At this moment, in the banquet hall of Marquis Aaron's mansion, Arlo Aaron, the second son of the late Marquis Aaron and the last direct heir of the Aaron family, was looking at him angrily. The figure dressed as a group of businessmen in front of him, this young man who has just turned thirteen years old, when he saw the guys in front of him who dared to challenge the majesty of his family, the anger in his heart was like a burst of magma, gushing madly.
Arlo swears on his own reputation, if it were the same as before, if these humble guys in front of him dared to stand in front of him and speak nonsense, he would definitely use his long sword to chop off their heads.But now, Arlo can only endure the humiliation of these lowly people in front of him extremely aggrieved. The reason is very simple. The other party has already controlled the lifeline of his family, and the Aaron family can no longer bear any turmoil.
Ever since the late Marquis Aaron led his Second Fleet and was destroyed in a battle with pirates, the original solid foundation of the Aaron family has become extremely fragile. Any reckless move may lead to the destruction of the family .
As the new head of the family who has not yet taken office, Arlo can only accept the humiliation given to him by the other party for the continuation of the family.
"Hehe, I dare to ask the adults of Aaron's family, have you considered it?"
At this moment, looking at Arlo, who was full of anger, and sitting opposite him among the crowd dressed as businessmen, a fat man suddenly laughed sinisterly,
"Things can't just drag on forever~"
"The Aaron family's debts to the major chambers of commerce, everyone in the Aaron family, please give an explanation, otherwise, hehe..."
After listening to the man's almost threatening words, the members of the Aaron family sitting across from each other were silent at this moment. Dare to speak.
In the end, everyone on the Aaron family's side focused their attention on a woman in a blue dress.
The woman's name is Alberti, and she is the wife of the late Marquis of Aaron, and she is also the hostess who can barely represent the Aaron family. Although the Marquis is nearly 40 years old, she still looks charming.But judging from her words and deeds, the marquise does not seem to be a person with her own opinion.
At this moment, facing the focus of everyone's eyes, the Marquis hesitated for a long time, and finally said with a look of embarrassment,
"Presidents, everyone must be aware of the current situation of the Aaron family. Regarding the arrears, I don't know if there can be a grace period. I guarantee the reputation of the Aaron family...... ...."
"Hahahaha~~" The next moment, before the Marquise could finish speaking, a burst of laughter blocked all the rest of her words.
The man who laughed out loud was the fat man. Facing the Marquise's request, his eyes that were almost submerged in fat flashed brightly with mocking light.
"Ma'am, are you kidding us?"
"Guaranteed by the reputation of the Aaron family?"
"How much is the reputation of the Aaron family worth now?"
"Presumptuous—!" At this moment, Arlo, as the heir of the Aaron family, couldn't bear it anymore when he heard the vicious words from the fat man's mouth that were completely humiliating his family.
At the next moment, the young man pulled out the long sword from his waist, and then slashed at the fat man in front of him with all his strength. Judging by the posture, it seemed that he wanted to split him completely.
On the other side, facing Arlo's sudden uproar, the fat man didn't show any panic at all. He just stood there without moving, and just as Arlo's long sword was about to approach, he heard a crisp sound. With the sound of metal clashing, Arlo's long sword was blocked by someone.
The person who held Arlo's long sword was a strong man who stood beside the fat man before. His appearance was extremely tyrannical, and he belonged to the kind of person who must play the role of a villain in a drama.
At this moment, I saw that the strong man was holding a scimitar and easily holding Arlo's long sword. No matter how hard Arlo tried, he couldn't push the long sword half a point in front of him.
"Master Aaron, what are you doing~?"
At this moment, after glancing at Arlo, who had bruised veins on his forehead, the fat man smiled viciously and said,
"Are you trying to solve the debt problem of the Aaron family by killing the creditor?"
"This is really scary, otherwise I would go to the church to solve the problem......"
The next moment, the moment the fat man mentioned the church, the Marquise, whose expression changed drastically, immediately shouted at her son,
"Arlo, what are you doing, put away your sword!"
After the voice fell, she didn't look at her son again. The Marquis suppressed the grief and anger in her eyes. After taking a deep breath, she tried her best to lower her posture and bowed to the fat man in front of her to apologize,
"Mr. Goscinny, I'm very sorry. It was my son who was too impulsive. On behalf of the Aaron family, I would like to express my deep apologies to you."
"Hehe, there's no need to apologize~"
Facing the Marquise's apology, the fat man called Goscinny laughed in a malicious voice, then put on a defiant posture,
"I'm just an ordinary civilian. I'm not qualified to accept the apology from the Aaron family. I'm here just to get back what belongs to me."
"As for Master Aaron, hehe, he's still young, so it's understandable to act impulsively. I won't pursue it this time, but in terms of debts, I still hope Madam can be happy."
Hearing that Goscinny turned the topic to the debt again, the embarrassment on the Marchioness's face became more obvious. After a while, the haggard-looking woman pleaded in a low voice in a tone that was already begging,
"Mr. Goscinny, we can't get that money for the time being. If you can spare some time, the Aaron family will be very grateful......"
"Grateful?" Goscinny unceremoniously interrupted the Marquise's request,
"Ma'am, we are also very embarrassed when you say that."
"I think you should also know who is behind us. If the money owed by the Aaron family is my own, I am very willing to give you some time."
"But unfortunately, the money owed by the Aaron family does not belong to me, but to the big shots behind me. We are also very embarrassed."
Speaking of this, looking at the marquise whose face was full of misery but still beautiful, an obscene color suddenly flashed in Goscinny's eyes, and then he said leisurely,
"However, if Madam really has difficulties here, it's not impossible if you want to relax a little bit of the world, but..."
"Hehe, ma'am, you know that everything has a price. I can help you intercede with the big shots behind me, and try to accommodate those lords, but I need a reason."
"A reason that makes me willing to pay the price......"
At this point, Goscinny no longer concealed his desire. The strange color in his eyes made everyone understand what he wanted to say.
In an instant, people looked at the Marquis again, and quickly became weird.
"Enough, you disgusting scum!"
"How dare you have such a despicable thought?!"
At the same time, after realizing Goscinny's purpose, Arlo, who had barely restrained the anger in his heart, was finally completely irritated. He stared at Goscinny, and the hand holding the long sword knuckles. His face turned pale, and the posture was that he wanted to bite off a piece of flesh from his opponent.
However, Goscinny didn't care about Arlo's anger at all. He just looked at the Marchioness with a smirk on his face, like a hunter waiting for his prey to be caught, waiting patiently for her answer.
Facing Goscinny's reaction, Arlo became even more angry, but when he took up his sword again and was about to fight Goscinny desperately, the Marchioness suddenly held him tightly.
At this moment, Arlo could clearly feel the great power coming from the palm of his mother's grasping his arm, and just when he opened his eyes wide and wanted to say something, he only heard "crack!" With a sound, the Marquise slapped him hard across the face.
"Sorry~~"
After the sound of applause, Arlo, who was covering his face, looked at his mother blankly, as if he didn't understand the situation at all. After that, before he could speak, he heard the Marquise's sobbing cry The sound resounded in the hall,
"Quickly apologize to Mr. Goscinny~~"
At this moment, Arlo opened his mouth when he heard his mother's order. He really wanted to ask his mother why, but after seeing his mother with empty and hopeless eyes, he couldn't say what was on his lips anyway.
After a while, Arlo, who was in a daze, instinctively looked at the other members of the Aaron family, as if he wanted to draw confidence and courage from other family members, but everyone avoided his eyes, and no one dared to look at him. Eye to eye with him.
At this moment, as the second son of the late Marquis Aaron, Arlo, who had been taken care of by everyone, clearly felt for the first time what despair was.
"Mr. Goscinny, regarding the actions just now, I......"
Finally, after an unknown amount of time, when Arlo was about to submit to his mother's will, give up his dignity as a nobleman, and gritted his teeth to apologize to Goscinny, a delicate voice of a young girl suddenly echoed in everyone. in the human ear......
"Excuse me, is this Aaron's house?"
Chapter 62 59. Shock!
At this moment, when the voice was accompanied by the slightly cold wind, and faintly infiltrated into everyone's ears, people subconsciously looked towards the direction of the gate. Immediately afterwards, two people wearing cloaks, looking travel-stained The figure leisurely appeared in the sight of everyone.
These two uninvited guests who came suddenly did not pay attention to the various eyes of the crowd. They approached the crowd straight away. After looking around the crowd, one of them gently put down the hood of the cloak. After that, the brown The long hair is scattered vertically, and a delicate face is revealed in people's eyes.
Needless to say, this person is the girl.
The next moment, when people were looking at the girl in amazement, the girl turned her head to the desolate Marquise and said with a chuckle,
"Excuse me, are you Madame Albertie?"
Hearing the girl's question, the Marquis was taken aback for a moment, and then hesitantly responded,
"Yes, I am Alberti, may I ask who you are..."
Facing the puzzled Marquise, the girl nodded slightly, and after completing a simple meeting etiquette, she said with a faint smile,
"Your Ann, Mrs. Alberti, please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Katerina Aldan, and I am the eldest daughter of the Aldan family. It is a pleasure to meet you~"
Aldan? !
At this moment, upon hearing the girl's own surname, the entire hall fell silent, and everyone was stunned by the sudden change.
Immediately afterwards, everyone's attitudes changed at a speed visible to the naked eye.After the girl revealed her identity, the faces of the members of the Aaron family immediately showed a lot of joy. On the contrary, those people who besieged the Aaron family before had the wretched smile on their faces after the villain gained power. It disappeared quickly, leaving only fear and anxiety.
"This is impossible!"
"The Grand Duke of Aldan has already announced his abandonment of the Aaron family, and now he can't send someone over!"
"who are you?!"
The next moment, before everyone in the Aaron family recovered from their surprise, a loud voice full of doubts and unease sounded in the hall. When everyone subconsciously followed the voice, they found that the person who spoke It was Goscinny.
At this moment, this guy who was so arrogant just now has disbelief written all over his face, but what is different from other people is that there is not much panic in the expression of this fat man, as if there is something wrong with him. What rely on the general.
As for this guy's doubts, before the girl could speak, someone in the Aaron family camp yelled sharply,
"presumptuous!"
"Goscinny, you are just a commoner, what right do you have to question Miss Aldan's identity?!"
Facing the reprimands from members of Aaron's family, Goscinny ignored them in the slightest. He just stared at the girl with vicious eyes, trying to dig out any clues from the girl that she belonged to a liar.
"You absolutely cannot be from the Aldan family!"
After staring at the girl for a while, as if he had found favorable evidence, Goscinny suddenly sneered and said,
"Little girl, don't be stupid, you will be sentenced to death by hanging if you pretend to be a nobleman, and even your family members will not be happy."
Having said this, Goscinny turned his head quickly, and after looking around at the "allies" around him who had already flinched after hearing about the girl's identity, he pointed at the girl and shouted. said,
"Everyone, don't be fooled, this woman cannot be from the Aldan family!"
"The Grand Duke of Aldan announced half a month ago that he would dissolve the relationship with the Aaron family. It is absolutely impossible to change his mind suddenly, let alone the so-called eldest daughter who came here?"
"Also, everyone pay attention to this woman's attire. Think about it for yourself, how can a daughter of a big noble family dress like this?"
"Don't be fooled, she must have been recruited by the Aaron family to deceive us!"
After the voice fell, seeing the emotions of his "allies" stabilized again, Goscinny turned around again, threatening the girl loudly and fiercely,
"Say! Who are you?"
Facing Goscinny's threat, the girl did not respond, but after looking at him with more interest, she said leisurely,
"Goscinny, 42 years old, the chairman of the Sea Ghost Chamber of Commerce, a native of the Kingdom of Burros, once served in the Navy of the Kingdom of Burros. After leaving the merchant group, I formed the Sea Ghost Chamber of Commerce by myself."
"Well, it is indeed a very good resume. However, this is not your real identity......"
