Chapter 776: For storytelling, you still have to look at

Fran didn't sleep well all night.

For so many years, except for his relatives and friends who would say "fuck" to him when joking or venting emotions without really wanting to scold him, this was the first time someone had truly scolded him.

He didn't think Ted would say this sentence to him. He understood Ted, a guy who could dedicate himself to the family.

It is worth mentioning that although Ted and Fran were about the same age, Ted was Fran's nephew, and a nephew wouldn't say dirty words to an uncle who took care of him.

So this sentence should have been said by Lanse.

From the moment he finished speaking and hung up the phone, he could feel this point, Fran kept telling himself.

He fell asleep in a daze until two or three o'clock, and then got up early.

The servants were still preparing breakfast. After all, this was a family of people, even the restaurant had three large dining tables—

The women dined at the long dining table on his right, the men of the family dined at the long dining table on his left, and then the direct relatives, those with closer relationships, dined at the same table that went across.

The number of people dining every day would vary from dozens to over a hundred, which was also one of the liveliest times in the manor.

Most family members would come here around eight o'clock. They started dining at eight-twenty and finished completely at nine o'clock. The servants would take away all the food, regardless of whether you were full or not.

No one would come too early because they couldn't get up.

The Perez family already stood at the upper level of federal society, so their family members couldn't feel the pressure and urgency that this society caused them.

There were no factory bosses, enterprise bosses, standing outside the door with black faces early in the morning, checking the watch waiting for them to be late.

Nor did they need to think about where to work for pocket money.

Why did the family members of the upper class look quite good in spirit?

It was because there was no pressure.

People without pressure can grow better.

Before eight o'clock, Fran sat at the dining table. Although the butler also got up early, he rarely saw Fran get up so early, but he reacted quickly. Someone immediately ran out and then ran back.

"Master, here is today's latest newspaper."

Although Fran had no expression on his face, the butler knew he was right.

After getting up so early, he didn't go to the study or other places, but came directly to the restaurant. It was very likely for today's newspaper.

He also had the habit of reading newspapers during breakfast. This wasn't a serious meal; everyone could chat or do other things.

He flipped through some casually. "Aren't there newspapers from Likalai State?"

"Especially something like 'Today's Jincheng'?"

The butler was stunned. "'Today's Jincheng' is a local newspaper and is not distributed in Jinzhou, but there is a newspaper in Likalai State called 'Likalai News'."

"I'll have them send it over. If there is 'Today's Jincheng', I'll have them send it over too."

Fran nodded slightly and picked up one of the newspapers casually. The front-page headline was still that the Federal Army had recaptured some lost land. He didn't care about this at all.

Anyway, this land had nothing to do with him, and it didn't have much to do with the Federation. Many people, especially those in the upper-middle class, sometimes were very confused.

The confusion was, what did this war have to do with them?

Why did it have to be fought so tragically?

He didn't know.

There was a part he was interested in, for example, "The Post" mentioned the problem of federal government officials' negligence and corruption, mentioning that most multi-level government officials existed in shirking responsibility and were suspected of job-related crimes.

"The Federal Post" was definitely the top newspaper in the Federation and also the newspaper with the longest distribution time in the Federation, none other.

The current "Federal Post" was split into two parts. One was its main body, "The Federal Post," which only reported serious news and political news. The group president who took over formulated a good development direction.

At the same time, they opened a supplement to publish various entertainment-oriented non-serious news, which gained many good friends.

The main publication became a newspaper that people sensitive to politics in the Federation must subscribe to with "professionalism," "authority," "immediacy," and "leakage."

This kind of boring newspaper had no value in the eyes of most people, but in the eyes of a few, it represented the main trends of the Congress in the next three months to two years.

This news about officials' negligence and crime didn't let Fran find any content he was interested in. Then he turned to the next page, which mentioned that because of the war, the Federation and the Allied Forces needed a lot of supplies.

This might be able to press the pause button for the rapidly declining federal industrial economy and let it move upward again!

Fran looked at this news very confidently and seriously. After all, the Perez family also had many formal industries, and he would also care about this.

Maybe those ordinary people had never imagined that high-level gang leaders not only needed a smart brain but also needed to care enough about national affairs.

At 8:10, some family members and lower-ranking clansmen had already arrived in advance.

Any big family couldn't lack those rigid and dogmatic people. They always advocated various traditions, for example, young people should come earlier.

These people who arrived early basically didn't have much influence in the family, and their words weren't loud enough.

Like Robin, even if he didn't come, those old men wouldn't say anything.

People greeted Fran one after another, and Fran also put down the newspaper to deal with his family members.

The butler brought several newspapers and handed them all to Fran.

Fran picked them up casually. "Likalai News" could also be considered a serious newspaper because this was Jinzhou. Only serious newspapers could distribute newspapers here, and... "Tide News."

The distribution volume of "Tide News" in the entire Federation was amazing. Previously, they liked to use breasts as cover content, but after being complained about too much, they changed it to waists and buttocks, but doing so seemed to be better for sales.

Sometimes they would also report serious news when the content of the news was relatively important.

So when Fran didn't find the content he wanted to see in "Likalai News" and then looked at the next newspaper, he turned to look at the butler, as if expressing "give me an explanation" silently.

"Uh... they said there might be what you want in here. 'Tide News' has always been known for being bold. They dare to report anything as long as these things can attract people's attention."

"In Likalai State, Lanse and the Lanse family are undoubtedly one of the elements that attract people's attention the most."

In front of so many family members, Fran couldn't face his family members with a cover that was naked and could still see canyons and pussies, so he covered "Tide News" with "Likalai News." He was going to the study to read it.

"Eat first!"

At eight-twenty, basically everyone who could come had come. After a lamb devout to God in the family delivered a speech of "thank God for giving me food, otherwise I would starve to death," Fran picked up the knife and fork, rolled up a small piece of bacon, stuck it with a fork, dipped it in the sugar-heart egg liquid, and stuffed it into his mouth.

Only then did the sound of dense knife and fork collisions, or knife and fork and dinner plate friction collisions, come from the entire restaurant.

Fran finished his meal very early today, supported a little, bean paste, and some beef, and left.

After he arrived at the study, he began to flip through "Tide News." The newspaper did talk about the shooting problem that happened in the suburbs of Jincheng, but the reporter fucking wrote it into a story, making it impossible for people to distinguish whether this was a news or just a story!

He could imagine that after seeing this newspaper, even if some people still had doubts, they weren't confused now.

Especially that paragraph inside—

"Lanse faced two hundred fully armed enemies alone. He only had two pistols in his hand. He wasn't afraid at all and even provoked them!"

"Everyone thought he was dead, but a second later, only he was standing..."

Fuck!

Even if he was carrying two gun barrels, he couldn't kill two hundred people in a second!

Seeing this report, he was actually very clear.

It happened, but the influence wasn't big enough.

He called people he knew in Likalai State again, asking them to inquire about whether a fierce firefight or conflict broke out in Jincheng yesterday.

Just then, Robin happened to knock on the door and enter. He saw the newspaper in front of his father and looked at the huge buttocks and pussies on it, and the whole person suddenly fell silent.

Fran hadn't realized this point until he found that his favorite son's gaze fell on the newspaper in front of him. He cursed and threw the newspaper into the trash heap.

"If I say it's not what you think, can you understand?"

Robin looked back at the door and took the initiative to close the door. "I can understand, I'm also a man..."

"Fuck, you don't understand at all!"

"I'm looking for news about Ted in Jincheng yesterday in the newspaper. He's finished, you know?"

"But not a single piece of news came out. This isn't normal!"

"If Lanse hadn't told me he was finished, I wouldn't even know he was finished!"

Robin's expression also became serious. "Are they that strong?"

Fran shook his head. "This isn't a question of whether they are strong or not. The whole city is their people. I just hoped Ted could make the scene bigger, but now it seems he was eaten by Lanse without a sound."

"Of course, this doesn't mean Lanse is very strong. If he came to us, we could also do this."

"But our plan will be affected."

His face was very serious, and besides being serious, it didn't look very good. The reason was very simple.

Two people of equal strength stabbing each other, the mediator can ask them to "each take a step back."

But if it's just a one-sided beating, this strategy won't work!
