Blackstone Code

Chapter 1114: Who is afraid of whom?

Because Lynch has been outside all this time, Anna did not spend the night in Lynch’s villa today and returned home.

The huge restaurant is like a medieval aristocratic castle, but the decoration inside is not very luxurious.

It's like a gathering place. There are a long table in the wide space. The long table is flanked by two benches. People from the Arkin family gather here to eat.

The Arkin family claims to be aristocrats, so they also have aristocratic traditions.

Everyone, anyway, as long as they are still at home, they must eat here.

Including Mr. Patou.

Mr. Patu sat on the middle table, in the seat of the master, and his brothers and sisters sat on either side of him, such as uncles and aunts, all sitting on other tables.

Those people are too old and have put down their power. They have left the power core of the Akin family, and naturally they don't have the qualifications to sit in the most eye-catching position.

At the same time, as the elders of Mr. Patu, they are unwilling to look at the face of a junior when they are eating. They have been tired for a lifetime and should rest.

Only those in power are qualified to sit at this table of Mr. Patu.

The other juniors are sitting on the table to the left of this table. There are the younger generations who have received much attention. They represent the next era of the family. As long as Mr. Patu resigns as the head of the family, these people will become the core of this dinner. .

The whole restaurant is like a big canteen, full of stereotyped and serious things.

As usual, after Mr. Patu picked up the knife and fork and enjoyed the main course tonight, people could only move the knife and fork. Before that, they could not do anything.

Cannot eat, drink, make no sound, can only sit.

It’s just that today’s process seems a bit wrong. Mr. Patu didn’t take up a knife and fork to enjoy today’s good roast chicken and praised the chef’s cooking skills. Instead, he pointed to the last vacant seats on this table and said, " Anna, sit here."

For an instant, Anna, who was sitting at the front of the table on the left, had a blank head. She just stood up subconsciously, bowed to the brothers and sisters at the same table, and then came to the table where Mr. Patu was sitting. Last seat.

Almost everyone is paying attention to the changes here, and Mr. Patu's actions indicate that Anna is one step closer to the "end"!

If it weren't for Mr. Patu, and the family's ancestral precepts had given people too "deep" impression, perhaps someone had started talking in a low voice at this time.

At this time, the restaurant is still so quiet, so quiet that you can only hear all kinds of sounds like when a bellows is pulled quickly, whistling.

Before Anna sat down, she saluted everyone on this table again, which was a necessary etiquette.

It is precisely because of these people on this table that the family can be as brilliant as it is now, but next time, she doesn't need to salute again, because she has also become "owner".

Mr. Patou then picked up a knife and fork, cut a piece of steaming meat from the roasted chicken leg, put it in his mouth, chewed it nine times, and then swallowed it.

Then he picked up the napkin and stained it with the non-existent oil stain on the corner of his mouth, turned his head and smiled and thanked the cooks standing aside, "Very delicious dinner, thank you."

After the cooks bowed, they lined up and left here. Then the restaurant became lively. The movements of people when they ate made a lot of noise even when no one spoke.

No one eats at dinner unless he/she/it has something important enough, but obviously, no one has important news today.

Everyone was holding back questions. They didn't know why Anna could sit on that table. They wanted to ask what happened, but they couldn't open their mouths. They all looked very uncomfortable.

Today's dinner may be the shortest time in this period. Soon the young people left the table, bowed to Mr. Patu's table and left the restaurant.

One after another, they too wanted to know what happened.

Until the end, only Mr. Patu and Anna were left in the restaurant.

In an empty room, the slightest sound will be like ripples on a narrow water surface, echoing constantly.

Mr. Patu put down his knife and fork, and he looked at Anna.

"Too weird..."

Mr. Patu wiped his fingertips with a wet towel. He looked at Anna who was sitting across from him, "Time, event, timing, everything is too coincidental!"

"You have to understand that when all the coincidences come together, they are not coincidences!"

"I know you young people like to watch those messy TV shows. When the heroine and the heroine just sleep together, they can get pregnant..."

"Then this is a well-designed trap, it is not a coincidence."

"Help me about Lynch, I want to talk to him in private!"

"I don't want a fourth person to know about this!"

The first time he spoke, Anna put down the knife and fork, lowered her head slightly to express surrender, and listened carefully.

After she listened to what Mr. Patu said, although she did not understand what he meant, she still said that she would follow Mr. Patu's instructions.

Sometimes in such a big family, keeping indifferent to everyone. Is the best way.

You cannot be enthusiastic about your children because you are the head of the family, or give them more and better resources. That will only keep accumulating contradictions, until the contradictions erupt completely.

It is the easiest way not to treat these people as their own children. It is the same for everyone. This is limited justice, but at least, he is just!

Then Anna knew that she could get up and say goodbye. She put down the knife and fork, cleaned her face and hands, got up and bowed slightly to Mr. Patu and saluted, "Very delicious dinner, father."

After Mr. Patu nodded slightly in return, Anna left quickly.

After a few more minutes, he stood up, looked at the restaurant where he was alone, and turned away blankly.

The next day, Anna came to the villa with a stomach full of doubts, but fortunately, it was only doubts rather than experience.

"My father wants to chat with you in private." Anna did not go in circles, and directly said the commission she had accepted.

Lynch was not surprised at all. Mr. Patu could detect that he was not surprised. It was like an old hunter standing downwind and knowing if there was any prey upwind.

Some things cannot be hidden, smells, traces after actions, and even behavioral inertia driven by animal instincts.

The market is too.

With so many coincidences and coincidences, how could Mr. Patou, who specializes in resource business, fail to notice these problems.

Moreover, he is also the executive president of the Star Dream Butterfly Consortium. He has a keen perception of the changes in the entire market, and he has discovered some problems.

More importantly, Lynch was "curious" not long ago and asked some sensitive questions.

He can guess, it's not surprising!

Lynch gave an affirmative answer and agreed on a time.

In the evening a few days later, on the artificial lake outside the city, two people sat in a small boat.

There are only two of them here, but neither of them has a fishing rod.

Lynch doesn't like fishing. He doesn't like to waste his limited time on fishing. He can understand the game between man and fish and the joy of winning the game, but he just doesn't like this time-wasting sport.

So the two people just sat on the boat, sitting face to face, just like a fool.

"I should bring a fishing rod, even if I don't fish, at least it looks better." Lynch opened up the court first, and his opening remarks made Mr. Patu a little more smile.

This rigid guy rarely expresses his emotions, and then the feeling of "he seems to be laughing" disappears, leaving only his usual appearance.

"Well, we have limited time, can we skip this paragraph?"

After getting Lynch’s affirmation, Mr. Patu asked directly, "You plan to shoot silver, are you?"

Lynch did not admit or deny, "Why do you think so?"

"Because Nagalil discovered an open-pit gold mine!"

"You are not in this business. You may not understand our sensitivity to these things. The price of gold fell immediately after the gold mine was discovered."

"This has deepened people's worries about gold. Silver is so strong that you have to raise the price of silver!"

"The better and faster the silver rises, the more disappointed people are in gold, and vice versa."

"More funds will flow from gold to silver. You still plan to do something with silver."

Lynch is not surprised to hear Mr. Patou’s analysis. Many people can analyze the results. What he is curious about is not here, but...

"why me?"

Mr. Patu looked at Lynch, "Of the people I know, only you fit my guess best."

"Linch, not everyone dares to step on a tightrope and dance. I talked to you about this last time. You are an enemy of the world."

"Maybe there are more than tens of billions of funds in the market now~lightnovelpub.net~ you have to leverage it, and those people will make you pay the price of your life."

Lynch shook his head after listening, "People always think about the good when considering the choices they make. Just like me, no matter how radical it is, I will feel that I am successful."

"When you look at other people's choices, you will be too conservative, and always feel that the possibility of failure will be greater."

"We can't just see risks and not talk about profits, Mr. Patou, you should understand that the greater the risk..."

Mr. Patu barely paused and continued, "The bigger the reward!"

Lin Qi nodded, "Yes, ten billion, even if I can only put five percent of it in my pocket, it is worthy of such a risk."

"As for whether anyone you considered would harm me through other methods..."

Lynch pursed his mouth and thought for a while, then smiled and said, "I will be their danger before they pose a danger to me!"
