Blackstone Code

Mr. Patu's straight spine had never been bent in Anna's memory.

He may not be a qualified father, but from a family perspective, he is actually a pretty good head of the family.

At the same time, the spirit of the Arkin family has been maintained very well. Everyone looks very upright and has a confident smile, just like a real noble.

Anna suddenly remembered something that happened when she was a child.

Her brother, who felt that he could defeat the other successors and become the next head of the family, had a fight with others when he was about thirteen or fourteen years old.

There was no losing or winning. The person he was fighting with was his classmate. The reason they were fighting was because the classmate said that the Arkin family was not a noble family of imperial counts at all, but just servants of the nobles, stealing everything that originally belonged to their masters.

They are a family of thieves.

This was simply unforgivable for the little boy who had been brainwashed by his family since he was a child. His outlook on life was crumbling. The two of them beat each other very hard, causing a lot of nosebleeds. He also had a tooth knocked out.

Mr. Pattu was very angry after this happened, but he didn't beat the idiot because of it, he just taught him a lesson.

As a result, he ran to Mr. Patu at night and asked if what the classmate said was true. Were they servants of the nobles who only killed the nobles and stole everything the nobles had?

This is also the most widely circulated malicious rumor about the Akin family in the Federation. It can be seen as a rumor spread by some people out of jealousy, envy and hatred, but it may also be true.

This is the Federation. In the past, it was a place where the Gaevra nobles exiled criminals. Many nobles who lost in political struggles were exiled here.

They no longer have everything that is important to them, and many of them have even been deprived of their aristocratic status.

They have also lost their wealth and status. They may only bring a few family members and a few loyal slaves, taking huge risks to cross the ocean to find new opportunities.

So if someone really wants to do something on the ship, or if the nobles on this island are not so generous to losers, there is a high possibility that those people will not be able to get here alive.

Moreover, among the results of the exile of the nobles, at least one-third of the nobles suffered shipwrecks and died at sea.

Half of the remaining two-thirds also died in the Federation for various reasons.

Anyone can question this and speculate with malicious intent on whether the Ajinr family's bloodline is truly pure, but only the family's beneficiaries cannot doubt it.

That night, in front of everyone, Mr. Patu hung his son up, whipped him severely with a whip, and took off his clothes.

Each whip will leave a mark on his body, and then small, needle-sized blood drops will be squeezed out from the red and swollen skin, eventually forming a blood mark.

The whipping was to deepen the impression through pain, while the stripping and hanging were to impress their mistakes on their shameful minds.

In the tradition of the nobility, there is a kind of governess and sometimes the head maid who plays the role of punisher, even if the target is a member of the nobility.

They will also ask them to take off their pants and use special tools to spank the offender's buttocks, regardless of gender.

That incident left a very deep impression on Anna. After Mr. Patu whipped his son until he fainted, he dropped the whip, looked at the others, and adjusted his clothes.

"You have the blood of the ancestors of the Akin family flowing in your body. Anyone who questions our orthodoxy is our enemy."

"Please use your brains to remember today well..."

He always maintained a noble demeanor and etiquette at all times, even when his moods fluctuated violently.

He demands himself as a noble, and he also demands it from his family.

When she saw him again, Anna suddenly no longer had that feeling of looking up to him.

She smiled slightly and sat opposite Mr. Patu, "We haven't seen each other for some years."

Mr. Patu looked at her expressionlessly, "It started when you refused to serve the family."

He still remembers that day when she rejected him in public. Even when he said he wanted to "expel" her, she didn't stop resisting.

This caused his family head's dignity to be torn to pieces by the willfulness of a little girl!

Anna said with some sarcasm, "You can't always use your strict attitude towards yourself to ask others. You can sacrifice everything for this surname, but we are not you."

The same sarcastic smile on the corner of Mr. Patu's mouth made Anna feel inexplicably unhappy. His hands naturally pressed on the armrests, "You used the blood and surname in your body to accept something that those outside would never be able to accept. Education, enjoying all the benefits they will never enjoy, but not willing to pay for it.”

"What you want is not freedom, you are just selfish."

"You cannot accept the conditions that others can accept. You have no family and no glory in your heart."

Anna's appearance is very beautiful. The more upper-class families are, the harder it is for them to give birth to ugly children. Even if they are not handsome and beautiful, most of them have normal looks.

But more of them are handsome or handsome.

Because when they select the target for breeding the next generation, they can choose the one with the best genes from a wider range.

Unlike the people at the bottom, if you can meet one, you are already thankful.

A man who was more than ten years older than Anna wanted to marry Anna. He had just ended his fourth marriage at that time.

This is their irreconcilable contradiction.

Neither of them spoke, they looked at each other, and neither of them gave in, nor could they give in.

After about twenty seconds, Anna looked into Mr. Patu's eyes and said, "I'm here this time to represent Global Communications and Mr. Lynch."

"The existence of the Sanctuary Alliance has undermined the global strategic direction of the group company, and our tolerance is not unlimited."

"You always feel that I haven't done enough for the family, so now, it should be enough."

"I will rescue you all before the family is destroyed."

Mr. Pattu regained his composure, "You didn't save anyone and you can't save anyone."

"Lynch and Global Communications are squeezing our living space. This has nothing to do with interests. He wants to be the king of this world. We are unwilling and will not admit this, let alone accept his rule. "

"If this is the purpose of your coming back today, then the purpose of your trip has been achieved and it's time to leave."

Anna didn't move. "You don't understand the power of Global Communication. It can easily destroy everything you think you are proud of and own."

"Your family, your last name, your house, your shelter, everything, will be a thing of the past."

"Your allies will take refuge and suffer greater losses because of what happened to you, and will surrender on their own initiative."

"I know you have a lot of dissatisfaction with me, but this time, I hope you can put down your ridiculous reserve and arrogance and think about this matter seriously."

"If we didn't have the same last name, I wouldn't be here at all!"

The focus in Mr. Patu's eyes disappeared for a moment, and then he took out a pipe from the drawer, stuffed tobacco into it, and said, "You are not a good lobbyist, you should let Lynch come."

There was more uncontrollable ridicule on Anna's face, "Do you still think you are still standing on the same level?"

Mr. Patu shook his head. He picked up the flamethrower and burned it for a while, then took a long puff of smoke. "No, it's just that he is a person who knows how to persuade others. Maybe his persuasion will be useful." But just a little bit.”

"There are a million people in our shelters. As long as we don't come out, what do you think he can do to us?"

"Even if you do attack us, do you think other people in the Sanctuary Alliance will allow you to do this?"

"What he has to face is a huge alliance that controls more than 30% of the total population of the Federation!"

"We are not without resistance. If he wants a war, we may not lose."

He still straightens his spine, which has never been bent.

Anna felt that this old man was a bit incomprehensible, "I thought you would keep your brain young, but the only thing that looks young is your face."

"You are still so rigid and don't know how to adapt."

She stood up as she said, "I applied to Mr. Lynch. If I can't convince you, I will destroy everything myself."

This was the first time she looked down at her biological father. In fact, her ethics and morals were collapsing——

From the beginning of life surgery!

A long life and the constant replacement of bodies will make ethics and morality become more and more shallow, at least among the upper echelons of society.

For Anna, even if she is the only one left in the world, she can quickly clone dozens or hundreds of "selves" through life surgery.

It can be a woman or a man, and they can even be given the freedom to expand their tribe and form a new family!

And all this requires is money and power.

Mr. Patu looked at his little daughter, still expressionless, "This is your purpose."

"Challenge me and the family."

Mr. Patu pursed his lips, suddenly picked up the phone, pressed the red button, "Don't let anyone in.", and then hung up.

Looking at Anna, who was a little nervous, Mr. Patu had a faint smile on his face, but this smile came and went quickly. Anna disappeared before she could distinguish it carefully, so that she doubted whether she Seeing it wrong also made her a little uneasy.

"If you do this, it will allow you..."

Anna slowly became stunned...
