On the carriage to Edinburgh, Anthony and Count Silvio are talking, one of the last important conversations before officially entering the Hilton family.

"Mr. Anthony, thank you for choosing the Hilton family. There is still a long way to go from here to Edinburgh, why don't you take this time and let me introduce you to the rights and treatment of the Hilton family's guests? Now that Antony's status as a guest or enshriner has been preliminarily determined, Count Silvio also addresses Anthony with a more formal "sir".

Anthony waved his hand and said, "There's no urgency. Don't you want to know why I chose the Hilton family over the Earl of Bealzot? ”

"Oh, why?" The Count asked. Of course, he did want to know why.

Anthony lifted the curtain of the carriage window with one hand, looked in the direction of the town, sighed leisurely, and said, "Although I was born in a noble family, I should be very different from ordinary nobles. My grandfather split from the main family early on, to my father's birth, to my coming into the world. In our vein, it has always been a single pass. ”

His words seemed a little out of place, but the Earl and his son just listened quietly, and did not speak.

Anthony continued: "The advantage of being a single lineage is that we don't have as many intrigues and struggles for power as ordinary aristocratic families. The relationship between the family is very harmonious and the relationship is very harmonious. I have never experienced the cold or even bloody battles between brothers among those aristocratic clansmen that I have heard from books and other people's mouths.

"During this time, the two Counts have spoken to me quite a bit, both publicly and privately, and they all want me to serve in your respective families, and the promised rewards and rights are quite generous. To tell you the truth, the conditions promised by Count Bearzot are even more generous. ”

Count Silvio was in a hurry and was about to explain. Anthony raised his hand lightly and said, "Don't worry, Earl, I don't mean anything else. In fact, you should all know very well that these things don't mean much to me. Compared to the last time I met the two Silver Fighters in Hengling City, I had one big difference: my age.

"I'm much younger than them, or even the vast majority of Silver Fighters. This means that I have a longer time to grow. Of course, things outside of the body can also help with growth. But not modestly, with my strength, where can't I get these things? What I need is an environment that is conducive to the development of my strength. At the very least, it can't be a hindrance to my growth.

"Since you have received the money given by others, you naturally have to do things for others. And the enhancement of my own strength is also very beneficial to the owners I serve. However, self-cultivation takes up time, and dealing with the affairs of the owner also requires distraction, and the two sides may not be able to agree on the same view.

"But that's what I value the most.

"In the family of Count Bearzot, there is already an Alfredo Silver Warrior. If I had been in the middle of it, I would have had a lot of friction with Mr. Alfredo in the future. The Count of Bealzot, on the other hand, spoke to me many times, but never mentioned it in this regard.

"In the Hilton family, there is also a silver fighter. I heard Viscount Owen say that he is the last patriarch of your family, so he is not a guest secretary, and there should be no problems in this regard. This is one of them.

"The second and most important point. In the crisis of my Bruce family, the way Viscount Owen handled it made me quite impressed. I know that the Earl made a special trip to our remote town for this matter, and he was not worried about the Viscount's ability to handle things. But what I would say is that if the Earl were in charge of the whole thing, I might end up choosing the Hiltons. However, this favor score is probably going to be greatly discounted. ”

After listening to the words of this old and young man, the earl glanced sideways at his son, whose face was flushed with excitement, and his heart was also full of feelings for a while.

Anthony's words are rambling and sound a little messy. But the Earl, who was old and sophisticated, could easily hear what he meant.

His long compilation of this general discussion can be summed up in one sentence: Emphasis on feelings, not interests.

In fact, the two counts have always ignored what Anthony's age means to himself. They all started more from the perspective of their own families, calculating what kind of benefits this new star of the empire with great potential could bring to their families. But for Anthony, what does he get for playing for his family? Belongings? All kinds of conveniences in cultivation?

Anthony's "no profit" does not mean that these "external objects" are not important, but that they do not need to be considered. As Anthony said, with his strength and potential, he can't get these things anywhere. Even if he served a grand duke, or even the royal family, he could be treated as a guest. Can the so-called "extraneous objects" be missing?

There is no need to think much about interests, and he doesn't need to worry about it at this stage. Then, he can have other appeals. For example, a comfortable living environment, cultivation conditions, and so on.

Fights between nobles and factions within the family were inevitable, and Anthony didn't want to be left alone; And on the ship of the Hilton family, you have to contribute to the continuous progress of this ship. This is all a necessity that does not need to be stated. But how to grasp the degree of it is now impossible to predict. The only thing that can get a glimpse of the clues and speculate is the character of the person.

In the handling of the crisis of the Bruce family, according to the earl's original intention, it is necessary to use the connections and power of the Hilton family to solve the problem within the county town. In any case, Count Bearzot must not be aware of it and interfere with it anyway.

This method of dealing with it is actually that Hilton wants to eat alone and does not give Count Bealzot any chance. For the Hilton family, it is undoubtedly the best choice.

However, this is not the case for the Bruce family.

Not to mention the descendants of the Bruce family, they are still in the hands of the Francisco family, even if the Hilton family is powerful, it is difficult to do anything. The most important thing is that behind the Francisco family is Count Bealzot, a force of counts that is not inferior to the Hilton family. Whether for the sake of substantial interests or for the sake of the dignity of the nobility, after this incident, the Count of Bearzot could not rest on his laurels. From now on, the Bruce family didn't want to have a stable life.

Such a result is definitely not what Anthony wants.

According to Owen's method, let Count Bearzot personally intervene and clean up his forces, and the matter was resolved satisfactorily, leaving no trouble.

It is clear which of the two methods is better or worse.

Count Silvio couldn't help but sigh that this matter was really done by his son. In fact, an old fox like the Earl, with his grasp of people's hearts, should not have such a big miscalculation. It's just that he is indeed a little too young to see the IQ and temperament of seventeen-year-old Anthony, and he has always been worried about being cut off by Count Bealzot, so he will inevitably behave a little bit of a quick success.

Fortunately, in the end, Anthony was successfully pulled into the Hilton family's chariot.

However, we will still have a long time together in the future, but we must pay attention. Anthony's words are not only a declaration, but also a warning. If the Hilton family still behaves with their own petty calculations, ignoring Anthony's interests and feelings. Then, I am afraid that the fate of the two sides will not last long.

In the final analysis, the relationship between the two parties is like that of a young man and woman in a relationship, paying attention to your love and my willingness. If one of the parties feels uncomfortable, they can terminate the relationship at any time. Therefore, if a calculation like the earl's happens again in the future, and Anthony finds out again, it is hard to guarantee that he will not be angry with this high-end home buyer who was finally invited back.
