Gods: Start with Goblins

Is this person pretending to be indifferent, or is he really indifferent? He muttered to himself, it was fine when facing a peer, after all, they were of similar age, and there was no need to be too restrained with each other. But when facing his father, the mistress of the Lei family, she could actually remain silent. This kind of composure is not something that ordinary people can have.

"Mr. Luo, are you really not nervous at all?" Lei Chong couldn't help but ask. He wanted to know what Luo Dan was really thinking, whether he was confident or really didn't care.

Luo Dan smiled gently, with a hint of mystery and calmness in his smile. "Second Young Master Lei, what's the use of being nervous? Now that things have come to this point, I naturally have my plans." His tone was calm and firm, as if everything was under his control.

Lei Chong couldn't help but admire Luo Dan even more after hearing this. He knew that Luo Dan was definitely not an ordinary person to say such a thing. He secretly decided that when he met his father later, he must introduce Luo Dan to him and let his father see the elegance of this young talent.

The two walked and talked, and soon arrived at the main hall of the Lei family. In the main hall, Master Lei and Madam Lei were already sitting, and on both sides were the elders and relatives of the Lei family, all of whom were curious, waiting for Luo Dan's arrival.

"Father, Mother, this is the Young Master Luodan Luo that I mentioned to you." Lei Chong introduced loudly as he entered the door, his tone full of respect and reverence.

Upon hearing this, Master Lei and Madam Lei looked up at Luo Dan, with a trace of scrutiny in their eyes. They knew that Lei Chong would not bring someone home for no reason, and this Master Luo must have something extraordinary.

"Mr. Luo, I have long heard of your great name." Master Lei said, his voice steady and powerful, revealing a kind of aura of authority without anger. "I heard from Chong'er that you have dragon blood in your body. Is this true?"

Luo Dan smiled slightly after hearing this. He did not directly answer Master Lei's question, but slowly said: "Master Lei, the matter of dragon blood is no trivial matter. Since I have come to the Lei family, I naturally have my sincerity. However, how to deal with this dragon blood still requires us to discuss slowly."

Upon hearing this, Master Lei's eyes flashed with admiration. He could see that Luo Dan was a sensible and wise man. He secretly decided that he must have a good talk with Luo Dan to see what this young talent was planning. The other people in the Lei family also stared at Luo Dan, their hearts full of curiosity and expectation.

Lei Chong was a little more strict with him, and took every step carefully, fearing that something might go wrong. He led him into the main hall, feeling both nervous and expectant. In the main hall, the flickering candlelight reflected the portraits of the Lei family's ancestors, which looked solemn and dignified. As soon as Lei Chong stepped over the threshold, he felt the oppressive atmosphere, and he knew that his father was waiting for him.

"Chong'er, you're back. How's the thing I asked you to do going?" Father Lei's voice was majestic and steady, echoing in the main hall like thunder. He sat in the main seat, wearing gorgeous clothes, with eyes as sharp as an eagle, as if he could see through everything.

Lei Chong bowed to his father, a trace of guilt flashed in his eyes. He lowered his head and said in a trembling voice: "I'm sorry, father, I'm incompetent and didn't get the dragon blood back." After that, he closed his eyes and waited for his father's punishment.

"What? The family needs dragon blood right now, how can you be so useless?" Father Lei slammed the table, stood up, and glared. His voice was like thunder, shaking the candlelight in the main hall. Lei Chong did not dare to refute a word, but knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and was filled with self-blame and guilt.

Father Lei paced back and forth in the hall, his face mixed with anger and worry. He knew the importance of dragon blood to the Lei family. Without dragon blood, the Lei family's strength would be greatly reduced. He stared at Lei Chong and said angrily: "My Lei family has been a hero for generations, how could you be such a useless person?"

At this moment, Lei's father's eyes fell on Luo Dan who was beside Lei Chong. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked up and down at the stranger. Luo Dan was dressed in plain clothes, with a handsome face and deep eyes, giving people an extraordinary feeling.

"Who is this..." Father Lei asked in a deep voice, with a hint of doubt and scrutiny in his tone.

Lei Chong immediately stood up and introduced him to his father, "Father, this is Young Master Luo Danluo, a friend I met outside. Although he is young, he is very talented and may be able to help our Lei family solve the problem of dragon blood."

Upon hearing this, Father Lei raised his eyebrows slightly, and became more interested in Luo Dan. He looked Luo Dan up and down, trying to see something from his eyes and temperament. Luo Dan smiled and calmly welcomed Father Lei's scrutiny.

"Oh? What do you think, Mr. Luo?" Father Lei asked in a deep voice, with a hint of temptation in his tone.

Luo Dan smiled slightly and said slowly: "Master Lei, I have indeed heard about the matter of dragon blood. However, this matter is of great importance and we need to take a long-term view. I believe that as long as we work together, we will definitely find a solution."

Upon hearing this, Father Lei's eyes flashed with approval. He could see that Luo Dan was a sensible and wise man. He nodded and motioned Lei Chong and Luo Dan to sit down and discuss in detail. So, the three of them sat around the table and began to discuss the matter of dragon blood. In the main hall, the candlelight flickered, reflecting their serious and determined faces, as if foreshadowing a storm was coming.

"Father, this is Young Master Luo Dan, and he is also the winner of the dragon blood." Lei Chong stood in the center of the main hall and introduced respectfully. His eyes moved back and forth between Luo Dan and his father, feeling nervous and expectant.

"Oh?" Hearing this, Father Lei raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. He looked up and down at Luo Dan. This young man did not look like someone who could pay such a huge sum of money to bid for dragon blood.

After hearing this last sentence, Father Lei finally became interested. He sat up straight, folded his hands on the table, and said in a deep voice: "So you are the one who bought the dragon blood. I didn't expect that young friend Luo is so rich at such a young age. Chong'er, what is the reason for your visit to our Lei family?" Lei Chong glanced at Luo Dan, then at his father, and considered how to start. He knew that his father had always been very concerned about the affairs of the Lei family, and this time the matter of dragon blood was even more related to the future of the Lei family. He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Father, I know what the Lei family is facing now. Dragon blood is very important to our family. So, I ask Mr. Luo for help. We plan to buy the thing at a corresponding price."

At this point, Lei Chong paused for a moment and observed his father's expression. His father frowned, as if he was thinking about something. Lei Chong's heart tightened, and he continued, "It's just that Mr. Luo doesn't believe in our Lei family's affairs and wants to come with me to see the situation. I took the initiative to bring Mr. Luo home. Please punish me, father."

Upon hearing this, Father Lei did not get angry immediately. He looked at Lei Chong, with a complicated look in his eyes. After a moment, he slowly said, "Chong'er, although you acted on your own this time, it was also for the future of the Lei family. Your father does not blame you. However, my friend Luo, since you have taken the photo of the dragon blood, why did you come to our Lei family? Don't you know what the dragon blood means to our Lei family?"

Luo Dan smiled and replied calmly, "Master Lei, I naturally know the importance of dragon blood to the Lei family. The reason why I came here is, on the one hand, I want to personally understand the situation of the Lei family, and on the other hand, I also want to discuss cooperation with the Lei family. I believe that the Lei family is a family with integrity and strength. I am willing to cooperate with the Lei family to jointly deal with the current difficulties."

Upon hearing this, Father Lei's eyes flashed with approval. He could see that Luo Dan was a sensible and wise man. He nodded and motioned Lei Chong and Luo Dan to sit down and talk in detail. The three of them sat around the table, and Father Lei began to introduce the situation of the Lei family and their urgent need for dragon blood to Luo Dan in detail. Luo Dan listened carefully, nodding his head from time to time to show his agreement. In the main hall, the candlelight flickered, reflecting their serious and determined faces, as if foreshadowing the beginning of a new cooperation.

Lei Chong said this with a bit of sincerity and expectation in his tone. He looked at his father with a firm light in his eyes, as if to tell his father that his choice this time was well thought out.

Father Lei listened to his son's words, his brows gradually relaxed, and the doubt in his eyes was gradually replaced by understanding. He glanced at his son, but did not blame him much, just sighed softly, as if to say: "My child, you have grown up and have your own ideas." Then, he turned his eyes to Luo Dan, looking up and down at the young man.

"Young friend Luo is indeed not an ordinary person. This is the first time I have heard someone make such a request." Father Lei's voice was steady and powerful, with a bit of admiration and curiosity. "However, if young friend is willing to help the Lei family, you will be our Lei family's guest of honor in the future. Our Lei family will always remember this favor and will always be grateful to young friend."

Father Lei's words were sincere and frank, without any hypocrisy or courtesy. He knew very well that the Lei family was in a precarious situation, and the matter of dragon blood was related to the survival of the Lei family. If Luo Dan was willing to help, it would undoubtedly be a life-saving straw for the Lei family.

Luo Dan felt a warm current in his heart when he heard what Father Lei said. He could see that Father Lei was a responsible, affectionate and righteous man. Such a family was worth helping. He smiled slightly, with a bit of confidence and calmness in his tone: "Master Lei, since I have made such a request, I naturally have my own plan. I am willing to lend a helping hand to the Lei family and jointly deal with the current predicament."

When Father Lei heard this, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes. He could see that Luo Dan was a sensible and wise man, and his attitude was also very sincere. He nodded and motioned Luo Dan to continue.

Luo Dan continued, "However, before I help, I also want to understand the specific situation of the Lei family and the matter of dragon blood. After all, this is not a trivial matter, and I need to consider it carefully."

Upon hearing this, Father Lei immediately understood what Luo Dan meant. He nodded to show his understanding: "Young friend Luo is right. This matter does need careful consideration. How about this, I'll have someone bring the Lei family genealogy and the relevant information about dragon blood to you so that you can take a closer look."

As he said this, Father Lei turned around and winked at the servant behind him. The servant immediately understood and hurriedly left the main hall. After a while, he came over with a thick stack of information and handed it to Luo Dan respectfully.

Luo Dan took the information and read it carefully. His eyes were focused and serious, as if he was reading an invaluable treasure. Lei's father and Lei Chong looked at Luo Dan and felt a surge of hope in their hearts. They believed that as long as Luo Dan was willing to help, the Lei family would be able to overcome this difficulty.

In this way, the three of them sat in the main hall, the candlelight flickering, reflecting their serious and determined faces. Luo Dan asked questions while flipping through the materials, and Lei's father and Lei Chong patiently answered them. Their conversation was sometimes serious and sometimes relaxed, as if they were discussing a very important matter. And this matter would determine the future and fate of the Lei family.

He looked at Father Lei, narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked strange, as if he was weighing a major decision in his mind. The flickering candlelight reflected in his deep eyes, adding a bit of mystery.

After a moment, he slowly opened his mouth in a low and powerful voice: "Let me be frank with you. Even if what you said is confirmed, I may not give you the things. Can you agree to this?" There was an unquestionable firmness in his words.

Upon hearing this, Father Lei indeed fell silent. He frowned, and a hint of hesitation and struggle flashed in his eyes. The Lei family has been passed down from generation to generation, but now it is facing such a dilemma. The importance of dragon blood is self-evident. However, Luo Dan in front of him is obviously not an easy character to deal with. The conditions he proposed made it difficult to make a decision.

Lei Chong listened, and his face also showed a bit of worry and depth. He stared at Luo Dan, trying to read something from his expression, but Luo Dan's face was normal, without the slightest fluctuation.

The main hall was completely silent, with only the candlelight flickering and rustling. After a long time, Father Lei finally let out a long sigh, breaking the silence. He spoke, with a hint of helplessness and determination in his voice: "If you really don't want to, then that may be the fate of our Lei family. We won't force you, but we will use all our benefits to persuade you. I think there is a way to convince you."

Luo Dan curled his lips, but did not directly answer whether this was right or wrong, but his expression became more and more teasing. He looked deeply at Lei's father, with a hint of amusement in his eyes, as if he was watching an interesting play.

Then, he cupped his hands towards the person in front of him, with a bit of politeness and respect in his tone: "Then senior, please take me to see your weapons. I heard that the weapons of the Lei family are unparalleled in the world, so I came here today to take a look." (End of this chapter)
