The thing is simple to say. Pamela became famous at a young age and has been sponsored by many people.
He didn't want this sponsorship because his family was not short of money and could at least be considered a small fortune.
But it's not enough to refuse. Both the school and the awakened management department hope that he can accept it and not provoke conflicts and confrontations.
That's how he met Patrice's grandfather, and the two got along pretty well afterwards.
Qu Jianlei had no intention of paying attention to these gossips. He just asked, "What happened to the Marquis's daughter? It is her turn to consider her opinions?"
You have four supreme beings, do you need to care about the feelings of an A-level person?
As soon as he said this, the three supreme expressions on the opposite side were a little embarrassed.
After a while, Pamela replied in a deep voice, "She is the third heir... The old Marquis is about to die."
Not only the Marquis of Plato is about to die, but the first and second in line of succession are also about to die.
Let's put it this way, the old Marquis's life span is about to reach 300, and he has killed countless successors.
The current No. 1 and No. 2 are both born to later wives, and they will soon go to the 150th.
He also has some younger sons, but their cultivation qualifications are mediocre and they are far behind in the ranking.
Seriously, although Patrice is young, she is talented and smart. She has already advanced to A level, so she is the third in line to succeed.
The fourth and fifth places are those of the grandsons and great-grandsons, among whom there is also a grandson who is also the highest.
However, imperial conquest is not purely based on cultivation. This is a consensus that has been formed for a long time.
Cultivation only represents personal combat power, and a qualified noble must have sufficient ability to handle affairs.
No matter it's against an empire, an ordinary person at the bottom, or a peer in the middle, at least you can't stretch your hips, right?
In short, the situation is very favorable for Patrice, but the potential crisis is also quite serious.
Her support within the family is limited. Ultimately, her mother married too late and had no time to plan and run the business.
The fourth and fifth nephews kept an eye on her very closely and won over many people in the family.
So she could only turn to the outside for help, hoping to gain some external credit.
Even if the attack on the Duke fails, she will have conquered the outside world, and it is not impossible to establish a new branch.
Fortunately, although her mother's family is not aristocratic, it is still considered a wealthy family.
Don't worry about her mother marrying an old marquis as her stepmother. You must know that not even one in a million marquis's stepwives is qualified.
For example, this trip to the Girl's Star Territory by Paramela and others was sponsored by Patrice.
Strictly speaking, Paramela and others are not short of money. Patrice's most important sponsorship is the coordinates of several key areas.
Of course, the Supreme Court also has relevant information, but Patrice's information comes from the most core secret library of the Marquis Mansion.
Again, her mother has a weak foundation in the Marquis Palace, but she can't stand being rich, right?
Sending a lot of money around, not trying to bribe people, but just buying a few pieces of news, is not very difficult.
The news about the Marquis Mansion is still a "collector's edition", which is really not available to the general public.
If an ordinary poor family undergoes a "mutation", a supreme being may appear.
But how many generations does a Marquis Mansion have to be passed down?
The supreme inheritance will last for generations, but the Marquis Mansion will not. It has accumulated over many years, and its profound heritage does not need to be explained clearly.
The simplest example is that the opportunity that Paramela and her team gained this time was the coordinates provided by Patrice.
As for killing people and silencing them? That's just overthinking. Patrice dared to go with them, so naturally she wouldn't be afraid of this.
Seriously, Paramela and the others have to ensure that nothing happens to Patrice.
Even if there is an accident, they must provide enough evidence to prove that it was not a man-made accident.
——There is another major prerequisite, the other party must be willing to listen to their explanation.
Having said this, Paramela sighed softly, "Actually, the people who attacked us are most likely from the Marquis Mansion."
Qu Jianlei pursed his lips. In fact, he had guessed this possibility before the other party said a few words.
Hua Scorpion frowned, "Does she have any other choice now?"
She was born in a garbage star, and she was a little resentful towards people who were born with favorable conditions, so her words were a bit angry.
Qing Hu said it much more objectively, "If she can't handle the things she caused herself, how can she stop you?"
Bentley said more bluntly, "If she doesn't want to, just stay. You can record the audio and video materials to explain the problem."
Several people talked in unison, which somewhat affected the thinking of the three supreme beings.
In fact, Lusna had already had this idea. She asked aloud, "Can you leave some supplies for her?"
"That's your business," Qu Jianlei flatly refused, "The commission we received was to pick up a few people from Paramela."
He really doesn't need this kind of material, but he won't tolerate others when he shouldn't be generous.
The three supreme leaders exchanged glances. These people have really made up their minds.
Gene Vine spoke up again, "Then I'll go ask and see if she has any backup plans."
It can be seen that this Patrice is really different in their minds.
"I'll go with you," Pamela stood up, "explain clearly what you need to explain."
Seeing them leaving, Lusna snorted and shook her head disapprovingly, "Other back-up plans..."
She didn't think that the girl could have any backup plan, otherwise, she wouldn't have left a supreme leader with her this time.
Not long after, two supreme leaders came with the woman who was taking care of the wounded.
Pamela said simply, "Patrice would like to talk to a few people, is that okay?"
Qu Jianlei and his party didn't say anything. You brought everyone here, and you still said whether it's okay or not?
But in the end, Qu Jianlei raised his chin slightly and motioned for the other party to sit down.
The girl looked a little embarrassed. After sitting down, she adjusted her mood before speaking, "I have met you all, sir."
"Just say what you have to say," Hua Xiezi said. The other party was only A-level and not qualified to talk to the three supreme leaders on our side.
The girl hesitated for a moment before summoning up the courage to speak, "My people are willing to obey the adults' requests."
Qu Jianlei and others still didn't speak, just looked at her silently.
"But... I also have some questions," Patrice continued, "What price can I pay to please you adults?"
She has confirmed that the group of people who came to take over were more powerful than Paramela's group.
Qu Jianlei still remained silent, the situation developing like this... was too normal.
But Hua Xiezi shook his head and said simply, "We are here to return a favor, and I'm afraid you can't afford what we want."
Patrice pondered for a moment and asked, "Where are the divine treasures?"
Hua Scorpion smiled nonchalantly, "Did you? Or...did you really make the decision?"
Patrice looked embarrassed. The other party was absolutely right. She did not have such a heaven-defying treasure in her hand.
There may be some in the Marquis Mansion, but even if she succeeds in attacking the Duke, she won't be able to give away these things on her own initiative in the short term.
The divine treasure... Even if it is placed in the Duke's Palace, it is still a valuable treasure that can be passed down to the family. How could it be given to others?
She whispered, "There are some sacred materials in the Marquis's Mansion. If I..."
The divine information is relatively unimportant, just as Pamela can tolerate Qu Jianlei's re-engraving.
"No more," Hua Xiezi shook her head and interrupted her, "We don't accept deferred payment."
Patrice hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "How about the shares in the energy stone mine...?"
She was indeed determined. For the Marquis Mansion, this kind of mine was not as simple as hard currency.
Only by controlling the energy stone mine can we influence the energy block market and policies.
The market for energy blocks is huge, and the influence Marquis Plato can exert is actually limited, but there is a difference between having it and not having it.
If some shares are further diluted, the Marquis Palace's voice will be reduced.
This is not a question of money at all, the key is the right to speak.
She just heard that the other party had energy stones, so she gritted her teeth and decided to give him what he wanted.
However, the flower scorpion is very clear about its own needs and does not consider the right to speak at all.
She glanced at Qu Jianlei, then shook her head, "It's too troublesome to open a mine, and we're not very interested."
"This is going to be difficult," Patrice sighed in distress.
Even the energy stone mine is troublesome for the other party, let alone some of the family's lucrative industries.
However, she suddenly remembered a legendary joke.
"Some people find it troublesome to even make money on a down-to-earth basis, and just want to have endless money on their hands."
This was originally someone in the upper class circles who laughed at those second-generation ancestors who had high ambitions and low abilities, but they had to admit that such people did exist.
So, will the supreme beings who are dedicated to improving their cultivation have no time to make money?
This possibility is unlikely. Every supreme being means more than just one person. There are many people around who are willing to fawn over.
Naturally, there are some who can make money, and there are also those who climb poles to give money. Isn’t it true that my grandfather can climb the Paramela?
Therefore, it is really possible for Supreme to be short of money, and once it is short of money, it will be a big money shortfall.
She could only say tentatively, "Then I can only use money. Isn't that a bit offensive?"
It's more than just an offense! When the three Supremes of Paramela heard this, they could only look at the sky speechlessly - Are you talking about money with the Supremes?
However, Hua Scorpion's reaction was really beyond their expectations. She raised her eyebrows and asked, "How much can you offer?"
Pamela really had the urge to cover her eyes: If you are so focused on money, will your family agree?
When Patrice heard this, she took a careful look at Qu Jianlei and found that he had no reaction before tentatively answering.
"This can be discussed. If it's not enough, I can mortgage it...for example, two billion?"
She really wanted to say "mortgage family property", but when she said this, she suddenly felt a little offended - people forced you to do this?
So she simply offered a real price, then added after a moment's hesitation, "...it's negotiable."
