Chapter 146

In the living room.

The maid brought several cups of hot tea and placed them in front of everyone, with meticulous movements and respectful gestures, which seemed well-trained.

Bud, Malinda and the three children were not used to it, so they quickly thanked them.

After the maid retreated, the housekeeper Mariel tactfully left the living room by tidying up everyone's room, and the family relaxed a little.

Bud picked up his teacup and took a sip.

He has never had any good tea, but he can still taste it. The tea in his hand tastes different, sweet and mellow, and the price must not be low.

He didn't speak, and the atmosphere was a little quiet. The three children sat side by side on the sofa, feeling very cramped.

Until Malinda broke the silence.

She has been observing her eldest son and asked, "Ren, how did you become like this? Not only have you grown taller, but you have also become stronger than before. Goddess, if you go home alone, I might kick you out."

"Haha..." Ren couldn't help laughing.

In his memory, his mother Malinda was a devout goddess believer, but also an optimistic woman. She was very kind to several children, had a cheerful personality, and usually liked to tell some jokes.

The father, Bud, plays the role of a strict father, making the children a little scared.

The husband and wife have complementary personalities and maintain the family.

Now that Malinda asked this, it showed that she already believed that she was Ren.

Ryan explained with seven points true and three points false: "Mom, many people will change after they become superhumans. My luck is very good, and I have integrated a very powerful element called 'Steel Body', so I have changed. With this appearance, no matter how many people want it, they will have no chance."

Ma Linda didn't understand this aspect, "What is that element so magical?"

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Brissett. He has been in the Transcendent Academy for half a year. He should have heard of it..." Before Renn finished speaking, Brissett exclaimed, "Man of Steel!"

"Ren, you actually have a transcendent element?"

His eyes were wide open, staring fixedly at Ren's face.

As if looking at it was not enough, he leaned forward curiously, pinched the skin on the back of Ren's hand, and observed it carefully, as if admiring a rare treasure.

"Goddess..." Brissett was amazed, "The Man of Steel turned out to be like this, and I actually saw it with my own eyes."

Ren let him observe.

Bud and Malinda also heard some clues from Brissett's tone.

"Brissett, tell us quickly."

"Okay, mother." Brissett let go of Ren's hand with some embarrassment, and then began to explain.

He has been in the Extraordinary Academy for half a year, and he has mastered a lot of basic knowledge about the Extraordinary. He is very interested in various elements, so he has heard about the Man of Steel for a long time.

Brissett's mind is very flexible, and his eloquence is also very good. He briefly introduced the level, rarity and strength of soul elements, and described the magic of the Man of Steel. Even Carlodi and Casey could understand up.

The way the family looked at Ren suddenly changed.

Bud and Malinda finally felt relieved.

"So it is." Malinda stood up, silently prayed to the goddess of magic, and finally said softly: "Goddess bless!"

Bud also nodded, with a bit of relief in his eyes.

He used to have high expectations for his eldest son, but he has gradually lost patience in the past few years. Now Renn is finally on the right track, integrating powerful elements, and has a bright future. As a father, he is very happy.

However, he was still a little puzzled.

A transcendent element may be very powerful, but Ren has only been a transcendent for half a year, and his level is definitely not high. How could he make so much money?

Bud couldn't help asking: "Ren, how did this house come about? Brissett also said that you are going to be canonized as a baron?"

"All of this is earned by it." Ren pointed to a phonograph in the living room.

Everyone looked at the gramophone.

In fact, they had already seen this furniture that looked like a morning glory. They didn't know what it was for, and they were curious, but they didn't have the nerve to ask.

Even Brissett didn't understand. He had heard this new thing mentioned by his classmates, but he hadn't seen it with his own eyes.

Ren got up to start the phonograph, and a burst of pleasant music sounded.

The whole family is fascinated.

It wasn't until the entire song was played that Rain cut off the music to explain to them.

He had already thought up his words. After he left home, he devoted himself to research for several months in Longshande and invented the phonograph. Viola then discovered the potential of the phonograph. She sponsored him to perform the soul transformation ceremony and become a superhuman. .

After that, he cooperated with Viola, presented the gramophone to the Duke of Silver Star, and established the Silver Star Records Company.

The Duke of Silver Star was also very optimistic about the phonograph, and rewarded him with a large sum of money, and decided to confer himself a title of baron.

This explanation is true or false, Ren is not afraid of being discovered by his family.

Whether it is the Abyss Gate incident or the establishment and operation of Silver Star Records, neither the family members have the opportunity to come into contact with it, and it is almost impossible to be exposed.

Telling the truth will only cause them unnecessary worries and doubts about themselves.

Although Bud and Malinda are still a little unreal that their son can actually invent a magical phonograph, but the facts are in front of them, and they have to believe it.

Ren also tried his best to imitate the tone and posture of the previous Ren, which made them let down their guard.

Unknowingly, that familiar feeling came back.

At noon, Ryan had already asked the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous lunch. At the dining table, he deliberately said something about the past, subtly making the family think that he was the old Ryan and had not changed.

in the afternoon.

The butler, Mariel, brought two senior tailors to the door and customized several sets of clothes for each of the family, including formal clothes, everyday casual clothes, evening dresses and so on.

The price of each set of clothes is in units of gold shields, which made the family speechless.

In the evening, Ren took his family to the most upscale restaurant in the Silver Star District and enjoyed an expensive and delicious dinner, which opened the eyes of the family.

After dinner, take a carriage back to the villa.

Today's experience made the family realize what life of aristocrats is like. Bud and Malinda are still reserved, but the three younger siblings are very excited.

Ren saw his father Bud hesitate to speak, and said, "Brissett, take Kalodi and Casey upstairs and take a look at your own room."

"Okay, come with me quickly." Brissett reacted quickly, and pulled her younger brother and younger sister upstairs.

Sitting down on the sofa, Renn looked at Bud after the tea maid left.

"Father?"

Bud hesitated for a while, and said with a serious face: "Ren, I am surprised that you have achieved such a great achievement now, but I am also happy for you."

Ren nodded and continued to listen.

"You spent so much money to buy this house, do you want me and your mother to move to the city?" Bud asked seriously.

"I have this idea." Ren replied truthfully.

But Bud shook his head, "We have lived in Eagle Marsh all our lives, and we don't want to leave. Life in the city is good, and there are servants to serve us, but we have been civilians for decades, and it is very difficult to suddenly become nobles. If you adapt, I'm afraid you will only be laughed at."

"Besides, I can't let go of the grain and oil mill in the town. Your mother still wants to continue to be a teacher."

Malinda, who was sitting next to her, also nodded.

Ren didn't take it seriously, and suddenly asked: "Father, how much money does your mill make a year?" Before Bud could answer, he began to guess, "Fifty gold shields, or sixty? You know that dinner just now?" How much is the bill?"

Bud shook his head, he didn't see Ren pay.

"How much?"

Ren replied softly, "Thirty gold shields."

"What!" Bud almost jumped up, eating thirty gold shields for a meal, which was half a year's profit from his mill. Just now I thought the dinner was delicious and the service was very attentive, but now I suddenly feel distressed.

Malinda was also terrified, covering her mouth and being speechless.

Ren laughed and said, "I don't mean to scare you, but I just want you to know what the life of an aristocrat looks like. With my current income, I can fully support such a high expenditure. You can completely let it go Live in Longshande."

"It's just the beginning now. After the Silver Star Records company spreads in the empire, my income will only be higher."

"Twenty percent of the record company's income is enough for you to live without worry for the rest of your life."

"Brissett can enter a better Transcendent Academy, hire the best swordsmanship teacher, buy him alchemy potions, and increase the possibility of becoming a Transcendent."

"Carlodi and Casey will invest a large sum of gold shields in the future to cultivate them."

"It all costs a lot of money, and I can afford it."

"Father, if you want to grow our family, you can no longer guard the grain and oil mill in the town." Ren suddenly said, "Father, I know you have always wanted to own a ranch of your own. Outside the city, I bought a small ranch for you and invested a total of 5,000 gold shields, whether you can make money or not depends on your ability."

"Callodie and Kathy, I've got the best tutors for them too."

Ren looked at Marinda again, "Mother, your duty is to manage the house well so that father doesn't have to worry about his younger siblings. If there is anything you don't understand, Mariel will help you."

Both Bud and Malinda were dumbfounded.

Ren had already arranged everything for them. Apart from being surprised, he also felt quite stressed, and was a little afraid of facing such a big challenge.

The couple looked at each other for a moment, and finally nodded.

Ren smiled secretly. He has worked so hard to pay so much, not only to compensate them, but also to let parents have something to do and divert their attention.

Lest they be suspicious all day long and try to figure out their own changes.

"By the way," he asked suddenly, "Father, do you have any suggestions for the family name?"

Bud froze for a few moments, then sighed: "Our family used to be civilians, and we have no background. You are the one to be made a baron, so it's up to you to decide."

"Okay, then I'll think of one."

Ren agreed. He had thought about several surnames recently, but he hadn't decided yet.

That night, the family slept in the villa.

The next afternoon, Ren was chatting with his parents in the living room, and Brissett also came back from Clayton College, taking his younger siblings to fight in the martial arts training ground behind.

The sound of a car sounded outside.

Butler Mariel came in and said, "Sir, Ms. Viola is here to visit."

Behind him, Viola followed through the door.

As soon as she appeared, Bud and Malinda were stunned. They had heard about this lady from Rennes, and knew that she was the great-granddaughter of the Duke of Silver Star, the owner of the record company, with a very distinguished status, a big shot in Longshande, and a great favor to Rennes.

Rennes cannot achieve what he is today without the support of this lady.

However, they never thought that Ms. Viola was so beautiful.

Ma Linda sighed softly: "Goddess!"

Bud was also dumbfounded, he only glanced at it, and then quickly looked away, for fear that his impolite behavior would offend the lady.

Ren got up and introduced to both parties.

Viola did not show any intimacy with Ren, but just nodded to the two, "Mr. Bard, Ms. Malinda, meeting for the first time."

Behind her followed a maid who presented gifts to the two of them.

They still wanted to reach out to pick it up, but luckily the housekeeper, Mariel, took the gift for them a step ahead, so he was not rude.

Viola just came to show up, sat down and talked for a few minutes, and then said goodbye. Before leaving, she only winked at Renn quietly, with a smile in her eyes.

After she left, Bud and Malinda breathed a sigh of relief.

This lady is so beautiful, and her attitude is very kind. For some reason, when talking to her, she feels a little subtle, as if she cares about herself. Is this the cultivation of a real noble?

Seeing their uneasy attitude, Ren couldn't help laughing secretly.

If the parents knew the true relationship between him and Viola, they would probably be too frightened to speak, doubting his identity.

In the next two days, the guests came to the door in turn as if they had arranged it.

Keneji came to visit and sent someone to send a car as a gift for Ren's new home. Driss also visited once, and Ren bought the ranch from his family, so they got in touch again recently.

Under the instruction of Viscount Perry, Dries had to establish a good relationship with Ren.

Driss had already returned to the Demon Squad, and he told Pollock about Ryan. That afternoon, Pollock and Frieda also came.

Every time he meets a guest, Ryan will introduce him to his parents.

When Bud and Malinda heard the identities of these guests, they gradually realized that Ryan was really promising in Longshande.

Ren not only has a relationship with the lady of the Duke family, but also the vice president of the Mechanical Union and the members of the Demon Slayer. Each of them has a lot of background, but when facing Ren, they all use equality. He communicated with his attitude, even being polite to himself.

Originally, Bud was still a little worried, but now he no longer has any doubts. He just waited for the knighting ceremony to start running his own ranch.
