Big Capitalist

When the old hunter Adrian said with difficulty, "Liz and I cannot have children," his voice was like broken glass, harsh and fragile. At this moment, he seemed to have become a deflated ball, instantly losing all his momentum. Liz's eyes were full of shock and disbelief. She never thought that her husband would reveal the secret they had hidden for more than ten years at such a moment.

"The truth about how we found Ed and Ace..." Adrian continued, his voice low and heavy. He frankly told the fact that he and his wife were infertile and how they found the two children in the mountains. He always thought that Ed and Ace might be children from noble families. If Ed really became Baron Famion's adopted son, perhaps he could really find the position that should belong to him.

Miss Yufei showed an expression of disbelief, and Conan also looked at Ed's family in shock. However, Baron Famion did not show too much surprise. In fact, he vaguely guessed all this the first time he saw Ed, because Ed looked completely different from his parents. Whether in appearance or temperament, it was difficult to associate him with the hunter family.

Baron Famion fell into deep thought, wondering what the old hunter Adrian meant by his words, and whether he was making a declaration to abandon his son.

At this moment, Ed interrupted his father hurriedly: "Father, what are you talking about!"

The old hunter Adrian's eyes were full of guilt. He realized that he was wrong to hide this matter, but now that Ed had grown up, it was time for him to know some truths.

In fact, this was not a one-sided concealment. Smart Ed had already noticed it. He said firmly: "I knew about this when I was a child. My brother also knew it, but we never asked deeply because in our hearts you and mother are our only parents. But what is father doing now? Do you wish you had six parents?"

Ed's words were like a sharp knife that pierced Adrian's heart. He realized that he was not providing his son with more choices, but was inadvertently increasing Ed's burden. The old hunter Adrian hurriedly explained that he did not mean that, he was just worried that Ed would give up the opportunity to pursue his dream because of them.

However, it is this selfless love that will make Ed bear a heavier burden. The old hunter Adrian loves Ed so much that he only wants to give Ed everything he has, but because of this, he inadvertently ignores the fact that Ed was abandoned by his parents twice.

Ed's tears could not stop flowing. Seeing his son crying, Adrian realized his mistake. He hugged Ed tightly and murmured, "I'm sorry, my child." His heart was torn, and guilt and pain were intertwined.

The reception room was silent. Baron Famion and his family watched with bated breath, fearing to disturb this touching scene. The baron knew how difficult it was to raise children. As a father, he could understand the feelings of Ed's parents. They were willing to give everything for their children. With such a family background, what else could they worry about? Ed and his parents' qualities were like bright diamonds, tough and beautiful, shining with unparalleled light.

At this time, Ke Nan was in tears, and although Master Fei Qi was a little calmer, he was also trembling slightly.

Ed is well aware of the truth that "If a child is born but not raised, you can return it even if you cut off a finger; if a child is born and raised, you can return it even if you cut off a head; but if you never give birth to a child and raise him, it will be difficult to return it in a hundred lifetimes."

If he had to exchange his parents' name for wealth and glory, he would rather give up that so-called dream without hesitation.

At this moment, Ed's heart was filled with determination and relief. He knew that although the future was full of uncertainties, no matter what he chose, his parents' love would always be his strongest support.

Baron Farmien did not mention the matter of adopting Ed as his son. Instead, he took Ed's parents into the Baron's mansion. Under the care of the head of the family, Ed's family lived well and enjoyed the long-lost family warmth. However, his father looked guilty every day, and it would probably take a long time for him to recover.

Time always passed by inadvertently. During this period, with the publication of the Aize Arcane Newspaper, Ed and Conan also learned more information about the Arcane Academy. They also successfully enrolled in the Arcane Academy under the operation of Baron Famion.

Ed and Conan were walking in town. After knowing each other for a whole year, they had the first brief moment of freedom and joyful time together without any scruples.

Ed and Conan walked into the city governed by Duke Rudius, their hearts filled with mixed emotions. Ed stepped into the city, as if he was in a dreamland. The surrounding scenery was no longer familiar. The buildings on both sides of the street were towering into the sky, and the ancient stone walls were covered with moss, revealing a sense of vicissitudes of time. The streets were crowded with pedestrians, and the shouts of vendors and the laughter of children intertwined into a lively symphony.

On the main street, the sun shines through the lush shadows of the trees, and the ground is twinkling with light spots, like stars dancing on the earth. The street vendors are busy hawking their wares, and the air is filled with the scent of freshly baked bread and spices. Ed can't help but think of his past life, and his heart is warm. However, time flies, and the changes in the city make him feel a little strange.

Just as they were immersed in their memories, they heard a familiar sound of music, as pleasant as a spring. "You love me, I love you, honey snow time is sweet~" This melody caught Ed's attention. He and Ke Nan looked at each other, and then ran towards the direction of the sound excitedly.

Not far away, Ed saw his brother Feiqi standing at the door of Mixue Time Milk Tea Shop, waving a baton in his hand, enthusiastically directing the decoration work of the Beggar Chicken Stewed Meat Shop next door. Feiqi's face was filled with a confident smile, and he seemed to be immersed in his career.

"Brother Feiqi!" Ed yelled and rushed over, followed by Ke Nan. Feiqi heard the voice, turned around, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

"Ed! Conan! You're here!" Feiqi said excitedly, then pointed to the entrance of Mixue Shiguang and said proudly: "Look, this place is already full of customers, business is booming!"

Ed looked over and saw a long line in front of the Mixue Time Beverage Shop. Customers rushed to buy drinks, and the sound of laughter and conversation intertwined, as if the whole city was infected by this craze. Feiqi recently successfully won the agency position of Mixue Time and Beggar Chicken Stewed Meat Shop in the Dukedom of Rudeus, and quickly started the business.
