Chapter 27: The Aftermath

The next day, the entire aristocratic circles of Edinburgh City were filled with rumors of what had happened yesterday at the Hilton's welcome reception for the new offering.

This incident is too dramatic, it can really be regarded as a strange peak, unexpected.

First of all, the Hilton Patriarch, Count Silvio, had preached a few days earlier, and their new offer was a silver warrior who was only sixteen years old. As soon as this news came out, many people were stunned. Everyone was talking privately about the fact that the Count Silvio was blowing nonsense again. Isn't it a business trick that I just came up with?

However, yesterday's events confirmed that the teenager named Anthony was indeed a supreme genius, as the Hilton family claimed. Moreover, his strength is far more than the Silver Beginner Rank.

As soon as this news came out, the nobles in the city were in an uproar.

This Hilton family is really lucky, and they can find such a young genius. Such a genius should be more suitable for our family, and a nouveau riche earl family like Hilton is worthy of this Mr. Anthony.

Then, there are all kinds of envy, jealousy, and hatred.

However, there's more to come.

The core member of the Hilton family, the third-generation eldest grandson, and the second heir to the next patriarch, actually openly questioned and ridiculed the young man's offering at the reception. The new worshippers angrily took action and severely injured the stupid straw bale, and it is said that 6 ribs were broken. The attending doctor said that if you don't have three or two months, don't think about getting out of bed.

In order to stop Mr. Anthony, the former patriarch of Hilton launched an attack on him in an attempt to besiege Wei and save Zhao. But Mr. Anthony slapped him the back later, and was unscathed except for a torn shirt. This strength, everyone present was dumbfounded.

Well, less than two days after the new offering came in, there was such a big conflict with the family, and it was impossible for this worship to stay in Hilton. It seems that the peerless genius of this level, the Hilton family, who lacks a background, is really blessed.

The blessing that others can't grasp, that's our chance. Such a great opportunity should not be missed.

As a result, all the nobles who thought they were qualified to accept Anthony waited at the gate of the Hilton Mansion, waiting for Anthony to come out.

On the east side of the Hilton Mansion, there is a relatively independent park. In addition to the bedrooms for residents, a lobby for guests, a large library, a back garden for a leisurely stroll, and a room for people to live in, a kitchen, and so on. On top of that, there is also a spacious martial arts arena and a well-equipped magic laboratory.

This is the park that the Hilton family built specifically to recruit high-level professionals. The people who can be arranged to live in this main building called "Star Picking Pavilion" can only be strong people who are super strong and have obtained the qualifications of family worship.

However, because the family has only risen for a few decades, it lacks the necessary background of the aristocracy, and still wears the hat of "nouveau riche" in the upper circles. In the competition for talent with other nobles or powers, even if they are equal in strength and promise even more generous terms, they are often at an absolute disadvantage.

Today, the Hilton family, with its deep pockets, has hired many fighters and magicians to work for the family. But the real powerhouse is qualified to enter the "Star Picking Pavilion", and there is no one before.

Two days ago, this "Star Picking Pavilion" finally ushered in its owner. But it is a pity that when the young master lived here, the vast majority of the family thought he was not qualified; Now, two days later, everyone recognized the boy's extraordinary strength, but he was leaving.

was forced to leave by his own people in the family.

The Hilton family has been thirsty for talent for many years, but they can't get it for a high-level professional. I finally invited one, and it was enough to make all the great nobles in Edinburgh go crazy with jealousy. In the end, the core members of the family and the former patriarch joined forces to force them away.

How ironic!

Maybe this kind of thing will only happen to us at the Hilton family. Not only can we not compete with others, but even if we are lucky enough to invite one, there is no way to keep them? This is the gap between the nouveau riche and the old aristocracy?

After a night of precipitation, the members of the Hilton family who calmed down recalled the whole thing, and already had their own judgments and opinions in their hearts. This time, Andres, the former patriarch and patron saint of the family, who led the rise of the family, was wrong. Moreover, the consequences are quite serious. What the family has lost as a result of this is not only a powerful silver fighter, but also a supreme genius who may be able to help the family leap a few steps again. More importantly, if the family's attitude towards talents spreads, the Hilton family, which is already in a disadvantageous position in the battle for talent, will be in a more difficult situation in the future.

One son is wrong, and the whole plate is lost!

I don't know how long I have to wait for this "Star Picking Pavilion" to usher in its next master.

Alas!

Looking back at the former new home of the "Star Picking Pavilion", Anthony also sighed in his heart.

He genuinely intends to serve Hilton and help the Hilton family grow into a major nobleman in the Empire. At the very least, before he stepped into the rank of "god", he would make this place his place to live.

Of course, Anthony will also have to get the resource he needs to grow from the Hilton family: the magic crystal! Or to put it another way, money.

From some of the information revealed by the system during casual chatting, Anthony can probably guess that whether it is to give himself skills or the system itself to grow and promote, the energy required is by no means a small amount.

The Hilton family lacks heritage, fame, and talent, and the only thing that is not lacking is money.

That's why Anthony chose it.

As a nobleman, even if it was just a small lord, Anthony had the idea of reviving his family. However, in his heart, the Bruce family is not based on the main family of the county, but a branch of the town. And the branches, only he Anthony? Bruce alone. The so-called prosperity of the family, in the current situation, is actually the glory of him alone.

When he became a "god", or even a higher existence than a "god", did he still need to worry about the prosperity of the Bruce family?

At the end of the day, as long as you're strong enough, everything else is a cloud.

It's a pity that all of this, with his palm yesterday, is in vain.

Although he was leaving, his original plans had to be re-planned, but Anthony did not regret it. In the face of such obvious ridicule, contempt and hostility, the lack of strength can be said to be a temporary forbearance, in order to move forward. Now that you have the strength and ambition of a strong man, do you have to endure the provocations of these young people? What is the meaning of the road of the strong that is pursued wholeheartedly?

At yesterday's banquet, Anthony mercilessly lectured Elder Andres, who was old enough to be his grandfather, in public. The strange thing is that Andres didn't even swing his fist, or even get angry, but looked thoughtful.

Andres, the emperor, didn't speak, and the matter would be over. In the end, the banquet ended abruptly, and the guests left with gossip expressions of excitement.

Things got to this point, and as everyone expected, Anthony would never be a Hilton family enshrinement again. Despite Count Silvio's best efforts, Anthony agreed to stay at the "Pavilion of the Stars" for another night. However, no matter how they spent all night studying and discussing countermeasures, today Anthony still made up his mind: go!

Therefore, no matter how the two fathers and sons, Count Silvio and Viscount Owen, persuaded and pleaded, Anthony only patted Owen on the shoulder, and then walked towards the door without stopping.

And outside the door, there are the representatives of the major families, strengths, patriarchs or leaders who have been waiting for a long time.
