On the eve of the Peace Conference, the city of chaos was quiet and peaceful.
However, the homing pigeons that fly out of the city from time to time in the night indicate that not everyone can sleep peacefully.
Ordinary people may regard this day as a festival. For the City of Chaos, it is an annual event. Because the City of Chaos was established on this day, there are still many children looking forward to tomorrow's festival. .
In addition to the controllers of various races, some well-informed businessmen are also having trouble sleeping at this moment.
Buffett Estate.
Standing behind Ian who was fishing under the moonlight, Hill said with a bit of worry: "Tomorrow's peace conference, I don't know what the outcome will be."
"With Alex's efforts, the Peace Alliance has become a general trend. Even if Andre's ambition does not die, it will be difficult to make any big waves again." Ian said calmly.
"You said that Andre is a calm madman who might do anything." Hill's brows were still furrowed.
"But he never does stupid things, which is why he can make the Los Empire continue to become stronger." Ian smiled, "If he were a businessman, he would also be a very successful businessman."
Hill mused.
"In fact, everyone should thank Alex. He is a true warrior, brave and resourceful." Ian looked at the moon on the water and said with emotion: "It is hard to imagine that such a young man has experienced At the lowest point in his life, when his force is at its peak, he can still use his force with such restraint, knowing very clearly what he wants to do, and being able to execute it perfectly. Such a young man is really rare."
"Alex is indeed a very outstanding person." Hill nodded slightly. Although she didn't care much about those strong men, this man who was profoundly changing the world still attracted her attention. .
She once thought that among young people, she should be one of the people with the right to speak. Buffett's huge money empire has given her a lot of say in the entire Nolan continent.
But it wasn't until the world gradually became chaotic that she discovered that such a right to speak was not stable, and she couldn't even make the world make any changes because of her.
However, strong men of the younger generation, such as Alex and Irina, stepped forward at this time, and their every move was profoundly changing the situation of the world, forcing everyone to listen carefully to them. Discourse.
"Money is the most worthless thing in troubled times. Big fists are the last word." Ian said with a slight smile.
"Money may not be useful, but technology is. The train line to Wake Ridge has been successfully put into trial operation. Once the war starts, soldiers can be transported directly to Wake Ridge in batches." Hill also had a smile on his face. .
Ian slowly turned his head to look at Hill, and the smile on his face became brighter, "What I valued most about you at the beginning was actually not your keen sense of finance, but your courage to innovate and not be afraid of failure.
I don’t want a keeper, I want a successor who can lead the Buffett family into the next greater era, and I’m sure you can do that right now. "
"I will try my best to live up to your expectations." Hill nodded slightly.
"If the Peace Conference collapses, our Buffett family will use all our property to support the Peace Alliance." Ian added.
…
Malton Manor.
"Master, I heard that things are not peaceful recently. How about we go out and hide? I heard that the Los Empire may be coming, and staying in the city of chaos is not a good idea." Old Mrs. Dennis walked into Jeffrey In the study room, looking at Jeffrey sitting by the window, he said nervously.
Jeffrey glanced at her and reprimanded her coldly: "Ignorant woman, you have to run to Luodu to take refuge when the devil attacks. If the Los Empire comes to attack the city of chaos, you can't return it by running to Luodu." OK?"
"We are just businessmen. We also have industries in Luodu. We are also human beings. As long as we don't tell, who will know?" Denise was anxious.
"My family, the Morton family, prospered because of the city of chaos. There is no reason to retreat like this." Jeffrey said solemnly.
"Master, if you don't leave, then I will take Cyril and the others away. My parents have prepared flying mounts and will set off tonight." Denise said with a little dodge in her eyes.
"Get in!" Jeffrey glanced in the direction of the door and said coldly.
Cyril shrank his head and came in reluctantly. He lowered his head and did not dare to look at Jeffrey. Instead, he hid behind Denise and whispered: "Father, just come with us. Come on, let’s take all our belongings with us, and we can enjoy the blessings at a glance when we go to Luodu, and maybe our life will be more prosperous than in the chaotic city.”
"Evil!" Jeffrey threw the cup at Cyril's feet, and the tea and porcelain cup fragments splashed against his feet.
"Forget it if you don't go. Anyway, I want to go with my mother and uncle. There is no way I can stay and coexist with this broken city..." Cyril jumped back two steps and exited the study directly.
"Get out! I will treat you as if I don't have this son!" Jeffrey said angrily, his hands and beard trembling.
"Master, we'll wait for you in Luodu." Denise didn't dare to stay long, so she said that and hurriedly turned and left.
Soon, Denise, the Cyril family and several servants got into the carriage and left Malton Manor, carrying large and small bags of belongings.
Jeffrey leaned back heavily on his chair and sighed, his expression unable to conceal his loneliness.
"Grandpa, it's getting cold. Let me make you some hot tea." At this moment, a figure walked in carrying a small stove.
The small stove was placed on the coffee table, and the charcoal fire was burning brightly. The copper stove started to steam after a while.
Jeffrey looked at Gloria, who was making tea with a serious expression, and asked, "Do you want to leave?"
"If the City of Chaos disappears, where will we call home?" Gloria raised her eyes and looked at Jeffrey. This always majestic grandfather looked like an ordinary old man at this moment. His lonely look made her feel sad. People kind of pity him.
A glimmer of light lit up in Jeffrey's eyes, "Aren't you afraid?"
"I was a little scared when I was in Luodu last time, but now I'm not scared anymore." Gloria shook her head.
A smile appeared on Jeffrey's face and he glanced at the teapot: "The tea is very fragrant."
"It was given by a customer. He said it was picked from his own farm. I cooked it once and thought it tasted good, so I gave it to you to try." Gloria said with a smile.
Soon, the tea was ready.
Gloria poured a glass for Jeffrey and placed it in front of him.
"Tomorrow I will announce that you will become the head of the Morton family." Jeffrey looked at Gloria and said calmly and seriously.
