Last Totem Novel - Chapter 268
Chapter 268 Grand Duke
Just as Tie Zha and Eva Green were shopping at the New Edmonton Mall, Yoga Lombar was standing in front of a glass curtain wall at Twilight Manor by the Cold Lake of the Central Silver City Military Academy, communicating with a handsome, gentle-looking silver-haired middle-aged man via tele-video.
“Dad ~ I invited an important guest tonight.” You Ge puts his hands behind his back and leans forward, putting on a mysterious look.
“Oh ~ God ~ Which guest was so lucky to get my precious daughter’s invitation?” The silver-haired middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then let out a gentle smile and sighed. The kindly middle-aged man was the current ruler of the Golden Triangle, the Grand Duke of Gold-Yogavin Lombar.
“His name is Tie Zhao. He’s the one who sent me home three years ago.” You Ge says with a smile on his face.
“Oh ~ Oh ~ Oh ~ Is that the young hero with a straight machete on his back, an old-fashioned hunting rifle, and a red motorcycle?” You Jiawen looked very excited. Not only did he say that, he also made the movements of holding a knife with both hands, squinting his eyes, pulling the trigger with one hand, and driving the motorcycle.
“Mm ~ Mm ~ Mm ~ It’s him.” You Ge nods and says excitedly.
“Aiya …” After finishing her action, You Jiawen patted her head and sighed, “My precious daughter is finally willing to have dinner with a boy. She doesn’t need to be an old maid anymore …”
“Dad” You Ge pouts and says, “If you keep saying this, I’ll hang up the communication.”
“Good, good, good. Father is wrong. Father is wrong.” The Golden Grand Duke laughed and hurriedly said.
You Ge wrinkles her nose and snorts softly. She turns around and pretends to ignore You Jiawen in the glass curtain wall.
“Baby, Dad has something to remind you.” You Jiawen changed the topic. In a serious tone, He said slowly, “You are the strongest Origin Energy practitioner in the history of the Temple, Your perception can travel through time and space, Touching the distant future, To be able to find the right direction in the countless strands of invisible and colorless threads of fate, And our vision is not as far-sighted as yours, Wisdom cannot reach your heights, So we won’t interfere with your choice, As long as you want to do something, Our Lombardi race will support you with all their might, But … “He paused for a moment and looked at his third daughter, whose expression was gradually becoming serious.” But as your father, I must remind you that he is a man from the ground. His habits, values, and circles of life are different from yours. Whether you are interested in him for a while or love him forever is not clear to you right now … ”
“Blazing love can always blindfold people’s eyes and make them lose their rationality. However, this is the charm of love. In this world, only love can ignore one’s status and cross life, age, illness, and death …”
“As your father, I only have one request. I hope that you can have a closer relationship with him after making clear your pursuits. This is a good thing for you and him.”
“I’m not asking to discriminate against this young man, or to think that you’re unworthy because of his humble origins. Thousands of years ago, our Lombardi race was also at the bottom of society, and poverty and hunger were always with our ancestors.
“On the contrary, I like him very much. From your narrative, I know that he is a strong, kind, brave and self-disciplined young man who possesses the virtues that we admire and recognize in Lombardi.”
“If I have the chance, I would like to sit down with him and have a drink and chat as a friend …”
“Ah …”
Just at this moment, Yoga Lombar yawned lazily. Yoga smiled embarrassedly like a deflated ball. Then, with a flattering smile, he asked, “Darling, is Daddy right?”
You Ge then tilts his head and glances at You Jiawen, then forcefully turns his head away and makes a “hmph” sound.
Seeing this, the smile on Youjiawen’s face gradually disappeared, revealing a warm smile. He knew that his little daughter’s appearance meant “reluctantly agreeing”. Then he waved his hand and said, “Alright, alright, alright. Dad, stop talking. Remember to say hello to him for me tonight. Tell him that I thank him for bringing my precious daughter back to me three years ago. I give him the highest thanks of the Lombardi family, alright?”
“Yes.” You Ge nods and says, “Dad, I still have to prepare tonight’s dress. I’ll talk to you another day.”
“Alright” You Jiawen sighed and said, “With a boyfriend, you don’t need a father.”
“Dad …” “Haha … I’m not joking anymore. You should hurry up and get busy. My little princess must dress beautifully tonight.” “Yes.”
After hanging up, Eugene Lombar touched his forehead and called his eldest son, Eugene Lombar.
“Son, your youngest sister is going to have dinner with her boyfriend tonight.” You Jiawen said straightforwardly.
After a moment of silence, Eugene said disappointedly, “Father, I’m sorry … as a big brother, I’m ashamed of not being able to stop this …”
“There’s no need to blame yourself, and this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Who can clearly see the Gear of Fate?” You Jiawen comforted.
“But … he’s just … he’s just a garbage collector …”
“Son!” You Jiawen frowned. He said in a deep voice, ‘”I have always taught you that a person’s character is more important than his background. Although a person of low birth rarely possesses outstanding character, you must understand that he can still maintain a trace of goodwill in the heart of the Northern Wilderness, where his living environment is extremely evil. It is not easy for him to retain his original heart. In this regard, we should give him corresponding respect.”
“I… I understand.” Eugene lowered his head and said.
“However, I’m still a little worried” You Jiawen hesitated.
“What are you worried about?” Eugene asked.
“I don’t care what his background is, whether he’s a garbage collector or a pretty boy. I don’t care anymore. As long as he’s a normal man, it’s fine. It’s just …” You Jiawen took a deep breath and said, “I’m afraid he’s an insecticide.”
“Ah … that’s impossible. He’s in Central Silver City. If he was an insecticide, he would have been detected long ago.” Eugene said.
“No” You Jiawen raised his hand and said, “There is another situation where he has a legendary bug transformation ability, or the stability of the gene chain is above the diamond array, so the ordinary scanner at the Central Silver City Inspectorate will not be able to detect him.”
Eugene crossed his chest, lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said, “Eugene, although the probability is very low, it is indeed possible. However, this can only be found through a blood test.”
“Actually, I don’t hate insecticides. Although I still vote for the Temple in the World Council, that’s a political need. But your sister’s joining the Temple now means that she has drawn a line between herself and the insecticide camp. I’m not worried about anything else, but that he’s an insecticide.”
‘”I will find a way to verify it, but …” Eugene thought for a while and gritted his teeth resolutely. Then, he sighed deeply and said, “Last time I sent someone to assassinate Tie Zha, my sister was already wary of me …”
“You!” In an instant, Youjiawen’s expression changed drastically. His entire body surged with a mighty aura, and his hair and beard stood upright. Then he pointed outside the screen and scolded, “Eugene Lombar, are you out of your mind?”
Eugene lowered his head deeply and said, “Yes … I’m sorry …”
“What did you learn in the expeditionary army! Are we Lombardi ungrateful? Have you forgotten all the teachings of our ancestors?” You Jiawen scolded excitedly, his words a little incoherent. “If they send your sister home, you send someone else a bullet. What do you think?”
Eugene lowered his head and said, “Father, I’m sorry. Please don’t be angry. Your body is so angry …”
‘”I see you …” “You’re all from the Mordleton Clan. We Lombardi have never done anything like them for the sake of profit …” As he scolded, he suddenly remembered something else and scolded, “Last month, that old Mordleton came to me and said that he wanted to add Mordleton’s surname to your sister’s name. Bullshit! I don’t agree!”
“This … grandfather …”
“I know, he wants to threaten Atlantic City. He still has the nerve to do so. It wasn’t that old thing that forced your mother to participate in the planar war back then …” At this point, YouJiaWen suddenly choked with sobs. He waved his hand and hung up the communication.
Eugene Lombar stared blankly at the pitch black screen. After a while, he shook his head and left the communication room …
While the Lombardi father and son were communicating, Eva Green was walking back and forth in a clothing store at the New Edmonton Mall in Upper Central Silver City, fiddling with rows of men’s attire and choosing a dress that suited Tie Zha.
And Tie Zha followed behind her, looking a little bored. After all, he did not know anything about brands, nor did he have much taste. Most importantly, he felt that these clothes were almost the same, and he couldn’t tell the difference at all. Eva, who was walking in front of him, would occasionally turn her head around and gesture at him twice with a piece of clothing, then put it back, seemingly unsatisfied.
Inadvertently, he saw the price tag in an open grey casual dress and picked it up to take a casual look. He didn’t know what was going on, but he was shocked. “Six thousand three hundred and fifty gold,” was written on it.
‘”Two Tiger-type mecha …” Tie Zha muttered to himself in a low voice.
“What?” Eva turned around and asked, apparently not listening clearly.
“I want to go to the bathroom.” Said Tie Zha.
“Alright.” With that, Eva beckoned the female staff to take Tie Zha to the bathroom.
Two beautiful girls in their early twenties walked forward and nodded to Tie Zha. Then, they took him out of the clothing store.
Not long after, under the lead of the two girls, the iron slag arrived at the door of the men’s bathroom. After walking into the bathroom, Tie Zha took advantage of the fact that the two girls were waiting outside the door and jumped out of the window. The building is not tall and has only two floors in total. This was the second floor. Although it was more than ten meters tall, it was as flat as the ground for a traditional evolver like Iron Slag.
After descending to the ground, Tie Zha turned around and walked in through the main entrance of the shopping mall on the first floor. He didn’t really want to undo it, but wanted to see what was on the first floor for sale. When he was in the clothing store just now, he had heard Nicholas, the general manager, say that the goods sold on the first floor were mainly for the consumption market of nobles and merchants, and the overall prices were much lower than those on the second floor.
Thinking of Mu Yuqinxin’s “little black face” last night, he became more and more determined to buy his own dress.
