The next day, a strange-sounding rumor spread in the Red Capital.
It is said that the young master of the Surota family, who has awakened spiritual characteristics that have not been seen in a hundred years, has actually joined forces with the royal family!
This bombshell news exploded like a few drops of water in a boiling oil pan.
Maple Leaf County.
Bang!
The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground and breaking, loud scoldings, and the trembling sounds of everyone, all kinds of sounds came together, like a chorus, making the originally pure Maple Leaf Hall extremely lively.
"Absurd! Absolutely ridiculous! How dare he! How dare he do such a thing! Does he want to make me angry to death?"
The last sound, Dante Zulota roared out completely, which also startled the people around him. Several young people in gorgeous clothes quickly stepped forward to dissuade him.
Well, it was the brothers of Jess Zulota.
"Father, please calm down. This is just a rumor, and it may not be true. Do you want to verify it?"
"Yes, Father, even if this is really the case, I think Sixth Brother should have his own ideas. Maybe it would be good to cooperate with the royal family?"
Jess Zulota's youngest brother, Malouda Zulota, who is also twelve years old this year, defended his sixth brother.
"Shut up! Do you also want to follow in his footsteps? Do you know how many noble families I have received from this morning to now?"
"Fourteen families in total!"
"In addition to those seven families, there are seven other families who dare to question me. Do you know what this means?"
All the children did not dare to say anything. They could see that their father was obviously very angry.
However, what Dante said next gave them the illusion of reconciliation.
"Do these clowns think that my Sulota family will become the enemy of the entire aristocratic group because of such a piece of bad news that I don't know whether it is true or false?"
"snort!"
Dante snorted coldly and said something that none of his sons expected.
"I want to see how many enemies of my Sulota family can be attracted by just such a piece of news!"
"Since they dare to show up, I will kill them all!"
Everyone:...? ? ?
No, didn't they say that the sixth guy was going to be expelled from his family if he caused trouble?
Why did it suddenly become like this?
This is different from what was promised!
Can anyone tell me what exactly happened?
Is your father going to challenge the entire aristocratic group on his own?
Will you really not be wiped out if you do this?
Is it too late for me to quit now?
Looking at the men who were ordered to leave, the heirs of the Sulota family all had different ideas.
Seeing that the head of the family, their father, still had a straight face as if he wanted to get this thing done, he couldn't help but feel unsure.
They all said their goodbyes and left, not knowing what would happen next.
Looking at the leaving heirs, the housekeeper was the one who opened the door to Maple Leaf County in the first place.
He leaned closer to Dante and lowered his head.
"Master, is there anything wrong with what you do?"
"Huh? Then you should tell me, what's wrong?"
"I know what the master is thinking. This big ship of the Noble Group has already become dilapidated after hundreds of years of erosion. Instead of staying on the ship, it is better to find a new big ship as soon as possible."
Having said this, the housekeeper couldn't help but observe Dante's expression, and found that the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, looking very disapproving. He immediately understood what his master was thinking.
But it was definitely impossible for him to just talk about it, so he continued.
"In today's world, the Allied Forces are too powerful to offend, and the same goes for the royal family. Only this aristocratic group seems to be strong, but in fact only the people inside know that this loose alliance has already cleared the door for itself. As long as it does not When it comes to one's own interests, no one will even ask about it, even if it breaks the truth, but the young master's matter..."
The only person who can make the personal butler of the family head Dante call him "young master" is the sixth young master Jess Zulota who is qualified to inherit.
"Don't worry about that. I didn't know how to deal with this matter originally, but now it makes me worry less. If those nobles want to cause trouble for me, just let them go to the royal family!"
At this point, Dante had a smug smile on his face.
"I will publish it in the newspaper tomorrow to sever the relationship between father and son."
"The master is wise!"
The housekeeper seemed to have expected this. Instead of being shocked, he started to cheer him up in due time.
Obviously this tacit understanding between the two already existed.
"Haha, you go to the largest newspaper today and spread the word about this matter. The bigger the better, so that attention will not be focused on my family."
"But will the young master understand what you mean?"
Dante glanced at his butler.
"If he can't even see through this point of view, then there is no need for him to inherit this family. Since I have chosen him, I naturally have my reasons."
After a pause, Dante looked worried again.
"Of course, it's best not to be too smart, otherwise I'm afraid things will develop differently this time than I expected..."
"I don't know, please let me know for sure."
The housekeeper really didn't understand what this last sentence meant.
After hearing this, Dante did not answer, but fell into deep thought for a long time. During this period, he called several times but received no response, so the butler resigned.
In the end, Dante was left alone, sitting on the chair that symbolized the head of the family, thinking about something alone.
…
the other side.
"Oh? You said my family issued a notice to sever the father-son relationship with me? Hehe, this old guy is really smart!"
Li Yi couldn't help sighing, but Jean Ying was a little confused.
As early as not long ago, he knew that this "Chosen One" did not kill the three puppets through his own strength.
This was also confirmed by the oiran.
So Ying almost didn't stop at all. He just carried the oiran who passed out because his magic weapon was broken and put him at the door of his house, and then came to find Li Yi.
Li Yi had no intention of hiding the fact that he used the power of Prince Zhuge Qingming to kill the three puppets, and he knew very well that Ying was deliberately testing his behavior.
This clue can also be seen from the other party's unmoved expression.
This also shows that the other party does not seem to intend to pierce this layer of window paper.
Li Yi naturally knew that he could see through it but not tell it.
However, seeing the confused look on the other party's face, he still explained a little bit.
"Because these actions of mine will put the Sulota family into an unfavorable situation on both sides, the aristocratic group will come to hold them accountable. Although there is a high probability that it will not be of any use, it will allow my father to seize the opportunity to eliminate some There are internal spies and there are clearly some enemies within the group, but in the final analysis, even if it is just a loose alliance, there are still allies. He made this move just to give these allies some explanation and draw a clear line!"
Ying couldn't help but nodded when he heard the words, and looked at Li Yi's smiling face.
"You seem to have already thought of it? So you don't care about this situation? Even if he is your biological father?"
"oh?"
Li Yi was surprised when he heard this.
"I thought that you, a person who has lived for hundreds of years, should have seen through this so-called family affection, but I didn't expect that you still care about it! According to your idea, I should be full of disbelief or even cry. Is this a normal reaction?"
Shadow shook his head.
"Not really...I just think..."
"Think I'm a little too calm?"
"you could say so!"
"Humph, you have stayed in the nobility for so many years. Don't you know that for the nobility, the most important thing is not family ties, but the continuation and interests of the family?"
"A son can be born at any time, not to mention that besides me, Duke Dante also has a large number of heirs who can inherit his family business. At this time, how could she sacrifice so many people in the family to protect me because of me? What? Are you a little too naive? "
"..."
Seeing Ying lower his head, he seemed to understand that what Li Yi said was indeed true.
However, when he thought that the head of the family he had been with day and night could be this kind of person, it seemed too different from what he had imagined and he couldn't accept it. In the end, he could only deal with it in silence.
"Okay, let's not talk about this. These are small things you mentioned, and what comes next is the big thing!"
"event?"
Ying, who finally escaped from Li Yi's conclusion, reacted to this sentence.
"Yes, big deal!"
Seeing the confusion on the other party's face, Li Yi smiled.
"It's a big deal."
