The news of the Dole family being threatened soon spread throughout the city, and many people were watching the jokes of the Dole family, and of course, some people were very sympathetic to them.

Cleveland sat gloomily in his study, his eldest son standing next to him, full of resentment, "Father, let's fight that damn bastard." Not only did he want to snatch his mother, but he also wanted to take his little sister away, you know, my little sister is only eight years old, how could we let her fall into the hands of a disgusting pervert. ”

Most of the nobles like to play with their young daughters, but if their own young relatives are remembered, absolutely no one feels any joy, on the contrary, anger and resentment will be normal expressions.

"I want to fight too, but how do we fight?" Cleveland slapped the table with a heavy face, gritted his teeth and said, "The other party is a master-level powerhouse, and there are two." On top of that, the other party is still a lord, although he has not yet formed his own forces and has not established his own city. But to be able to cultivate such an excellent young man, the forces behind him must be terrifying, and it is extremely simple to destroy our Dole family. How do you ask me to fight, and what qualifications do we have? ”

Looking at his father's eyes that were red because of anger, the eldest son was silent, he was the eldest son, and he would inherit the Dole family in the future, he naturally knew what the consequences would be if an aristocratic family like them was not up to par with a real wealthy family.

"Do you really want to send your mother and sister away?" The eldest son shouted in great dissatisfaction: "We can give him the gold coins, but if we really send our mother and younger sister over, how will our Dole family gain a foothold in Haveah City in the future?" ”

For many families, interests are important, but sometimes, family reputation is also a kind of interest, a very important interest.

Although Cleveland's face was full of resentment, he wanted to laugh in his heart, he felt that his acting skills had reached the realm, and he even deceived his eldest son, and his family was convinced.

But in addition to being funny, Cleveland was full of coldness, someone actually secretly targeted his family, if it weren't for the magnanimity of the beta and not being deceived by schemes, otherwise they would be finished now.

Who the hell is it? Cleveland had thought about a lot of people, but he couldn't be sure, but he knew one thing very well, and now that the play was done, it would be very easy to tell who the enemy was if someone came to the door.

The head of the family was pondering, and the eldest son was about to leave, and he wanted to find some friends to see if anyone could help him in this matter.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw my mother and little sister walking in.

Seeing this, the eldest son hurriedly asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

The head of the family, Cleveland, was also a little strange, but when he saw his wife's resolute look the next moment, he secretly screamed that it was not good.

"Let Ruth and I meet the man." The middle-aged woman smiled faintly: "Two women, can exchange for the peace of the family, why don't you do it?" ”

A little girl of about eight years old, with long brown hair reaching to her waist, wearing a floral dress, and her face was full of timidity, but she still tightly pulled the corner of the middle-aged woman's clothes, and looked extremely cute.

Cleveland sighed, he almost forgot that his wife was not an easy character, and she even valued the survival of the family more than himself. For her, if necessary, a woman's flesh could be used entirely as a trade object, including herself.

It's just that some people have different opinions, and as soon as the eldest son heard this, he immediately stopped doing it, and he yelled: "Mother, this is our man's business, you women don't come to get involved." ”

It's no wonder that the eldest son is angry, whether it is emotionally or dignified, it is a very difficult thing to accept to give his mother and little sister to others, Cleveland sighed softly: "Don't worry, wait." I'll figure this out. ”

Cleveland is very helpless now, his acting skills are so good, everyone believes it, but it is also a troublesome thing.

"How do you fix it?" The middle-aged woman's face was dejected: "Two master-level professionals, coupled with unknown backgrounds and forces, not to mention our Dole family, even if the entire Havey Ah City unites, it may not be their opponents." Cleveland, you can let our mother and mother pass, anyway, it's just a woman, and after a while, you can marry a young and beautiful one. ”

Cleveland sighed depressedly, he already had plans to reveal the matter to his wife, but he thought about it, and endured it, and was thinking about how to make the lie pass, when he saw a guard come to report: "Master, the lord of the city is outside asking for a meeting." ”

"City Lord?"

Cleveland's brow furrowed slightly, but there was a look of surprise in his eyes. After a moment of silence, he turned to his family and said, "Don't worry, I'll figure it out, now you all go back to rest, I want to have a good talk with the city lord." ”

The middle-aged woman left with her little daughter, before leaving, she sighed long, worried, from the heart, she didn't want to be someone else's mistress, let alone her daughter at such a young age, to be ruined by others. But the reality is cruel, and if you don't do this, the Dole family will definitely not be able to escape this fate.

Seeing his mother and younger sister leave, the eldest son wanted to stay, but after thinking about it, he left with him, he planned to comfort his mother and sister.

Cleveland, on the other hand, was in his study, waiting for the city lord to visit.

According to Cleveland's experience, after Beta leaves and he lets go of the news that he was being bullied by Beta, the provocateur hiding behind the scenes will definitely jump out as soon as possible and find a way to unite himself to deal with Beta.

Before that, he had guessed the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes, and many nobles or families had gone around in his mind, but he had never considered that the city lord had anything to do with it. After all, the position of the city lord is just an empty city lord's mansion made by their nobles uniting together.

The city lord without any strength and background will be the mastermind behind the scenes? Or is the city lord just a pawn on the surface?

Cleveland felt that it was becoming more and more incomprehensible to him.

About five minutes later, Cleveland met the lord in his study.

"I heard that Your Excellency has been in some big trouble lately!"

As soon as the city lord entered the study, he sat down by himself, and then said such a sentence on his feet, whether it was from his demeanor, movements, or language, there was a high taste.

"Your Excellency, you're pretty well-informed." Cleveland replied lightly, "But you came to me, is there anything wrong?" ”

In Havey City, all the nobles with a bit of status will not have much respect for the city lord, after all, it is just a 'puppet' they hold up, who will have respect for a puppet, or fear of it?

The city lord Darren was lying on his back very casually, and facing another nobleman with this appearance was a very rude thing in itself, and Cleveland was already quite unhappy in his heart at this time.

But Darren didn't think there was anything strange about this, he sighed: "You Dole family, no matter how you say that you are also a part of our Havey City, you are actually bullied by an outsider like this, as the city lord, I can't stand it." ”

Cleveland laughed dryly, in fact, he had already faced the city lord in his heart at this time, but for the effect of 'acting', he still had the indifferent expression on his face that didn't care too much about the city lord: "Your Excellency has a heart, this matter is indeed a disaster for our Dole family, but I think it's better for Your Excellency not to get involved, so as not to get into trouble, after all, your strength ...... Hehe. ”

Cleveland smiled softly, although it sounded normal to be clear, but anyone with a little social experience could hear the contempt and disdain contained in it. Darren's face finally changed a little, he sat up straight, stared at the man opposite, and said lightly: "Your Excellency Dole, you don't look like you're going to ask for someone's attitude." ”

"Can you help me?"

On the surface, Cleveland still has that disdainful look, but in his heart there are already alarm bells. The serpents in the city knew that the lord was a puppet, but now he seemed to say that he was sure to deal with Beta...... Even the Dole family has to walk on their stomachs when they encounter such a strong man, what is the city lord, how can he have such a big breath?

Could it be that the mastermind behind the scenes is really the city lord?

Cleveland's acting skills are very good, and he pretends to have an expression that is still disdainful, but seems to be moved, which makes Darren see it and say proudly: "It's true that I'm not that Beta's opponent, but there is another noble strong man standing behind me, and he can deal with that guy." ”

Cleveland groaned for a moment, then he put away his disdain and asked solemnly, "Then what should we Dole do?" ”

"Cooperation!" Darren clapped his hands lightly and said, "Your strength, coupled with the power behind me, is not difficult to deal with two masters. It depends on whether you Dole family have the guts or not. ”

After Cleveland was silent for a long time, he looked at Darren and said slowly, "There is no problem with cooperation, but how can I be sure that you do have the strength to deal with two master-level powerhouses?" And, what do you get in this way? ”

"Later, you can come with me to meet my master." Darren said indifferently: "As for the benefits! The blonde-haired woman, I want it, whether it's dead or alive, and of course, it's better if it's alive. ”

"You're coming for women?" Cleveland looked at each other a little strangely.

Darren smiled evilly: "It doesn't matter if you think so, but I still want to remind you that if you can catch a living woman, you may be able to get great benefits from my master." ”

Cleveland narrowed his eyes slightly, then smiled, "I'm more and more eager to meet your master now." (To be continued.) )
