C40

Rhine left the Beetle Family with Rincewind.

However, the three elders in the main hall did not disperse.

After sitting quietly for a long time, the old man in the center of the room finally spoke. His voice was hoarse and low as he spoke slowly, "The third generation elite of the Moutes family, the clan leader has an imposing air about him, his rise is unstoppable. It's a good thing that he's able to choose to join the camp at this moment."

Robert nodded respectfully. "Yes, I will send the magic letter to second brother later. He is in the provincial capital."

After a short pause, Robert asked again respectfully, "Who do you think will be more suitable to help the Moutes tomorrow?"

"I will." The old man's slow words startled the two old men sitting below him.

"It's too dangerous. Your safety is related to the rise and fall of the Beetle Clan, or else let me go. After all, this is just an attitude," Robert said somewhat worriedly. He knew that once the old man made his decision, it would be difficult to change his mind, but he still wanted to fight for it.

"It's precisely because of this attitude that if a large clan like the Beetle could only rely on an old man like me to keep watch, then there would be no hope for them to regain their former glory. As long as number two is still around, the clan's hope will still be there," the old man firmly said.

"However, for the sake of a small operation by a small Moutes family, my Beetle family will be under your care. I still feel like making a big fuss over nothing." Robert couldn't help but speak his mind after hesitating for a long time.

The old man looked at Robert with a hidden look of disappointment in his eyes. He stood up slowly and walked away slowly, "The strength of a family depends on the person, not on their glorious history or what seems like an enormous spectacle."

"You should put more effort into raising your descendants. Otherwise, today's Fei Li Clan will be the next day's Bitter."

Robert froze on the spot.

"Rhine is visiting the Beetle Family at night?" An old man with a head full of gray hair was feeding the fish in the pond. Streams of golden colored fish were crazily swimming in the water.

"Yes, father," It was Kohl, the second generation of the Gaia family who had helped Linke several times, "The people who were placed at the Bitter Family were unable to get any information about their conversation, but it must be related to the competition that will be arranged tomorrow. I have previously reported to you that the most outstanding disciple of the third generation, Cohen Muth, was killed and disappeared by a group of people in Lan Mountain a little more than half a month ago.

"Oh?" The old man turned around and casually glanced at his son, "Is that the future star of the Wind City that you had high hopes for? "Hehe, since the ancient times, there have been many ups and downs of talent. This little boy that you have been admiring, he must be Mu Xiuxiu. Perhaps it was your intention to push him into the limelight?"

Cole was silent.

"Regardless of whether it was your original intention or not, as a genius, you have to endure all kinds of tribulations. The strong ones are the ones who survived, "the old man continued to casually look at the fish in his pond," It's only right for the Moutes to want to vent their anger on their outstanding disciples. The seven great clans are in control of the seven great cities, and they don't just put it on the table to watch and play.

Kohl nodded, "There was originally a problem with the Murters' inheritance. Now that we've lost the best disciple of the third generation, I'm afraid that passing on the legacy will be a problem."

The old man frowned, "As long as Rhine stays alive and sits in that position without making any mistakes, then the Mutters' family will always be there, and Rhine is very young."

"Even if her son is truly dead, you will never think about that woman ever again!" The old man slowly turned around and stared into Kohl's eyes, "This time Rhine is going to visit the family of Beetle, and in all likelihood, he has officially joined that faction, and the people up there won't want to see a chaotic wind city," he gently looked away, and then threw all the fish food in his hand into the pond, letting the fish fight over them crazily, "When you chose to bet with others, you would have to face the consequences of failure. If you can't overcome this obstacle, not to mention facing the bottleneck of the Dragon Strength realm, you won't even be able to break the bottleneck of the eighth step!"

Kohl did not say a word, but his eyes were filled with pain.

"Tomorrow, I will go there and see how Rhine is going to do it. Interesting, a star of the Imperial Army, don't let everyone down," the old man said, patting the railing lightly.

"Rhine is visiting the Beetle Family at night?" In the secret room at Fei Li's home, the old man who had obviously aged a lot was filled with both shock and anger!

"Yes, my lord," Jim who was wearing a black robe was one of the water mages who had stopped Seventh Elder Heller during the assassination attempt on Linke. "No matter what, we have to make some preparations. The Mouths Family might take action tomorrow at the convention!"

"What are you afraid of? Didn't the ancestor of the Carter Family agree? What can the Moulters Family do to us? " Loke laughed contemptuously. "If the Moutes clan wants to touch us, they'll have to be prepared for a mutual destruction. Do they really think that we're afraid of them, a clan that has already fallen before it even has a chance to rise?!"

Black Robe Jim did not say a word. The old man's angry expression slowly calmed down. He did not even want to look at Loke. He suddenly realized how ugly this son of his was.

"Do you remember when you were a kid, Roarke?" The old man slowly lowered his head, as if he was extremely tired. "Once, when you and your cousin were fighting over a round stone, and the two couldn't give in, you used a stick to smash his head, causing blood to flow incessantly. Your cousin's mother wanted to teach you a lesson, and at that time, I came out to protect you and prevent you from being punished."

"Of course I do, Father," Loke said, looking reminiscent as well, though he didn't know why the old man had suddenly said this. "At that time, I felt that you were very great. Under your protection, the Fei Li Family would continue to grow stronger."

The old man feebly shook his head, "After that, you never gave up any chance to bully your cousin, until his father, my brother died in the Apocalypse Forest, and nothing can stop you from bullying him. I clearly remember the last time you insulted him, he said that even if you die, you won't be able to get away with it, so I let him die."

Loke was stupefied. He had always thought that the scum of the family, that mediocre coward, had died in a clan mission.

"I only know now that he is dead, but his curse has become a reality," said the old man, glancing up at Locke with a look of despair and anger that terrified him. "I hope that one day, when you are about to die, you will have the courage to tell your enemy that your cousin was like that, at least not in hell."

Locke was stunned and at a loss.

The old man no longer paid any attention to him. Instead, he turned to the black-robed man and said gently, "Jim, accompany me to visit the Gaia clan. Prepare a generous gift." "It seems like tonight is destined to be a sleepless night."

The black-robed man bowed.

The Gaudia family was situated on a small hill.

The walls were extremely tall. It was simply like a city within a city.

The old man slowly alighted from the carriage, supported by the black-robed Jim. He struggled to lift his head up and look at the family plaque that was obviously quite old. He put on a mocking smile and said to Jim, "The founder of the Gaudia clan must be a very insecure person. No wonder the Gaudia clan hasn't become the number one clan in Wind City for so many years."

Jim smiled and handed over the card.

Soon, the two of them were escorted to the Gaudia clan's main hall.

This was not a main hall.

The old man didn't seem to care about these things as he walked to the guest seat and sat down.

Not long later, a smiling old man appeared in the hall.

"I'm sorry, Ma Ke!" The head of our family just happened to have something to attend to and was not at home, so he could only let me entertain you.

It's fine, your family is big, so of course you're very busy, "the elder from the Fei Li family, who was called Ma Ke, smiled and replied," Elder Xi Ma, I came this time for a request. Ah, if I didn't really run into some trouble, I wouldn't have come to the Gao Adi family for help. It really is because of the pressure from the Murters' clan. "

"What is it? The Murters' family destroyed your shop?! " "This is too outrageous! How could one of the seven great clans do such a thing that would hinder the order of the Wind City? My Gao Yadian clan definitely would not tolerate such a thing happening again. Clan Head Ma, rest assured, I will definitely report this to the clan leader. When the clan head returns, he will definitely go to the Moutes clan and demand justice for you!"

A look of deep gratitude appeared on the face of the elder from the Fei Li family, "Thank you for your assistance, elder Sima. As long as Ma Ke is alive, the Fei Li family will be the most loyal ally of the Gao Yardi family. But …" The old man suddenly looked troubled. "Tomorrow is the competition between my grandson Daley and the young genius of the Beetle clan, Phias. What do you think?"

"En, we can't let the Beetle Family get the upper hand. I'll send a notice tonight to get the leader to come back as soon as possible. After all, the matter with the Fei Li Family is more urgent than the matter with my family. Don't worry, Ma Ke."

"In that case, I'll have to thank Elder Sima!"

The two old men stared at each other.

His eyes revealed a deep sense of fraternity.

"Sima, you've seen this Daly from the Philip family, is he really a genius?" After the old man left, an old man with a similar appearance to West Horse walked out from the back hall.

Elder Sima didn't feel it was strange at all. It was obvious that he already knew of this person's existence. "His talent is pretty good. It's just a pity that he was born in such a clan."

"Rhine is visiting the Beetle Family at night, it seems like he has completely joined that faction," an old man walked out from the back hall and sat in the seat of honor, and then Simma sat down beside him, "If you pay such a high price, then you should be able to get back some good stuff. This Fei Li Family, I'm afraid they are in trouble."

"Then why did you agree to stick up for Ferry tomorrow, and even invite the master of the Morgan family with you? Isn't that making a big deal out of nothing? I'm guessing the Moutes' family will probably have to put their revenge on Daly. Is it possible that they really killed Ferry's family?" Elder Sima had a disdainful look on his face.

The old man was silent for a moment, "Rhine can still live, so the Philip family will not live for long." I just can't let them die too quickly, I have to make those guys from the military rush around for a while, if I can lose a little, then I'll earn it, "the old man suddenly let out a laugh, his jumping thinking made Sima unable to keep up with his tempo," You didn't see that, Ma Ke's gift was really thick, if we don't get it now, it might just be someone else's! "

Elder Sima was stunned on the spot, but the old man was too lazy to continue speaking.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow will be the start of the true good show. It is still a little too early to say anything now …"
