Virtue is abundant

Chapter 396 Jewel Heart
Clear skies.

In the dark spire of the Parliament, on a suspended terrace.

Dozens of powerful professionals stood neatly.

——The rescue team is assembled.

They are being inspected by the parliament, and then they are about to set off to rescue the entropy family.

The big shots sat on a higher floor, holding the carefully selected list of personnel, looking at the terrace while comparing them, looking for those professionals who represented their families.

It's still early.

But the necessary ceremony will take a lot of time, so——

"The speaker please speak."

"Well, okay, let me just say a few words."

"Young candidates -"

"Remember, you are the fresh blood of the council, the pillars of your family, and the stars of tomorrow who have been carefully selected by the council."

"This time, on behalf of the parliament, you will go to the world of the Entropy family to rescue..."

The Speaker spoke eloquently.

On the terrace, the reserve councilors listened attentively with respectful faces.

However, they did not listen to the speaker's tirade.

Another old voice sounded in the ear of a reserve member:
"Remember, Xion has a figurine forging method in his hand. Although he reached an agreement with the council, the council was still preparing related trading treasures, so he didn't hand over the forging method."

"Patriarch, I remember, my mission is to find that forging method."

Reservists responded.

The old voice continued:

"Yes, that's it, but if you really can't find it, you have to do another thing—"

"Most of the treasures of the Entropy family are in the Parliament Bank, but some of them are in the collection showroom of their castle. Go and grab it. The more you grab, the better."

"Yes, master!"

Almost every member of the rescue team is listening carefully to the orders of the head of the family.

They have already been prepared and eager to try, and when the time comes, they will enter the territory of the Entropy family to plunder.

After today, the Entropy family will cease to exist.

And people like myself will "rescue" a batch of precious treasures for the council because of the timely rescue, and get the corresponding council rewards.

Everyone will step on the corpses of the Entromo family to welcome a brighter and better future.

Time passed slowly.

The speaker was still speaking high-sounding words on the high platform.

Everything is about to happen.

suddenly.

A man in black quickly walked up to the high platform and said something in the speaker's ear.

The speaker's dim eyes suddenly shone.

at the same time.

Those Patriarchs seemed to have received some kind of summons, and their faces were listening carefully.

Dead silence.

The reserve members below sensed something was wrong.

—Has something changed?
That's what they thought, and it happened.

at first.

A not-so-loud rumble came from the fringes of the Council City.

The high-level Patriarchs continued to maintain a dead silence.

However, the meaning of this dead silence is completely different from before.

Confusion, panic, fear, and even—

weak.

In the dead silence, time passed silently, but no one moved.

It's as if they don't know what to do.

One of the reserve councilors felt baffled, and couldn't help but glanced at the edge of the city.

"That's where the Parliamentary Bank is..."

he muttered to himself.

In the silence, his voice sounded so suddenly that everyone turned their heads to look at him.

——All the bosses are silent, what are you talking about?

The reserve member knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and hurriedly lowered his head, cold sweat breaking out from his back.

But he didn't know that his unintentional words woke everyone up.

The fear in everyone's hearts was defeated in an instant.

The speaker roared:
"Bank! We must not lose the bank!"

"Everyone is ready to fight!"

All the bigwigs made a commotion, and began to mobilize manpower one after another.

The piercing sirens rose to the sky and resounded throughout the council city.

……

Parliamentary Bank.

Some family treasure vault deep underground.

Wu Xiaode stepped on a piece of golden sand, put his hand on his forehead, and murmured with some headache:

"Is the Entropy family always confiscated like this?"

The entire underground treasure house is like a huge main hall of a palace, and there are many steps leading to various pavilions.

However, the ground was covered with golden sand, piled up to a depth of three or four meters, and all kinds of treasures were placed upside down on it.

—they don't look neat at all.

To put it bluntly, the treasures here are simply thrown around.

That's how Arian's father gained Xion's appreciation?

"Don't doubt, in fact, this storage is the correct way."

Joan's voice sounded.

The Book of the Dead was opened, suspended in front of Wu Xiaode, and the page of the shadow follower appeared.

Joan was taken by Odvia's side with the technique of the ghost world, and she was looking at the situation outside from the card.

Wu Xiaode suddenly remembered something, and said: "Mistress, you helped a lot in the battle, let's share the wealth here equally."

A moment of silence.

"No, Ariane."

As Joan said, she suddenly fell from the card and stood beside him.

"Then what do you mean?" Wu Xiaode asked.

Joan took a deep breath, and a pair of charming eyes fell on his face.

——Ariane must be caught!

He has three powers in his body, and he has followers such as ghosts and bone dragons by his side, and he is out of the mortal situation.

Whether it's the previous battles or the decision in the passage, it shows that he is no longer the Ariane of the past.

Treasure is dead and will be consumed.

Only by clinging to this man will he regain power and lead to a more glorious life!

At this moment, Joan directly made up his mind.

She gently took his hand and whispered in his ear:
"My family betrayed me—I can no longer return to the Hellfire family."

"And you are the last blood of the entire Entropy family."

"As the saying goes, it's hard to do it alone. If you want, from now on, let's fight side by side."

After hearing this, Wu Xiaode couldn't help laughing.

The previous battle was thanks to the help of the mistress.

In the future, if he continues to stay in the parliament, he really needs such a helper.

After all, she knows everything about the council and knows how to do things——

A woman who can become a mistress...

Where can the means be worse?
Just like she said.

It is too difficult for an Ariane to revive the family.

I need someone who originally belonged to the council, she must understand everything about the council.

With one more powerful character like this to help solve the problem, other families will have more fear.

When Wu Xiaode was lost in thought, Joan thought he was hesitating.

"of course."

She leaned on his shoulder, with some inexplicable emotion in her voice, "If you want, I'm yours too."

Wu Xiaode frowned, lowered his head, and met her eyes full of water.

This woman is good at using everything as a weapon to achieve her own goals.

She is already the mistress of the Entropy family——

As a result, she was always thinking of betraying Sion, wanting to get more.

——She is a person who is true to her own desires.

Now that the situation is forcing her, of course she said so, and she is willing to do so, but in case someone else offers a higher price after leaving here——

How will she choose?
and so……

A price is needed so that she will not betray the Entropy family for the time being.

I need her full support until I am recognized by the parliament, and I have a place in the parliament again, and I can know all the plans for the world of "Heaven, Earth and Man"——

Until that time, I could no longer pay attention to her and her desires.

Wu Xiaode suddenly raised his head and looked around.

"Joan," he said.

"What?" Joan tensed up.

——He is looking around, is he trying to do something here?
Only Wu Xiaode said:

"... What is in this treasure house other than gold?"

Joan suddenly said: "Ariane, I should tell you about this matter, here are all valuable things, countless kinds of rare materials and treasures, as well as mining contracts in various worlds, land ownership certificates, etc. All are the most valuable!"

Wu Xiaode looked around and looked away.

An answer came to his mind.

"Joan, do you have a larger space to store things?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"They're all jewelry, there aren't many that are suitable for you, let me look for them..."

Joan rummaged around, and then found a crystal clear gem.

This gem is actually very precious.

But at this moment, in order to tie Elian to himself, he had no choice but to contribute.

"The gemstone of the super large storage space can take away everything here-you can use it, these treasures are needed to revive the family."

After Joan finished speaking, she handed the gemstone to Wu Xiaode.

Wu Xiaode took the gemstone and released it into the void, only to see a skeleton dragon grabbing the gemstone and swimming around the entire treasure room as quickly as lightning.

All the treasures were taken away by it, and they fell in front of Wu Xiaode again, and he opened his mouth to spit out the gems.

Wu Xiaode took the space gem.

He handed the gem to Joan.

Joan was startled, with an expression of disbelief on her face:

"...Give it to me? This is all the wealth of the Entropy family, why give it to me?"

"You are the mistress of the family, and you will be in the future," Wu Xiaode said unhurriedly, "You are in charge of the family's wealth, and you will decide all the affairs of the family in the future. For really important things, you will discuss and decide with me. As for me--"

"I'm in charge of the fight."

Joan held the cold gemstone with a somewhat astonished expression.

Back then, Xi'an paid close attention to the things in the collection showroom, and he would go to check all the collections once he got close.

The family's wealth was also taken care of by Arian's father, and he had no chance to ask about it.

What you want to do, what to buy, often need to get money from your own small coffers.

This mistress is really aggrieved.

however--

Now Ariane directly takes charge of all the wealth for himself!

Qiong thought about lightning, but her face showed emotion, she shook her head and said, "It's too much, you should take some money yourself."

She handed the gem to Wu Xiaode again.

Wu Xiaode didn't answer, just casually said:

"I have a lot of money. You keep it yourself. If you want to use it, you can spend it as you like. Don't tell me, unless it's related to the family."

Looking at his indifferent expression, Joan's heart gradually settled down.

He said he had a lot of money.

But how can his wealth be compared with that of a family?
If it is false, it proves that he values ​​himself.

If it is true, it once again proved his strength.

Joan couldn't help reaching out and stroking her hair to conceal the thousands of thoughts in her heart:

"But...these are too messy and need to be sorted out. At least there is a list, which will be easy to use in the future."

At this time, there was a roar from afar outside.

"Let's tidy up here, I'll go out and have a look - I'll leave you here with a cloud of fog to cover your figure, I'll be back in a while."

After Wu Xiaode finished speaking, he patted her on the shoulder, turned around and walked out of the treasure room.

In the treasure room of the entropy family, Joan was left alone.

Holding the space gem in her hand, she looked stunned, and countless thoughts flashed in her mind.

Parliament is in chaos now.

Ariane also left temporarily.

Do you want to take advantage of this time to escape alone?

This wealth is enough for him to use for thousands of years later.

Let's go.

Stay away from this right and wrong place!

She clenched the jewel in her hand tightly, and her breathing became short of breath.

Sudden.

A jeweled ring on her finger lit up.

— Correspondence from the family.

Joan sneered and pressed on the gemstone.

"Joan, it's me."

A thick male voice sounded.

"Father, I can tell, why do you still have the face to look for me?" Joan said softly.

"Have you obtained the method of forging figurines?" the male voice asked.

Joan looked down and said, "I got it."

"Very good, come back to the family immediately, this time you are the biggest contributor!" The male voice said.

"Father... When the Entropy family was destroyed, I asked the council for help, but no one came from the council." Joan continued.

The male voice paused for a moment, and rang again:

"You may not know that the council originally planned to go to the rescue, but now the city of the council has also been attacked, so the people I sent failed. Fortunately, you survived! This is luck!"

So fake.

It's so fake.

Joan lowered her head and said nothing for a while.

——Obviously there was no rescue, not until the end of the world.

This period of time was so long that it was even enough for "Sion" to arrive here through the secret passage.

— still no rescue.

However, the wealth of the Entropy family was almost frozen.

So father, you have reached an agreement with other families to carve up the entropy family.

As a daughter, I have been in the Entropy family for more than 800 years, and I was tortured by Xion, and I was betrayed by you at the last moment.

——Just to share the wealth of the Entropy family.

Joan looked at the space gem in her hand.

just now.

I have the wealth of the entire Entropy family, as well as the forging method of human figurines.

Why go back?
Back to a man who betrayed him?
"Come back, Joan."

As if sensing her emotional changes, the male voice became much gentler:

"As soon as you come back, I will let you take charge of a part of the power in the family, and specifically manage all the female relatives—you are my proudest daughter!"

Joan froze.

Unknowingly, a tear fell on the gem.

Manage female dependents...

800 years of suffering, in exchange for taking care of women for the family?

Unconsciously, what Ariane said just now sounded again.

"You are the mistress of the family, and you will be the mistress of the family in the future. You will be in charge of the family's wealth, and you will decide all the affairs of the family in the future. For really important things, you and I will discuss and decide together."

that power.

wealth.

trust.

as well as--

future.

Yes, I thought wrong before.

If I escape with such a huge wealth alone, let alone my family, other families will not let me go.

No matter how big and infinite the worlds are, they will find themselves.

They will pounce on them like hyenas, eat everything and wipe themselves clean.

There is really nothing left to say.

People live, only fight.

- There is never a moment to quit.

Joan wiped the corners of her eyes lightly, with a lazy smile on her face, and said softly:
"Father, you may not know one thing."

"what?"

"The Entropy family is still there, and I am still its mistress, and..."

"Now I'm in charge."
