Chapter 215 The Choice of the Keller Family
Although it seems that Rhodes' confirmation is not a big problem, because even if these flame scrolls were purchased by the Keller family, they cannot explain anything. But for Keller, he knew very well that the problem was not. The most important thing is that if it is really as Rhodes said, it would be equivalent to making the Keller family related to the Emerald Tears, and this is definitely the thing Keller is most reluctant to see.
The reason is very simple, that is, the identity of Jade Tears is not ordinary.
If it were any other mercenary group, Keller would not be worried about Rhode's words. After all, it is very common for the Chamber of Commerce to support mercenary groups. If Rhode comes to trouble himself because of this kind, it is as naive as two children fighting and then crying to adults. But it is another matter to do something about Jade Tears. As we all know, Jade Tears was previously controlled by Frank, a nobleman of the Kingdom of Light. According to a series of recent events, Keller even privately heard that this mercenary group is likely to be related to the series of group destruction incidents of the mercenary group that had caused a lot of controversy in Deep Rock City and the previous attacks on Fengchao Channel, and it is more likely that the spy sent by the Kingdom of Light.
The speculation can be vaguely known among the top leaders, which is why even though Rhode almost killed Frank in the street, Crowze sent a few questions to send people to conduct routine questions. As for the sudden "disappearance" of Frank and his subordinates, although it was well known to everyone, the Mercenary Association and the official Shiroshi City were both strangely silent. Keller was not stupid. From this attitude, he knew that the Tears of Jade must have caused some trouble. It is very likely that the rumors were true. If the Tears of Jade did not inexplicably be destroyed or disappeared, then maybe soon, they would be taken directly to the square by the city guards to beheaded.
But now that they have disappeared, everything will be easy to discuss. This can be seen from the incident of Rhodes. Even if both sides bet on such a thing, the Mercenary Association must confirm and inquire about it to ensure that the Tears of Jade was not secretly attacked by Rhodes. However, this time they even omitted this necessary procedure, which was clearly prepared for the complete disappearance of the Tears of Jades. The association, which always puts the interests of mercenaries first, certainly could not give him any privileges because of Rhodes' identity. The only reason is that they have the need to make the Tears of Jades disappear.
But now, if the Keller family is really linked to the Tears of Emerald, then things are going to be big.
When Keller thought of this, he was covered in cold sweat. If the young man in front of him thought he was deliberately against him, it would be a big danger. From Rhode's actions, it can be seen that he is a royal party. Recently, he heard Crowze talk about it inadvertently. This young man seemed to be highly appreciated by the senior officials of Golden City. It can be imagined that he will definitely rise to the top in the future. He is just an ordinary and serious businessman. If he offended this young man with a bright future, he will definitely not have the best results in the future. Not only that, if he is a Crowze City
What would the Lord or other people who are interested know about this? The Keller family has contacts with the Kingdom of Light in private?! The Holy Soul is above. If they really know about this, then the Keller family will be over! If it is not normal, it would be fine. At this time, although it has not spread at such a sensitive moment, many upper-class people know that the Kingdom of Light is likely to conspire to incite riots in the Parfield area. At this time, news of the Keller family and the Kingdom of Light in private came out. Isn’t this seeking death?!!
At that time, not only will my future be over, but this is still good. If even the Keller family is completely destroyed.........
Thinking of this, the sweat on Keller's face suddenly came down. It was not until Rhode's voice appeared again that he pulled him back into reality.
"I'm still waiting for your explanation, Mr. Keller."
"This, I think I should be able to explain it to you."
Keller wiped the sweat on his face, but his face was pale at the moment. At the same time, he was secretly glad that Rhodes came to find him, and it seemed that he had not told him about this. Otherwise, if he handed this thing over to Lord Crowze or said it out, then he would be done. If he took a step back, even if it wasn't finished, Keller would not have any good results. After all, Rhodes had crypticly suggested that Marlene was also very troubled because of this. If she knew that the culprit who made her worried was actually the Keller family, then who would know what the young lady would think.
"To be honest, this ring is my daughter's..."
"oh?"
Hearing this answer, Rhode raised his brow, and he immediately remembered the fat woman who was like a dead pig.
"so?"
"So…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
As he said that, Keller picked up the bell on the table and shook it. Soon, when he heard the sound, the old housekeeper quickly walked into the room. However, before he could ask Keller what was wrong, the former immediately shouted angrily.
"Take Helen here immediately, no matter where she is, now, right now!!"
“Yes, Master!”
Seeing Keller's face turned pale, the old housekeeper did not dare to neglect and quickly took the order to leave. It was not until this time that Keller gave him a breath. He leaned on the sofa, wiped the sweat beads on his forehead, and looked at the black-haired man in front of him, but didn't know what to say. Facing Keller, Rhode didn't say anything. He just casually tasted the black tea and snacks at hand, looking like a guest here, rather than a guy who came to ask for advice.
"This…Mr. Rod, please forgive me for taking the liberty, this matter…..."
"I didn't tell anyone."
Rhode put down the teacup.
"I'm just a little curious. After all, in my impression, the noble family is not like the kind of person standing opposite the principality..."
"This is of course, Mr. Rod. Our Keller family is always loyal to the Principality. This will never change. I can swear here in the name of my soul! Such things are absolutely impossible."
Although it was not stated explicitly, Keller could tell from Rhodes' words that he guessed it was indeed a matter of nowhere... This is really troublesome!
He didn't know how much Rhode would believe in himself, because he was sophist by heart, no matter how he said it, in fact, as the head of the family, Keller also knew his daughter's actions to a certain extent. However, because he had not asked much about the reasons for handing over the business association affairs recently, Keller also thought that it was good to let his daughter learn to invest and support the mercenary group. After all, this is also a very important experience for the chamber of commerce to contact mercenaries. But he did not expect that he would ask less questions at that time, and it would become like this!
The Holy Soul is on top! There are so many mercenary groups in the Deep Rock City. Who is she going to find? She insists on entangling with the damn Emerald Tears!
"Dad, are you looking for me?"
At this moment, Helen walked into the living room under the guidance of the old butler. She glanced and soon saw Rhode. This made Helen's fat face darken, but in front of her father, she did not have an attack, but lowered her head and walked to Keller's side. Keller looked at his daughter with a pale face, and then he waved his hand to signal the old butler to leave. After he turned around and left the room and closed the door, he asked coldly.
"What were you doing the other day?"
"I......I didn't do anything before?"
"Didn't do it?"
Keller frowned when he heard Helen's answer. Then he pointed to the ring on the table and asked sternly.
"So what's going on with this ring!?"
Hearing his father's inquiry, Helen looked in the direction of his finger curiously, and immediately screamed after seeing the ring.
"Ah!! That's the token I gave to Barney, how could it be here!?"
Speaking of this, Helen immediately jumped up and looked at Rhodes.
"Is it you? You must have killed them, right! It's you who did it! I knew, you..."
"Shut up!"
Hearing this, Keller could no longer help but slapped Helen in the face with a vicious slap. The crisp slap sounded, and the girl immediately stopped cursing. She stared at her father blankly, completely unable to figure out what was going on.
"Dad, why did you hit me? What did I do wrong?"
"You also asked me what you did wrong? Why did you mix with the Tears of Emerald?! Tell me, how did you mix together!"
“I………I…………………”
With Helen's intermittent talk, Rod and Keller finally understood what happened. It turned out that Helen did plan to invest and support a mercenary group at the beginning, but at that time she did not know the existence of the Jade Tears. Instead, she learned about the mercenary group when she heard her servants talk. It has to be said that the story of Jade Tears, which looked very tragic, touched the girl, so she sent someone to meet Barney, and was moved by the latter's sincerity. Finally, Helen agreed to Barney to support the Jade Tears Mercenary Group. Of course, the girl also had her own little plan to do this. Due to the previous conflict between Helen and Rhode, the girl hated his existence very much. Although objectively speaking, Rhode protected this little one.
My sister was not kidnapped, but her "rude and rude" behavior made Helen unacceptable. As for her later complaining to her father, her father not only failed to teach this annoying relatives a lesson as she thought, but instead gave him the treasures in the family. This made Helen feel very angry. If she had heard news about Rhode from time to time, she would have forgotten it after a long time. However, because Rhode had been making a big fuss after coming to Deep Rock City, Helen had to keep listening to his news. Especially when she learned about those people's praise for Rhode, Helen was extremely disgusted. So she was also holding on to the starlight and giving Rhode a good-looking idea, and finally chose to support the Tears of Jade.
Of course, the girl had a romantic delusion at that time. The Tears of Emerald expanded and grew up with her support and became the most powerful mercenary group in the Parfield area. The Starlight was supported by it in its shadow. Her father saw her business potential, praised her greatly, and handed over the entire chamber of commerce to her own hands... It was precisely for this reason that Helen generously paid to sweep all the inventory on the market when she heard that Barney had not enough money to buy the magic scroll. In her opinion, it would be best if Rhodes' Starlight could suffer a little.
Unfortunately, daydreaming is daydreaming.
"You...you......"
After hearing his daughter's words, Keller was so angry that he didn't know what to say. It's been so long since the matter was gone. He thought Helen hadn't taken this matter to heart for a long time. After all, no matter what, the other party saved your life. Even if he acted a little rudely, did you remember it for so long?
However, compared to Keller, Rhode was very open-minded—he has seen many petty women, and even a classmate was worried about another woman for half a year because his boyfriend looked at him, so this kind of thing was nothing to him.
"Get back to your room right away! Don't come out until you realize your mistake!"
Just as Rhodes was wandering around the sky, Keller had already made a decision. He slapped his daughter several times, and then called on guards to push Helen, who was furious and imprisoned directly, and for whatever reason, she would not be allowed to come out.
It was not until the screaming fat girl was dragged away that Keller let out a long sigh and then sat back on the sofa.
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Rhode, this happened because of my mistake."
"Don't apologize to me, Mr. Keller."
Rhode raised his brows, and the expression on his face did not change at all.
"After all, everyone will make mistakes, right?"
“You are talking about it.”
Hearing this sentence, Keller's heart was relieved. He smiled and rubbed his hands.
"So... Since the incident started because of the little girl, I naturally would not evade responsibility. Our Keller family will definitely compensate the losses caused by the little girl's behavior."
Of course, both sides knew that this was lying with their eyes open. Strictly speaking, what Helen did did not cause any real losses to Rhodes and others, but both sides knew that this was just an excuse. Keller hoped that this would make Rhodes keep silent about this matter. In this way, his efforts would be equivalent to a "hunt fee" to ensure the safety of the Keller family.
And Rhodesang will not object. Strictly speaking, the reason he came here this time was actually for this.
As a player, if you don’t squeeze the benefits of the mission to maximize, then will you still be called a player?
"Since Mr. Keller said that..."
As he said that, Rhode crossed his hands, retracted into the sofa, and narrowed his eyes.
"So, I have a request..."
