Chapter 22 Choice

The personal arrival of the two Imperial Counts officially ended the turmoil in the Bruce family. The Francisco family had absolutely no confidence or hope for resistance. Even the biggest backer is on the enemy's side, how can this battle be fought?

Of course, Anthony won't really wipe out the Francisco family, or annex it. Count Bearzot made a gesture to save face. If you don't know how to advance or retreat, and make non-divisive requirements, it will be shameless to give face.

The power of a viscount, and the largest force in the county, even for Count Bealzot, is not a pawn that can be discarded at will.

In the end, in addition to apologizing, the Francisco family paid enough financial compensation, and the matter was over. Like Anthony said, eat me, give me double spit out.

A few days later, the aftermath of the incident subsided. The members of the Bruce family were also released and came to the town. The property that originally belonged to the Bruce family was transferred back, and the property as compensation was also transferred. Under the noses of the two counts, the Francisco family did not dare to play any tricks, and everything was completed as quickly as possible.

During this time, the two Imperial Counts lived in Anthony's house, chatting with Anthony all over the world or wandering around. After Owen, in just a few days, Anthony worked as a tour guide again.

Finally, the dust has settled.

Except for one thing, one thing that was very important to the two counts......

On the small balcony on the second floor, Anthony, Count Bearzot, Owen and his son, the four of them sat and chatted as usual.

Anthony said, "You've all heard about my past. It is said that the name of 'double waste firewood' has spread to the county seat. Fortunately, on the eve of the adult assessment, he suddenly awakened the bloodline inheritance, and he passed the assessment. Otherwise, this lord's title will not be kept. ”

Count Bearzot smiled and said, "Mr. Anthony, this is a lot of accumulation, and if you don't make a sound, you will be a blockbuster. Before the age of seventeen, he has the strength of a silver fighter. At such an age, with such an entry, looking at the entire empire, I am afraid that I will not be able to find a few. Mr. Alfredo has been raving about you since the last time he fought you. ”

Count Silvio also chimed in: "Yes, brother, your bloodline inheritance is really amazing. Then the conversation changed, "But, Count Bearzot, your Monsieur Alfredo will be full of praise for Brother Anthony?" No way, he never had a good face for the younger ones. ”

Count Bealzot hurriedly said: "It may not be possible for other young people, but how can others compare with Monsieur Anthony." ”

Such a drama of tearing each other down has been staged many times in the past, and everyone is accustomed to it.

Anthony didn't care, waved his hand, and said, "I know the intentions of the two counts very well. I would like to thank you both in advance for your kindness. I've spent my whole life in this small town, and the farthest is to Hengling City. A good boy has ambitions in all directions, and I have long wanted to go out for a walk and have a look. The capital city of Edinburgh is also what I want to visit. ”

The two counts knew whether the efforts they had worked over the past few years would bear fruit, and it would be revealed at this moment. They all held their breath and waited for the following.

Anthony continued: "The families of the two counts are in the provincial capital, and they will inevitably have to be harassed when the time comes. However, I also took on a mission at the Mercenary Guild to protect Viscount Owen. Therefore, it is more convenient to live in the Hilton family. I also ask for the forgiveness of Count Bearzot for this. ”

Count Silvio's father and son were beaming, and if it wasn't for the wrong occasion, they would have high-fived them in celebration. Count Bearzot, on the other hand, was pale and depressed.

Anthony apologized to Count Bealzot: "I know that Count Bealzot has a great reputation and influence in the county, so I have a reluctant request. I hope the Earl can take care of my Bruce family and not let them be bullied. ”

Count Bearzot's face looked a little better, patted his chest, and said loudly: "Mr. Anthony, please rest assured, your people will be my people in the future." As long as I am here, nothing like this will ever happen again. ”

Count Bearzot understands very well that in this battle for talent, he has lost. Anthony was just giving himself a step. After this incident, where in the county town would anyone dare to trouble the Bruce family. The so-called shining clouds is just saying good things.

However, this incident can be regarded as a good fate for the other party. To be able to get the kindness of a high-level professional, or even the kindness of a top-level powerhouse in the future, is not in vain for the hard work he has put in during this time.

Count Silvio was in a good mood and also cheered beside him: "Yes, with the prestige of Count Bealzot, those young people are not far away, where do they dare to make trouble. ”

Many of the big events that happen in this world are just the result of the small talk of the bigwigs at the top.

Now that Anthony had made his decision, there was no need for Count Bearzot to linger. The next day, he left the town with his entourage and returned to the provincial capital, Edinburgh.

On the morning of the third day, Count Silvio and Owen and his son also got into the carriage back to Edinburgh. Naturally, the companion also included the solicitor of this trip, Lord Anthony.

As for the arrangements for the family, it is still the same as the last time Anthony left, leaving it to the old housekeeper to take full responsibility. As for the main house of the Bruce, there are no changes either.

After this incident, everyone saw Anthony's great strength and power. The little Bruce family could no longer find anyone who could compare to him. With such a strong existence, who else can sit in the seat of "patriarch" with peace of mind? What's more, it's the main family that has old grudges with him.

However, Anthony, who was already qualified enough to influence and even decide on the choice of the patriarch, did not put forward such an opinion.

In fact, Anthony can't help it, if there is a suitable candidate, such as his own brother or something, he will definitely remove the patriarch without pretension. It's a pity that he is the only one left in the branch lineage. Do you want to go to the main vein to find someone? Then it is better to let the current patriarch continue to do it.

Thinking about it carefully, looking at the problem from the position of the patriarch of the family, the patriarch is actually not at fault. The contradiction between the two veins is actually the most common factional dispute between the aristocracy. The point is that the patriarch's line did not do substantial harm to Anthony's family, and it is not an irreconcilable contradiction.

In ancient times, the ancient Baiyue Empire, which was prominent on the mainland, produced a great nobleman, a powerful minister, and a traitorous minister, and he said a sentence that has been infamous for thousands of years: "An upright nobleman is not a qualified nobleman!" Although this statement has been criticized for thousands of years, in private, it is regarded as a classic by the aristocracy.

Of course, if it weren't for the fact that the patriarch released kindness to Anthony at the last moment of the family crisis, he would not have expected to be treated so kindly by Anthony.

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