Chapter 138 Undercurrent
Sauron wears a black suit, a white shirt, and his handsome appearance and aristocratic blonde hair make him attract much attention wherever he goes. But careful people will find that Sauron's face has always been too pale and has black eyes recently. Although he has been carefully decorated, he can't escape the eyes of people.
And in the base camp of the Parkland family, there are definitely many people with intentions.
He just woke up today and was told by the housekeeper that old Brant wanted to see him. Since Sauron was dismissed in disguise by the Blood Knight, old Brant has not seen his grandson. Today, when he learned that his grandfather was going to see him, Sauron thought that his bad luck had finally come to an end.
But when he came to the door of the office on the 16th floor, Bai Ni, the housekeeper, didn't look very well.
"Young master, don't say anything after entering. The master is in a bad mood now." Bai Ni whispered and opened the door of the office for Sauron.
When the door opened, an old Bubante roared inside. Sauron felt straight down. Judging from this battle, as long as he is not a fool, he knows that nothing good will happen. Naturally, Sauron is not a fool. God knows how much he wants to turn around and leave without having to bear the unknown anger of old Brant. But since old Brant wanted to see him by name, Sauron had to bravely walk into the office.
The door is closed behind you.
Sauron looked like a huge office in the old days. In addition to the old Brant, the ruler of the family, there were three people present.
Standing to the right of old Brant is a middle-aged man who looks like Sauron. The difference is that the man's carefully decorated beard makes him look more majestic. This man is Sauron's father, Hein, who was relied on by Old Brant for his shrewdness and ability, and was known as Little Brant in the family.
The two men standing on the left, who are slightly older, are Sauron's uncle Jester. Jester had a beard and a gloating smile on the corners of his mouth. Next to him was a shy young man, Jester's son, Johnson. Although Johnson is also a vegetarian like Sauron, he is only proficient in the water system, and his reputation in the family is far less than that of Sauron, who is as dazzling as the sun.
During his rest at home, although Sauron has been addicted to wine and sex, he has not fallen to the point of wasted his ability. Even with Zero as his imaginary enemy, he trained himself crazily to drive away the shadow left by Zero's violent posture in his heart. In the almost self-abuse training, Sauron's mastery of the fire element has advanced to another level, and has reached the fourth level of fire element mastery, which also provides a chance for Sauron to learn advanced ability.
It's just that Sauron has not been notified of his return to the Blood Knight, so he has not been able to learn advanced ability. However, the fourth-order fire element is proficient enough for him to gain a foothold in the family, and he is not afraid of being like people with ulterior motives, such as Gerant, who vigilized his son Johnson to cover Sauron's limelight and even touch the future family successor.
Sauron walked to old Brant and greeted his grandfather and family leader with the highest level of etiquette. Brant is in his seventies this year, and he has controlled the family for nearly 40 years. However, as he gets older, even if the use of genetic agents can prolong life, it can't get the energy and charm of his youth, so he intends to abdicate to Sauron's father in these two years, also known as Hein, Jr.
and Sauron is his favorite grandson, and he has even asked Hein to appoint Sauron as the next family successor. However, some recent events have disappointed old Brant with his grandson.
Old Brant said with a gloomy face, "Soren, do you know why I asked you to come here?"
Sauron vaguely guessed something, but still shook his head to show that he didn't know.
"Look at what you have done!" Old Brant finally couldn't help shouting: "As one of the most important members of my Parkland family, you can't even clean up a soldier in the wilderness. Look at now, this mercenary named Zero is pointing directly at our family, and you sent Lanqi to assassinate him and has fought with him once on the outskirts of Phoenix. But he didn't kill him. Now he and Lanqi have entered the Death Ridge, and there is no information about them for the time being. But those companies and bases outside have opened the door for gambling on this matter, and no matter who is the final winner, our family is destined to become a joke in the eyes of others!"
"Isn't it, my nephew who can do it." Gerant also said, "A mercenary in the wilderness dares to challenge my Parkland chaebol. And the killer you sent hasn't been able to kill him yet. Dear Sauron, our family can't afford to lose face. I'm not talking about you as an uncle. In fact, at the beginning of the fight, you should kill this mercenary with absolute force, instead of just sending a Lanqi to assassinate him.
Sauron cursed this uncle in his heart, but on the surface, he said respectfully, "I don't want to kill this mercenary with great fanfare. What I'm afraid of is the world's well-known situation. It's just that I didn't expect that the zero was so tricky that even Lanqi could not kill him with absolute certainty. This is indeed my mistake. Grandpa, I am willing to be punished.
As a father, Hein naturally had to say something for his son. He whispered beside him, "Dear father, in fact, Sauron's previous judgment was not wrong. If we deal with a mercenary with great fanfare, we will only let others see jokes. If I were Sauron, I would also let Lanqi complete this task. Now, more than this, I think it is more important to figure out who spread the news so that the whole coastline company knows about it. I'm sure that people who publicize this matter must have ulterior motives, and its most basic purpose is to damage the reputation of our family.
"Grandpa, since this matter has been widely spread, it is useless for us to suppress and conceal it. It's better to let me fight with my guard. If Zero can walk out of the Hill of Death, I promise that he can't move forward. And this opportunity, we can let other companies know how stupid it is to provoke our family. Because the force I will show will completely kill all individuals or companies with this idea!"
Hain's eyes showed praise. If Sauron's move is successful, it will indeed be more powerful for other companies in the wilderness. As for failure, Hein never thought about it.
Old Bran nodded and said, "If you want to do it, do it well. If you let this mercenary enter the 3,000 kilometers of our family. Sauron, I will consider letting your father remove your qualification as an heir.
"I won't let you down, dear grandpa!" Sauron affirmed.
