Chapter 2: The decency of the nobility

“Getting into the script…

This script is a certification-level script, killing mode (in killing mode, if you kill a player, you can randomly draw the opponent's prop card twice or select one prop card, and get all the script points)

Since you are not a certified player.

Get some compensation, your mission difficulty level will be lowered by one level, and when you encounter damage from certified players, the damage you take will be reduced by 15%.

Ding! You have a special wealth bonus, and your identity has changed in this script!"

…………

The prompt gradually disappeared and was replaced by a huge roar.

"Woo~~~"

The dirty and putrid air mixed with a strong fishy smell gradually poured into the nasal cavity, causing Xu Tong to frown subconsciously before opening his eyes.

"Be careful, my young master!"

At this time, Xu Tong suddenly felt someone pulling him.

Immediately afterwards, he saw a carriage running past him. The horse's hooves and wheels splashed mud on the muddy road, making the people on the roadside unable to dodge, and they were instantly splashed all over themselves.

If the person behind him hadn't helped me, I'm afraid that I would have greeted the car owner's grandmother in an authentic British accent like everyone else.

"Woo~~~"

The passenger ship sailing into the port made an ear-splitting buzz, and black smoke poured out of the chimney that could drive the Environmental Protection Agency crazy. People on the dock waved their palms to bid farewell to their relatives on the passenger ship.

Tuxedos and round hats seem to have become the mainstream in this world.

Even the poor will wear a thick woolen robe.

Occasionally, you can still hear the hum of the engine when a car drives by.

The face was completely different from that of Oriental people, which made Xu Tong feel a strong sense of strangeness.

"It's really unlucky."

Xu Tong sighed inwardly at his luck.

He doesn't like the West, not because he is patriotic, but because he is in a foreign country.

"Master!"

The call from behind interrupted Xu Tong's thoughts.

The man standing behind him stepped forward, and the cold wind blew on his hair, making his already sparse hair even more messy, exposing the bare Mediterranean Sea.

He stared at Xu Tong with his warm eyes as much as possible: "Believe me, young master, I swear in the name of God, the Morgan family will never dare to neglect the young master, even if the Corleone flag is no longer bright, but the oldest flag in our empire

noble."

When Corleone was mentioned, Shaer's old face showed a pride that had not been shown for a long time. Although his shabby clothes had exposed a few ugly patches under the cold wind, Xu Tong learned from him.

The obsession with past glory can be seen in his eyes.

As the steward of the Corleone family, he has served the family for nearly forty years. He once witnessed the family's most glorious times, and even the king of the empire did not dare to ignore their family's advice.

It’s just that Shar doesn’t understand why, after the death of the old knight, the family that was once able to control the empire fell apart in an instant, and even fell to where it is today.

Shaer couldn't understand, but Xu Tong knew it very well.

After sorting out the background information about his identity in his mind, he also learned about his current identity and family background.

The Corleone family, as Shar said, was once one of the most influential noble families in the empire.

On the surface, it controls minerals and steel.

But privately, he controls smuggling, brothels, casinos, and even private brewing businesses.

There is a saying in the empire that the emperor's treasury is far inferior to the Corleone family's purse.

But who would have thought that the Corleone family would just break up? After the death of the family patriarch, the three underground sons of the old man had not yet had time to think about how to divide the family property.

The situation changed rapidly in less than half a year.

First, a mining accident occurred in the mine, which led to the closure of the mine. Later, a reporter broke the news that the steel factory was deducting wages from employees.

Immediately afterwards, all the underground businesses originally controlled by the family were divided up and plundered by other gangs.

My own father was also shot dead on the street by gangsters.

So much so that his unsatisfactory second uncle and third uncle directly divided up the family property. As a direct descendant, except for the dilapidated ancestral house at home, he didn't get even a penny.

After Xu Tong carefully recalled all the details, he basically understood why the family fell so quickly.

The reason is actually very simple. The clan elder Sir died too suddenly, which caused problems in the transfer of power. Most of the political resources were controlled by Zhou Xuan.

It happened that his father, including his two uncles, were all fools and fools. In front of those proud mayors, dukes, and even officials, they could not speak at all.

Without official protection, other families would naturally be unable to hold back and rush forward to bite the weak lion of the Corleone family.

Of course, the above are all his preliminary speculations, and there must be many details in them. But because he only has so little information in his head, he has no clues to delve into the details. Another thing is, it is unnecessary.

Because he has nothing to do with the Corleone family, even in his current status.

A direct descendant of the Corleone family.

The Little Count, Kevin Corleone.

I say this not because I am just emotionally unfamiliar with the Corleone family, but more importantly, because of the family's defeat, a large amount of wealth was divided between the third uncle and the second uncle.

As a result, the impoverished young earl had no choice but to shamefully accept a businessman's suggestion and marry into their family.

Therefore, my life at this moment is not in the Corleone family, but in the Morgan family as mentioned by Shar.

"Well...this book is...interesting."

After Xu Tong examined his current situation, he finally had some expectations for the script world this time.

Although the setting of the script is the West, his most unfamiliar country.

Because he has never been out of the country in his life, and whether his abilities will be greatly reduced in the West is still a question. What's more, this is Lilith's hometown. God knows when this bitch who covets his body will come to fuck him.

However, in Xu Tong's eyes, these difficulties are not an advantage.

Don't forget, he is a person who has been blessed by the Archangel Michael. In this era, he believes that this will be his greatest advantage.

Xu Tong already had a preliminary idea in his mind, but the mood on his face still looked a little dull.

With the comfort of butler Shar, they turned and walked out of the pier.

Amantes.

The second most prosperous city in the empire is the pearl of the empire, with a complete industrial system and business unions.

The Morgan family's property here is also quite large.

Of course, compared to the Corleone family a few years ago, he is just a younger brother.

The housekeeper Shaer took Xu Tong to the window of a bakery on the street and looked at the golden and tempting bread in the window. Shaer asked Xu Tong to wait here for a while, and then walked into the bakery.

Then Xu Tong examined his current appearance in the reflection of the glass window.

He was very young, probably only sixteen years old, with a childish face and freckles on his nose.

But this cannot conceal Kevin's excellent genes.

He inherited the Corleone family's iconic dark blue eyes and blond hair, even though the family's decline caused him to lose a lot of weight during this time.

But the housekeeper Shar still loyally protected him and kept him from working, so that this thin-looking little guy had fair and tender skin, and even his veins were vaguely visible.

"Poor man, I never sell half a loaf of bread here, take your money and get out of here before I hit your dirty bald head with this beautiful baguette."

At this time, Xu Tong's ears moved. Even through the glass and the door, he could clearly hear the roars in the bakery, and the housekeeper Shaer was still arguing inside.

The argument lasted for about ten minutes before the butler, Sal, was pushed out of the bakery by the owner.

As if he didn't want Xu Tong to notice his embarrassment, Shaer stood firm, turned back angrily and cursed: "Asshole, repent for what you did today, God will punish you."

After saying that, he pulled Kevin away quickly with an angry look on his face. After walking around the corner, Shar looked back to make sure that the shop owner hadn't caught up with him, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

He took out half a piece of bread from his pocket and handed it to Xu Tong.

Xu Tong was not actually hungry, because he had already eaten three pots of goose stew in an iron pot before entering the script.

But he couldn't wait to take it, put it in his mouth and ate it hard.

The look of wolfing down the food made the butler Shar feel very distressed.

Then he took out new clothes from the suitcase and changed them for Xu Tong. He then took off his patched robe and carefully took out the tuxedo that he had not worn for a long time and the custom-made dome hat.

.

And from the box, he took out a crutch inlaid with silver.

He suddenly transformed into an upper-class old gentleman.

Of course, as long as his wallet containing only six pennies was not opened, no one would associate him with the poor man who had just been arguing in the bakery.

When the two walked out of the narrow alley again, all the pedestrians on the street cast their astonished glances.

A man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle.

After Xu Tong put on the clothes he had worn for a long time, he looked energetic. In addition, his appearance exuded a sense of nobility. When he stood there, he looked like a young master from a wealthy family.

Of course, the only flaw is that the trousers are a little short, exposing his ankles.

It seems that even though the family was in decline, Shar never let him go hungry, at least in terms of physical development, it was still normal.

Charles put on a round hat and a tuxedo, and his silver cane shone brightly in the sun.

But he always stood behind Xu Tong, which could not help but increase Xu Tong's halo.

Shar glanced at the carriage parked on the street and threw a penny to the coachman.

The coachman was stunned for a moment and looked at the old gentleman in front of him with confusion. He wanted to show that he was not a beggar, but the gorgeous makeup and unique temperament of Shaer and Xu Tong still made the coachman afraid to speak for a while.

"Just follow me. I'll give you a penny a minute. The fare is extra."

As he said this, he pulled Xu Tong forward. For a moment, the coachman didn't know what he was going to do, but for one penny a minute, this was a good deal.

So naturally I followed obediently.

As a result, people saw a young man in gorgeous clothes walking leisurely on the street, followed by an old housekeeper. The carriage on the side slowly followed behind the two, as if

The moment is always prepared for the two of them.

"Shar, we don't have much money..."

Knowing that there were only six pennies left in Shar's wallet, Xu Tong couldn't bear to remind him.

However, Shaer gently pushed Xu Tong's waist with his crutch, asking him to straighten his chest, and whispered: "Don't be afraid, we are just a few steps ahead."

Then seeing Xu Tong's confused eyes, Shar raised a smile: "Young Master, as a nobleman, if you don't have money, you will lose a lot, but if you lose your dignity, you will lose everything!"
