I really don't want to cross

Chapter 404 Taking You to the Cruel Reality (Part [-])
"Second Uncle, it's been a long time."

Bernard looked gloomyly at the girl who appeared in front of the road, but behind him there were less than 20 mercenaries left in the hundreds of mercenaries, and the remaining 20 were covered in bruises, not even Ricard exception.

"Is it you who has been behind the scenes?"

Ricard's bold face became extremely cold, he never imagined that the mercenary group he brought would lose so many people in such a small place, and this kind of aggrieved feeling of being calculated by others was even worse. It made him a little crazy.

Pei Lisa smiled slightly: "Leader Ricard, please don't get excited. I will report your questions to Chairman He Xin one by one after I finish handling the family affairs. That adult should also be reporting to Rasmez City right now. Come."

"Miss is coming?" Ricard was taken aback.

On one side, Bernard's pupils shrank, and there was already a faint guess in his mind.

"This is the letter that Chairman He Xin asked me to forward to you."

Pei Lisa took out an envelope from her bosom and handed it to Ricard: "I will ask Captain Ricard to give me more advice in the future."

……

"What did you just do?"

In Mirod's Mansion, Natsuki Subaru looked sleepily at Wood who came from outside. He was completely desperate... Anyway, he couldn't help him, so he might as well just stay here and sleep, even though he was heard from outside from time to time. The sound of gunfire woke me up several times.

"It's nothing."

Wood smiled slightly: "I just went out to make a summary." After that, Wood looked outside at the gradually brightening sky: "Get up and get ready, that Miss Pei Lisa should be back soon, she will arrange The dragon carriage sent us away."

"Leave now?"

Caiyue Subaru was stunned, and said a little strangely: "Don't you still want to witness the Patriarch's succession ceremony?"

"We no longer need to witness the succession ceremony."

Wood glanced at Natsuki Subaru, and that gaze made Natsuki Subaru couldn't help shivering, and suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"Although businessmen pay attention to integrity, it is when the interests are similar. Once there is a huge gap, integrity will become a bargaining chip for cooperation with the other party. What's more... now the original trader has become nothing. .”

Nayuki Subaru frowned, feeling more ominous in his heart, but no matter how he asked, Wood just told him mysteriously: "You will understand when you leave."

fidgeting...

In such an uneasy mood, Natsuki Subaru waited for nearly two hours before the guests were welcomed outside the courtyard.

Last night, the black dress was replaced with a clean white robe, which made the girl look radiant, with a sweet smile on her pretty face, and Subaru Naizuki couldn't help but froze for a moment.

Although there is a bit of an otaku habit, but more of it is surprise.

Because Pei Lisha's temperament changed drastically, as if she had become another person, with a faint sense of nobility exuding from her body.

"Wood, thank you for being here this time." Pei Lisa looked at Subaru Natsuki with a somewhat excited expression, took out a succession certificate from her arms and handed it to Subaru Natsuki, and blinked at him cutely: "Look ...I have become the head of the house."

"really?"

Nayue Subaru was taken aback, seeing the heartfelt smile on Pei Lisha's face, he couldn't help feeling a little joy in his heart.

Because this is the perfect ending he was looking forward to. Although there were many twists and turns in the process, the final ending is still good!

Thinking of this, Nayue Subaru's eyes flashed with color.

Although it didn't help much, at least this choice was made by myself, right?
"Ok!"

The girl raised her head happily: "Now I am the Patriarch of Merod."

"The succession ceremony..."

"The succession ceremony is no longer needed, and I don't think the uncles are in the mood to come to participate." Pei Lisha directly interrupted Natsuki Subaru, and said instead: "The next few of my uncles may make the final effort, Wood You and that Mr. Natsuki Subaru leave together, or they will definitely hurt you."

hurt me?
Nayue Subaru was stunned, and nodded secretly, if those guys who had no family affection at all fought back when they were dying, they would definitely not let him go.

but……

"how about you?"

"I'm fine. Now that I'm the owner of Merod, and Lord Roswaal is here, they don't dare to do anything to me."

"Hehe~~"

The playful laughter came, which made the two people present stunned, and they all looked at Wood in the room at the same time.

"What's the matter? Mr. Natsuki Subaru..."

A nervousness flashed in Pei Lisha's eyes for some reason, but she immediately hid it.

"It's nothing."

Wood shook his head: "Since it's so dangerous, of course we have to leave immediately, but I wonder if Miss Pei Lisha has the dragon carriage ready?"

Hearing this, Pei Lisa took a deep look at Wood, and then smiled.

"Of course, the dragon carriage is already waiting outside the courtyard."

"Let's go then."

Wood nodded, and took the lead to walk outside, as if he didn't want to have any more conversations with Pei Lisha.

Natsuki Subaru glanced at Wood, and then at Pei Lisa in front of him.

what happened?

Looking at the appearances of these two people, it was obvious that something was hiding from him, and...Pei Lisha's appearance of seeing off guests was too obvious, right?
Are you worried that you will be in danger?
Natsuki Subaru followed Wood while thinking.

After walking out of the yard, Natsuki Subaru shook his head, and stopped thinking about these troublesome things, anyway, it's all over.

"Then we'll go."

Thinking of this, Caiyue Subaru turned over and jumped on the dragon carriage: "You have to be careful, those uncles of yours are not good people."

There was a smile on Pei Lisha's face, and she nodded seriously: "Yeah!"

She stood still and waved at the dragon carriage going away, watching the dragon carriage turn the corner and disappear from her field of vision.

"What an interesting man."

The heart-warming smile on Pei Lisha's face gradually turned indifferent, and she turned and left the place.

……

"Obviously only one night has passed, but it feels like several days have passed."

Caiyue Subaru looked at the dilapidated buildings on both sides of the street and the residents with pain and sorrow on their faces, and sighed slightly: "Pei Lisa should compensate for these losses, right?"

"Well, if given the chance, she will compensate."

Wood glanced at Nayue Subaru, and the corner of his mouth curled up: "Do you still remember the answer I gave you last night?"

"what?"

"Family affection is an obligation, friendship is utilization, love is a necessary means to vent desires, and wealth and power are things that are truly close to life; family affection will be lost to time, friendship will be lost to money, and love will be lost to family circumstances. Time has no way Avoid, but having money and power will allow you to win two rounds in most of the cases in this 'harsh reality'."

Wood's arc became wider and wider, and that smile made Natsuki Subaru feel a little chill in his heart, and he swallowed involuntarily.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the cruel reality."
