Battle of the Twin Cities: The Ninth Councilor

Chapter 81 The Next Patriarch of the Philos Family

"Mr. Hakim, what's the matter with you?"

Marcus came to the hotel and wanted to take the crystallographer to the Philos family in advance, but saw Hakim opening the door weakly with a pale face.

"I...maybe I'm a little unaccustomed, just get used to it." When Hakeem spoke, he sounded like a seriously ill patient who was about to die.

"Your physical fitness is too poor. You were not acclimatized when you first arrived in Picheng. You must exercise more in the future!" Marcos was heartbroken. With such a weak body, don't delay work.

He is still waiting for the improved Hex crystal to be put into production.

"..."

Hank stood behind Marcus, looking at the half-dead Hakim with sympathetic eyes.

This innocent expert still doesn't know that he is not the so-called 'acclimatized' at all, but because he drank the tea poured by Chief Marcus himself.

As a former victim, Hank admits that he will not make mistakes in judgment.

"No, I think your condition is too bad. Let me go to the hospital for a diagnosis by the doctor first." Marcus asked Hank to pick up Hakim, went out and called a carriage, and went straight to the hospital.

With the help of Hank's little green plum, Hakim received treatment from Dr. Ryan immediately, prescribed some medicine for him and told him: "You are such an adult, why don't you pay attention to what you eat? Things that fall on the ground Can’t eat, no one taught you?”

Hakim was confused, when did he eat something that fell on the ground?
Could it be that when I was driving in the desert two days ago, I swallowed some wind and sand after eating?

"Okay, okay, I see, thank you doctor." Hakim sat there obediently and nodded like a child who made a mistake.

"Okay, if you have nothing to do, go back and have a good rest, take the medicine on time and you will be cured in a few days." Dr. Ryan waved away.

Bringing Hakim out of the hospital, Marcos sighed: "It turned out that it wasn't acclimatization, but food poisoning. It's a good thing I brought you here for diagnosis and treatment, otherwise I would miss a big deal!"

After learning about his illness, Hakim was very depressed. He had driven and eaten in the sandstorm before, so why did something happen this time?
Hank watched and listened silently behind the two, he had a lot to say in his heart, but because of the officer's face, he could only swallow all the words in his stomach.

Almost suffocated him.

But needless to say, Dr. Ryan did have two brushes. He mixed a little green potion for Hakim and drank it on the spot. His complexion looks much better now.

"In your current state, can you participate in the work?" Marcos was concerned about the progress of Hex technology, so he could only squeeze Hakim ruthlessly.

Hakim also knows that this is an opportunity for him to express himself. Whether he can stay in the holy place in the hearts of scientific and technological talents to work in the future depends on the performance of this interview.

He immediately nodded and said, "It should be fine."

For him, as long as he is a professional counterpart, the current physical condition does not actually affect him much.

"Let's go then."

Marcus couldn't help but call for a carriage again, and the three of them rushed to the northern suburbs of Picheng.

……

In Feiros Manor, in the living room of Ren Feiros, the owner, Camille just explained to her father the changes in the family in the past five years.

Patriarch Ren was lying on the luxurious big bed, the high-grade duvet was stained with blood, and his face was deathly pale.

"Um...cough..."

After listening to Camille's report, Patriarch Renn coughed violently for a while, and after recovering from his breath, he said slowly: "You have done a good job, especially the progress of the artificial original crystal, which is two years faster than I expected.

There is also the Hex technology developed by the kid from the Tallis family. It is also a very wise move for you to grab 18.00% of the total shares.

Fusion of magic and ahem... ahem, a product of science and technology, the potential is limitless, and a stake in it can establish the confidence of the Philos family to stand proudly in Picheng. "

"Father, you are seriously injured. Let me take care of the family affairs first. When you get better, I will..." Camille felt distressed when she heard her father's speaking speed like a gossamer.

"I know my own body." Ren Patriarch shook his head miserably, "If your aunt hadn't sent me out this time, I might not be able to see you alive..."

Regarding the attack on him, Patriarch Ren seemed unwilling to mention too much, but changed the subject and asked, "Where is Stevan? Why didn't you see him?"

"He's waiting outside the door, do you want me to call him in?" Camille asked softly.

Since the Marvin incident five years ago, his younger brother, Stevan, has calmed down a lot and is no longer as playful as before.

But to say how much his abilities have improved...

Camille didn't think so. She knew that Stevan wanted to prove himself, but his abilities were really limited.

"No, what else can that kid do besides make me angry?"

Even though he was seriously injured, Patriarch Renn's dislike for his son was no less than before. He knew that Stevan was a waste in essence.

but……

Who let him have only this one son?

No matter how trashy he is, he is still his own son!
"Camier..." Patriarch Ren's face suddenly turned rosy, and he spoke with a lot of confidence, "From now on, the Philos family will be handed over to you, Stevan... If he can be obedient, you Let him be a second-generation ancestor, give him more money, and let him live a carefree life.

If he is disobedient, you don't have to worry about family affection. I don't need to teach you what to do, do you? "

"Father!" Camille exclaimed, unable to believe that such cruel words came from her father's mouth.

"Listen, don't take revenge for me, that's a big shot we can't afford." Patriarch Ren's rosy face quickly turned haggard, "Don't take revenge, it will bring disaster to the entire Picheng, remember..."

After the last sentence, Patriarch Ren's aura gradually disappeared, leaving only a cold corpse lying there with his eyes closed.

"Father!!"

Camille threw herself on Patriarch Ren's body, weeping uncontrollably.

Clang!

The living room door was pushed open, and Stevan appeared in the doorway with red eyes.

Several private doctors hired by the Philos family broke into the room one after another. After some investigation, they all shook their heads and remained silent.

"Stevan, from now on, we don't have a father." Camille walked to the door, hugged her younger brother, and said sadly.

Stevan glanced over Camille's shoulder, looking at Patriarch Ren, who was lifeless on the bed, and said in a trembling voice, "The next Patriarch..."

"……It's you."

Camille concealed the last words of Patriarch Rennes and handed over the position of patriarch to his younger brother Stevan.

That's good.

Stevan made up his mind, took a deep breath, and his voice became stable: "I will send someone to inform mother of the news of father's death, so that she can come back as soon as possible."

"Ah."

Camille didn't see that after Stevan finished telling his mother the news, a savage look flashed in his eyes.
