Blackstone Code

Mr. Pattu did not know that his life and that of his family had been saved because of his outstanding work.

He was talking to his wife about it.

"Tomorrow morning, you take your children to find Anna and stay with her. She will arrange a place for you. You also need to ask her for her advice on future life matters."

His wife looked at him, her hand still clutching his.

Despite his macho attitude over the years since their marriage, Mr. Pattu was rarely gentle with her.

But she could feel the suppressed love, as if at this time, she was the first person to know that she had been properly arranged.

He did not ask himself to be with him for some reason, but entrusted himself to Anna.

She always felt that Mr. Pattu just didn't know and couldn't express his inner feelings.

After all, he is the head of the Akinel family. If he acts too...warm, enemies within the family and enemies outside the family will come over and give him a knife.

He must show a tough, inhumane coldness, so that the enemies will restrain themselves and prevent Mr. Pattu from discovering them.

But she knew he was a good man.

This can be seen from the fact that he has only had one wife in his life, and has never even had a stable mistress. This is actually very difficult to achieve in the upper class - not counting those women who play tricks on the occasion.

"I don't want to go anywhere." She is older and does not look as good-looking as when she was young, but the power she exudes makes people feel powerful.

Mr. Patu's expression changed slightly. His lip line trembled but remained tense. "There's no point in you staying."

"You are worthless if you cannot bring more glory and glory to his victory."

The woman sat closer and cuddled against him, "I know, but I don't want to leave. If you have to face something, then we will face it together."

Mr. Patu held her hand, his expression still so serious. He was used to this expression, and it was engraved in his genes like instinct.

His voice slowed down a bit, "Don't make unnecessary sacrifices. Anna will respect you. You have to think about whether she will deal with her brothers and sisters without you."

Although there were not many people in the past, and they were not elites on the surface, but they were mostly members of the clan.

Anna's "purification and leaving home" caused a big fuss within the family. Even though each of them received an elite education, as a federal citizen, in a country that pursues independent personal and spiritual and physical freedoms, grow up.

It is impossible for them not to be poisoned by those mainstream ideas. Well, it may not be accurate to say that. It should be said that they are influenced by mainstream ideas.

But soon they succumbed to the authority of the family because they couldn't stand the kind of life where they lost wealth, lost influence, had no family care, and even were targeted.

They cannot find the kind of Rich or Hitch who can provide them with a decent job, and they can only continue to obey the family's instructions.

Do something they don't want to do, marry someone, or marry someone they don't like at all.

This is the price. They enjoy the glory, wealth, status, and prestige that their family brings them, and everything they do has to pay a price!

When a group of humble people who are free in spirit but imprisoned in body, who tried but lost to themselves, face the one and only brave person.

They will not praise this person, nor will they feel that this person is the direction of their efforts in this life.

They will only think that this person is an alien!

They always talk about Anna in public to destroy family unity, harm family interests, and backstab family trust. This is a kind of "political correctness". There is a big difference between saying it and not saying it.

In addition, Mr. Patu has always kept a straight face over the years, making it difficult for people to guess what he is thinking and his strict management measures.

Everyone must show that they set boundaries with Anna and criticize her severely. Only in this way can they prove that they are not in the same group and that these people and the family are of the same mind.

Otherwise, if a traitor appears, not only do you not hate her, but you think she is an idol, which means you are all traitors at heart!

Regardless of whether Anna knew the actual situation or not, from a personal perspective, she would definitely not give these people a good look.

Mr. Pattu had good reasons for asking Anna's mother to restrain her.

But the woman didn't care about this at all at this time, "When we are all dead, whoever is willing to take care of this matter will take care of it. I just want to be with you."

"You always say that I am stupid. I am indeed quite stupid. I don't even know how to survive without you."

"I have listened to your arrangements all my life. Can you let me make the decision this time?"

Mr. Patu stared at her for a long time before sighing heavily, "This is not an outing."

But the woman didn't care at all, "Even if I go to hell!"

Just when both of them were determined to die together, the ringing of the phone suddenly destroyed the touching atmosphere. Mr. Patu broke away from his wife's hand and walked to the phone and stood there for two seconds.

There were some fluctuations in his mood, and he needed to calm down completely again. Only in this way could he be the "impeccable Mr. Patu."

"This is..., I am Patu."

"I, Anna, have good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

Mr. Patu hesitated, and like ordinary people, chose to hear the bad news first.

"The bad news is that you will lose your status in the family. You are no longer the head of the Akinel family."

Mr. Patu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. This was actually not bad news. "We agreed before that you will be the new head of the family."

"So what's the good news?"

There was silence for a few seconds on the other side of the receiver, and then a very soft voice came out, "You don't have to die."

Mr. Patu couldn't believe what he heard. "If you want to change your plan, I advise you not to do this. Do you remember your first lesson?"

"The honor of the family is higher than anything else, even our own lives."

Anna was annoyed when she heard this, "I will modify these things myself after I become the head of the family!"

"In addition, you don't have to worry about your ideas not being realized. Mr. Lynch thinks that your early work was too good, so that even if he targets you now, it will not be able to cause greater force deterrence to the Sanctuary Alliance."

"So you don't have to die, they chose other, larger shelters."

Mr. Patu suddenly became a little impatient, "Then will your becoming a shareholder be affected?"

Anna didn't know what to say when she heard this. Maybe this was the father she knew who was full of family glory and family interests.

He never said "I love you" to any family member, only telling them "you have to do this to benefit the family."

Even at this moment, his first thought was not that he would survive, but whether she could become a shareholder as planned.

She didn't even know what to say to this little old man!

After keeping her silent for a while, she said, "I am already a shareholder of the company, holding five ten thousandths of the shares. I sit on the stage at the shareholders' meeting and the fourth seat from the right on the board of directors."

After hearing this, Mr. Patu really smiled, "Very good, very good, unimaginably good!"

"I'm proud of you, Anna."

Anna even felt a little nauseous when she heard this, and she didn't feel at all what she expected or was happy about.

"You can arrange for me to become the head of the family as soon as possible, which is the best reward for me. Of course, you still have a job to do before that."

"After they destroyed the alliance's shelter, you stood up immediately and expressed your willingness to accept GSM's management."

"Then take the initiative to send people to join the civilian rescue team to rescue those ordinary people who are trapped."

Mr. Patu kept all these things in mind, "It's not a problem at all. I'll make preparations right away. Is there anything else?"

"By the way, your mother is here. Do you want to talk to her?"

Anna hesitated for a moment. The last performance was very intense, so she didn't actually have a chance to say anything to her mother.

She also wanted to explain, so she agreed.

Mr. Patu handed the receiver to his wife, kissed her on the cheek, and left in a hurry.

After answering the phone, the old woman smiled and said, "He is very grateful to you, Anna."

Anna almost laughed out loud, "It's best that he thinks so too..."

The mother and daughter talked about some common things, and the old woman also asked Anna if she had any plans to get married or have children.

As an experienced person, she warned Anna that she must have a clear heir to avoid being targeted by other branches of the family.

As the family grows, there will be many problems.

If Anna doesn't have a clear heir, they will have ideas, use their brains, and even do things to hurt her.

But this problem is not easy to solve.

She has no regard for other ordinary men for the time being, and has no plans to have children for them. Maybe she will do an in vitro fertilization.

This technology is now very mature.

The results of Mr. Patu's referendum on the refuge have actually come out. Even if he didn't promote it much and just played the propaganda content of the alliance, more than 70% of the people expressed their willingness to be independent.

Logically speaking, he can announce the results to the outside world, but now he doesn't want to announce them because he doesn't want to grab the first place this time!

The next morning, as the first private shelter announced the results of the referendum, it passed the independence referendum with a huge margin, announcing the beginning of its formal separation from the management of the federal government.

A large number of private shelters quickly followed suit and passed the independence referendum with relatively high votes.

For a time, even the people in the official shelter were emotionally turbulent.

Just when everyone thought the dust had settled, Global Communications Group Vice President Connor suddenly pointed out that these referendum processes and results were illegal...
