Chapter 635: Duke of Wellington
After Chris left, Wesley took Ye Li and followed Eric into the mansion.
Eric didn't seem to know the purpose of Wesley's return, and asked, "Wesley, how did you do this time to find the clue to the Black-Eyed King's treasure?"
Wesley was a little strange, Evans didn't know what he was coming back for, and he didn't know what they were reporting now.
"Second grandfather, haven't you heard the general situation we reported to the family?
The family received our report, and after review, Uncle Mars and I were re-entered into the list of core members of the family, so I was summoned back, presumably to ask me about the specific clues to the treasure. ”
Hearing Wesley's answer, Evans shook his head and said, "I've only heard that you have found the clue to the Black-Eyed King's treasure, but I haven't learned anything about what happened.
I went out to run errands a few days ago, and I just returned to the family yesterday, so I don't know a lot of specific news. ”
As soon as he finished asking this sentence, Evans looked at a big house that was about to arrive, and said, "Well, I'll talk about it later, I'll go to your grandfather's place soon, he will definitely ask you about the specific situation, and when you explain it to him, I'll listen to it together." ”
After saying that, the three of them had already walked to the front of the big house.
Ye Li was looking at the Yakexi family's mansion all the way, and he could see a lot of traces of history from the surrounding buildings, which were at least hundreds of years old.
The Yakesi family is worthy of being one of the three major families of the Farrant Empire, and it does have a very long history.
Standing in front of the big house, the guards next to him immediately recognized Eric, hurriedly saluted, and let the door out.
Eric nodded casually and walked into the house with the two behind him.
Ye Li followed into the room, a burly old man, sitting at an obsidian table looking at something.
The furnishings in the house are very elegant, but most of them are made of obsidian, which is very heavy and strong, and even after hundreds of years, there is not much wear and tear, and it is still black and shiny.
After the old man at the desk put down the things in his hand, he raised his head, was stunned for a moment, and said, "Evans, why are you here, and you are still with Wesley." ”
Evans said, "I met Wesley at the door, so I brought him with me, I heard about the Black-Eyed King's treasure, you should be going to exchange about it." ”
The old man at the desk was naturally the Duke of Wellington Axie of the Yakexi family, and after hearing Evans's inquiry, he said: "Yes, that's right, Mars has been looking for many years, and finally found a clue to the treasure of the Black-Eyed King."
For this, the family gave him the reward he deserved, allowing him and Wesley to return to the core of the family, and now Wesley is back to explain the specific situation.
Mars himself is reluctant to come back, and is only willing to stay in his fiefdom and manage that one-third of an acre of land.
It is said that Mars's talent back then was still good, but his cultivation was lower, and he made the wrong choice. ”
Hearing his words, Evans' face turned gloomy, and he said, "Big brother, what do you mean by this, what is Mars making the wrong choice."
Mars went to rescue his brother where there was a mistake, and if he chose not to rescue in the first place, it would be the biggest mistake.
I can't forgive you for the years that you and the Elders had no thought of the family bond and kicked Mars and Wesley out of the house. ”
Wellington didn't seem to care about Evans' words, just looked at him coldly, and said, "No matter how many years from now, I will tell you that I am not wrong."
They are all children of the family, since they are core members, they naturally take the glory of the family as their own responsibility, how can they put their personal feelings in front.
Carl was arrogant and reckless, and it was his own choice.
Mars sent his troops out knowing that he was in a situation where he could not be saved, and was half-crippled by the other party's design, which was definitely not stupid, but regardless of the overall situation.
Mars is indeed a talent, everything can be handled properly, the only thing is this, it is the failure of his life.
As the patriarch of the family, it is impossible for me to accept this result no matter what, just expelling the two of them from the family core back then is already a net open, otherwise they should be expelled directly from the family. ”
Hearing Wellington's words, Evans' face showed an angry look, and this time even Wesley was a little angry.
"Big brother, in your eyes, the feelings of the family are not as good as the victory or defeat of a battle!?"
Evans asked.
Wellington still looked expressionless, and he was not angry, and said: "I only know that the interests of the family are above everything else, and if the victory or defeat of the battle affects the interests of the family, then it is higher than family affection." ”
Hearing Wellington's words, Evans' lungs were about to explode, and he was about to roar when Wellington interrupted: "Okay Evans, did you come to quarrel with me today, we have been arguing for so many years, and we don't seem to have come to any useful conclusions."
I don't want to quarrel with you, I still have business to do, and I want to hear Wesley's report on finding the clues to the Black-Eyed King's treasure this time. ”
After saying that, he didn't look at Evans, but looked at Wesley next to him.
Wesley was a little angry just now, but when he saw Wellington's eyes, he suddenly softened.
The Duke of Wellington has always been known for his iron-blooded selflessness, and he is known as the iron-blooded Grand Duke in the Flangelic Empire, and there is no selfishness in his eyes.
He is even selfless to the point of not marrying and not having offspring, and in his opinion, if he has a spouse and children, his mood will definitely be affected, and he will not be able to be ruthless.
In his heart, almost all private matters can be abandoned, and everything can be put in the interests of the family.
To some extent, this person is a madman, but because of his iron-blooded methods, the Yakexi family has become the most powerful family in the empire over the years, beating the other two families of the same name.
Wesley has been afraid of his grandfather since he was a child, in fact, it is not only he who is afraid, but there are no children in the family who are not afraid of Wellington.
When they were young, they even made up stories about Wellington eating all the disobedient children in the family, so you can imagine what kind of character the Duke of Wellington was in their eyes.
Now when Wesley was stared at by the Duke of Wellington's cold and merciless gaze, he suddenly felt a little short of breath, and the distractions in his mind disappeared, and he couldn't think of anything other than what he wanted to explain to the other party.
