MTL - The Barrage Said, I Am the Final Villain In the Game-Chapter 244 Send them the money before the sun goes down
Chapter 244 Before the sun sets, send them the money
In the top luxury suite of the Catalina Hotel, there are two women who are having a cordial conversation. Judging from their slightly similar appearance and the fully distinguishable youthfulness and maturity, it is obvious that they are sisters .
"Sister, you're beautiful."
As the younger sister, the girl lay on the sofa, looked up at her sister with admiration, and muttered, "It is said that women are the most beautiful at the moment of marriage, and it is true."
My sister felt a little funny at what my sister said.
She stood up from the dressing table, came to the sofa, bent down, and reached out to grab her sister's ear.
"Marlena, won't you be pretty if I get married?"
"No, no." The girl called Marlena hurriedly hid her head in the pillow, and said vaguely, "How is it possible, I am so beautiful, how can you be so ugly, sister?"
"?" Elder sister Marika was stunned by these words that could almost be classified as rebellious.
To be honest, as a younger sister, Marlena is indeed superior in appearance than her older sister Malika, but why does it feel weird to say this from her mouth?
It took a long time to sort out the logic, she sighed, and couldn't help but support her forehead and said: "Marlena, if you are naughty, I will kick you out."
"It's okay." Malena said without fear, "Donaldson will open the door for me."
This made Malika anxious.
She pushed back the girl's pillow, and really grabbed her ear, and ignored the girl's resistance, and said seriously.
"You stinky girl, how many times have you told him to call him brother-in-law, you are too rude."
"Okay, okay, I know, I know!"
Under the girl's constant begging for mercy, Marika finally let go of her hand.
The moment she let go of her hand, the girl suddenly turned into a water snake and slid along the back of the sofa from one end to the other. Immediately, she performed a backflip with her palms on the ground, and then landed safely.
"Tch." Clapping her hands, she hugged her arms and said with a giggle, "Sister, it's been so many years, but you still can't catch me."
"Hehe." Malika rolled her eyes.
It's thanks to my soft heart, otherwise this stinky girl's growth process would inevitably suffer.
"alright."
Maybe because she felt that the play was enough, she went back to her sister again, hugged her arm, and muttered: "I will listen to you, don't you just call him brother-in-law, no problem, no problem, although I don't like it. He, but this is my sister's order, I must obey, so don't be angry."
"Oh." Glancing at her sister's flattering smile, Malika sighed helplessly, rubbed the girl's head, and said, "I'm not angry, you are my own sister, your age is the time we spend together, I How could I be angry with you?"
Marlena shook her sister's arm happily, giggling: "I knew it, my sister is the best!"
"." Malika shook her head with a smile, and suddenly the girl's words echoed in her mind, so she asked suspiciously, "By the way, you just said that you don't like Donaldson, right?"
"Isn't it obvious?" Marlena rolled her eyes in the same way as her sister, "You can't see that I treated him like that before."
"I can see it, but why?" Malika was very puzzled, "Although Donaldson is not born well, he is still very good personally. He looks good, follows knight etiquette, treats people politely, and is young. He has already become the captain of the knights in the knight order, and he still has some victories against the North, so the future must be bright, and from any point of view, there is no stain on him that you will not hate, right?"
"Well, I just don't like it, not to the point of hating it." Malena muttered, "Besides, I don't like him because that guy is a 'real knight' and can perform all kinds of tasks perfectly. Knight etiquette. I hate this kind of stuff."
“.”
Now Malika finally understood.
It turns out that my sister thinks that her fiancé is too "regular".
This is why, Malika can understand the reason.
My younger sister is naturally reckless and doesn't like all kinds of rules and regulations, but my father doesn't allow her to be unrestrained, so he forced her to abide by some rules, trying to smooth her character.
It's a pity, however, that Marlena's staunchness seems a bit too tough, and she raised the flag of rebellion against her father when she was very young.
As the father of a big businessman, perhaps because he was too smooth outside, he was always extraordinarily tough at home, trying to regain the majesty he lost outside the family. Facing his sister's resistance, he naturally would not allow it.
When the two collide, the one who suffers is naturally the weak Marlena, and at this time, Marika will come out to rescue her.
Sometimes they can succeed in getting out of the siege, but sometimes they may suffer together.
As time passed, Malena naturally began to hate all kinds of rules and regulations.
Fortunately, since the father's voice became louder and louder, the businessman's temper has become more and more introverted, and the education of the children no longer blindly requires them to follow their own regulations, making the family environment more and more peaceful. Even Marlena's character gradually became less prickly.
—Although it is still not soft at all.
Marika is not ready to solve this problem.
She knows her sister listens to her most of the time, but when it comes to things she likes or hates, this little guy never gives an inch.
Since it can’t be solved, let’s stop talking.
"Speaking of which, where is father?" Malika changed the subject without leaving a trace, "I haven't seen him for a long time."
"Have you forgotten? Didn't he say that he wants to find you the most precious gift and give it to you at the wedding?" Malena spread her hands, "I'm probably still looking for it outside."
"You are his favorite daughter. If you don't find a gemstone bigger than the sun, I guess he won't give up."
"." Malika shook her head helplessly, "I really don't need any gifts. A neat and safe family is better than anything else to me."
“.I think your prayer may be more difficult to achieve than finding a gem the size of the sun.”
"You are looking for a fight!"
"Oops—"
Marlena saw her sister's aggressive appearance, and immediately retracted into the sofa with her head in her arms.
When she caught a glimpse from the corner of her eye that her sister seemed to be really angry this time, she quickly changed the subject: "Speaking of gems, I heard a piece of news this afternoon—someone wanted a gemstone that existed in legends, randomly Choose to give to the newlyweds."
"The legendary gem?" Marika was slightly taken aback, "What legendary gem?"
"It's the jewel on the 'Crown of the Fallen', their token of love in "Heroes Sapp and the Valkyries." Malena let go of her hand holding her head, moved closer to her sister, and said treacherously, " It is said to be genuine."
"Real product?" Malika shook her head, "This kind of thing related to the legend, just listen to it. Look at how many times Mante was cheated when he went to buy antiques. Every time it was related to a certain legend, Every time it's a fake."
"No, no, no." Malena shook her finger, making a mysterious look, "This time, it's probably true."
"Because, the name of the person who will send this gem is 'Charlotte Ferdinand'."
"Charlotte Ferdinand" Malika's eyes widened, "The little princess?"
Marlena nodded her head like a chick pecking rice: "Yes! That's the princess."
"It's okay for people outside to deceive that idiot Mante, but there should not be many who dare to deceive the princess, right?"
"So, there is a high probability that this gem is true. It just so happens that sister, you are getting married tomorrow." Malena blinked, "Sister, tell me, will this gem appear in your hand tomorrow?" superior."
"How is it possible." Malika shook her head, "Didn't it mean that the little princess loves the people very much? If she wants to give it away, it should be given to the people. We"
"Us?" Marlena interrupted her, "In their eyes, aren't we 'ordinary people'?"
“.”
Marika was silent.
Hey, don't tell me, it's true!
Although the status of their family is higher than that of ordinary people due to the accumulation of money, in the eyes of the royal family, they are really not much different from ordinary people!
Sighing again, Malika looked at her younger sister and couldn't help "praising" and said: "You can really talk."
"whee."
Marlena accepted it brazenly, and did not give up her expectations because of Malika's words.
Although she knew it was impossible, she still hoped that her sister could have a pure and perfect marriage.
It's just that Marlena doesn't know that the "symbol of purity" she hopes for, someone is trying to force it to come to her sister in a less pure way.
"A gemstone that symbolizes purity?"
In the room, the great businessman Sotos Talinkos stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the blue sky, squinting slightly.
"This 'symbol' doesn't seem to be that 'pure', does it?"
"indeed."
The man standing behind the merchant replied respectfully: "I have never heard of such a gem being preserved anywhere before. Although it was verified by the church in the imperial capital, the imperial capital is too far away from Catalina. Even if someone wanted to ask for proof, it would be too difficult.”
"No, no, no." The businessman smiled and said, "When I say impure, I don't mean it's true or not. What a coincidence, what a coincidence."
"Tell me, why did this gem jump out as soon as my daughter got married? Moreover, she still named it by name and said it would be given to us."
Compared with the rumors Marlena heard, the businessman's news is obviously more detailed.
From what Marlena heard, the gemstone was given to a random couple, but from what the businessman knew, it was almost something that had already been assigned to her.
Turning around, the businessman looked at his butler and asked, "Mu Le, why do you think this happened so coincidentally?"
The housekeeper was silent for a while, then shook his head: "I don't know."
Responding to this answer, the businessman actually nodded in approval: "You're right, I don't know either."
"We have nothing to do with the royal family for eight lifetimes. If they feel that we are too arrogant, they can find some excuses such as "fire hazard" to warn us. Of course, this does not seem to be a warning. On the contrary More like flattery?"
When this sentence came out, the businessman himself couldn't help laughing at himself: "Are you kidding? A kingdom with such a large territory needs to please a businessman? Just because he is rich? No matter how rich he is, how can he compare?" Have you ever been rich in a country?"
"." The butler didn't dare to answer, so he could only hang his head lower.
The businessman didn't expect the butler to reply either.
He turned around to look at the sky again, tangled for a while, but couldn't figure out why.
If it is said that the princess did it unintentionally, if she really just wanted to give it to someone, the businessman would not believe it.
Because it took only half an afternoon from the rumors to the outbreak, to the whole city, and he said that no one was behind the scenes, but he didn't believe it.
But if someone is operating, then what is his purpose?
The businessman felt that the people behind the scenes wanted to get rich, because he even moved out the princess as bait. If there was no certain return, how could he pay such a high price?
Moreover, what can you gain by aiming at him?
I have nothing but money and some relationship networks that rely on money.
"Why? I can't figure it out."
The businessman sighed, and murmured: "We are still standing too low, and the limitation of our vision prevents us from seeing the situation further away. If we can be higher, we don't have to be so passive."
Turning around again, the businessman looked at the butler: "Mu Le, tell me, should we take this gem?"
The butler pondered for a moment and said, "Go."
The businessman nodded slightly: "That's right, we can't help it."
"After all, this is a 'gift from the princess'. If we don't accept it, it's a bit ignorant—but, I think it's definitely not acceptable to accept it directly."
“There are no free goods in the world. Those things that can be obtained without paying money are often marked with other prices on the back.”
"Although I don't know what is hidden behind this gem," the businessman narrowed his eyes slightly, "at least, I can convert the price behind it into a price that I can accept."
The butler bowed knowingly: "How many gold coins do I need to prepare?"
"Well?" The businessman twisted the beard on his chin and asked, "What day is it?"
"June 17th."
The merchant nodded slightly.
"That's the price."
"Send them the money before the sun goes down."
"What did you say?!"
The moonlight seeped in through the study window, making Duke Christine's face slightly pale.
He stared at the daughter in front of him, raised his hand slightly, and stretched out his trembling fingers.
"Say, you just said how much money you made?!"
Corinna calmly spit out a number.
"61.7 million, gold coins."
