Chapter 118 Gunter, Kane, Nott
·
Wo Bu Geng Xin
Ryan Kane looked at the boy in front of him with complicated emotions.
The hatred passed down from generation to generation made him have no affection for the boy in front of him.But the current situation they are facing now leaves him with no more choices.
In fact, when he said that sentence, he already regretted it.Facing the situation where he was besieged from all sides, he shouldn't have complained like this.After all, everything is made by myself.
But it's no use regretting.
Looking at the boy's indifferent and distant expression, he also knew that a bad first impression had already been made, and it was useless to say more now.
Of course, if you want to soften your attitude now, although it may seem condescending, it is still a good decision. At least knowing current affairs is not a bad characteristic.
But...he couldn't soften up after all.
"Let me introduce, this is Miss Gemma Farley, my assistant."
Seeing that Ryan Kane was caught in a tangle that was visible to the naked eye, Luke was a little curious instead.
The reason for the other party's unreasonable hatred towards him is actually not hard to guess.It is nothing more than the various grievances and grievances of the previous generations or more than a dozen generations of ancestors.
Such things are not uncommon among ordinary people, let alone nobles who regard inheritance as extremely important?
Maybe your ancestors more than ten generations ago conflicted with the ancestors of another family more than ten generations ago. In order to ensure the legitimacy of inheritance, many times.The heirs of the next generation and each other have become natural objects of conflict.
Passed down from generation to generation, it may have been a quarrel at first, and then it turned into a personal conflict, and slowly it may evolve into a bloody conflict.
None of this is uncommon.
But if you really want to talk about it, Luke feels that he is very wronged. After all, according to the records, people in his team rarely contact the outside world. In other words, there is a high probability that this blame is for another Gunter.However, since there is only one single seedling left in the two Gunters, it is hard to say anything.
He's not curious about hatred, it's nothing more than old scores.But he was very curious about entanglement, what drove the young man in front of him to take the risk of discussing cooperation with him, or even become a vassal?
Gemma nodded to the two people opposite.Sitting here, she was recognized by Luke as an assistant, not a servant, which meant she didn't have to grovel in front of these two.
After all, Luke wouldn't let her do this, and the others were even less qualified.
"Hello, Miss Farley. Many people were speculating about your whereabouts after graduation, but Mr. Gaunt took the lead."
Old Lance had a gentle and friendly smile, a bit like a kind elder.
"The boss just values me. And the employment conditions he offers are very generous, and I have no reason to refuse."
Gemma responded with an expression of impeccable politeness.
She had no intention of being too close to old Lance, and most of the properties she would be in charge of came from the Lance family.If old Lance was a smart person, he would naturally not leave too obvious behind in these places, and he might even not leave behind at all.But the undertone left by the Lance family's years of operation is difficult to erase.
Naturally, dealing with the Lance family is indispensable for future development.Now that she is on good terms with the Lance family, even if Luke himself is not worried, from the bottom of her heart, Gemma also thinks it is irresponsible to Luke.
So she can only be polite to old Lance.
Old Lance's smile remained the same, but his overall expression changed from close to distant.
"Really, it seems that your ability is indeed very strong, and you are so valued by Mr. Gunter."
The two people here are chatting with each other, mainly because they don't want to make the scene too awkward.
Luke over there looked at Ryan Kane with a somewhat haughty expression.And the grievance on Ryan Kane's face has not dissipated.These two people feel almost the same now.
One was sulking all the time, and the other was determined to have fun with the other.
Such scenes lasted a long time.So much so that with the eloquence of Gemma and old Lance, those unnutritious chattering is about to be dragged into the second cycle.
The two couldn't talk about business without Luke's consent.Seeing that the scene was about to become more embarrassing, Gemma still couldn't hold back, and under the cover of her robe, she poked Luke lightly with her wand.
Only then did Luke realize, oh yes, there are two more people here.
"Hey, Lance, Gemma, you two go talk about the property reception first."
Gemma froze for a moment when she heard this, but before she could speak, she saw Luke's eyes with gentle expression.
"Employees are not suspicious, and doubtful ones are not. I believe in you, and I have the confidence to keep your original intentions."
The first half of this sentence is quite nice.Then in the second half, Gemma rolled her eyes rudely at Luke.
If you are not loyal, you will help me be loyal, right...
On the other side, Old Lance gave Ryan Kane a sneaky look. The appearance of this guy is really not a good thing!
But now that Luke has opened his mouth, he can't say anything.You can't decide on the first day of becoming a vassal, and immediately give the new boss a big blow.
After the two left, Luke's gentle expression instantly restrained.Looking at Ryan Kevin who was staring at him on the other side, he said with a chuckle: "If you have anything to do, please tell it as soon as possible. I don't have so much time to spend here with you. If you feel that you are still If you’re not ready, you might as well go back first.”
"I don't know what conflicts exist between our two families, but if you go back and think about it, maybe my place is not your only turning point. The tradition of the Kane family shouldn't be like this!"
Luke was very sincere when he said this, even his eyes and emotions, which made Ryan Kane, who heard the irony from the words, a little confused.
It sounded like the other party was really doing it for his own good.
So after being silent for such a long time, he seemed to have finally defeated himself, and said calmly, "I'm joking, Mr. Gunter. If I had other choices, how could I come to you."
Luke: "..."
Luke was really stunned.What he meant just now was more urging, and he didn't want to waste time with this guy anymore.It can be regarded as a satire that a guy like him who is so indecisive that he doesn't look like his ancestors can actually become the patriarch of the Kane family.
It is indeed more euphemistic, but it doesn't mean that everyone can't hear it.
Of course, if you say something like this, everyone won't turn their faces. Luke's plan from the beginning was to talk to the other party first.After all, only talking can move things forward.
But I never expected that this guy was so sincere that he couldn't hear such words.
The Kane family is really in decline.
Luke was thinking about something, and Ryan Kane's mouth was not idle.
It seems that he hasn't confided his heart to anyone for a long time, so that he can hardly control his mouth when he speaks.
"It's just a few quarrels. Who would have thought that the Bok family would really want to push our family to a desperate situation."
"They said I harassed their heir's fiancée. How could I do that! I was just introducing her to the 13 special uses of Portkeys."
"Now the Bok family seems to be ready to kill them all, my God, I'm about to collapse!"
"None of the former allies were willing to help me, not even the Ministry of Magic! Do you know what Connery Fudge told me when I went there?"
"My God, he actually told me that this matter will be very difficult! He has no scruples about our friendship for many years of cooperation!"
"I slammed the door angrily and left. People in the Kane family would not say a word to such an ungrateful person. Therefore, I burned all the letters he sent me later."
"The Nott family pretended to be peacemakers, ha! No one knows what old Nott is like! His two sons are not good people either!"
"I didn't even bother, just closed the door and thanked the guests!"
His emotions became more and more agitated, and Luke had a strange expression on his face.Looking at Ryan Kane's expression, it became more and more subtle.
After the excitement, Ryan's mood gradually became depressed.
"But I still have to find a way to communicate with others, and the portkey has to be sold. I still have the idea of researching new product portkeys. But I don't have enough money..."
At this time, Luke raised his hand suddenly, and raised his palm at Ryan.motioned him to stop.
Ryan was surprised, but stopped.
"All in all, because you offended someone, you can't sell the door key. Come to me now, right?"
Luke summed it up with a serious face.
He really had heard enough of this guy's long-winded talk, and it was fine if he couldn't get to the point. The more he talked, the more desperate Luke was.
If the person in front of him is the average level of the current nobles, then he should not even think about wooing any pure-blooded nobles, and simply re-support nobles from pure-blooded families.
Things are difficult?Then don't do it?
What is this all about!People want to negotiate a condition with you, if the negotiation fails, it's normal to turn your face.But you don't know that people want to negotiate terms with you, isn't it a bit...
"Correct."
As if to spit out the anger in his heart, Ryan's face regained that slightly indifferent and succinct speaking level again.
"OK, no problem, do you want me to invest? Or do you want me to help distribute?"
As soon as the words came out, Luke patted himself on the head, shook his head helplessly and said, "I'm so confused, if it's just such a thing, you can go up and talk to Gemma yourself."
It must be a good thing. In fact, this is what the Bork family should be looking for, but they never expected that this guy in front of them is somewhat sloppy.Now it is estimated that the Bock family is also having a headache.
And there is actually something about the Nott family in it, which Luke didn't expect.Old Nott looked inconspicuous, but he didn't expect to be involved in so many things.At this point, his second son, Theodore Nott, and he thought nothing of it.
"I knew it was right to find you! Although the Gaunt family is narrow-minded, crazy, and loves to show off, you value promises and have money! Old Man Nott would never have thought that I still found the person he didn't want me to find. !"
Ryan Kane looks overly agitated yet again.And this time, what he said was still very informative.
Luke froze for a moment, then frowned.
Old Knott... what does this mean?
But Ryan Kane showed embarrassment: "But I don't just want you to sell me the Portkey."
Luke frowned and said, "What else do you want?"
Luke doesn't want to get too involved with him right now.This guy lacks a gatekeeper, obviously his previous indifference is not only a disguise, but also a layer of protection for himself.The person who gave him this habit was really well-intentioned.
"I heard that the Gaunt family has some research results on Portkeys. I want to see it."
Ryan looked serious, while Luke was speechless.
He didn't speak but moved his body back, then raised his head and looked at Ryan Kane in a condescending attitude.
But Ryan didn't respond.She still looked at him with embarrassment, and deep in that embarrassment, there was still a little bit of hope.
Luke felt like he was about to suffocate internal injuries.
"So, what's the price?"
Luke said somewhat helplessly.
"I'll show you, yes, the price, give me a price that I can accept."
In fact, the price of handing over the distribution rights of the special portkey to Luke is already very high.But Luke still wants to squeeze it out, maybe he can come up with something.
"What more do you want? I don't seem to have anything to give."
Ryan's face was stern, and he looked inhumane.
Luke touched his chin, made a thoughtful expression, and frowned a moment later: "How about technology exchange? I can..."
"impossible."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ryan directly
"Well...why? Why did you refuse so simply?"
Luke didn't wonder and refuse, but it was still strange for him to refuse so simply.Especially after seeing that there is no color of anger in Lane's emotional dust.
"My family told me. If someone wants to exchange your technology with other technology, don't agree."
Ryan looked embarrassed when he said this.
He does not reject such things as technology exchange.He didn't think anyone else could surpass him in the technology of special portkeys, but since this was the entrustment of his family, he had no intention of rebelling.
Moreover, what the family said at the time was 'stay away from this guy who offered you a technology exchange', but unfortunately, he can't refuse Luke now.Otherwise, you will really push yourself to a dead end.So he chose to compromise once.
And Luke looked at the expressionless Ryan.
"Then how about we..."
The hatred passed down from generation to generation made him have no affection for the boy in front of him.But the current situation they are facing now leaves him with no more choices.
In fact, when he said that sentence, he already regretted it.Facing the situation where he was besieged from all sides, he shouldn't have complained like this.After all, everything is made by myself.
But it's no use regretting.
