When Gu Hanhan and Rosie returned to the guest room of the residence, they happened to meet the Navia family's servants and doctors pushing an old man away in a wheelchair with a skull-like eye socket and deep hollows in his cheeks. [Full text reading] Gu Hanhan was startled by the old man's zombie mummy-like posture. His heart was pounding and he quickly stepped aside. After the servants pushed him into the elevator and returned to the room, he asked with lingering fear: " Who was that just now?”
Anthony was sitting on the sofa with his feet up and reading today's newspaper. He replied without raising his head, "Currently we are still the owner of this manor, the chairman of the Navia Consortium."
"It turns out that he is the father of the IOU, but why now? I've never heard that my father has a time-sharing arrangement."
"It's the Navia family," Anthony corrected casually, "He's going to die, so both the family and the consortium will soon change their owners."
"Well, it looks like the illness is quite scary - why did he come to see you, why is he so sick?"
"I should be here to inquire about those assassins." Anthony replied casually, "If it is confirmed that not all people are dead, and Mars really has some evidence in his hands, and will clean up the nobles in Dongdan, then tonight's He plans to go to the dinner by himself."
"What a great father's love. He went to die himself and left the chance of life to his family." Gu Hanhan sighed with emotion, and then asked, "Then did you tell him the truth?"
"I guess I don't have to lie to a dead man."
"Well, you are really good at pretending to be compassionate. If you are really compassionate, you will refuse to go to people who ask to see you many times. You have to wait for the old man who is almost out of breath to come to see you. Why do I feel that today Are you a little absent-minded, Anthony?" Gu Hanhan sat next to him and grabbed the newspaper in his hand, "What are you reading?"
After discovering that the entertainment section was full of gossipy news about celebrities and ladies, Gu Hanhan was desperate. He threw the newspaper and shouted: "Oh my God, Anthony, you actually like to read these. You must know that this kind of low-style paparazzi body, but even My sister doesn’t even bother to see it.”
Anthony patted Gu Hanhan on the head: "Don't look down on the entertainment version so much. From this we can at least see who plans to completely surrender to Maximilian, and who Maximilian plans to choose."
"Is there any?" Gu Hanhan looked at Anthony doubtfully.
Anthony smiled slightly, pulled the newspaper, and circled a young man with wheat-colored hair, wearing a black tuxedo, and a melancholy expression like a pianist with his fingers, and a beautiful lady on his arm. Next to the man's three-dimensional projection, it is noted that his name is Douglas Valentina Anfen, the young owner of the East Dan Anfen family.
Gu Hanhan immediately slid off the ring. Du Niang's search results showed that the Anfen family is one of the more powerful among the more than 20 energy consortiums in Dongdan. This family has been around since the first day when humans set foot in the Dongdan star field. It has already appeared here and can be said to be one of the oldest energy families in Dongdan. This family reached its heyday four hundred years ago. At that time, about 50% of the lanthanum crystal minerals in Dongdan were directly or indirectly controlled by this family. But its glory did not last long, and it gradually declined in less than a century. The upgrading of production lines is always the last step, contracts are always snatched away by rising stars, and there are extraordinarily many places to spend money. The rich mines were mortgaged and sold one after another, and the 50% monopoly mining rate gradually declined, returning to less than 8% - the share that their family's ancestors had just in the prosperous era of this star field. Now, the Anfen family's status as the hegemon of Dongdan has long been overthrown by wind and rain, and has been replaced by the seven sisters of Dongdan, including the Navia family. They are just an old man who relies on the shadow of his ancestors to survive, is unknown, drifts with the crowd, and is marginalized. Just a long-decayed family. Except for family members and female celebrities who occasionally make headlines on the entertainment page of scandal shows, the people of Dongdan can barely remember this family.
"Just him? Why would the handsome Marshal fall in love with him?" Gu Hanhan asked in disbelief, "Shouldn't shameless lackeys, evil minions and the like look for people who look cruel and have a sinister face that can scare people? Just look at that Anfen, from side to side, he looks like a neurotic weakling who has been drained of his bones by a vixen."
"Want to bet?" Anthony looked at Gu Hanhan with interest.
"No!" Gu Hanhan rolled his eyes and flatly refused. Then he lay down on the sofa with Anthony's legs and asked, "Do you think the handsome marshal will show up at tonight's banquet? Uncle Rossi had changed clothes early to get ready. He looked very nervous. Do you think we should sneak in and watch the fun?"
"Are you planning to look at Maximilian's face?" Anthony said seriously, "Then I advise you to forget it. Any woman who stares at Maximilian's face for more than five seconds will All may have the honor of being executed by the order of the earth goddess Gaia herself.”
"So cruel?! Finally, I see someone who is even more awesome and unreasonable than my sister." Gu Hanhan flinched on the spot, "Then we'd better not go. Just squat in the house and wait for Uncle Rosie to come back and broadcast it to us."
"Why do you always like to call Uncle Rosie?" Anthony asked suddenly.
"This way, when you are treating him, you won't be tempted to fall in love with him. Uncle Rosie is such a gentle and gentle man... Then what, Anthony, do you really not mind if I help Uncle Rosie heal him? "Gu Hanhan answered the questions with some guilt, and took the opportunity to quietly look at Anthony's face, hoping to find some clues from the changes in his expression.
However, Anthony's expression did not change at all. He just combed her long hair with his fingers as usual, played with the ends of her hair, and replied casually: "You think it's not bad..."
I've had a xx, how can I be so unprincipled and stand-alone, insisting that being self-centered is the right way to live, you idiot!
Therefore, the five good girls from Earth, who were unwilling and embarrassed to express their feelings, started to talk to each other with a subtle mentality of "let me give you a demonstration" -
"Speaking of which, Gaia is so stingy. She would risk her life after just five seconds of looking at her. I would definitely be more upright and upright than her. What I mean is that hypothetically, if one day the God of the Universe has a seizure in his system, he will open the back door for me and become a goddess for two days. If you have a good time, if anyone stares at you and becomes a nymphomaniac, the most you can do is treat her to a meal. When you're done, put more salt in the soup and put a mouse on the plate - well, bring a pound of salt first, and catch a live mouse..."
"..." Anthony was silent, thinking: You should follow Gaia's example and risk your life. At best, it can be regarded as indiscriminate killing, but what you call cruel killing.
…
The dinner at Shaxing City Hall was held at eight o'clock in the evening. Rossi and Navia went together and set off from the manor an hour in advance. At the same time, a small family dinner was also held inside the Navia Manor. The old lady of the Navia family came forward to invite all members of the family to participate, and also invited Anthony and Gu Hanhan.
Although it was said to be a small family dinner, there were actually quite a lot of people. All the relatives of the Navia family in Sand Star were present, and there were hundreds of people. There are also more than two dozen board members of the consortium. Of course, the board members themselves are also relatives and core members of the family. While Gu Hanhan was eating this kind of fresh foie gras native to the earth, which was quite precious during the war, he admired the well-dressed gentlemen and ladies of the Navia family who used their noble and reserved conversations to cover up their inner panic and anxiety.
"They are waiting for Anderson's father to pass away," Wahid secretly told Gu Hanhan. "The lawyer will read the will after that and determine the next chairman of the consortium. Of course, the will does not determine everything. Although Anderson is theoretically The first heir, but who will eventually become the next owner of the Nawea family requires many aspects of weighing."
Wahid pointed to a few people and told Gu Hanhan: "They all have a very high inheritance line, and Anderson's cousin Gottlieb, he is not here today. In the current special situation of Sand Star, no Being present is an advantage. If you and Mr. Anthony can generously lend a helping hand, Anderson's chances of winning will be greatly increased."
"It makes more sense to make sure that handsome Marshal Maximilian doesn't intend to deal with you first." Gu Hanhan thought so and held back his words.
At half past eleven, the dinner was far from over when Navia came back early. He returned from the banquet hall of the city hall to the large living room of his home and staggered in from the doorstep. He was in a daze, his eyes were horrified, and the head of his head covered with hair wax was rubbed into a mess. The bright light from the large crystal chandelier in the living room shone on his face, making him look particularly pale and desperate. Everyone stopped talking and turned to look at Navia. Their throats were trembling, but they couldn't say a word. The hall instantly fell into a strange and creepy silence and fear.
"What happened? Is Maximilian planning to kill his family or rob his family of their money?" Gu Hanhan asked Rossi in a low voice, who had accompanied Navia back.
"That's not the case," Rossi glanced at Anthony, lowered his head and replied softly, "Master Maximilian personally came to today's dinner and held a formal foot-kissing ceremony, accepting the Anfen family of Dongdan as a His vassal families allow them to be his attendants. This means that the Anfen family will become the spokesperson for his interests in East Dan."
"Anfenglas Valentina Anfen, a guy who looks like he's suffering from depression and a little neurotic?" Gu Hanhan asked in disbelief.
Rossi thought for a while and realized that the description of depression and neurosis was very fitting for the face he saw today, so he nodded, "That's him. Do you already know?"
Gu Hanhan turned around and went to see Anthony. Even if he didn't want to admire and worship him, he said to himself: Handsome man, whether you are engaged in the sex/industry or being a superpower expert, you are too weak. The most suitable job for you is the xx god on the street. Gua!
