Chapter 577: Impulsive
Horn gave Fording a strong hug, a sincere friendship from birth to death. The gray-haired man's body stiffened at first, then quickly softened. He hugged him back and said, "My lord is still as energetic as before." ”
"Of course, I can still beat you all over the ground to find your teeth."
Furding laughed and said, "Don't say it, I'm moved." ”
"Then let's play with each other sometime, you don't know. There are very few people who dare to do anything with me now, and my hands are very itchy. Horn shook his fist and said with a smile on his face.
There was a knock on the door, and Horn said "Come in". Anna, the blood scorpion, pushed the door in, and when she saw her former comrades, Anna stepped forward and hugged Ferdin. The two pressed their cheeks before letting go of their hands. Furding smiled brightly, "Hey, are you okay?" Belle. ”
"Is that how you pick up a conversation? I have to say, Fordin, you've been rotten this way since the beginning. Anna blinked and said, "I'm doing well, and my lord takes good care of me." Look, now I can take good care of my family as long as I do a little thing that is inconspicuous. ”
Horn shook his head and said, "Anna is not doing something trivial. Fordin, you've just come back, and you don't know a lot about it. Let Anna accompany you around these days, and learn about the current situation by the way. ”
Furding whistled and said, "I can't ask for it." ”
He lifted his trench coat again, patted his hand on the handle of the gun at his waist, and said, "Although I have just returned, I have heard that old Baker has done some stupid things. Master, do you want me to help you take care of him by the way? This brother of yours, I've been looking at him for a long time. ”
Horn looked at Anna, who said calmly: "I don't think this matter can be hidden from Ferdin, so I took it upon myself to sue Ferdin, if the lord wants to punish him, I am willing to accept it." ”
"Forget it, I'll have to let them know sooner or later anyway." Horn shook his head and said, "Baker and Main have teamed up and are going to deal with me. And I'm ready to understand that this kind of thing is really vicious. But first, we have no direct evidence, and second, because it is easy to kill him, it will shake the loyalty of the other elders to me. So I still stuck to what I told Anna before, actively collecting evidence and secretly taking over Baker's business. When he is ready, he will use the power of thunder to make sure that he does not have any power to fight back. ”
In this way, the turmoil within the family should be reduced to a minimum. I think it should be best to deal with it this way. ”
Furding shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course you have the final say, and besides, these brain-using jobs are not suitable for me, that is Baroque's strength." ”
"You're just too lazy to use your brain." Anna gave him a blank look, three secret samurai. Anna has a quick mind, Baroque has no last resort, and Fording is extremely powerful. He is not known for his strategy, but that doesn't mean he's stupid, it's just that he's more used to using strength to solve problems.
Ferdin's exaggerated bow to Anna said, "I knew it was another way of complimenting, so I decided to gladly accept it." ”
Anna shook her head and said, "Your face has grown a lot like your strength." ”
Furding snorted, looked at Horn and said, "I also heard that the master just recognized a young master, I really want to meet him soon." ”
"You mean Alan." Horn looked out the window and said, "It's coming, he should be there in these days." ”
Sure enough, Horn didn't make him wait too long, and two days later, Horn received the news of Allen's return. In the evening of the same day, a flying car stopped in the square of the castle, and Alan stood in front of Horn with the sunset: "Grandpa, I'm back." ”
"It's good to be back." Horn didn't give Alan a hug like he had done the other day, just reached out and patted him on the shoulder. However, the eyes that looked at Allen were full of strong emotion, but they were more than a qiē movement. Just one look allowed Alan to read the grandfather's heartfelt love for him.
He didn't speak, just shook Horn's hand hard.
"Well, then, go rest and freshen up, there's a banquet waiting for you in the evening." Horn smiled.
Alan was not a man of mud and water, and immediately led Lucy and Bethcord towards the wing tower where he lived. As for Adele, they were separated from the port as early as the port, and Regis was naturally taken away by his father Bell. The father and son had not seen each other for many days, and they had a lot to say. On the way to the Wing Tower, Alan suddenly felt a chill in the back of his head, and he quickly turned back. He looked in the direction of his senses, but saw only a lone spire, and he frowned.
"How?" Lucy gave him a strange look.
Alan smiled: "It should be an illusion, it seems that someone wanted to lock my breath just now." ”
"This is your Beth Kod's home base, no one will do that, right?"
"Who knows. Within the family, it is not necessarily all friends and relatives. ”
Watching Allen's figure disappear into the wing tower, Ferdin, who was leaning on the spire of the castle, whistled and said, "The little young master's sense is quite keen, but the source power is a little lower." It's only level nineteen, and when the lord is his age, it's more than that, right? ”
Anna was half-squatting next to her, and the strong wind on the tower blew her long coat hunting: "Rank does not represent a qiē, Young Master Allen has confirmed this truth with his many actions." ”
"Yo, Anna is quite optimistic about him." Furding exaggeratedly said, "Does this boy look like your dear son?" ”
"Nonsense!" Anna rolled her eyes before she said seriously, "You also know what kind of person the master is. That's right, when he first recognized Master Allen, he did do it out of debt to Miss Lanny. But in the later stage, the resources of Young Master Allen are tilted, if someone thinks that the master is just pure favoritism, then this person must be an idiot. The master will not do meaningless things, it is precisely because of the great potential of Young Master Allen and the child of Miss Lanny that the master loves it so much. ”
"Listen to what you mean, is the master planning to let him be his successor?" Fording was surprised.
"If the young master shows enough strength, I think the answer ...... Yes. ”
Furding nodded and said, "Then this interstellar battlefield is another test for our little young master." Hey, now even I can't help but want to see his face on the battlefield. ”
That night, a private banquet was going on in the castle of Ugal. The theme of the banquet is to wash the dust of the returning clansmen, and to wish them dazzling results in the upcoming interstellar battlefield. Since it was an in-house banquet, not too many people were invited. In addition to the clansmen within the Beskode family, only the Mossen family, which has a deep friendship with Beskode, sent people to attend.
Alan noticed that there were more outsiders at the banquet tonight than before. In addition to the Mosen family, there are several other families. The development of Bescord in recent years is obvious to the outside world. Winning the armament contract of the Sirius Legion and almost crippling the Alexandrian family, Bethcord's ranking in Babylon has continued to rise in the past few years, which has also made more small and medium-sized nobles choose to cling to this towering tree.
Alan is of course happy that his family can prosper day by day. But it would be better if there were fewer malicious glances. He looked towards the corner of the banquet, where a tall figure stood in the corner. Although they hadn't seen each other for three years, Alan still recognized it at a sight, and that person was Reina, who was hostile to him when he first returned to the family.
Naturally, Reina took off his armor tonight and changed into a decent black suit, but this outfit still couldn't hide the volcano in Reina's eyes. He looked at Allen's eyes as if there was a flame burning, but compared to the uncontrollable, spewing flames three years ago. Now Reina, the flame in his eyes is more restrained and a lot deeper.
"Alan, come over here."
Horn's call was heard, and Alan looked away, Horn was smiling and waving at him. There were a number of people standing next to him, who seemed to be going to introduce themselves to the rest of the family. Alan put down his glass and walked over generously. And behind it, the flames in that sight were even more intense.
Suddenly, Reina's vision was blocked by another figure. Roddy frowned and looked at his son: "What are you doing here?" Didn't I already say before I came back, don't bother Eren again. Anyway, he's also your brother. ”
"But I just don't like him!" Reina poured himself a glass of wine: "Father, look at him. When he returned, Grandpa's eyes fell on him at least half of the time! ”
Roddy laughed and stretched out his hand to flick his son's head: "It turns out that your kid is eating Allen's vinegar." ”
Reina's face turned red, gritted his teeth and said, "I don't, but I think he deserves so much attention from his grandfather!" ”
Roddy's thick arm was placed on Reina's shoulder, and Nunu said in Allen's direction, "Look clearly, son." Next to you is my dad and me, and you will come home, and your mother will babble and talk. But Alan, when he went back, he was only facing Lannie's old home. Son, the brother opposite you has lost his parents, and what kind of perseverance do you think he must have to live on the surface for five years? ”
"So you don't blame your grandpa for being so nice to him, that's what he deserves. After all, he has lost so much, and your grandfather is just trying to make up for the time he has lost. And you have to admit that this kid Alan has done a pretty good job so far. ”
Reina struggled to remove his father's hand and gritted his teeth to take a step forward. Roddy hurriedly reached out and pressed his shoulder: "Hey, kid." You don't want to do something impulsively, do you? ”
"Father, just let me be impulsive again. If I don't confirm something, I'm not reconciled! Reina took a sip of the wine from his glass, placed it on the table, and walked in the direction of Allen with a volcanic aura.
Luo Di sighed, shook his head and said, "Then whatever you want, don't come back to me crying for a while, stinky boy." ”
