Restarting the myth.

Chapter 188: Confiscated by Imperial Order
The time comes at night.

The twins crawled out of the ruins covered in dust. They were so bad at math that they wandered around in the stone maze for a long time. They finally passed the level after their magic power dissipated.

This is the consequence of not studying hard. If Wayne had not been an upright person, the high priest would have been in trouble.

The twins cleaned up the battlefield, awakened more than a dozen Moonlight Church members who were traveling with them, escorted Doreen to jail, and cleaned up the mess in the stronghold.

Wayne borrowed a piece of clothing and treated Philomena, then called the twins to take care of the high priest.

If there is anything, wait until the person wakes up. He is very busy now and has more important things to do.

As he said this, he carried Mona and Chris, one on each shoulder, and left the library.

He walked through the sewers, found the location of Lando Manor, identified himself through the magic circle, and entered the young master's private villa.

He placed the two girls in two separate bedrooms, took a shower, fixed his hair, changed into a clean shirt, and went to Auston's study.

Auston wasn't home, and neither was Megan.

It was just dinner time, so Wayne and Veronica ate their dinner in silence.

Originally, Xifei was there, but she suddenly felt unwell and had no appetite, so she left;

There were candlesticks, but Veronica pulled out the candles one by one and broke them in half in front of Wayne;
There were originally roses, but Veronica threw them out of the window along with the vase.

In short, she advised Wayne to eat his meal honestly and not think about things that didn't exist.

Wayne shrugged. It was obviously Veronica who was dishonest. She was just having a meal, but she never had any time to spare.

After dinner, Veronica hooked her finger and asked Wayne to accompany her to do some after-dinner exercises in the eldest lady’s exclusive villa.

Wayne readily agreed. Every time Veronica hooked her finger, she would give him a benefit, and he expected this time to be no exception.

Sadly, Auston went home.

"I have something important to do, so I won't play around with you any more."

Wayne put aside his heir attitude and patted Veronica on the shoulder: "Go back first, I'll play with you when I'm done."

Veronica: ()
She gritted her teeth as she watched the two social scums go to the study together. She wanted to follow them, but was blocked by Megan.

"Miss, the young master wants to discuss something very important with the old master. This concerns the future strategy of the family. Please wait a moment." Megan was so serious that no one could refuse.

Veronica felt very unwell, so she leaned over to listen and found that Megan had set up a soundproof barrier.

It’s even worse!

She clenched her fists, standing aside full of resentment, waiting for the two social scums to come out and give her an explanation.

……

In the study room.

Austin sat on the sofa playing with the ancient silver coins. He didn't know what he was thinking about, but the corners of his mouth couldn't stop rising, and he couldn't suppress it.

He endured it for a whole day, and finally it was time to laugh out loud.

On the other side, Wayne recounted what happened today: "I have already told Deputy Minister Yvette about the situation. I am sure you already know that Orb is a traitor and launched a series of attacks against the Moonlight Church."

Auston nodded and glanced at Wayne: "I know everything I need to know, but you didn't tell Yvette why Orb attacked the Moonlight Church."

Wayne frowned: "I can tell you, but you can't tell the Ministry of Magic."

"There is no need to hide it. The truth will be known once it is investigated. Even if you don't tell it, the Ministry of Magic can find it out. Those legendary wizards may not understand Orb's plan, but they know themselves and know what Orb needs." Austin said bluntly.

Thinking about it, this was indeed the truth, so Wayne had no choice but to tell the truth that Chris had divine blood.

Orb wants to seize the body of the Son of God and even uses the obelisk. His plan is huge and his ambition is not small.

Austin narrowed his eyes slightly: "Sure enough, these legendary wizards all end up the same, even the reasons for their betrayal are the same."

To put it in a positive way, he was ambitious for freedom. To put it in a negative way, he didn't want to pay after the meal and even overturned the table.

"Where is that girl? Is it the Moonlight Church base?"

"No, I brought it back to my bedroom."

"..."

Auston was silent for a while, and looked at Wayne with dissatisfaction: "God's blood is indeed precious. You have enough reasons to keep her by your side. From the perspective of the head of the family, I have no reason to blame you, but I am still Veronica's father, and I will not agree that you have a lover outside."

Just one person, who are you looking down on?
Wayne lowered his head and did not refute. It was indeed wrong for him to quit when he was ahead, but he had no choice, after all, it was his first love.

Seeing that Wayne was so well behaved, Auston became even more unhappy and snorted coldly: "Do you think that if you don't say anything, I will turn a blind eye and let you get away with it? If Veronica asks about it in the future, will you use me as a shield and say that I acquiesced?"

Seeing that Old Deng was not easy to fool, Wayne stopped pretending and glanced towards the study.

"I told you, Megan is different!"

"But you never denied that to outsiders, she was your lover."

Wayne was very curious about how Auston did it. Not only did the teacher not beat him half to death, but her attitude towards Megan was also very calm, as if she tacitly acknowledged that her husband had a lover.

There must be something behind this!

Auston was unwilling to explain the reason, but he stated his position as a father and jumped decisively into the next topic: "Aub was devoured by the void worm. This excuse... is not very good."

The legendary wizards of the Ministry of Magic are not fools. They have all entered the astral realm and know how low the possibility of encountering a star beast is. Void worms are a relatively rare species, so the possibility is even lower.

almost impossible.

Auston looked at Wayne curiously. The latter was wrapped in the legendary wizard's life field. What happened during that time? Why did Orb choose to open the door of truth when he had an absolute advantage?
How did Wayne force Orb to take this path?
If it was because of the superior strength, Orb could not win and had to do so as a last resort, Austin was somewhat skeptical.

"I didn't lie. Orb sought his own death. I don't know why he wanted to open the Door of Truth. Anyway, he was eaten by the Void Worm. The high priest of the Moonlight Church can testify to this." Wayne said aggrievedly. He had witnesses.

"Do you think the Ministry would believe a collusive confession?"

Austin waved his hand and continued, "The specific situation will be confirmed by the legendary wizard himself. If it is really a void worm, he will definitely find out."

"It's so dangerous, aren't they afraid that the Void Worms will not leave and will come directly to their door?" Wayne was surprised.

"Why did the void worm stay?"

Right.

Wayne nodded. That was true. You couldn't just sit there and wait for the opportunity to come to you after you've eaten all the bugs.

Impossible, impossible at all.

When Wayne learned that the Ministry of Magic would clear his name, he immediately stopped panicking. With both witnesses and evidence, no one could wrongly accuse him.

"The Moonlight Church has lost too many people. In order to shut the Moonlight Church up, the Ministry of Magic will definitely make concessions." Auston frowned. He could even imagine the task that the Ministry of Magic assigned to Wayne.

He had seen Philomena's photo. Let's be frank. The little trash can certainly not control himself and sacrificed his life for his country while shouting slogans for justice.

It's so annoying, this is the heir to the Landau family, not a socialite from the Ministry of Magic!

As far as the family's interests are concerned, Auston is happy to see this scene. He has a high priest and Wayne also has a high priest. If the two sides cooperate, all three families will profit.

But again, as a father, he doesn't want his daughter to suffer any injustice.

"Don't worry about the high priestess. I'm just playing with her."

Wayne sneered repeatedly, and seeing Auston's gloomy face, he explained: "It's not that kind of play, it's very simple. To be honest, I don't like this woman very much."

"Is this true? She is so beautiful."

"Auston, you understand us. Appearance is not important, what is important is the soul. Just like you and your teacher, you pursued your teacher not because she is pretty." Wayne said righteously.

"..."

"Auston, say something!"

"What? I said she was ugly, and then you told on her?"

Austin smiled contemptuously. They were just some low-level tricks, not a single one of them was presentable.

He continued, "You said you don't like that woman. I'll believe you for once. Remember your promise and don't let me down."

"Just wait and see!"

Wayne was full of confidence. Philomena was very beautiful, but she was very mean. In order to bring him back to the Moonlight Church, she not only used the beauty trap herself, but also used her status to force Chris to use the beauty trap together.

Although he was a little secretly happy, but when Chris's feelings were taken into consideration, the plan would be a disaster if pure love was mixed with conflicts of interest.

Wayne has already thought it through. He will just keep using the CPU as the high priest and wait until the other party falls in love with him to death, and then kick him away.

This is called retribution!

After saving the damsel in distress twice in a row, he felt like he had it figured out.

Wayne looked so confident that it didn't come out of nowhere, which made Auston very puzzled. He didn't ask too many questions, waiting for Wayne to prove himself in the future. He said about the arrangements made by the Ministry of Magic today: "Aub is finished. Families close to him will be closely investigated recently. The investigation team is selecting people. I have a great chance of joining the team."

Wayne's eyes lit up, he understood what Auston meant.

The Empress Dowager has issued an order to select an imperial envoy, who will soon carry out a search of the house.

This job is very lucrative!
"Auston, do you think I can do it?" Wayne asked with a shameless face. "You are not a member of the Tulip family yet, the Ministry of Magic will not consider you."

Auston shook his head and paused for a moment before saying, "But you can participate in this matter on my behalf. Just like the previous business negotiations, you will complete the task as the heir of the family."

Wayne nodded repeatedly, wishing he could rush to Orb's house and search it thoroughly, find tens of millions of taels of gold and silver, and hand over hundreds of thousands of taels to the national treasury.

"Don't be happy too soon. Orb's last name is Windsor. The minister has both sons and daughters. He will not give the most profitable task to the Landau family."

Auston saw through Wayne's heart and said, "The rewards allocated to us won't be too much. We can make some money, but it won't be a big one. Once the news is confirmed, you will complete the task."

Wayne was disappointed. It wasn't the legendary wizard's lair, but only a subsidiary family with close ties to him. Orb had already taken all the money of these poor guys, and the remaining bits and pieces were clearly for beggars.

Just a passerby, the Queen’s eating habits are so ugly.

Who says you can’t make money without oil and water?

Auston smiled but said nothing. How to make money and how to get it is a science. He would not remind Wayne and let him play freely, sum up experience and lessons and grow.

He believed in the talent of Little Trash Can and would not let himself down.

"And one more thing!"

Orb died only in the afternoon, and the Ministry of Magic held an emergency meeting. There was no rush to divide the spoils, as that was a matter for the future. The immediate priority was to give an explanation to the Moonlight Church.

At the same time, the investigation into Obu and his accomplices cannot be neglected. Only by thoroughly investigating the matter can the list of people whose properties are to be confiscated be confirmed.

Only when the Queen makes money can everyone make money.

Auston stopped Wayne from daydreaming and said seriously, "Don't leave Lundan for a while. The minister will confer honors on you as the queen. On that day, I will arrange for you to officially become the heir of the Landau family."

"So fast?"

Wayne was surprised and put on a pure face: "I thought you would drag it out for a while. After all... this is also related to Veronica, the engagement... you know what I mean."

Auston's face darkened and he waved his hand to skip the topic.

If you want him to acknowledge the engagement, it would be easier to kill him.

Therefore, an engagement is impossible. It should be delayed as long as possible. If it cannot be delayed any longer, we can discuss it later.

As for the identity of Wayne's heir, Auston had already thought about it. People outside said that Wayne was his illegitimate son. He explained it, but no one believed it, so he just used it as an excuse.

Smart people are good at deceiving themselves. Even though Austin knew it was impossible, he still used this excuse to deceive himself.

"Speaking of accomplices, I have another clue."

Wayne said: "Orb's partner, the Thousand Eyes Demon, was killed. I asked around and it wasn't the Vatican who did it. I suspect there is a traitor in the Ministry of Magic who is hiding deeper than Orb."

Auston frowned, "I see. You don't have to worry about it. The Ministry of Magic will investigate. Just wait for the news."

Wayne frowned and said, "That's too perfunctory. My life is in danger. What if that traitor finds me?"

"The situation is complicated. Everyone is trying to throw dirty water on Orb and they are all busy. No one will touch you now." Auston told Wayne to relax. Everyone was anxious to settle the accounts and they were too busy to pay attention to him.

"Are you sure?" Wayne asked doubtfully.

"Ah."

"..."

Seeing that Auston didn't care, Wayne became very dissatisfied with his father-in-law. Just as he was about to complain, he was interrupted by Auston again.

"The obelisk is gone, and Orb's ancient silver coins are also lost. These two items are the property of the Ministry of Magic. Tell me the truth, are they in your hands?" Austin looked at Wayne.

Wayne shook his head. He didn't have the ability to take the obelisk away, and he didn't even see the ancient silver coin. He didn't want to take the blame.

Megan: “…”

"That's better. These two items are very important, and the Ministry of Magic will not give up tracking them down." Austin gave an instruction and lowered his head to play with the ancient silver coin.

After Wayne got up and left the study, he took out another ancient silver coin.

The item is a bit hot, but there is no reason to turn away a treasure that I have found for free. I thought about other uses for the ancient silver coin.

Orb risked his life to remind everyone that there are many uses for ancient silver coins. Don't be bound by formalities. Be bolder and everything is possible.

Austin agreed with this and thought about the possibilities while playing with the ancient silver coin.

Bang!
With a loud bang, the glass shattered.

Auston was stunned for a moment, then his face showed ecstasy. He quickly rushed to the window, stuck his head out and showed his back teeth with joy.

"so good!"

He didn't fly today, and that's the point.

----

Time goes back to two minutes ago.

Wayne walked out of the study and just closed the door when Veronica, who was waiting for him, grabbed his collar.

He waved at Megan, but the effect was average. The housekeeper's eyes were dull, as if he was sleepwalking.

Veronica dragged Wayne to the end of the corridor, raised her fist and put it down, then raised it again as she became angrier.

She wanted to ask him in person, but her reserve and shame prevented her from speaking. She gritted her teeth and said to Wayne, "What did you two talk about? What about the future of the family? Why didn't Megan let me in?"

"This stuff is so dark and Megan is doing this for your own good."

Wayne patted Veronica's shoulder and smiled coolly: "I'm different. You know my character. It's easy for me to blend into the darkness."

Veronica's face changed and she was speechless.

"Leave it to me, you just need to be happy."

Wayne put his arm around Veronica's shoulders and hugged her when she wasn't prepared: "Believe me, you are important. Auston wants to protect you, and I want to protect you too. It's that simple."

Veronica lay in Wayne's arms, smelling the scent of the garbage of society, with very complicated thoughts.

"By the way, the identity of my family's heir will be confirmed in a few days. You must be mentally prepared. Regarding the engagement..."

Bang!
Wayne broke out of the window, shattered the window behind him, and flew far away.

The man touched his chin in mid-air and continued, "The engagement has not been finalized yet. I know you are anxious, but don't worry, because I am not anxious at all."

Veronica looked in the direction of the grove angrily, passed by the door of the study, noticed Megan's sympathetic look, and snorted again.

What is there to sympathize with? If she doesn't nod, the engagement will never be valid and that social scum will never be able to touch her in this life.

……

As for Wayne, he covered his face and returned to the young master's private villa.

The swelling hasn't gone down, but it's useful to keep it. I'll be miserable at breakfast tomorrow.

"You're so quick. I wanted to tell you that the senior you admire is lying in my bedroom..."

Veronica was still irritable tonight, so Wayne decided to leave her alone for a few days. He opened the room where Mona was and saw that she was still asleep, so he went next door to check on Chris.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw my senior schoolmate sitting by the bed. Her eyes were cold and ruthless.

Hearing the door open, Chris woke up, came to his side carefully, and asked with concern: "Wayne, what's the matter with the wound on your face?"

"I got hit accidentally when I was saving you. It's a minor injury. The swelling will go away tomorrow." Wayne said this briefly, telling Chris not to take it to heart.

You're lying, it was obviously Veronica who beat him!
Chris knew the truth and respected Wayne's lie.

Just think about it, Wayne fought hard to save her, it was a miracle that he survived, he must have been beaten a lot.

This is the truth!
She raised her hand and stroked Wayne's cheek, her fingertips spreading the moonlight, reducing swelling and bruises, and said gently, "Does it still hurt?"

"A little more. I have a simple remedy that works immediately." Wayne pointed to his face and whispered to Chris.

Chris nodded with a blushing face, then stood on tiptoe and kissed Wayne on the face.

"Does it still hurt?"

"It's moved, and my mouth is starting to hurt."

Chris smiled and touched Wayne's mouth with her lips slightly opened.

"now what?"

"..."

No way, senior sister, are you serious?
Wayne pursed his lips, savoring the lingering fragrance. Seeing that Chris lowered her head and did not move, he got carried away and pressed her against the wall.

Lower your head, raise your hands, and sweep...
