穿著海藍軍裝，留有一頭酒紅長髮的女子坐在黑檀木製的大桌前，此刻正惡狠狠的瞪著站在窗邊，背對她的老人。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOSmiIO1jr

負責開車的老管家偷瞄在後照鏡中一動也不動，只是凝視領帶的巴特夫，眼角不禁勾起。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhVhPgAxlm
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjs9RIawLXm
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP25xKjn7rS
還是跟以前一樣，不會打領帶呢！老人正要開口詢問是否需要幫忙時，巴特夫已經打上領帶。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDolqg0F3m
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXlOmrznzs4
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf7GAyygXO8
老管家有些失落，但知道他已經不是當年那個老是要他偷偷幫忙打理儀容的小孩，心裡不禁泛起欣慰。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxLOkcDgUG

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzn9zJHBTc
「……小夫少爺、不，應該說是蘭基中將。」老管家出聲。自從在機場見到巴特夫後，他一直找不到話題開口。眼見即將抵達目的地，還要打理莊園雜事的他或許再也找不到機會跟這位 14 年不見的小少爺說說話。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WP5p5sRhK

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf60wFXjbLR
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaTWELuEoN2

巴特夫沉默不語。轎車駛進莊園，保安在確認他們身分後，打開門讓車子進去。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1yxx2VrlO

今天是世界前五大建設公司──「蘭星集團」成立 80 周年的紀念日。集團現任總裁──麥考夫 ‧ 蘭基廣發邀請函給熟識官員、合夥人和部屬，讓大家一同見證集團的光輝。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcyDqKzt76U
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7Y8otEABu

同時他也將在紀念舞會上，宣布下一任執行長候選人，而巴特夫也收到了邀請函。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloBGTw71mw

與家人長達十四年沒聯絡的他，昨晚收到寄件人為父親的邀請函後，立即知會戰神殿，隻身從「象牙基地塔」趕回歡鴿。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtqJjNdnt9
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwzQvvILVa
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTl3XNSePLg

巴特夫在魏洛爺爺帶領下來到大廳。期間完全沒人認出他就是蘭基中將兼蘭星集團總裁獨子。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFauUigsbPQ

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Qr5aKK6Y0
巴特夫和大葆士鮮少在媒體前露面。雖然不像已經不是本人的大葆士宣傳照那麼誇張，但巴特夫秀氣外貌對戰神殿公關部而言依舊不甚理想，對外宣傳照仍舊躲不過被調整的命運。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsztFleoxd

「麻煩您了。」巴特夫點頭。他往老管家前進方向看去，只見有一小群被簇擁著的人在高聲闊論。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7MBh1EaNph
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuv2JomqEyN
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtAvpBkT0D9

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOlkY7w7C6
等待過程中，一名套著綠色脖套，全身造型跟巴特夫如出一轍的眼鏡小男孩在經過他旁邊時猛地停下，側過頭毫不客氣的打量他。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjQ0RUzj8O
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo5g4PytvYg

巴特夫瞄了他一眼。小男孩突然睜大眼，指著他外套衣袖下露出一角的魔方腕帶，劇抖不停！147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrTWe0ImWKh
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxU5lCWqHjy

「各位晚安，非常感謝您們抽空參與敝公司的紀念舞會。」現場響起一道洪亮男音，只見一名身著灰紋西裝的捲髮男人拿著麥克風，從群眾中走出。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS43kZHFGnf
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1otpDrEJwh

男人有著和巴特夫一樣的神情，佈滿皺紋的眼角閃現凌人目光，視線直直盯著巴特夫所站方向。147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyKljox81i
