I really don't want to cross

Chapter 399 No problem!
"Let the Merod family be destroyed?"

Looking at Pei Lisha who was being helped away by the maid, Subaru Natsuki's eyes flashed with complexity.

Although he had imagined this family to be extremely terrifying, what Pei Lisha said still made him shudder.

Pei Lisa's father is the youngest son of the Midlod family. Although he is much younger than the other brothers, he is ahead of the brothers by relying on his business talent, and became the head of the Midrod family at a young age. Head of the Chamber of Commerce.

It can be said……

If there is no accident, he will be the next head of the Milode family.

But on Pei Lisha's 12th birthday, her father and mother were attacked and killed by "bandits" on the way home. general survey.

But it didn't take long for the old man who loved his younger son so much to seem to have completely forgotten about his son... no longer did any investigation into the cause of Pei Lisha's father's death.

what does that mean……

Even Subaru Natsuki could figure it out, that's why Pei Lisa hated these people, hated the old Patriarch...and even wanted to destroy the entire Merod family.

Thinking of this, Natsuki Subaru couldn't help sighing again. The cruelty of the outside world made him feel a kind of exhaustion he had never felt before. Compared with this terrible reality, the cocoon life he once lived was probably just as good as it was. is the best.

"Such a moaning look doesn't suit you at all."

A voice came from Nayue Subaru's ear, and when he turned his head, he saw Wood, who had gone somewhere before, appeared behind him, with a half-smile on his face, as if he was laughing at himself. This made Natsuki Subaru couldn't help frowning.

But he didn't say anything, but glanced at the night above his head: "I suddenly don't understand what family affection is... what are wealth and power?"

Hearing this, Wood couldn't help curling his lips, this question is really not ordinary naive.

There was a sneer at the corner of Wood's mouth, and he said in a very indifferent tone: "Wealth and power are things that are really close to life."

"Ok?"

Natsuki Subaru was taken aback.

However, Wood did not give him a chance to ask questions, and said coldly: "This is the way this world is, family affection is an obligation, friendship is to use, love is a necessary means to vent desire, and wealth and power are things that are really close to life; family affection You will lose to time, friendship will lose to money, and love will lose to family. Time cannot be avoided, but money and power can allow you to win two rounds first in most cases in this 'cruel reality'."

"The world is so simple. After you figure it out, you will find out how naive your problems are."

"..."

Natsuki Subaru's mouth twitched slightly.

Originally, he wanted to seek some comfort from Wood's answer, but for some reason... After listening to it, he became even more desperate for the world.

"certainly……"

Wood smiled, and a flash of nostalgia flashed in his eyes: "Although there are few, there are things in this world that will not lose to anything."

"Really?"

Nayuki Subaru smiled wryly, and didn't continue to ask. Who knows what shocking words will come out of this bastard's mouth.

While the two were talking, they had already walked outside the living room.

At some point, a dense crowd had already gathered outside the meeting room, each with solemn and uneasy expressions on their faces, and the direction these people were looking at was the collapsed three-story building.

"What the hell happened?"

"I don't know too well, but a terrible corpse was just lifted out of the ruins."

"That's right... that corpse is really scary. The upper body and the lower body are completely folded together, and it was broken into two pieces just by lightly picking it up."

"Also, I heard from the knight who just arrived that this was caused by a single blow. How terrifying is the force that can cause this effect?"

"Hey, is it that scary?"

"Of course."

"However, I seem to have heard that the dead man was an old butler of the Merod family."

"Shh... don't talk nonsense like that."

"..."

Looking at Wood who appeared among the servants at some time and discussed with the servants without any sense of disobedience, Subaru Natsuki couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

Especially this guy's horrified, pale face is exactly the same as the servants around him. It's not like pretending at all, as if he really doesn't know anything... If he didn't know the person or this bastard killed him, he Maybe they all believed it.

"Oh no!"

At this moment, a group of fully armed guards suddenly ran from a distance, and everyone's face looked extremely pale.

"what happened again?"

Natsuki Subaru frowned.

"The old Patriarch was...assassinated!!"

As soon as these words came out, the front of the main building fell into a strange silence.

"what did you just say?"

The second young master Bernard came from the ruins, frowned and looked at the head guard: "Father was assassinated?"

"This one……"

The leader of the guard hesitated for a long time, but he didn't say anything.

"Who did it!!"

Weirsang appeared in front of the crowd at some point, his face was full of disbelief. Although he thought that there might be some twists and turns tonight, he never imagined that the first person to die was his father.

Bernard's brows were also furrowed, although his plan... the old Patriarch still wouldn't survive tonight.

But this was not his action, and this timing was not the damned timing of the old man, because the old man with dizzy eyes was the fuse, and his death could be said to have completely kicked off the beginning of tonight's chaos.

Although the impact is not big, it will still cause some obstacles to my next actions, and...

It was too early for this prelude.

Is it the little girl Pei Lisha?

However, Bernard shook his head immediately. Now that the matter has reached this point, the most urgent task is to start his plan as soon as possible, instead of guessing who killed the old Patriarch.

Thinking of this, he glanced at his elder brother with sarcasm.

This idiot who had a chance to win before, now looks like a lost dog is really funny.

"Where is Weihailuo?"

Pat, who stood by without saying a word, asked suddenly.

Weihailuo?
Everyone was taken aback for a moment, only to realize...the fourth young master didn't seem to be seen from the beginning to the end.

"Tsk tsk, I can't stay here anymore."

Seeing this, Wood patted Natsuki Subaru beside him: "If you don't want to die, hurry up and find a better stage."

"..."

Nayue Subaru came back to his senses, and looked at Wood with a strange expression for a while: "You killed it?"

"how is this possible!"

Wood glared: "Do you think I'm a murderer? We're under the fence, how could I kill the owner here."

Nayuki Subaru rolled his eyes, what he said was really not convincing at all.

not to mention……

"The first impression you gave me was...a murderer who kills without saying a word."

"Uh……"

Wood choked on Nayue Subaru's words, and then nodded: "Well, I killed it!"

"...You are denying me."

"I said it's not that you don't believe it, but I said yes and I denied it, are you annoying!"

The corners of Caiyue Subaru's eyes twitched. Although he had already realized that this guy was mentally abnormal, he never thought that when he left, this bastard actually ran to kill the old head of the Merod family...

"What the hell are you trying to do?"

"The old man is destined not to survive tonight, I just sent him on the road ahead of time."

Wood said indifferently, then changed the topic, and smiled at Natsuki Subaru: "But, have you decided yet?"

Decide?

Nayuki Subaru was taken aback, and looked at Wood inexplicably: "What to decide?"

"Of course it's the candidate for the next Patriarch, otherwise, why do you think I've spent so much trouble?" Wood looked at Nayue Subaru with a look of "caring for the mentally retarded": "If I just protect you until tomorrow morning, I will I'll take you to find a place to hide and watch the show."

"Shall I decide the successor of the next Patriarch?"

"Of course!"

Wood looked at Natsuki Subaru's bewildered expression, and read in a lazy tone, "I've paved the way for you, as for how to get there..." His tone changed, using a kind of encouragement, which seemed to be He said in a crazy tone: "Now you can set the future with one sentence, let the next development change with your one sentence, even if it is to let a dog become the next head of the Milode family, I can also Help you achieve it!"

These words made Natsuki Subaru couldn't help but take a few steps back. For some reason, he suddenly felt that Wood's lazy smile was a little... chilling.

but……

Shall I decide the next Patriarch?

"Why did you ask me to come?"

"Is not this nonsensical?"

Wood spread his hands: "My task is just to protect your safety and give you some help in private because of the contract, and your task is to witness who becomes the next family. I just give you the right to choose now. "

"Of course, it's up to you if you want to intervene. If I don't intervene, I can relax a lot, as long as I protect you well."

Caiyue Subaru hesitated for a moment when he heard the words, and couldn't help but think of what Pei Lisha told him earlier.

Rather than letting those inhumane guys take charge of the Milode family, it is better to let people who want to destroy it all, and the reason why Pei Lisa wants to destroy the Milode family is to avenge her father. She took revenge, and Nayuki Subaru felt that she was the most suitable candidate to be the head of the family.

Thinking of this, Natsuki Subaru hesitated: "Is it really possible?"

"Ok!"

Wood nodded, and the half-smile expression appeared on his face again: "As long as you don't regret it, even if you regret it, it can't be blamed on me. After all, this is entirely your decision. I have no persecution, Guide, or lure your words and deeds."

"Your words make people very disturbed, but..." Natsuki Subaru paused: "Since I can choose, I hope that Pei Lisa can become the next head of the Milode family."

"Are you sure?"

The smile on Wood's face grew thicker, as if he saw something of great interest.

This smile inexplicably made Nayue Subaru a little uneasy, and couldn't help asking: "Why..."

"I said that!"

Wood directly interrupted Nayue Subaru's words: "I won't give any opinions on your decision, it's up to you to make the decision!"

This bastard!
Nayue Subaru glared at Wood angrily, and finally gritted his teeth: "It's decided, if you can do it, then let Pei Lisha be the next Patriarch, I don't believe that the ending will be more unacceptable than other people becoming Patriarch .”

"no problem!"
