Chapter 23 Trading and seeking revenge

It turned out to be the grandfather of that girl's movie. No wonder he helped him wholeheartedly, it turned out to be to repay his kindness. Du Chen laughed secretly that that kind of good deed was worth it, not only made the Lotus Treasure Mirror improve, but also gave kindness to a prime minister.

Antoine came to Du Chen and looked at him with a smile. Du Chen was also looking at Antoine. The old man was rich in shape, with a gray-white beard, and even his lips were covered. He must have been a burly man when he was young. I really don’t know how he gave birth to a granddaughter as beautiful as Avril.

"Francis, our family hasn't thanked me since you saved Avril! That bastard Fries was so hateful last time. If it weren't for you, Avril would probably..."

Du Chen hurriedly said modestly: "Prime Minister, it's just a trivial matter. I think, even if I don't save Avril, there will definitely be others who will see the wrongs on the way. You don't need to thank you for this." He bowed and said: "You helped me a lot today, and I should thank you!"

"How could this be a trivial matter? Avril is my dear!" Antoine pulled Du Chen's hand and strode towards the palace gate. "Steve, I want to have a talk with your brother alone."

Steve handed Du Chen a warm look and left quietly.

Antoine brought Du Chen to the square in front of the palace gate. He was very secluded except for the warriors. He let go of Du Chen's hand, "Lord Francis, I am not talking to you today as the Prime Minister of the Empire, but as a grandfather!"

His face was very kind and smiling.

But Du Chen felt a bad premonition in his heart. When he contacted the old guy in the hall just now, he seemed to understand something.

Did he save the beauty that day and let Avril fall in love at first sight?

Antoine is not here to choose a grandson-in-law, right?

Antoine sighed and said, "To be honest, Avril often mentioned you recently. I, an old guy in my sixties, can naturally see what she means, but... please forgive me, my granddaughter can only marry the powerful God of Fighting, and you, unfortunately, cannot practice Fighting Qi!"

Du Chen breathed a sigh of relief, Fortunately, as long as he was not here to propose marriage, everything would be easy to say.

Damn "Lotus Treasure Mirror"!

"So, I hope you understand what I mean today!" Antoine stared at Du Chen and stretched out three fingers, "In three years, I will guarantee you to be a viscount, have a promising position in the imperial government, and your industry reaches 10,000 gold coins! As long as you no longer pester Avril!"

I'm old, are you wrong? Du Chen cursed in his heart. Is that a dead girl seducing me?

Can people who have practiced the boy skills still seduce others?

Du Chen smashed his mouth and said nothing for a while. Antoine's proposal was very good. Anyway, nothing could happen to him and Avril. It would be better to give it a favor. But, why did Du Chen think that accepting such conditions is a very humiliating thing?

He is a thief, but not a beggar, and he doesn't need to use women to exchange for other people's alms!

Du Chen said seriously: "Prime Minister, I refuse your kindness!"

Suddenly, Antoine's kind face disappeared, replaced by the majesty of the imperial prime minister!

"In addition, I will not see Avril again!" Du Chen smiled, "If the Prime Minister has nothing else, I will take my leave first, Your Majesty is still waiting for my plan!"

Antoine looked at Du Chen strangely, a little lost. He couldn't understand what Du Chen meant, "Okay, I hope you do what you say."

It was already lunch time, and the debate in the palace came to an end, and all the ministers came out one after another.

The first one was Francis' father Angels. When he saw Du Chen being with the Prime Minister, he was stunned at first, and then came to greet Antoine cordially, "Prime Minister, thank you for your support for the St. Cain family today!"

"You have to be polite, I like this child Francis very much. Oh, it's Lord Francis! He is really good, smart and capable, and I'm optimistic about his future!" Antoine politely said a few words and changed the subject. "Your Excellency, the Siglu Legion has been guarding Haitian Pass for many years. It's really too hard. I think, how about the remaining seven thousand gold coins, why not increase their military salary for them?"

Angels has his own uniqueness to be the vice president. He reciprocates and smiles: "Thank you, the Prime Minister, for the new candidate for the Finance Minister, I would like to propose your eldest son, how about it?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and stopped talking.

Angels bid farewell to Antoine, and his face suddenly became cold. He glanced at Du Chen and said, "You are the first of the three sons in the family who have a title. There are two ways now. One is to continue living in St. Cain Manor, and the other is to open your own house. You should think about it carefully."

Du Chen also responded coldly: "I understand, I will consider it seriously!"

Looking at the expressionless look of the two, it is hard to believe that this is a conversation between father and son.

"Oh, congratulations to Duke Angels. Frances was awarded the title at the age of fifteen. The glory of Siglu's Holy Lightning Fighting God is even more dazzling!" A big meat ball came over with a smile. Du Chen saw that this guy was extremely fat. The other ministers were all nobles with large upper bodies and tight lower bodies, but he was too fat to wear tight pants, so he could only wear a dark green robe.

Under the sky blue hair, a big round face always smiled, like an authentic profiteer, 'Nether Frances, do you still remember Uncle Widno? We met last year'

Du Chen naturally didn't know him.

Angels introduced: "This is Kaman's father, descendant of the storm god Aruman, the imperial minister of rituals and laws, and the patriarch of the Crison family, Duke Widno!"

When talking about Kaman, Du Chen remembered that the sheep horn warhammer in his hand was the one who stole their family. In addition, the elder brother once mentioned that the Crison family's Hurricane Heavy Armored Soldier was one of the three most powerful soldiers of the Empire.

"Uncle Wiedno, hello, I'm very happy to see you!" Du Chen said with a smile.

Widno patted Du Chen's shoulder kindly, looking like he was approving, but he was thinking to himself, Kaman, my son, my father promised you that he would give you a chance to kill Francis with a legitimate reason, and wait with peace of mind.

"Oh, Lord Francis is so young and promising! By the way, Mr. Angels, when I saw your son, I remembered something. This matter is very important and I must ask for your opinion!"

Angels said: "Please say it!"

"It's like this. One month after Shen'an Day every year is the day of the Doushen Academy's admissions examination. As the Minister of Etiquette and Law of the Empire, I naturally assume the responsibility of arranging the examination!"

Angels smiled, "My eldest son Steve is not good enough and failed the exam twice, but I won't know it today. In addition, Charlie is eighteen years old and will also take this exam. I have confidence in him!"
