Eagle’s Glory

After bidding farewell to the Count of Monte Cristo, Agnes returned to her home. \u003c/p\u003e

Out of trust in her friend, she believed what the Count of Monte Cristo said, and therefore believed that the Count was not involved in the Tanglar incident. \u003c/p\u003e

And that means she's completely clueless right now, not knowing what to do with the situation. \u003c/p\u003e

In order not to affect the perception of the outside world, her father is still keeping secrets from the family at present, so the family members around her do not know the seriousness of the situation at this time, and they are still living the happy days in the past. A greater torment came—because she couldn't confide with her family and share her mental pressure. \u003c/p\u003e

At a loss, she could only pray that God would visit her home this time. Fortunately, her father kept reassuring her that the situation was not that bad and everything could be salvaged, which finally gave her a little peace of mind. \u003c/p\u003e

In this situation, she could only choose to trust her father. \u003c/p\u003e

The days were spent in this kind of mental torment, and even though Agnes had always been mentally strong, she couldn't help feeling a little worried now. \u003c/p\u003e

In a blink of an eye, it was the day when Alice was ready to go on a long journey. \u003c/p\u003e

On this day, Agnes also packed her simple luggage, and then took a carriage to her sister's home. \u003c/p\u003e

All of a sudden, she seemed to have returned to two years ago. At that time, she also traveled with her sister and brother-in-law, and even the luggage she carried was similar. \u003c/p\u003e

But in just two years, everything seems to be changed, and she is no longer the carefree girl she used to be. \u003c/p\u003e

Maybe this is the price of growing up. As she grows older, it is impossible for her to live in her own square, after all, she has to face all the beauty and filth of this world. \u003c/p\u003e

After she came to the Marquis de Treville's mansion, Alice, who was already prepared, took her to her side. \u003c/p\u003e

"Agnes, it's really hard work for you." Alice sincerely thanked her sister, "Obviously I should take care of you, but in the end I always trouble you..."\u003c/p\u003e

"oops,

It's too outrageous for you to say such a thing, shouldn't I help you? "Agnes immediately interrupted her sister's apology, "Besides, I just happened to be a little bored in Paris recently, and it would be nice to have the opportunity to go out for a stroll... I still remember the scenery along the way, this time It would be fun to experience it again. "\u003c/p\u003e

This is Agnes's sincere words. She is in a really bad mood recently, and she really needs the magnificent scenery of nature and fresh air to heal her. \u003c/p\u003e

Since staying in Paris can't help the family, it's better to show your role in escorting your sister. \u003c/p\u003e

"Oh..." Alice could only sigh. \u003c/p\u003e

She knew in her heart that her purpose of going here was not only to bring Xia Lu to meet His Majesty, but the more important purpose was to fall on her younger sister, but she had to hide it from her at this time. \u003c/p\u003e

Compared with her younger sister's sincerity, she seemed so sneaky, which made her a bit depressed. \u003c/p\u003e

And Agnes was also depressed because of the family affairs. She didn't intend to reveal to her sister the difficult situation the family was facing now, because even if her sister knew about it, it wouldn't help, it just made her sad for no reason. \u003c/p\u003e

Therefore, although the two sisters got into the carriage hand in hand and embarked on the journey to a distant place, both of them were preoccupied and had no sense of excitement for traveling hand in hand. \u003c/p\u003e

While the Agnes sisters were talking, the Marquis de Treville also gave instructions to his son Edgar in the study. \u003c/p\u003e

The two sisters were full of worries and sorrows, but for the Treville father and son, this was the time of their high spirits. \u003c/p\u003e

Not only was the plan successfully implemented, but at the same time, they could also stand by and laugh at the unlucky Duke Nordleyn's family, and let out a sigh of relief. \u003c/p\u003e

Even though he was well-preserved, the Marquis de Treville still had an unconcealable excitement on his face at this moment. \u003c/p\u003e

"Edgar, you have worked hard this time. Your Majesty has a bad impression of you, so after seeing His Majesty, you must watch your words and be careful, and don't offend him. This is the most important thing for us."\u003c/ p\u003e

"Of course, I know." Edgar agreed wholeheartedly, "I think, after seeing us, His Majesty should think back to those old days, and his mood will be much better——"\u003c/p\u003e

There was a bit of embarrassment in his smile, "With Agnes here, it's too late for him to be happy, so how can he get angry at me?"\u003c/p\u003e

"You can't say that--" the Marquis de Treville shook his head, "Your Majesty likes Agnes, but he certainly doesn't like trouble--Princess Teresa is by his side at this time, if any trouble happens , it will only make him burnt out, and in the end he might take his anger on you."\u003c/p\u003e

Edgar looked at his father with some doubts, "Can we still control Princess Teresa's thoughts? She will definitely be angry for what we have done?"\u003c/p\u003e

Edgar had already annoyed Teresa in Greece, and now he brought Agnes to His Majesty on purpose. It is conceivable that Edgar would definitely annoy her. This is the price they must pay for their plan —So Edgar was very surprised to hear his father say that. \u003c/p\u003e

In fact, after His Majesty came before him, he would fan the flames and deliberately create a conflict between Princess Teresa and Sister Alice, deepening the conflict between them, and making Alice turn to her sister in order to protect her sister. It is their father and son's plan to stand firmly on the opposite side of Teresa and become a supporter of the next plan. \u003c/p\u003e

"We can't control Princess Teresa's thoughts, but we can make ourselves look like victims." The Marquis de Treville was confident about this, and immediately replied to his son, "We have to fan the flames and show no trace. Steer the wind quietly. The more innocent you are, the easier it is to get sympathy. Remember, put Alice in front of you, Princess Teresa's anger will make her appear unreasonable, which will make her Your Majesty has sympathy for us—as long as we have His Majesty's sympathy, then we are done!"\u003c/p\u003e

Having said that, his expression became more stern, staring at his son, and sternly ordered, "Remember, the closer we are to success, the more we cannot take it lightly. We only please His Majesty for our own prosperity. If To let His Majesty get what he wants, but we get nothing or even suffer from it, that is putting the cart before the horse!"\u003c/p\u003e

Edgar was dumbfounded when he heard that, he didn't expect his father to put such high demands on him. \u003c/p\u003e

He didn't know if he could do it, but since it was his father's order, he could only try his best to do it. \u003c/p\u003e

"Okay, Dad, I see."\u003c/p\u003e

"I've finished what I should warn you. Next, it's up to you to play, Edgar. You will face everyone alone, even if your wife is also the one you need to hide and beware of. If it is an ordinary person, you will definitely be helpless. , but you must be able to do it, I know you have such a talent! Sigh... If you are willing to devote yourself wholeheartedly to the family business..." The Marquis de Treville sighed. \u003c/p\u003e

He has said similar emotions countless times, but what can he do if his son is unwilling to change? Up to now, he can only face the reality and complain in vain. \u003c/p\u003e

Then, he gently patted his son on the shoulder, and placed all his expectations on his son, "I only expect so much from you, don't let me down, son."\u003c/p\u003e

Edgar nodded solemnly, and then he walked out of the room and returned to his and his wife's bedroom, where everything had been packed. \u003c/p\u003e

Alice, Agnes, and his daughter Xialu were all ready to go on a journey to meet their benefactor. \u003c/p\u003e

Edgar looked at the pair of sisters, but could not see much excitement before leaving from their faces. \u003c/p\u003e

As the instigator and insider of everything, of course he could understand their thoughts at the moment, so he carefully hid the joy in his heart, and then put on a dignified expression. \u003c/p\u003e

"Alice, are you ready?"\u003c/p\u003e

"Ready." Alice nodded slightly, then looked at Agnes. \u003c/p\u003e

Agnes didn't make a sound, just nodded slightly. \u003c/p\u003e

Edgar picked up his daughter Xia Lu and hugged her in his arms, then looked at Agnes gratefully. \u003c/p\u003e

"Agnes, thank you for your selfless help... I have met many people in Paris, but I have never met such a warm and lovely girl like you. You deserve all the best of God. "\u003c/p\u003e

Although this sounds like a good wish, saying it from him at this moment is nothing less than the sharpest irony. Even though Agnes didn't know the inside story, her dislike for her brother-in-law made her too lazy to talk to Ed. She was more polite, just because she didn't want to make her sister sad, so she just responded lightly. "Thank you."\u003c/p\u003e

Alice held her younger sister's hand tightly, then kissed her on the cheek, and looked expectantly at the most beautiful younger sister in her heart. "Yes, God will definitely take care of you, otherwise what else is there in this world to miss?"\u003c/p\u003e

Just like that, the family walked out of the room, got into the carriage, and then slowly left the Marquis de Treville's mansion, heading for a distant destination. \u003c/p\u003e

It will be a long journey, but with Agnes here, I think it will be smooth and safe...\u003c/p\u003e

After watching his son and daughter-in-law leave, the Marquis de Treville lowered the curtains of the study. \u003c/p\u003e

He still has too much to do, no rest and no time for sentimentality. \u003c/p\u003e

After lunch, he went to visit the Count of Monte Cristo. \u003c/p\u003e

"My son has already left with his wife and Agnes." After seeing the count, he went straight to the point. \u003c/p\u003e

Edmond Dantès was silent. \u003c/p\u003e

His face was slightly hot with shame and shame, because he participated in a conspiracy, a conspiracy that could affect and even change his friend's life. \u003c/p\u003e

However, from another perspective, since Agnes left for the time being, he can let go without any scruples. \u003c/p\u003e

The most important thing for him now was the operation to destroy the Tanglar Bank. \u003c/p\u003e

These days, while following Bowang, he has methodically used the promissory notes of the previously acquired Tanglar Bank to exchange the bank's cash, and consciously controlled the scale so that Tanglar would not find it difficult for him to pay, but enough Stretching their cash flow while Bowan spread rumors of Tanglar Bank's difficulties. \u003c/p\u003e

Slowly, the scale of exchange became larger and larger, and at the same time, because of the increasingly tight money of Tanglar Bank, the "rumors" became more and more like the real situation. Therefore, Tanglar Bank began to face doubts from the market, and what followed was a run. At this time, Bowang, who had been waiting by the side, began to show his sword. He no longer controlled the scale, but took it with all his strength. The promissory note payable to Tanglar Bank. \u003c/p\u003e

Tanglar was struggling to make ends meet. Although he could barely pay the promissory note, he often postponed the payment for various reasons, and this further confirmed the market's doubts about it—\u003c/p\u003e

Generally speaking, at this stage, the bank will enter a death spiral. The market has no hope of its viability. Everyone just wants to abandon ship and escape, and take out their own money before it goes bankrupt. However, any bank, as long as it does not have the endorsement of the state power, will find it difficult to escape from this dangerous situation. "Rumors" have become irrefutable facts. \u003c/p\u003e

At the same time, because the market became more and more pessimistic about Tanglar Bank's ability to pay, many creditors of Tanglar Bank began to sell their debts at low prices. Graal Bank, whose costs are getting lower and lower, even started to make a profit. \u003c/p\u003e

\u003c/p\u003e

It's like taking a vat of blood that erupts from the blood vessel. \u003c/p\u003e

And Edmond Dantès, like a spectator sitting in the front row, watched this sinister fight between financiers. \u003c/p\u003e

Of course, at the same time, he was also paying close attention to Tanglar's movements through the bribed Tanglar Bank staff. \u003c/p\u003e

Through the inside line, he knew that the unbearable Duke of Nordleyn had already presented Tanglar with an ultimatum-either pay his deposit quickly, or go to jail, ruined and lose everything. \u003c/p\u003e

Under such threats, Danglars assured the duke that he would raise all his capital within a week and pay off the duke's debts. \u003c/p\u003e

Bowan and Edmund Dantès combined in private, Tanglar's current remaining capital, if he took out all the remaining capital, he could still repay this debt, but if he did so, the debt That was the straw that broke the camel's back. He could no longer afford to pay his other debts. \u003c/p\u003e

In other words, he was doomed to bankruptcy. \u003c/p\u003e

"No! He must not be allowed to pay back the money of the Nordlynn family!" Upon hearing this, the Marquis of Treville was immediately shocked, "Our plan has reached this point, we must not give up halfway!"\u003c/ p\u003e

"Don't be impatient, General." Edmond Dantès looked at the Marquis calmly, "I know Tanglar, this cunning bastard will never think about the way out when he is at the end of his life, he will be in Run away before that - so, he's sure not to pay off his debt to the duke, he'll take the money and fly off and make a comeback in a different place and a different name... We'll just have to wait and see, in three days he'll have the money Run away."\u003c/p\u003e

Upon hearing this, the Marquis immediately felt relieved. \u003c/p\u003e

"Then we'll catch him again! Drain the bastard!"\u003c/p\u003e

"Hahahaha!" The two looked at each other and laughed. \u003c/p\u003e

Father, bless me! The first murderer will pay for his sins...\u003c/p\u003e

Amidst the hearty laughter, Edmond Dantès silently prayed to his father in heaven. \u003c/p\u003e
