He seemed to be talking to himself, but soon a strange sound was heard, which seemed to come from the hunting deer head hanging on the front of the reception room. If this scene happened in the dead of night, it would really give people a creepy feeling!

"There is a hidden secret, but it should have nothing to do with the matter you are worried about."

After hearing the response, Grand Duke Harris said word by word:

"The empire has been established for hundreds of years and has gone through so many generations of emperors, but the current one is the most ambitious but incompetent. In his eyes, the cautious behavior of us old guys may not be a sign of restraint... The last earl of the empire who died was 117 years ago! This time, not only the earl of the Ratnes family died, but almost all of them were wiped out! It's him today, and it may be my turn tomorrow."

The last sentence revealed what Grand Duke Harris was really worried about.

After a hundred years of development, the empire has become complicated and plagued by deep-rooted problems. All parties have their own demands and pressures. For any emperor who wants to make a difference, he will find that the biggest obstacle to his actions does not come from the outside world, but from within.

Therefore, what Grand Duke Harris is most worried about is the incident behind the Chateli Incident. If there is the shadow of the emperor of the empire who wants to take advantage of the situation, then this matter will definitely not be over, but on the contrary it will be a beginning.

Another voice followed immediately:

"Based on the current intelligence, the leader should be this organization."

Then the voice became weaker, obviously speaking in secret. After hearing it, Grand Duke Harris remained silent. After a while, he said:

"If it is them, then isn't that a bit too far-reaching?"

The strange voice said:

"Since it has already happened, we might as well think about the bright side. The incident involving Count Ratness can be used as an excuse to encourage others and establish your role as a leader. In addition, the political legacy left by the Ratness family is also very rich."

Grand Duke Harris nodded slowly:

"There is one more very important thing. Although the fallen steel fortress is now in ruins, it still contains a lot of secrets. I was a step too late. You have to find a way to dig these things out."

The voice said:

"It's difficult... because not only the fallen Iron Fortress has aroused people's concern, but also the fall of Richelieu and the destruction of the Minsk Cathedral have attracted attention from all sides. It can be expected that from now on, Chateli will be the center of the vortex for a long time to come."

"If that were all, it would be fine. According to the latest news, the holy relic of great significance to all clergymen, the Holy Silver Cross of Galanthis, has also mysteriously disappeared. This thing is incredible. I'm afraid it will attract those old monsters who are still alive. These guys are all beings that have touched the edge of the world's laws."

Grand Duke Harris was finally moved at this time and said:

"Like... Nielbas?"

The voice said:

"Yes, that pretender who was corrupted by the blood curse has been missing for thirty years. I believe he is not dead."

Grand Duke Harris was silent for a moment:

"Well, let's not get involved in this matter."

…

Du Yuqi had no idea what was happening on the continent of Arad.

After arriving at the dojo, Du Yuqi found that everything was normal and there didn't seem to be much difference. However, when the girl at the front desk saw him, she immediately said that the owner was looking for him. The owner of the dojo was named Liang, and he was an old man in his seventies. He could only be seen when the sun came out, and he was usually dozing off on the armchair.

Du Yuqi went to the owner's office and found that although Old Man Liang was there, he looked listless. There was also a fat white man with a smile on his face. This was his nephew Liang Zhen, the real person in charge of the gym. He was missing all day long. According to him, he was developing business outside. Du Yuqi had only seen him once before. The one who usually taught martial arts was Old Man Liang's second disciple and the Taekwondo coach invited from outside.

When Liang Zhen saw Du Yuqi, he immediately came over with a smile, patted his shoulder, and then started to pour rice soup into his mouth. After listening for a while, Du Yuqi finally understood that Liang Zhen had gotten an invitation a few days ago and was going to a cocktail party. This cocktail party was very high-end, with many rich second-generations there. Liang Zhen started to approach them to promote his business.

As a result, some people were actually interested in his promotion.

As we all know, rich people always have some quirks. As the saying goes, the poor are good at literature and the rich are good at martial arts. Among these second-generation rich people, there is one named Chu Zihang. His family is a shipping tycoon. He has liked gun battle movies and kung fu movies since he was a child, so he became obsessed with martial arts. His family thought it was not a big problem, and it was better than taking drugs and doing crazy things, so they went along with him.

It turned out that this young master Chu had good talent and was willing to spend money. After some investigation, he felt that Muay Thai was very much to his liking. It was quick to learn, fierce, and had strong lethality. Therefore, he worked hard on it. When Liang Zhen came over, he was good at observing people's expressions and finally persuaded young master Chu to take time out to come and play.

Liang Zhen knew that if he could make Young Master Chu happy, there would be many benefits. These second-generation rich people don't regard money as money. Secondly, Young Master Chu is also a celebrity in the circle. If he comes to play often, it will undoubtedly have an advertising effect.

At the same time, if he has a relationship with Young Master Chu, Liang Zhen also owns a fitness equipment company. Young Master Chu's family business is very large, and one of the employee benefits is a fitness center that is currently under construction. This is also a big order with lucrative benefits.

Then the question came, how can we make Mr. Chu happy? Of course, we have to play comfortably, and let him win but not easily. Finally, after thinking about it, I considered Du Yuqi.

In the martial arts hall, Du Yuqi's ability with the punching bag is recognized. Even the second brother who teaches martial arts admits that he is not as good as him. So Liang Zhen suddenly has an idea and plans to let Du Yuqi learn some martial arts before fighting with Master Chu.

Du Yuqi had just learned some martial arts, so of course he couldn't pose a threat to Young Master Chu, but his strong ability as a sandbag could keep him going for a long time, which just met the criteria of letting Young Master Chu win but not winning easily...

…

Du Yuqi watched Liang Zhen speak with great joy, and even began to give him some inspirational speeches, saying that after the martial arts school became more prosperous, they would open branches, and then imagine the future, and even spin off and list it, and do charity... Hearing this, Du Yuqi found it a little funny, and said very impolitely:

"Manager Liang, is that all? I'll leave first then?"

Liang Zhenzhen was so excited when he was talking that he was very excited. However, he did not expect Du Yuqi to interrupt him unexpectedly. He was very upset and was stunned for a moment before saying:

"You go first? Where are you going? The special training will start today. I'll let my second brother give you basic training right away! Time is money. Although you don't have to be very strong, you must at least be able to fight back a few times... Otherwise, how can Young Master Chu be happy?"

Du Yuqi sighed and said:

"What does it have to do with me whether Young Master Chu is happy or not?"

At this time Liang Zhen said unhappily:

"This is an opportunity, young man. I am giving you a chance now. Do you know that your life trajectory is always parallel to the upper class? Do you know that because of my appearance, your life has a chance to connect with them? It is rare to have such an opportunity to change your destiny in life. Why don't you seize it?"

Du Yuqi smiled and said:

"It is you who changes your destiny, not others."

Liang Zhen frowned and said earnestly:

"Young man, I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. I can understand your feelings at this moment. Do you think I have never read books? The Book of Changes says: A gentleman hides his ability and waits for the right time to act. Alexandre Dumas said that if someone is timid for a moment, he may let go of the bait that luck has extended to him at this moment... I have painstakingly created this opportunity for you, and I don't ask you for any reward. If you miss it, you will regret it for a hundred years."

After hearing Liang Zhen's words, Du Yuqi was stunned for a moment, and then said with some amusement:

"Wait, what did you just say? You didn't ask me for any compensation. In other words, you want me to be a punching bag for others, and you want me to pay for it?"

Liang Zhen said earnestly:

"That's an opportunity to enter the upper class! Classmate, it's an opportunity that others can't even ask for, a chance to get close to Mr. Chu, who has a family fortune of tens of billions... Wait, why are you leaving?"

Du Yuqi shrugged and said:

"I just think that our previous disagreement seems to be a bit too big, Boss Liang, as the saying goes, there is no point in talking, and I still have to go to evening self-study."

Liang Zhen said in a very innocent tone:

"But, didn't I ask you for a reward?"

Du Yuqi rolled her eyes and said:

"Boss Liang, if I were a woman who wanted to get ahead physically, then your so-called opportunity would be somewhat reliable, but the problem now is that I don't intend to FUCK Master Chu, nor do I want to be FUCKed by Master Chu. If you want me to get beaten by him, then you should be the one paying me to do this. If you can't realize this, then I'm leaving first."

Liang Zhen's face darkened:

"So how much do you want?"

Du Yuqi laughed and said:

"One hundred thousand."

The fat man Liang Zhen suddenly jumped up as if he was stabbed in the ass, the flesh on his cheeks trembled constantly, and he yelled:

"Why don't you go and grab it!!"
