Blackstone Code Chapter 1114: Who is afraid of whom?

Because Lynch has been out all this time, Anna did not spend the night at Lynch's villa today and returned home.

The huge restaurant looks like a medieval aristocratic castle, but the interior decoration is not very luxurious.

It is like a gathering place. There are long tables in the wide space, and two benches are on both sides of the long table. The people of the Arkin family gather here to eat.

The Arkins call themselves nobles, so they too have a noble tradition.

Everyone, no matter what, as long as they are at home, they must eat here.

Including Mr. Patou.

Mr Patou sat at the center table, in the master's seat, and his brothers and sisters sat on either side of him, like uncles and aunts, all at the other tables .

Those people are too old and have given up the power in their hands. They have left the power core of the Ajiner family, and naturally they are not qualified to sit in the most prominent positions.

At the same time, as Mr. Patu's elders, they don't want to look at a junior's face when they eat. They have been tired all their lives and should rest.

Only those in power are eligible to sit at this table in Mr. Patou.

Other juniors sit at the table on the left side of this table, where there are high-profile juniors who represent the next era of the family and who will be part of the game as long as Mr. Patou steps down as head of the family. The centerpiece of dinner.

The whole restaurant is like a big canteen, full of rigid and serious things.

As is customary, people can't use a knife and fork until Mr. Patou has picked up the knife and fork to enjoy tonight's main course, and they can't do anything until then.

Can't eat, can't drink, can't make noise, can only sit.

It's just that today's process doesn't seem right. Mr. Patou didn't pick up the knife and fork to enjoy today's good roast chicken and praise the chef's cooking skills, but pointed to the last few vacant seats on this table said, "Anna, sit here."

In an instant, Anna, who was sitting at the front of the table on the left, had a blank head. She just stood up subconsciously, bowed to her brothers and sisters at the same table, and then came to the table where Mr. Patou was sitting. in the last seat.

Almost everyone is watching the changes here, Mr. Patou's actions indicate that Anna is one step closer to the "finish"!

If it wasn't for Mr. Patou, and the family's ancestral teaching was too "deep", maybe someone would have been talking in a low voice at this time.

At this time, the restaurant was still so quiet, so quiet that only various sounds, such as the bellows being pulled quickly, could be heard, whirring.

Anna saluted everyone at this table again before she sat down, which is a necessary etiquette.

It is because of these people at this table that the family can be as glorious as it is now, but next time, she won't need to salute again, because she has also become "her own".

Mr. Patou then picked up a knife and fork, cut a steaming piece of meat from a roast chicken leg, chewed it nine times in his mouth, and swallowed it.

Then he picked up the napkin and dipped the oil stain on the corner of his mouth that was not there. He turned his head and smiled and thanked the cooks standing by, "Very delicious dinner, thank you."

The cooks bowed and lined up to leave the place, and then the restaurant became lively, with people's movements as they ate, making a lot of noise even if no one spoke.

No one eats at dinner unless he/she/it has something important enough, but apparently no one has important news today.

Everyone was full of questions. They didn't know why Anna was sitting at that table. They wanted to ask what happened, but they couldn't open their mouths. They all looked very uncomfortable.

Today's dinner was probably the shortest in this period of time, and soon the young men left the table, bowing to Mr. Patou's table and leaving the dining room.

One by one, they want to know what's going on.

Until the end, only Mr. Patou and Anna were left in the dining room.

In an empty room, the slightest sound is like a ripple on a narrow water surface, echoing incessantly.

Mr. Patou put down his knife and fork as he looked at Anna.

"It's so weird..."

Mr. Patou wiped his fingertips with a wipe. He looked at Anna, who was sitting across from him, "The time, the event, the timing, everything is so coincidental!"

"You have to understand that when all the coincidences come together, it's not a coincidence!"

"I know you young people like to watch those messy TV shows, when the heroine and the hero can get pregnant just by sleeping together..."

"Then it's no coincidence that this is an elaborate trap."

"Help me ask Lynch, I want to talk to him privately!"

"I don't want a fourth person to know about this!"

As soon as he spoke, Anna put down her knife and fork, bowed her head slightly to show submission, and listened carefully.

After she heard what Mr. Patou said, although she didn't understand what he meant, she still expressed that she would do what Mr. Patou said.

Sometimes in such a big family, there is an indifference to everyone. is the best way.

You can't be enthusiastic about your children because you are the head of the family, or give them more resources, better resources, that will only keep accumulating conflicts until the conflict breaks out completely.

Not treating these people as their own children is the easiest way to treat everyone the same. This is limited justice, but at least he is just!

Then Anna knew that she could get up and say goodbye. She put down her knife and fork, cleaned her face and hands, stood up and bowed slightly to Mr. Patou, "Very delicious dinner, father."

After Mr. Patu nodded slightly in return, Anna quickly left.

After a few more minutes, he stood up, looked at the restaurant where he was alone, turned and left with a blank face.

The next day, Anna came to the villa full of doubts, but fortunately it was just doubts and not experience.

"My father wants to chat with you in private." Anna didn't go around in circles, she directly stated the commission she accepted.

Lynch was not surprised at all. Mr. Patou could sense that he was not surprised. It was like an old hunter who stood downwind and knew if there was any prey upwind.

Some things can't be hidden, smells, traces of actions, and even behavioral inertia driven by animal instinct.

So does the market.

There are so many coincidences and coincidences, how could Mr. Patu, who specializes in resource business, not be aware of these problems.

And he is also the executive president of the Star Dream Butterfly Consortium. He has a keen perception of changes in the entire market, and he has found some problems.

More importantly, Lynch was "curious" not long ago and asked some somewhat sensitive questions.

It's not surprising that he can guess!

Lynch answered in the affirmative and agreed a time.

In the evening a few days later, two people sat on a small boat on the artificial lake outside the city.

It's just the two of them, but neither of them have fishing rods.

Lynch doesn't like fishing, he doesn't like wasting his limited time fishing, he can understand the game between man and fish, and the joy of winning the game, but he just doesn't like this waste of time exercise.

So the two of them just sat on the boat, facing each other, like a fool.

"I should bring a fishing rod. Even if I don't fish, at least it looks good." Lynch opened his mouth to warm up, and his opening remarks made Mr. Patou smile a little more.

This stereotypical guy rarely shows his emotions, and then that "he seems to be smiling" feeling goes away, just his normal appearance.

"Okay, we all have limited time, can we skip this section?"

After receiving Lynch's affirmation, Mr. Patou asked directly, "You're going to take action on silver, aren't you?"

Lynch did not admit or deny, "Why do you think so?"

"Because of the discovery of open-pit gold mines in Nagalil!"

"You're not in this business, you probably don't understand how sensitive we are to these things, and the price of gold fell immediately after the mine was discovered."

"This adds to concerns about gold, silver's momentum is so strong, you need to lift the price of silver!"

"The better and faster silver rises, the more disappointed people will be with gold, and vice versa."

"More money will flow from gold to silver, and you're still going to do it with silver."

Lynch is not surprised to hear Mr. Patou's analysis, many people can analyze such results, he is not curious here, but...

"Why me?"

Mr. Patou looked at Lynch, "Of the people I know, you are the only one who fits my guess best."

"Lynch, not everyone dares to step on a tightrope and dance. I talked to you about this last time. You are fighting the world."

"Maybe there are more than 10 billion funds in the plate now ~IndoMTL.com~ you have to pry it, those people will cost you your life."

Lynch shook his head after hearing this. "People always look at the good when they think about the choices they make. Like me, no matter how aggressive it is, I feel like I'm successful."

"And when looking at other people's choices, they will be too conservative, and always feel that the possibility of failure will be greater."

"We can't just see the risk and not talk about the profit, Mr. Patou, you should understand that the greater the risk..."

Mr Patou continued, almost without pausing, "The bigger the reward!"

Lynch nodded, "Yes, ten billion, even if I can only fit five percent of it into my pocket, it's worth the risk."

"As for your consideration of whether there are other ways of harming me..."

Lynch pursed his lips and thought for a while, then said with a smile, "I'll be a danger to them before they're a danger to me!"
