Every family that can enter the top class of society has passed the test of time. These families can be traced back at least 100 years, while old aristocrats like Bescord have a glorious history of more than 200 years. These old aristocrats were the mainstays of the Federation, and often, such families were behemoths.

In their genealogy, the relationship is complicated, just like those flourishing ancient trees, whose roots must spread many meters underground. Bescord is no exception and, like many families, usually divides a large number of family members into lineal and collateral lines.

In order to ensure the prosperity of the family, the position of patriarch is usually only produced among direct blood relatives. Of course, in some turbulent times, there were also examples of side tribes seizing the position of patriarch. But that is a very small number after all, and even if the throne is successful, that family will definitely be greatly damaged. After all, most of the family's strength and wealth are in the hands of direct blood relatives.

Just like a bee colony, in a large family system, there is also a division of labor between the direct line and the collateral branches. After the Battle of Daybreak, this division of labor became even more pronounced. Generally speaking, the family business, some of the relatively modest work will be handed over to the side branch clan to take care of. They will be responsible for most of the family's business dealings, like the worker bees in a colony, constantly accumulating wealth for the family.

Direct blood relatives must shoulder the obligation to develop the family business and go on expeditions to foreign battlefields. They have to build more colonies for their family, and establish a safe and stable trade route between these colonized planets and Earth, so that the family can profit from them. To put it simply, the obligation of the collateral clan is to be responsible for the operation of the family's business, while the direct blood relatives have to find more sources of wealth for the family.

In this mode, in fact, the probability of a direct blood relative falling is much greater. However, every direct descendant who can gain a firm foothold in the foreign battlefield is the hero of one side, and his position in the family system is difficult to shake. Because in the final analysis, their exploits are all played, and they are real powerhouses!

Vincent's family is a side of Bethcord's family, which manages the operation of more than two commercial chains on the surface. In order to stand out from the other side clans, Vincent's father did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to send his son to the Dawnblade Academy in Babylon, which was exclusively for the children of the family. Vincent also lived up to his father's expectations and excelled in the academy.

The evaluation of the younger generation of children comes from many aspects, among which the results of the Dawn Blade Academy are one of the important assessments. If Vincent can graduate smoothly, then a position of foreign director should not be able to run. Although it is completely incomparable to the direct family in terms of resources to obtain family funding, the foreign affairs director is also a hot position in the side branches.

Being able to achieve such an achievement, in addition to the arrogance and arrogance shared by the children of the family, does not prevent Vincent from also having a clever and flexible mind. So after listening to Kodoff's words, he was immediately touched. He frowned and said, "You mean, Horn Patriarch plans to train this kid named Allen to be someone in an important position?" How is this possible, he is just a pariah! ”

"Have you seen Alan?" Kodoff asked suddenly.

Vincent smiled contemptuously: "How can I have time to care about what a pariah looks like?" ”

"As far as I know, he looks a little like one of my aunts." "I heard from my father that my grandfather loved one of their youngest sisters, Aunt Lannie," said Kodoff slowly. Ten years ago, Aunt Lanny suddenly ran away from the family, and she has not been heard from since, and her grandfather regretted it bitterly. ”

At this point, Khedoff kept his mouth shut, he had given enough hints.

Sure enough, Vincent lost his voice and said: "So when he saw that Allen's appearance, the patriarch was touched by the scene, and he planned to lure him into the family to make up for the loss of his daughter?" ”

"Do you think it's impossible? Even if that Alan is not our direct descendant, with his face, who can guarantee that Grandpa will not raise him to be the first of the children of the side branch? Cordov patted Vinson on the shoulder and said, "I see that you have worked hard in the past two years, and it would be a pity if you fell into the position of foreign director just because of someone's face." ”

Vincent nodded vigorously, and even showed a hint of hideousness on his face: "Thank you for the reminder, Cousin Kodof's support, I won't forget it." ”

"It's nothing, I'll just say a few words. Well, I'm going to go somewhere else, and these two beauties can't handle it. Kodorf laughed, stood up, and with a gesture of his hand, walked out of the booth with the two hot girls in his arms.

Vincent sat in the booth for a moment before he stepped out. The other companions invited him to drink, but he shook his head, and left in a hurry, leaving a few boys staring at each other. In the end, I don't know who shouted: "Vincent is gone, who will pay tonight?" ”

So the teenagers began to struggle with new problems.

Watching Vincent bow his head into his seat and quickly leave the twilight, Kodoff smiled. He was also sitting in an elongated magic speeder, with two sexy women kissing him on the cheek and ear chakra. As if he didn't feel it, an old man in his fifties, with a beard and sharp eyes, sat opposite him and said, "Young master, just test that Allen's words, just leave it to me, why bother letting Vincent do it." ”

"Mr. Robert, you should know that he is the one who grandpa came forward to invite. This shows that no matter what the reason, grandpa attaches great importance to this little ghost. So it's better not to have anything to do with us than to do a thankless task like this, and let Vincent do it for you. Cordoff finally reacted, reached into the chest of one of the women, clasped the plump semicircle and smiled: "We just need to watch the play, there is no need to get into trouble, do you?" ”

And he said, "Let's drive, these two little female cats can't wait." ”

The two women giggled, one of whom was already gasping slightly and crouched at Kodoff's feet and began a fierce attack. The old man's eyes were cold, as if he hadn't seen the fierce peach-colored picture in the car.

When Alan woke up, he found that it was already early in the morning. His face was sticky, and he wiped it with sweat, but these sweats were filled with a strong smell of alcohol. Looking around, Tonisf and the other soldiers who had been partying last night were still asleep. They occupied the tables and sofas, and some even fell asleep on the ground holding wine bottles.

Thinking of the war song they sang last night, looking at these outspoken soldiers, Alan suddenly felt that not all of Babylon were wearing false masks.

"This is a troublesome guy."

There was a sound coming from the direction of the bar, where a few small lights were on, illuminating only one end of the bar. Under the lights, a burly, but well-dressed old man was wiping down the bar. He lowered his head and said, "But I like them, and when I see these bastards, I think of myself when I was younger." Sorry for listening to a bunch of old grumbles. My name is Yuki, and I've known that old Hughton for a long time. Heard he mentored you? ”

"Yes, thanks to Mr. Hughton's guidance, I am afraid that I would not be able to stand here." Alan stood up and said, and said with some frustration: "He also said that if he was interested in learning the design of the Rubik's Cube sequence from him in the future, but I didn't see him after the competition." ”

"He came last night, just as you were asleep. In fact......" Yuki pulled a note out of his pocket: "Here's the address he gave you, so you can go to him when you want to learn that bullshit." Oh, and he said you had to bring some good wine with you when you went, or he wouldn't open the door, you damn old drunkard! ”

Alan took the note from Yuki's hand, and it was indeed a line of addresses, he looked at the old man and said sincerely, "Thank you, Mr. Yuki." ”

"You're welcome, just remember to come and cheer when you have time." Yuki looked out the door and muttered, "It should be almost." ”

"What is almost?"

"The person who came to pick you up should be almost there." Yuki put down a shiny glass: "There's nothing in Babylon that Bethcord doesn't know. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the bar was pushed open, and the housekeeper Helin walked in, looked at Alan and said, "Little master, please come with me, the master asked me to pick you up." ”

"But I ......"

"It's okay, I've already packed up your things for you, so you don't have to go back to the training center." Helsing said carefully.

Alan spread his hands and said, "Okay then." ”

Then he said to Yuki: "Please say goodbye to Tonisv for me, and I will go to him when I have time." ”

"By all means."

Alan and Helsing walked out of the bar, and a speeding car with the Beth Cote family crest was parked on the street in front of the bar's entrance. The family's coat of arms is dominated by a shield depicted with a griffin's motif and a symmetrical sword pattern extending around it. The colors are mainly black and yellow, which are very eye-catching.

This badge is the emblem of the Beskod patriarch, and the coats of arms of other clans are extended and varied from this base, but there are some things that are not allowed to be used. For example, the Griffin, and the longsword can only be used by the Patriarch.

When Allen's name is included in the heir sequence, he also has his own coat of arms, which is a status symbol and a calling card for the nobility to socialize. Of course, for Allen at this time, he still had nothing left in Beth Kerry.

Riding in the Magic Energy Flying Car, Alan watched as the car drove away from Golden Wing Avenue and headed east. Gradually, the buildings on both sides of the road began to disappear and were replaced by rolling mountains and lush green trees. The sun was rising in the east, and the brilliant sunlight was like a gift from God, bathing the whole of Babylon in a golden light.

A new day has arrived, and Alan will usher in one of the most important turning points in his life.
