Rise of an Empire

"Now in the name of the Father, the Holy Spirit, and the Son, I declare that the bride and groom are married. Now the groom can kiss the bride."

"I'm exhausted"

Conrad took off the tie that was tight around his neck. Who the hell invented this thing? It would almost strangle his neck with this thing, right?

"Why did that bastard Ross ask you to be the best man? Can't I do a good job?" Norman looked at Conrad resentfully, full of dissatisfaction.

"Of course it's because I'm handsomer than you." Conrad gave Norman a knowing blow without hesitation.

"Bastard" Norman was indignant. In fact, he was considered a handsome boy. The genes inherited from the Osborne family were still very good.

But compared with Conrad, he really can only pale in comparison.

"At least, my wife is prettier than your wife." Norman said softly as he walked to Conrad's side.

As friends of the groom, the two of them came to Ross's wedding, and naturally Natasha and Linda came with them.

Although Linda was dressed up for the occasion, compared with Natasha beside her, she was indeed much bleaker.

Norman, this guy, can only take advantage of this now.

The Duke shook his head and decided not to argue with anyone about this issue.

What he has to consider now is that this guy Ross is already married. Isn't it too early?

You must know that the other party is only three years older than him. He is only 22 this year. He has just graduated from West Point Military Academy with the first grade. It is supposed to be the time to brush up on merits. Why did he get married so early?

It was really unexpected when he received Rose's invitation and request to be the best man.

If the memory is correct, Ross's daughter is several years younger than the Hulk Bruce Banner. With Ross's current energy, doesn't it mean that the Hulk might have been born.

"Thank you very much, Conrad. You did a great job by tying me up today." Ross, who finally got some free time, walked over to them and thanked Conrad.

"It's okay, this is what I should do, Major." Conrad clinked glasses with Ross. This guy immediately became a major as soon as he graduated. He is simply crazy.

Look at Stryker who was greeting us at the door. That guy was definitely better than Ross in every aspect. However, when he graduated, he ranked second in the school and was promoted to a lieutenant.

The gap between a lieutenant officer and a school officer is huge.

But there is nothing he can do. Who said he doesn’t have a good father or a good husband-in-law?

I almost forgot to explain, Conrad just found out that Ross's wife, Karen Lee, also came from a family of warlords.

Robert Edward Lee, the commander-in-chief of the Southern Army during the Civil War. Although the South later lost, Robert Lee still became a tragic hero in the eyes of Americans. Over the years, the Lee family also had a decisive role in the American military circles. status.

With such a marriage between two major warlords, it will be difficult for Ross, even if he wants to fail, to succeed.

"Who am I? Conrad, you are very famous now. It is said that Time Magazine is going to name you the person of the year." Ross laughed twice. The 22-year-old major said that he definitely has a bright future. , but compared with the little brother opposite him, it's really nothing.

“Everyone is just cheering”

Thanks to Old Osborne's $1 billion investment, Conrad's base station construction has been in full swing in the past few months. Construction is going on all along the West Coast of the United States, and mobile phone business has reached a new high.

The major shareholders of Bell Company were all pulling out their hair at home. They never expected that the Duke of Wetting would be so invulnerable. No matter what method they tried, they seemed unable to defeat him. Instead, now it was their turn to be forced in. Desperate situation.

The proposal in the Congress was also successfully passed. From next year, two thousand wireless signal base stations will be built in the United States. Conrad's fruit company will rent these base stations for an annual rent of 600 million US dollars. If he cannot pay, Then those base stations will be withdrawn and re-auctioned.

Linden still helped Conrad, probably because he was afraid that his daughter would suffer hardship in the future.

After all, if Conrad really goes bankrupt, he won't be the only one who suffers.

"When will it be your turn to get married?" Rose asked jokingly.

"I guess it will take another two years, until Linda graduates." Conrad smiled and replied nonchalantly.

Anyway, that girl Linda is his from the beginning to the end. The wedding is just a formality, it doesn't matter what time it is.

Of course, we have to comfort the jealousy jars at home first.

On the other hand, Norman is a little gloomy. Although he has made several requests to get married to Osborne Sr. in the past two years, Sr. Osborne always advises him that men should put their careers first and refuses to let go, which is really disappointing. Somewhat depressed.

He actually asked Conrad to find a way, but regarding this, the Duke could only say that he was helpless.

Originally, it was said that the best way to force a marriage was to get married with a son. Old Osborne's health was getting worse day by day. If Natasha could give him a grandson, the old fox would not refuse.

But as far as he knows, it seems that the black widow is infertile, which would be a trap for Big Daddy.

But Norman probably keeps this kind of thing in the dark. If he told him that his wife was infertile, wouldn't he be forcing the other party to fall out with him?

So Conrad could only pretend to be confused and pretend to understand.

"Your Excellency, I have your phone number." The three of them continued to talk with their own thoughts. Ito Ichijo came in from the door, holding the big brother in his hands and said to Conrad.

"What's the matter?" Because the Big Brother thing is too big, under normal circumstances, Conrad would ask Ito Ichijo to carry it for him.

Otherwise, how tiring it would be to have a brick on your waist?

Although a new type of mobile phone has been developed in the laboratory, which is only one-third the size of Mobile Phone, Conrad does not want to sell the new mobile phone before Mobile Phone is sold throughout the United States.

"Anton Vanke has broken up with Howard. Howard is now asking people from the General Administration of Immigration to send Anton Vanke out. Their car has left Stark Industrial Park and is about to arrive at the Hudson Pier." Thrawn immediately called on his mobile phone Report in.

by

Conrad almost smashed his phone and cursed him, Thrawn, why is every message slow?

"I have something to do. I'm leaving first. Help me take Linda back." Before he could say hello to Linda, Conrad directly ordered Norman.

Before he finished speaking, he rushed out the door.
