Chapter 828 Boomerang III

Anxiety.

Melinda paced in her study room with a restless mind. Although her pipe was not lit, it was always in her mouth. Melinda hoped to use the smell of tobacco to soothe her heart at the moment.

But it was useless.

No matter what kind of tobacco, it could not solve Melinda's anxious heart at the moment.

After all...

The old lion is here!

Yesterday evening, the old lion entered Nanlos openly.

There was no sign.

It was so sudden.

And the whole Nanlos became weird with the arrival of the old lion.

All those who knew that the old lion came to Nanlos did not know why the old lion came to Nanlos, but everyone knew that since the old lion appeared, it was with full confidence that he could control the situation. This point, even the Countess of Nanlos would not deny.

Because -

The Countess felt the old lion's strong fighting spirit and...

hidden strength.

The strong fighting spirit was eye-catching.

And that looming strength?

It is enough to surprise people.

At this moment, the Countess confirmed that the old lion came to fight, and even more to "take back" his reputation.

As the old lion aged and the Countess grew up, the whole South County believed that the Countess would replace him in the near future.

Even many people thought that the current Countess was stronger than the old lion.

And the Countess thought so at some point.

But obviously, the old lion didn't think so.

As the initiator of the "pioneer era", the old lion didn't want to end like this.

This caused enough trouble for the Countess.

'I will do my best to prepare for the war. '

This is what the Countess told all her subordinates.

The words after that were not said.

But smart people can feel from this simple sentence that the Countess is not completely sure.

And once the Countess loses?

Nanlos will return to the early days of the "pioneer era": becoming a blood bag in the inner bay.

Not to mention the control of the dock, even most of the fleet of Nanlos will become the Golden Lion Family, including Melinda's.

Or...

As a relative of the Countess.

Being regarded as a die-hard of the Nanlos family, Melinda can only retain the last bit of dignity at most.

For example: a manor in the suburbs, one or two decent shops in Nanlos.

More?

No more.

Moreover, Melinda will probably not have any chance to host a salon in the next few decades.

Because she needs to stay indoors.

That manor is her place of activity, and when she dies, it will probably become her cemetery.

And this is already an "agreement between nobles".

Melinda absolutely does not want to face such a situation.

This lady wanted to go to sea more than once.

However, at this time, if she goes to sea, it is not just as simple as becoming a pirate, but completely abandoning the Nanlos family.

At that time, with the character of the tigress, she will definitely chase her desperately.

As for her staying and sending some people out?

It's even more impossible.

Because, if this kind of thing is discovered, she will be deprived of her last bit of dignity.

'Can I just leave it to fate? '

Melinda thought silently, feeling powerless.

This feeling of powerlessness aggravated the anxiety of this lady.

Then, this lady picked up a communication crystal.

This communication crystal was used by her to contact the forces on the overseas islands - once Nanlos was controlled by the Golden Lion Family, this force would become her trump card.

So, she had to make this trump card more hidden.

She couldn't stay near the sea.

Then she went to the open sea.

The moment her finger touched the communication crystal, Melinda inexplicably thought of Arthur.

'With such an obvious hint, this guy should be able to guess what happened, right?

With this guy's intelligence, he will definitely guess it.

Maybe he has already started to run away by now.

But, this guy should be even angrier, right? '

When Melinda thought of Arthur's plan for many years, which was very smooth in the early stage, but failed at this time, she felt a deep pity for Arthur.

What made her even more sad was that the two of them would probably never meet in this life.

When she thought of this, Melinda felt that her breathing was not smooth, and her chest was even more painful.

Unlike being a relative of the Nanlos family, Arthur was just an ordinary "little noble". Not to mention the friction with the little lion after leaving the port, just when he was in Nanlos, he had repeatedly destroyed the plan of the Golden Lion family-Arthur must not be alive.

Even if there is an "agreement between nobles".

But, an explanation is necessary.

Then who is more suitable than Arthur?

No.

Melinda knew her cousin's character very well.

When she thought that Arthur would be pushed out as a scapegoat, Melinda couldn't help biting her lip slightly.

She didn't want to see such a situation.

But she couldn't change anything.

Even, to a certain extent, she couldn't save herself.

‘Why don’t we run away with Arthur?

We can’t stay in South County anymore.

Let’s go to North County.

Let’s not go to the prosperous cities in North County, but to the Far North. Even with the power of the old lion, it’s impossible for him to find us in the Far North! ’

Suddenly, an impulse rose in her heart.

Subconsciously, Melinda picked up the communication crystal between her and Arthur.

However, the lady did not connect immediately.

Because the lady was not sure of Arthur's idea.

What if...

What if Arthur did not want to live in seclusion?

What if Arthur prepared other plans?

Hesitating, the lady who should have been decisive began to worry about gains and losses - she not only thought that Arthur would have other plans, but also thought about her identity.

She was just his collaborator.

Those seemingly intimate behaviors were just for others to see.

Why did she take it seriously.

How could such a thing be taken seriously?

It was so funny.

Where did this fool come from!

Melinda raised her hand and slid the match.

However, she never lit the pipe - Arthur did not like her smoking, and she would quit smoking unless she had no choice.

'Why did you think of that bastard again? '

Melinda frowned.

Then, she laughed at herself.

‘Sure enough, the sudden arrival of the old lion has thrown me into a state of panic! ’

Melinda thought to herself and began to take a deep breath.

She had to adjust as soon as possible.

She had to calm down.

Otherwise, the ensuing battle, the already tilted balance of victory and defeat, would completely fall to the side of the old lion, and they would not have the slightest chance.

‘If I borrow the power of my father and mother...

There is only a 10% chance!

And I will definitely die!

I will not be willing to let that dwarf get away with it!

Otherwise, let that dwarf sign a contract with me?

But if I am dead, what is the use of such a contract?

Is the inheritance left to Arthur?

Damn it!

Why did I think of that guy again! ’

Melinda slapped her cheek hard.

The lady was about to correct her thoughts again.

At this time, the communication crystal flickered.
