Chapter 434
The only person who is really in charge of the Matou family is his father, who has lived for five hundred years.
——Matou Zangyan.
Of course, although he was said to be his father, Matou Tsuruno, who knew his true nature, understood that that guy was undoubtedly a devil.
A device with a green vial in it was spraying out some faint green fluorescence every once in a while.
"Father, there seemed to be movement from the insect warehouse last night..."
Glancing cautiously at the skinny old man sitting on the seat, he asked tentatively.
"What happened to the heir sent by the Tohsaka family..."
Boom!
Before he finished speaking, the sound of the end of the crutch hitting the floor made Matou Hezhi's head startle.
It was as if what was struck by the crutch was not the floor of his home, but his heart.
"Does the heir sent by the Tosaka family have anything to do with you, Tsuruno?"
"Since when did a loser who is not even qualified to enter the magic path start to care about magic?"
He cast his playful eyes on the frightened Matou Heye, making him afraid to even express his anger.
Under the extreme emotional tension, he seemed to hear the crawling sound of the swarm of insects - of course, he knew that this was his illusion.
In fact, if I really talk about it, my home today feels much cleaner than usual...
But he didn't dare to say this clearly.
Fortunately, the skeleton-shaped old man in front of him didn't pay too much attention to this.
"But forget it, let's not pursue this point for today."
The old man's words made the nervous Matou Tsuruno relax... Maybe it was the daughter sent by the Tohsaka family that made him feel better?
Matou Hezhizhi speculated so.
At this moment, the old man in front of him clapped his hands.
"come in."
As his voice fell, the door was pushed open.
Under Matou Tsuruno's astonished eyes, a young man who looked quite young walked in pulling a girl of about seven or eight years old.
"This girl is the descendant of a friend of mine. Because the family declined and she was the only one left, she was sent to the Matou family."
friend? you?
After confirming that he had no auditory hallucinations, or that the old man in front of him was not playing fun with him, for a moment, Matou Heye's expression became very exciting.
Come to think of it, if the old man in front of him hadn't been accumulating authority in his heart for a long time, he would have wanted to rush up to him, pick up his collar, spit on his face, and ask him: "Does a person like you deserve friends?"
That little girl was not so much sent by the other party as that she was kidnapped, which convinced Matou Heye.
Of course, for the sake of his own life, all of the above can only exist in his imagination.
But no matter what, there is something abnormal about Matou Zouken today...
"It seems like you have some different opinions, Tsuruno."
"No! No, Father, absolutely not!"
Shaking his head desperately in the negative, for fear of answering late and incurring dissatisfaction from the other party.
And his obedient attitude also made the old man opposite let out a scalp-numbing laughter.
"Hehehe, it would be better if I didn't."
The pupils that were not like humans looked at Matou Heye, and then continued.
"In short, from today on, she and the other person are honored guests of the Matou family. If you have any requests, please try to satisfy them... Do you understand what I'm saying, Tsuruno?"
"yes!"
After responding, Matou Tsuruno paused and asked in a low voice: "Then the heir sent by the Tosaka family should be treated as before..."
But before he finished speaking, he was met with a cold gaze.
"He Ye, are you teaching me how to do something?"
"No, I don't dare!" A cold feeling surged from his spinal cord instantly.
"Okay, come on down, I've seen enough of your disgusting face."
As the old man on the main seat waved his hand impatiently, Matou Tsuruno left as if he had been granted amnesty.
At the same time, he probably also had some guesses about the various abnormal behaviors of Matou Zangyan since he came up from the insect warehouse...
But so what?
To put it bluntly, no matter whether his guess is true or false, he has no ability to resist...and no intention to resist.
At least the bugs in his house were gone, so he could feel more at ease.
No longer thinking about these trivial things, Matou Heye speeded up his departure.
"By the way, there's one more thing -"
Just as Matou Heye opened the door and left, the old man's hoarse voice once again made him feel cold to the bone.
Fortunately, the other person stopped him this time not to silence him... but to point to a thick stack of books on the coffee table with his crutch.
"This is..."Dark Knight Kallia"? That novel that Kariya wrote before?"
"That's right." The old man opposite nodded and let out a scary laugh.
"Take this to the publishing house and publish it under your brother's name."
"?"
ah?
Then Matou Heye's expression became more complicated.
He opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just struggled to lift a thick pile of novels written by his good brother when he was a sophomore in middle school on the ground, and then left quickly.
And after he left, Kiara, who had been standing aside since just now, also sat casually next to him.
And he poked the withered old face of "Matō Zōyan" with his little finger.
"It feels so ugly like this...it hurts!"
Boom!
Lin Qiao, who was standing behind her, hit her on the small of the head with an iron fist.
"Stop being so verbose, do you think I want to mimic this?"
He rolled his eyes at Kiara, and then rubbed her little head vigorously like a revenge, making the girl's hair a little messy.
As for the "Matou Zang Inkstone" originally on the seat, it dissolved into a pool of slime and integrated into Lin Qiao's body.
——He does not intend to take the route of grabbing a wave and leaving.
Although it's not impossible, it's too wasteful...
After all, this is a family of magic that has been inherited since BC. In order to maximize the utilization of resources, Lin Qiao decided to simply play the game of occupying the magpie's nest.
As for whether Matou Zangyan himself would have any objections... If so, he could come over and talk to Lin Qiao in person.
Of course, in order to avoid this guy's sneak attack, Lin Qiao still made an autonomous robot out of an insecticide bottle.
It sprays clouds and mist in the Matou residence 24 hours a day. The ingredients in it are not harmful to humans and other creatures. At most, they are a bit choking, but to insects, it is as poisonous as Hydra.
——As long as the old bug dares to get close, just wait for it to be poisoned!
"But won't this let the person just now see it?"
Ignoring the big hands that ruffled his hair, Kiara tilted his head and looked at Lin Qiao.
Chapter 556 The girl who cannot return home
Will Matou Tsuruno find out?
"That may be true, but it doesn't matter."
Sitting on the sofa, he touched Kiara's warm little head.
The latter tilted his body to the side in a very cooperative manner, lay down and rested on his lap.
I have to say that it's good to have restored my relationship... The feeling brought by Pan Loli is completely different from what I could compare to when I had no feelings before.
"Isn't it important that your identity is discovered?"
"Yes, it can even be said to be dispensable."
After all, Matou Tsuruno is not the kind of person with firm beliefs.
On the contrary, having lived under the high-pressure rule of Matou Zouken since he was a child, this young and promising entrepreneur has an extremely greedy and fearful personality.
.....Not to mention that his relationship with Matou Zouken was not good enough to resist him.
"Of course, the more important thing is actually strength... rather, this is the most fundamental reason."
Matou Tsuruno, who was not even qualified to step into the magic path, could not resist the magician who could defeat Matou Zouken.
Although I don’t know what happened in the insect warehouse, no matter whether Matou Zangyan is someone else pretending to be someone else, his words are enough to make him irrecoverable.
Matou Zangyan didn't mind teaching his eldest son an unforgettable lesson as long as he didn't take his life.
And the magician whose true identity is revealed will most likely become angry and choose to silence him.
——Matong Heye himself knew this very well.
He is not stupid. Rather, in this era of economic bubble, he can still manage the Matou family's business in an orderly manner, which already shows the problem.
Therefore, even if some clues were discovered, Matou Heye would probably remain silent and pretend that he had not discovered them given his wild temperament.
Anyway, the other party's goal is just the Matou family's magic. It has nothing to do with him having no magic talent... At most, it's just a big deal and more money.
This is perfectly acceptable to him.
We can even look forward to waiting for the magician pretending to be Matou Zouken to complete his purpose and leave, so that he can become the actual head of the Matou family.
Even if he says he won't leave, it doesn't matter. He just continues to live the same life as before... As long as the other party doesn't kill him and his son.
"So you understand, no matter whether I am a fake or not, Matou Tsuruno will not resist. What's more, even if he chooses to resist, I have plenty of ways to deal with him."
"Well, I probably understand..."
The young girl nodded in understanding.
He reached out and smoothed his long hair that was messed up by Lin Qiao. Although he didn't fully understand it, he felt... as if he was about to grow a brain?
"But, is this the world of magicians..."
Kiara's amber-colored pupils looked at where Matou Tsuruno was before, and muttered a few words in a low voice.
Lin Qiao comforted the girl with some affection: "Don't you like it very much?"
"Hmm..." After hesitating for a moment, he nodded slightly.
"I feel so pitiful for Sakura."
Although the whole thing has only passed one night, Lin Qiao has already told her what happened to Sekima Tongying.
She had also seen the insect warehouse... although Lin Qiao had already gotten rid of all the insects in it long before that.
But the massive amount of coke that accumulated several meters high and almost filled the entire worm pit could still make Kiara imagine the hell-like scene before that.
"Are there many magicians like the Matou family?" he asked in a light and soft voice.
"It's not so much that this is the norm among magicians."
It is true that most magicians cannot achieve the level of Matou Zouken...but please note that it is because you can't do it, not because you don't want to do it.
In other words, what limits them is technical issues, not moral bottom lines.
It is worth mentioning that in such a group, although Tohsaka Tokiomi is criticized in many aspects, he can be regarded as a rare good person.
At least compared to most people who regard their children as props for inheritance, or even more simply as living sacrifices that may be used in the process of exploring the roots, he can really be called a good father...
