MTL - Orc Predator-~ ☆Chapter Negotiation
Nasir was talking about getting up, when his stomach suddenly growled twice, his face flushed suddenly, and he smiled embarrassedly at the two people in the room.
"Go and eat something." Old Drummond said with a soft expression on his face, patting his youngest son on the head. Nasir responded cheerfully, turned and went out, and when he reached the door, he suddenly slapped his forehead as if remembering something, took out a note from his pocket and handed it to his father.
"That beautiful natural female asked me to give it to you. I almost forgot." Nasir stuffed the note into Old Drummond's hand, and ran away.
The younger son's back disappeared, and Old Drummond's face immediately became solemn. He glanced lightly at Mike, who was still beside him, and the latter understood, nodded slightly and walked out of the room. The clan head sat down on the sofa again, opened the note, glanced at the handwriting on it seemingly casually, and then fell into deep thought. After a few minutes, he sighed and closed his eyes.
Due to a nightmarish swarm of half-witted beasts, the building was severely damaged. Both Cedric and Joe went to help with the repairs, and only Les and Ah Liu sat on the grass with nothing to do, basking in the sun, very leisurely.
Ah Liu stared at the land. This place is not far from the place where the first wave of half-wisdom beasts attacked. There are still many half-wisdom footprints nearby. Where they stepped on, there seems to be traces left on the brown ground. A few hints of pale green. The black-haired non-orc got up and walked over curiously, picked up some soil with his fingers and looked carefully, and saw that there was indeed some light green powder mixed in the sand, took it to his nose and smelled it, and there was a faint scent of grass and trees. Seems familiar.
"Don't inhale too much ghost grass powder." Les's unhurried voice came from behind, "There will be side effects."
"Side effects?" Ah Liu repeated, looking back at the purple-haired non-orc who was still basking leisurely in the sun, the latter stretched lazily and yawned: "It's not a big deal, just get excited for a while before Weak for a while."
"You..." There was a flash of surprise in Ah Liu's eyes, although his voice was calm, there was a flash of surprise in his eyes. He remembered the last time when Les hunted the tyrannosaurus, he left suddenly for a while, and after returning, he had this grassy scent on his body.
"Of course, otherwise, even if there are half-wisdom species, it would be impossible to pass through the defenses of the Yan clan so easily." The corner of Rice's mouth curled up into an inexplicable smile, "We won't be able to rescue all the captured females so easily. "
"It's too nonsense." Ah Liu sat down on the grass again and said lightly.
"How?" Les was very dissatisfied with the evaluation of the black-haired non-orc, and retorted: "Mike didn't notice the trend of the semi-intelligent beast tide because of his lax guard. I just took advantage of the opportunity. If we didn't intervene, The Yan Clan will definitely suffer heavy losses, but right now there are no casualties? The only thing that surprised me is that Mike's combat power is really rubbish, so that things are much smoother than I imagined." He said, and turned to Ah Liu Blinking, smiling.
Ah Liu was speechless.
"I saved the heart and soul of the patriarch Drummond this time. Although I asked someone to help me take the note that I don't need him to thank, but...you guess why the face-saving old Drummond came back to us?" Rice Bored, he put a blade of grass in his mouth and asked casually.
Ah Liu hesitated for a moment, opened his mouth and was about to answer, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a figure not far away who was obviously hesitating but was walking towards this side. It looked like a middle-aged orc.
"This is the second thing that I didn't expect. It happened so soon." Les sat up straight and spit out the blades of grass in his mouth. , although still has a casual expression, but people dare not underestimate it.
"Lesront?" Old Drummond walked to the grass, quickly turned his eyes around the two, and fixed on the purple-haired non-orc. Although it was a question sentence, his tone was firm. In all fairness, regardless of his status as the heir of the Longte clan, the daughter-in-law in front of him is quite satisfactory, she is beautiful and smart, and it will save Joe's troubles in the future.
"You're welcome, Patriarch Drummond." Rice replied with a smile.
Old Drummond nodded and said, "You have helped me a lot, and I always feel sorry for not coming to thank you in person."
"How come? You are an elder after all." Rice continued to smile, waiting for the other party to get to the point first.
Old Drummond frowned slightly, but he couldn't bear it anymore. After a few seconds of silence, he said, "Lesronte, with all due respect, I hope you can cancel the guardian contract with Joe Drummond."
"I'm afraid it won't work." Rice still smiled, but replied without hesitation: "In fact, I'm considering formally signing a partnership contract with him recently."
As soon as he finished speaking, the corner of the old Drummond's eyes twitched suddenly. The middle-aged orc was silent for a while, sighed, and said again: "If he concludes a partnership contract with you and changes his surname to Longte, he will completely lose his qualifications as the heir of the clan."
"As far as I know, hasn't he already been expelled from the clan?" Les smiled and pointed at the vital point. Ah Liu silently glanced at the expression of the middle-aged orc, and quietly moved a few steps closer to the purple-haired non-orc to prevent him All of a sudden.
"If you separate, I can restore his status as heir." Old Drummond frowned even tighter, and there was a hint of anger in his voice.
"Of course it's impossible." Les ignored the already very ugly face of the middle-aged orc, and continued: "If you are worried that Mr. McDrummond will make another mistake and think that he is not good enough to take on important responsibilities, please rest assured. We are very happy to come to support in case of any accident. However, if the emergency missed the best time, please forgive me.”
"Bang!" Old Drummond couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and smashed the trunk of a small tree next to him with a slap. The two natural females on the opposite side were not frightened by this move, and their expressions remained unchanged, but Ah Liu's left hand, which was hanging beside his body, quietly moved to the handle of the knife.
"Oh, you're angry." Les said lightly, then pretended to ponder for a while, and then said again: "After all, he is Joe's father. If this is the case, how about we each take a step back?"
"Take a step back?" Old Drummond finally suppressed his anger and asked back.
"After the partnership contract is concluded, Joe can have the surnames of our two clans at the same time." Rice finally stated his purpose, with a tricky smile on his face: "This will neither affect him as the heir of the J clan, nor affect him. Does not affect the rules of the Longte clan. However, of course my family's surname must come first. I mean, he will change his name to Joe Longte Drummond."
