Count of Monte Cristo

Champs Elysees Avenue NO.20.In the spacious and bright study room, there are several newspapers spread out on the desk.On the top is the "Alert", with the headline: "Izvestia published yesterday that the news about Carlos' escape and Barcelona's mutiny is baseless. King Carlos has not left Bourges, and the peninsula is still peaceful Medium. This error is caused by the mistransmission of the emergency signal in the fog.

Lin Ke did a rough calculation, and because of the misleading false news this time, Danglars lost at least 100 million francs at once.And Edmund was deploying the French and Manfred Banks a month ago, and they will be closed in a few days. At that time, Tanglars will lose at least another 100 million francs.And his total assets are at most around three to five million.This is really a big blow to him.After losing 500 million, how can he make up the shortfall?

Edmund kept secret about this, and only told him to wait and see.But Lin Ke, a good-for-nothing, couldn't remember where the plot of the original novel was going, so he had to follow Edmond's train of thought. Anyway, he knew the ending was perfect.Lin Ke put down the newspaper, and Edmond was drinking tea.This is his uninterrupted hobby for seven years, a cup of tea in the morning.

"Villefort must be investigating you now!"

"Ah."

"After what happened at Villa Auteuil, he will definitely investigate you again, and he will definitely be more careful than last time. There will be no problem with your arrangement, right?"

"It's you who are talking about worrying." Edmund pulled Link to his side, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

Lin Ke murmured, "A wise man has a lot to worry about, but he also makes mistakes."

"He can't take care of himself."

Edmund took out a piece of paper and handed it to Lin Ke.

"She really did that?"

"When the return exceeds [-]%, people dare to jump off the cliff knowing that there is a cliff ahead."

"Villefort may think this is an accident, but there are so many accidents." The paper is the news from Villefort's family. The last time they had a banquet, Villefort's former father-in-law passed away. Now the news is from Villefort. The former mother-in-law also died, and the latest news is that his father's servant also died.In less than a month's time, one after another of the death incidents occurred, causing people in the city to talk about it.There were two funerals at Villefort's house, and bad luck was upon him.All this was under Edmond's control, but he didn't expect Madame de Villefort to be so vicious. Compassion flashed in his heart, but was suppressed by hatred.The next target will be on Fernan, but now he is still out of the storm.Although everything is going well, there is still an accident, which is the appearance of Steven and Jack.They appeared suddenly and obviously aimed at them, but everything was unclear, which made Lin Ke feel the crisis.

"Jacob said that Steven left Paris."

"Jack is still in Paris, and all around us," said Edmund.

"Why did he confront us?" Lin Ke was always puzzled. They had no interest relationship with Jack at all. His goal was Steven, but Steven had nothing to do with them.But what was the meaning of the hijacking of Heidi that night and the pointed words.

Edmund remained calm, his expression was indifferent. "At that time, his expression seemed to have found what he had always wanted. I guess maybe Heidi's necklace gave him some clues."

"Heidi's necklace?" Lin Ke frowned, Heidi's necklace was originally in the treasure, "Could it be?" He blurted out, "He is for the treasure?"

Edmund looked solemn, "It may not be impossible!"

"But," Lin Ke hesitated, "but how would he know about the treasure?" Edmond once told him that Father Faria told him about the treasure, and that Father Faria was sure that The Pada family has become extinct and has no heirs at all.Father Faria was the only person who cracked the secret of the will, and he only told Edmond the secret, so Jack found them because of the treasure?Is this guess possible?

"Priest Faria used to be the private secretary of the last Count Spada, the heir to the treasure, and helped him manage his life. Count Spada had no wife and children, and lived a mediocre life. He died Then he gave Father Faria both his five thousand books and the famous prayer book, and from the prayer book Father Faria found out the secret of the treasure." Edmund got up and took out another copy. The book, he spread out, contained the will in it, which had been broken into three pieces, and Edmund had preserved it with a special potion.There is also a piece of intact paper, which is a complete will put together by Father Faria, which records the secret of the treasure.Father Faria once made Edmond know every word of the above by heart.

"The Pope once wanted to get him, but there was no way. The Spada family has been looking for it for 300 years, but there is no trace. Now it is in my hand. The necklace of Heidi is left by the Spada family. , they are the most powerful and ancient family in the fifteenth century, and those diamond jewels worth millions cannot be used and must be passed on to future generations."

"According to this, maybe Jack has a relationship with the Spada family?"

"Look, these two badges." Edmund took out two more badges, which were oval in shape, depicting the upright front paws of a lion, the mane standing up, the mouth roaring, and the whole body was surprisingly thin and hairy; The color is red or gold, and the tongue and claws complement each other in color.The embossing is exquisite and the pattern is fine, and the two badges exude golden light.

"This is the emblem of the Spada family. Jack's expression at the time told me that he was very familiar with these two emblems, and he also had a strange expression on Heidi's necklace."

Lin Ke knew that in European history, badges could be called symbols of glory and blood.Almost all top-level luxury goods and private residences use the badge as the highest proof of the family, thus becoming the blood label adhered to by countless aristocratic groups all over the world.The coat of arms of Europe is the business card of those rich and nobles, and it is the proof of their noble blood.This badge is often embroidered on clothes, accessories, and swords, and their mural walls also have patterns of this badge.Even the fisherman Fernan got a family crest after he developed to show the purity of his blood.

"Since he knew the secret of the treasure, why didn't he go get it earlier?" Even the badge and necklace knew it, and they only knew it after researching the history of the Spada family after getting the treasure.

Edmund shrugged, "Maybe God knows why."

"If he is really a member of the Spada family, what are you going to do?"

"Honey, this is just our guess." Edmund looked at the inexplicably serious Lin Ke with a smile, and he was seriously thinking about the disposal of the treasure.

"At that time, Priest Faria told me that the treasure may have 200 million Roman ecu, which is equivalent to about 300 million ecu according to our money. In fact, we got that much. If he really He is the heir of the Spada family, so just return the 300 million yuan to him." Seeing Lin Ke's tangled expression, Edmond said coldly, "However, I don't want him to interrupt me. plan. I have been preparing for this revenge for seven years, no one can destroy it, no one can destroy it!"

Lin Ke nodded and understood Edmond's plan. He is a common man, because he has enjoyed a luxurious life for so many years with that treasure, and he couldn't stand it if he gave all the money to others all at once.How entangled he would be if he couldn't enjoy so many delicious, delicious, and fun things in the future.Lin Ke felt relieved when he heard that Edmond was planning to return him 300 million ecu.Over the years, Edmund has invested in many industries and made a lot of profits. Even if they pay back these, they can still live well.

Lin Ke's little Jiujiu, Edmund knows it all. "Now you can rest assured."

Linko nodded with a grin.Lin Ke has been raised very delicately over the years, not to mention that even Jacob enjoys it very much. If they go back to seven years ago when they were still on the Maiden, they would probably not be able to bear it.It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal!

"We should find out Jack's identity as soon as possible. If it's really for the treasure, it's easy." Lin Ke said.
