Even if there were a thousand or ten thousand reluctances in his heart, he had to listen to the old patriarch's words.
Of course, such "condescension" made him feel quite embarrassed.
At this moment, the Atlantis family motorcade was parked in the square in front of the Palace of Holy Light, with thirty cars lined up.
This palace was the former residence of the Lion Lord Garvar. Lin Ran had not lived here for a day after he became the Prince of Holy Light. However, this building has become a landmark of the entire Holy Light Territory.
The golden motorcade is parked here, which is very eye-catching.
After meeting Mary and learning that Lin Ran was not there, Ludiqi did not get out of the car.
His car is similar in size to a large passenger car, but the interior is more luxurious, almost like a five-star hotel reception room.
Ludiqi was wearing a golden robe, leaning on a large sofa-like seat with his eyes closed the whole time, without touching the tea in his hand.
Several subordinates nearby were careful to breathe softly, for fear of disturbing the super boss of the family.
As close confidants who have been serving Lu Diqi all year round, these subordinates all know that Lu Diqi has not been in a good mood recently, and has even been very anxious about many things.
He has been looking for Concubine Su who was lost in Blue Star, but he still has no clue. Seeing that the frequency of opening of the passage from Blue Star has increased significantly, Lu Diqi does not even know whether the other party is dead or alive, and is obviously even more unable to sit still.
Living.
He didn't know whether the relationship between him and Concubine Su was a ghost, or whether the woman who was a legend in her previous life had something that he had to get.
Little Mary didn't come down to invite Lu Diqi to come up. The two sides just met face to face. Lu Diqi was worried, and although he was polite on the surface, there was a sense of indifference that alienated people thousands of miles away.
If the other party hadn't been a prince-level figure from the Golden Family, Mary would have driven him away long ago based on her character.
As if he had slept for a while, Lu Diqi opened his eyes, looked out the window, and said, "When will that kid come back?"
"Sir, His Royal Highness Prince Holy Light has become the military general of the Sem Empire, responsible for the reconstruction of the air force and the Far North Fleet..." The subordinate on the side said: "The eldest prince Robin Sai has obtained the rank of major general.
He was transferred to the northern border of the empire to lead an army group and guard the border."
"That kid Lin Ran was so sharp that he made the succession of imperial power in the entire Sem Empire look like a nonsense. However, the most promising Helfs was captured alive by him." Lu Diqi shook his head: "
On the other hand, Robin Sai, the heir to the throne who has already been confirmed, was banished like this? It seems that Atlantis made a wise choice by not betting on this eldest prince before." Sure enough, no one, including super bosses like Lu Diqi, really thought that Robin Sai took the initiative to join the border forces.
"Just tell me when that kid comes." Lu Diqi was about to close his eyes and rest for a while. He couldn't find any news about Concubine Su recently, and he was indeed very anxious.
However, before closing his eyes, he looked out the window a few more times, and said with some curiosity: "It is really rare that so many warriors have come to seek refuge in the entire Holy Light Territory, and it is so orderly. This guy Lin Ran,
Somewhat capable."
The subordinate next to him said: "Sir, according to the information we have received, Prince Holy Light usually just hands off the boss and is not very involved in specific management details. The reason why the city is in order is because of Bloody Mary."
"It turns out to be that little girl." Lu Diqi shook his head again: "I don't know what ability that kid has that can make that girl Mary be so devoted to him."
In fact, Lu Diqi couldn't explain clearly where the vague hostility towards Lin Ran in his heart came from.
I have long passed the age where I like to be in the limelight, and I will not be nervous because of the other party's unexpected appearance. However, as soon as I mention Lin Ran's name, there will be a vague feeling in my heart.
I feel irritable and unhappy, what is going on?
It seems that you should hate him somehow?
At this time, another subordinate came over and said, "Sir, Master Tista just called to inquire about the progress of our contact with Lin Ran. I told the truth."
"Ignore him." Lu Diqi said angrily.
When he thought about his son's gloating in the conference room, he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.
For this kind of invitation to Lin Ran, it is more than enough for Tista to come over. Is there any need for me to come in person?
The subordinate then said: "The Prince of Holy Light is really proud. He actually dares to make us wait for so long. Looking at all the sovereign countries on the entire distant planet, I am afraid that not many leaders dare to show off like this in front of you."
.”
This sentence is really a bit provocative.
Although Lu Diqi was irritated, his unhappiness was not because he had waited for Lin Ran for too long. He raised his eyelids, glanced at his subordinate, and said lightly:
"We came directly to invite you. Lin Ran only found out about this news when he was in the Sam Empire. He won't be back for a while. And what are you trying to do here to stir up trouble?"
Although this tone was extremely light, it conveyed an extremely strong pressure.
Cold sweat started to flow from his hands instantly: "Sir, I made a mistake. I made a mistake."
Lu Diqi closed his eyes and said in a calm tone: "Slap your own hands and see if you can remember better next time."
"Yes, sir, I will definitely not say that next time."
This subordinate shot himself in the foot. He could only draw his bow from left to right, and kept waving at his face with both hands.
The crisp sound of slaps echoed in the golden carriage.
After more than fifty strokes, the man's mouth was bleeding, his face was red and swollen, and his facial skin was broken apart. He looked really miserable.
"Okay." Lu Diqi said without even opening his eyes: "I'm too lazy to ask who is standing behind you. It's really unskilled to make such low-level provocative remarks. Don't follow after you go back.
I'm with you."
As soon as Lu Diqi said these words, the men's clothes were soaked with cold sweat in an instant!
He immediately knelt down and said: "Sir, you have wronged me. I have followed you for so many years and I have always been loyal. There is really no one else behind me. I am only loyal to you..."
This subordinate's face was filled with injustice, and he was crying with tears and runny noses.
Lu Diqi seemed to feel a little noisy, frowned, finally opened his eyes, and glanced sideways at his subordinate.
"I gave you a chance, but you didn't want it, but I hate dishonest people the most."
Lu Diqi said, shaking his head: "Pull him out, I don't want to see him again."
Then, this prince-level figure of the Golden Family closed his eyes again in disinterest.
Indeed, Lu Diqi has no interest in anything recently due to his relationship with Concubine Su.
However, his keen perception is still there, otherwise, he would not have directly judged that this subordinate had betrayed him through the other party's provocative words.
Of course, if it had been in the past, Lu Diqi might have personally slapped him to death.
So, when the subordinate was dragged out of the car, little Mary standing on the upper floor of the palace saw a strange scene——
Several people from Atlantis dragged a companion out of the car, broke his arms and legs in the square, and beat him until he was alive. Then they stuffed the dying companion into a car and pulled him out of the city.
Seeing this scene, Mary's pretty face showed a little confusion.
What happened? While waiting to see Lin Ran arrive, Atlantis took the lead in internal strife?
Just when Mary was confused, she suddenly saw that the door of the luxury sedan had been opened, and Ludiqi in a golden robe walked out of it. Then, the prince raised his head, looked at Mary standing outside the window, and said, "I'll go up and sit."
The words were very soft, but they reached Mary's ears clearly.
The latter could also see that Lu Diqi had something on his mind, and his state seemed abnormal.
There are always rumors in the world that Lu Diqi is a very charming man and a natural leader. However, when she met this time, Mary felt that the real person was not as rumored, and she didn't know what he was thinking.
The human aura seems very dull.
After hearing this, Mary nodded and walked to the hall on the first floor of the palace.
"I just dealt with some internal family matters and made Miss Mary laugh." Ludiqi said expressionlessly.
Little Mary was a little surprised.
After all, when the other party met her for the first time, he was not so polite. That sense of indifference and alienation was definitely not staged.
"It doesn't matter," Mary said.
She was not very good at chatting, let alone reception work, but with Lin Ran away, only Mary had the final say in the Holy Light Territory.
After saying "It doesn't matter", little Mary didn't know what to say and could only stand there in silence.
"How long until Prince Holy Light arrives?" Lu Diqi asked.
"It should take another half an hour." Mary saw the sofa next to her and finally added, "Please sit down."
She is also not good at talking,
Unexpectedly, Ludiqi's first words after sitting down were: "Miss Mary, I personally invite you to join Atlantis. What do you think?"
At this moment, Mary was stunned, and the standing members of the Atlantis Guard also showed signs of astonishment!
They had no idea that Ludiqi would suddenly get out of the car and say such words to Mary.
However, Mary shook her head without hesitation, without even a slight pause: "I'm not interested."
This was completely within Lu Diqi's expectation. He smiled faintly and said, "Don't you listen to the conditions I gave?"
"I don't need any conditions." Mary said coldly: "Mr. Ludiqi, you'd better not do this."
"Whatever conditions Lin Ran offers you, I will surpass him ten times." Lu Diqi's expression did not change, and he was not unhappy at all because of the other party's outright rejection.
However, Ludiqi wanted to poach Mary. On the one hand, he was interested in her management skills. On the other hand... more importantly, Ludiqi just wanted to cause some trouble for Lin Ran.
Well, Ludiqi felt very good when he thought about the other party losing Mary, his powerful right-hand man.
