Meet the principal

Celia Iain Gray, the younger sister of the current head of the Iain Gray family, has never married. She lives alone in Olmsted City. Her mansion is too low-key to look like someone from the Iain Gray family. This three-story building The three-story building was not even as big as the Sophienette family villa where Reiner lived at the seaside.

The mansion is located in the wealthy area of ​​Olmsted, where most of the people living here are businessmen who run factories, a few nobles, and one or two middle-level mages who like to socialize.

Several people were already standing at the gate. They were the servants of the Ingle family. When they saw Reiner, they immediately saluted.

"Are they all here? Please take me there."

Reiner asked. His polite way of speaking shocked the servants. They seemed to have never seen the third young master look so polite.

"Master, Master, I will take you there right now."

The leader, a middle-aged servant, said. He glanced at Claire, and then took Reiner into the mansion, passed through the hall where servants came and went, and came to the door of a nearby living room.

"Miss, please go this way."

The servant said to Claire again.

It seemed that only members of the Ingle family could come in here. Reiner nodded slightly towards Claire and watched her being led to another room by the servant before pushing the door open and entering.

There were already two people in the living room.

Reiner recognized these as his brother and sister based on his memory.

The eldest brother, Raven Iain Gray, has the trademark gray hair of the Iain Gray family. Although he is the oldest, he is only in his mid-twenties. In Reiner's memory, this eldest brother has a gentle and weak personality, and is not good at fighting with others. Therefore, he also has the best relationship with other family members.

Raven was sitting on the sofa chair. When he saw Reiner, he showed a kind smile, but did not stand up. This is probably the distance that should be maintained between brothers at present.

The elder sister, Phyllis Ian Gray, has her gray hair tied into a side ponytail and hangs down the back of her head. This sister is the third child in the family, one year older than Reiner. She has been bohemian and social since she was a child. She has had unclear relationships with many men, and has never been given any expectations by her family.

Phyllis was leaning on the window sill, seemingly playing with a small object. She glanced at Reiner and said nothing.

To be honest, Reiner didn't feel anything at all. He had no feelings for this brother and sister.

Now that he came here, he just wanted to see what the Ingle family's plans were for calling them back. He silently found a chair, and as soon as he sat down, someone pushed the door open and entered.

"Sorry, there was some delay."

The visitor also had the same gray hair, but his brows and eyes were more sharp. He was wearing an elegant dress, and he looked more like he was attending a banquet than a funeral.

Hyrule Ian Gray, Reiner's second brother, is also the most promising of this generation. He has shown amazing business talent since he was a child. After leaving his hometown with his other brothers and sisters, he is also the most famous in the business field. Today, Hylar has established a huge business network in the eastern countries, almost monopolizing the supply of raw materials for many industries.

Hyrule looked at the brothers, and his eyes fell on Reiner.

"Liner, it seems that you are doing well. I can drink Crescent Coke even in the east."

He said that the failure of his younger brother who had previously instructed him to stop Reiner made Hylar feel a little embarrassed, but he quickly dealt with the subsequent problems properly. Now the only thing Hyrule knows about Reiner is that his Crescent Coke has been distributed throughout the continent. The income from sales is quite high. As for magic, Hyrule usually doesn't pay much attention to it. He only knows that his younger brother seems to have made a lot of noise.

Judging from the current situation, Hyrule believed that Reiner was concentrating on magic and seemed to have no interest in fighting for the family fortune, so he shifted from the initial suppression to wooing. This time, he tried to establish an alliance with Reiner to fight against others. Brothers.

Reiner didn't respond to Hylar's intimate greeting, which made Hylar a little embarrassed and could only find a place to sit down by himself.

The four of them waited for a while, and then saw a man dressed as a butler walking in. Through memory, Reiner knew that this was Chandler, the chief butler of the Iain Gray family, and the confidant and even powerful man of his father Winchester. Even bigger than a few of their brothers.

"Uncle Chandler, where is father?"

Hylar stood up first, seeming to feel that he had the highest achievement and should be the representative.

"The master will not come this time. He has asked you to attend the funeral properly."

Chandler stood up straight, and Reiner discovered that the butler's right hand had obvious calluses on the tiger's mouth. It seemed that he had been holding a sword all year round, perhaps a retired soldier. This was something Reiner had never noticed in the past. matter.

"What, father won't come?"

Hailar was a little disappointed. In his opinion, this time should have been an opportunity for him to perform well, but looking at it now, he couldn't understand what the father was thinking.

Are they really just asking them to organize the funeral for their aunt?

"The funeral will be held in the afternoon. Young masters and ladies, you can walk around the villa as you like. Please don't leave. I will send a servant to notify you when the time comes."

Chandler said calmly and left without saying another word.

"What the hell is going on?"

Hailar was confused. He took out his pocket watch and took a look at it, then walked out of the room in a hurry.

Raven didn't say anything and left here.

Reiner was about to go find Claire, but was stopped by his sister Phyllis.

"Reiner, what do you think?"

There was a hint of charm in Phyllis's voice. If it were anyone else, she might have had a different idea, but Reiner remained calm and looked directly into the other person's eyes.

"Sister Phyllis, since you know, why do you come to ask me?"

Reiner was still a little unsure at first, but when he heard Phyllis' question, he immediately confirmed his guess and asked.

"Haha, you have changed so much in the past six months. You are no longer the kid who didn't understand anything in the past."

Phyllis smiled. The clothes she wore were quite designed. They boldly exposed her white calves and upper arms. They were also embellished with a lot of lace. The close-fitting fabric highlighted her hot figure. Phyllis took out the iron from her pocket. Make a cigarette box, take out one, light it with a match, take a deep breath, and spit out the smoke.

The aroma of tobacco was very light and not offensive. Reiner could even smell a hint of fruity aroma. This must be a specially made cigarette.

"I guess there is a secret hidden in Aunt Celia's house."

Phyllis said quietly.

"Father's intention is for us to find this secret so that we can explore our respective abilities."
