After leaving the residence of the Marquis de Treville, Edmond Dantes' original concerns about gains and losses were put aside. Instead, he now felt that he was doing something good.
The Marquis is right. Your Majesty and the Nordrion family are now on opposite sides. If the situation is allowed to develop, the Nordrion family will definitely suffer disaster. Instead of doing this, it is better to inflict a major setback on them first and destroy their pride.
, if His Majesty extends an olive branch again, they will know a lot about current affairs.
Of course, they asked themselves, if Miss Agnes knew his gangster logic now, she would definitely chop him into pieces.
So Miss Agnes must be kept secret.
As for what will happen in the future, he doesn't dare to think about it.
The next night, he visited the Bowins again.
Normally, he and Bowang rarely interacted with each other, and both sides controlled the frequency of contact to avoid arousing suspicion. This time, he came to visit the next day, which really surprised Bowang.
But even so, Bowang still received the distinguished guest respectfully and took him back to the study.
"I'm here to talk to you about yesterday's plan. I have one more thing to add." Edmund didn't want to waste time and went straight to the point.
"Please tell me." Bowang cheered up immediately.
"You mentioned the Nordrion family yesterday."
When he heard this, Bowen thought that after a night of weighing and weighing, the Earl was ready to let Duke Nordrion's family go. However, he did not expect that what he heard was exactly the opposite.
"I hope you can ensure that the Duke will never get back this deposit."
"What?" In surprise, Bowang lost his composure in a rare move.
But when he saw the serious expression on the count's face, he realized that the count was definitely not joking.
Years of professionalism allowed him to gradually regain his composure. Over the past twenty years of his career, he had seen countless more bizarre things than this. In comparison, the count's overnight change of face was nothing.
"Do you want the Duke to suffer a heavy loss of money?" For the sake of caution, he simply made his words clear, "Count, I must remind you that this is a huge sum of money, more than one million."
"Yes, I just hope that you will let this huge sum of money go down the drain." Edmond Dantès said word by word, "And, not only that, I also hope that you will try your best to check the Duke's family's belongings.
We will look at the situation and see what investments they have elsewhere. If so, we will take the opportunity to attack them together and eliminate as many as we can! All in all, I hope to attack them hard."
There was no way Bo Wang had heard it wrong. Although Edmund's tone was calm, he felt a bit of murderous intent.
Why are you targeting Duke Nordrian like this? He was very confused, but he didn't dare to ask.
If he figures out the grudges involved, he might never be able to escape.
He fell into deep thought for a while, thinking about how he should deal with this unexpected development.
There is no doubt that there is no turning back. He cannot retreat or stop now. Otherwise, not only will his previous investment be in vain, but he may also be criticized by the Bonaparte family for being the leader and the rat.
Treated as a "rebellion" to be eradicated, there will be no burial place.
However, if you offend the Duke's family in this way, it will be very troublesome. After all, the Duke is an ancient and famous family. Even if it is in trouble for a while, there may not be a chance to turn around in the future. If it really makes a comeback and learns the truth, I will not be able to do it either.
Eat the good fruit.
Therefore, he must have a certificate to prove that he is only acting on orders.
After weighing the pros and cons, he spoke again. "Earl, since this is your will, I will find a way to do it. However, I have to remind you that I cannot completely understand the Duke's financial situation, nor can I let him
All my investments were in vain, so I could only do my best."
"Of course I can understand that." Edmund replied, "As long as it can cause their family to suffer a heavy blow."
"...In addition, I hope you can leave me a handwritten certificate to prove that this is your will, and I am just the executor." Bowang looked at the count, and then said solemnly, "Deal with Tangela
It's one thing to deal with you, but it's another thing to deal with the Duke. Since you have given me additional tasks, I think I can ask for additional conditions, what do you think?"
What a cunning banker... Edmund secretly sarcastic in his mind.
However, he also understood the other party's motives, which were all for self-protection.
Leaving handwriting behind was also a very dangerous move for him, but he couldn't care less about it at the moment.
"Okay, Mr. Bowang, don't worry, I take all responsibility for this."
Because he was deeply afraid that the count would regret it, Bowen immediately took a pen and paper from the desk, and Edmund took it over directly, writing down his will clearly in one breath.
After getting this handwritten letter, Bowang also breathed a sigh of relief, and his responsibilities will be much smaller next.
In the future, even if the Nordrian family members find out the truth and seek revenge, they will not be able to blame themselves.
"Count, let everything go according to our plan." With a relieved smile, he showed a pleasant smile, "Since today during the day, I have been secretly running on Tanglar Bank, but in order not to cause that
I deliberately controlled the scale because of the guy's vigilance. In addition, when I was chatting with people on the exchange, I deliberately hinted that Tanglar Bank's current financial situation was worrying. I thought that after a few days, this rumor would be spread in the market.
After fermentation, it’s time for us to show off our swords!”
"I believe you will be successful." Edmond Dantès extended his hand to Bowen and shook his hand tightly to show his confidence in the other party.
"By the way, there's one more thing." He suddenly remembered something.
"What's going on?" Bowang asked quickly.
"I've been short of money recently, and I hope I can get a little advance from you," Edmund said with some embarrassment.
"No problem, I'll prepare it for you today, and I'll have the promissory note delivered to your house tomorrow." Before he could finish speaking, Bowang agreed directly and generously.
For him, it is a good thing that this troublesome person only asks for money from him, and asking for other things will give him a headache.
Just asking the earl to leave a handwritten letter will definitely make the earl feel uncomfortable. Now is a good time to restore his image.
In addition, he did not dare to use the bank's public accounts for all the earl's funds. He used the property he had accumulated over the years. It could be said that he did not hesitate to spend money, but he believed that this investment was definitely worth the money.
Seeing that Bowang was so well-off, Edmund also breathed a sigh of relief.
"I will always remember your kindness." He bowed and said goodbye to Bowang.
Taking advantage of the darkness, he secretly left Bowang's mansion and quietly returned to his home.
The next morning, he left home again and went to a residential area in the Fifth District.
This residential area is where newly wealthy citizens gather, so there are splendidly decorated mansions everywhere, and everything is full of the atmosphere of the nouveau riche.
It was already spring time, and the gardens of these wealthy people were also blooming with colorful flowers, and the streets seemed to be filled with mixed fragrances and tiny pollen.
The pollen made Edmund feel slightly uncomfortable. He covered his nose with a handkerchief while observing the surrounding situation in the carriage carriage.
Soon after, the carriage gradually stopped, but Edmond Dantès did not get out of the carriage, but continued to sit inside and look into the distance.
Gradually, his eyes rested on one of the mansions.
This mansion, like the one next to it, is tall and magnificent, and even has Roman-style columns on the porch, giving it the arrogant aura of the emerging bourgeoisie. On the iron fence of the gate, there is a nameplate with a gorgeous
Gothic, engraved with the not-so-prominent surname "Tanglar".
It seems that this is Tanglar's home.
Edmond Dantès had already secretly found out the address before, and today was the first time he came to officially observe it on the spot.
Why on-the-spot observation?
In fact, he himself couldn't explain his state of mind.
However, on this day when he was about to take revenge on his enemies, he just wanted to run over and see with his own eyes what his enemies were like now.
Last time, he had already met Tanglar as the Count of Monte Cristo, so he did not dare to meet Tanglar again, so he could only run here and take a look at his home from a distance. Now Tanglar
I would definitely be working in an office at his bank, so he wouldn't have to worry about exposing himself.
From the outside, this is indeed a very beautiful house. Although it is a bit extravagant and high-profile, it is lively enough to reflect the comfortable life the owner now has...
And how did you get this comfortable life?
Others don't know it, but Edmond Dantès knows it very clearly now.
More than ten years ago, it was Danglars who instigated Fernand to report that he was involved in rebellion, and then received a bounty from the government. That bounty must have been the first pot of gold for him to start his business.
From this perspective, I am his "benefactor", but will he be grateful?
Of course not, he would only secretly laugh at the poor guy named Edmond Dantès, laugh at his stupid powerlessness, laugh at him that he would never know how he died until he died...
Edmond Dantès is no longer the ignorant sailor. He has traveled around the world and gained too much knowledge.
Precisely because he has extensive knowledge, he becomes more and more disappointed with human beings.
What do bad people think when they recall their mistakes?
Guilt? Self-blame?
No, not at all, they will only be complacent about their "success" and laugh at the victims and poor people.
Even if they cry and "repent" after being caught, it does not mean that they admit from the bottom of their souls that they did something wrong. They just regret that they made a mistake and were caught.
Therefore, never expect to find any conscience. If you want to seek justice, you can only rely on your own hands and thunder to achieve it!
When he thought of this, Edmond Dantès was filled with overwhelming hatred involuntarily. He held the cane in his hand so tightly that his knuckles crackled.
Yes, he paid a heavy price back then, but he is getting up now.
He is now the Count of Monte Cristo, a favorite of the Bonaparte family, and his Majesty's agent in Paris... He is many times more noble than Danglars.
Just as Tangglar and others had stepped on him into the mud, he would step back on them and return them as they were.
Danglars will be the first to bear this wrath.
Therefore, this mansion will inevitably become his trophy.
How is he going to deal with it? Should he tear it down into ruins and let all the good things in Tangglar's memory disappear from the world? Or should he live in it as a master and let Tangglar painfully see everything about himself?
Taken away?
No matter which one, they are very attractive, and they all affect Edmond Dantès's reverie.
He wished he could show Danglars everything in order to satisfy his endless desire for revenge.
At this moment, the gate slowly opened, and then a luxuriously decorated two-wheel carriage slowly drove out from the gate.
The carriage slowly accelerated, then sped towards the street, and soon passed the direction where Edmund was.
But no one noticed him sitting in the carriage.
Edmond Dantès also looked at the opposite carriage when the two carriages met.
There were two people inside, to be precise, two women, one older and one younger.
The eldest one is about thirty years old. She is very beautiful and is dressed in the most fashionable way. With a hat and hand gestures on her head, she looks like a spendthrift lady; and next to her sits a person who is probably
The little girl of seven or eight years old was also dressed very beautifully in luxurious clothes.
However, this child's expression was indifferent, and there was not much of the innocence that children of this age have.
It was just such a startling glance, and the scene disappeared in a flash. Soon, the carriage was far away from Edmond Dantès, and no one noticed that they were secretly spying on them in the distance.
It seemed that those were Tangglar's wife and daughter. When investigating Tanglar's situation, he naturally also found out about Tanglar's current family.
As a nouveau riche banker, Danglars, like Beauvin, married a girl from a declining aristocratic family in order to improve his family status, and gave birth to an only daughter.
It seemed correct, he saw them for the first time today.
Every wrongdoer has his own debtor. Although he hated Tangglar to the core, he did not lose his mind. He did not hold any hatred towards Tanglar's family.
The startling glimpse just now left a deep impression on him.
He didn't expect that Tanglar was so ugly, but his daughter was very beautiful. Sure enough, it came from her mother's inheritance, okay?
He couldn't help but think of another question. If he completely destroyed Tanglar and became the new owner of this mansion, where would the mother and daughter go?
If nothing happens, their lives will fall from heaven to hell, right?
Edmond Dantès, your revenge is so bloody and will surely harm innocent people. You must face such a price. Edmond Dantès said to himself in his heart.
But even so, you have to do it.
Because if you don't do it, you will lose the interest and courage to live.
In this way, after witnessing his future spoils, Edmond Dantès silently returned to his home with a heavy and light heart at the same time.
