Restarting the myth
Chapter 187: Confiscating the House by Order
The time comes at night.
The twins emerged from the ruins with disgraced faces. They were too poor at math and wandered around the maze of stone passages for a long time. It took them until their magic power dissipated to get through this level.
This is the result of not studying hard. If Wayne hadn't been an upright man, the high priest would have been screwed.
The twins cleaned up the battlefield, awakened more than a dozen fellow Moonlight Church members, escorted Doreen into a prison, and cleaned up the mess in the stronghold.
Wayne borrowed a piece of clothing, put it on, treated Philomena, and recruited the twins to take care of the high priest.
If you have anything to do, let's wait until he wakes up. He is very busy now and has more important things to do.
With that said, he picked up Mona and Chris, one on each shoulder, and left the library.
He walked through the sewers, found the location of Landau Manor, identified himself through the magic circle, and entered the young master's exclusive villa.
He put the two girls in two bedrooms respectively, took a shower, got a haircut, changed into a clean shirt and went to Alston's study.
Auston wasn't home, and neither was Meghan.
It was just time for dinner, and Wayne and Veronica had dinner with their eyes wide open.
Xifei was originally there, but suddenly felt unwell and lost her appetite, so she left;
There was originally a candlestick, but Veronica pulled out the candles one by one and broke them all into two pieces in front of Wayne;
There were roses and the vase thrown out of the window by Veronica.
All in all, she advised Wayne to eat honestly and not think about things that didn't exist.
Wayne shrugged. The dishonest person was clearly Veronica. She just had a meal and never had any leisure time.
After the meal, Veronica hooked her fingers and asked Wayne to accompany her to do some after-dinner exercises at the eldest lady's exclusive villa.
Wayne readily agreed and would give him benefits every time Veronica hooked her fingers, and this time was expected to be no exception.
Unfortunately, Auston went home.
"I still have business to do, so I won't mess around with you."
Wayne put off his heir airs and patted Veronica on the shoulder: "You go back first, and I'll play with you when I'm done."
Veronica:
She gritted her teeth and watched as the two social wastes went to the study together. She wanted to follow them, but Megan blocked the way.
"Miss, the young master is discussing something very important with me. This is related to the family's future strategy. Please wait a moment." Megan was so serious that people couldn't refuse.
Veronica felt bad. She leaned in to listen and found that Megan had set up a soundproof barrier.
Even worse!
She clenched her fists and stood aside full of resentment, waiting for the two social trash to come out and give her an explanation.
…
In the study room.
Auston was sitting on the sofa playing with ancient silver coins. He didn't know what he thought of, and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising, and he couldn't suppress it.
He endured it for a day, and finally it was time to laugh wildly.
On the opposite side, Wayne recounted what happened today: "I have told Deputy Minister Yvette about the situation. You must already know that Orb is a traitor and launched a series of attacks against the Moonlight Church."
Auston nodded and glanced at Wayne: "I know everything I need to know, but you didn't tell Yvette why Orb attacked the Moonlight Church."
Wayne frowned: "I can tell you, but you can't tell the Ministry of Magic."
"There is no need to hide it. The truth will be known once you find out. Even if you don't tell it, the Ministry of Magic can find out. Those legendary mages may not understand Orb's plan, but they know themselves and know that they also know what Orb needs." Auston said bluntly.
Thinking that this was indeed the case, Wayne had no choice but to tell the truth about Chris possessing divine blood.
Orb wanted to seize the Son of God, and he also used an obelisk. His plan was huge and his ambitions were not small.
Alston narrowed his eyes slightly: "Sure enough, these legendary mages are the same in the end, even the reasons for betrayal are the same."
At best, he was ambitious for freedom, but at worst, he didn't want to pay after the meal and even turned the table over.
"Where is that girl? Is she at the Moonlight Church stronghold?"
"No, I brought him back. It's in my bedroom."
"..."
Auston was silent for a while and looked at Wayne very dissatisfied: "Sacred blood is indeed very precious. You have enough reasons to keep her by your side. From the perspective of the head of the family, I have no reason to blame you, but I It’s still Veronica’s father who won’t approve of you having a lover outside.”
There is only one person, who do you look down on!
Wayne lowered his eyebrows and refused to refute. It was indeed his fault to give up on something good, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, it was his first love.
Seeing that Wayne was particularly well-behaved, Auston was even more unhappy and snorted: "Do you think if you don't speak, I will turn a blind eye and let you get over this matter? Will Veronica ask me in the future? Get up, will you use me as a shield and say that I acquiesce? "
Seeing that Lao Deng was not easy to fool, Wayne stopped pretending and glanced towards the study.
"I told you, Meghan is different!"
"But you have never denied that in the eyes of outsiders, she is your lover."
Wayne was very curious as to how Auston did it, even if the teacher didn't beat him half to death, and his attitude towards Megan was very calm, as if he had acquiesced that his husband had a lover.
There must be something to say here!
Auston did not want to tell the reason, but stated his position as a father, and decisively jumped to the next topic: "Orb was swallowed by the void worm. This excuse... is not a good one."
The legendary wizards of the Ministry of Magic are not fools. They have all entered the astral world and know how low the possibility of encountering a star beast is. Void worms are a relatively rare species, so the possibility is even lower.
Almost impossible.
Auston looked at Wayne curiously. The latter was wrapped in the life force field of the legendary wizard. What happened during that time? Why did Orb choose to open the door of truth when he had an absolute advantage?
What method did Wayne use to force Orb to take this path?
If it was a strong strength, Orb could not win and had to do it. Auston was somewhat unconvinced.
"I am not lying. Orb is seeking his own death. I don't know why he opened the door of truth. Anyway, he was eaten by the void worm. The high priest of the Moonlight Church can testify." Wayne said aggrievedly. He has witnesses.
"Do you think the Ministry of Magic will believe the collusion confession?"
Auston waved his hand and continued: "The specific situation will be confirmed by the legendary wizard himself. If it is really the void worm, it will definitely be found out."
"It is so dangerous, aren't they afraid that the void worm has not left and will be delivered directly to the door?" Wayne was surprised.
"Why should the void worm stay?"
That's right.
Wayne nodded. That's the reason. You can't just sit back and wait for the worm to eat enough.
Impossible, impossible.

Knowing that the Ministry of Magic will clear his name, Wayne immediately stopped panicking. There are witnesses and evidence, and no one can wrongly accuse him.
"The Moonlight Church has lost too many people. In order to shut up the Moonlight Church, the Ministry of Magic will definitely make concessions." Auston frowned and said. He could even imagine the task assigned to Wayne by the Ministry of Magic.
He had seen the photo of Philomena. If you don't speak in secret, the little trash can will definitely not be able to control himself and will die for the country while shouting the slogan of justice.
Very upset, this is the heir of the Landau family, not the socialite of the Ministry of Magic!
In terms of the interests of the family, Austin is happy to see this scene. He has a high priest, and Wayne also has a high priest. If the two sides cooperate, all three families will make money.
But again, as a father, he doesn't want his daughter to be wronged.
"You can rest assured about the high priest, I'm just playing with her."
Wayne sneered again and again, and seeing Austin's face fall, he explained: "It's not that kind of play, it's very simple. To be honest, I don't like this woman very much."
"Really, she is so beautiful."
"Auston, you know us, the skin is not important, what is important is the soul, just like you and the teacher, you pursue the teacher not because she is beautiful." Wayne said righteously.
"..."
"Auston, speak up!"
"What are you talking about, I said she is not good-looking, and then you tell tales?"
Austin smiled contemptuously, all low-level tricks, none of which were on the stage.
He continued, "You said you don't like that woman, I'll believe you for once, remember your promise, don't let me down."
"Just wait and see!"
Wayne was full of confidence. Philomena was very beautiful, but she was too mean. In order to pull him back to the Moonlight Church, she used the beauty trap, and she also used her status to pressure Chris to use the beauty trap together.
Although he was a little happy, but if he put Chris's feelings into it, pure love mixed with interest disputes, this plan would be very bad.
Wayne had already thought about it, just cpu the high priest, wait until the other party loves him to death, and then kick him away.
This is called retribution!
After saving the beauty twice in a row, he felt that this was a sure thing.
Wayne looked so confident that he didn't know why, which made Austin very puzzled. He didn't ask more questions, waiting for Wayne to prove himself in the future, and said about the arrangement of the Ministry of Magic today: "Ob is finished, and the families close to him will be strictly investigated recently. The investigation team is selecting people, and I have a great chance to join the game."
Wayne's eyes lit up, and he understood what Austin meant.
The old Buddha has ordered to select the imperial envoy, and the family will be confiscated soon.
This job is very lucrative!
"Auston, do you think I can do it?" Wayne asked with a shameless face.
"You are not a member of the Tulip Family yet, and the Ministry of Magic will not consider you."
Auston shook his head, paused for a moment and said: "But you can participate in this matter on my behalf. Just like the previous business negotiations, you will complete the task as the heir of the family."
Wayne nodded repeatedly, wishing he could rush to Ob's house and search him for tens of millions of taels of gold and silver, and hand over hundreds of thousands of them to the treasury.
"Don't be happy too soon. Orb's last name is Windsor. The minister has both sons and daughters. He will not give the most profitable task to the Landau family."
Auston saw through Wayne's heart and said, "The rewards allocated to us will not be too much. We can make money, but not a lot. Wait until the news is confirmed and you will complete the task."
Wayne looked disappointed. It was not the lair of the legendary wizard, but only the affiliated family with close relationship with him. The money of these poor guys had been taken away by Orb long ago, and the remaining melons and dates were clearly sent to beggars.
A pure passerby, the queen's eating manner is too ugly.
Who said that there is no money to be made without oil and water?
Auston smiled and said nothing. How to make money, how to make money, this is a knowledge. He would not remind Wayne, let him play freely, sum up experience and lessons to grow.
He believed in the talent of the little trash can and would not let himself down.
"One more thing!"
Orb died in the afternoon, and the Ministry of Magic held an emergency meeting. There is no rush to divide the spoils, that's all for the future. Now we have to give an explanation to the Moonlight Church.
At the same time, the investigation of Orb and his accomplices cannot be left behind. Only by investigating thoroughly can we confirm the list of confiscated property.
Only when the queen makes money can everyone make money.
Auston asked Wayne to stop daydreaming and said seriously: "Don't leave Landan for a while. The minister will confer you an honor as the queen. On that day, I will arrange for you to officially become the heir of the Landau family."
"So soon?"
Wayne was surprised and put on a pure face: "I thought you would delay for a while. After all... this is also related to Veronica, the engagement... you know what I mean."
Auston's face darkened and he waved his hand to skip the topic.
It would be better to kill him than to make him admit the engagement.
Therefore, the engagement is impossible. If you can delay it, delay it. If you can't delay it, discuss it again.
As for the identity of Wayne's heir, Auston had thought about it. People outside said that Wayne was his illegitimate son. He explained, but no one believed him, so he just used it as an excuse.
Smart people are good at deceiving themselves. Auston knew it was impossible, but he still used this excuse to deceive himself.
"Speaking of accomplices, I have another clue."
Wayne said: "Ob's partner, the Thousand Eyes Demon, was killed. I asked, it was not done by the Church. I suspect there is another traitor in the Ministry of Magic, who is hiding deeper than Orb."
Auston frowned: "I know, you don't have to worry about these, the Ministry of Magic will investigate, just wait for the news."
Wayne frowned: "Too perfunctory, my life is in danger, what if the traitor finds me?"
"The situation is complicated, everyone wants to throw dirty water on Orb, they are all busy, no one will touch you now." Auston asked Wayne to relax, they were all anxious to settle the accounts, they were all busy, and they had no time to pay attention to him.
"Are you sure?" Wayne was skeptical.
"Yeah."
"..."
Seeing that Auston didn't care, Wayne was very dissatisfied with his father-in-law. Just when he wanted to complain, he was interrupted by Auston.
"The obelisk is gone, and Orb's ancient silver coin is also lost. These two items are the property of the Ministry of Magic. To be honest, are they in your hands?" Auston looked at Wayne.
Wayne shook his head directly. He didn't have the ability to take the obelisk away, and he didn't even see the ancient silver coin. He didn't want to take the blame.
Megan: "..."
"It's better to be like this. These two items are very important. The Ministry of Magic will not give up tracking them down." Auston warned, lowered his head and played with the ancient silver coin.
After Wayne got up and left the study, he took out another ancient silver coin.
The things were a little hot, but there was no reason to refuse the treasure that was picked up for free. Think about other uses of the ancient silver coin.
Orb desperately reminded everyone that there are many uses for the ancient silver coin. Don't stick to the form. Be bolder and everything is possible.
Auston agreed with that, playing with the ancient silver coin while thinking about the possibilities.
Bang!
With a loud bang, the glass shattered.
Auston was stunned for a moment, his face showed ecstasy, he quickly rushed to the window, and poked his head out with joy showing his back teeth.
"That's great!"
He didn't fly today, this is the point.
————
Time goes back to two minutes ago.
Wayne walked out of the study and just closed the door when he was grabbed by the collar by Veronica who was waiting.
He waved to Megan, but the effect was average. The housekeeper's eyes were dull, as if she was sleepwalking.
Veronica dragged Wayne to the end of the corridor, raised her fist and put it down, and raised it again as she thought about it.
She wanted to ask the question in person, but her modesty and shame prevented her from speaking. She gritted her teeth and said to Wayne: "What did you two talk about? What about the future of the family? Why didn't Megan let me in?"
"These things are too dark. Megan is doing this for your own good."
Wayne patted Veronica's shoulder and smiled casually: "I'm different. You know my quality. It's easy to blend into the darkness."
Veronica's face changed and she couldn't speak.
"Leave it to me. You just need to be happy."
Wayne put his arm around Veronica's shoulder and hugged her in his arms when she was not prepared: "Believe me, you are important. Auston wants to protect you, and I want to protect you too. It's that simple."
Veronica lay in Wayne's arms, smelling the smell of social garbage, and her mind was very complicated.
"By the way, the identity of my family's heir will be confirmed in a few days. You must be mentally prepared. Regarding the engagement..."
Bang!
Wayne broke out of the window, smashed the window behind him, and flew far away.
The man touched his chin in mid-air and continued, "The engagement has not been finalized yet. I know you are anxious, but don't be anxious, because I am not anxious at all."
Veronica looked at the direction of the grove angrily. Passing by the door of the study, she noticed Megan's sympathetic eyes and snorted again.
What is there to sympathize with? If she doesn't nod, the engagement will never be valid, and social scum will never touch her in this life.
...
Let's talk about Wayne, covering his face and returning to the young master's exclusive villa.
The swelling has not subsided, so it will be useful to keep it, and I will sell my misery at breakfast tomorrow.
"You acted so quickly, and I also want to tell you that the senior sister you admire is lying in my bedroom..."
Veronica was still irritable tonight. Wayne decided to leave her alone for a few more days. He opened the room where Mona was and looked. She was still not awake, so he went to check on Chris next door.
When he entered the room, he saw the senior sister sitting by the bed, with cold eyes and very ruthless.
After hearing the sound of the door opening, Chris woke up and came to him carefully, asking with concern: "Wayne, what's the matter with the wound on your face?"
"When I was saving you, I was hit by mistake. It's a minor injury. The swelling will go away tomorrow." Wayne said it in passing, asking Chris not to take it to heart.
Liar, it was obviously Veronica who hit me!
Chris knew it well and respected Wayne's lie.
Just think about it, Wayne fought hard to save her, and it was a miracle that he survived. He must have been beaten a lot.
This is the truth!
She raised her hand to touch Wayne's cheek, her fingertips blurred the moonlight, reducing swelling and bruises, and said gently: "Does it still hurt?"
"A little bit, I have a folk remedy here, it works immediately." Wayne pointed to his face and whispered to Chris.
Chris nodded with a red face, stood on tiptoe and kissed Wayne on the face.
"Does it still hurt?"
"It has moved, and my mouth is starting to hurt."
Chris smiled and gently touched Wayne's mouth.
"What about now?"
"..."
No way, senior sister, are you serious?
Wayne pursed his lips, savoring the aftertaste. Seeing that Chris lowered her head and did not move, he pressed her against the wall in a fit of rage.
Head down, hands up, sweep...
