Chapter 121 This Husband Is Not Suitable, Let’s Do It
Inside a luxuriously decorated room on the "Glorious XIII" mechanical city.
The "Sunflower Chamber of Commerce" has now become the most important business partner of the five major families in Glory City. This time, Vice President Phoebe von Sebir came in person, and the five major families paid great attention to it.
Although the distinguished lady had to go out of the city to participate in the hunting operation in person because of the "national war conscription" in the city, the Winster family also personally sent the eldest son August to accompany her, giving her enough attention.
Phoebe had a sullen look on her face since she came back from the hunting camp.
Ryan refused her idea to redeem the gloves, which made the lady, who was well-connected in Omagh's upper circles, very angry.
If this "scandal" were to be reported back to Emperor Omar, their Lopez family would surely become a laughing stock among the upper aristocratic circles.
Haha, the eldest daughter of the noble Lopez family actually competed with a group of vulgar civilian fighters...
Not only did she compete, but she was also beaten and lost the coming-of-age gift given to her by Grand Duke Rubio!
They originally thought that they could spend money to redeem the gloves and the matter could be handled coldly, but they didn't expect that a low-level pariah would not give them, the "Sunflower Chamber of Commerce", any face at all.
… …
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
The door opened with a click, and the young man in black, Um, who was in the fighting arena before, walked in.
"Mother, you called me?"
"Um."
Phoebe put down the account book she was reading and asked, "How is your sister now?"
"I am currently breaking through to the Advanced level after taking the genetic potion. It seems to be going well."
Wum responded calmly.
Before he came, he had heard what the butler said before. After thinking about it, he said, "Mother, are you worried about the boxing gloves? Don't worry too much, August has already gone. You don't need to go there in person for such a matter. It's most appropriate to let the Winster family handle it..."
After a pause, he continued, "After all, this hunting base is their territory. Those people will definitely have their own ways..."
"I hope we can get it back smoothly...The young man named Ryan is unwilling to give in, so it won't be that easy to get it back."
When Phoebe said this, her brows furrowed again.
Her business intuition told her that something was wrong.
For the scavengers, forcibly taking possession of [Kanapu's Sacred Gloves] is a curse rather than a blessing.
Most wasteland hunters with a normal mind would consider the face of the five major families even if they did not give face to the "Sunflower Chamber of Commerce". Logically, they should never reject their proposal.
Unless you are fearless.
Moreover, the old man named "Tust" actually knew his own mother?
This made her even more confused.
With too many coincidences coming together, many things don’t seem as simple as they seem.
After a moment's silence, she asked again, "Um, have you found out the identities of those people?"
Wum said: "The man named Carl is a well-known mechanic in the City of Glory. He has a mechanic shop in the city and has been open for many years. The old man is his grandfather . He has not been seen much in recent years and not many people know him. I heard that he has a terminal illness and survives by relying on life potions..."
After a pause, he continued, "As for the doctor apprentice named Ryan, there is no accurate information yet. But what is certain is that they are not nobles recorded in the two empires. Even the larger families do not have these people."
Hearing this, Phoebe's frown still didn't relax.
This is very confusing.
Although his daughter's martial arts talent is not as good as her brother's, she is also a top-notch first-level fighter.
It is absolutely impossible for any ordinary scavenger with no resources and no background to defeat her.
"Check again!"
Thinking of this, Phoebe's eyes turned, revealing a hint of caution, and said: "Before we investigate the identity of Ryan, our Chamber of Commerce will try not to show up and make enemies. Let those people from the Winster family come forward..."
Wum nodded: "I understand, mother."
"Oh, there's one more thing."
At this time, Phoebe put on an unusually serious face and said, "A secret order has been sent from the Black Water Platform to eliminate some core members of the five major families. So, Wumu, find an opportunity and arrange for someone to kill August."
"Do you want to kill that guy?"
Wum frowned when she heard this: "But...he and Feiya..."
Their "Sunflower Chamber of Commerce" was originally an official chamber of commerce of Omar. During its operation, it was also responsible for collecting intelligence for the Omar military and handling some confidential matters.
He was not surprised by the secret order from "Heishuitai", but was surprised why this person wanted to be killed.
After thinking about it, he asked again: "Didn't father have a plan before to have Feiya and the Winster family marry?"
"I've met August, and he's unlikely to achieve anything great. Although he's the eldest son of the Winster family, his extraordinary talent is average. Not only does he not have a talent for magic, he also doesn't have enough courage and skill. Even if he becomes the patriarch in the future, he may not be able to gain real power."
When Phoebe said this, her expression was full of coldness and numbness. She did not look like the graceful and gentle young woman she appeared to be in front of outsiders.
In a word, the person was sentenced to death.
After a pause, she continued, "The five major families have many descendants, so we'll pick a suitable husband for Feiya later."
Marriages in the upper aristocratic circles have always been like this: without exchange of interests, there is no value.
Hearing this, Wumu's expression remained unchanged: "I understand, mother."
…
At night, the fog was thick.
Large bonfires were lit in the camp.
After hearing Bazel's warning, Ryan stayed in the camp and did not go out.
He also paid special attention to the blue-tailed eagles in the sky. Just as Basel said, their flight paths were indeed somewhat abnormal, and they seemed to be monitoring this "plague base."
Obviously, some savages discovered this camp.
Of course, the perception-oriented people in the camp also noticed this, but no one cared.
Today, the "Iron Boots Hunting Group" massacred an entire tribe of barbarians and hung their heads outside the Mechanical City. This was intended to provoke the remaining barbarians to come and seek revenge.
But Ryan knew that the fighting power of the Coleman clan was not only in the fighting power of the warriors themselves, their priests were good at driving magical beasts.
The higher the level of the priest, the wider the range he can drive and the higher the level of the beast tide.
What is most abundant near this "Plague Swamp" is various magical beasts and strange creatures.
During the past two months of hunting, high-level monsters have frequently appeared in the swamp, and the hunters have killed dozens of monsters above level three.
There are also many creatures that are not very strong individually, but are very deadly in groups.
Bazel is a werewolf, and he is most sensitive to the unusual movements of monsters.
The reason he issued the warning was that he felt the situation this time was a little different.
Some big creatures deep in the swamp seemed to be alarmed, and their breath became more and more manic.
The scale of this "beast tide" is probably a bit large.
…
Basel didn't wander around, but stayed near the tent of the "Soy Sauce Hunting Group".
These two days were also eventful times, and he had to be extra careful.
In the afternoon, the vice president of the Sunflower Chamber of Commerce showed off his superiority in the upper class. But he never expected that August, the eldest son of the Winster family, would show off again.
The guy started talking about "Lao Liangchen" and said, "Give me August a favor and take out the boxing gloves. I will forgive you for what happened..."
This guy doesn't even mention the money, it's blatant robbery.
Oh my god!
In my eyes, your face is really not worth a penny.
Your Winster family secretly used means to let the "Black Water Platform" capture my teacher Irubek. This matter has not been settled yet, so how can I give you face?
Then he was speechless after being lectured by Ryan on the "Regulations on the Management of the Hunting Base in Glory City".
In the end, the commotion was so loud that it attracted the base security team. The young master had no choice but to make some harsh remarks and leave in disgrace.
Ryan was not afraid of offending anyone, at least today he met Master Kavo, the pillar of the City of Glory, who was in excellent mental state and looked like he still had another ten or eight years to live.
As long as he is still here, the rules will still be here, and the five major families will not be able to cause any waves.
Besides, he already has a faction. After this hunting trip, he probably won't stay in the City of Glory anymore, but will join the Princess. It's very likely that he will follow the big boss in the future...
Am I still afraid of you, Mr. Winter?
He didn't think much about it.
…
Before I knew it, it was already late at night.
Bazel suddenly woke up Ryan and issued another warning: "The attack will be tonight!"
