Tantric family to divine dynasty

Chapter 103 Negligence
  Taking advantage of the time when pensions were being distributed and funerals were held, an internal investigation of the Fisher family also quietly began.

Erin called everyone into the room alone to talk to her at length.

She is very skillful in using words to guide the other person's malice, and through her ability to listen to the malice, she can sense the deepest thoughts of everyone in the Fisher family.

In order for everyone to be willing to accept the order, even Byrne himself accepted her inspection without exception.

Although a few servants and guards were found who were slightly malicious or who stole family belongings, no so-called betrayers were found after a full round of investigations.

A few days later at noon, Byrne kept wandering in the hall, thinking for a long time, and suddenly said to the guard captain standing not far away:

"Tio, call your wife over."

Tio was stunned for a moment, a certain possibility filled his heart with great fear, but he still followed Byrne's order.

"Okay, I understand, let's go."

He eats and sleeps in the manor and rarely goes home. Basically, he only goes back for one or two days a month. In fact, the relationship with his wife is not very good recently.

However, although the work is extremely hard, Tio's monthly salary is five times that of ordinary guards, and his annual salary and bonus are ten times that of ordinary guards.

Therefore, he has always worked hard without complaining, and he has no dissatisfaction with the Fisher family in his heart.

Tio's wife was also brought to the family manor by him. It was the first time for her to come to the interior of such a huge manor. Her expression was extremely astonished and she stared at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling for a long time.

"It's so beautiful. How much does it cost?"

Several servants secretly laughed when they saw the poor man's look.

Eileen and she communicated alone in the room, using skillful words to try to guide the malice deep in each other's hearts.

She did have malicious intentions, but she was just dissatisfied with the Fisher family for always keeping Tio tied up. Other than that, she had no other thoughts.

It seemed that it was not Tio's wife who leaked the secret. Tio and Byrne breathed a sigh of relief after getting Irene's answer.

Byrne really didn't want the problem to come from Tio's wife.

Tio, that man who is nearly fifty years old is not only his swordsmanship teacher, guard captain, and coachman.

He is also a soldier who has accompanied Fisher for many years. Like Vanessa and other boys and girls, he is a confidant who can be considered half of the Fisher family.

What if the traitor is his wife? According to the rules of the Fisher family, she must be executed secretly.

But even if Tio agrees with the Fisher family's sanctions, she will still have negative emotions in her heart in the future. Byrne can no longer re-employ him, but he can't let him leave the family.

The worst development is that the marginalized Tio finally bursts out with negative emotions and impulsively chooses to betray the family.

Although these are just some speculative possibilities, Byrne's scalp goes numb just thinking about it. It is almost the development that he fears most in his character.

Tio was really relieved. After his wife returned, he thought for a long time and asked Mr. Byrne for leave, saying that he was really tired recently and wanted to go home.

In fact, his reasons are true.

tired.

In this small-scale night defense battle, only seven family guards died. In the eyes of the extraordinary people, it was basically no loss.

On the contrary, it is worthy of publicity. They actually easily eliminated a second-level transcendent who came to attack at night!
  But Tio's mood was completely different.

He and the guards ate together every day. He still remembered that when a young guard first came to the Fisher family, he was very lively and humorous every day, and could often make everyone laugh after training.

But Tio heard someone say that after the battle started, half of his body was eaten alive by worms, and he wailed for a long time in front of everyone before being shot dead by his friends.

The guard who was under pressure to refill his gun also told him last night that he had decided to quit and planned to become a worker in a factory in Fein City.

It's not just him.

Tio clearly remembers the name of each dead guard, as well as their faces, personalities and hobbies.

They are all real people.

So he went to seven funerals and saw the relatives and friends of those people crying seven times.

Tio was once the boatswain of a merchant ship. The merchant ship ran around on the sea, doing trade most of the time, and occasionally turned into a pirate to plunder.

The feeling of killing and robbing is not pleasant, but Tio knows that he is the captain, and in this case, he must be loyal to the ship.

Because it was difficult for his wife to take care of her son at home alone, and because she was seriously injured in a water battle, Tio decided to spend the rest of her life in Nasir Town and never go to sea again.

But instead of making a living at sea, Tio could only make money by doing carpentry, and the family's income level plummeted.

After the birth of his second child, Tio, who finally couldn't stand the poverty and hardship, discussed with his wife that he must find a way to find something more profitable.

Later, through the introduction of the sea merchant Mr. John, Lucius met him immediately.

"Lucius, Tio is a very capable battlefield commander. I once hoped that he would be the boatswain of my ship. What a pity."

At that time, Tio immediately said: "I'm sorry, I really don't want to go to sea anymore."

He still remembered the lazy man looking at him for a long time, and finally nodded:

"Tio, haha, your eyes are very good. They are the eyes of those who have experienced hundreds of battles."

"As long as you can take my three swords, you can become the captain of the Fisher family's guard, but you must use actual combat weapons instead of wood. Do you have the courage?"

"Okay." Tio nodded.

Not only did he block Lucius's three consecutive sword strikes, he also suddenly dodged the fourth sword strike from the opponent's striking arm.

"You are very good. You understand that as long as you pick up a weapon, there are no rules in battle. Our Fisher's shield must not only be tough but also sensitive!"

"You're qualified!"

That Mr. Lucius is really a cunning guy, Tio made a judgment at that time. In the past few years, Tio has killed some people for the Fisher family. He knows that since he is the captain of the guard, he must be loyal to the Fisher family.

No matter what Fisher's family asked him to do, since he had received money for many years, he could not refuse them.

Tio believes that loyalty and responsibility are the most important qualities.

Training the family guards was a breeze, after all, there weren't many people worse than the group of would-be pirates on the ship.

However, Byrne, who returned from the military academy two years ago, shook his head and said that his method of taming those brats was meaningless.

"I need to turn them into soldiers who can fight low-level supernatural beings head-on."

"Instead of a bunch of idiots who know how to wield weapons."

Mr. Byrne and Mr. Lucius are two very different men.

He was originally a kind and timid smart child who liked to learn and was good at observing and summarizing.

In recent years, Mr. Byrne has grown rapidly, become more and more stable, and is finally able to do things for the family that he was reluctant to do.

In the past two years, Byrne taught him a lot of knowledge in the military academy, which made Tio, who had never received systematic training, suddenly become enlightened.

The originally chaotic experiences in his mind were fully unfolded, and many questions had answers and explanations.

However, many years of working as a guard captain forced Tio to neglect his family.

His home is in the south part of Nasir Town, and the house is not very big.

When Tio returned home, he saw his wife struggling to move things and immediately took them into her hands.

The wife asked in surprise: "Tio, why did you come home today? It shouldn't be your day to rest, right?"

Tio forced a smile, nodded and replied: "Mr. Byrne gave me a holiday today, so I'm back now to take a day off."

"It's really tiring after traveling far away. I really want to take a bath now."

"Ah."

The wife nodded, followed him back to the room without saying anything, and silently prepared a bath for him.

After Tio put down her things, she suddenly felt that she was reluctant to pay attention to her. Her daughter was cooking food at home and was surprised to see him back.

"..."

He sat on the chair and couldn't hear his wife say a word for a long time. He knew that the other party was really angry.

Tio didn't feel like she had done anything wrong. Although she couldn't go home often, she got most of her money back.

In order to support his family, he wanders between life and death every day, so it is normal for him to not care about communication with his family.

If they don't serve the Fisher family wholeheartedly, it's impossible for them to make themselves confidants!

When he thought about this, he suddenly became a little angry. He went through life and death for his family, and he didn't have a woman outside and didn't spend money randomly. Why was she still angry?

Obviously when I said I wanted to find a more lucrative job, you agreed!
  "Where's my son?"

Tio asked loudly why his eldest son was not at home and where had he gone?

The wife took a deep breath and responded coldly:

"Do you also know that you have a son? He left Nasir with his friends a few days ago. He said he was going to Fein City to find a job and didn't want to sit idle at home."

"what?"

Tio was stunned, surprised that his son would sneak away secretly, and asked in disbelief:

"You said he went to Fein City? When exactly did it happen, why don't I know?"

"Of course you don't know. You don't know anything. You and Mr. Byrne were outside at that time. By the time you come back, it will be too late. I can't persuade him!"

My wife spoke very quickly and started crying as she spoke. Tears fell one after another.

"If he is bullied outside or something happens to him, I will hate you forever!"

Tio was speechless, and after a while he wondered: "He would never do such a thing before, why is he so bold all of a sudden...Did those friends lead him astray? Who are his friends?"

The wife finally couldn't help shouting at the top of her lungs:

"The number of times you have met him in the past few years is not as many as the times you have met with those brothers. Do you really know what character he is now and what kind of person he is?"

"If you ask me again now, don't you think it's too late?"

Tio didn't know how to answer at all, but he couldn't apologize or comfort him. His wife cried silently and stopped saying anything. The family stayed in silence like this for the whole night.

He understood one thing very well. He already knew too much, and even if he wanted to leave the Fisher family, it would be impossible.

The Fisher family is able to make people who don't have extraordinary powers suddenly have extraordinary powers.

Tio lay on the bed and took a deep breath.

Although the truth of the most terrifying secret has not been truly revealed to themselves, Mr. Byrne and Ms. Irene are both hinting at some unimaginable great power to themselves.

He exists.

It wasn't until the next morning that Tio, who had stayed up all night, learned the news from the guard who came to deliver a message from the Fisher family.

The person who leaked his and Mr. Byrne's whereabouts was found.
