Chapter 156 Austin: Damn Social Trash
Chapter 156 Austin: Damn Social Trash
"After saying so much, you should understand what I mean. How do I say it, yes or no?"
Auston played with the ancient silver coins and looked out the window at the financial city.
Wayne's eye twitched: "I think I understand, but I may have misunderstood. It's a bit unbelievable. After all, our relationship... you know."
"You didn't misunderstand me, that's exactly what I meant!"
Auston emphasized his words, snorted coldly, and added: "Don't be too happy too soon. If there is no choice, it can't be you."
"How can there be no choice? Veronica is excellent."
"She can't do that. She's too kind. She also inherited her mother's defect. Her eyesight is extremely poor."
What do you mean, I'm not kind?
Wayne was very dissatisfied with Auston's evaluation and suggested that Auston go to the villain camp to ask around. Everyone knew that he was honest and trustworthy...
Oh, the villains really don’t know.
People like the Thousand-Eyed Demon and Sebastian didn't know why they died until they died.
From this perspective, he even deceived the villain, so he is indeed not a very kind person.
But if we ignore the process and only look at the result, isn't this a kind of justice? He just didn't stand in the light to fight the monster.
Wayne was very dissatisfied with Auston's evaluation, but Auston thought his evaluation was very pertinent. He glanced at Wayne and frowned, saying, "The slate is in your hand, right?"
boom!
Thunder roared suddenly out of nowhere, making Wayne's mind go into a mess. He frowned fiercely: "The slate and other things should have been taken away by the Church of Death. They suddenly fell into madness..."
"You don't need to tell me this. You are the only one who survived, and you are the only one who is conscious. You can say whatever you want. And from what I know about you, these are definitely not true."
Austin said calmly, "I don't know how you killed a golden wizard. That's your secret. I have no interest in finding out. It doesn't matter whether the slate is in your hands or not. I have no intention of taking it away. If you say you don't have it, then you don't have it."
"..."
Buddy, do you really know the value of this slate?
Wayne remained expressionless as he analyzed what Auston said and guessed that the other party probably didn't know.
"The Ministry of Magic wanted to interview you, but I stopped them. Keep the slate and don't make any more trouble. This matter is over."
Auston continued, "As for Bruce's matter, that's all over. Don't show up in this capacity again."
Wayne broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this, wondering how the other party knew everything. If the stone tablet was told to the Free Mage League by Kerr, it was not surprising that Auston received the information. But what about Bruce? Did the Vatican have an undercover agent in the Free Mage League?
Atlee or Gunther?
You two guys with thick eyebrows and big eyes actually betrayed the Holy See and betrayed heaven!
No, it shouldn't be these two, otherwise his being a reincarnated angel would be exposed.
"Are you curious about why I know so much?"
Auston held the ancient silver coin and said directly without waiting for Wayne to deny it, "It's not that my power is too great, but that you are too ostentatious. You think you have concealed it well, but you don't know that every move you make is being seen by others."
He stared at Wayne and said, "People who do great things will never put themselves in the most dangerous situation, let alone stand in front of the stage. It's just like the Tulip Family. It's not us who monopolize all walks of life, but the royal family. Power has never been decentralized, and the royal family has always ruled this country!"
"Mr. Austin, how did I expose Bruce's identity?" Wayne wanted to know the answer and promised not to make the same mistake again next time.
"You used blood magic, which no black magician in Lundan could do. The last time the Blood Tyrant descended on Dragon Heart Island, you were there too. It's that simple."
"No evidence……"
"Once suspicion arises, the crime is established, and the evidence is not important."
Auston said: "I also stopped this matter. I said that you are Xifei's student. If you get into trouble, she will have a headache, and I don't want to give her a headache."
Is this true? We are so similar, you should be a dead ghost too!
Wayne expressed doubts. Based on Veronica's complaints and the gossip he heard outside, Auston was a typical playboy and had slept with almost all the famous socialites in London.
The dead man is just a pervert, why is he pretending to be a good husband!
At this point, Wayne no longer doubted that Auston was planning to find him as his successor. He had helped him get out of trouble twice in a row. If he was not one of them, he would be crazy to clean up his mess again and again.
However, he still couldn't figure it out.
"Mr. Austin, I still don't understand..."
"Just call me Auston. From now on, call me that in public."
"no problem."
Wayne shrugged and said bluntly, "I have improper thoughts about Veronica, you should know this. With your eyesight, you can probably see that I am a very good person in a very tactful way. Choosing me as the heir is equivalent to pushing Veronica into a fire pit. This... can you tolerate it?"
Austin: (dish)
So, if he had no choice, he wouldn't look for Wayne!
"Auston?"
"Even if I don't choose you as my successor, Veronica will jump into the fire pit." Auston said with a dark face.
"You have so much confidence in me?"
Wayne held his head high and chest out, and after receiving recognition from his father-in-law, he felt much more energetic.
"..."
Auston was silent. Referring to the successful case twenty years ago, his precious daughter would most likely, perhaps, repeat the same mistake.
When Auston was pursuing Xifei, there was a strong old man who tried to stop him in every way. He was Xifei's teacher and played the role of Auston now.
Xifei gave up the election for the saint and was deceived into marriage by social scum. The old man was almost angry to death on the spot. He returned to the headquarters of the Church of Nature and never contacted Xifei again.
At this moment, just like then, Auston became an old guy, Veronica became Healy, and Wayne became the new generation of social garbage.
Auston doesn't have confidence in Wayne, but in himself. The damn social garbage will definitely have the last laugh.
"I didn't want to find you at first, even though you look a lot like me..."
Auston skipped the unpleasant topic: "Until I confirmed that you were Bruce, I nodded reluctantly. You may have many bad things..."
As he was talking, he saw Wayne's mouth corners slightly raised, and his face was dark and long.
Asking him to say good things about Wayne is more painful than killing him!
"Auston?"
"You may have a lot of bad things, but there are even more bad things that have not been discovered!" Austin snorted and finished speaking.
Got it, you're praising me for being low-key!
Wayne shrugged and took it as a compliment.
"Pick up the documents on the table and follow me. In the next three hours, I have a speech to give and a few business partners to meet. You have to follow me throughout the whole process. You don't have to speak, but you can't leave."
Auston didn't want to stay in the same room with Wayne. Every breath he took smelled of social garbage. He felt that the air quality in London was worse than ever.
Wayne picked up the documents and followed behind.
To be honest, he only wants to do magic now and is not keen on business activities, but it is rare that the relationship has eased, and Auston's sour face is quite interesting, so he might as well be a secretary today.
In addition, having the identity of the heir of the Landau family is equivalent to finding an organization in Windsor, which will make things much easier.
Thinking of this, Wayne's heart sank. He was not from Windsor, but a spy from Frank next door.
Did Auston know?
His espionage skills are not high, and his partner Lily is not a magician, and her professional skills are limited and cannot be considered top-notch. She can be described as cannon fodder who relies on luck.
The Tulip family heir is in such an important position, it is impossible for Auston not to investigate thoroughly... Could it be that Old Deng is also an undercover agent?
Wayne's eyes widened. The Frank intelligence agency was so powerful that they had placed a spy in the Tulip family through Lao Wang next door.
This is the Queen's right-hand man!
What's next? Should the old king be arranged to change the royal bloodline as well?
……
For the next three hours, Wayne accompanied Auston throughout the whole process, with the same expressionless face as Megan, pretending to be the other's secretary.
In the lecture hall, Aston was full of passion and outlined a great blueprint, which was met with warm applause again and again.
Healy was also clapping below, giving the applause to Wayne, and smiling with particular emotion.
Wayne: What do you have to be so moved about? He pushed your daughter into the fire!
What, you are the principal offender?
That's fine.
Several social elites who had met Wayne before were extremely annoyed at this moment. Damn stinky boss, why is he pretending to be a rookie in the workplace, is it fun to fool the newcomers?
They should have guessed it long ago. The venue was occupied by either the rich or the elite, and no one could get an invitation.
Mistake number of billions, grief-stricken.
The socialites also looked at Wayne sideways, speculating about his relationship with Auston. Since they had not invested before, the effect would definitely be greatly reduced if they went now.
Mistake number of billions, grief-stricken.
After the speech, Auston left the venue amid warm applause and took Wayne into three conference rooms to interview several business partners.
The content of the discussion is not important or not, it can be made clear over the phone. The reason why they have to meet in person to communicate is just to bring Wayne along to make themselves familiar to him.
Be brave, this business meeting is a signal from Auston to the outside world that the pretty boy standing next to him is of extraordinary status.
Everyone: It can be seen that the illegitimate child is going to become an official wife!
You are worthy of being the one who has the final say in the family. The illegitimate son was made legal in front of you, and your wife was so happy that she clapped her hands.
"Auston, that was a great speech just now. Are you sure you don't want to cooperate with me?"
Two men and one woman walked over to the corridor of the conference room.
Ignoring the busty female secretary, the two men should be father and son, as their eyebrows are quite similar.
The younger one was handsome, with blond hair and blue eyes, and had a good temperament, quite like the aristocratic style of the old London Union Jack.
The older one is in good shape, a handsome middle-aged uncle, just a little bald.
He seemed to have a high social status in London. He addressed Auston by his first name and did not speak in a timid manner like other people.
"Barney, I don't remember sending you an invitation."
Auston frowned and looked at the other person, then nodded slightly to the young man who greeted him respectfully: "Owen, you have been doing very well recently and have taken away a lot of my business."
The young man named Owen bowed his head modestly and said, "It was Mr. Landau who gave up those businesses. I just picked up a ready-made one, that's all."
"Hahaha, just rob it. Auston is the elder and he won't bother with you about the change."
Barney patted his son proudly and looked at Wayne curiously: "Auston, won't you introduce me?"
"A descendant of the family."
Auston said this briefly, with no intention of taking the opportunity to promote Wayne. The time was not right yet and they had to wait a little longer.
"Youngster, he is your illegitimate son, right?"
Barney sneered, "Why, you can't find an heir, so you have to use your illegitimate child to make up the number?"
Wayne rolled his eyes. Apart from skin color, hair color, facial contours, hairstyle, clothing, aesthetic taste, and personal habits, how were he and Auston alike?
And he has an illegitimate child? Haha, you must be blind!
"He is not my illegitimate son."
Auston's face darkened. He thought that in this way, Wayne would be the perfect heir and Veronica would not have to jump into the fire pit.
"Well, not if you insist."
Barney smiled meaningfully: "After all, it is not up to you to decide whether it is or not. The royal family must give their approval..."
In Barney's opinion, Wayne and Auston were cut from the same cloth, they looked decent and righteous, but in fact they were full of evil intentions.
Hmm, the more I look at it, the more they look alike!
He would never believe that these two people are not related by blood.
"Auston, please reconsider our previous cooperation. This will benefit both of us."
"No, I have a better channel for cooperation." Auston refused directly and left with Wayne and Megan.
Wayne heard the muffled F-word behind him and was very puzzled: "Who is that old guy? Why does he have so little hair? Isn't he cold? The last time I met such an arrogant guy, he was in the newspaper the next day."
"What does the newspaper say?"
"Drunk driving, the car went straight into the River Thame, and only a wig was found at the scene."
"You must have remembered it wrongly..."
Auston said disdainfully, stopped and looked at Wayne: "I've also read the report. There was no car accident. Only a cement barrel was found at the scene. The person who died was a damn social scum!"
Wayne scratched his nose and said, "Just talk, why look in the mirror?"
Megan: (_)
It turns out that one plus one is really greater than two!
The two men spoke in a very sarcastic voice, making sure that the father and son behind them could hear them clearly. Compared to their loud plotting, Barney's whispered curses were obviously much more petty.
Auston didn't want to do this originally, he preferred to do it from behind, but somehow he was brought into the topic by Wayne.
After walking a few more steps, Megan answered Wayne's doubts: "Barney Boswell, his son Owen Boswell, Boswell is one of the Tulip families. The family's main industries are forestry and coal mining. With the rise of steam engines, the Boswell family's social influence reached its peak and began to invest in other fields. It is in competition with the Landau family."
The Boswell family can be regarded as an energy company. With the advent of the coal age, they have accumulated a lot of wealth in the past two generations. However, as the world gradually entered the electrical age, the status of coal became particularly embarrassing.
You may say that coal is not good, but it can be converted into electricity which is easy to transport and use. You may say that coal is good, but sooner or later it will be mined out.
Living off one's savings will not last long, and without transformation, there is only one way out - death.
The Boswell family's transformation did not focus on the energy sector. It refused to invest in the oil sector and made a bold move into the arms market, preparing to get a share of the pie in the world war.
Because of its late entry, all the cake in Windsor has been divided up, and currently it can only cooperate with friendly companies overseas.
The largest partner is Prussia's Burghardt-Industrie, which produces high-quality steel and has an excellent reputation. It is particularly good at manufacturing cannons and tanks.
Overseas is overseas after all and is not safe. The Boswell family wants to gain a firm foothold in Windsor and have the confidence to avoid being afraid of their partners turning against them.
To say that this family has a bad vision is that they predict that there will be a war in the future, and it will be a world war. To say that they have a good vision is that they firmly believe that oil cannot become the primary energy source in the future.
"Forestry and coal mining are the profitable businesses of the Boswell family. They have always been obsessed with magic, and there are many talented people in the family..."
Seeing that Wayne didn't care and didn't take him seriously, Auston snorted in his heart and expressed hatred: "Barney once proposed to me for his son, hoping to promote further cooperation between the two families, but I refused."
Wayne: (▔皿▔)
The Boswell family, right? He remembered it!
