Chapter 704 Starry Sky Hunt 79

Central City doesn't know where to start to spread a message:

Grand Duke Keratic has been robbed!

I heard that that day, his men fought with the other three families for a long time.As the final winner, the Duke returned home with a full load!

But no one expected that on the way back to Central City, the fleet was robbed by star robbers!

Rumors had been brewing for days.At first, everyone didn't quite believe it. After all, when it comes to making money, the Duke is always the champion.

Even he didn't believe it himself.

The steward came to ask him if he wanted to control the spread of the news.

The Duke counted the harvest list and was happy on his own. After a while, he said to the steward: "Huh, let them talk! A bunch of cowards, when my fleet filled the cargo hold, they didn't even prepare a ship Come out! These guys are only worthy of eating ashes behind us, and they can only imagine behind our backs to satisfy their jealousy!"

His brows are filled with pride and happiness.

However, at night.

The duke found out that he had lost contact with the commander of the fleet, and he began to lose touch.

Are the rumors true?Really robbed?

He subconsciously held the printed list in his hand.

That's the fleet he invested the most, and it still carries such a huge fortune, isn't it? !

This...it hurts so much that I can't breathe.

The Duke stayed up all night, and his subordinates were busy carrying out various tasks according to his orders, and they were also very busy.

The next day, no news.

The Duke was still consoling himself: "Hey...no news is the best news..."

On the third day, it was still the same.

The butler really wanted to persuade him to accept the reality.

But this reality may not be so easy to accept.

You know, the Duke has fallen into a dream made of money. He emptied his pockets like crazy to build a fleet, calling it "investment".

Now, only [-]% of the treasury in the mansion is left.

The more valuable things have long been taken out and used up.

Since the heir of the family came to this world, he has never been so shabby.

On the fourth day, two more fleets lost contact.

……

Time passed day by day.

There are fewer and fewer avatars in the duke's confidential group.

His fleet, his treasure, his dream of making a comeback and making everyone look up...

"Oh! It's impossible!"

The alcoholic man had red eyes, and his hair was scratched into an ugly bird's nest by himself.

The butler was helpless and distressed, and he didn't know how to comfort his master.

"Who did it all, who is it! Come out!"

The Duke yelled angrily.

He threw the bottle.

The bottle was of good quality, it was not smashed, and it bounced a few times after landing, almost hitting the black cat in the corner of the courtyard.

It gave a growl of displeasure, which in turn startled the Duke.

He then flew into a rage: "Go away, you bloody bastard! You are old and ugly, and will only ruin my luck, housekeeper, go kill it!"

The black cat's eyes showed humanized contempt, and it jumped over the wall with a light jump.

The housekeeper was ordered to catch it, but after chasing it, he couldn't find it.

Such a spiritual cat, of course, is Toffee.

Since the duke wants to know who robbed him of his money, let him know.

Toffee pretended to be his subordinate that night and sent the "investigation results" to his brain.

Early the next morning, passers-by could hear the Duke roaring on the street outside: "Grice! Grice!!"

It turned out to be the notorious star thief family, ha, that mouse!

He has to teach them a lesson.

If you dare to snatch his things, you must spit them out completely!

The duke's treasury is indeed depleted, because it has been turned into a stolen transport fleet and an unfinished spaceship.But those in the vault were hoarded property, and he had other accounts for his day-to-day expenses and personal armaments.

The gold fishing activities have long ruined his popularity, and it is impossible for him to ask the Federal Guard for help in such a private matter.But it doesn't matter, in his opinion, it won't take much effort to wipe out a small Star Bandit family!

He was so angry that he planned to go out himself.

But when he was about to leave, a woman's visit delayed his trip.

"It's you?" The Duke's cold and hard face showed a little softness.

But he found that the person came with a haggard face and his clothes were not as elegant as before. He couldn't help frowning and said dissatisfiedly, "How did you make yourself look like this?"

This lady is Joan.

Her haggardness was naturally due to the news of her own daughter's death.

For ten years she really thought it was her daughter that the Duchess was bringing back.

She often asked about Lola's daily life.

What color clothes Lola likes, she will prepare similar styles at home; what Lola likes to eat, she will learn from the chef... I hope that one day the Duke will introduce her to her, so that her daughter can live in her home even if One day, just thinking about it, she was so happy that she was about to die.

Joan thinks she is not a good woman, but she really loves her daughter.

She always wanted to be a good mother, but failed to realize that her "daughter" had changed.

With such torture, how could she even think about dressing herself up?

"It's nothing, are you going away?" Joan lowered her eyes bitterly.

She was born in a civilian family, and what attracted this man the most was her beauty, and Lola, who had the blood of the two of them.Now that her beauty is damaged and her daughter is gone, even if the Duke doesn't say anything about this relationship, she knows that it can't last.

"Ah."

Joan mustered up her courage and said, "I've come to say goodbye to you."

The Duke was very surprised and thought, even you want to leave me?

No, it's not leaving, it's betrayal.

She was inseparable from him when he was proud of life, but now that his reputation has been damaged and his property has shrunk, she is leaving—what else could it be if it wasn't betrayal?

He didn't want to hear her explain at all, "Got it, go away."

After speaking, he pushed Joan's shoulder away and strode away.

Joan froze for a moment.

She hasn't gotten used to this man's sudden indifference, and that disgust hurts a bit.

However, when she realized that the two of them had nothing to do with each other in the future, an unprecedented sense of relief filled her heart, and the sadness just now turned into a faint smile.

"Goodbye, and I wish you a smooth journey." She said silently in her heart.

She plans to leave the rich area.

She has saved a lot of money over the years, there is no need for her to stay here and be criticized.She once felt sorry for the Duchess, because the baby girl's death was probably due to her negligence, and later things...evened out.

That figure is getting smaller and smaller.

At this moment, Joan didn't know that this would be the last time she would see the Duke.

Later, when the news of the Duke's death came back, it became an important topic of conversation for the nobles at their next banquet—have you heard that the big fool of the Kelatik family, who was bent on making money, was chopped into meat paste by the star thief!

　Thank you Qingfeng Zhuyun for the 100 coins, have fun during the holidays
