Chapter 297 The Lord and the Middle-aged Strong Man
After that, our group left the exhibition hall without staying much and returned to the luxuriously decorated reception room just now.
Just when Lei Xiao was sitting on the soft velvet sofa and just drank a few sips of hot tea, the door to the room suddenly rang softly.
With Lei Xiao’s permission, Kelly dragged a middle-aged strong man who exuded a good momentum and entered the room.
Looking carefully, I saw this middle-aged man, with a strong and strong body, an upright and resolute face, and wearing a decent light gray brocade robe.
The thick lines between the eyebrows reveal a bit of freedom and heroism, and look quite awe-inspiring and upright.
"Sir... sir! This is my father, and he is also the president of the Fanyin City Trade Fair!"
A crisp introduction sounded, and Kelly stepped forward and saluted Lei Xiao respectfully.
Because the time has not yet come, so under Lei Xiao’s instructions.
Kelly has not revealed the true identity of her group for the time being. She only said that her group is nobles from remote areas brought by Lin.
“My dear, Gale Phytolacca, thank you for your great help to our fellow Phytolacca tribesmen!”
Immediately afterwards, I saw a middle-aged strong man named Gale, raising his big calloused hands into fists, and said gratefully to Lei Xiao.
At this moment, Gale's mood can be said to be full of thoughts.
He already knew it through Kelly's brief introduction before entering the door.
The appearance of this indifferent young man not only made the struggle between himself and his direct lineage a perfect victory.
Furthermore, what surprised him the most was that his baby daughter, who had always been willful and unruly, could show such a respectful and polite attitude!
You must know that even when she meets the city lord, most of the time, this perverse girl only gives a perfunctory salute.
In addition, judging from his fourth-level three-star strength, in addition to this indifferent young man himself, he is also a third-level senior powerhouse.
The other followers around him have basically reached the level of the third-level peak powerhouse.
And even he couldn't see through the burliest man.
It can be seen that if he had not used some means of hiding his aura, the strength of this burly man would undoubtedly be superior to his own.
All in all, no matter what aspect you consider, the indifferent young man in front of you is definitely not an ordinary person!
Thinking of this, an imperceptible look of surprise suddenly appeared on Gale's resolute face.
“President Gale is very polite.”
On the other side, Lei Xiao stood up and politely returned the greeting. Lei Xiao smiled faintly and continued: "I just did what I could because of Lin's relationship."
“Niece Lin, thank you for coming in time this time, otherwise, the position of president of the Fanyin City branch might have really changed hands.”
First he nodded toward Lei Xiao, and then Gale smiled at Lin next to Lei Xiao.
Then he sighed softly and said: "I have also heard about the hateful group of direct descendants who made things difficult for your Kongqing Town branch during the previous family meeting.
Originally, Kelly and I had planned to pass on part of the profits of the Fanyin City branch to you to tide over the difficulties.
However, the direct line guys are really keeping a close eye on her, and this kind of thing has happened recently, so I hope niece Lin won’t be offended.”
“Uncle Gale, you are speaking harshly.”
Smiling at Gale, Lin did not show any trace of complaint on her delicate face, but waved her hand and said, "Ever since she was a child, you have taken great care of Lin.
Otherwise, as a weak branch of the family, Lin would not have achieved what she has today.
After all, you also shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting many other clan members, and you need to take the overall situation into consideration.”
“Alas, just because your father and mother died too early in the war, otherwise, this burden would not have fallen on me.”
Shaked his head helplessly, Gale first smiled bitterly, and then said gratefully to Lei Xiao: "However, now we have this young and promising young man to help us.
I believe the fate of our side clan will also change accordingly.”
"President Gale has given me the award. Since my relationship with Lin is relatively good, I will naturally do my best to help your sideline change its status within the family."
Smiling slightly, Lei Xiao took a sip of tea and said: "Therefore, there will definitely be many intersections between us in the future.
At that time, I hope President Gale will take more care of us.”
“Your Excellency is too modest. If you ever need me in the future, just let me know directly.
I don’t know how to repay you for your great kindness in providing so many auction items.” Gale smiled generously at first, then looked at Kelly aside and said, “Also, if my daughter has offended you in any way,
, please forgive me."
“President Gale doesn’t need to be seen outside.” Lei Xiao put down the tea cup in his hand and continued to smile: “Kelly has a frank and straightforward personality, which is quite lovable.”
At this point, Lei Xiao pondered for a moment and continued: "Speaking of which, regarding the whereabouts of our group, I hope that President Gale will keep it a secret and not mention it to anyone."
"Please rest assured, I know what to do." He nodded understandingly, and Gale responded immediately.
“Okay, if that’s the case, then we won’t continue to bother the president.”
With a faint smile, Lei Xiao stood up from the sofa, flexed his muscles and said, "Next, just let Kelly accompany us, before the auction starts.
I just want to take a nice stroll in Fanyin City."
There is no doubt that Nanxing Nanyue is still on her way here, and Chaoyan and Bai Wei are still outside.
Therefore, naturally we cannot stay here for a long time.
“I understand, then we’ll see you at the auction.”
Also stood up from his seat, Gale said with a smile: "Anyway, I really appreciate your help this time."
“We have a long way to go, and I hope that the collateral members of the Phytolacca family will do better and better.”
Speaking of which, under Gale's farewell, Lei Xiao and his subordinates had already walked out of the reception room.
In this way, I bid farewell to Gale and put on the cloak of illusion again. I left the Phytolacca Fair and merged into the endless stream of lively people on the street.
Of course, in order to deceive others, Kelly also performed illusions and disguises.
However, judging from the way she walked and was a little squirmy, it was obvious that she was still not used to it.
Next, after meeting up with Chao Yan and Bai Wei who were squatting on the street corner eating with their hands full of various kinds of kebabs.
Lei Xiao then ordered Lin to go outside the city to meet the upcoming Nanxing Nanyue.
Just after all this was completed, Lei Xiao just wanted to lead his subordinates to a more secluded place to rest for a while.
Amidst the flow of people coming and going at the street intersection ahead, an unexpected commotion suddenly appeared.
