Chapter 505: The Tireless Rich

"Don't be so nervous, this is just a small gift from me to Your Excellency. Leitch only smiled slightly, unimpressed by Baron Karen's nervousness.

"Little gift, this is 100,000 gold coins!" Hearing this, Baron Karen couldn't help but take a slight breath, his expression was a little incredulous and excited-as the son of the Earl of Fury Sword, the baron of the Lei Man court, he had never seen a larger amount of gold coins, but the problem was that those gold coins never belonged to him, and the 100,000 gold coins in front of him were within reach!

But soon, Baron Karen regained his solemn appearance, shook his head firmly and said: "It was my obligation to send a letter to Lord Viscount, and as for the hard work, I first teleported to Abyss City through the Legendary Magic Array, and then rushed here from Abyss City. ”

Immediately after, I saw Baron Karen grinning and said, "And for me, being able to meet Lord Viscount in person is the biggest reward!"

Seeing this, Angelina and Susan, who were bystanders, couldn't help but shake their heads secretly......

"It is an honour to be held in such esteem by His Excellency Karen. But I still have to tell you the truth - as a man, you can't do without gold coins on hand!" As he spoke, Leitch's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the other party, "Your Excellency Karen shouldn't have forgotten the humiliation she suffered at the Flame Chamber of Commerce three months ago, right?"

"Three months ago?!"

Leitch's reminder obviously caused Baron Karen to fall into some kind of memory, his fists were clenched fiercely unconsciously, his eyes gradually became bloodshot, and there was a strong look of unwillingness and anger between his eyebrows.

Fortunately, this state did not last long in Baron Karen, and Baron Karen quickly restrained his emotions, and then looked at Leitch with a rather complicated look and said: "I didn't expect Lord Viscount to even know about this little thing that happened to me, a nobody?!"

"Nobody, No, Lord Karen, you must not underestimate yourself! Maybe you really don't have much to pay attention to at the moment, but don't forget, the Aurora family behind you is one of the few earl families in the entire Federation! And your father, His Excellency Hao Lun, Earl of Fury Sword, enjoys the honor of being the first brave man in Lei Man's territory! As the favored youngest son of Count Fury Sword, these are destined to be inseparable from you!"

Noticing that Baron Karen's eyes were becoming more and more complicated when he looked at him, Leqi only smiled slightly: "But don't get me wrong, Lord Karen, I didn't deliberately send someone to secretly spy on you, but the Black Wind Chamber of Commerce also has a store in Thunderman City, and the Flame Chamber of Commerce is one of the biggest opponents of this Chamber of Commerce, so all kinds of news about it will naturally fall to my ears." ”

Hearing Leitch say this, Baron Karen couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As a nobleman, he also knew the dirt between nobles and nobles, but he still didn't want the people he respected to use those methods on himself, especially his father and family!

Speaking of Baron Karen's 'humiliation' three months ago, it was actually not a big deal - it was nothing more than that he fell in love with a beautiful slave in the auction house of the Raging Flame Chamber of Commerce, and just as he was about to pay for it, he was forcibly inflated by another noble child who had always been at odds with him!

But the matter was not over, after the other party bought the slave girl, he first played with it himself for a while, and then even gave it to his fox friends and dogs to play with! What is even more excessive is that in the end, the noble son even sold the slave girl he was tired of to a resistance tavern on the docks in the lower city, and became a 'part-time' escort girl, earning a small amount of pitiful copper coins every day on those stinking dock coolies or gangsters!

There is no doubt that the son of the aristocrat is a typical scumbag. Although his series of fiddling with the slave girl were within his legal control, in the eyes of the people in Baron Karen's 'circle', the other party was undoubtedly humiliating Baron Karen!

Although many times, Baron Karen couldn't help but draw his sword and rush forward, slashing to death the bastard who deliberately showed off in front of him! But he still held back, because he knew that once he did this, not only would he end up in prison, but even his father and family would bring a lot of trouble! After all, although the other party was looking for fault, he only overpowered him in terms of money, and did not use other shady means, and he also had to follow this unspoken rule!

However, when it comes to 'comparison', his status as the son of an earl is naturally not inferior to that of the other party, but compared to the rich, Baron Karen is really a little embarrassed - as a member of the noble children, compared to others, he really does not have a lot of money!

In this regard, Baron Karen has never complained about his father - although the Aurora family has more than 100,000 square kilometers of territory, it also has 3,000 elite angry sword and shield soldiers to maintain on a daily basis, in addition to maintaining law and order in the territory, repairing roads, repairing waterways and other expenses, and a considerable part of the revenue of the territory must also be distributed to those people in the side branches...... Although Count Fury Sword himself is a brave and warlike lord, his talent in internal affairs is undoubtedly a little lacking, and he belongs to the type that is not enterprising enough and is not very conservative! And Count Fury Sword is also more frugal! So Karen, who was born in the Earl's family, compared to ordinary people, his standard of living is absolutely very high, but he has never experienced what it means to be 'generous'!

So in the face of the financial humiliation of the noble son, although Baron Karen was extremely angry and unwilling in private, he still chose to forbear......

Now that Leitch has mentioned this matter again, the anger that Baron Karen has been forcibly suppressing in his heart still erupts uncontrollably! However, although Baron Karen is young, his will is very firm, and once he agrees with something, he will never change it easily!

I saw that Baron Karen still shook his head and said: "I do fantasize about one day being able to stand on the height of money and trample that bastard under my feet! But I want gold coins, and I will earn them through my own hands and wisdom, and I will never accept such a gift for nothing, which will make me feel more like a charity!"

Ricky wanted to send this large amount of gold to the other party, it was by no means a whim, but after careful consideration-no matter what the facts were, in the eyes of others, he Viscount Black Wind was a lord subordinate to Lei Man's territory!

But seriously speaking, in the system of Thunderman's territory, Leitch does not have any powerful allies that can really be relied on, and he can be regarded as isolated! Of course, this kind of 'isolation' state is not all bad for Leqi, at least in this way, it is easier for him to gain the trust of Duke Princeton! After all, whether it is on Earth or in Andrew's high-level magic plane, I believe that no matter which monarch he is, most of them don't like to form gangs under his subordinates!

However, if a small number of strong foreign aid can be established, it will naturally be better for Leitch! And the powerful faction with three thousand angry sword shield soldiers, the Lord of Aurora Count Angry Sword, is a good choice in Leitch's eyes! Of course, to build a relationship between the two sides, a suitable opportunity is needed, and now that Baron Karen's initiative has arrived, it can be regarded as taking the initiative to send this 'opportunity' to the door, and Leitch naturally has to grasp it well!

Speaking of Baron Karen, as Leitch's brain-dead fan, he doesn't have to go through a lot of trouble - if you think about it from the level of a 'fan', instead of giving the other party something real, such as 100,000 gold coins, it may not be more effective than some 'fancy' but meaningless things, such as the watch that Leitch gave to the other party at the same time!

But Leitch didn't think so. If he really thinks so, and does so, then he undoubtedly does not put the other party on the same level of telling as himself, but more as a 'child' who can play and fool at will, or a 'mentally retarded' or something like that!

However, just as children will eventually grow up one day, there are no eternal 'fans' in this world; even if they are 'fans', they will one day look at the problem from their own point of view! And at that time, once these former 'children' suddenly discover that they have been being played with all along, then their so-called 'smart deeds' in the past will immediately become their own cleverness!

Now, at the very beginning, Leitch put the other party on the same level as himself, gave the other party enough respect, and real benefits!

"If Lord Viscount really wants to help me, then it is better to let me work in the Black Wind Chamber of Commerce, or the Iron Vault! Maybe I may not be able to do well, but I will definitely work hard! If I do well by then, gold coins will naturally no longer be a problem!" Baron Karen suddenly looked at Leitch with excitement and anticipation.

To be honest, Baron Karen had never had such an idea before, because before he really came into contact with Leitch, he was more likely to put Leitch on an unattainable height, more in admiration! But now, he suddenly discovered that the original Lord Viscount was so approachable, and even he could get closer to him, such as joining his career!

Thinking like this, Baron Karen couldn't help but become more and more excited for a while!

But who knows, Lei Qi only groaned slightly for a moment, but shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this won't work." ”

Baron Karen couldn't help but look disappointed when Leitch refused, but then he looked at Leitch unwillingly and said: "Does Lord Viscount think that I have no experience in this area before?

"It's not. The reason why I rejected you is not because you are inexperienced. As you said, I think whether a person can do a good job depends more on his attitude! And through your eyes, I believe that you are the kind of person who is willing to work hard!"

"In that case, why do you refuse me, Lord Viscount?!" Baron Karen asked, while delighted, and couldn't help but become more and more unwilling.

"Actually, it's not because of you, it's because of your father!" Leitch said lightly, looking at Baron Karen inexplicably.

"My father?!" This made Baron Karen quite puzzled, "I entered the Chamber of Commerce or the Iron Vault under the command of my lord, what does it have to do with my father?!"

"Do you think your father doesn't have many friends, especially aristocratic friends?" said Retch, who suddenly asked a question that sounded irrelevant.

Hearing this, Baron Karen thought carefully for a moment, and then saw him smile slightly bitterly: "Maybe." ”

It is precisely because his father does not have many 'allies' that he makes himself seem isolated and difficult in Lei Man City, and is often targeted by the sons and heirs of nobles who are not dealing with his father!

"You shouldn't be upset about that. Noticing the change in Baron Karen's expression, Leitch glanced at him and said lightly, "You should understand that the status and power of your Aurora family, and even the future, only depend on one person's attitude towards your family - that person is the Grand Duke! Your father, as the first brave man under the command of the Grand Duke, believes that the Grand Duke will never want to see him have too many allies worthy of 'dependence'! In my opinion, the Grand Duke thinks that the most important thing for your family to rely only on him is that your father is more worthy of his trust!" And your father may have understood this because he kept himself 'isolated'. ”

Hearing Leitch say so many twists and turns, Baron Karen couldn't help but be dumbfounded for a while! Then he couldn't help but feel ashamed, in the past he had secretly complained that because of his father's 'loneliness', he had indirectly caused himself a lot of trouble, but now it seems that his father also had his own troubles!

When I thought that my father was carrying the burden of the whole family, he also had to resist all kinds of pressure from other nobles and grand dukes, and that he was only receiving some small reproaches, he secretly blamed his father, he really shouldn't have been!

While Baron Karen felt more and more guilty in his heart, he couldn't help but feel more and more grateful to Leitch for waking him up all this - these truths may not be understood by anyone, but not everyone can be like Lord Viscount, who has poured out his heart and lungs for such a 'stranger'! Lord Viscount is indeed worthy of being a virtuous person who can put forward the 'Eight Virtues of Knighthood'! Only like Lord Viscount can he be named a true knight!

"Thank you, Lord Viscount, for the sake of Lord Viscount and my father, then I'd better keep it as it is—" Although it was reasonable, it could still be seen that this Baron Karen was actually quite depressed.

"Haha, there's no need to care too much about this, as long as you have an enterprising heart, you can shine everywhere!" As he spoke, Leitch suddenly smiled mysteriously, "And, if you really don't want this little gift, I can give you another one - how about I give your father three thousand crossbows?"

Seeing Baron Karen looking at him in surprise, Leitch smiled faintly and said, "Of course, it's not provided for free, but it's no problem to give the lowest discount!"

"Thank you, Lord Viscount!"
