"Lucius Cavendish!" The members of the Cangqing Gang read out his name.
This is the only old noble in Koror, the head of the Cavendish family.
"Daughter, why don't you say hello to your father when you see him? We haven't seen each other for decades!" Lucius greeted his daughter happily after seeing her. "Do you want me to give you a hug?"
"No need, don't pay too much attention to me," Sera said coldly, "Why aren't you dead yet? You're pretty tough."
"Oh, it's so sad, daughter. Do you really hope that your father will die and give you gold coins?" Lucius sighed resentfully.
"…I'm here to find you."
"Oh, my daughter actually came to pick me up in person. I'm so touched. Anyway, I've had enough fun these few days, so let's go back."
Lucius walked over to Sera's side and smiled at his daughter.
Sera was very impatient and refused to say another word.
Xia Yi felt surprised. Is this... a loving father and a filial daughter?
This is the first time I've seen such a bizarre parent-child relationship.
The conversation between this father and daughter really shocked everyone.
Of course, more of it was shock.
That is the heir of the Cavendish family, and he actually came back alive!
The two heirs of the Cavendish family have disappeared for hundreds of years, and most people in Koror believe that these two heirs died young.
But who could have thought that the heir of the Cavendish family was not only alive, but also demonstrated amazing strength today, giving the emerging nobles a warning and announcing his return in a high-profile manner.
Is this some kind of signal that the once silent old nobles are about to show their ambitions again?
Thinking of this, Oba couldn't help but start to panic.
Although the emerging nobles did not look down on the Cavendish family, after all, they were still nobles who had been recognized by the royal family. They were very different from other nobles. Even if they had declined, they still had a certain weight.
If this family plans to rise again...
In any case, the emerging nobles would not want to see this.
"Mr. Lucius, where are you going?" Oba asked someone to stop Lucius.
"Of course I'm going home," Lucius yawned. "It's normal to go home and sleep after playing for a long time. Why do you still want to restrict my personal freedom? I'm afraid you are not qualified, the young master of the Erwin family."
"Mr. Lucius, please don't open your eyes and talk. You allowed your daughter to wreak havoc in our Denggao Casino, disrupting the celebration and causing us huge losses. She also violated the laws of Koror. The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people and must be punished."
"So, didn't I tell you that I will cover all the losses today? I will also pay for the ransom of my daughter and her friend."
"Are you kidding? This is only enough to feed beggars!" Oba stepped on the coins on the ground.
Lucius put his hands in his pockets and raised his head slightly. Using his height, he deliberately put on a contemptuous expression, which made him look really annoying.
"I participated in the special event of your Ascend Casino's celebration today. I put all my chips into it. I bet on my daughter. No one can defeat her before the sheriff arrives. Now the bet is over. According to the odds, you know how much I earned? The golden tree of your Ascend Casino is now mine."
"What...?" Oba was stunned.
"Please deal with it as soon as possible. Deduct the loss caused by my daughter to you today and the redemption money, and send the remaining gambling money to our Cavendish family as soon as possible."
"Impossible, you are talking nonsense, I don't believe it, waiter!!" Oba roared.
The waiter came up quickly and showed Lucius the proof of his bet.
It is clearly written in black and white, there is no way it can be faked.
According to the bet, he did win, and the odds were not low, after all, he was the only one who bet that Sera would not lose.
The key point is that the amount Lucius bet was ridiculously high.
Even after calculating all the compensation and redemption money, the Ascend Casino still owed the Cavendish family a large sum of money.
The Erwin family not only had to bear the losses tonight themselves, but also had to pay the other party for redemption, and finally had to give a large sum of money... It was such a loss!!
"damn it!"
Oba was so angry that he was about to jump up and down, and his neck turned red.
"Sheriff, what are you waiting for? Arrest these people immediately! Even if they are nobles, they must follow the procedures and be imprisoned first!!"
Lucius sneered, "Arrest us? You're overthinking it. The only people in the entire Dragon Kingdom who can sanction our Cavendish family are the Dragon Royal Family. Unless Her Majesty the Queen comes in person, no one else is qualified."
92 Hard to Speak
The sheriff's face fell.
He was quite unhappy about having his authority challenged like this.
But the Cavendish family is not a new noble family. In terms of status, they are indeed much higher than the new nobles. If the sheriff wants to arrest them, he has to go back and get approval from his superiors.
The head of the Cavendish family is also a notorious prodigal son in Koror.
He just muddles through every day, going to casinos, spending money on wine and women, living off his savings, and doing almost no real work.
This man had scandals with stars of the Coral Theatre from time to time. What was exaggerated was that he would hook up with a female star within less than half a day of meeting her and then sleep with her at night, causing her to miss her notice the next day. The whole city knew about it.
Only Lucius could do such a thing.
In the eyes of other nobles, Lucius was able to be so indulgent just because of the honor his ancestors had obtained and his good fortune to be born into this family.
No one took him seriously and were just waiting for this prodigal son to bring down the Cavendish family.
There's no point in getting on the same level with such a low-level guy.
"Why are you still standing there? Why don't you make way for me?" Lucius asked.
"Cavendish family, please note that if you violate Coral's laws again within a short period of time after paying the atonement money, the atonement money will become invalid," said the sheriff.
"You don't need to remind me how many times I've paid the ransom. I know this very well."
"That's good, pack up and let's go."
The sheriff gave some instructions, and the guards took the dragon members of the Cangqing Gang away and left together.
“You guys… come back!!”
Oba was very angry when he saw the security team leaving, but he could do nothing. After all, he was just a junior and did not have enough say. If his father was here, the result would definitely be different.
"Okay, goodbye, Master Oba. Please say hello to your father for me later. Thank you to the Erwin family for inviting me to participate in the celebration of the Denggao Casino. I am very happy and I would like to give you a five-star rating!" Lucius did not forget to tease Oba before leaving.
Originally, Denggao Casino had targeted Lucius, a guy with no ambition, and planned to make a fortune from him. But now, look what happened. It has lost everything from the beginning to the end.
"Damn you Cavendish family, just wait, this matter... won't just end like this!!"
Looking at Lucius' back, Oba clenched his hands into fists and smashed the table.
……
Xia Yi followed Sera and returned to the Cavendish family's estate with Lucius.
"Master, you are finally back!!"
When Uncle Ya saw Lucius, he excitedly went up to greet him.
"It's so rare that you are with the young lady! I heard that something incredible happened in the Denggao Casino..."
"It's nothing. It's something my excellent daughter can easily handle."
Lucius wanted to touch Sera's head.
Sera looked disgusted and quickly moved away.
It was obviously a very embarrassing scene, but Lucius didn't care at all. "Haha, daughter, you haven't seen your father for so long, and you are actually starting to feel shy. This is unnecessary."
"I don't want to say anything unpleasant to you, so please restrain yourself."
Sera didn't even want to be nice to her weird father.
"It doesn't matter! Since it's so rare that my daughter is back, we have to celebrate it properly. Uncle Ya, go prepare the banquet. I want to celebrate it properly today!"
"Yes, Master!" Uncle Ya went down to prepare.
Xia Yi now feels that the Cavendish family is really unique.
People say he is capable, but he never does any real work.
To say he was incompetent, he used unexpected means to help Sera and himself escape from the Denggao Casino, and also made a huge sum of money from the Erwin family.
He seems to be a very complicated person.
……
Lucius called Xia Yi and entered the room, and Sera followed.
This is a private reception room, and there is no one else here except these three people.
During the entire journey, Lucius had not initiated a conversation with Xia Yi. Now that there was no one else around, it was obvious that he had something to say.
At first, Xia Yi thought he would laugh.
As a result, his expression suddenly changed. He became very serious and respectful, and actually took the initiative to salute Xia Yi.
"Your humble servant pays respect to Her Majesty the Queen."
"Eh?"
Xia Yi was stunned for a moment.
"Her Majesty the Queen visited Coral incognito, and I did not greet her in advance. I made you see her in an embarrassing way, which violated the etiquette of the Cavendish family. Please forgive me." Lucius lowered his head.
Xia Yi blinked.
It turned out that Lucius had mistaken himself for Xia Lulu.
I look so much like Xia Lulu. Except for some minor differences, they look almost the same.
Only those who have stayed in the Dragon Palace for a long time can tell the difference.
Sera almost couldn't help laughing when she saw Lucius, who had always been frivolous, become serious.
"Your Majesty, I am ready to apologize. Please proceed..."
"You got the wrong person," Xia Yi explained, "I'm not Xia Lulu."
"Not Her Majesty?"
