Chapter 150 McKinney's Attitude
Roning stayed with Rulans for a long time.
He recounted some of the events that happened in Shanlin Town at the time, such as how to eliminate the Storm Wolf and defeat Lei Sen.
At the same time, he also learned about some recent events in Wushanbao.
The last time Ronin came, Lulans asked him whether he wanted to attack the Black Gold Brotherhood.
At that time, he advised that no action should be taken before spring plowing and that Wiggins' assassination took place on Earl Hyde's land. Orson should explain this matter to Wushan Castle rather than send troops.
It was not known whether Lulans had intended to do so or whether Roning's suggestion worked, but Wushanbao instructed Orson to take action to avenge Wiggins.
Now, nearly two months have passed, and Orson is said to have won two wars, but he did not kill the main figures of the Black Gold Brotherhood, and it seems that he has not achieved any significant results.
After leaving, Rulans, Roning, and McKinney went to visit Wiggins.
Now, in Wushan Castle, Rulans is recuperating in the back garden, and it is almost always guests who visit him, and he seldom shows up on his initiative;
Wiggins has lost a leg and cannot move around easily, so the task of receiving guests in Wushan Castle falls on the shoulders of the castle's hostess, Diane, and Breton.
Fortunately, we have gained experience over the years, and with the assistance of Hallwart and others, the reception is proceeding in an orderly manner.
"Hi, Brother Luo Ning!"
Breton came up to greet them warmly. He was wearing a fitted tuxedo today, with a golden mountain pattern embroidered on his shoulders, the emblem of the Wushan family.
"I heard from Hallward that you were back long ago, but unfortunately, I couldn't leave and didn't go to see you."
"It is more important to receive guests and not let Wushanbao lose courtesy."
Roning thought of what Bretton had said to him that day. The young man in front of him looked very innocent at the moment. "You did a great job today!"
Brayton smiled, then nodded slightly to McKinney and called her sister.
McKinney, on the other hand, didn't have a very good attitude towards Brayton. He just hummed indifferently.
"Where is father?" Luo Ning asked.
"Father is in the study. Viscount Marvin came over just now, and they chatted for a while."
Roning nodded, said goodbye to Bretton, and walked towards the study.
"Ronin, why are you so polite to Breton?"
McKinney's tone was not very good, and he was unsatisfied with Roning's attitude towards Bretton.
"Is there anything wrong?" Luo Ning asked with a smile.
McKinney looked around and saw that there was no one in the corridor, so he leaned over to Roning and whispered, "I heard from Kabir that Selina's suicide was a conspiracy. They used despicable means to frame you, and the one who benefited was Brayton!"
Roning had no memory of how Selina committed suicide. To be exact, he couldn't remember what happened that day. He didn't believe that there was a conspiracy.
However, facing that situation when he first came here, Roning had no way to break the impasse, so the matter was already settled.
Roning didn't want to reveal his inner thoughts, so he casually said, "Breton may not know the truth behind this matter. He is just a child."
McKinney glared, "You're still as...childish as ever!"
Luo Ning spread his hands and jokingly said, "What do you want me to do to Bretton? Go up and slap him twice?"
"Take back the inheritance rights; they belong to you!"
McKinney said seriously: "Don't worry, we will support you!"
Luo Ning was stunned.
McKinney said, "We," not just her; there should be Kabir and even more people.
Perhaps this group of people does not want to see Bretton take over after the death of Rulans and Wiggins.
As long as Luo Ning takes the lead, people will definitely stand up and support him.
"There's still a lot of time, sister!"
Luo Ning smiled and said, "Our grandfather is in good health. Although father lost a leg, if nothing unexpected happens, he can live for at least another 20 to 30 years. Maybe by then, Bretton and I will have died unexpectedly?"
He shrugged. "What's the point of arguing about this?"
"You really can't even speak?"
"Who would curse themselves to die early at such a young age?"
After hearing this, McKinney reached out and grabbed Roning's ear, just as he had done when he taught him a lesson as a child.
The two talked briefly, then went to the study to meet Wiggins.
Compared with the last time, although Wiggins was still sitting in a wheelchair, his mental state was much better, and he smiled again during the conversation.
According to McKinnie, Wiggins' temper has decreased significantly since breaking his leg, and the atmosphere during conversations has become much more harmonious.
Luo Ning also felt deeply touched.
In the beginning, Wiggins wanted to kill him at every turn, but now he looks much more pleasing to the eye.
People say that when you lose something, you gain something else. Could it be that Wiggins lost a leg and gained a relatively "quiet" personality?
After coming out of Wiggins' study, McKinney communicated with her friend.
Roning didn't know many nobles, and his friends from his previous life weren't that great either. He was too lazy to visit them and just wanted to return to his residence and rest.
But just as he walked out of the hall, he was stopped.
"Hi, Ronin!"
A slightly plump boy called out Luo Ning's name enthusiastically, "When did you arrive?"
Luo Ning looked at the person in confusion until he came a little closer, and then he recognized him.
It was Malik from the Green family in Lake Town. He had saved Roning's life on the way to Mountain Forest Town.
He remembered that Malik was not fat at that time, but how had he gained a lot of weight in four or five months? He was also wearing thick clothes, and it was hard to recognize him from a distance.
"Just arrived a short time ago."
Luo Ning greeted with a smile: "Why are you alone?"
"My parents took Marina to see Viscount Dennis, and I was bored, so I wandered around."
He also looked Luo Ning up and down as he spoke, "I haven't seen you for half a year. You are in much better condition than before. But aren't you cold wearing only these few clothes?"
Luo Ning looked at himself. Although he was only wearing two pieces of underwear and a coat on the outside, he didn't feel cold at all.
He couldn't help but think of his middle school days, when there were always classmates who, in order to "prefer style over temperature," would not bother to wear one or two more layers of clothes even when it was so cold that their teeth were chattering.
He couldn't help but joke: "Malik, you are so young. How can you not stand this little bit of cold? You should know that wearing fewer clothes will make more girls think you are strong and make them fall in love with you."
"Ah? There is such a thing?"
Malik believed it; Roning was very good at pursuing girls.
Should he remove this goose-down coat and change it into something light and figure-flattering?
Luo Ning laughed. He just said it casually but didn't expect the other party to listen to him.
He couldn't help but change the subject, "Last time you and your sister were assassinated, did your father find any clues about the murderer behind the scenes?"
Roning now holds the confession of the Shadow Assassin in his hand, which mentions that Lei Sen hired someone to assassinate Malik and his sister.
Malik's thoughts were pulled back.
"No, they haven't even investigated the assassination of the Earl, let alone us!"
He shook his head and said in annoyance, "Damn those people hiding behind the scenes. Now, my sister and I need at least four or five knights to follow us whenever we go out. It's too restrictive!"
"That's because your father cares about your safety. You should understand his feelings."
Hermann had already experienced the pain of losing a son and a daughter. Now that he was middle-aged, the Green family would be left without an heir if anything happened to his children. Naturally, he would not allow this to happen.
I think Hermann would hate the murderer to the core.
Once Ronin reveals that Leisen did all this, he should get Hermann's support.
"Does it need to be disclosed in advance?"
Revealing the information in advance is nothing more than building a good relationship, so when Roning requests, the other party will help say a few words.
However, considering the other party's attitude when he went to Lake Town, Roning gave up the idea.
"Perhaps I should say hello to Grandpa in advance." Luo Ning thought to himself.
