Chapter 160: The Haze in the Shadows (Part II)

Just when the Corona family united with the free nobles of the entire Eberden and prepared to completely dismantle the rule of the Jod's Chamber of Commerce, and even his eldest son betrayed him, Roger Yord, who was far away in the Red Blood Castle in the south, was still in a state of complete ignorance of these things.

Of course, he must have been aware of certain signs and signs, but the present situation did not allow him to think about them, for a more urgent situation had already rushed directly before him.

reconciled with the Turin family, co-opted Loren Turin and Brandon de Salion behind him, and used the "Road Repair" plan to completely control the real power of the whole of Byrne...... When these grand blueprints and plans were just beginning to be underway, a certain black-haired wizard directly tore all this to shreds, making him lose face and be shocked!

The Corona family is going to join forces with the Turin family?!

This incident was completely beyond the expectations of old Roger, and even put him in a dilemma for a while, because the plan to reconcile with the Turin family from the beginning was proposed by him.

Everything was so perfect... He offered an offer of reconciliation, which the young Earl gladly accepted, and at last they sat down and shook hands, and drank merrily at the feast......

Then the little Corona girl walked into the banquet hall, and the black-haired wizard and the countess completely tore through the gentle face, and all the fighting was just a disguise to lure him into the bait... And he was so obediently fooled, acting like a fool who was being played around from beginning to end!

It's bearable, who... Intolerable!

They must be given a look, and they must be made to understand that the Yode Chamber of Commerce is not the object of their provocation!

But before that, there are bigger troubles......

......................................................

"Old Roger, don't you have anything to say?"

Governor Gaspar sat in front of Roger Yord, and there was no anger in his eyes, only a strong murderous intent and indifference:

"You said you wanted me to reconcile with the little girl, and I did, and you told me to hand over Nilton, and I did... Dare to ask, after giving so much, what do I get?"

"Humiliation, naked humiliation!" Gaspar whispered, "as if they had already calculated that we would bow our heads and let them be humiliated!"

"All the roads in Byrne have been blocked, and the Earldom of Crimson Castle is full of Governor's Palace's eyeliner - how did that little girl from the Corona family get all the way and show up on the night of the feast?!"

The Governor's roar echoed through the empty conference room, and even the wine glasses on the table showed signs of shattering.

Roger Yoder sighed... At this moment, he really felt extremely tired and tired.

"Since they came in private, it means that they have a way to bypass the towns and roads and sneak into the Red Blood Castle - the Turin family has ruled this land for thousands of years, and it is not surprising that there are secret passages. Old Roger said indifferently, his voice a little bitter:

"Speaking of which, didn't that Loren Turin also bypass our eyeliner... If he hadn't been sent to the door on purpose, do you think Nilton would have been able to spot him?"

Gaspar was dumbfounded. The face is pale.

"There's no point in talking about that now, and what to do with the Turin family who have joined forces with Corona is the top priority. ”

Speaking of this, Old Roger himself frowned: "Regarding the United Chamber of Commerce that the little girl from Corona said, I have thought of many possibilities - obviously, once the two of them join forces, the Turin family will have stable financial resources and material support, of course, this support will not be free, they will definitely use the right to sell wine and salt in the Red Blood Castle as collateral......"

"The real question is what kind of alliance of interests has been formed between the two families, and it would have been nice if the Corona family had only been trying to support Turin's rule in the Red Blood Castle, but I'm afraid the problem may not be so simple......

The silent Gaspar's eyes became more and more hideous, more and more terrifying, staring at the president of the Yode Chamber of Commerce walking around in front of him, and the unconscious old Roger lowered his head and continued to talk in thought:

"For now, watch out for that Miss Ariel Corona, who is here alone and probably has some important mission... Maybe assassinating her would be a good option, and then find a way to blame the Turin family, or just press it directly on that Loren Turin's head!"

"Of course, the most important thing is what happens to the Corona family next... It's just that their words may be easy to do, but I'm afraid that there are also the entire free nobles of Ebolden - if their real purpose is to use the Red Blood Castle as a springboard to extend their tentacles to the entire Duchy of Byrne, it will be a disaster for us, and the time will ......."

"Enough ——!!!!"

The roar echoed for a long time, and the conference room fell silent instantly, and the stunned old Roger turned his head in confusion, seeing that he was distorted by tyranny and anger to the point of not being able to speak... Gaspar's face.

"Gaspar, you... Huh?!"

Before old Roger could finish speaking, Governor Gaspar grabbed him by the collar with one hand and dragged him violently in front of him.

Eyes full of murderous intent, looking directly at each other.

"I said... Enough!"

The voice is low, but the cold expression is enough to make people feel terrified.

"Roger Yod... I've had enough of your self-righteous and swaggering appearance in front of me, don't think you can control me with money, don't forget... Everything you have is given to you by me, and people like you are not qualified to make irresponsible remarks in front of me!"

Gaspar said coldly: "As for you who don't even have a knighthood, and your ancestors opened a tavern, I can casually lead two identical dogs on the street! Don't think that you are qualified to command me, and don't think that you can hide from me!"

"Roger Yord, do you really think I don't know anything about your plans, about your ambitions... Even the dogs in the Doge's Palace, even the Nilton who was betrayed by you is a hundred times more loyal than you, ten thousand times!"

The frightened old Roger gasped, gritted his teeth and stared coldly at Gaspar, who was tugging at his collar.

"Look, that's what happens to me trusting you—it seems like I'm so pampering, trusting you so much that you really think you can make decisions for me, the Governor of Byrne; I really want to know, how long are you going to hide the 'road repair' plan from me?!"

The silence made the atmosphere between the two people more and more cold and depressing, and they could hear each other's panting voices and see each other's more and more terrifying eyes.

"Use me, use the Turin family... us idiots, and you'll get Byrne, won't you?"

Gaspar clenched his teeth, his expression becoming more and more crazy: "I promise, sooner or later, you will pay the price, one day ......"

"Smack——!

With a sudden flick of his hand, panting old Roger broke away from Gaspar's right hand holding his collar.

"Before you threaten me with these, Master Gaspar ......" Old Roger looked at him coldly, "You better take care of yourself first!"

Gaspar was stunned, and his face became even more ugly.

"Who else are you with now?" Roger Yoder said calmly, slowly, "After betraying Nilton, except for me... Do you have any lackeys you can get your hands on?"

"You ......"

"Gaspar, you don't have anyone to rely on now—if you don't want to be overlooked, I'm your last reliant on Governor Byrne!" he approached Gaspar, staring at those resentful eyes:

"So stop talking to me about the boring nonsense of 'I'm something'... Because without me, without the Yod Chamber of Commerce and the tens of millions of silver coins we threw on you, Gaspar... You're a piece of!"

Gaspar stared at him, and met this "old friend" who had known him for the first time today, who never said a word of cruelty, and who was always full of flattery and flattery like a dog.

"And... Am I really the only one who is hiding something?"

Gaspar's face was shocked, and he was held down by the other party before he had a seizure, and he couldn't move!

"Stop trying to betray me or do anything in the dark... Gaspar Vain. Old Roger stood in front of him and said coldly: "Otherwise, the rumor that 'Governor Byrne is suspected of colluding with the Evil God Apostle' will spread throughout the empire in one day!"

"I've made you... Nature can ruin you!"
