Chapter 1,247 Honkai Impact: The Beginning Part 2(1/3)
5:23
Dougs was anxiously waiting in the yard of his home. His wife and children had already gone to Phoebes Resort Hotel. Several servants at home had prepared a sumptuous dinner, but Dougs was most worried about
It's a question of money.
The Douglass had already proposed to break away from the Angus family at the last Angus family gathering, and the Angus couple agreed and said they would send someone to deliver the shares belonging to the Douglas family today.
In the last family meeting, not only the Dougs family, but also three other families also wanted to break away from the Angus family. Every family meeting was very tense because everyone knew that the Angus family was about to be unable to survive.
If we don't leave, we may be destroyed along with the Angus family. This is what Douglass doesn't want to see.
And now Dougs has planned some businesses he will build in the future. In the past, Dougs relied on his in-law relationship with the Angus family to put the already declining family on the right track. The entire family is in Angus.
The family settled down under the huge cloud, but over the years, as the Angus family continued to do things they knew they couldn't do but insisted on doing, the Angus family as a whole suffered debt losses.
However, the Angus couple also promised that the whole family can work together to get through this extremely difficult period. Many families still stayed firmly because everyone has received huge favors from the Angus family, and Douglas also
I know that what I am doing now is a bit unkind, but the current situation no longer allows Douglass to carry on. The Angus couple also expressed their understanding that day and agreed on the spot to those who wanted to leave the Angus family.
.
Watching the time pass by, Dougs became a little worried, because the situation at Angus's house was really not good now. At this time, Dougs saw two people appearing on the street.
"Second Miss! Why are you here?"
Douglass looked at Niya and Gris with some surprise, and he hurried over to open the door.
"Uncle Dougs, I sent you the money, but the wallet department is so slow."
Niya said and put the heavy money bag on the ground, and they both carried two bags of money each.
"There are ten million Mr. Douglass here. I'm very sorry for being late."
After saying this, Grace took out a contract. As long as Grace signed it, he could leave the Angus family, and all debt issues did not belong to Douglas.
"No...it doesn't need to be that much, I..."
"Is there anything to eat? Hurry up and bring it to me. I'm starving to death."
Gris walked over with a smile and bowed.
"Mrs. Angus said that if there are difficulties in the future, the Angus family will also lend a helping hand and asked me to take the message. Thank you for your hard work as a family."
Gris said that Douglass was not feeling well at this moment. He really wanted to slap himself twice, but in the end, Douglass signed the contract and asked the butler to deposit the banknotes in the fresh-keeping vault at home.
The reason why Dougs sent the cash directly was because for some family businesses with debt problems, Section 7 strictly limits the transfer amount and does not allow the company's money to be transferred to private accounts.
Looking at Niya behind her, she looked happy, as if she had returned to her own home, so she walked in naturally. In the past, Niya would often come to the Dougs' house to play, and she had a good relationship with the Dougs' family.
Douglass felt a little ashamed, and Gris next to him continued.
"Mr. Douglass, there is no need to do this. Everyone knows that, and no one blames you."
Dougs hummed. Dougs' own industry had suffered a lot of losses before. It was the Angus family that helped fill the loopholes and sent some people from the family to help put Dougs' industry back on track.
However, due to the overall depression of the city, Douglas eventually went bankrupt, but Angus Construction still arranged a position for Douglas and gave him a certain share of shares.
Now, instead of reducing the amount of shares that should be obtained, there is more than three million more. Douglas stood in the dim sunshine, not knowing what to say for a while.
"Remember Mr. Douglass, if you are willing to do me a small favor, our Hillman family will become your solid and reliable partner."
In a daze, Dougs recalled what Eddie had said to him that night. Dougs glanced back at Nia, who was already making a fuss in the dining room to get the wine.
Dougs began to hesitate because he couldn't do it. He didn't know what Eddie wanted to do, but he was sure it wasn't something good.
Douglass returned to the dining room and started eating with Niya and Grace. It wasn't until about 7 o'clock in the evening that Niya and Grace left Douglas's house.
"By the way, Miss Second..."
"What's the matter? Uncle Dougs."
Niya asked, and Dougs smiled and shook his head, his expression slightly bitter.
"You can come to my house to play anytime you have time."
Niya waved her hands and walked quickly. She would go to give money to three other people who quit the Angus family tomorrow.
At this moment, Gris suddenly spoke.
"Second Miss, I think that if we give one or two million less, neither the madam nor the master will know about it. After all, the current situation of the family..."
Niya looked at Gris in surprise.
"It's not good to do this!"
Niya said, and Gris shook his head.
"The four families obviously rely on the Angus family to continue to survive, but now that the Angus family is in trouble, they have to break away from the family, and the madam and the master have given them so much more. Second Miss
, now even a penny is good, for the Angus family, it is life-saving money."
"But Gris, have you ever thought about it? They were not useless when they were at Angus's house, and they tried their best. It's better not to do this kind of thing. Besides, I won't do this behind my back.
It's just a sneaky thing, go back quickly, I have to go to the wallet department tomorrow, really, why is the work efficiency so low?"
Gris looked at Niya in surprise, but he quickly nodded and followed quickly.
"Second Miss, I'm really sorry for saying what I just said."
"Gris, I think there is no need to mention this kind of thing. Anyway, I think there is no problem in my family. Haven't there been times like this before!"
Gris hummed.
The two of them were walking towards the subway station. At this time, in an alley, there was an ordinary passerby who seemed to be drunk. His eyes never left Niya and Gris.
"Report to Mr. Eddie, it seems to have failed."
In a living room on the second floor of the mansion in Hillman Manor, Eddie watched a light and shadow screen showing reports from members of the Hillman family. All present were a group of powerful and sharp-eyed Hillmans.
Elite mutants.
"It seems that Gris is not going to help anymore, so he can only look for another opportunity."
Eddie stood up as he spoke. Now Eddie's most urgent task is to kidnap Nia and use this as a blackmail to the Angus couple. This is the most effective for the Angus family.
"What do you think, Andur!"
Eddie looked at the bald man sitting directly in front of him. He had a dark red pattern tattoo on his head, and he looked extremely fierce. Andur is the strongest mutant in the Hillman family. According to analysis, Andur
Duer's strength is at least close to that of most of the section chiefs in the executive department.
"Although it is very strong, there is a way to solve it."
Eddie hummed.
"Once you have the chance, you must complete this task, no matter what the cost!"
A bunch of mutants in the room stood up and bowed formally, and Eddie nodded.
"Andur, remember, you can only succeed, not fail!"
"I understand, Mr. Eddie!"
Eddie walked to the window and looked at the businessmen who had entered the manor one after another, showing a satisfied smile.
"Okay, you continue to go back and take care of your work."
The bodyguards retreated respectfully.
Eddie put his hand on the edge of the window and started scratching it.
"I let you escape another disaster."
Eddie's eyes looked extremely solemn at the distance of the street, where the Angus family is located. Eddie knew very well that if he wanted to knock down the Angus family, he had to let the couple let go, but they never refused.
Being willing to let go makes it difficult for the Hillman family to implement their next plan. As long as they take over the Angus family's last property, everything will be settled and no one can stop the Hillman family's plan.
Recently, the gods have rarely attended city meetings. Eddie is very aware of this, because there are more and more voices of dissatisfaction with the gods in the city.
It has been so many years, and the gods have long been tired of the city. Eddie has known this for a long time, because the gods are walking around the city, enjoying their own lives. Eddie has learned all this from twenty years ago
He knew it before, and among the information exchanged between Prometheus and the city's AIs, there was one thing that surprised Eddie.
The calculated values finally derived from the gods' planning and decision-making are enough to show that the gods will definitely leave this city one day. It is only a matter of time, because they are no longer human beings.
Although Eddie didn't know exactly why this was happening, Eddie knew very well that the Hillman family's plan would soon be realized, and the lifeline of the city was actually controlled by the Hillman family.
The two groups of businessmen and family businessmen have now started all-round cooperation with the Hillman family as the center. On the AI network, in just six months, the Hillman family has made more than 5 billion in revenue.
