Chapter 73 Conflict

Ceremony has always been a waste of time, money and energy, but has no substantial meaning. But throughout history, those who are in the top like to do such boring tricks the most. As the protagonist today, Jady had to cooperate with everyone in boring activities.

Cut the ribbon, speak, read the congratulatory letter from Grand Duke Norman, and the guests sent enthusiastic blessings and gifts. They hung a brand new plaque "The First Financing Bank of the Principality" with General Von Hell. The atmosphere was reaching its climax. When the cocktail party was about to be held, a servant rushed into the hall and said loudly: "Mr. Jady, Mr. Gibson has sent a congratulatory gift!"

"Gibson?" Not only did General Von Hell and Jady be stunned, but the guests in the hall were immediately silent.

The grudge between General Von Hull and Minister of Finance Mel Gibson is well known. Von Hull undermined Mel Gibson and became the first powerful minister under the Duke of Norman. With the support of Von Hull, Jady defeated President Gibson and replaced him as the first president of the Principality's No. 1 financing bank.

At this time, will President Gibson, who is already out of date, give him a gift?

After a little quiet in the hall, people immediately started to whisper. General Von Hell suddenly laughed and said loudly: "Okay! Since Mr. Gibson has a gift, then present it to open your eyes. Otherwise, all the curious nobles would not have the heart to drink as much as they want."

The servants looked at Jady, who nodded and said calmly: "Please bring Mr. Gibson's men and his gift!"

The visitor was the old housekeeper Jady had met. He was wearing a neat dress and spotlessly clean, just like the host of the banquet. Behind him were four burly men, carrying a red sandalwood bracket, and some unknown thing was covered with red silk, and carried to the hall.

General Von Hull stroked his beard and watched coldly. He didn't believe that the nephew who was abandoned by Mel Gibson dared to do anything at this time. Now he is just a matter of the same in the Principality. Even Mel Gibson, who is very treacherous and supported by the entire noble family, dared not snatch his attack lightly, let alone President Gibson who was out of favor.

The old housekeeper bowed to General Von Hell and Giddy, and said with a smile: "Hello, Dear General Von Hell, President Jade and all the wise men. Today is the day when President Jadedy was awarded the President of the Principality's First Financing Bank. As the former president of the Banking Association and a part of the Goldsmiths' banking industry, Mr. Gibson was very happy. But he was unwell and could not come to congratulate himself. Therefore, I came to congratulate him on behalf of the Mr. and gave him his gift."

"Please thank Mr. Gibson for his kindness on my behalf!" Jady replied politely. He looked curiously at the thing covered by the red cloth. It looked quite small. What would it be?

The old butler turned around with a smile, waved his hand gently, and the four big men put the shelf on the ground, and slowly pulled the red cloth covering it. Suddenly and exclaimed in the hall, "So beautiful!", "So majestic!" Someone praised him, General Feng Heer's expression suddenly ran away, and he nodded slowly with a smile.

But only Jady, his eyes turned black and his face suddenly turned white...

"Jeddy, are you okay?" Helen asked worriedly. Jaeddy sat in the chair, staring in front of her, and never spoke.

With great perseverance, he persisted until the whole dinner ended, and sent General Von Hell and the guests away, and as soon as he returned to the room, he became like this.

Princess Lea said timidly: "Brother Jady, don't scare me, are you okay to say something?"

Jady looked straight at the gifts given by President Gibson, and suddenly a string of strange laughter came out, which made Lea take a few steps away. Jady slowly stood up, walked to the wooden frame, knelt down on one knee, gently stroked the golden hair.

A strong tiger was posing as a tiger descending the mountain on the wooden frame, staring fiercely and looking down, majestic and lifelike. It was the half-human beast Chris, who was made into a lifelike tiger specimen, fixed there forever.

He could no longer sit on a lounge chair, smoke a pipe to read the newspaper; he could no longer use the thick and melancholy baritone to tell Jady about the difficulties of his family; he had not even seen his son, the smart little tiger who had just been born.

Jady slowly got up and walked to the mantel, took off a white copper box from above, gently blew the dust on it, and then opened it. There were finely cut high-quality tobacco in it. It was a gift from the half-human beast Chris, which was kept there and was a little tide.

"I want to... smoke..." Jady said in a hoarse voice.

Barto, who had been holding his breath and dared not speak, hurriedly handed a large cigar. Jady shook his head and said, "I want a pipe."

The well-behaved little fox girl hurriedly slipped out. She was familiar with the people on the Jedi Goldsmith's shop. She knew who smoked the pipe. Helen sighed softly and advised softly: "Jeddy, we know you are very sad. We feel uncomfortable when Chris encountered such misfortune, but... you must be strong and not be beaten down because of this."

A cold light flashed in Jady's eyes, and she said lightly: "I was not knocked down! The more cruel the attack is, the less I will fall, and never!"

The pipe was lit, and Jady took a deep breath. The spicy tobacco smell was deeply sucked into the lungs with a faint vanilla smell, and then vomited out faintly. Jady's eyes were wet.

The fire of the pipe flashed, and Jady's eyes seemed to turn into a deep red. The smoke lingered the Chrisweiler's domineering figure beside him, like a sad song of regret.

The smoke slowly dissipated in the room, and this atmosphere also infected everyone. Barto couldn't stand this depressing atmosphere, and quietly took out a cigar and sucked it.

The old man Bigby, who reported the message, looked at the people in the room in panic and swallowed nervously.

"What did Chris say?" Jady asked quietly, sucking his head and not smoking. He didn't know how to smoke, and sometimes coughed lightly.

"Sir God, as usual, I drove a donkey cart to Mr. Gibson's house to collect garbage. Usually, at this time, Chris would send me the news he received as agreed. The animals in Mr. Gibson's house are free-range, and doing so will never cause doubt.

But he did not show up today. I couldn't walk around at the Gibson's house. Seeing that he hadn't come and was about to leave, I suddenly saw several people carrying an iron cage. The one inside was Chris. I was surprised and deliberately rubbed for a while. The few people put him down and walked away.

Chris told me that he had exposed his identity. President Gibson was very angry and blamed him for his loss of power, so he wanted to kill him. He also said that since he liked to play a beast, he would let him play until he died. He didn't know how President Gibson would deal with him..."

Bigby stopped and continued, "Chris asked me to tell you that he obeyed his promise. He had not said a word in front of Gibson, even after being caught."

"Then why did he...how did he reveal his identity?"

"He heard that he had a son too excited and said in his sleep. He said it was his fault and hoped that he would not cause any trouble for you..."

Jady listened quietly and said slowly: "Don't tell Chris's family about this..., ha, I forgot that she is a real tiger. Unless she lifts Chris' body away, she may not understand what we say."

He smiled bitterly, then grew up and held it. The pipe was crushed and broken and fell from his fingers.

Helen couldn't help but be shocked. She was a warrior and naturally knew how much power it would take to break such a hard oak pipe. If you want to hold it in your palm, the power needed would probably be impossible to expand ten times. It's like a half-aged child can break a spear, but a person who has been practicing martial arts for a lifetime cannot easily break a half-inch-long gun bar. When did Jady's power become so terrible?

"President Gibson must pay the price! He can kill a spy, but he cannot insult Chris like this and turn it into a specimen to torture his soul! The guests praised the tiger for its majesty and lifelike every word, like a sharp claw twitching my heart, I must punish him!"

"Of course, he will definitely pay the price, we promise!" Du Wei hurriedly said: "When our plan is successful..."

"No! He has to pay the price now!" Jady's voice was decisive, and Du Wei's voice suddenly suffocated.

Helen frowned slightly: "Jeddy, although he has stepped down now, his strength has not been weakened yet. We cannot do whatever we want. Besides, you just controlled the financial power of the Principality, and there are too many facts that require you to do. A small impatience will cause chaos.

Jady, you have to pay the price to do anything. Those who can stick to laugh to the end are the real winners. We are likely to find an excuse for the nobles who are temporarily at a disadvantage."

"Enough! He is not your soldier, but my friend!" Jady yelled, and Helen couldn't help but shocked. Jady had never spoken to her with such a bad attitude. Now, with so many people scolding him, Princess Helen's eyes quickly covered with mist. She bit her lip and stopped talking.

Seeing that he was so disobedient, Lea said strangely: "Brother Jady, I know you are very hurt by Chris's death. But we have put in so much effort, including Chris's sacrifice, just to ensure that our plan can be implemented? How can we act voluntarily now? Chris... is just a talking tiger. Why are you so angry?"

"What?" The expression on Jady's face froze. He stared at Lea in a daze. The strange look made Lea very scared. After a long time, Jady's eyes moved away from Lea's face and slowly glanced at everyone in the room.

There was a deep pain and sorrow in his eyes that everyone who looked at him could not help but turn his head. Finally, Jady's eyes stopped on Barto and Duwei, his two best friends, a human magician and a warrior.

"Tell me, my friends, do you think I shouldn't avenge Chris?"

Du Wei carefully said in a businessman's tone: "Well... Dear Jady, things are priorities. Gibson will not die for a while. It is easy for us to settle the score with him, but our plan is imminent. Although you are gradually coming to the forefront, my name, Baron Alex, is still getting more and more famous..."

Speaking of this, he wanted to mention the female ghost, but now Jady was in anger. If this topic was disconnected and wanted to lead to a lot of topics, he held back and continued: "Although the empire is now in turmoil and the news from the empire is very slow, the news that the Obestan family suddenly sent a baron to develop in the southernmost part of the empire must have been passed.

Think about it, once the Obestan family is concerned, our plan may fail. We are not only intrigue with our enemies, but also fighting with time. We must fight for time and compete with invisible enemies who can expose our true face at any time. From this point of view, I don’t think there is a rush to take revenge….”

Barto couldn't bear it anymore when he heard his long-winded words. He sat on the sofa and said in a muffled voice: "Duwei, we and Jaddy are not only friends, but also brothers, close brothers, and there is no need to stumble around the bush. Let me say frankly, Jaddy, I don't agree with revenge on Gibson now, whether it's light or dark."

"I know you sent him, so you feel guilty. Actually, there is no need. Lea is not wrong. It is just a talking tiger. She is sad and crying for her pet. That is what a boring lady does. Is it worth fighting for a human and beast who is inferior to an orc?"

When he said this, he suddenly saw the little fox girl Lolita's face was pale and felt apologized in his heart, but he had already said it, and the harm was irreversible. He twisted the cigar hard and put it out in the ashtray.

They did not expect that these words would cause greater harm to Jady. The sacrifices made by a human beast that was less valuable than orcs did not need to be taken seriously. So what about a wild beast that lacks civilization than a human beast?

Jady's heart felt uncomfortable like a thousand arrows shot. He looked pale and stood there for a while before muttering: "I understand, it is just a beast we use. Even if he can speak human language and defend his oath with his life like a human with noble character, he is humble after all, no matter how hard he tries...!

Helen saw that he was very excited, but she really couldn't think of why a person had such emotions towards a beast. If... if it was Lolita, that would be fine!"

She glanced at the little fox girl and thought to herself: "At least, except for the big tail and pointed ears, she is no different from an ordinary human girl, and Chris... am I wrong? Do we need to treat a tiger like we value human partners? Why is Jady so sad?"

She said a little compromise: "Jeddy, listen to me, it's not that we are unwilling to avenge Chris, but that we don't have enough power now, which may harm us..."

"I know what damages our plan!" Jady suddenly turned around and said in a deep voice.

"But I have my principles, even if it's wrong!"
