Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 145: Arthur

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the private room.

Jin Liancheng frowned slightly and was about to get up and open the door. Leon stretched out his hand and pressed it on his knee. "Who is it?" He said calmly.

Outside the door was an unfamiliar voice, "Young Master Leon, this is Arthur. Arthur Bescord."

Leon looked at Alan in surprise, "Do you know him?"

Alan shook his head honestly.

Jin Liancheng said, "Come in. The door is unlocked."

The door opened and a youth about Alan's age walked in. Her dark green hair was softly pasted to her face. Her eyes behind her flat glasses were filled with a smile, and her tightly pursed lips were slightly raised. She was a gentle and exquisite boy.

"I haven't introduced myself yet." The youth bowed slightly to the three people in the box and said, "My name is Arthur, and I am Alan's brother. Those who are related by blood are all because my father is Hyderick."

Ellen was shocked and said, "Then you're Kodorf's "

"Little brother." Arthur said, "I just came back from the Ruthenian Domain and heard about what big brother did to you. My father and I are both shocked. It's too wrong for big brother to want to murder his own brother."

"You've already conquered the Outer Realm? But your age " This time, Leon was surprised.

Arthur smiled gently and said, "Don't look at me like this. I'm actually 15 years old and I applied to the family for an expedition in advance." This time, because of my big brother, my father sent me back urgently. Originally, he should have apologized to Alan on behalf of his father in the morning, but when he came back, he had to deal with a lot of things. For example, my eldest brother's funeral, as well as the negative effects that his eldest brother brought to our group, all require my help father to solve. So I'm really sorry to drag this out, Ellen. "

Jin Liancheng suddenly snorted coldly, "Now that I have apologized, you can leave."

"Young Master Kim is right," said Arthur with a beaming smile. "Alan must have some grudges against our family now. But I believe we can make up for the damage that Big Brother has done to Alan. For example, start with the little act of kindness of $5 million."

"Oh," said Allen, "so you sent in the five million."

"I know that's not enough, but suddenly, this is all I can do. Fortunately, Young Master Jin is here " Arthur said hatefully, "The William Family is really hateful. Even if it's a wealthy family, I, Beth Cod, am not allowed to be bullied. Don't worry, Ellen, we will definitely repay the card artisan for what he did tonight."

Alan said coldly, "Thank you, but I'll take care of it."

Arthur smiled and said, "Since you said so, I naturally respect your opinion. I'll greet you all this time. I'll go first."

"Wait, take back the five million yuan." Alan frowned and said, "Tell me your bank account."

Arthur smiled bitterly. "That's just a token of our gratitude."

'"No, your big brother has already cut himself off, and the grudge between me and him is over. So, neither you nor Uncle Hyderick need to feel any apologies for this, much less give me a huge sum of money." Alan said resolutely.

"Alright, it's too late today. Tomorrow, I'll have my bank account sent over." Arthur walked to the door and smiled, "Have a good evening!"

The door of the carriage closed and the youth left. Jin Liancheng suddenly stood up and rushed to the side of the door. He opened a crack in the door and looked outside. He nodded and said, "Indeed, we have left."

Leon looked at Alan and asked, "What do you think of this brother?"

"Headache." Ellen shook his head and smiled bitterly. "He's much harder to deal with than Kodorf. You can't blame him for being so obedient. Besides, he has nothing to blame me for. Don't forget, he just came back from the Outer Realm and was shocked to hear of Kodorf's evil deeds. Can I blame him for taking the initiative to hit five million into my account?"

Jin Liancheng walked back and said, "I'm sure he was acting like that just now."

"As long as you're not blind, you can tell." Leon sighed and said, "Even Cheng deliberately provoked him not to get angry just now. This scheme is quite deep. Alan, you brothers must be careful when dealing with him."

Alan nodded. "I know, but right now, there's no need to worry about Hyderick. They didn't dare to pay any attention to me for a year or two after the incident with Kodorf."

"But it's not just Hyderick in your family. Do you have four uncles?" Leon reminded.

Jin Liancheng waved his hand and said, "The only ones that are worth Alan's attention are the few of them. Kodorf has been sacrificed, but now there is Arthur. As for Roddy's eldest son, Rena, he has gone to the Outer Realm. The only one left is Regis. I heard that this kid is young and uses his sword very well."

"Regis won't do me any harm." Alan shook his head.

"Where did your faith come from," Leonch said. "His father was Bale. I heard about Bale that he didn't get along well with your mother Lanny when he was young.

"

Alan shrugged, "I don't think anything from the previous generation will affect Regis. If you see him, you'll know that he's a very pure person. I've fought him several times and his swordsmanship is decent, so he's definitely not the kind of person to play tricks on."

"Since Alan is so confident, we don't have to worry about anything." Jin Liancheng patted him on the shoulder and said, "Once winter is over, Leon has to scram to the Outer Realm. If you need any help, remember that you have a friend like me. My Jin family is not as powerful as the William family, but it can also be considered as having a lot of friends. No matter what, I think I can always take care of them."

Leon nodded and said, "Lian Cheng is famous for his romance in Babylonian circles. He has a lot of friends, but most of them are noble ladies. Remember this, Alan."

Jin Liancheng pretended to be angry and said, "Scram, don't tear down my stage here."

After a moment of silence, the three of them laughed until they choked on tears. Adele, who was sleeping soundly on Ellen's lap, was woken up by the three of them and said angrily, "Shut up, all three of you, and make sure no one sleeps."

Leon smiled and pointed at Adele. "So the young miss has already woken up, but she pretends to sleep on our little Alan's thigh and refuses to get up."

"Haha, Leon, are you itching?"

Several youths immediately scolded and laughed in the private room.

The next morning, Alan returned to Castle Ugarte. There was also a Broyle in the car. Like Wilick, Alan temporarily put him into the family guards' organization and waited for the expedition to the Outer Realm before turning into his own squad. Broy's handover was handled by Helsing, and Alan was told to go to the study to see Horn.

When he arrived at the study, Horn turned around at the window and smiled, "Did you bring a Highlander?"

"How did grandfather know?"

"Their features are generally obvious, such as the braided beard. The ancestors of the Highlanders were the Vikings, who fled deep into the mountains and primeval forests during the darkness before the Battle of Dawn in Norway and Denmark. Only after the Battle of Dawn did they reappear in the eyes of the world. However, during this period of time, the Vikings suffered many casualties, and even their civilized heritage was torn apart, returning to its original state. "Horn took out a book of federal race statistics and patted the cover." After that, they changed their names to Highlanders because they mainly lived in the Zuka Highlands. The bloodline of the Highlanders still flowed with the blood of the Vikings. They were valiant warriors. The cruel environment of the Zuka Highlands allowed every Highlander to possess a tyrannical strength of a hundred. The federal government had thought of recruiting them into the army, but unfortunately, the highlanders who believed in Odin did not want to be held hostage. "

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore." Horn withdrew his smile and said solemnly, "Adele was attacked last night?"

"Grandpa, have you heard?"

Horn nodded, "Old Kate is furious about this and is pressuring the Venus Hotel executives to give the Mawsons an answer." The Venus Hotel was definitely involved in this matter. It had happened under their noses. Even if it had nothing to do with the hotel, there would definitely be a huge loophole in their security system. If the Venus Hotel doesn't handle it well this time, their reputation will be damaged. After all, the one who was attacked was a young lady from a famous clan, and she was also a blood relative of the clan. If the hotel is not properly handled, who dares to spend money on it in the future? "

Horn snorted coldly, "Now some people really don't care about us old fellows anymore. It was you before, and now it's Adele." Each and every one of them ignores the invisible rules we have laid down. Apart from protecting the bloodline of the descendants of the clan, the most important thing was to prevent the clans from engaging in unresolved bloody feuds. If even Babylon was in conflict, then the whole Federation would be finished. "

Alan was stunned, but he didn't know that the so-called bottom line involved the survival of the Federation. Thinking about it, if there were internal strife among the wealthy families, then the entire Federation would truly collapse and disintegrate.

'"Of course, Old Kate's pressure on the hotel will make it difficult to catch the culprit behind the scenes. This kind of thing usually only pushes out a scapegoat. After all, the guy who dares to attack Adele must have a lot of background. Unless Old Kate is willing to start a full-scale war, he will not be able to do anything about it." Horn looked at Alan and said, "I can almost imagine what kind of choice Old Kate will make. The key is that Adele is still alive. Otherwise, it would be another situation. So this time, Old Kate owes you a big favor. Alan, you did a good job."

"Adele is my friend," said Allen. "Even without the favor of the Morsons, I will do my best to save her."

"That's what it should be. Otherwise, how can I be called a true friend?" Horn paused and said, "I'm glad you've made friends with Adele and Leon. With them, you have a foothold in Babylon. I also heard that the Jin family's young master defended you against the card artisan last night?"

"Jin Liancheng is also my friend now."

"Alright, the Dongfang Jin Clan and the Morsen Clan are usually rich merchants. Making friends with Jin Liancheng will be very helpful to your career in the future. If I'm not mistaken, you guys have already formed an alliance, right?"

"I really can't hide anything from you." Alan said sincerely.
