2 hours later,

Dandelion Opera House, South District of Shengdu.

In the box, Tian Yi and the other five stood on the terrace and watched the performance on the stage below.

The play is: "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai",

The background music is also Liang Zhu.

"Honestly, I was quite shocked."

Tian Yi watched the performance from below and said, "Although I'm very familiar with this story, seeing this kind of play actually gave me a sense of freshness. Is this the experience of being rich?"

Zhu Miao (standing on a children's chair) said, "I've seen quite a few plays, but this is the first time I've seen Liang Zhu."

Tian Xiaoxiao (standing on a children's chair): "I've only heard the music of Liang Zhu, but I haven't read the story yet."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately shut up to avoid spoiling the story for the child.

In this leisurely atmosphere, Tian Yi's expression changed.

He looked towards the terrace of a private room diagonally below, where a dark blue-haired boy sitting in a wheelchair was also looking at Tian Yi with a fearful and cold gaze.

Ian Lange.

Chapter 96: Expensive and Fragile

"This kid's complexion is getting worse and worse."

Lawrence also noticed Ian's malicious look: "Is he planning to attack us outside the school?"

Ryan's expression became serious: "With his family's financial resources, it is possible for him to send an assassin without leaving any evidence.

If an assassination had actually occurred—"

He glanced at the two little girls next to him, his expression growing heavier: "Then Lao Luo and I are just a burden."

He has a very clear understanding of himself.

So much so that the four people next to them couldn't help but laugh.

Ryan said: "Don't laugh, the probability of this happening is not low."

Lawrence shook his head. "If it were a month ago, they would have had a good chance of doing it, but things are different now. Lange Bank has been through a lot of turmoil this month and is now on the brink of bankruptcy."

Ryan was surprised: "Is it that serious?"

His family also had intelligence and naturally knew that Lange Bank had been under investigation this month, but they didn't know that this behemoth was on the verge of collapse.

"It was jointly enforced by the two realms."

It was Zhu Miao who spoke first. She said, "The Lange family's methods can hide from magical detection, but they can't stop Earth's technology.

Especially since accountants on Earth are very experienced in investigating tax evasion."

Lawrence nodded. "The two realms are enforcing the law. This clearly shows they're serious about it, so the nobles don't dare to protect anyone anymore."

"Are you so cowardly?"

Tian Yi was a little surprised. He always thought that the aristocracy should be tough and domineering, but he didn't expect them to be so cowardly.

Lawrence explained, "From what I understand, something major has happened within the aristocratic faction, and those dukes are overwhelmed."

"Do you know what it is?"

Tian Yi immediately entered the spectator mode.

Lawrence shook his head: "I only know that the Saintess of Chains and Steel are jointly investigating the Kalia family. During this process, the Kalia family, unusually, did not resist. They cooperated very well, even to the point of being humble.

If I hadn't heard that Kalia's assets had been seized, I would have suspected that Kalia was doomed as well."

Investigate Kalia's family?

Tian Yi's heart moved, and he vaguely guessed the reason:

—Louise Callia has rebelled.

As the pillar of the Kalia family, even the members of their family probably wouldn't believe her betrayal if she said it had nothing to do with the Kalia family.

Besides, the traitor is now dead,

The charges were confirmed, but the deterrent effect of the law was lost.

In this situation, the only option left is to admit defeat.

During the conversation, Ian below gave Tian Yi and the other four a meaningful smile.

Tian Yi immediately responded with a dignified middle finger.

Seeing this, the four people next to him also cooperated and made the same action.

Ian's face suddenly darkened and he turned back to the box.

……

……

On the 2nd floor, in the VIP box,

Seeing Ian coming back with a dark face, Constance said gloomily: "Didn't I tell you not to provoke him again?"

Ian sneered: "Brother, I'm about to die."

What I mean is, he can do anything now.

Constance frowned.

Daisy said, "There's still time. As long as your vitality hasn't run out, there's still hope."

Very positive encouragement.

But Ian's face was full of mockery: "Are you afraid that I will cause trouble for the Lange family?"

Constance: "The Lange family can no longer withstand the torment."

Ian chuckled and said nothing more.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a middle-aged man with brown hair walked in with a brown-haired boy.

Not knocking on the door was a very rude act for a noble.

But the three people in the room were not angry at all. Instead, they stood up respectfully and said, "Marquis Andre, Little Marquis Andre."

The brown-haired middle-aged man nodded slightly, and he walked directly to the main seat and sat down.

The brown-haired boy walked up to Daisy and said, "Woman, help me move the chairs to the terrace."

"……Yes."

Daisy nodded obediently, picked up her chair and walked towards the terrace.

The brown-haired middle-aged man glanced at Ian, smiled contemptuously, and said to Constance, "You should have discovered it by now, right? The destruction of the Lange family was caused by your brother."

Constance lowered his head. "Now that things have come to this, there's no point in pursuing further responsibility. The priority now should be to preserve Lange Bank. In this matter, I hope to receive financial support from Andre Bank."

The brown-haired middle-aged man didn't waste any words. He asked directly: "What price are you prepared to pay?"

Konstant whispered, "Any price."

The brown-haired middle-aged man sneered: "The Lange family owns 47% of Lange Bank, right? I want 46% of it."

Constance's expression twitched. He did not rush to refuse, but asked: "If I agree, what extent can Andre Bank do?"

"Stupid question."

The brown-haired middle-aged man sarcastically said, "It seems that the rumors are true. The eldest son of the Lange family is indeed just a name in business.

I will buy out your shares, and Lange Bank will be renamed Andre. This way, you won't have to worry about depositors running on the bank, and we will recover your debts.

Even if your Lange family goes bankrupt, you won’t be burdened with much debt, and the remaining 1% of shares will be enough for you to maintain the dignity of the Earl’s family.”

So, ultimately, it’s just about avoiding debt?

Constance was a little unwilling.

At this time, Daisy, who had returned, asked, "What about our outstanding taxes and fines? Will Andre's family also bear the cost?"

The brown-haired middle-aged man sneered: "Are you still asleep? Or do you still think Andre will help the poor?"

You mean, you won't take responsibility?

If this happens, the Lange family will be left with nothing, and even their current home will have to be mortgaged.

Daisy's expression was struggling.

Constance was also at a loss.

The brown-haired middle-aged man did not urge them. He just sat there and looked at the two little kids in front of him with interest.

The Lange family is really finished.

It would be fine if the head of the family didn't show up to discuss this kind of cooperation, but he actually let two little brats who knew nothing take charge.

Isn't this just encouraging colleagues to take advantage of others' misfortunes?

After a long silence, Constance asked humbly, "Could Marquis Andre please give us a moment? We need to discuss this matter with the head of the family."

The brown-haired middle-aged man stood up and said, "I need your answer before sunset today. No more waiting."

After saying that, he looked towards the terrace: "Asta, let's go back."

The boy outside the terrace did not respond.

The brown-haired middle-aged man was a little surprised. What kind of drama could make his son so obsessed?

Thinking of this, he walked over, but saw that his son was not looking at the stage, but looking diagonally upwards.

Following his gaze, what caught my eye were five middle fingers.

His expression immediately darkened. "Little brats from the Avery and Renatus families, where are your noble etiquette?"

Lawrence, the brat from the Renatus family, responded with a look that was 3% mockery, 3% self-righteousness, and 4% indifference: "Old man, take care of your son first. Do you know how arrogant he is? He actually threatened to bankrupt my Renatus family."

The brown-haired middle-aged man sneered: "This is not a difficult task."

Lawrence looked at him and chuckled, "So it turns out that if the top beam is crooked, the bottom beam will be crooked. If you have the guts, make my family bankrupt. I'll give you six months. If you can't do it, I'll let your son mate with a sow in public!"

Hearing this, not only did the brown-haired middle-aged man stay there,

Tian Yi, Ryan, Tian Xiaoxiao, and Zhu Miao also looked at Lawrence in surprise.

They didn't expect this person to be so vicious.

The brown-haired middle-aged man did not respond. He just gave Lawrence a look that said "wait for death" and then dragged Asta away.

Asta, still indignant, raised his middle finger at the five people upstairs and said, "I'm going to make sure you can't survive in the Holy City!"

Ryan shook his head speechlessly and asked Lawrence, "Do you have a grudge against them?"

Lawrence sneered: "This old man always wanted to form an alliance with my family, and his target was my sister."

The box was silent.

Tian Yi thought about it and confirmed, "Does this mean that the uncle just now wants to marry your sister?"

Lawrence nodded.

Ryan's eyes twitched: "A man in his forties or fifties marrying a teenager is not uncommon for nobles, but... she is the Saint of Judgment, how dare he?

Although the Andre family also has a Dharma master, this Dharma master is always at the border. Aren't they afraid that the Saint of Judgment will abuse them every day after she comes home? "

Lawrence snorted coldly: "Stop talking nonsense, how could my sister marry such a bastard?"

He is definitely a sister complex.

The four people next to him looked at him silently and said nothing.

Tian Yi asked, "Will his family get involved in your business?"

Lawrence said, "Of course he will. That old man is vindictive. We were targeted once when we rejected his marriage proposal.

Now that I've embarrassed him in public, he's definitely not going to let it go."
