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。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6VrOyjqGq

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。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvLH9cOh8U
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8oiDZYcjN
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡduIZ0P1I81
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。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqgyz11oJ8F
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYNGGMTnrP
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdgMJGse4o
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。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGpNEZpWE7q

189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qj4LeOcAr
「……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。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmyv4EG6b1

189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJX7CsOSyv
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFphDAMxTl0

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。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGOR5URNb8

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。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZSmBulfHI

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。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTXxehijaS
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqlGIwCmbk

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。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmeWE5S5jMD

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。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXA9cqjpXeI

「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。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVkXpLaOrx
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ946hOrlQVu

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。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPk3aFpd8An

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！189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc3BuEt7LaA
189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dEpey7UoK

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。189Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOERCWRxIxs
