After the end of the world war, the reconstruction of Europe was about to begin, and it was at this time that the Duke of Capler, who lived in Bordeaux for the time, suddenly discovered that his son, the sole heir to the fourteenth Duke of Capler, had not only lost the family's assets in Paris, but also owed a foreign debt of nearly 6 million francs.

Much to the detriment of the Duke of Kapler, the 6 million francs of foreign debt was settled in rand, which was roughly equivalent to 240,000 rand at the exchange rate of 1913, due to the sharp depreciation of the franc during the world war.

The Capler family is one of the oldest families in France, although France has now overthrown the imperial system, but the Capler family is still respected in France, the current Duke of Capler is old, has been living in Bordeaux far from Paris, but the son of the Duke of Capler is not willing to be lonely, has been living in the capital Paris, Duke Capler has always thought that his son is very good, I didn't expect such a scandal now.

This should be an illusion, the children are all good at home, and the wives are all -

"—I don't know why this happened, I swear, I didn't mean to, I thought it was just entertainment between friends, but I didn't expect to sink deeper and deeper into it—" The son of the Duke of Capler, kneeling in the family chapel, confessed that he had lost about 35 million francs in just two years.

"As for old Henry, I really didn't kill him, his death was a complete accident, as evidenced by the autopsy report of the Paris police—" The Duke of Capler's son wept bitterly, and he now knew that regret was probably just a show.

But whether it's regret or performance, the creditor will come to the door in an hour, and if the Duke of Kapler can't pay off his son with R240,000, then the creditor will take the Kapler family to court, and at that time, the millennium glory of the Kapler family will be ruined.

An ancient family like Duke Capler, the status of family glory is above all else, and if you lose your wealth and lose your family glory, then the Capler family will become the laughing stock of France, and the family members can only immigrate to the United States like those who are in ruins.

Now perhaps emigration to southern Africa is a better option.

Old Henry is the old butler of Duke Capler, Duke Capler put his son in Paris, it is impossible to let go completely, without the slightest restriction, and Old Henry is the safety rope that Duke Capler puts next to his son.

But the elder Henry died in an accident the year before last, and the elder Henry's son Henry Jr. became the new butler of the Kapler family, and the younger Henry had no ability to restrain the son of Duke Kapler, so this tragedy happened.

"Who scammed you out of your money?" Duke Capler opened his mouth to determine that it was not easy to take away the wealth of the Capler family, although Duke Capler lived in seclusion in Bordeaux, but maintained close relations with many French dignitaries, and now Duke Capler was full of anger in his heart, and he wanted to know who was so bold and dared to hit the head of the Capler family.

"Lance, Dickie, Phoebe, and Jeffrey, Jeffrey is British, working for a big businessman in southern Africa—" The little duke honestly confessed that this was not an ordinary fraud, but a gang crime.

"What's that merchant's name?" When Duke Kapler heard "Southern Africa", he subconsciously clenched the crutches in his hand, but he still retained a glimmer of hope.

Soon, that glimmer of hope vanished without a trace: "It seems to be Christian, a construction merchant-"

A builder?

Duke Kapler burst out, picked up his crutches and beat him, and scolded bitterly: "A construction merchant's subordinates dare to play tricks on you? You dare to gamble with people without even figuring out what they do? How did I give birth to you mindless thing? I should have taken you-"

The ellipsis represents words that cannot be described.

The little duke didn't know who Christian was, but the old duke still knew it very well.

Christian is really not just a construction businessman, he is a construction businessman with 100,000 construction workers under his command, and he doesn't need other identity support, just 100,000 construction workers are enough to make people pay attention to Christian.

What's more, as long as Christian is mentioned, it is impossible to avoid the person who stands behind Christian, everyone knows that Christian was an insignificant Boer ten years ago, and it was under someone's protection that Christian became the premier big businessman, not only in southern Africa, but even in France, Christian is also the leading big businessman.

The Capler family is strong enough in France, but it is still dwarfed by the Christian company, not to mention the forces behind Christian.

"Is it the Christian from Christian?" Steve, the nephew of Duke Kapler, is the chief of the Bordeaux police, and the hundred-legged worm is dead but not stiff, talking about an ancient family like Duke Kapler.

"It seems to be—" Duke Capler was busy educating his son, although it seemed a little late, and it was Jonathan, Duke Capler's niece-in-law, who answered Dominic, a member of the Bordeaux City Council, and a shareholder of several business companies.

During the World War, Jonathan's company and Christian had frequent contacts and had some knowledge of Christian's strength.

But that's just a glimpse of what Jonathan's companies are all Bordeaux in, Christian's operations are all over France, and Bordeaux's Christian is only a medium-sized subsidiary.

Even if it is a branch, the size and capacity are enough to cooperate with Jonathan's company.

"Very powerful?" Steve jumped to the test as the police chief of the city of Bordeaux, and many times, especially during the World Wars, the police chief was the king of the city.

"Very powerful, Christian is not just a builder, he is also a slave trader, an arms dealer, there are dozens of enterprises under his name, so to speak, if Mr. Christian wants to meet the mayor of Paris, he can do it with a phone call." Jonathan's brows were furrowed, and he was subconsciously picking his fingers, which was a sign of extreme nervousness.

"That's in Paris, it's Bordeaux!" Steve was domineering and looked like he wanted to wrestle with Christian.

"Don't underestimate this Christian—" Duke Kapler finally put down his crutches out of breath, he was too old to keep up: "-Christian is not terrible, what is terrible is the person behind Christian, Christian has always claimed to be the servant of the Earl of Nyasaland-"

"It's just an earl—" Jonathan blurted out, there was nothing to be afraid of an earl, Duke Kapler was still a duke.

But after just a few words, Jonathan immediately shut up.

Although the earl is not as good as the duke in terms of rank, the earl of Nyasaland is really different from the average earl.

Jonathan doesn't know Christian, but he understands that Renard Capet, who has become famous in France in recent years, the Capet, which has been in decline, has turned over in just a few years because of his association with the Earl of Nyasaland, and in France now, the Capet's prestige is higher than ever before, and it is said that some congressmen have proposed that Renard Capet have run for the next president of France, but Renard Capet's refusal.

It's not that Renard Capet is not qualified to run for president, it's that Renard Capet's own reluctance.

The shadow of the famous tree, when mentioning Christian, Steve was still eager to try, and now when it comes to the Earl of Nyasaland, Steve and Jonathan were silent for a while, Duke Kapler also calmed down, the chapel could be heard for a while, and the little duke who was curled up on the ground did not dare to breathe.

"Gentlemen, there's a man named Jeffrey outside—" The butler broke the silence of the chapel.

Duke Kapler trembled and stood up, no matter what, the Kapler family had to face reality.

Just by name, Duke Kapler would have thought Jeffrey was a nasty little thug.

What Duke Kapler didn't expect was that Jeffrey was well-dressed and personable, and at first glance he was a decent person with a good education.

After a few casual conversations, I learned that Jeffrey was really from a British aristocratic family, but because of his family's downfall, he worked for Christian's company.

"Since you're also a gentleman, why would you do such a thing?" Duke Kapler really can't figure it out, the European aristocracy is actually in the same vein, the so-called origin is born from the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other-

Duke Kapler certainly didn't know this poem, but the mood was probably similar, art knows no borders-

Jeffrey smiled and didn't speak, and there was really nothing to say about it.

"If you think you're going to get the job done, you're wrong, this is Bordeaux, not your England." Jonathan mustered up the courage to say when it was time to speak, and he had to hold a personal game if he didn't have money.

"Calm down, Director Jonathan, I'm not here to collect debts, I'm here to visit Mr. Boonian—" Jeffrey is serious, Bunien is the Little Duke, because France has overthrown the monarchy, so when it comes to the Little Duke, you only need to use "Sir", and you don't need to honor Your Excellency So-and-so like the United Kingdom.

Jonathan is sure that he has not met Jeffrey before, and he is not wearing a uniform today, but Jeffrey still reveals Jonathan's identity, which shows that Jeffrey has done his homework before.

People know you're the chief of police, but they don't care!

This reality is indeed very powerless.

"Honestly, what do you want to do?" Duke Kapler faced the reality, the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, that is because the dragon is not strong enough.

"The Capler family has been around for thousands of years, and I heard that the Capler family has the largest collection in the world, more than the collection in the Louvre, I don't know if it's true-" Jeffrey was still smiling, and Duke Kapler easily read the word cold from Jeffrey's smile.
