Chapter 410: Collapse

dong dong dong!

dong dong dong! !

There was a hurried knock on the door.

Melkenson, who was tired and groggy, heard the short voice, his brain was aching, and he had no strength to open his eyelids, and instinctively frowned. The escort didn't sleep until very late, and drank a lot of alcohol. Although he drank the hangover medicine afterwards, he was still a little uncomfortable because of the stamina of the alcohol. Hearing this violent voice at this moment, I couldn't tell the irritability in my heart.

He raised his hand, pinched the bridge of his nose, and sighed, knowing that if he could knock on the door so quickly, something must have happened.

Sitting up from the bed, he raised his hand slightly, and the maid next to him handed him the warm and wet towel that he had prepared. He wiped his face and breathed lightly, "Is it Shaya, come in."

The maid at the door pulled the door back, and the door was pushed open immediately. Melshaya hurried in and saw her tired father sitting on the bed. But he still said quickly, "Father, something has happened!"

"Speak slowly." Melkenson's face sank slightly, he stood up, and the maid next to him immediately stepped forward to wait and get dressed.

Melshaya quickly handed out the newspaper in her hand and said, "Father, look."

Melkenson took the newspaper and swept it, and immediately saw the striking title on it. In an instant, he was still a little tired before, and he was stunned and stood on the spot as if struck by lightning.

Melshaya didn't expect that her calm father's reaction was bigger than her own. She was startled, and she was a little nervous and uneasy, and said: "Father, shouldn't you have sent someone to do this? If not. , you said that with the insidious personality of that kid, will this matter be smeared on us?"

Melkenson gradually came back to his senses, and said, "Is there Commander Runcorn, let him come to see me."

"Commander Runcorn?" Melshaya was a little dazed, and suddenly thought of something, her face changed, and said, "Father, it should, shouldn't it be..."

Melkenson interrupted her roughly, "I asked you if he was there?!"

"I, I'm going to ask the housekeeper." Melshaya was startled, her father had never been so cruel to her since she was a child, even if she made mistakes before and screwed up a list worth 100,000 gold coins in the family At the time, she didn't say a word to her, and even comforted her, but she also realized the seriousness of the matter, and immediately turned around and ran out.

After a while, Melshaya returned with a pale face,

Said: "Father, Commander Runcorn... is not here."

Melkenson had just put on his clothes, and when he heard the words, his eyes darkened, his body swayed, and he almost fainted.

"Father, father, is this really what Commander Runcorn did?" Melshaya's lips trembled slightly and said, "Why, did you send it? If it was him, the newspaper said that the murderer The assassination failed, and he was killed by his squire, this, this will be investigated on our heads sooner or later..."

Melkenson stood there in a daze, his brain buzzing, he couldn't hear what his daughter was saying at all, boundless despair shrouded in his heart, he had fallen many times in his life, but never had such a big somersault!

"Runcorn betrayed me? No, he won't betray me. If he was really bought, and now his life is lost, what's the use of more money..." Melkenson's chaotic thoughts gradually recovered, It became clearer and clearer in his mind, and suddenly he wanted to understand what was going on. The thief shouted to catch the thief, it was just such a simple method, and he actually fell into the trap! !

His fists were clenched tightly, trembling slightly with too much force, and his fingernails sank deep into his palms unconsciously.

When he allowed Runcorn to pass by, although he considered this point, he did not consider it carefully. After all, with Runcorn's strength, there are not many people in the outer wall area who want to keep him, and there are even more people who want to assassinate him. Less, otherwise he would not be able to serve as the knight commander, defending their Mel family for so many years.

Moreover, he understands the strength of the attendants around Du Dian. Only two of them are a threat to Runcorn. They are both people who were bailed out by Du Di'an from the Thorn Flower Prison. However, with Runcorn's skills, even if he loses to these two, he can Bao retreated, but he would die directly in Du Di'an's castle. It can only be said that the other party had ambushed a trap from the beginning, waiting for him to come to the door.

The so-called acquisition is just a pretense.

He also tried to take this opportunity to let Runcorn get rid of Du Di'an. Even if he couldn't get rid of Du Di'an, he could take this opportunity to get important information to deal with them from Du Di'an's mouth, so as to fight back. Unexpectedly, this is a dead move. Was directly general!

"Father, father!" Melshaya cried when she saw him in a trance.

Melkenson took a deep breath and said to her: "Don't tell your grandfather about this, he can't stand this blow, besides, you immediately call Melk and Mels back and ask everyone to come over, Get ready for a family meeting, move money, be quick!"

Melshaya was shocked and said, "Father, what did you say? Transfer funds? You, are you trying to..."

"That's right, the Mel family is finished." Melkensen's eyes showed a cold killing intent, and said: "But it will not die out, one day, we will rise again, and now we must use the minimum ,Reduce losses."

Melshaya only felt a thunderclap and she was a little stunned. In her mind, the Mel family, who was known to everyone in the business district, was like the nobles among the nobles. already? The Mel family, who had been standing at the top for decades, was about to fade away overnight?

"Father!" Melshaya looked at Melkenson unacceptably and said, "It's just an assassination, let's just put some money in the courthouse, and if it's a big deal, give them ten times the money and let them Just turn a blind eye and close your eyes. If we withdraw our capital, it will be too difficult for our Mel family to turn over again in the future. I don’t believe it. He is a newly promoted master. What about the commander? Let's just say, this is what Commander Runcorn did himself, what does it have to do with us?"

Melkenson frowned and scolded: "Bullshit! If we lose, we lose. This matter is that we underestimate the enemy, and repeatedly let him take advantage of the loopholes. Now there is no way to rely on money. Restored, assassinated the master, such a thing will alarm the Holy See of Light, according to the law agreed with them by the court, they have the right to send someone to participate in the investigation of the court!"

"The Holy See's short-term caregiver will definitely obey that kid's instructions and pour dirty water on us. There is no hope. Now the only hope is to rise again in the future!"

"But, but..." Melshaya was in pain and couldn't accept such a blow. She really wanted to act like an ordinary noble lady of the same age, but she still couldn't say some things, just let her accept such a Ruthless reality, too cruel to bear.

"Go!" Melkensen snarled.

Melshaya bit her lip, tears flowed from her crystal-like eyes, and fell down her beautiful cheeks. She reached out and wiped it, covered her lips, turned and ran out.

...

...

On the second floor, in the study.

"The word is wrong, copy it a hundred times." Du Dian threw the small book in his hand back to the boy, who was Gabriel he brought back, and said: "Not only must you be able to read, but also write, knowledge. More useful than a sword, you know?"

Gabriel bowed his head and said, "Understood, young master."

Du Dian nodded slightly, "Go."

Gabriel turned and left with his small notebook. Behind his figure, a small house built of countless small blocks was placed on the table. The little girl Hetka was lying on the table, cautiously with her hands. Stacked on the roof, a head of emerald green hair against a small face, as cute as a porcelain doll.

Du Dian got up and went over, sat down on the desk, smiled slightly, and said, "What is this?"

Hetka had a hint of cowardice towards him, shrank back, and said, "It's the house."

"Do you like this kind of house?"

"like."

Du Dian smiled slightly, stretched out his finger and flicked at the bottom of the house, a block flew out, and pushed the blocks next to it to move.

Hetka was stunned, looked at the scattered building blocks on the table, and looked at Du Dian in front of her. Her lips were flat and her eyes were red. She seemed to want to cry, but under Du Dian's smiling gaze, she did not dare to cry. When she came out, she cried out last time, and then her brother was punished for swinging his sword three thousand times, and at night his hands were so sore that he couldn't even hold a knife.

"It seems that your construction is not reliable enough." Du Di'an said.

Hetka pursed her lips, weeping with tears in her eyes.

"Let's do it again." Du Dian smiled slightly, "Don't be mad, if you build a mess, you will be punished."

Hetka flattened her mouth, sucked in a snot, sucked it back into her nasal cavity, raised her hand and continued to pick up the blocks and pile them up.
