"Yes, as the heir of the family, you have a lot of wealth, and you don't lack any jewelry, but you don't understand what that dove blood ruby stands for!"
Speaking of this, the old man sighed and explained patiently: "Feng Xun, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. That ruby was cut from an old sword!"
"So what?" Feng Xun asks in a negative way.
In fact, after he and the little girl found the pigeon blood ruby in the safe of the Bank of Zurich, the little girl had read the annals of the Rose Cross Society, which was also locked in the safe. It clearly drew the sword and the gems inlaid on it!
As for the reason why the gemstone was plucked from the sword, they didn't have much time to think about it. They just realized that maybe it had an inseparable relationship with the internal power struggle of rose cross!
"You are all too young to know the origin of the rose cross. Now I can't explain it to you for a moment and a half. I can only tell you that although the Rose Cross has been electing its president and vice president, there is a rule that is not famous, that is, if you get a sword inlaid with ruby, you can take over the whole rose cross by default, No one can resist... "
The old man said that his eyes were shining with greedy light. Feng Xun looked at the change of his expression, sneered and asked: "so you, the vice president of that year, want to get this ruby at all costs, and then you can cover the sky with your hand?"
Hearing Feng Xun talk about his name of "vice president" in a sarcastic tone, the old man frowned slightly. Instead of refuting Feng Xun's conjecture, he said in a deep voice, "no man will refuse the power and money he has at hand. Feng Xun, you are not qualified to comment on me from the moral high ground. You are dealing with those family members who are trying to snatch your inheritance, But I have never been soft hearted! "
"Everything I do is worthy of my heart, but I can't compare with your ruthlessness..." Feng Xun shook his head and said with a low smile: "now you have no way to escape, what can you talk about with me?"
"Even if you don't want the ruby, don't you want to know where the sword is?" The old man was so anxious that he stared at Feng Xun in front of him and said in a deep voice, "you may not be able to see the rose cross, but don't forget that your grandfather was also our senior member! Your family almost declined in those days. If it had not been for the help of the rose cross, it would have collapsed now! "
Feng Xun's face is still cold. He is not moved by his words at all. He just gives a loud command to the two people disguised as pilots: "search your body, and find out the ruby and the account book on him!"
The two men nodded and searched him with quick means. As expected, they found the account book and ruby that Feng Xun had given him before.
"Feng Xun, don't think so, I have no way to deal with you..." the old man gritted his teeth and angrily scolded the two people who searched his body. "You two are traitors. As members of the Crusade, do you know what will happen if you give these two things to Feng Xun?"
Kelly, with short hair, locked his neck hard and said coldly, "you are very important and forgetful. Don't you know that as early as 20 years ago, I was the traitor you were chasing. At this time, you remember to mention the crusade to me?"
"You --" the old man was stunned by Kelly's words, and his face was constantly changing. Then he shook his head and sneered, "yes, of course I remember that you defected from the rose cross, but it's a pity that you didn't send someone to get rid of you. Instead, you became Feng Xun's running dog."
Kelly didn't want to answer him at all, but Sandra on one side, when she heard the word "running dog", suddenly turned cold. She slapped the old man hard and retorted angrily: "it was wise for Kelly to leave that year, because she had seen through people like you and avoided being forced to sacrifice by you!"
"Sandra, have you forgotten who you are?" The old man was stunned by her slap and looked at her in disbelief. Unexpectedly, this obedient disciple of the cross not only betrayed them, but also helped Feng Xun stop him with Kelly, who had already defected!
"I'll never forget my identity, and I'll never forget the purpose of joining the crusade that Kelly's mentor and I said to us in those years. However, all these things have been destroyed by you greedy and shameless villains. We are soldiers, not running dogs that you used to sell our lives and make use of!"
Sandra's injury is not completely good, his face is still a little pale, but the anger in his eyes is unprecedented.
If it wasn't for Feng Xun's advice, she and Kelly wouldn't bear their anger at all. They wanted to take revenge on the old man for their mentor and their dead companion!
"It's all about Sandy..." the old man shook his head and suddenly laughed.
Kelly and Sandra looked at each other and asked in unison, "what are you laughing at?"
"I said that you were avenging for your teacher Sandy. I didn't expect that you were such a kind and righteous child..." the old man sighed and said in a quiet voice, "it's a pity that you've got the wrong direction. Your teacher has done a lot for me. Do you really think she's clean?"
"Now that everyone is dead, how dare you slander her here?" Kelly increased her strength. Seeing that she was about to choke the old man out of breath, Feng Xun said, "enough, Kelly, let him go and let him say!"
Kelly reluctantly let go, but the old man coughed several times, and then slowly said, "your teacher, but my adopted daughter, she was raised by me..."
"No way!" Kelly and Sandra stare at each other in disbelief, unable to accept the fact for a moment.
Feng Xun's brow also slightly wrinkled up. He had investigated some family background of the little girl's mother before, but he always felt that there seemed to be some problems. Now listening to the old man, it was connected with the questions in his heart!
"On the seventh day of the summer, when I heard that, my reaction was bigger than you, but that's the truth..." the old man shrugged, straightened his collar, and said with a smile, "so there is no absolute black and white in this world!"
"What are you talking about..." Kaili still couldn't accept it. Feng Xun raised his wrist, looked at the time, and said in a light tone: "OK, time is up!"
