Rise of an Empire

"It is a sin for a person to be born too good."

After learning Linden's thoughts from Emma Rose, Conrad couldn't help but feel a little dazed. He was silent for half a minute before speaking slowly.

When the White Queen heard this, she wanted to give him a slap. She had seen shameless people, but she had never seen such shameless people.

She just read a very interesting piece of news from Lyndon Johnson's mind, that is, the new president seemed to intend to marry Conrad.

Even though Lyndon is already fifty-five years old this year, it seems that powerful people in Europe and the United States are late in having children. So far, his eldest daughter is only nineteen years old, and his second daughter is only thirteen. age

As a qualified politician, Lyndon certainly pays great attention to his daughter's marriage.

The in-law relationship is a very strong alliance of interests at any time, and this is the same everywhere.

Originally, Linden had his eye on several very good young talents. Although those young talents who could come into his sight were already around thirty years old, but for men, being older is no problem.

But since the last time he met Conrad, Lyndon couldn't help but think about it. If he could make him his son-in-law, wouldn't everyone be happy?

The other party is exactly the same age as his daughter, and there is no telling what his life experience is, so he is definitely the best candidate.

As for the Duke of Wetting, it seems that he is a little fox and may grow into a dragon in the future.

what does it matter

If Conrad had been a nice guy, Lyndon wouldn't have had this idea.

"What do you think?" The White Queen thought for a while and then asked.

"How can I think that I have never seen his daughter." The Duke shook his head.

Although marrying that old fox Lyndon is indeed a very good choice, he is also the current president of the United States anyway, which can bring him huge conveniences in various aspects.

But for Conrad, this kind of thing still needs to be discussed and studied.

If his daughter looks okay, then it's okay to suffer a little loss if she has to do it. After all, it's a political marriage, so there's no need to ask for too much.

But if Linden’s daughter is really too ugly to look at, then it’s better to stop this matter right here.

Although it is true that marrying that woman is just to show off at home, but after all, she is married to a clear matchmaker. If it makes people sick when they look at it, how can they live in the future?

He would not wrong himself just because of the help Linden could bring to him.

"He looks pretty good, I've seen it in his mind." Emma Rose said with a chuckle.

Although she and Conrad have gotten along very well in the past two years, and the two have always appeared in public as lovers, the White Queen also knows that the other party's wife cannot be her.

For Conrad, the legal wife he needs now must be the kind who will be of great help to his life.

From all aspects, Linden’s daughter is currently the best choice.

"Come on, why are you in such a hurry? The old fox hasn't spoken yet." Conrad directly reached out and picked up Emma Rose, and said close to her earlobe.

"Let's call Tina tonight and have some fun together."

"Do not"

Voices of laughter and ridicule suddenly rang out in the mansion.

Whether Magneto has bloodbathed the White House or the mutant race has officially become known to people all over the world, ordinary people still live their lives as they should.

Even top schools like Boulevard Middle School were not affected much.

At most, it just means that everyone has more time to talk after class.

"Young Master is finally graduating." Norman threw his textbooks excitedly. Today is the last day of their high school life, and summer vacation will begin tomorrow.

When the summer vacation is over, they can get rid of the title of high school dog and become a real college student.

In this day and age, college student is still a very valuable title, but it is not as bad as in later generations.

The whole floor is filled with a cheerful atmosphere. Even in an ordinary school, high school graduation is a chaotic dance, let alone an aristocratic school like Boulevard.

"Youth!" Conrad couldn't help but sigh as he saw a group of young people roaring excitedly.

Before I knew it, it had been almost three years since I came here.

Over the past three years, he has gradually integrated into the life here, and he doesn't know whether this change is good or bad.

"Let's all have a party tonight. Anyone can come. Tell your friends that Master Norman is treating you tonight. Everyone can come." Norman stood on the podium in a hurry and shouted to the class.

After all, everyone has been classmates for three years. Even if there are some minor conflicts on weekdays, it doesn't hurt. Since we are graduating today, we naturally have to get together.

After all, after today, many people may disappear in this lifetime.

"it is good"

The class suddenly burst into excited shouts. Since there is an enemy who is willing to treat me, it will be in vain if I don’t go.

"Remember, it's six o'clock in the evening at the Wetting Manor at the intersection of East 38th Street and First Avenue," Norman continued to roar on the podium.

Conrad, who was sitting in a chair and continuing to think, suddenly felt something was wrong.

This is not my home, isn’t it?

Norman, you bastard, you can just treat me to your guests. What does it mean to arrange the treat place to your own home?

His little complaint didn't matter to Norman at all.

"Be happy, we have graduated. Why are you still looking so sad?" Norman comforted Conrad with a red wine glass in his right hand and Natasha in his left hand. He looked radiant.

"It's only when I'm happy that I become a ghost," Conrad said somewhat depressedly as he looked at the group of former classmates who were wreaking havoc on his lawn.

Although he didn't care about the money for mowing the lawn, it was really annoying to let a bunch of teenage guys with restless hormones drink alcohol and perform some non-modern art mainstream in their own yard.

"Relax a little, Conrad, your biggest shortcoming is that you are too old, without any youth or vitality." Norman said with a smile without feeling that he had done anything wrong.

Well, although the two of them look about the same age, there is actually a big gap in their mental ages, and sometimes a generation gap does occur.

"Are you going to Harvard?" Conrad asked directly instead of being sad.

Although the Ivy League is an unattainable existence for 99.9% of people in the world, and being able to get into it would be like smoke coming out of the ancestral grave, but it is obvious that he and Norman belong to that group. Zero point zero one existence.
