Don't underestimate this chapter ~ The conversation in this chapter has laid a lot of foreshadowing for the later plot.
After the game, Roy walked up to the highest stands and was awarded a certificate of honor by Sengoku. Then, she asked him to give an award speech…
Roy took the phone bug and said a lot of things like," For this success, I want to thank my parents, my friends, my teachers, my superiors..." After that, he finally said something that caused the entire navy to ponder,"When a person has something to protect, he will become stronger..." And I will always protect the glory of the navy.”The last sentence was nonsense. What was the glory of the navy in his heart…Who knew?
Later, under Kane's lead, the group of people from the East Ocean who arrived at the naval headquarters with Roy began to shout," Long live Roy!" Under their lead, more and more people shouted slogans…In the end, it felt like everyone was shouting deafening slogans. Roy, who was standing on the high platform, finally understood why so many people wanted to be king…This unparalleled sense of accomplishment was not something that ordinary people could understand. At this moment, a small seed was planted in his heart. One day, after being watered by the rain, this seed would grow into a towering tree...
Under Luo Yi's absolute strength, the entire selection ended in a relaxed atmosphere. After the match, Roy wanted to go back and continue attacking his beautiful officer, but he was stopped by Sengoku. "Roy, come with me to the office.”As he spoke, he walked towards the office. Roy could only follow behind. He really wanted to show off his domineering aura to Sengoku…Roy thought fiercely in his heart,
When they arrived at the office, they found that there was one more person. It was the man in a black suit who sat beside Sengoku in the stands just now. After sending the two into the office, Sengoku said," Mr. Francis, take your time to chat."”After saying that, he left…When Roy heard Sengoku's words, he was slightly surprised. Sengoku would definitely not address him as " Mr. Francis ", so it could only be this man in front of him, someone from the same family as him!
" You did well today," the man said to Roy after he and Roy sat down on the sofa facing each other.
" Thank you for your compliment, Mr. Francis. I'm sure you didn't call me here just to praise me," Roy emphasized the word Francis. Roy was not stupid, but it didn't mean that he liked to play tricks with people, especially when he had already guessed the other party's purpose. He didn't want the other party to beat around the bush…
The man was not angry. He smiled and said,"An impatient little boy…" But I like it very much. I believe that you have already thought of some of it. I will tell you what will happen next. You have the right to refuse, but I believe that this is something that is beneficial to both the family and you. With your intelligence, you will not resist foolishly…"
Roy frowned as he listened to the man continue," My name is Robert, the next head of the Francis family. This time, the family sent me here to see you, the new star of the family. You don't have to look at me like that... A genius who was valued by the higher-ups of the navy for special training at the age of 15. It would be difficult for us not to notice him. I continued…Judging from your performance today, I can say with certainty that you are the most outstanding young man in the next generation of the Francis family! I can even say that you are one of the most outstanding young generation in this world!”The man took a sip of water and continued,"With your ability, I believe that you will be used by any family…" Coincidentally, our family is the representative of the Reformist Party, so we won't add any rude requests like those old families... Our condition is that no matter where you go, you have to carry the name of the Francis family!”
"Use me as a signboard to increase your influence?”Roy said indifferently,
"Yes, you're very smart. Simply put, that's what you mean!”The man said bluntly, then said with a hint of mockery,"If you're willing, I believe that with your strength, you can take over the entire Francis family in the future and become the patriarch of my later generation." Of course, I think you might not be satisfied with such an achievement."
Roy pursed his lips." Tell me more specifically. What does the family want me to do and what can I get from the family?”
The man was stunned when he heard Roy's words. He obviously did not expect him to be so direct. Then, he laughed out loud.... What you need to do for the clan is very simple. When the clan needs your strength to take over, you have to step forward. You should know that our clan is the clan with the most hope of successfully taking over the Five Old Stars! "There's no other way, but there will still be a lot of trouble. At that time, you might need to take action! There was also…Your legal wife must be chosen by the family for you! Of course, you have to note that I'm talking about your legal wife. Other than that, you can have as many women as you want.”
Roy still did not say anything after hearing that. He only said,"Very lenient conditions…" What about what I can get?"
"You can have all the resources you need to become the strongest in this world!”The man said without thinking. Then, he joked," For example, you need a teacher in swordsmanship. The family will provide you with the best swordsman in the world. Who is that person again…He seemed to be called Red-haired Shanks? Ah, this one might not work. It's a pirate. We can find you another one called Mihawk. Hawkeye King Qiwu Hai came to be a teacher. Another example was the Demon Fruit, which was priceless in the world. As long as you wanted it, the family would pay a huge price for it! Wait a minute... Ah, I don't think I know much about combat. Were those conditions enough to tempt a warrior?”
Roy nodded noncommittally and smiled." Very good speech, sir! You're the best politician I've ever seen, and now I'm tempted. Roy was indeed tempted. Under such conditions, who wouldn't be tempted?
The man was very satisfied with Roy's attitude and asked," So, do you agree?”
"Of course I agree! Also, please bring my mother back to the family. I think she must be very happy that her son can now bring honor to the family!”Roy thought for a moment and nodded.
The man nodded and said,"What a filial child." I guarantee that your mother will enjoy the honor and status you brought to her when she returns to the family. Also, I can change the 'D' in your name back to the 'A' in your family's direct line of descent…"
Before the man could finish, Roy interrupted him with a playful smile." No, Uncle Robert. I like D…This was a letter that could give people great mental power.”
