"Uncle Solo, I know that the idea to assassinate me came from Fernando, not you." Hathaway said straight to the point.

"How so?" Solo. The corners of Bell's mouth twitched and he asked rhetorically.

"If you want to assassinate me, you definitely won't use Marion. Hollen kind of waste, that's the most basic. And from his confession, it can also be seen that from the time Fernando discovered me, to the arrangement of the assassination method, there was no time to contact you at all. ”

"You caught Fernando?"

"I haven't caught it yet, but I'm sure he won't be able to get out of the Cordillera Collar." Hathaway said.

Yes, she lied, Fernando. Bell's corpse was now frozen into an ice mound, but it was really not 'caught' because they didn't need to catch a dead man, it was just a little play on words.

"Humph!"

Solo. Bell snorted coldly, but when he heard that his son was not captured, there was a flash of relief, but Hathaway's confidence still made him a little uneasy, "That's what you want to say?" Hathaway, the family won't watch you act recklessly! ”

"Reckless?"

Hathaway smiled, "That's the right word for you and Fernando. But, dear Uncle Solo, I don't understand why you have been treating me as a thorn in the flesh since I left the Academy. What am I doing wrong? ”

Solo. Bell looked at her fixedly and shook his head slightly, "You didn't do anything wrong, or rather, you shouldn't have come out of the academy at all." We've been in business in the Cordillera for so long, why did you take it away from us as soon as you came? Here's why. ”

"Robber logic!"

Hathaway frowned. "Are you embarrassed to say it's a business? It's pretty much the same to say plunder. ”

Thinking of the wealth in that secret room, Hathaway showed a disdainful look in her eyes: "Don't use the family to suppress me, the son is not the fault of the father, Fernando murdered me, that is your responsibility." I think you should know what happened to you, and I'm not going to give you another chance to come back to the Cordillera. Now I give you a choice, you die by yourself, or let your whole family die with you. Don't think Fernando can run away, the Brinia Pass has been blocked by me, and he can't escape. ”

"You...... That's your cousin and aunt. You're threatening me with them? "Solo. Bell was furious.

"Phew!"

Hathaway spat disdainfully: "You're embarrassed to say!" Now I think there is a blood relationship. Why didn't you think about it when you murdered me? ”

Solo. Bell was stunned.

"Don't think I have to get my cooperation, I want a person to die a normal life, I have a lot of ways. Don't forget that I'm also an alchemist. Hathaway continued.

"You ......"

Solo. Bell glared at Hathaway. It was as if he was going to eat her. But it didn't take long for him to hang his head like a defeated rooster.

Hathaway was still calm: "The choice is yours, whether your family can survive or not." It's up to you. You should know that apart from you, no one else in the Baron's Mansion has nothing to worry about. ”

"But the family will not let a woman preside over the Cordillera territory, and it is impossible for the family title to be passed outside the family, they will send someone over." Solo. Bell said reluctantly.

"Then let's kill one and kill the other. As long as I am given a while longer, even Grand Duke Casif can't help me, is the strength of the family stronger than theirs? Hathaway said completely nonchalantly.

"You...... Can you swear? "Solo. Bell jerked his head up, his eyes like a gambler who had lost a bet.

"I can swear that as long as you promise to kill yourself, I won't hunt Fernando anymore. Bell, and release your family immediately. Hathaway solemnly made a sworn oath as a magician...... Wizards are quite familiar with the Ash of Magical Contracts, although Solo. Bell is also a capable person, but he can't fight Hathaway in this regard, and she is easily led by the nose and doesn't find anything wrong.

Solo. Bell stood up suddenly, stared at Hathaway and said, "If you dare to kill my family after I die, I will give you a vicious curse in hell!" ”

Hathaway said lightly: "Don't worry, I don't like to implicate my family very much, unless someone forces me." ”

Solo. Bell knew he had no choice.

Subsequently, he confessed all the main forces of his department, and even the mercenary group he had carefully built was honestly handed over.

"Dear uncle, thank you for your cooperation."

Hathaway stood up: "I will let you die without pain, and I will do my best to give away the Cordillera collar to your family." ”

With that, she walked out of her cell, and the sound of the cell door closing behind her came from behind her.

"My lord, that Marion. What to do with Hollen? "Petro. Hughes asked softly.

"Hold it, wait for the Holren family to come and redeem him." Hathaway said.

"Ransom?" Petro. Hughes was a little surprised.

"His head is too much fertilizer to use, so he might as well exchange some gold carats to help the immigrants buy some food."

Hathaway walked out of the prison and suddenly remembered something: "Arrange for a reception banquet tonight to entertain the nobles who came with me." Also, make arrangements to wait for them to visit tomorrow. How was the first football match arranged......"

Hathaway was not the kind of person who was greedy for pleasure, and the reason why the banquet was arranged was to let the children of the nobility see the Cordillera side of the government...... Only in this place will there be opportunities for cooperation where the political environment and material foundation are solid. And in the next few days, her preparation has obviously paid off.

The banquets of the Cordillera are naturally not comparable to the big cities of Vermont City and Heidelberg, but they also have the characteristics of the Cordillera Plateau, which are all delicacies of the mountains and seas, and have another taste, and the most important thing is the nobles and some merchant representatives who attend the banquet. Although it is not a matter of singing praises, it can be seen from the expressions of the participants that Hathaway is still quite prestigious among these people, and this is not just due to his identity or status, but because Murong Xianxian has made real achievements.

This was followed by visits to factories, mines and collective farms, where a large number of orders were immediately placed, and both parties were happy.

"Thank you, Lord Earl, for taking care of us during this time. However, it is time for us to go back. "Reslin. Lyle prepares to take his leave.

"Hehe, Mr. Lyle, if I were you, I would never leave now." Hathaway laughed. (To be continued......)
