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。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgp2hv0ARTv

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。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNC02KDxBE
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡySeu1vTcaQ
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjSUEi6tgVM
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。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6zU8HZvyT
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJSSAYcMrc0
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIN3dbx1iwz
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。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOG4JOxIFfo

183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4lIOMUPvl5
「……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。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7agZmgHEd

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。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIh5y22cHOq
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqkaeLJ3Iq

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。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQalmI6UYBq

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。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYDgz996uh6
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ErsA2ucoH

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。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Ddh7pSAsy

183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXnRPLlTrU
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。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqTNcRzHp7

「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。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJh1SGY0FZ
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcoyP1WLVPt

183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXWozQGZFY
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。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSPYSAtaeS

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！183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvCq0AmpPzR
183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdWaaARD4a

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。183Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDJYTZ1kv7
