Zi Chen got on the carriage, and the old man sent him back to the manor.
The whole journey was silent.
Connie lowered his head and remained silent.
The old man didn't know what to say. His eyes were like a clear mirror, able to see through everything. It seemed that everything in the world would appear in its true form before his eyes.
He could see the Riley family's calculations.
So what are the Dahl family’s plans?
When the manor arrived, Zi Chen got off the carriage, and the old man and Connie followed him.
When he walked to the door of the manor, a servant immediately opened the door. Zi Chen stood at the door and turned around to look at the old man.
The old man bent down habitually.
Zi Chen said: "Except for the previous one-fifth of my share of the Miracle City, the remaining part is divided into two. I will take one share, and your Dal family will take one share."
The old man was startled when he heard the sound.
Connie, who had been keeping his head down, raised his head and looked at Zi Chen's face. I don't know if it was because of surprise.
"Ok, deal."
Zi Chen turned around and walked into the manor.
The old man stood there, motionless for a long time, as if he was petrified.
This benefit came too suddenly. The one-fifth given to the Riley family was already a huge amount. You must know that after many years of development, the population of Miracle City has reached close to one million, and those industries are growing every month.
The rent collected is itself an extremely huge number.
But compared to the calculated Riley family, the Dahl family got more, twice as much as the Riley family.
After coming back to his senses, the old man's face lit up with joy. This time it was a blessing in disguise.
He motioned for Connie to follow him back. On the carriage, the old man couldn't help but sing a ditty, and he was in a very good mood.
Connie started to speak but stopped.
"If you have anything to say, just say it." The old man leaned against the carriage and said with a relaxed expression: "We have made a contribution today, and we will all be rewarded when we return to the family."
Connie said: "I don't know if I feel wrong. In the past, the way adults looked at us was a bit like the elders in the family looking at the younger ones. Although they didn't talk much, they were always kind and kind."
The old man said: "Your feeling is not wrong. That person has a very deep connection with our ancestors, and it is also explained in the ancestral precepts. We can treat him as our ancestor. Moreover, after so many years, the appearance of the other person does not change.
Change, otherwise why would some people call the owner of the manor an old god in private? Aren’t the legendary stories that belonged to him in those days also being circulated now? "
Connie said: "However, after the adult said the words of equal division, although his eyes and expression did not change at all, I felt that the intimacy disappeared and there was a touch of alienation."
"Alienation?"
The old man was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face disappeared.
The ancestral precepts clearly warn that you must not anger that legendary being.
He believes in Connie's perception, because this is his innate talent and the main reason why he chose Connie. He can know whether things are done well or badly by sensing emotions.
The adults actually started to alienate them. So this time, did Darr do something wrong?
"If you could get half of the wealth of Miracle City just by being estranged, would you be willing to alienate other people?"
The head of the Dal family looked at the old man in front of him and said, "Tell me, what would you choose?"
The old man said hesitantly: "I may choose wealth, but the ancestral teachings..."
His words were interrupted by the head of the Dal family, "It's not maybe, it's definitely! The ancestral teachings happened many years ago. At that time, my grandfather just missed the old relationship and pitied the other party. Even if he was great before, he is just a living person now.
For ordinary people who have lived for a long time, their era has ended long ago. This era now belongs to us!"
"It would be fine if it was just like this, but he has a lot of wealth, and he doesn't have any powerful helpers around him, not even a powerful nursing home."
The head of the Dal family said: "This is like a beauty taking off her clothes and standing among a group of homeless people, and she keeps posing and posing around her. Who can resist it? By the way, this time the Riley family took action in advance, and we invited that person out
If a person exists, why is it not a temptation? Now that the results of the temptation have come out, he really has no ability, so naturally he will be eaten up."
The old man hesitated and said: "However, the warning from the ancestors has its purpose after all. After all, those people are no longer there, and there are only some legends left. In the legend, the other party is so powerful that no one can match it."
"You also said that only the legend remains."
A touch of sarcasm appeared on the face of the head of the Dal family, "In that legend, the six realms are very common existences, and there are so many nine realms, and there is even an ascension realm. That guy can defeat the ascension realm in the nine realms. Among us in Kata
There are also two people who ascended and left. Do you think such an outrageous thing is possible?"
"Furthermore, you have also seen what happened today. In the face of crisis, what else does he do besides ceding his property? He is just an ordinary person, but grandpa gave him a myth. Perhaps, grandpa's real purpose is,
It’s just so that we, Dar, can protect him, instead of him coming out to protect us in times of crisis!”
Zi Chen returned to the manor and walked towards the small tree.
He was used to sitting next to a small tree, but as soon as he sat down, a leaf fell to the ground.
The leaves fall to the ground and disappear, as if they had never appeared.
There was surprise in Zichen Gujing Bubo's eyes, "Time is running out, why did the leaves fall?"
I saw another leaf fall.
In previous years, it was always the same every decade, but today seems a little unusual.
The third leaf falls.
Zi Chen whispered: "Did you sense my mood swings?"
The fourth, fifth, and sixth leaves also fell.
As the six leaves fell, Zi Chen's face gradually became older, as if he had experienced sixty years.
His perception is very keen and he can feel this change in himself.
He smiled bitterly, looked at the little tree and said, "Old friend, it seems you can't hold on any longer."
The small tree is withered and yellow, and it seems that it will reach the end of its life at any time.
Over the past hundred years, he has seen too many lives and deaths.
All the people he saved back then have passed away.
Kata left many legends, but they are just legends.
Looking at the thirteen leaves on the small tree, Zi Chen said: "If this continues, it seems that we won't be able to hold on for too long."
He looked up at the sky again, "Are we all disappointed with this world? But if we leave, what will we do when our friends come back? Looking around, there are no old friends anymore, the bonds and persistence in our hearts,
How sad would they be if one move disappeared?"
"No matter how disappointed we are with this world, we should persist until we see them for the last time. Even if we can't change anything, we should still say thank you to others."
Zi Chen called all the servants in the manor over. They were obviously shocked after seeing Zi Chen's change.
It's only been one day, and he has become so old.
Zi Chen gave everyone a large severance package, enough for them to live happily for the rest of their lives.
When leaving, all the servants reluctantly saluted Zi Chen and then said goodbye.
Zi Chen waved to everyone and said "thank you".
Thank you for your care over the years.
At this point, he was the only one left in the manor, looking lonely and deserted.
Fortunately, the little tree still exists.
The next day, the leaves stopped falling, which seemed to indicate that Zi Chen's mood had returned to calm.
Under normal circumstances, Thirteen Leaves can last for 130 years, but after such a big thing happened, even Zi Chen didn't know what the future would be like.
The City of Miracles has ushered in a revolution in power.
The Riley family moved in forcefully, broke all previous agreements with those shops, and took one-fifth of the original space as their own.
But compared with the huge City of Miracles, the Riley family would obviously not be satisfied with just one-fifth.
Because this is one-fifth of what it was a hundred years ago. During these hundred years, the City of Miracles has continued to expand under the management of the Dahl family. The expanded share was not given to Zi Chen.
As the Riley family, which had the potential to be powerful for three generations, naturally could not allow the Dahl family to become dominant, so they openly started a conflict of interests with the Dahl family.
To be continued...
