Chapter 172: Two Gamblers

It was only a few minutes before a bloody sunset sank into the western ground.

The dim shadows fell at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the sunset, which had been glowing with satin-like vermilion, gradually dimmed.

But at this time, the hollow above the central area of the White Tower became more and more conspicuous.

As the sunset gradually closed and was buried in the ground, the crimson and purple silhouette could not help but look pale from the loss of the sunset, but became more vivid and dazzling.

"Oh, by the way," Roland handed Robert a money bag as if he had suddenly remembered something, "your profit." ”

"There really is......

Robert took the money bag with mixed feelings.

Roland crossed his hands on his hips and looked righteous: "Of course." I'm not here to cheat you out of money. ”

I'm here to cheat everybody's money.

Roland silently added in his heart.

"Well, do you want to try again? In less than two days, there is a tenth of the profit - selling drugs. None of the products have such profits. ”

“…… I have to say, I'm tempted. ”

Robert said in a deep voice, "However, I also feel a little uneasy......

"It's making money, it's making money too fast, isn't it?"

Roland gave him a knowing look.

Robert, who looked at Roland with some hesitation, worried that Roland would think that he was stingy, suddenly calmed down.

"Yes. It's making money so fast......"

Robert nodded, with a serious face: "I'm a nobleman, not a businessman...... Opportunistic tricks will eventually pay a price. ”

Hehe.

Roland almost burst out laughing.

If the nobles of Banza, Suze, and Karar—even a nobleman of the mountain people—said this, Roland would have believed it somewhat.

But only the nobility of Titan is definitely not applicable to this sentence.

Titan was rich in large merchants.

A good Titan merchant may not be a nobleman, but every Titan nobleman is a great merchant.

When you think of Titan, you think of good wine, good food and beautiful women.

There, everything is clearly priced. Mo said that he was the wife and daughter of a declining nobleman. Even freedom and faith can be sold.

"Oh...... It's really worthy of being a great nobleman of Titan......"

Roland whispered word by word in a teasing tone.

Robert looked at the charm of "Herland". His confused eyes narrowed like a little fox, and he bent down slightly, tilted his head to look at himself, and suddenly panicked.

"If you're worried about risk, you might as well invest less."

Roland leaned his head over and stared at Robert carefully. Then he suddenly retreated a few steps back, and said in a flat tone, "Then let's end it." I'll just go and find someone else to work with, Mr. Noble. ”

"Don't!"

Robert panicked and immediately grabbed Roland's shoulder.

"Herlan, don't take it personally, that's what I said...... I will definitely continue to invest here......"

"No, no, no, how could I take it to heart......"

Roland didn't let go of his hands on his shoulders, so he put his hands on his lower abdomen gracefully, his eyes full of smiles: "But you are a nobleman." Archduke Suzerant of Titan said it well. 'Aristocrats never come to the table' – right? ”

At this time, Robert finally realized that this investment was not "Herland" begging him to join, but he should have begged "Herland" to allow him to enter the circle.

For a moment, he couldn't help but feel a bitterness in his throat.

He finally tasted the bitter fruits of his arrogance.

"Miss Herland...... Please give me a chance. ”

"You should call me Herland. Miss Alexevna! ”

"Miss Herlan" suddenly flashed a hint of the majesty of a lioness.

She said word for word, in an almost arrogant tone, or, in a more exaggerated tone, as Robert had used before, "Mr. Robert, you are now laying your hand on the shoulder of a young lady!" ”

The voice was delicate, but sonorous: "If your motto is to be proud of the 'bravery' of an unmarried woman for her faux pas, then allow my knight to engage in a glorious duel with you!" ”

Then. Claudia, who was also from an aristocratic background, finally smelled the smoke of gunpowder.

The phrase "Herlan" involves the other party's family, and resting on the earth is equivalent to greeting the other party's ancestors in a cordial and warm tone.

She almost thought Roland was going to tear up his face with Robert.

But at this moment. Something happened to Claudia's surprise.

“…… I'm sorry. ”

I saw Robert's face stiffen for about five or six seconds, and then he suddenly let go of Roland's shoulder, took out his handkerchief in an almost humble gesture, and dusted Roland's shoulder like a servant.

Then, he straightened up with a serious face and gave Roland a titan noble salute: "Reintroduction." Venerable Herland. Miss Alex Yevna. ”

"I'm Robert. Feng. Ludwig, the ninth in line to the throne of the Titan Empire, is now a viscount. ”

He took two steps back, returned to his starting position, and then once again performed a Suze nobleman's salute to Roland: "Sorry again." ”

"Forgiveness."

Scold. A smart guy.

Roland narrowed his eyes and smiled pleasantly.

“…… Well, Viscount Robert," Roland's voice reverted to its original softness, "and I beg your pardon for Herland's jokes—"

"Where."

Robert and Roland looked at each other and smiled, and Claudia and An Ruosi, who were ready to fight, couldn't help but look at each other, only to feel inexplicable.

But they didn't know that Roland had already stepped on the brink of death before.

"Miss Herland, let's go to Line 4 first. Talking as he walked on the road. ”

Having been forgiven by Herland, Robert smiled with a sunny smile.

He walked enthusiastically to Herlan's side, but was careful not to touch any of Herlan's skin.

Robert finally stopped hiding his true nature as a businessman.

He whispered in Helland's ear and said, "I have an idea of how to use this channel of yours to make more profits......"

Roland listened to his plan and nodded repeatedly.

At the same time, the right hand holding the sword gradually relaxed.

It seemed that the two had just had a little verbal conflict before, but it was actually a big gamble by Roland, and it was also Robert's temptation to Herland.

If Roland doesn't react to Robert's rude moves, then either "Herland" is good enough to hook up. Either it means that she is not as noble as Robert thinks.

Roland saw through his idea, but instead of taking it, he simply overturned the chessboard and threw the choice back to Robert.

Based on the presumptuous behavior of "Herlan", he judged that her identity might be far more noble than he had thought at first.

So Robert, who was also at an impasse, made a bet.

He gambled on the woman "Herlan", and he couldn't afford to mess with it.

But unbeknownst to him, Roland had also made a bet.

What he gambled on was that Robert would think that the woman "Herland" couldn't be messed with-

It was clear that Roland had won.

This gamble is not fair to both parties.

If Robert loses, then he will go from "almost no succession" to "no succession at all".

But what if Roland loses......

That means he will be seen as an enemy by an angry Robert. Mo said that the plan in the White Tower would be blocked, and even the establishment of power would be subject to huge resistance for no reason, and even personal safety would be a huge threat.

However, since Roland dares to open this extremely unfavorable plate for himself, he naturally has his confidence - (to be continued......
