Chapter 17 Family Crisis
Things were just as Earl Silvio said, no one came to grab this task at all.

Just kidding, even the mercenaries who didn't see the battle outside the door just now have learned about Anthony's strength from others, who would dare to fight him.

Whether there are silver-level fighters among the mercenaries present is still a matter of debate.Even if there is, will he still lower his status to grab this obviously default task?
After the matter was finalized, Count Silvio left happily.

The earl, who has been immersed in the business world for many years, has vicious eyes. He can see that it may be difficult to impress Anthony with wealth and power.It's better to start from the human relationship, as long as they get to know each other well, things will be easy to talk about in the future.Even if the Hilton family still couldn't be recruited in the end, as a friend, if he needed help, would he still have the nerve to refuse?
The rest is up to my son.If he can successfully pull a strong man like Anthony into the Hilton family, with this great achievement, he will take over as the patriarch of the Hilton family in the future, and there will be no more opposition.

Owen was smart. After listening to his father's solemn advice, he immediately adjusted his position.He asked Anthony eagerly, "Brother Anthony, where are we going next?"

The corners of Anthony's mouth curled up, feeling a little amused.The employment relationship between myself and Owen is really strange.

He didn't think too much, looked up into the distance, and said lightly, "Go home."

The boss made a speech, and the younger brothers naturally followed it.When the Earl left, he didn't take all his followers with him.When someone was running errands, Owen and his "guards" were naturally happy.

Soon, a luxurious carriage was ready to stop, and Owen and Anthony were respectfully invited to get on the carriage.

The attendants rode horses and guarded around the carriage.A group of people left Hengling City in a mighty manner, and proceeded along the official road, like the small town where Anthony's hometown is.

Not far away, Anthony saw a familiar figure through the open car window, and his face sank immediately.

"Carrot!"

Facing Anthony and the others was the examiner of his adult assessment a few months ago, the mad dog of the family patriarch, Carlot.

Could it be that the patriarch found out about his whereabouts and was about to start revenge?If this is really the case, then don't blame me for disregarding the friendship of the same family and going against each other.

Carlot heard the shout and turned his head to look.Seeing that it was Anthony, an expression of excitement immediately appeared on his face.

Why are you so excited?For you, finding me may not be a good thing.You were no match for me a few months ago, let alone now.Let me see what else you can do?
Anthony sneered secretly in his heart, and was about to capture him.Suddenly, another person appeared behind Carlot, who turned out to be Masopust, the grandson of the old housekeeper in Anthony's house.

"Master! I finally found you." Masopust shouted excitedly.

Masopus actually went with Carlot?Things don't seem to be as they imagined.

Carlot also walked forward, the excited expression on his face had disappeared, replaced by an embarrassed expression: "Master Anthony, hello."

Anthony couldn't figure out what happened for a while, so he nodded with a straight face.In terms of identity, Anthony is a member of the family, Carlot is just a servant, and Anthony is fully qualified to put on airs in front of him.

"Mathopster, what happened?" Anthony asked.

Masopust just remembered the purpose of this trip, and hurriedly said to Anthony: "Master, something serious happened at home, the patriarch and grandpa asked me to tell you, don't go back."

Anthony's face sank, did something really happen?

He waved to Masopust and said, "Don't worry, you come up and talk first."

Carlot naturally didn't have this treatment, so he could only continue to stand still in embarrassment.

As soon as Masopust got into the carriage, he immediately told the whole story.

It was a bit different from Anthony's original expectation. Although the matter was indeed related to the patriarch, the role he played this time was a friend rather than an enemy.

After Anthony's adult assessment incident last time, the patriarch worried that Anthony, who was young but had already shown a certain potential, would be detrimental to the main line of the family when he grew up in the future.Indeed planning to eradicate Anthony.

However, plans did not change quickly.What happened afterwards made the patriarch put this plan behind him.

Because he couldn't protect himself.

In the county where Bruce's main family line is located, the most powerful Franciscoli family launched an offensive against the Bruce family.

Don't look at the Bruce family being domineering and putting on airs in Anthony's hometown town.But in the county city, they can only be regarded as one of a large number of small families at the bottom.Facing the Franciscoli family, which is ten times stronger than himself in every aspect, how can they resist.In just one month, after losing a large number of manpower, he had no choice but to succumb.

After the Franciscoli family embezzled all the properties of the Bruce family in the county, they set their sights on the Anthony branch in a remote town.

Originally, the Antony offshoot, which was located in a remote place and was not considered rich, would not be placed in the eyes of the Franciscoli family.However, by chance, they knew about Anthony's existence.More importantly, this young man who just passed the adult assessment still has a little bit of potential.

Potential danger must be nipped in the bud.The big families have existed for a long time, and they all have their own sense of crisis.Although I have also heard rumors of discord between the main and branch of Bruce, but who can say clearly to what extent this "discord" is.Instead of guessing randomly, it is better to kill him directly.

So, half a month ago, Jose Sandro, the eldest son of the head of the Franciscoli family, brought people to the town.

At this time, I don't know if it was because of conscience, the patriarch Bruce suddenly made a decision that was beyond everyone's expectations: he wanted to keep Anthony!
Of course, he is also very clear that even if the strength of the Bruce family is intact, it is impossible to keep Anthony safe under the sharp claws of the Franciscoli family.But, gods be good, Anthony just happened to be out of town.The patriarch only needs to send someone to report to Anthony and let him go away.

The patriarch also knew that the two lines had deep grievances, and the people he sent might not be able to win the trust of Anthony.That's why I discussed with Anthony's old butler, and asked the old butler's grandson and Carlot to come out to find Anton.

After listening to Masopust's narration, Anthony couldn't help thinking.

Things were indeed beyond his expectations, but they sounded reasonable.But Anthony is a cautious person, and he can't just listen to Masopust's words and believe them completely.

It's not that Anthony can't trust Masopster, he knows that the grandson of the old butler is as loyal to the Anthony family as his grandfather.Moreover, he has a stubborn temper, so it is absolutely impossible for him to be coerced and lured by the patriarch.But it cannot be ruled out that their grandpa and grandson were deceived, and then they unconsciously deceived Anthony as well.

After pondering for a moment, Anthony waved to Carlot, who was still standing outside, and motioned him to get on the carriage as well.

Fortunately, the carriage prepared by Owen and the others was big enough, and it wouldn't look crowded even if four people were sitting in it.

"Why did your patriarch save me?" Anthony waited for Carlot to sit down, and asked the most critical point straight to the point.
