Chapter 173: Bringing order to order
Isabel's father, Earl Jonathan Irons, the contemporary head of the Irons family, never expected that he would be rescued by his own daughter and a guy who was suspected of being her boyfriend. came out.
Just like he never thought before that his incompetent brother would actually have the courage to backstab him.
After originally betraying the family in Bierwater, the mobile troops of the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs quickly completed control of the manor, and he and his family members were placed under house arrest.
Jonathan Irons quickly figured out the general situation based on the recent events that his family had encountered and the rumors outside.
Therefore, I have always believed that I would probably die.
Even if the Imperial Ministry of Internal Affairs wants to let him go, his brother, who has already exposed his ambitions, will not let him go.
So when Isabel reopened the door to the master bedroom, the first reaction of him and Isabel's mother was:
"My poor daughter, how come you were captured too?"
However, after their daughter’s explanation and seeing the guards lying on the ground outside the door, they both realized that Isabel had actually come back to save them.
At this time, Jonathan Irons looked at the man next to his daughter, and it was not difficult to guess his identity.
Like her own daughter, Amber was labeled a ‘defector’.
And looking at some of the interactions between the two, he knew that he might have to experience the feeling of 'the cabbage that was well raised was lost to the pig' that every old father with a daughter had to experience.
But no matter what, he is also the head of the Irons family, he understands the priorities of things, and he is not that small-minded.
So instead of asking about relevant matters at the moment, I followed Amber and Isabel to the main reception room.
After seeing Balot and Billwater being controlled by the royal silencer, he then looked at his uncle Jacques Cole beside the royal silencer.
This is how he reacted in confusion when he walked in the door.
"Jacques. Why are you here too?"
Since he has always had a good relationship with his uncle, the two of them have always called each other casually.
"Hmm~ I was called here by these two people. They threatened the lives of your family members and asked me to do something for them."
Jacques Cole's voice was now relatively relaxed, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
But when he said this, the finance minister couldn't help but glance at Amber, and his eyes finally merged into one sentence:
"Why don't you call me daddy?"
“Tsk”
Amber ignored the Chancellor of Finance’s eyes and wasted no time, quickly telling Jonathan Irons the cause and effect.
Including the original plan of the regent faction, they were also revealed.
Anyway, everyone present except Isabel and his father knew these things.
The royal silencers will not leak this information.
These psychics who showed their talents when they were young were asked not to speak since they were young after being taken away by the empire's special cultivation institution.
More than ten years of training have allowed them to continuously improve their psychic skills, but at the same time, they have also lost their ability to speak.
And after brainwashing from childhood to adulthood, they are completely loyal to the emperor and will only become a ruthless 'guard machine' in accordance with the emperor's requirements.
After Amber finished speaking, the reception room became quiet.
Jonathan Irons was still immersed in digesting the news. Although he thought that the regent would take action on their family, he did not expect that this gentleman actually planned to drag the finance minister into the water.
His brain is not very fast. As the third generation head of the Irons family, his qualifications are not as high as those of his father. Not to mention his grandfather who once served as the Speaker of the Imperial Parliament.
But in the eyes of his father, Jonathan Irons' greatest advantage was his aloofness and stability.
Such characteristics can theoretically better protect this family business.
If the current chaos in the Star Dragon Empire had not occurred, Jonathan Irons would indeed be able to do well. Manage your own family and territory, and keep the family business passed down by your ancestors.
At least he has done a good job in economic construction and preferential treatment to the people.
It is a pity that due to the party struggle within the empire, the two major forces simultaneously focused on this already somewhat marginalized family, which created today's situation.
After a moment of silence in the reception room, the head of the family finally digested the information.
He sighed softly and walked slowly to the side of his brother, Billwater Irons.
"Billwater, you disappoint me."
Billwater, whose mouth was sealed, was full of sarcasm after hearing this sentence, and there was no trace of his own in his eyes. Brother's respect.
"Please excuse me and let him speak temporarily. I want to hear what he thinks."
Jonathan looked back at Amber and Jacques Cole, who nodded, and then ordered the Royal Silencers to temporarily unblock Billwater's mouth.
"Jonathan! You loser."
"Pa!"
As soon as Billwater said a few words, he was slapped hard by his brother. hand.
“You haven’t learned a single bit of our family’s virtues of humility, compassion, justice, and kindness until now.”
Jonathan Irons's voice was very cold, and Billwater, who was slapped in the mouth, found that it seemed like it was the first time he heard his elder brother speak like this.
“My father once warned me before he passed away to be careful about your ambitions. I originally thought that giving you enough freedom and unimaginable wealth would allow you to live in peace and be a playboy. Downplay the thoughts in your heart. It seems that I am still too naive now."
"Huh, you are indeed a good son of your father. Both of you have those pedantic thoughts in your mind."
< br>Billwater spat out the blood in his mouth, and then continued:
“We are imperial nobles. When my grandfather was in charge, he was the first-rank noble. Why are we so willing to fall and guard every day? This little family fortune and not thinking about getting more?”
"Get more? The first sequence? Billwater. Haven't you ever heard of the principle that you can't stand up to a high place?"
"That's because you don't know how to stand in a reasonable position! Our family obviously can Even more prosperous is what it is today just because of the existence of you cowards!"
Bill Water's voice was very excited, but Jonathan was completely unmoved in front of him.
"We are cowards? Then who are you? A tyrant? Or an executioner?"
There was an indescribable disappointment in Jonathan's tone.
"The plans you submitted may indeed be able to revitalize the family, but they don't regard our family's subjects as human beings at all. What do you regard them as? Just a series of numbers on a report? Or can they be used at will? Product? "
"The people? How could these untouchables have such a good life if they didn't rely on our family's support? This is what they owe us!"
Bill Water died! He stared hard into his eldest brother's eyes, and then said word for word:
"If this big car of our family wants to move forward, it will always need people under the wheels to increase friction. No matter what my ending is. How about, for the future of the Irons family, I hope you can remember this sentence.”
