Everyone turned to look at a girl coming out of the door, and were slightly surprised.
"Could this girl who came out be the daughter of the patriarch of the Oseidon family?" Ruian also looked at the girl carefully. She was not tall and quite thin. She was wearing a white swordsman uniform, but there was no armor and long sword on her body.
Equipment. The girl has a delicate face, under her thin eyebrows,
Her eyes were small and slightly squinted, giving her the appearance of a weak and elegant girl. She was unable to make the angry glare that ordinary swordsmen like to do when fighting. There seemed to be a slight sweat on the girl's forehead. Looking at her appearance, she seemed to be practicing just now.
During the process, I was attracted by the quarrel.
"Isn't it? This seemingly weak girl actually wants to practice fighting swordsmanship. Seeing that she looks like such a weak young lady, she should stay at home and learn some painting and poetry, and she shouldn't be beaten or killed.
." Ruian couldn't help but think in his heart.
Indeed, there are many women in this continent who choose to become swordsmen. Although some female swordsmen are thick-shouldered and have stronger bodies than male swordsmen, most female swordsmen still have characteristics unique to women.
What should be beautiful is still very beautiful, what should be gentle is still very beautiful
Gentle. However, female swordsmen have practiced fighting sword skills a lot, and their faces will show some heroic spirit from time to time. People can feel the sharpness of the sword from their eyes at first sight. For example, Ketisha is such a female swordsman.
A scholar, his beautiful appearance contains a heroic spirit that fascinates Ruian.
But the girl in front of me is different. Her appearance looks extremely weak, and more importantly, her eyes still show infinite weakness. People can't connect her with the swordsman at all, they only think that this is
An aristocratic lady, especially one who feels the quiet elegance hidden under her frail appearance.
"Miss Fairley, nothing... nothing happened." The housekeeper named Anben seemed to not want the girl to know what was happening in front of her.
Sure enough, this girl was Fairlie, the daughter of the patriarch of the Oseidon family. She frowned slightly, obviously knowing that Butler Yasumoto didn't want to tell her the truth.
At this moment, the thin man who came to collect debts shouted loudly: "Miss Fairley, you came just in time. Your father owes my family five hundred gold coins and has not paid back. Please ask your father to come out and pay back the money."
The thin man spoke in an aggressive manner. He showed no respect for Fairlie at all, as if he treated Fairlie as a child.
Fairlie's brows furrowed even more and her face turned livid. She did not answer the thin man's words. Instead, she turned to look at another middle-aged man and said, "Uncle Sharp, is what he said true?"
Just now, Butler Aberdeen hid the truth from Fairy, so Fairly didn't want to ask Butler Aberdeen, but instead asked the guard leader Sharpe.
The middle-aged man Sharp did not speak, his face was still livid. After a moment, he nodded slightly, acquiescing.
Immediately, Fairlie took a few steps forward and looked at the thin man. She was not afraid of him at all, and said calmly: "You said that my father owes your family gold coins. Do you have an IOU?"
At this moment, Fairly's behavior was completely different from her weak appearance. She could not be said to be sharp, but she was by no means cowardly.
Suddenly, Ruian's eyes lit up as he watched the excitement. He had always been worried that the members of the Oseidon family were incompetent and cowardly, but now it seemed that they were not so bad.
Hearing Fairly's question, the thin man was stunned for a moment, then took out a small palm-sized piece of paper from his pocket, walked a few steps forward, and unfolded it about a foot away from Fairly.
Li Kan: "Look. This is the IOU written by your father three years ago."
The thin man held the IOU far away and did not show it to Fairlie. He seemed to be afraid that Fairlie would snatch it and destroy the evidence.
It was obvious that the thin man judged others by himself and underestimated Fairly. Fairly had no such intention at all. She looked at the few words on the note and her brows furrowed even more.
"How are you sure this was written by my father?" The handwriting on the IOU was a bit blurry. Although Fairlie recognized that it looked like her father's handwriting, she still couldn't help but raise questions.
"Hmph! You still want to deny it. If you don't believe me, call your father out and confront me face to face." The thin man seemed to be unreasonable and shouted loudly.
"No!" Fairlie blurted out, then hesitated and said, "My father is not feeling well and cannot see you."
"I don't care, I will get back the debt of five hundred gold coins no matter what today."
Suddenly, a look of anger appeared on Fairy's eyebrows, and she raised her voice and said, "Didn't my father lend you two hundred and fifty gold coins? Why should I pay back five hundred gold coins?"
Unexpectedly, the thin man laughed loudly, as if he had heard a joke, which made Fairlie feel ashamed and angry. Then the thin man said mockingly: "I said Miss Fairlie, you have never been out.
Don’t you know you have to pay interest when borrowing money from outside?”
"But your interest rate is too much. It has doubled all of a sudden. You borrowed 250 gold coins, but you have to pay back 500 gold coins. You are going too far!" Fairly started to get angry, and she scolded the other party, but
It was obvious that with her weak appearance, her words had no effect at all.
"The interest rate of my family is like this. Who told your father not to repay the money before? After delaying it for so many years, he has to pay back so much interest. Besides, your father also agreed to this interest rate when he borrowed money before. Don't believe me.
Call your father to come out and confront him." The thin man looked like a scoundrel, as if he knew that Fairly didn't dare to call her father out.
Fairly was silent for a moment, with a livid face, and looked back at Butler Aben and Chief Sharp next to her, both of whom looked helpless.
"I'm sorry, we don't have gold coins now, so we can't pay you back. You can come back later." Seeing Fairly's embarrassed look, Butler Yasumoto immediately stood up and said.
Very unexpectedly, after hearing Butler Yasumoto's excuse, the thin man was not angry, but laughed happily, but his voice sounded a little sinister: "Joke, this is really a joke, the famous Osaidon family,
This majestic Earl's Mansion can't even afford to pay back five hundred gold coins."
The ear-piercing laughter immediately made Fairlie and the others blush. Shap, the leader of the guards who had been silent all this time, finally couldn't control his temper. He waved his heavy sword and shouted: "Kraft, don't go too far.
, I tell you that if you don’t have gold coins to pay back, there will be no gold coins to pay back. If you dare to pester me any longer, I will be rude to you."
The thin man Kraft was startled, but he quickly recovered. He patted his chest with a panicked expression, twisted his body around, and yelled heartbreakingly: "Scared me to death! Murder!"
The Oseidon family refuses to pay back the money they owe and is going to kill everyone. Come and see! See how domineering the Oseidon family is!"
Obviously, Kraft is a scoundrel. He was not scared at all, but was acting. This can be seen from his clumsy movements and language. No one stepped forward to hit him. Kraft was just such a person, and
Yelling and jumping, his eyes looked at Ryan and the two from time to time, hoping that Ryan and Ketisha, two obvious outsiders, would come forward to pay attention and put some pressure on the people of the Oseidon family.
Ruian and Ketisha couldn't help but smile. This was the first time they had seen such a living treasure. However, Ruian had no intention of getting involved in the dispute between the two parties. He was trying to understand the situation of the Oseidon family, and it was the best choice to just sit back and watch.
.As for Ketisha, she follows Ryan's lead in everything. If Ryan doesn't take action, she will naturally not act without authorization.
Fairly and the others were not in the mood to watch the joke at all. All of them had fire in their eyes and wanted to kill the scoundrel in front of them immediately. However, the number and strength of the swordsmen brought by the opponent were not inferior to them.
"Okay! Stop making trouble! We will return this gold coin to you." Fairly finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted loudly.
Kraft immediately stopped shouting and immediately smiled, looking at Fairly and others like a winner. His face changed so quickly and his skin was so thick that it was incredible.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Fairly finished speaking, Butler Yasumoto beside her said softly: "Miss, the gold coins we have left are not enough for five hundred gold coins."
Philly's expression did not change. She was very aware of her family's situation. She could still spend dozens of gold coins. Five hundred gold coins was a huge sum of money that the current Oseidon family could not afford. Phil
Li nodded, indicating to Butler Aberdeen that he knew the situation, and then said to Kraft: "We need some time to raise funds. Come over in three days, and we will return the gold coins to you."
Unexpectedly, Kraft disagreed, and he said sarcastically without hesitation: "What kind of money are you raising? Why don't you sell the things passed down from your ancestors?"
As the saying goes, hitting someone is not a slap in the face. Kraft's words really slapped the Oseidon family in the face, giving Fairlie and others a hard slap. If it were another family, Kraft would not dare to say such a thing.
If he dared to say it, he might be beaten to death right away. But the Osaidon family is different. They are in great decline now, so even Kraft, who is just a steward of other families, does not put the Osaidon family at all.
In his eyes, he dared to say such offending words.
Fairly and others were furious, and several young guards even drew their swords and moved forward, wanting to teach Kraft a lesson.
Kafu quickly took a few steps back and ducked into the protection of several swordsmen. Then he yelled: "What's wrong? Are you trying to kill someone again?"
"Come back!" Fei Li, whose face was extremely pale, quickly called a few guards, stared at Kraft for a moment and then said, "Then what do you want?"
Fairlie saw that this Kraft came to collect debts, not just for gold coins, he must have some ulterior motive.
Sure enough, at this moment, Kraft no longer concealed the purpose of his visit and said directly: "As long as you bring out a vase passed down from your ancestors to pay off the debt, we will leave immediately." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.
