This cocktail party is undoubtedly a wonderful night for most people, singing and dancing, cheerful and comfortable.

Even if the cocktail party is over, it can still be regarded as a midsummer night's dream and will be savored for a long time.

But for some people, life has to continue, and suffering is not over.

This is the situation that the mother and daughter of the Steve family are facing now. In their opinion, the mineral tycoon is actually similar to Servet Taros. No matter who buys their mineral company, they will face the fact that their only pillar industry is sold at a low price.

On the second day after the cocktail party, according to the results of the auction, they had to go to Renas with the equity agreement to sign a contract with Sevit Taros and get 4,000 gold pounds belonging to them.

"Mother, I'm ready."

Scarlett opened the door in a simple long dress. As the only descendant of the Steve family, under the current situation, she must stand up and help her mother share part of the affairs.

"Try the white dress I bought for you before!"

Mrs. Steve looked at her daughter, who was dressed very conservatively than usual, and shook her head helplessly and said.

"But I don't want to..."

Scarlett knew what that white dress looked like, and even though she was open-minded enough, she blushed and her heart beat when wearing it.

"If we lose Steve Minerals, we will be just a mother and daughter who owes debts. At that time, the situation we face will be a hundred times more difficult than now... It's not a question you want to or not, but we must make some choices in order to survive!"

The daughter's defense was interrupted, and Mrs. Steve's eyes were filled with sadness.

Reality will never change anything because of the sadness and pain of some people.

In any aspect, it is useless to buy a mineral company in Sevit Taros, so why did he have to add 1,000 gold pounds to force it?

Could it be that they are pitiful?

This is undoubtedly a situation that only exists in fantasy.

Recently, due to the accidental death of her husband, the Steve family has experienced too many hardships. The original intention to keep the name of the Steve family has now been rife with reality. Mrs. Steve cannot help but think about some bad aspects.

If they want to maintain their noble status and not become civilians who are bullied, they must find a backer. If they accept some things, they will not be so unbearable if they think about them carefully. After all, there are not many choices in front of them now.

It's like a person has never been used to bread, but now he has to eat it. In that case, at least he has to choose a more acceptable one between dry and hard rye bread and soft butter bread?

In Mrs. Steve's eyes, there is almost no need to consider which question to choose between Viscount Taros and Viscount Philip. The latter had bullied them in frivolous words at the cocktail party last night. He was a playboy with a corrupt character. Although the former's character was average, at least he was the mayor of a city and the descendant of a duke.

"I...I understand."

Clenching the frills of the skirt, Scarlett bit his lips, and his face turned a little pale and returned to the room.

The sobs came from the house.

**

At this moment, the man who was imagined by the mother and daughter as having ill-behaved ill are not at their side at all.

In the Taros family's villa, Donald was wiping the long sword he brought back from the auction with silk in his study, and Lilo and Julia were sitting on the chair next to him.

After the wipe was completed, Donald stood up and stood in the open space in the room, suddenly stepped forward with his right foot, holding the long sword and making a stinging action.

The posture is very handsome, and with his special physical condition, his voice is quite loud. You can hear some buzzing sounds when the sword blade breaks through the air.

"Brother Servet, are you going to ask us for anything?"

Julia asked in confusion as she looked at Donald's actions.

"Do you think I have the potential to be a swordsman?"

As a man, Donald occasionally yearns for close-killing battles.

“…”

Julia was silent and Donald looked at her strange eyes soon became a little embarrassed.

"Cecelia, please remember this moment of the day, because of your silence, a genius swordsman with great potential was strangled in the cradle."

"Hehe, I will remember, but because I saved a genius wizard... in a good mood?"

After getting along for a long time, Julia also knew that Donald would often joke with people when he was in a very good mood.

"It's not bad. Yesterday's cocktail party successfully completed a recent goal. Today they will come to Renas to sign a contract with me. As for finding you two, it's for it."

Putting the sword on the table, Donald continued,

"This is one of the three things I bought at the auction. The auctioneer invited by the Count of Tulip is just an ordinary person. He is probably making a demonstration according to the content written in the manual. I always feel that its ability is not limited to the body strengthening of the sword holder by swallowing blood. However, I am not an appraisal master or a weapon forging craftsman, and it is difficult to judge its special abilities from the forging craftsman or the patterns on the sword, so I want to ask you to help me."

Donald had seen the ability to strengthen bloodthirsty at previous auctions, and what he wanted to try now is naturally other abilities.

"This long sword is constantly overflowing with negative energy, and it seems that there are some attachments to the vengeful spirits... You are more proficient in these two aspects than me. Can you see something?"

A part of the light element was drawn from the sunlight near the window of the study, condensed them on two fingers, and then wiped the sword body.

Scream~

Like the sound of burning red iron blocks immersed in cold water, Donald looked at the wisp of white smoke, his eyes turned to the two girls, shrugging, which was to verify what he had just said.

Liluo held the sword in her hand, and extremely strong negative energy surged out of her hand. Then Donald discovered that the gems in the beast bone where the hilt and the sword body were connected to the sword body began to release blue fluorescence, just like when he opened the wooden box at the auction before, it was even brighter.

As the gems shine, a cold air immediately wrapped around the sword, and soon a layer of thin ice spread over the desk next to it.

"Absorbing negative energy can activate the ice-attribute airflow...the key is this gem?"

It is obvious that this gem inside the hollow beast bone is a bit like the energy supply station of this long sword. Donald clearly remembers that it also changed when he performed a blood-sucking demonstration.

"What did you say?"

At this time, Julia suddenly asked, Donald turned his head in confusion, and she waved her hand and said,

"I'm talking to Xiao Hei. He said that there seemed to be a lot of resentful spirits hanging in this sword."

"Julia, I remember that your spiritual food talent should be specially used to deal with spiritual bodies, maybe you can test it."

Another discovery was that Donald's tone was twice higher. He now felt that buying this sword at a high price was an extremely correct decision.

"Yeah, I'll give it a try."

Julia nodded, condensed a ball of energy and placed it near the sword. Before she could take back her hand, an invisible force had already pulled the ball of energy into the sword body.

This time, no more visions appeared. After the energy ball was swallowed, the sword returned to calm again.

"The resentful spirit does exist, what is its function... tsk, there is no need to make it so clear. The two abilities above alone are enough to prove the value of this sword, blood, negative energy, and the acquisition of these two things will inevitably lead to killing... My luck is really good."

After inserting the sword back into the scabbard, Donald became more satisfied with the sword and whispered these words that made the two girls next to him confused.

"Brother Sewit, do you really want to become a full-time swordsman?"

Julia, who heard Donald talking to herself, thought he was really going to change to a swordsman, pulled the former's clothes with some concern, and then said,

"Xiao Hei said that if this magic weapon is used for a long time, it will affect people's minds. Killing and the whispers of vengeful spirits will gradually cause people with weak willpower to fall into madness. I know that Brother Sewit, you have a strong will, but you don't need this weapon at all."

"What I want is this effect. The crazier the better... Don't worry, even if I want to become a swordsman, I can't use this weapon. You guys go and play first. I have something to do, so let's go first."

Hearing that this weapon was crazy, Donald not only did not feel sorry, but instead valued it more. He rubbed Julia's head, stood up and walked away from the study with a long sword. He couldn't wait to start his plan.

Huxley was busy with affairs in the villa in the hall. In the eyes of most people, he had always been the diligent old housekeeper. When he saw Donald standing by the corridor on the second floor, he stopped his work.

The conversation between the two took place in the garden.

As soon as Donald came up, he threw the wooden box with a long sword to Huxley, and he sat on the swing under the big oak tree and swayed back and forth.

"You are..."

Huxley subconsciously took the wooden box and couldn't figure out what Donald meant for a while.

"I ask you if there is a mysterious area near Renas that is particularly rich in folklore, whether true or false."

“Outside the city?”

"Yes, it must be outside Renas, but not too far."

"It seems that there is no similar existence in my impression, so I will ask someone to ask."

Although I don't quite understand Donald's meaning, Huxley's reaction is still quite fast as a servant.

"No need, you haven't heard of it. Even if you ask, it may not meet my requirements. You still have to find a way... I want to give you a very important task."

With his feet pressed against the grass to stop the swing, Donald looked at the flowerbed not far away and said without looking back.

"Please say it."

Huxley's posture changed from bowing to half kneeling on the ground.

"In the past two days, I want you to send this sword to the blacksmith shop in Renas and make some exterior decorations for it, so that no one can recognize it as the sword I got at the auction. This matter is confidential, you have to watch it yourself, and at the same time spend money to send people to various areas of Dongde County to spread the news."

Donald glanced at the box, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly said with a smile,
Chapter completed!
