1114 Who Is Afraid of Whom?

Because Lynch has been out during this period, Anna did not spend the night at Lynch's villa today and returned home.

The huge restaurant is like a medieval nobleman's castle, but the decoration inside is not very luxurious.

It's like a gathering place. There are long tables in the wide space. There are two benches on both sides of the long table. The people of the Akin family gather here to eat.

The Arkin family claims to be a noble, so they also have a noble tradition.

Everyone, no matter what, must eat here as long as they are at home.

Including Mr. Pattu.

Mr. Pattu sat on the middle table, taking the master's position. His brothers and sisters sat on both sides of him, like uncles and aunts, sitting on other tables.

Those people are too old and have given up their power. They have left the core of power of the Akin family, and naturally they are not qualified to sit in the most visible position.

At the same time, as Mr. Patu's elders, they are not willing to look at the face of a junior while eating. They have been tired for a lifetime and it is time to rest.

Only those in power are qualified to sit at Mr. Pattu's table.

Other juniors are sitting on the table on the left side of this table. There are juniors who have attracted much attention. They represent the next era of the family. As long as Mr. Pattu steps down as the head of the family, these people will become the core of this dinner. .

The entire restaurant is like a big canteen, with something rigid and serious everywhere.

As usual, after Mr. Pattu picked up the knife and fork and enjoyed tonight's main course, people could use the knife and fork. Before that, they could do nothing.

Can't eat, can't drink, can't make a sound, can only sit.

It’s just that something seems a little wrong with today’s process. Mr. Patu did not pick up the knife and fork to enjoy today’s good roast chicken and praise the chef’s cooking skills. Instead, he pointed to the last few vacant seats on this table and said, “ Anna, sit over here."

For a moment, Anna, who was sitting at the front of the table on the left, had a blank mind. She just stood up subconsciously, bowed to her brothers and sisters at the same table, then came to the table where Mr. Patu was, and sat at the end. The last seat.

Almost everyone is paying attention to the changes here. Mr. Patu's actions indicate that Anna is one step closer to the "end"!

If Mr. Patu and the family's ancestral precepts hadn't made such a "deep" impression on people, maybe someone would have started talking in low voices at this time.

At this time, the restaurant was still so quiet, so quiet that the only sounds that could be heard were the whirring sounds of bellows being pulled rapidly.

Anna bowed again to everyone at the table before sitting down, which was the required etiquette.

It is precisely because of these people around this table that the family can be as glorious as it is now, but next time, she will not need to salute, because she has become "one of her own".

Mr. Patu then picked up the knife and fork, cut a piece of steaming meat from the roasted chicken leg, put it in his mouth, chewed it nine times, and then swallowed it.

Then he picked up the napkin and dipped it into the non-existent oil stain on the corner of his mouth. He turned around and smiled and thanked the cooks standing aside, "A very delicious dinner, thank you."

The chefs bowed and lined up to leave. Immediately afterwards, the restaurant became lively. The movements of people while eating made a lot of noise even if no one spoke.

No one eats at dinner unless he/she/it has something important enough, but apparently no one has very important news today.

Everyone was holding back a lot of questions. They didn't know why Anna could sit at that table. They wanted to ask what happened, but they couldn't open their mouths. They all looked very uncomfortable.

Today's dinner was probably the shortest during this period. Soon the young people left the table, bowed to Mr. Patu's table and left the restaurant.

One after another, they wanted too much to know what was going on.

Until the end, Mr. Patu and Anna were the only ones left in the restaurant.

Every sound in an empty room echoes like ripples on a narrow surface of water.

Mr. Patu put down his knife and fork and looked at Anna.

"It's so strange..."

Mr. Patu wiped his fingertips with a wet wipe. He looked at Anna sitting opposite him, "The time, events, timing, everything is too coincidental!"

"You have to understand that when all the coincidences come together, it's not a coincidence!"

"I know you young people like to watch those messy TV series, when the heroine and the hero can get pregnant just by sleeping together..."

"Then this is an elaborate trap and it's not a coincidence."

"Help me make an appointment with Lynch, I want to talk to him in private!"

"I don't want the fourth person to know about this!"

The first time he spoke, Anna put down her knife and fork, lowered her head slightly to express her surrender, and listened carefully.

After she heard what Mr. Patu said, although she didn't understand what he meant, she still expressed that she would do what Mr. Patu said.

Sometimes in such a big family, one remains indifferent to everyone. That's the best way.

You can't be enthusiastic about your children just because you are the head of the family, or give them more resources or better resources. That will only continue to pile up conflicts until they finally break out completely.

Not treating these people as your own children is the simplest way. It treats everyone the same. This is limited justice, but at least, he is fair!

Then Anna knew that she could stand up and say goodbye. She put down her knife and fork, cleaned her face and hands, stood up and bowed slightly to Mr. Patu and saluted, "A very delicious dinner, father."

After Mr. Patu nodded slightly in return, Anna left quickly.

After a few more minutes, he stood up, looked at the restaurant where he was the only one left, and turned to leave expressionlessly.

The next day, Anna came to the villa full of doubts. Fortunately, it was just doubts and not experience.

"My father wants to talk to you privately." Anna directly stated the commission she had accepted without going around in circles.

Lynch was not surprised at all, and Mr. Pattu could tell that he was not surprised. It was like an old hunter standing downwind to know if there was prey upwind.

Some things cannot be hidden, such as smells, traces of actions, and even behavioral inertia driven by animal instincts.

So does the market.

There are so many coincidences and non-coincidences, how could Mr. Patu, who specializes in resource business, not notice these problems.

Moreover, he is also the CEO of Xingmengdie Consortium. He has a keen sense of changes in the entire market, and he has discovered some problems.

More importantly, Lynch was "curious" not long ago and asked some somewhat sensitive questions.

He can guess it, that’s not surprising!

Lynch responded in the affirmative and agreed on a time.

A few days later, in the evening, two people were sitting on a small boat on the artificial lake outside the city.

There were only two of them here, but neither of them had a fishing rod.

Lynch doesn't like fishing. He doesn't like wasting his limited time on fishing. He can understand the game between man and fish and the joy brought by winning the game, but he just doesn't like this time-wasting sport.

So the two of them just sat on the boat, facing each other, like fools.

"I should bring a fishing rod. Even if I don't fish, at least it looks better." Lynch started to warm up, and his opening remarks made Mr. Patu smile more.

This stereotypical guy rarely shows his emotions, and then the feeling of "he seems to be smiling" disappears, leaving only his normal appearance.

"Okay, our time is limited, can we skip this section?"

After receiving Lynch's affirmation, Mr. Patu asked directly, "You plan to take action against Baiyin, right?"

Lynch neither admitted nor denied, "Why do you think that?"

"Because an open-pit gold mine was discovered in Nagaril!"

"You are not in this business. You may not understand how sensitive we are to these things. The price of gold fell immediately after the gold mine was discovered."

"This has deepened people's concerns about gold. Silver's momentum is so strong, you have to raise the price of silver!"

"The better and faster silver goes up, the more disappointed people become with gold, and vice versa."

"More funds will flow from gold to silver, and you still plan to take action on silver."

Lynch was not surprised to hear Mr. Patu's analysis. Many people could analyze such results. What he was curious about was not here, but...

"why me?"

Mr. Patu looked at Lynch, "Among the people I know, you are the only one who best matches my guess."

"Lynch, not everyone dares to step on the tightrope and dance. I talked to you about this last time. You are making an enemy of the world."

"Perhaps there are more than 10 billion of funds in the market now. If you want to leverage it, those people will cost you your life."

Lynch shook his head after listening, "People always think on the bright side when considering the choices they make, just like me, no matter how radical it is, I will feel that I am successful."

"When looking at other people's choices, they tend to be too conservative and always feel that the possibility of failure will be greater."

"We can't just see risks and not talk about profits. Mr. Patu, you should understand that the greater the risk..."

Mr. Patu continued, almost without pausing, “The greater the reward!”

Lynch nodded, "Yes, 10 billion. Even if I can only put 5% of it in my pocket, it is worth the risk."

"As for whether you are considering whether anyone will hurt me through other methods..."

Lynch pursed his lips and thought for a while, then said with a smile, "I will become a danger to them before they become a danger to me!"
