No one can always move up, and no one can guarantee that the path he chooses is absolutely correct.
The rugged road is always full of dangers. No one knows when a small stone under your feet or a poisonous snake jumping out of the grass on the roadside will make you feel relaxed and contented.
From the mountain peaks, they fell into the dark abyss and sank into the cold water.
Just like when Shirley held the hands of her uncle Justin and her lover Blanco, and walked into this magic pattern area that had silently fallen into their control with a haughty snicker, they would never have thought in their dreams that in just a short time
After a few prayers, they will fall into such a big trap on a small rock like Lingxuan.
In the eyes of many people, they are all high-ranking figures. Not to mention that ordinary civilians have to take off their hats and salute respectfully when they meet. Even if they are with the nobles, knights and even the lord of Meiding City, their status
It is also enough to become a distinguished guest that everyone welcomes with a smile.
But all this, in front of a seventh-level supervisor of the mission hall, was nothing more than bullshit.
From the moment Franklin made his decision, they had nothing to do with the Mission Hall. Everything they had enjoyed because of the Mission Hall had become a thing of the past.
It is said that when he was kicked out of the mission hall, Blanco was doing well, but he just said goodbye in the face of everyone's unwelcome looks.
The other two were not so cool. Shirley fainted and woke up crying and rolling around. Tears washed her face into black and white streaks. Justin grabbed off a curly wig.
, ignoring the disdainful looks of the staff next to him, he knelt on the ground and kept clasping his hands and asking to see Franklin again.
However, no one pitied them.
The staff who had seen enough of their usually domineering appearance worked together and happily pushed them out of the magic pattern area.
The news spread like wings. The first to get the news were the staff of the mission hall, followed by the mercenaries and mission entrusters gathered in the mission hall.
From the magic pattern area on the fifth floor, to the fourth floor, to the third floor, to the hall where people come and go, and then to the square outside... When the two of them were pushed past by a group of staff in embarrassment, the people they passed along the way
In the special area, corridors, counters, stairs, the staff stood up and applauded.
When the cheers, cheers, and curses spread to the crowd of mercenaries and resounded throughout the mission hall, no matter how thick-skinned Justin and Shirley were and no matter how much they wanted to continue, they finally couldn't hold on anymore. In the end
They could only speed up their pace and ran out of the mission hall as fast as they could.
When the entire mission hall was boiling with cheers and curses, Roy had been invited by Franklin into the most luxurious VIP reception room in the mission hall.
While passing by the corridor, Roy saw the embarrassed looks of Justin and Shirley who were kicked out, and also saw the joyful scene of the mission hall staff.
However, when Roy set his sights on Franklin in front of him, he discovered that everything in front of him seemed to have nothing to do with this seventh-level supervisor from the Munich Mission Hall. He just stood in front of him respectfully.
Leading the way, looking back from time to time to remind you of the steps, with a warm and sincere attitude.
This is the level of this world.
It is strict and natural. Although people with different identities can be in the same place many times, they belong to different worlds and have a natural gap.
For Franklin, Justin and Shirley were not worthy of his attention at all. After brushing them away like dust, he would no longer pay attention to what kind of reaction the dust would have if it fell.
This reflected the importance he attached to himself, which made Roy wonder. He didn't understand how this seventh-level supervisor determined his identity.
Obviously, his current behavior is not like treating a "cousin" of a second-level supervisor.
"Please take a seat."
Entering the room, Franklin bowed to Roy gracefully, stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation, and then smiled and asked Lingxuan, who was in high spirits but also in a trance, to make a pot of good tea.
Roy sat down and looked around in this extremely luxurious room. His eyes finally fell on the elegant middle-aged man in front of him, who exuded the elegant temperament of a scholar.
Some people are born with the ability to be the focus of people's attention, and Franklin is obviously one of them. He has a particularly mellow temperament. Just a bow, a smile, or a word can make people feel
It feels like a spring breeze, even flattering.
Roy was not flattered. After getting to know Alessia, he had become quite immune to the characteristics of people with extremely respected status.
Moreover, many people in that lofty world were originally enemies he had met or had never met before.
He just felt strange.
"Who are you?" Roy blinked.
Franklin smiled and stopped Ling Xuan, who was about to introduce the two parties. After introducing himself, his life and position, he said: "The purpose of my coming here is to meet a man who has shaken the entire Meiding City because of a mysterious magic pattern.
Mr. Magic Pattern Master. Unexpectedly, I met you as soon as I arrived."
"Me?" Roy asked curiously: "Do you know who I am?"
"Aren't you Lingxuan's cousin?" Although Franklin's tone was surprised, the look he looked at Roy was not surprising at all, but rather meaningful.
Roy laughed. He suddenly fell in love with this guy.
From the moment Franklin appeared, he knew that everything he did when he walked into the magic pattern area was to give himself an explanation.
Whether it is firing Justin and Shirley, or promoting Ling Xuan to supervisor, behind the thunderous methods shown, he is releasing a gentle and passionate message to himself.
This feeling that he deliberately created for himself is absolutely unmistakable.
Even if I felt wrong before.
Well, obviously even a fool would not believe that the reason why he was invited into this VIP reception room was because he was Ling Xuan's "cousin".
"Okay," Roy said with a smile, "other than that, what else do you know?"
"Do you want me to know or do you want me not to know?" Franklin sat down in front of Roy and said with a smile: "If you want me to know, then I will speak frankly. If you don't want me to know, then
In my eyes, you are Director Lingxuan’s cousin."
Franklin's words seemed to say nothing, but he made it very clear. This kind of conversation made Roy very interested.
"You'd better speak frankly." Roy glanced at Lingxuan who was busy pouring tea for himself and Franklin and said, "I believe my cousin won't mind."
At this point, the two of them laughed at the same time.
Lingxuan, who turned around with the tea she had just brewed, also smiled. She stood tall and graceful, with a blush on her face caused by the surprise that had not had time to fade away.
Everything happened too fast at that time. From Justin's sudden attack, to the appearance of the "lone wolf", to him identifying himself as his cousin, and then having conflicts with Justin and others, and finally to Franklin striding in,
The whole process still feels like a dream to her.
He was actually promoted to the supervisor of Meiding City.
Oh my god, if my parents and two younger sisters heard the news when I got home, I don’t know how happy they would be!
Happiness is like a big apple, which makes Lingxuan's head dizzy.
However, the curiosity in her heart was greater than happiness. She couldn't understand why Lone Wolf pretended to be her cousin to help her, nor how Franklin knew the identity of "Lone Wolf".
You know, she didn't say anything at the time. Because she knew that Mr. "Lone Wolf", who was younger than her sister, had registered an unnamed mercenary nameplate and pretended to be her cousin. He obviously didn't want to
Let others know his identity. Therefore, she has remained silent until now.
A very joyful silence!
Putting the tea in front of Lone Wolf and Franklin respectively, Lingxuan sat down.
"Justin is a moron."
Franklin picked up the tea, smiled slightly, and said to Roy.
"Although you have always claimed to be Ling Xuan's cousin, she has never spoken a word from the beginning to the end. According to my understanding of Ling Xuan, this is abnormal."
"Oh?" Roy glanced at Ling Xuan and scratched his cheek in embarrassment, "I don't know much about my cousin."
The three of them laughed again.
"Ling Xuan is a very kind girl."
Franklin praised Ling Xuan and said to Roy.
"If you were really her cousin, she would never let you get involved in the dispute. But when you said that you were his cousin, she who originally argued with Justin said nothing.
, this obvious anomaly represents two points...
First, she didn’t call you by your name because she didn’t know your name. Of course, she couldn’t call you a cousin because of her personality. Second, she was totally confident. Am I right?”
The last sentence is to ask Ling Xuan.
Ling Xuan nodded shyly.
"In the conflict and environment at that time, Ling Xuan felt confident, obviously because your identity no longer required her to argue with Justin and the others."
Franklin smiled slightly.
"And if there is one person in the Magic Zone who can do this, then I think, except for the person who shocked the entire city of Meiding and made Justin hesitate to use such despicable means to let me take a ride that cost thousands of gold.
Other than the person who came from Munni City in Lu Lang’s Sky Demon Ship, it can’t be anyone else.”
Roy was stunned secretly.
Franklin had been outside the door, relying only on the voices inside, as if he had experienced it himself, and guessed everything. This skill is not simple.
No wonder he was promoted to the position of seventh-level supervisor in a super organization like Mission Hall. This level of observation, judgment, and decisiveness in handling things are something that a person of Justin's level will never be able to achieve in his lifetime.
Old fox, Roy felt both admiration and jealousy in his heart.
"Okay, now that I've finished my talk, it's time to ask you for advice." Franklin asked, "You've been in Huimo Studio, how do you know what's going on outside?"
This matter is something Franklin is puzzled by.
"Well..." Roy raised his head and saw Franklin's extremely curious eyes. So he was very happy to win back, "I won't tell you!"
