son-in-law of blood

Chapter 168 First confrontation!

Following the servant leading the way, Xillen arrived outside a luxurious box.

"Master Baron, this is the place, our master is waiting for you inside!"

After speaking, he bowed and saluted, and left slowly.

A stern look flashed in Xillen's eyes, and he stabilized his mind. The door in front of him was not locked, and Xillen pushed it open and walked in.

After entering the box, he was slightly surprised by the situation in front of him.

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and Helen smiled lightly, and said with a bit of sarcasm in his tone:
"It turns out that the governor has another identity called Viscount Nehemiah!"

A middle-aged man was standing with his hands behind his back in the box. Hearing Hellen's voice, he turned around slowly and said with a smile:

"Your Excellency the Baron, don't be angry. Viscount Nehemiah suddenly has something urgent to do, and he will come over as soon as he finishes handling it. Let's wait for him here first!"

Shiron shrugged, closed the door of the box, and said:
"Okay, since that's the case, shall I sit down and have a drink or two with the Governor?"

With a smile on his face, Varian replied, "I'm so happy!"

There is an arched sofa in the box, and a crystal glass table is placed in the middle of the sofa.

The two sat opposite each other on the sofa, and on the glass table in the middle were a bottle of red wine and three goblets that had already been opened.

Varian started to pour the wine first, and when the two glasses were half full, he handed one of them to Hellen, and congratulated him:

"Congratulations to Your Excellency Hillen for being promoted to Lord Tiris!"

Helen took the glass, not afraid of being poisoned by him, the two wine glasses touched each other, and replied:
"Thank you, Governor, I will do my best in the future to serve the Empire!"

After taking a sip each, the two put down their wine glasses. After a moment of silence, Varian said:

"I'm very interested in your Excellency's elimination of the Charles family who colluded with the Lich. I wonder if your Excellency can explain in detail?"

Seeing that Helen didn't make a sound, Varian went on to say:

"After all, Baron Brian has been working under me for many years, and I have never noticed that he dared to collude with the Lich. I should ask His Excellency Hellen to explain this matter in detail, so that I can be vigilant in the future."

Helen squinted her eyes halfway, pondered for a moment and replied:
"Since the governor is so interested, let me talk about it."

After a pause, Hellen began to narrate:

"The story starts with the first time I came to Kenshen City to participate in an assessment..."

After talking for more than ten minutes, Xillen fluently told Varian about the encounter with the Lich in Tiris, after a certain age.

"This trash!"

Varian couldn't help but curse after hearing this.

I don't know if he was angry that Brian failed to assassinate Shiron, or that he was in collusion with the Lich, or both.

Helen smiled and said, "Don't be angry, Governor, the matter has passed, and the Bryan family has been completely wiped out!"

Seeing Hellen's handsome face with a smile, Varian wished to smash him to pieces with his fist.

That's right, you not only wiped out the whole family, but you also took all the property of the family!

With a muffled groan in his heart, Varian smiled and said:
"That's all thanks to His Excellency Hillen's heroic loyalty!"

Helen waved his hand modestly: "These are all what I should do. It is my duty to share the worries of the governor."

"Crack!"

The wine glass in Lord Governor's hand was crushed by him.

Helen smiled indifferently, without making any statement.

The two fell into silence again, and Varian took out a tissue and slowly wiped the wine spilled from his body due to the broken glass.

"Duty!"

After a long silence, these two words popped out of Varian's throat.

Turning to stare at Hellen sitting on the sofa, a fierce cold light flashed in his eyes, his voice was suppressed, but it was still almost roaring:
"Is it also your duty as a baronial lord of the empire to secretly swallow the entire magic stone mine belonging to the empire?"

Varian's sudden low growl shook the originally very quiet box, echoing everywhere.

Helen shook the goblet in his hand disapprovingly, coughed first, the voice was not loud, but he did not hide his arrogance:

"What does the governor mean by this? Forgive me, it is really hard to understand. What is it that I secretly swallowed an entire magic stone mine belonging to the empire? Please speak clearly, the governor!"

Varian narrowed his eyes slightly, suppressed his anger, and said a few words coldly:
"Do you dare to do it or not? Who is occupying the magic stone mine under the dark forest, which is as rich as half of Kenshen City! Do you really have no idea in your heart!"

Hellen's voice was still unhurried, and he took a sip of the red wine lightly, without giving in:

"Your Excellency, I really don't understand what you are saying. If your Excellency doubts me, you can ask Insresa for a copy! At that time, if what your Excellency said is true, then he will be dismissed from office, ransacked his family, and Hieren alone will bear the burden." , no regrets!"

"Then do you dare to let me lead soldiers into your territory to investigate for myself!"

"If adults consciously enter, they can come out safely, but please feel free!"

"Hellen!"

Varian raised his hand, intending to pat the crystal desk.

But soon he calmed down, the man in front of him was not something that could be taken down by ordinary coercion and temptation, anger in vain would only fuel his arrogance in vain!
Taking a deep breath, Varian paused.

At this time, he also felt helpless and wronged.

Helplessly, in front of Mingming, he is just a small baron, he is the governor of Varian, and he has a heavy army in his hands, so he has no choice but to do anything!All because of this, the third prince Liekton stood behind him, and Benjamin, the vice president of the Erudite Guild, stood behind him!

Why didn't the grown-up who was wronged in his own family refuse to disclose this matter? He, Xilun, mined the magic stone mine privately, and concealed it without reporting it. With such a handle, why can't he be moved!Even if you care about what happened before, Bryan is already dead, so it's okay to put all the blame on him!
Varian was still puzzled. He didn't understand what was so sensitive in the dark forest. Why did he let his enemies exploit it wantonly. He didn't even dare to make a sound on his side, so he could only act secretly!

In fact, Xillen couldn't help but secretly wonder why this Varian didn't directly expose the news that there was a magic stone mine buried under the Dark Forest.

In all fairness, if Hillen could not get something, he would rather destroy it than sit back and watch his enemies get it.

Fortunately, Xieren specially took the third prince Likton to plan together at the beginning, in order to be able to find a solid backer after the incident was exposed.

Mirkwood...

Helen couldn't help but think of the weird Tauren tribe in the Dark Forest, and the magic tide that rolled up from time to time in the Dark Forest!

Could it be that there are other things in this dark forest besides the magic stone mine!

At this moment, the atmosphere in the private room seemed to freeze, the two of them remained silent, each meditating.

After a long silence, Varian let out a breath and calmed down.

In any case, the task entrusted to me by the adults has to be completed!
Glancing at Sheeren, Varian softened his tone.

"Your Excellency Hillen is also a sensible person, so I'll get straight to the point!"

Xieren leaned back slightly, smiled slightly, as if the two had never had a quarrel just now, and replied in response:

"Sir, please speak."

Although Varian's tone slowed down, there was still a trace of coldness:
"Make an offer, Mr. Hearon!"
