ball magic

Chapter 170

Raphael really disliked these two jobs.

An apple that is rotten inside and out, an apple that is shiny on the outside and rotten on the inside.

are they something good

Since none of them are good things and you have the right to choose, why choose?

So Raphael gave his own choice, but he didn't say the phrase "I support you", but stuck in his throat, so he would not be able to say it in his next life.

retirement

It was a choice Hughes, 42, had never considered, but it was suddenly in front of him, and he claimed to be the son of one of the richest men in the world.

Hughes knew there was more than innocence behind his boy.

On the day Byron delivered the "rose" to him.All Rafa's words and deeds today proved this point once again.

"One of the richest men in the world"

Hughes asked, this is not a question, he knows his son's current property, he knows everything around Rafa, he can even understand why his son invested in movies.

Raphael nodded as a matter of course, and that gesture made Byron secretly click his tongue.

"It only takes a few years, five years, six years, when my name frequently appears on the rich list and our relationship is exposed, you know what will happen." Rafael said calmly .

Hughes was silent for two seconds.

The military intelligence system is mysterious, complex, and dark.

The only one who lives in the sun and needs to explain to the Queen, the Prime Minister, the Cabinet, the public is the Director.

If one day his and Rafael's identities are exposed, Rafael may be the one who bears more pressure, and he is also confident that he can protect Rafael.

But if Raphael is not just a star, but a top rich man standing on the wealth pyramid, all kinds of pressure will flock to him, public doubts will flock to him, and the questioning of the House of Commons will be aimed at him.

This is the power of wealth.

Wealth drives a man to extremes, making him question where his wealth comes from

Even he and Byron were curious about what was behind Rafael, why in a short period of time he could obtain wealth that countless players could not accumulate after retirement, let alone ordinary people

As Raphael's father, did he abuse his power?

The people don't need answers, because they just want to question and pull any top rich man off the altar.

"I will retire." Hughes thought for less than a minute before making the choice to make Byron open his mouth wide.

Raphael was finally satisfied, he turned his head to look at Byron who was still in shock, "What about him?"

Byron was a brilliant and multifaceted genius, but Raphael asked him not because of his talent and ability, but because of the importance of this guy to their father and son.

Rafa cared about him, even loved him.

Hughes also looked at Byron who was clutching his wet tie, and then showed a deep smile, "You have to ask him."

"I'm retiring," Byron said almost immediately

Although I don't know why Raphael seems to "favor" him, it doesn't prevent him from waving his bow tie, and said without hesitation, "I've had enough of these days, I should be an art collector, I should have my own Gallery, I should immerse myself in the ocean of art every day”

He was talking endlessly, and Hughes listened with a smile. Raphael obviously didn't have such "British" self-cultivation, so he rolled his eyes

just your taste

Ah.

Hughes listened carefully to every word he said, but he was obviously distracted, and it was so obvious that Byron even noticed

He didn't dare to question Raphael, so he poured all his anger on Hughes, "What are you thinking, can't I just open a gallery?"

"That's good." Hughes smiled, but his voice was a little sad, "I was just thinking about what I could do."

Byron shut up.

He glanced at Raphael secretly, and saw that his expression was still indifferent.

Byron was about to scratch his head with a big head when he realized that he was still holding on to the bow tie. His eyes lit up, he threw the tie away, and picked up the kid who wanted to grab it, but the kid gave him a kick in disgust. shout "rafa"

he seems to want to sue

bad boy

Raphael got up and took him, and Louis snuggled into his arms almost immediately, but looked at Hughes.

Raphael took out the water bottle from his bag and gave him the water bottle. After seeing that he drank the water obediently, he handed him the baby biscuit.

In the sound of Louis knocking the biscuits hard with his baby teeth, Raphael looked up at Hughes. He still couldn't say the nasty words that he had held back for a few minutes, which made him say bluntly, "I have invested in a company. , military contractors to be exact. International changes have been rapid since the end of the Cold War, and I think there’s a lot of money in that industry.”

Byron immediately listened attentively.

He had never taken military contractors seriously before, even if they were regular companies, they could be called private security forces at best, or mercenaries at worst.

But they are about to lose their jobs.

Unemployment in middle age, even early retirement, is not bad for money, which is not a good thing for a man who is in the heyday of his life, especially the son of this man who claims to be the top rich man.

Raphael's expression was cold, and he said in a more blunt tone, "Three of my partners are Americans, and I'm thinking about getting more jobs from the United States recently, but I think your experience, connections, and abilities can serve you well. Our small company helps a lot.”

Hughes smiled, not because of what the job meant, but because his son looked cute now.

simply too cute

so cute he wants to hug him

Byron glanced at him, wondering why he was just laughing, why didn't he speak, didn't he desperately want to reconcile with his son?

But he can only wipe Hughes' ass and hold on to this "olive branch"

"Nice idea, piracy is rampant in the Indian Ocean, I know a few states in Somalia that have business. They want to be able to produce a good coastguard. And the British Hydrographic Office, these guys have complained before G"

Raphael obviously didn't listen to what he said very carefully. He was wiping the hands of Louis who was playing with biscuits.

Hughes?

This man, who has never had a normal IQ after suddenly being stupid, was smiling contentedly watching this scene.

Byron ""

I don't want to talk anymore

He who likes to chatter closed his mouth, Hughes took over his work instead, and said to Raphael who was feeding Louis, "The work in my hands has to come to an end before it can be delivered. It may take a while, but at the very least One more year and I'll quit my job. But there's one thing I'd like to get your opinion on"

Raphael looked at him and stared deeply into his own eyes.

Hughes asks "Would Albert Anthony Hughes get you in trouble if he came back from the dead?"

Raphael patted the biscuit crumbs on his body, got up and picked up Louis, and looked at Hughes, "No one would think that their father is trouble."

Byron was stunned, he felt his eye sockets were a little hot, which made him quickly look at Hughes, and saw that Hughes had got up and accompanied Raphael to the door.

Say something

You spoil the vibe and don't take your chances

Byron stared at Hughes.

Raphael, who was exuding the aura of "I'm leaving", didn't even bother to look at the idiot whose eyes were about to twitch. As soon as his hand touched the doorknob, his back tensed quickly, because an arm wrapped half of his body. live.

This made Raphael sink his right shoulder almost like a conditioned reflex, retracted his elbow, exerted force with his elbow, and slammed back.

The moment Raphael exerted his strength, Hughes, who was standing behind him, did not let go of his hand on his son's shoulder, but took a step back, protecting his ribs with his fist.

Byron ""

Just when he didn't know what expression to make, Hughes spoke suddenly, and he called "Louis" to the cub in Raphael's arms in Raphael's angry little eyes.

Louis lifted his little butt in Raphael's arms almost immediately, pressed his uncle's shoulder, his little butt moved up and down like a caterpillar, and opened his hands to Hughes.

Raphael ""

He looked at Louis and Hughes with a wooden face, but shouted "rafa" in his mouth, and Hughes stretched out his hand to him.

Raphael handed the kid to him angrily.

Hughes laughed almost immediately. At the moment when he hugged Louis with one hand, he first kissed the kid's forehead affectionately, and then looked at him after smiling contentedly, "The skill is very good, I am very relieved."

Raphael raised his eyebrows, not believing his nonsense.

He folded his hands on his chest, watching the interaction between Hughes and Louis with cold gray-blue eyes, like an emotionless robot.

Byron didn't know why Hughes teased his son, but he came to wipe his ass habitually. As soon as he moved in front of Raphael, Raphael glanced at him, "Do you have time on May 5?"

Byron almost immediately realized what day it was, and he nodded sharply, "Of course there is."

"Send the address to my mobile phone later, and I will send you the ticket," Rafael said.

Of course Byron could get his number.

In the next second, Byron burst into a happy smile amidst the smell of jealousy in the room, "Of course I will send it to you as soon as possible."

Hughes couldn't help poking Louis's little face.

He thinks his son is bad.

Raphael left with the child in his arms, and Hughes didn't exchange a hug with his son when his figure disappeared in front of the elevator.

After Raphael left, Byron finally confirmed with him, "You really want to retire."

"Correct."

Byron was puzzled, "You can't even become the director, how do you restore your status?"

Hughes pulled off his tie and walked to the bar, without looking back at the moment, "negotiate terms with our next director if he wants to be the only candidate."

Byron was silent, somewhat sympathetic to Richard Dearlove.

Let's not talk about the difficulty of restoring Hughes' identity after he was promoted, just say that Hughes is a son with a lot of influence, and the next director of i6 will inevitably have to meet the saliva from the foreign minister and the cabinet.

Hughes turned around lightly, handed the glass in his hand to Byron, "for retirement"

Byron knew he was in a good mood, he raised his glass and said "cheers"

The author has something to say

After drinking, Byron asked, "Do you really want to work for your son?"

"A partner." Hughes corrected his wording.

"Give your son a partner"

"I'm honored to be able to do some tiny work for him in retirement."

After two rounds of drinking, Hughes suddenly looked towards the shuttered window.

His solemn expression made Byron instantly alert. When he took out a small object from his pocket, he looked at Hughes with a difficult expression two seconds later, "Your son is surrounded by reporters and hasn't left yet."

Hughes ""

It was very difficult for his son to come to see him, and he should be grateful.

This country’s game day is really a good day. The president scored 5 goals in two games, Sanmiao won 2 games, China 50 Maldives, the most commendable thing is that I scored 40 Mexico in the first half, playing for the young player Lautaro Martin of the International Ness' hat-trick also made a point, which is earth-shattering.
