Chapter 490 The Troubles of the Davis Family (Ⅰ)

Joan listened to the story of Clark Heinier, the frost giant, about his relationship with the Davis family, and felt that good people have good rewards. Unavoidably, a doubt arose, and he hesitated before asking him:

"Mr. Hainier, you are the first frost giant I have come into contact with in reality, but your words and deeds are completely incompatible with the descriptions of frost giants I read in books. Savage, much less evil."

"To be honest, if you go back three years, I was a more savage and evil guy than the frost giants you read in books, but that's all in the past."

"Brother Joan, people will always grow. During my trip to the Far East of the Old Continent two years ago, I experienced some things and was deeply touched. Since then, I have decided to make some changes..."

There was a hint of bitterness in Clark Heinier's smile, as if he had fallen into memory, and his eyes became extremely sad.

After being dazed for a long time, he sighed, and then said to Joan: "No one in the world is born voluntarily. We can't choose our own origin and growth environment. When we are young and ignorant, we will inevitably be affected by the environment, unconsciously. We may pick up some bad habits from time to time, but this does not prevent us from reflecting and trying to become a better person."

Clarke's emotions reminded Joan of his own life experience.

Just as Clark did not voluntarily reincarnate as a frost giant, he was also implanted with "strange blood" in a completely passive situation.

In order to overcome the cruel nature of the frost giants, Clark made a lot of efforts and tried to get along with humans in a friendly way. However, when he walked into a human town, he was still blinded and discriminated against.

Qiao An also put in a lot of effort to overcome the eccentric and surly nature that originated from the strange blood. She suppressed her disgust and participated in social activities.

The similar mental journey narrowed the distance between him and Clark, and made him feel that the big friend he met during the journey was worth making friends with sincerity.

Allen bounced and led the way, climbed up the stairs, stopped outside the study door on the second floor, turned around and beckoned Joan and Clark to follow.

Clark stepped forward to knock on the door, and an old voice came from the room.

"Come in!"

Joan could hear the anger in the old man's voice, frowned slightly, and followed Clark into the house.

An old man in an old military uniform was arranging guns at the desk. His temples were already gray and his waist was still straight. He could vaguely see the heroic appearance of when he was a cavalry officer when he was young.

"Dad, long time no see, how are you?" Clark greeted with a smile.

"Clark, my boy, welcome home."

The old man Gordon Davis put the magic crystal shotgun in his hand on the table, wiped the gun oil on his hands with a handkerchief, strode forward to hug the frost giant, and then shook hands with Joan, looking very happy. Be a gentleman.

"Sit down, children, Minna will bring black tea and snacks right away, by the way, if you are allergic to lawyers, you'd better stay away from that armchair."

Clark looked at the armchair by the fireplace, and asked old man Gordon in surprise, "Father, Aunt Minna just said that you were talking to a lawyer. It doesn't sound like you guys had a good chat?"

"These damned years, lawyers have become mercenary! I asked him to consult a business dispute, but he was lucky. When he heard that I wanted to sue Henry Baldwin, he immediately changed his face and didn't bother. It’s okay to think about how to help me win the lawsuit, and try to speak for Baldwin in different ways, as if the person who paid him for consultation was not me, but Henry Baldwin!”

The old man snorted coldly, with an angry look on his face.

"Clark, I'll wager that our venerable lawyer, as soon as he walked out of my house, got into his carriage and flew straight to Henry Baldwin's house to tip off the news! Pooh! Eat dog food!"

"Father, please calm down and tell us what happened from the beginning." Clark patted the old man on Gordon's shoulder to comfort him.

It just so happened that Mrs. Minna brought refreshments at this time. Gordon Davis didn't want his wife to see him lose his composure, lest she be frightened, so he pretended to be calm and greeted Clark and Joanne for tea and snacks, and asked Joanne's whereabouts by the way. Origin. Knowing that he is a high-achieving student at Leiden College, his attitude towards him adds a bit of respect.

Joan saw that the old man intended to keep him to stay in his house for a few more days, and helped his little grandson Alan Davis make up a supplementary class to ensure that he would pass the Leiden College Preparatory Examination next year.

Joan had a good impression of the Davis family, but it was a pity that he was in a hurry to go to Midgard, and it was inconvenient to stay in House Town for a long time, so he could only disappoint the old man.

Mrs. Minna reminded the old man to remember to take the medicine on time, go to bed early, and then left the study.

Gordon Davis closed the door, turned around and got down to business.

"This matter has to start from last spring, Clark. Not long after you left Howse Town, old Pym passed away. His son and daughter-in-law had already decided to move to the city to settle down. The ranch is listed for sale.”

The old man turned his head to look at Joan, and explained a few more words to him.

"Pim's family has been running the ranch for generations, and the number of horses raised is second only to my family, and they are the second largest ranchers in the town."

"Our Davis family and Pim's family may be competitors in the business field, but after all, we have been fellow villagers for many years, and our friendship has always been good."

"I heard that little Pim was going to sell the ranch, so I talked to him and planned to buy the ranch. Unfortunately, little Pym asked too high a price, and he didn't agree to credit. Let this thing go."

"After about a week later, I suddenly got news that Pym's ranch had been sold. The seller was a foreigner named Henry Baldwin. He was not yet 40 years old, but he sold it for quite a while Generous, he accepted the price offered by little Pym without any compromise, and wrote a check for 50,000 Gold Duga on the spot, and the largest trading firm in Prince Port guarantees the endorsement and pays at sight!"

Old Gordon's face was gloomy.

"Hey! This Baldwin is really rich! At such a young age, he is unlikely to save such a huge sum of money by himself. Could he be the heir to the estate of a big man in the city?" Clark said in surprise. ask.

"I am very familiar with the upper-class circles in Port-Prince. There is no nobleman with the surname 'Baldwin'. This Henry Baldwin is very mysterious. I have no way of knowing his origin after many inquiries, but an old friend revealed to me in private, Baldwin became very close to General Isaac Hooker, an unusually close relationship."

Old man Gordon answered in a low voice.
