Chapter 20 Response
Of course, Baron Holysandro would not be intimidated by a young man's words, even if the young man seemed to be quite impressive.
Anthony's heart moved, and he glanced at Owen thoughtfully.
Owen also looked at him and smiled calmly.
Anthony turned back to Baron Holessandro and shouted, "Give me the man who takes you, get out of town and go to your Count." I'll be here waiting for you to come back. Now, get out of here! ”
There was a lot of noise between the two just now, and many people in the house had already run out. Anthony's eyes swept and he saw the figure of the old butler and the patriarch.
If there is anyone in this world who will worry Anthony, it may be that only the old housekeeper and grandson are left. Since the old man is safe and sound, there is no need to worry about the loss of other property. Whoever swallows it will have to spit it out twice as much!
Baron Holysandro, with the support of his men, quickly left with all his entourage. Both Anthony and Owen could have guessed that he would go to his earl's backer.
The old butler came over excitedly, looked at Anthony carefully, and said in a trembling voice: "The young master is fine, the young master is back, okay, good ......"
The old butler was originally a personal retinue of Anthony's grandfather, and later followed the branch to settle in this town and became a butler. He watched Anthony's father be born, grow up, and get married, and he watched Anthony be born and grow. He always kindly watched Anthony mischievous, and sometimes had to blame him for the troubles. After learning about Anthony's "double waste wood" physique, he would silently cry sadly; Anthony made a splash in the adult assessment, and after the shocking reversal, he burst into tears with excitement.
It can be said that the old butler is Anthony's second grandfather, the closest and most trustworthy person in the world today.
The patriarch slowed down, so as not to disturb the old and young in front of him. He also needed time to gather his mood and sort out his thoughts.
Faced with the danger of extermination, he only had the idea of preserving the bloodline of the Bruce family and sent someone to warn Anthony. As for what would happen in the future, he didn't think about it at all. In a mortal situation like that time, "later" was a luxury word.
Who knows, once the situation suddenly changed. This young man, who has always been at odds with the main family, swept in with a thousand thunderbolts, kicking away the Francisco family, who were overwhelming them.
He was full of vigilance at the time, and even prepared to strangle the branch boy in advance, but now he has become the savior of the family who can turn the tide.
After the crisis, how to deal with the relationship between him and Anthony, the main family and the branches?
"Patriarch."
He was hesitating when he suddenly heard Anthony greet him and nodded.
"Anthony ......"
The big stone that had been hanging in the patriarch's heart was finally put down. I wanted to open my mouth to speak, and called his name, but then I didn't know what to say.
For the patriarch, Anthony was also very entangled. Based on what they had done to their own lineage in the past, and what they were going to do to them, Anthony would have blasted them to the scum. However, when faced with the crisis of extermination, he chose to put aside his personal grudges and report to himself.
In any case, this move added a heavy weight to the balance in Anthony's heart for him and the main family.
The door was not the place to speak, and the group entered the room and sat down in the small conference room on the second floor.
Something so big has happened, and we need to gather around and discuss how to deal with the situation in the future. Although the current crisis has been resolved, it seems that there is an even bigger storm brewing behind it, and it is absolutely impossible to ignore it.
They exchanged information for a moment, and soon turned the discussion to the Francisco family.
"Young Master, you shouldn't have let Ho Lai Sandro go so easily just now. After all, he is the eldest son of the patriarch of the Francisco family, the ironclad heir to the next patriarch, and has a pivotal position in the clan. With him in hand, we have bargaining chips. Of all the people present, the old butler was the only one who dared to point out so directly that Anthony was not.
"Yes, if what Ho Lessandro said is true, and they really have an earl behind them as a backer, and the matter is even more tricky." Now that the old butler has risen, the patriarch has also raised his own concerns.
Anthony smiled slightly, but did not speak.
Owen next to him interjected proudly: "Don't worry, that little baron can't turn over the big waves." It's good that he doesn't go to his backer, and if he really dares to go, the Francisco family will have to shed a layer of skin if they don't die. “
Except for Anthony, everyone was confused. Listening to the meaning of his words, why did the Francisco family find a backer to come forward, but why should they be unlucky?
Seeing that there were no new opinions from the crowd, Anthony spoke: "That's all for today." Everyone is tired, go back and have a good rest. You don't have to do anything these days, just wait for the news. ”
Everyone had no objection and dispersed.
Owen was a guest from afar and stayed at Anthony's house. The patriarch can't return to the county now, so he lives here for the time being.
The next few days were uneventful. It was as if nothing had happened, and it was as if another bigger storm was brewing.
The patriarch and the old housekeeper waited and looked forward to it with worry and fear. I don't know if I'm expecting nothing to happen, or if I'm expecting something to happen.
Owen was in a good mood, and thought it was a tourist, begging Anthony to take him around town. Anthony is also someone's "guard", of course, such a small thing is not easy to refuse, so he has to take him on a tour all day long.
The town is in the middle of nowhere, so there's really nothing fun to do. After the initial novelty wore off, Owen lost his interest. From the third day, he stayed at Anthony's house.
The patriarch and the old butler were helpless for the two young men. It's too heartless, it's almost a big disaster, and I'm idle all day long, and I don't hurry to think about countermeasures.
They didn't come up with any countermeasures themselves.
If there is really an earl on the other side, then any countermeasures are empty talk. The gap is too big.
Perhaps, the only turning point was with Viscount Owen, who came back with Master Anthony. Owen had the title of viscount at a young age, and his family must have been a great family. If he can invite the elders of the clan to mediate in person, this matter will be very promising.
From this point of view, Young Master Anthony took Viscount Owen on a tour of the mountains and rivers, perhaps this was the idea. It's a pity that small places can't be compared with those big cities, and the Viscount has lost interest in less than two days.
While everyone was waiting anxiously, the expected group of people arrived in the town. Surprisingly, the specs are a bit too scary.
The Count actually came over in person! And, it's two!
