Chapter 521: The Director's suggestion

Donate all... the Ryan family's industries... to the royal family?

Hearing Leon's words, the red-haired director couldn't help but sit up straight in surprise.

Even if the Ryan family is already crumbling, it is estimated that in a short time, it will be seized of most of its industries under the cannibalization of various forces, leaving an empty shell that makes no sense.

But even this empty shell is enough for an "ordinary person" to squander for a lifetime. Why would he think of donating it all?

"Because the Cleanup Bureau's salary is enough for me to spend, and it can even make our family live quite well. Although inheriting the Duke's title can get more wealth, it will also be involved in endless troubles, and Anna and the others' lives will be completely disrupted. Compared to that, I feel it's better to be like this now."

After briefly explaining his reasons, Leon thought for a while and added:

"Of course, I chose to do this to avoid suspicion. After all, if I inherit the Lionheart Duke's title, I will become the biggest beneficiary of the Ryan Blood Night. The investigators from the bureau might think too much, so it's better to force them to change someone else to succeed the title and shake off this burden as soon as possible."

So the wealth of an entire Duke family is just a heavy burden in your eyes?

Staring at Leon's eyes and confirming that what he said was indeed his true thoughts, the red-haired director's eyebrows couldn't help but lift slightly, and then she glanced at the toad pendant on Leon's chest.

That's true... If he had a strong thirst for wealth, he probably wouldn't be able to resist this Holy Spirit that masters the power of wealth. It's not hard to understand that he would make such a choice, but...

"Why did you choose to donate it to the royal family?"

The red-haired director thought for a while and reminded seriously:

"If you just want to force them to change someone else to succeed the title, I actually don't suggest you donate it to the royal family, because they may not accept it.

After all, this looks too much like seizing property. The power of the old nobles is not weak. If the degree is not handled well and causes a large-scale counterattack, it will definitely be enough for the royal family to drink a pot.

What's more, even if you don't donate it to them, with the royal family's momentum now, it is estimated that they can bite off three or four percent of the wealth. If operated relatively well, five percent is also possible. They may not be willing to take this risk, and the possibility of you being rejected on the spot is not small."

"..."

So there is such a development?

Hearing the red-haired director's words, Leon couldn't help but be slightly startled, and then felt fortunate that he didn't just go and do it, but chose to consult her first. Otherwise, if the royal family really "refused to accept," he would be stuck at that time.

After deeply realizing the gap between himself and the director in this regard, Leon, who had always been open-minded and eager to learn, immediately lowered his posture and took the initiative to ask for advice:

"Then in your opinion, what should I do?"

"Simple!"

After snapping her fingers crisply, the red-haired director smiled and said:

"For such an important succession ceremony, the Princess will definitely be present. You can just use the entire Ryan family as a betrothal gift and propose to her on the spot~"

"..."

"Ah?!?!?!"

"Believe me, this is definitely the best way."

Looking at Leon, whose chin was shocked by her plan, the red-haired director, who had avenged her "fright," felt much more comfortable in her heart, and then smiled and said:

"Isn't your ultimate goal to force them to change someone else to succeed the title?

In the eyes of those people now, you and the entire Ryan family are fish on the chopping block, no matter how you struggle, you can only be divided and eaten. So no matter how absurd or ridiculous this Duke of yours performs, it will have no impact on the result."

Even if you donate the Ryan family, it doesn't matter. Anyway, you can only donate the Ryan family's wealth. The more important Upper Academy seat, as well as the influence in the Military Department and the Road Administration Department, are impossible for you to donate. These core things can only be occupied by other noble in-laws.

But if you use the entire Ryan family as a betrothal gift and propose to the Princess, then the situation will be completely different." In Leon's dumbfounded expression, the red-haired director said firmly:

"If you really succeed in the proposal, the Princess can swallow the Ryan family's wealth and Upper Academy seat in one gulp, and then justifiably occupy the Ryan family's positions in the Military Department and the Road Administration Department, and completely hit her influence in.

In this way, the number of 'departments' that the royal family can basically control has reached nine. Counting other 'departments' that although cannot be controlled, also have some influence, more than half of the entire Kingdom's government departments will be affected by the Princess.

Plus the Ryan family's Upper Academy Vice-Speaker seat, the Princess will have power in both the Upper and Lower Academies. Even if the old nobles and the Academy unite, they are only two or three percent stronger than her.

Plus the internal friction and ghost thoughts after the two sides unite, the Princess faction and the non-Princess faction are basically fifty-fifty. The improvement measures that she has been firmly stuck in the past will have the possibility of being forcibly pushed forward, and the entire old noble class will suffer heavy losses.

Once they figure out this problem, let alone just changing a successor, those guys are afraid that they will have the heart to kill you on the spot!"

"..."

Looking at Leon, who went from full of astonishment to dumbfounded, and finally to silent, the red-haired director, whose evil taste was satisfied, smiled and concluded:

"If you do as I say, the worst result can also successfully get rid of the Duke's identity. If it's the best result, you can even marry the Princess and directly become a Prince!

Little Leon~ How is the idea I gave you?"

"..."

The idea is good, but it would be even better if you didn't tease me by the way.

At this time, Leon had already reacted. The director's problem of loving to tease people was afraid of committing, and the proposal just now was clearly teasing him.

"Thank you, Director, for the reminder."

After remembering this super-kill move that could get rid of the Duke's identity one hundred percent as long as it was used, Leon said with a dark face:

"But you don't really need to propose to the Princess, right? As long as I say that I am preparing to propose, they should drive me out of the Duke's position."

"That would also work, but are you really not considering it?"

The red-haired director smiled and said:

"According to that Princess's style of doing things, she would definitely agree to your proposal conditions on the spot. She is known as the number one beauty in the whole capital. Do you have even a little bit of... in your heart..."

"No!"

Seeing that the director had entered the unreliable mode, Leon, who had already asked for a solution to the problem, naturally didn't want to continue staying here and being teased, so he left the director's office with a straight face.

"There is a lot of work accumulated in these two days. If there is nothing else, I will go busy first."

"Hmm, go, go~"

After smiling and watching Leon leave, the red-haired director, whose mood was much more comfortable, took a stack of documents and continued to work at her desk. However, when the sun began to tilt slightly to the west, she suddenly said "oops," opened the drawer with some annoyance, and took out a family photo tied with hair.

Busy with business first, and then looking for fun, she forgot to return this anomalous object that Jerry stole from Leon to him!
