Chapter 240 My Stupid Oudou

Alexis.

The luxurious carriage slowly drove into the Kadir family, and finally stopped at the entrance of the mansion. A servant quickly lay down on the ground next to the carriage, waiting for the master to get off. However, after waiting for a long time, no one got off the car. The servant came out because of fear. After breaking out in a cold sweat and having a full cup of tea, Frank got out of the carriage, with a smile on his face that made it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

The servant on the ground just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Frank who walked in the door casually say: "Get rid of it, it's dirty and sticky, and it made my boots dirty."

"No, don't--"

The voice of the unfortunate servant quickly faded away, and Frank returned to the incense-filled study. After sitting on the chair, he took a long breath...

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Crack!"

"Ding!"

A chaotic sound came from the study. The maid who brought tea looked frightened and stopped at the door, shaking her head and retreating.

However, under the gloomy gazes of Moulton and Charles at the door, the maid had no choice but to walk into the study.

"ah--"

Soon, the maid's frightened screams came from the study.

"come in."

Molton and Charles looked at each other. The two of them opened the door and walked in with the clothes they had prepared. They ignored the messy debris and debris on the ground. Their eyes stayed on the figure in front of them for a moment, and then immediately lowered their eyes. Headed.

It was clearly daytime, but in the very dark study room, the maid who had just come in had disappeared, leaving only some fragments of clothing, pools of blood and wet mucus on the floor, and Frank, who should have been rickety and old, was now exposed, strong and strong. There was a strange black light swimming on his huge body, and he looked much stronger than Aubrey.

Moulton and Charles were both excited when they thought about what they had just seen their father look like.

Is this the power the Qadir family has access to?

They can finally have their own power! ?

Frank slowly exhaled black breath, and his strong body began to shrink again. He took the new clothes from Moulton and Charles, put them on, sat on the chair again, held his chin and remained silent.

"Father..."

Moulton couldn't help but ask: "When will we get power like you?"

"A power like mine?"

Frank, who was smiling, raised his head: "Do you think that force just now was very powerful?"

"Is not it?"

"of course not."

Frank shook his head: "Charles, Moulton, my children, you have to believe in yourselves. You are my sons, better than me, and the power you gain will be stronger than me... And this time, soon It’s coming.”

Brothers Charles and Moulton were overjoyed when they heard this, their eyes filled with unconcealable longing.

Frank lay back, and after a moment of silence, he said, "You know, Victor and the others are making some noise."

Molton was stunned for a moment: "What's going on?"

Charles was startled and his face changed drastically: "The royal family is going to take action!?"

Frank glanced at Moulton calmly, feeling very disappointed. After all, Moulton's political sense was not as good as Charles's.

"It doesn't have to be physical, but it's not good news for us."

Frank pointed to the parchment scroll on the table: "Look, this is the tentative decision made during today's meeting."

Charles wanted to see it very much, but thinking of his current status, he could only resist the urge and wait for Moulton to see it first.

Molton picked up the scroll and read it once, scratched his head, laughed a few times, and then silently handed the scroll to Charles.

To be honest, he couldn't understand it.

Charles smiled slightly, my stupid Odoudou, want to seize the inheritance? You are still too naive...

He browsed quickly, and the more he looked, the more frightened he became.

"Plan to improve the labor benefits of those who serve in the mines?"

"Interim regulations of the Mine Safety Law? Require mines to meet safe mining conditions before mining is allowed? Safety standards will be introduced later?"

"Since the main market participants of magic crystals are imperial nobles, it is planned to classify magic crystals as luxury consumer goods and impose a luxury goods consumption tax!? Is Victor crazy about money!? What are they going to do!?"

Charles couldn't help but roared: "The market for magic crystals is not big to begin with, but he actually wants to increase taxes!? Is this trying to force our Qadir family to rebel!?"

"That's what they meant."

Frank still said tepidly: "Keep watching, there will be more later."

"——Since the previous provisional regulation stipulates that magic crystals are luxury goods, luxury goods export tax will be levied on subsequent exports to the City of Silver—damn it!"

Charles was furious: "They definitely did it on purpose!"

Everyone knows that the Kadir family of the Illus Empire is the largest manufacturer and shipper of magic crystals, and these temporary regulations are obviously aimed at them!

The profit was not much in the first place, but now the tax has been increased. Under the intimidation of the magicians in the City of Silver, it is difficult to increase the price of the magic crystal, so the profit is even less!

Obviously this is a long-planned conspiracy by the royal family, and the goal is to suppress the Qadir family!

"There will be more later."

The expression on Frank's face did not change at all, making it impossible to tell his emotions.

Charles continued to read, and when he saw the following content, his heart suddenly beat wildly: "The Empire's First Army has started actual combat exercises recently? Are you planning to transfer personnel from the Third Army to supplement the shortage of the First Army? The First Army has begun to equip New armors and weapons, the defensive capabilities of new armors and the offensive capabilities of new weapons will be evaluated during the exercise!?”

Charles took a breath: Father, is this fake? "

"In the past few days, Aubrey has been running to the First Army every day. It can't be a lie, right?"

Frank said calmly: "With his IQ, do you think he can act for me?"

"...That won't happen."

"So, that could very well be a signal... a not-so-good signal for us."

After Frank finished speaking, he lowered his head: "The domestic layout and intelligence network have not yet been fully penetrated, but Victor seems to be unable to sit still. He may also be aware of the threat. Now these actions are demonstrating to us."

"Maybe you just lied to us?"

"Lying to us? What good will it do to him?"

Frank showed a very gentle smile: "It won't do him any good to deceive us. Don't forget, the Third Legion is stationed at the Scar of the Holy Sword, mainly to deter the Kingdom of Grayson. Now he even has people from the Third Legion. They were transferred back...the purpose is obvious, just to scare us."

"...Father, will there be a war?"

"It's unlikely, but it's not ruled out."

Frank breathed out: "No matter what, now that the royal family has dealt with the cards, it will be our turn to play the cards next. The Spade family has a rich background, so these policies have not hurt their roots. They may not There was an immediate reaction, but we are different, we have made our choice, so now we have to play our cards."

"You mean...start executing the plan?"

"...The plan has been put on hold for the time being. The top priority now is to raise funds and attract more people to join our camp."

Frank said lightly: "Although we and the Spader family are both aristocratic factions, we are different from them. You also know what the situation of the Kadir family is now. Now that they have joined the Serpent of Darkness, in addition to overthrowing Victor and establishing themselves as King, we have no retreat."

"certainly!"

Charles said with enthusiasm: "Not only for the position of king, but more importantly, that Lord can give us power!"

As a member of the Qadir family whose bloodline is extremely difficult to awaken, Charles does not actually have a strong desire for power. He is more eager for strong personal power. He longs to become the Apocalypse.

However, his natural blood limits the possibility of him becoming an Apocalypse to zero.

He had tried all kinds of expensive medicinal materials, but none of them had any effect. Under normal circumstances, it was completely impossible for him and Molton to awaken their talents and become the Apocalypse.

However, with the help of that adult, his father, Frank, successfully possessed the power of the Apocalypse!

And they have also initially received the gift and can use part of their power!

As they contribute more to the Serpent of Darkness, they will have more and more power. One day, they will become the kind of existence that strong men like Aubrey look up to!

Power, only power is the truth!

Charles clenched his fists and looked very firmly: "Father, now that Victor has played his cards, we cannot fall behind. We need to speed up the pace of buying people now and start planning our own armed forces. "

"Don't worry about the armed forces. In addition to the dead soldiers we have trained, the Dark Snake also has some power at our disposal."

Frank waved his hand and said: "The most important thing now is the funding issue. It is no joke to support such an army. With the financial resources of our Kadir family, we can barely support it for a few years. If we want to start a tug of war, I'm afraid More funding is needed, so the most important thing for us now is to get funding.”

"funds……"

Charles pondered for a moment: "It is difficult to obtain a large amount of funds in a short period of time. The main assets of our Kadir family are the magic metal mines and the magic crystal mines. Unless the magic metal mines are sold -"

"That's impossible."

Frank interrupted him: "You should understand the importance of magic metal. It is not only wealth, but also a strategic resource. I would rather sell the burden of the magic crystal mine than the magic metal mine -"

At this point, Frank was suddenly startled. Could it be that Victor's plan was to force him to sell the magic crystal mine?
