This operation looks really familiar.

Alex pushed the door open heavily and strode into the study.

Standing in front of Xien with his head lowered, he stared at Xien fiercely with his venomous green eyes:

"I heard you weren't feeling well, Sheen."

"You're not going to fake smile in front of me?"

Sheen picked up a Grango from the table and threw one into his mouth.

"Keep your composure, my lord,

“Killing me now will cause you a lot of trouble.

“No negotiation can be won or lost based on the volume of your voice.”

...

While Alex was silent, Sheen turned to Jimmy and waved:

"Louis, Jimmy. You two should go out first. This will save time."

"Yes."

After the grandparents left the study, Sean and Alex were still confronting each other.

"I'm just asking if you are lying. You know, people with orthodox blood rarely get sick." Alex said coldly.

"So Xi Lun's previous leave requests were all lies? What's wrong with me not feeling well?"

Sean deliberately turned his eyes slightly towards the pile of letters, picked up one at random, and pretended to show off.

"By the way, it seems that I received several times more invitations than someone else."

Alex had no intention of paying attention to Sheen's achievements in the social world.

As he moved his eyes, he noticed the magic tower envelope that Sheen had deliberately spread out on the table:

"You are all going to the Magic Tower for further studies, and you still have the mood to look at those things...

"The Demon Tower knows that you are a snob and will definitely regret accepting you as his last disciple!"

"Snob?"

Xien lowered his head slightly and snorted coldly.

"Ah!

"Then I can't just give these resources to others. This is good, I don't have to bother asking the Duke..."

......

Alex clenched his fists slightly, gritted his teeth and cursed:

"Not only did you come here to steal Xilun's position, but you also got to know His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and didn't even let go of any resources...

"What exactly do you want?!"

This is what you said.

Xien crossed his legs leisurely, put his hands on his legs, and said casually:

"Two hundred thousand gold coins."

"what?"

Alex stared at Sheen with eyes wide open in disbelief.

Sheen didn't find it strange:

"This is the number I mentioned when I first came here. If you had given it to me earlier, I could have left here earlier. It was you who let me stay here, and in the end, the Duke noticed it..."

Xien narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly:

"Xi Lun is a hopeless person."

This undoubtedly hit Alex hard - his children were no match for his brother's children.

Of course, Sheen's request is indeed very strange:

"...money?"

Alex was surprised by this answer.

Sheen, who has watched The Good Game, is very sure of this:

Although the Duke's Palace and the Lord's Palace are separately governed by the two brothers, there is a huge difference in their income and expenditure.

When Xi Lun was still adopted by the Duke, the Duke would give Xi Lun 200,000 gold coins every month as pocket money - in fact, this money still went into the pocket of the Lord's Mansion.

Now that Xi Lun's adoption was terminated, the finances of the Lordship's House were rapidly reduced.

The current two hundred thousand gold coins would require selling several of the lord's territories.

"But if I can use this money to get Sheen to give up his position, it will be worth it."

"Of course, I took the money to pay for early enrollment,"

Sheen smiled with narrowed eyes, then showed Alex the letter he had forged from Romos.

"Look, as long as I pay this money, I can leave here in three days. Do you think I really want to stay here?"

After reading the (forged) letter, Alex smiled evilly:

"You actually want money. It seems that greed is the lowly blood running through your veins."

"Okay, everyone has self-esteem, and uncle understands."

Alex started to act arrogant at this time.

He put his hands on his hips and "commanded" Sheen from a condescending attitude.

"You don't need to ask Atole for the money. I'll give it to you. And I'll give you an extra 10,000 gold coins as a living allowance.

"However, during these twelve years of further studies, you can forget about returning to Haines."

The purpose is exposed, Alex.

Sheen lowered his head and smiled slightly, then answered calmly:

"Well, this is the most decisive decision the Lord has ever made."

Alex walked towards the door with a relaxed pace, and Sheen smiled and said goodbye to him with his eyes.

However, I cannot go back on my word about what I have been promised.

"It would be better to collect the money within three days,"

Sheen paused.

Alex paused, a look of hesitation on his face.

"This is not only the time limit given by the Demon Tower Master, but also one thing,"

Sean slowly stood up, holding onto the table, and left the study before Alex.

"If you want to achieve your goal, you still have to spend some time on Xi Lun,"

"Don't wait until I come back and find out that he hasn't made any progress at all."

Alex was annoyed by such disdain.

But in such an occasion, he would not refuse for the sake of face——

As long as we can get Sheen out as soon as possible, what does it matter if we suffer a little loss?

Alex clenched his fists and imagined Sheen leaving the Duke's Palace quickly in a carriage.

He responded coldly to Sheen's provocation:

"I don't like your attitude, but I will never go back on my promise."

finished,

Alex walked towards the door without looking back, and didn't even drink the Granny Smith tea that Louis had specially prepared for him.

"Aha--"

Louis stood between the uncle and nephew who were getting farther and farther apart. Of course, he chose to catch up with Sheen who was going upstairs.

Da da da...

Faithful deacons know that

Sean Haynes has resolutely embarked on his own path.

After confirming that Alex had left Sheen's residence, Louis said calmly:

"I really don't know,"

Louis's heart was filled with mixed feelings, "What a blow the young master who has returned from further studies will bring to the arrogant people."

Not long after,

The time for school to start early as the Demon Tower Master mentioned has come.

The agreed departure time for docking with the Magic Tower was eight o'clock in the morning. After Sheen washed up and had breakfast, he arrived at the compound.

The weather is nice today. Although it is early spring, the breeze is not too cold.

(Skip the tedious and unnecessary farewell process)

As soon as the servant put Sheen's luggage behind him, Sheen heard the sound of a carriage.

!

The magic-driven "carriage" that came out of the tunnel slowly stopped in front of Sheen who had packed his luggage.

It turns out that there is such a cool setting as "driverless driving" in this world.

(Technology up!)

Sheen swallowed his saliva and carefully took out the handwritten letter from Romos from his pocket. He held the stamped part on the lower left corner against the "door code scanning area" -

Isn't this just a QR code scan to get on the bus?

"Ding ~"

"Identity verified: Sean Haines, welcome to the Magic Tower."

Sheen's face was disheveled in the breeze: I haven't felt this sense of technology for a long time.
