Infinite Survival: The winner takes all!

Chapter 214 The Legendary Family

"You...what's wrong?" Yunshan was stared at closely by the three people, but she did not show any fear, but her face was full of confusion.

Cecily recovered from her brief shock. She shrugged and raised her chin in the direction of Li Ming. "Our captain has the final say whether to recruit people or not. You can ask him."

After Yun Shan heard this, she immediately turned her expectant eyes to Li Ming, hoping to get a positive answer from him.

However, the result disappointed her.

"Sorry, our team is not hiring for the time being." Li Ming said expressionlessly.

This woman is extremely weird from every aspect, how dare he just recruit her here.

Yunshan bit her lower lip tightly and turned her disappointed eyes to Cecily and Xingmei, as if she hoped they could speak for her.

Xingmei ignored the other party's look for help and made no response.

Cecily spread her hands and gave him a helpless look.

The room was once again shrouded in silence, but Li Ming did not dare to relax at all.

His attention was always locked on Yunshan, and he never left her for a moment. He didn't believe it, so he could ignore her.

More than an hour later, the "Traveler" passenger ship docked steadily at the pier.

Li Ming and his party showed no abnormality and stepped onto the pier in an orderly manner like the passengers around them.

In the sky, thick smoke billowed out from the factory chimneys, blocking part of the sunlight and making the entire sky look gray.

The smoke intertwined with the steam emitted by the steam machines on the pier, forming a white fog that made it difficult to see the distant scenery clearly.

On the dock, workers were busy shuttling between goods, and the surrounding air was filled with the smell of coal and engine oil. The smells mixed together made people feel suffocating.

Although the sea surface is sparkling, the water is also polluted and appears dark brown.

Occasionally, a few gray seabirds flew across the water, but their calls also seemed a bit hoarse and weak.

The environment is terrible, but for gamers, apart from being a bit of a visual eyesore, there will be no physical discomfort.

Since the atmosphere between the two teams on the ship was slightly tense, after leaving the dock, they naturally chose to separate and did not go together again.

Yunshan's eyes wandered between the two teams for a moment, showing hesitation, and finally she chose to follow one of the teams.

At the bustling and noisy intersection, Li Ming looked around, then pointed to a building opposite and said: "There is a bank there. Let's go and withdraw some money. With money, it will be much easier to get information."

Cecily and Xingmei naturally had no objection, so the three of them quickly crossed the busy street and came to the alley next to the bank.

Li Ming concentrated for a moment and then said: "Sixteen meters in front and eight meters underground."

When Xingmei heard this, she disappeared in a flash. Just a few seconds later, she reappeared with a heavy metal box in her hand.

"Are they all banknotes?" Li Ming asked.

"Yes, they are all banknotes with the highest denomination." Xingmei replied affirmatively.

Li Ming nodded and said, "That's enough, let's go."

In the next two hours, they traveled through the streets of the city in a chartered car and visited several large-scale detective investigation offices.

Money is more effective than anything else. Regarding the information about the Lawrence family, the three of them moved two large boxes back to the hotel.

Throughout the afternoon, they did not take a step out of the room and kept looking through the information.

The rise of the Lawrence family is legendary.

Going back three hundred years, his ancestor Lawrence Finite was a down-and-out viscount.

Although he had a fiefdom in his name, the land was small and barren, and due to poor management, the family's situation worsened to the point where they had to sell off the land in order to survive.

Just when Fenit fell into decadence and his life was bleak, the god of fate unexpectedly smiled on him.

Rumor has it that on a fateful day, he unexpectedly unearthed a treasure secretly buried by the previous dynasty in his seemingly hopeless fiefdom.

This discovery was like a windfall from heaven, which made him rise from poverty to a super rich man in Lanxi country overnight.

After gaining astonishing wealth, Fenit seemed to have been reborn. He abandoned the decadence and depression of the past, began to seriously manage the family business with a new attitude, and devoted himself to the torrent of business.

With his extraordinary wisdom, courage and newfound wealth, he gradually emerged in the business world, and his family's power also grew step by step, gradually occupying a pivotal position in Lanxi Kingdom.

However, just when the family's power was at its peak and its glory was endless, misfortune quietly followed it like a shadow.

The family seems to be shrouded in an invisible curse, and most of the children will be inexplicably infected with a strange disease that no one knows about.

This strange disease comes menacingly, ruthlessly destroying the children's young bodies, leaving them struggling in endless pain until they eventually wither away miserably.

In order to solve this strange disease that enveloped the family, the Lawrence family spared no effort and devoted everything.

They did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to invite the most famous doctors, wizards, and even those who were well versed in psychic arts from all over the world.

However, no effective solution has been found.

What's even more strange is that most of the talented and talented people hired by the Lawrence family with huge sums of money will inexplicably contract strange diseases until they die.

Since then, the Lawrence family has become famous for its mysterious curse, leaving horrific legends around the world.

If it were an ordinary family that encountered such a bad luck, it would probably have disappeared in the long river of history, without leaving even a trace.

But the Lawrence family is extremely wealthy and has inexhaustible wealth, so naturally they are not willing to sink into it.

So their way to fight the curse is very simple, which is to have more children and win through quantity.

For example, the patriarch of this generation, Lawrence Kraft, married twenty-eight wives in his life and gave birth to 76 children, but unfortunately, only 12 grew to adulthood.

Generally speaking, those families with a little bit of fame and status would try their best to avoid marrying the Lawrence family. After all, such a curse is too appalling.

However, in this world, poor people always make up the vast majority.

Under the temptation of the Lawrence family's huge sums of money, a large number of poor people come here every year to apply for the opportunity to become the companion of a family member.

Although hereditary misfortune always hangs over the Lawrence family like a dark cloud, it does not prevent the family from flourishing and prospering.

What is amazing is that every generation of heirs to the Lawrence family has shown extraordinary abilities and talents.

Not only have they achieved world-renowned achievements in business, they have also won honor and respect for the family in many fields such as culture, art, and technological innovation.
