Chapter 39 The Douglas Family

Bisinia City, the old city.

Compared with the mess of the new urban area affected by prison riots in the evening, the old city of the city looks particularly quiet.

Most of the residents who have lived here for generations are big families blessed by the glory of the gods. The Holy Temple of Simus, the city's main residence, the police headquarters, courts and other large authorities in the city are also here.

Although it is not as prosperous as the new city, there is no doubt that this old city with a thousand years of history still holds unshakable power.

not far from the Holy Mosque of Simus, across a street, luxurious shops are next to each other, occupying more than half of the commercial street. They are all industries belonging to the Douglas family in the city. Behind these shops, there is a large and complex residential complex - the residence of the Douglas family. So.

The Douglas family is one of the oldest families in Bisinha, and only their families maintain this ancient tradition of community-style living.

In the ancient house, one of the secret rooms was brightly lit and shining like the day. There were more than a dozen men and women, divided into two rows, sitting on both sides of the long red-painted square table, and there was actually a beautiful woman sitting on the main seat.

"The mineral income generated by seven gold mines, three rare earth mines, eight coal mines, etc. this month has decreased by an average of three percentage points compared with last month."

"There are several shops we use to rent that can't be rented out... After all, most of the merchants in the main urban area have gone to the new urban area."

"The city owner canceled another preferential condition exclusive to the Douglas family, and the Sodom family now has that privilege."

......

is all bad news, all bad news! Sophia on the throne was extremely furious and pretended to listen to the reports of the people below. Her hands under the robe and her nails smeared with violet juice were deeply buckled into the soft skin.

"Cousin Sophia, you don't look well. Would you like to take a break first?" There was a strange mockery in his feminine voice. The speaker was a teenager. He sat on the edge of the table, with a beautiful face, and the high bridge of his nose were wiped with two shadows. The sunken eye sockets were outlined with blue and black eye shadows. He wore a small copper ring on his upper lip, and his whole body was actually a pair. The punk dress of a rebellious teenager in the outside world.

"I'm in good spirits, Kaka!" Sophia didn't seem to like Kaka very much and looked at him sharply: "In the future, you can't interrupt at will until the uncles in the clan finish reporting the affairs."

After being reprimanded by Sophia, Kaka stuck out his tongue with a smile and still said to himself intentionally or unintentionally: "What's the importance of these uncles' affairs... Everyone has been talking for a long time, but in fact, he doesn't want to hear the news of Sofia's auction house..."

As soon as he said this, several middle-aged men who were about to speak stopped, and everyone's eyes gathered on Sophia's beautiful face.

What is the most profitable now? It is undoubtedly an auction house. In the Chashar region, there are thousands of planets such as Black Mercury that are suitable for human habitation, but the auction house is only on Black Mercury, and foreigners are only allowed to exist in Black Mercury.

In this closed star domain, the upper class who holds wealth and power flock to the luxury goods and high-tech products of human society outside the star domain. Being able to own something from the outside human world has become the identity of the rich people in the Chasauer star domain. Symbolically, some rich families will even use ten rich gold mines to trade an auction house of Black Mercury for one of the most popular luxury spacecraft in the world.

So although Black Mercury is only an asteroid in the Chasauer star domain, it is no less rich than the capital planet of this star domain. All the industries of Black Mercury are not as profitable as the auction house, which is the economic lifeblood of Black Mercury.

Take the Sofia auction house as an example, the profits of the whole auction house account for 80% of the family's income. No wonder when Kaka mentioned Sofia auction house, the crowd around the long table stopped talking.

The hot eyes focused on Sophia's face.

A drop of sweat quietly slipped from Sophia's neck into her back.

Cough, cough, Sophia coughed twice, cleared her throat, and calmly glanced over the table. Some of these people are her uncles, aunts, aunts and aunts. As long as there is any deviation in her behavior, maybe her current sitting position will immediately be favored by other competitors in the ethnic group. Threats, such as the younger brother Kaka, who has been staring at her position, and this position is indeed Sophia's deliberate and exhausted means to get her approval from her father. Sophia will not hand it over easily...

"The auction house is doing well. Today, I grabbed three guests from the Yalta auction house. This month's turnover should be more than 8% higher than last month." Sophia said calmly, "This is this month's account book. If you don't believe it, Kaka, you can turn it over."

Sophia spread out a notebook in her hand. The notebook drew a beautiful arc in the air and fell impartially in front of Kaka. Her eyes were as sharp as a knife in an instant, and the cold light shot: "Kaka, take a look."

"No, no..." Being stared at by Sophia's sharp eyes, Kaka only felt that her back was like tens of millions of needles piercing. She was uncomfortable and did not dare to turn over the account book in front of her. Sophia was famous for being ruthless among the clan. She was really angry, and Kaka's heart suddenly felt weak.

"Do any other uncles want to see?" Seeing Kaka's cowardly appearance, Sophia snorted contemptuously and glanced across the faces of the others on the table.

"No, no, how can we not trust Sophia's niece? You will inherit your father's position as patriarch soon, and your ability is naturally beyond doubt. Everyone shirked one after another for fear of being targeted by Sophia.

"Well, let's break up today. Let's go to bed early."

......

After everyone left, I don't know when two more people in the room were shrouded in black robes. One of them came out with a breathtaking pressure, and the atmosphere in the room was condensed.

"Father." Seeing the man, Sophia quickly stood up with a respectful voice.

"You are in charge now. You don't have to be so in awe of me anymore." The man took off his black robe and sat on a chair next to Sophia. The man in black who followed him also stood beside him.

"Father, today's Blackwater Prison... Have you entered the fifth floor while the riot?" Sophia thought about the words and still asked carefully.

"Failed. The masters we sent have still become idiots in the face of the spiritual prohibition under that layer. The speaker is the man in black next to Chief Douglas.

"Is that the 'spiritual prohibition' hidden in the prison again?" Sophia Xiumei slowly condensed: "The master we sent this time is the most... How are those people now?"

"Kill, they are all crazy." Chief Douglas said lightly, "There is no trace left. A fire is enough to turn their bodies into ashes. No one can recognize them."

"Sofia, what happened to me and the monk today?" Chief Douglas turned around and stared at the eldest daughter in front of him.

"I want to go out in person to trap someone, hoping to get your father's consent." Sophia said lightly.

"What's going on?" Chief Douglas's face became serious. His daughter has always been outstanding in ability and is best at demagogic spiritual skills. At a young age, she became a nightmare for all the men of the major families in Bisinia. Known as "violet snake and scorpion", the man who died under her has never resisted, but since she began to After managing family affairs, she rarely takes action in person. Who can make her pay so much attention to it?

"Today, I took someone to rob the guests of the Yalta auction house, but I failed... There was a young stranger, one of whom broke my 'magic sound temptation', and the six monks I brought joined hands to issue a 'magic spell' to him. Unexpectedly, they encountered the spiritual counterattack of the foreigner, and six monks are now S serious injury..."

"A foreigner? Mental attack? What's going on? I heard that no one has ever practiced spiritual skills. Unless he reaches the 'melting period' of foreign gods, he will have some spiritual strength. Is the young strangers you met a master of the melting period?

"No, he is not a master of the melting period!" Sophia recalled today's battle and shook her head: "He just seems to have a special immunity to mental attacks."

"To be precise, there should be a mysterious force in his body that can compete with mental attacks." Suddenly, the monk standing next to the patriarch Douglas spoke again. He lifted his hood and showed his skull-like face, which turned out to be Herman!

"The great monk has also tested him?" Sophia was surprised that Herman was the biggest trump card of the Douglas family lurking in the Sodom family. Her spiritual skills were extremely strong, but she didn't expect that even he became interested in the stranger.

"Yes, I tested him twice and failed." Herman smiled faintly: "I found that there seemed to be something hidden in the teenager's body that could fight against the divine power of the goddess Simus."

"We need that foreign teenager." Herman concluded: "Maybe he can help us break the fifth level of the 'divine prohibition' in Blackwater prison."
