MTL - The Barrage Said, I Am the Final Villain In the Game-Chapter 257 time to relax
Chapter 257 Time to relax
When the real purpose is achieved, the so-called dinner party becomes a real dinner party.
Eat, talk, play, in addition to this, there is no other episode.
Businessmen who are used to intrigues are always thinking about the purpose behind this banquet, but when the banquet is over, they don't wait for the person who will come to answer them.
So, the dinner ended with an eerie calm.
However, after this event ended, a new owner organized a banquet.
This time, it was organized by Mr. Tarlinkos, a giant among merchants.
Mr. Tarlinkos said at the banquet that he is short of money recently and hopes to get everyone's help by replacing some assets.
As the leader of the Rhine merchants, and the high degree of trust brought by his background, he easily obtained a large amount of cash flow at a mortgage price that exceeded the normal level.
And these cash flows quickly returned to Lynn's hands.
Lin En handed all the money to Corinna again, but the difference from the last time was that this time, he did not ask Corinna to bring all the money back, but made an order to make Corinna I can't think of a plan why I would do this.
With doubts, Corinna, according to Lynn's arrangement, placed all the assets and more generous remuneration than the last time in front of the clansmen.
This time, she generously allocated a large portion of the shares of the charity in charge of these assets to every Christine present.
Among them, her father got the most, about 20%, other relatives only got 60% in total, and Corinna, who made the most money, only kept the last 20%.
The Christines didn't doubt Corinna's generosity, because in the eyes of most nobles, loyalty to the surname is above all else, so they took it for granted as a reward for the family from the daughter of the family, and they were not even willing to be polite. Say something like "you save a little more for yourself".
Of course, although they took away a large number of shares, the Christines sensibly did not join Corinna to interfere with her plan to continue making money. The euphemism is "I don't want to affect your choice", but in fact they just want to lie down and make money.
At this time, Corinna knew that Lynn's chance had come.
"Oh, Corinna."
Duke Christine looked at his daughter who pushed in without knocking, and there was a kindness in his eyes that was impossible in the past.
"What's the matter, my dear daughter, is there any difficulty, do you want me to help?"
Corinna couldn't help scratching her fingers, feeling very uncomfortable with this strange kindness.
Because subconsciously, she knew that this intimacy was forged on the steps of nothingness.
Once they can no longer provide them with money, they will not hesitate to drive themselves off the high platform they have climbed so hard.
Heaved a sigh of relief, Corinna said: "I do need help, but it's not yours."
"—I need a helper."
"Helper? What kind of helper?" Duke Christine tapped his fingertips on the table and said, "Which kind of helper is it? Trust me, I can find anyone for you."
Corinna nodded: "Then, I need someone who is not very clean."
"oh?"
Duke Christine narrowed his eyes with interest.
Needing a not-so-clean person, does it mean that she is going to do not-so-clean things?
Or have already done it, need a blame man?
Duke Christine guessed it should be the latter.
In fact, as early as the first time Corinna took out so much money, he had a vague feeling that Corinna seemed to be no longer the honest child he was familiar with before—according to normal channels, unless the secret treasure was excavated Otherwise, how could it be possible to suddenly take out such a large sum of money?
And if the secret treasure is really dug up and sold, where will the subsequent income come from?
So, Duke Christine took it for granted that Corinna was doing something gray or even black.
But he didn't stop the opponent.
Standing in this position, there are very few things that cannot be suppressed.
Korinna's request today just confirmed his conjecture—in fact, even if Corinna didn't bring up the matter of wanting to find a scapegoat, Duke Christine would choose an appropriate time to help her bring it up.
As a clean-spirited aristocrat, how could he be contaminated with these things?
Even if it gets stuck, there must be a way to get rid of it.
Korinna has been bearing the surname of Christine since she was a child. Once she is in any danger, they will definitely be implicated. Therefore, in order to prevent accidents, there must be a suitable person to carry the blame.
Caressing the newly replaced red lacquered wooden table, Duke Christine fell into deep thought: "Let me think. Who is suitable after all?"
In his mind, the first thing that came to his mind was, without a doubt, Blazer.
In terms of uncleanliness, there are more nobles than Blazer, but they can wash clothes, and Blazer has never been particular about it. Even if his body is covered with mud, he can walk on the street without caring.
If they were to take the blame, after people find out about the accident, they would only show a natural expression like "Oh, so it was them", and would not continue to pursue Christine behind.
It's just a pity that Blazer's parents have had some problems recently, and the heir to the new star who once bloomed in the Rhine Academy seems to have disappeared because of the disappearance of the parents.
Just when Duke Christine wanted to throw this option out of his mind, Corinna spoke.
"I think Blazer is a good candidate."
"Huh?" Duke Christine was surprised because his thoughts collided, and he immediately shook his head and said, "Blazer is gone, right? Now they are real mice, and they want to hide their heads in the sewer forever." How can you come out without seeing the light?"
"But they are my best candidates." Corinna retorted, "Brazer has already existed in name only, but what we need is this name, not their people—if someone else comes, people will really coming."
"Also, they're weak enough, dirty enough, and young enough. If it were anyone else, I'd have a hard time getting them to help while preventing them from stealing the family's interests, but if it's Blaze... I don't think they have Such ability."
Duke Christine thought for a moment, and felt that what Corinna said seemed to make sense.
People who are qualified to be clean are more or less careful. If they are allowed to participate in this "big plan", they must seek something for themselves, but what about Blazer?
What they are thinking now is that as long as they can protect themselves, no matter what they pay, right?
If they can be sheltered under Christine, wouldn’t they be grateful to Dade and do things for them honestly, and if people are under the eaves, dare they have any bad intentions?
After thinking about it, Mr. Duke nodded.
"You are right, then, I will find a chance"
"No need." Corinna refused, "I will do it myself."
"." Duke Christine sighed, and said, "Korinna, don't resist my help like this. We are a family. Solving my daughter's worries and problems is what I should do as a father."
Speaking is better than singing. Corinna rolled her eyes in her heart, and said calmly: "No, father, I just think that since this is my decision, it should be carried out by myself, because I believe My ability is enough. If I really can't do it, I will definitely come back and ask you for help."
Duke Christine smiled with satisfaction: "Korinna, you now impress me."
After a pause, he sighed again: "It would be great if Hester could have your talent, what a pity, what a pity. Corinna, if you have time, I'd better teach your brother more. He is the future of the family. What does it look like to be joking and joking around?"
“.”
Corinna clenched her fist subconsciously, and then let it go quickly.
Eyelids drooping slightly, she tried her best to hide her emotions and nodded slightly.
"good."
Her voice was so soft that it would break if touched.
“.That’s the way it is.”
In the coffee shop, Corinna told Lynn everything that happened at home, and finally added: "From now on, your home should be more stable for the time being."
Lyn blinked: "Thank you."
"You're welcome, it's all an exchange. After all, I have been taken seriously at home recently."
She stopped talking suddenly, because she noticed that her words contained some low emotions that were visible to the naked eye. It wouldn't matter if she was alone, but now she was in front of "my partner with a bad personality".
He must be laughing at himself, right?
Corinna tried to make amends by taking a sip of coffee, but unfortunately, Lynn still noticed her loss.
"You seem a little tired?"
"No."
Corinna's categorical denial was met with more confident and affirmative words.
"Is it psychological or physical."
".Body." Corinna lowered her head guiltily.
Lin En looked at her and said, "There are indeed too many things recently, and you probably haven't been exposed to these things before, well, you really need to rest."
"Why, do you want to give me a vacation?" She squinted at Lynn, as if mocking, "You can't stop, or you will be kicked away."
When she said this sentence, she didn't know whether she was talking about the other party or herself.
Regarding the girl's sarcasm, Lynn only chuckled and said: "The props will explode when they are overused, but if they are broken, someone will repair them, but if they are overloaded, there is no way for others to help you reassemble them."
"So, a proper rest is still necessary." He said sincerely, "I don't want to lose such an excellent partner as you."
Corinna will not be confused by these rhetoric: "Partner? Isn't it a tool man?"
Lin En smiled but did not answer, and then said: "Recently, in order to fight against other competitors, the shops under him are collectively producing activities. Some places are quite lively, do you want to go for a walk?"
Corina glanced at him: "Will someone get married? Will they be hunted down and rescued by a beautiful girl?"
“.”
Now Lin En can truly feel that the girl is not physically overworked, but that she is stagnant and unable to vent her anger.
Otherwise, an ordinary Corinna would not say such a thing.
Shaking his head helplessly, Lynn asked like coaxing a child, "So, do you want to go?"
"Go, why not go." Corinna raised her head and said, "But I don't want to go where you said."
"Then, where are you going?"
"Go to Seventeenth Street."
Lin En was slightly taken aback.
The name of 17th Street is no less than Silver Avenue in Catalina.
There are all kinds of underground gambling houses and pubs and dance halls, but the people standing behind are often richly dressed dignitaries.
The black money flowing in the streets every night makes the nobles happy, the businessmen envious, and the common people despair.
For Corinna, who is a nobleman, she will naturally not be swallowed by the darkness in the street. The brilliance outside exists for them, so if you want to relax, this is indeed a place to go.
It's just that, although there are reasons, Lynn is still a little surprised by the other party's proposal.
If it were someone else, even a ignorant little princess, he wouldn't be so surprised, because the little princess doesn't resist witnessing the dark side of the world, she just doesn't like it very much. If you really want to try, it's not impossible.
Corina is different.
She said that she is a knight, and she maintains the demeanor of a knight by herself.
This kind of place can be said to be completely contrary to her beliefs.
"Are you sure?" Lynn asked.
"I'm sure." Corinna took a sip of her coffee and asked, "Why, that's what you want to ask. Now that I've told you, don't you believe me?"
"No, I just thought uh, I should have a weapon with me."
"Huh? What are you doing with a weapon?"
"Self-defense, in that kind of place, you still have to pay attention to safety issues. After all, with your appearance, Miss, it is easy to attract disgusting things in the air filled with alcohol."
"." Corinna turned her head away, "I didn't ask you to follow."
"Then I will give you the sword?"
"No, I don't like using other people's weapons."
"Then I have no choice but to follow."
“.”
Corinna lowered her head, pinched the silver coffee spoon, and stirred the coffee. At the same time, her thoughts kept rolling like the ripples of the coffee.
You are so annoying, can't I bring my own weapon, or bring my own guard? Do you have to follow?
How strong do you think you are! No. 1 in the world! I'm not weak either!
Really, why do you have to follow me.
"Ah, forget it, I may be a little worried, I forgot that you can bring the guards with you, and you are not powerless." Lynn suddenly said regretfully, "It seems that today I Still have to deal with the follow-up matters.”
“.”
Korina's fingers trembled slightly, she coughed twice, and said tactfully: "Actually, I think you may be tired too, right?"
"Hmm" Lynn picked up the coffee cup and smiled as if it was true, "It seems to be the same."
"In that case."
"go together?"
"good."
"Do you want to bring a guard?"
"Um"
"Well, the guards are also very tired standing guard, and they have to take vacation, right?"
“.”
Corinna realized that she might have been manipulated again.
But this time she wasn't too angry, she just moaned and chirped a few times, trying to speak out reluctantly.
"Then we can only go together."
She omitted the "two people" in the subject, as to why.
You may know the reason for the delicious blush reflected in the coffee that has calmed down.
