Age of Heroes, ten consecutive guarantees

Deep in the manor, under a banyan tree, there is a swing hanging.

This is the deepest part of the manor, with almost no one approaching.

The swing was swinging, and a woman in a long skirt sat on the wooden frame, her body swaying, ups and downs.

The elders waiting on the side looked at this scene and thought that the eldest lady was still a child at heart.

It was quiet here late at night, and watching the eldest lady swinging alone on the swing, she didn't look so beautiful, but instead looked desolate and lonely, which aroused a bit of sympathy for him, an old man in the family.

After a while, the elder spoke.

"Miss..."

"Huh?" He cast a glance from the swing, with a hint of scrutiny in his dark red eyes.

"On behalf of the head of the family." The elder changed his words.

The swing stopped shaking a lot and slowed down a lot. Ilsa said calmly: "Speak directly and don't beat around the bush. I know that as you have just inherited the position of the head of the family, it is inevitable that some people will find trouble in secret."

"I support you in inheriting the position of head of the family, but what was said at the meeting was too absolute." The elder asked tentatively: "Do you really want to break off the engagement?"

"The engagement was in name only."

"Donghuang seeks fame, Laurent seeks truth... If you lose this status, the assistance from Donghuang will be cut off in the future, and the biggest support behind you will be cut off. Those family elders will reconsider. The elder analyzed seriously: "Furthermore, once the engagement is cancelled, the nobles behind them will no longer be afraid... They have invested so much before and will never stop until Laurent is wiped out."

"I understand everything you said." Ilsa tilted her head: "But there is no best way to solve this matter. If I cannot inherit the position of the head of the family and let my uncle take the position of the head of the family, the result will be the same. , or even worse.”

"He will send me to Rome as quickly as possible, using the excuse of completing the engagement, and he will not care whether my father is dead or alive after his disappearance...if he leaves it in my hands, at least it can last for some time, Laurent It may decay, but it won’t be swallowed up in one bite.”

The elder suggested: "You can be conceited. After inheriting the position of acting head of the family, you can delay the completion of the engagement... ten or eight years is not too short."

"It could have been like this." Ilsa suddenly stopped swinging on the swing: "But the problem is that the young master from Donghuang is really here..."

"What?" the elder said in surprise, "When did it happen?"

"I guess it will be the middle of winter in the next two days." Ilsa took out a letter and threw it to the elder: "President Melusina of Donghuang had already sent a letter to the family, which mentioned this matter. If he comes to Midwinter, he will definitely come to the Laurentian family. By then, the engagement will no longer be a verbal agreement and will be confirmed... If the engagement is not cancelled, this incident will become an excuse for my uncle's group to attack me. "

After the elder read it, he felt that it was an unlucky thing to come, but he also felt that the other party's coming was reasonable.

The two parties have a cooperative relationship, there is no need to avoid suspicion, and the Queen's birthday is coming, so it is normal to come here.

But to cancel the engagement so directly, or to cancel it when the other party came to see his fiancée... It was a slap in Dong Huang's face.

Bai Potian is a businessman. Although he doesn't care much about his face, he is a saint, and he is the kind of saint who is particularly good at fighting.

More importantly, he protects the calf.

His love of finding wives for his grandsons was well known in Rome, even in the middle of winter.

Although few people in Rome have seen Bai Yu, they all know that Bai Potian only has one grandson. The Bai family is such a single grandson, so it is impossible not to love him very much.

If Ilsa breaks off the engagement, even if Bai Potian doesn't mind, how will the young master of Donghuang feel? He can't be slapped like the Dragon Prince and say he has to endure it, right?

Even if the Dragon Prince chooses to endure it, it would still be a slap to his wife... But you haven't gone through with it yet.

The more the elder thought about it, the more he felt that this could not be done. He advised, "If we get Donghuang's support, we may not be able to suppress other objections."

Ilsa said calmly: "It's the middle of winter here. I can leave, but what about my missing father?"

"Donghuang's deterrent power is useless in the middle of winter. The real deterrent power is canonization."

"But Mr. Bai is not here, otherwise uncle and the others would not dare to be so presumptuous."

"What they are fighting for is the time difference..."

The elder still wanted to struggle and asked: "Is there really no way?"

"If that young master from Donghuang had Grandpa Bai's abilities, maybe it would be possible, but it's a pity..."

Ilsa shook her head and sighed. As far as she knew, the young master from Donghuang was less than twenty years old, so he could not be expected to have the prestige and ability to overwhelm the entire family.

At this time, a maid walked into the courtyard.

"Miss, elder... guests have arrived."

"Where did the guest come from?" The elder waved his hand: "If he is not a distinguished guest, let him go back."

"They are the president of Donghuang from Rome, and... the young master of the Bai family."

The elder was stunned, and immediately looked at Ilsa, thinking that this must have happened too soon.

The woman jumped off the swing and said calmly: "Let's go, we can't keep the guests waiting."

The elder sighed silently, wondering how a good marriage could end up like this.

Ilsa didn't mind this at all.

It turns out that Laurent borrowed a name, and the engagement was originally in name only.

When her father comes back, she will bear the consequences of breaking off the engagement.

There are always people who have to make sacrifices for the family, and I owe the family so much that I can't even repay it in five hundred years.

…

"Is this the Laurentian family?"

"That's right." Melusina noticed Bai Yu's strange eyes and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"No." Bai Yu looked at the family emblem on the steel gate: "I always feel that this emblem looks quite familiar."

He thought he had seen something similar somewhere, and the similarity was about 50% to 60%.

For a moment, I couldn't remember exactly where I saw it.

But soon it was too late to dwell on this issue.

People from the Laurent family came to greet them. They all had foreign faces, and Bai Yu couldn't really tell them apart.

When distinguished guests come to visit, they must also show enough sincerity to entertain them, at least they must have pomp and ceremony.

While Bai Yu was listening to Melusina chatting with the elders of the Lorenning family with a cold business expression on her face, a dinner party was already arranged.

At the banquet, Bai Yu was forced to stand and shake hands with a group of complete strangers.

"This is the young master of the Donghuang family. He is really a talented person."

"Hello, Mr. Bai. Mr. Bai Potian and I are old friends. You and I need to get close to each other."

"Master Bai, I have a niece who can sing, dance, and play the piano. She admires Daxia very much. If you are interested, take her with you when you return..."

Everyone who said good things was smiling and looked very satisfied and valued towards Bai Yu.

Bai Yu cursed in his heart, even if he was a fat man weighing 280 pounds, panting when he walked, and his face was full of flesh, they could still say what they just said without changing their expressions or heartbeat, as if they really meant it.

This is the charming moment of power and status.

It doesn't matter what kind of person Bai Yu is, you just need to know that he is the successor of Donghuang. Even if he crosses the sea and cross the country, there are still many people who are eager to please him.

Bai Yu felt more and more that it was the right thing for him to never participate in banquets of any nature when he was in Rome, and never show up in public.

Melusina is very adaptable to this kind of banquet performance, which also means that she has experienced this kind of flattery and approach with ulterior motives countless times.

Bang bang bang...

The sudden applause changed the atmosphere of the banquet.

A middle-aged man entered the banquet living room, and then approached very enthusiastically: "The president and young master of Donghuang Group are here to welcome us. It's hard to welcome us from afar."

Melusina stood sideways in front of Bai Yu and said calmly: "Who are you?"

"Let me introduce myself, I am Morse from the Laurentian family." The middle-aged man picked up a glass of red wine and said, "Ilsa, she is my niece."

Melusina asked indifferently: "So Mr. Morse, what do you want to say?"

"It's not a big deal." Morse Laurent narrowed his eyes slightly: "I just feel that... Master Bai and Ilsa are not a good match."

This sentence immediately triggered many chain reactions in the banquet.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Hurry up and apologize to Master Bai!"

"Donghuang cannot be insulted, Morse, are you crazy?"

"Calm down, calm down, everyone." Morse raised his hand and pressed down: "I'm not saying that Master Bai is not qualified, but I'm saying that Ilsa is not worthy... Laurentine is trying too hard."

"This sentence is inappropriate for you." Melusina tapped her fingers on the goblet, her voice echoed crisply, and she said with a cold look: "It is up to us to decide whether to climb high or not."

Mors shook the red wine glass in his hand. Faced with Melusina's powerful aura, he calmly took a step back and said calmly: "Don't be too harsh, Miss President... This engagement was originally meant to be... It’s a bit forced, why not get it back on track?”

Melusina said nothing, but a crack appeared on the wine glass she was holding.

No one in Rome dared to speak to her like that.

In the middle of winter, everyone knew how much the Laurentian family had received from Bai Potian.

As a result, he had not shown up for just a few months, and these people showed such ugly behavior. Does this mean... that they want to terminate the engagement?

Melusina asked calmly: "Is this what you mean, or is it the meaning of the Laurent family as a whole?"

Immediately some elders nearby said: "It's all Morse's own opinion!"

"We will not support him!"

"Morse, how dare you be so rude to our distinguished guest, get out of here!"

Correspondingly, there are also a backbone of veterans who support Morse.

"The original engagement was unreasonable."

"The head of the family made a marriage contract, but now that the head of the family is gone, it's time to reconsider."

"..."

All kinds of rhetoric were used, and the banquet scene once again turned into a quagmire of quarrels.

This is also the effect Morse needs.

This is the result he deliberately created.

If Ilsa is allowed to break off the engagement privately, this matter may not become a big deal. Ilsa will still take over the position of the head of the family, and he will still not be able to sit on the position of the head of the family.

And now, bringing this matter out of the way creates a dilemma for Ilsa.

If Ilsa admits that she wants to break off the engagement, Donghuang will definitely be furious. Ilsa will also be responsible for this matter. The backbone of the elders who originally supported the family leader will reconsider their position. It is only a matter of time before they seize power.

If she doesn't admit that she wants to break off the engagement, then force her to get married quickly. As long as she goes to Rome, Laurentine's position as head of the family will also fall into her hands.

Morse blocked both roads, and the next step was to wait for Ilsa to come forward.

"Okay, stop arguing."

He had already seen the other party appearing at the other end of the banquet hall, so he raised his voice and asked in public.

"Ilsa, now you are the acting head of the family, and everything is decided by yourself."

"Should this engagement continue or be annulled?"

The elder at the banquet gate not far away had a livid face and secretly thought that this situation was simply terrible.

He should have come directly to settle the situation. Unexpectedly, Morse had already left an informant in the manor and came here to make a fool of himself.

How does this make the head of the family step down?

It's clearly a dilemma.

He was about to open his mouth to build a step.

At the same time, her eyes were crazy and hinted, letting Ilsa excuse herself by saying she was not feeling well, and put it off as long as she could... Making a decision immediately on the spot was undoubtedly an irrational choice.

Unexpectedly, Ilsa, who had already changed into a banquet evening dress, stepped directly into the banquet venue.

The beautiful dark red eyes swept across the crowd, passed over Morse's body, and then landed on the young man in the center of the banquet.

"break off an engagement?"

The corners of his lips raised in question.

She stared straight at Bai Yu with her beautiful dark red eyes.

In the shallow smile, two fangs were exposed.

"When did I say..."

"Are you going to break off the engagement?"

Looking around, the bright red magic power surged like a tidal wave, and she said loudly.

"Everyone in the Laurentian family, please listen to me——"

"In this life, I will not marry anyone other than Mr. Yu!"
