this time, Dungar interrupted his thoughts.
All in all, let's see if we can get some information first.
The old knight thought like this, and then responded: Regarding what Christina did, in fact, what she told me in detail was to distribute free food to civilian workers. You said that you came with the will of all nobles, that is to say, Have all the nobles reached a consensus?
There was no unified opinion among the nobles, but everyone agreed to stop this.
After all, we can’t lose our reputation as a noble, and we don’t want the Fran family, a family with a long history, to be ruined because of the confusion of the younger generation.
Sir Dungar needed to buy time while the mob stormed the mansion.
And the old Jazz needed intelligence to get more information out of the other party.
So the two of them used the known information bit by bit to fit the information in each other's hands bit by bit.
And the plan has reached the most critical part.
Um? After they chatted for a while, Alan suddenly heard something moving outside. He stood up according to the script, and I seemed to hear something moving outside.
As soon as he said this, Sir Frank also heard the noisy noise outside.
There seems to be some noise outside?
Even if the melodious classical music is playing in the living room, it can't cover up the hustle and bustle coming from outside.
