Chapter 517 Come to the Door
Ripple smiled and rejected Rodman's matchmaking. For a woman who didn't care about Lian, Ripple decisively refused on behalf of the original person. She would not bring bad luck to the original person.
"I understand, then do you still want to go to the trial with Leia?"
"Just trying it out together won't have any impact. Besides, it's not just the two of us."
Lianyi must leave Lava City, firstly for the trial, secondly to check whether there is any problem with the fantasy beast, and thirdly to meet Bai Feng, so she will definitely not give up this opportunity to go out for Leia. of.
"Okay, just make your own decision."
Rodman feels that his youngest son has grown up, not only in terms of strength but also in character, which makes him very happy.
When Rodman was about to explain a few words, the housekeeper walked in, saluted respectfully and said:
"Sir, the heads of the five families in the city, Heni, Sawyer, Ladi, Senluo, and Dilan, came to visit and said they wanted to see Master Lian."
"They came to see Lian?"
Rodman asked rhetorically.
"Yes, sir!"
"Invite them in!"
Rodman said calmly.
After the housekeeper left, Rodman asked about his youngest son:
"Do you know why they want to see you?"
"Maybe it's to apologize to me!"
Lianyi knew what was going on, but it was not appropriate to tell the truth at this time, so she just explained casually.
When the five heads of the Heni, Sawyer, Ladi, Senluo, and Dilan families entered the hall, they saw Rodman with silver hair and purple eyes, and Lian with a plain face beside him. The five of them looked at each other and felt that they had been there before. The agreed-upon remarks were somewhat inappropriate, and in the end it was Hurney who asked Rodman first.
As the head of the family, Connor Rodman has absolute authority in Lava City. Although he is polite to the people of these small families, his attitude is also distant.
"Lian, come here and meet the heads of the family."
Rodman said to his son who was standing straight.
"Lian has met all the family heads!"
Ripple gave a junior salute and then retreated to his seat.
"Lian, did you do something wrong? I asked the five family heads to come specially to see you."
Rodman sat in the front seat and asked in a calm tone.
"Father, I think the heads of the family apologized to me on behalf of their children."
Ripple opened his eyes and told lies.
As soon as his words came out, the five family heads were a little confused, but Rodman asked:
"Lian, are you having a conflict with your friends?"
His tone was very casual, as if it didn't matter even if there was a conflict.
"They said in front of me that I was an illegitimate child and that I was not qualified to inherit the Rodman family."
What Ripple said was the truth.
Rodman frowned slightly after hearing this, but the expressions of the five family heads headed by Henny changed, and they seemed to realize something again, and they all looked straight at Ripple.
"Then how did you deal with it?"
Rodman continued to ask.
"What can I do? Stop playing with them! People like this who listen to rumors and slander me are not worthy of being friends with me. I haven't seen them for two months. They probably know that I want to go out for training and want to I followed the trial team of the Rodman family, so I asked the elders to come and apologize."
Ripple said in a calm tone, perfectly expressing the young man's arrogance and disdain.
"Master Lian, you said you haven't seen them for two months?"
The head of the Herney family asked hurriedly.
"Yes! They insisted that I was an illegitimate child. I came back to ask my father for confirmation, and then I never saw them again."
Ripple said calmly.
"But the children of five of our families have been missing for ten days."
"Missing?"
Lianyi raised her eyebrows, and then she seemed to understand. She raised her eyebrows and said angrily:
"Uncle Herney means that their disappearance has something to do with me? Do you have any evidence?"
"this"
Henny came to see Lian because he had no evidence. He wanted to get some information from Lian, a child who was inexperienced in the world. However, he did not expect to alarm the head of the Rodman family, and Lian did not hide anything about her relationship with their child. The state of breaking off diplomatic relations made it impossible for them to do anything.
"You were seen heading out of town with them."
Henny said unwillingly.
"Who saw it? What day?"
Lianyi's expression remained unchanged and she asked directly.
I don’t know if the people on the other side really have the exact information, or if they want to deceive Lian. After hearing the other party’s questions, the five heads of the Dilan family mentioned a time, which happened to be the afternoon of the day when Ripple and Leia Hani met.
"Oh, I don't know who is playing tricks on you. I didn't leave home at all that day because Miss Leia from the Hani family came. She wanted to team up with me for training. That day was our first official meeting. She was As a distinguished guest of the Rodman family, how could I go out that day?"
Lianyi looked like you are really ridiculous and told the story of meeting the distinguished guest that day.
Because he was very sure that those five people had bad intentions and would definitely not let anyone know that they were going to see Lian. In addition, what she heard when she took over Lian's body, and Emilio, the elder brother who wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone. Help Lian cover up his whereabouts, and he returned in time to meet Leia. These people were all her witnesses, so she was confident.
"I am deeply sorry that your child is missing, and I will cooperate with you to help find him. Now that you have asked Lian, please come back!"
Rodman said in a cold tone.
The five people had no choice but to say goodbye and leave. After all, they had no evidence. It was already very rude to come to ask questions rashly. If they really offended the Rodman family to death, they would not be easy.
After the five people left, Rodman waved the guards present to get down. After everyone left, he said:
"Lian, tell me the truth, where are those five people?"
"If you were killed by me, you should have become food in the mouths of the monsters in the dark forest."
Ripple didn't hide anything and told the truth directly.
Rodman's expression remained unchanged and he directly asked the reason, and Ripple simply told what happened.
"You used La Ye's badge to get in and out of the city, but La Ye was in the house that day. This was a loophole. I will help you make up for it later."
Rodman said calmly.
"Thank you father!"
"Why didn't you tell the truth in front of them just now?"
"I'm about to leave. One more thing is worse than one less thing. Although the five of them are small families, it would be bad if they unite because of their son and create obstacles for the Rodman family."
"You are quite thoughtful. You should be more vigilant in the future, otherwise you will be the one who loses your life next time."
"Father, I have learned a lesson once, and the same thing will never happen a second time."
"Okay, go get ready!"
Rodman sent his son away, and his face darkened only when no one was in sight.
A few rubbish from a small family with mediocre qualifications actually dared to scheme against their own son. This time, Lian was lucky and escaped with her own skills, but the goddess of luck would not always stand by her son's side.
