Briss, a powerful man in the Royal Fortress Harbor, controlled two mines and three plantations, and had a long history of close association with the Governor.

According to the grapevine, it is very likely that Mr. Bliss will marry the daughter of the Governor, even if they are about ten years apart.

Briss comes from the Valoa family, a branch of the Capetian family, who ruled the Kingdom of France for two centuries and is also considered a royal family, and the subsequent decline did not completely defeat the family, but tried to expand overseas.

Bliss is certainly not a big man in France, but here, this is not a royal fortress that is not a regular colony, it can be said that it can be said that it is one-handed to the sky.

Every month, there is a special supply fleet that brings him a large amount of supplies, population, and helps to transport goods.

With plenty of money and control over the transportation channels, Briss was naturally able to gather a large number of people to work hard, and in this age of money supremacy, power followed, and thugs and guards maintained his position as the city's Emperor of the Dark World.

Well, it may be a bit inaccurate to describe it, Bliss has a good family education, and as a natural nobleman, he can always make everyone of equal status feel like a spring breeze, but for commoners, it is like people from two worlds.

The head of the mine rushed into the beautiful house, and when he pushed the door, he became restrained, wiped his wet hair, straightened his clothes, and slammed the door.

"Benoit, is there anything wrong with it so early?"

The door was opened by the butler, who was a little pale, and handed over a clean white towel.

It was less than nine o'clock, and Benoit, the head of the mine, was here in just half an hour.

It was an uneventful morning, and as usual, it was still raining ice.

"Mr. Bliss is in the study, and a servant has been sent to inform him. ”

The butler was always unhurried, and in this case, Benoit tried to suppress his anxiety, rubbed his shoes on the carpet, and headed for the study.

When I opened the door, I saw the elegant young man, dressed in a casual comfortable robe, with brown hair scattered behind him, carefully examining the heavy book.

Of course, it could also be some ledger.

The fireplace in the room burned vigorously, raising the temperature in the room to about twenty degrees, even during the day, the candelabra on the ceiling illuminated the room, and the space was very large, and there was no feeling of stuffiness.

"Lord Briss, the mine has been attacked. ”

Benoit stood respectfully aside, knowing that Briss hated rudeness and untidiness the most.

"Shh......h Let me finish this page. ”

Bliss didn't pay much attention to the news of the attack on the mine, just glanced at Benoit calmly, and then stood up with the book.

"In the past, there were ranger knights who were responsible for defending the country, protecting young girls, orphans and children, and eliminating violence and peace, how blessed the people of that era were, but our decaying era does not deserve such great blessings......"

"In these days, laziness has prevailed over diligence, comfort over industriousness, sin over virtue, arrogance over bravery......"

Bliss's reading voice was full of emotion and emotion, stepping on the red carpet from the desk, and walking down from the desk with leisurely steps, with a lot of smiles on his face.

"What do you think of this paragraph?"

Bliss placed the books casually on the square table beside him, and stood in front of him, the brightest place, with a silent smile on the corner of his mouth, as if reading made him very happy.

"Uh...... Very interesting......"

He didn't know how to appreciate this kind of article, but he was a little fascinated by Briss's purple eyes, so he quickly looked away.

Bliss was twenty-eight years old, young and promising, without the vicissitudes of the sea, and his life of fine clothes and food made him look very young and fair-skinned, no wonder there were rumors that he would marry the daughter of the governor.

"What's wrong with the mines? I think if it's just a general attack, you should find Mr. Anthony and borrow some men to take the mines back, instead of disturbing my early morning. ”

Bliss's expression gradually became serious, even called Tieqing, and said in a very cold tone that he hated the unplanned happening, which would disrupt a lot of deployments.

Moody, this is the best portrayal of him.

This made Benoit a little frightened, few people dared to disobey such a seemingly harmless man, and the few people almost disappeared cleanly, and even many of them were dealt with by him.

"Sir, it's not just a simple raid on the mines, they're freeing the slaves, led by the captains, they have at least one boat, with clean movements, four people, come prepared. ”

"How many?"

Bliss had a slight suspicion that he had misheard, that he had more than enough men on the mine.

"You've disappointed me so much, go get Anthony, butler!"

He shouted in the direction of the wide open door.

"Yes sir. ”

Having received the desired answer, Brice continued to turn his head to look at Benoit.

"Go on, four people, are you a rice bucket?"

"Sir...... The captain in the red suit, no, it was simply a demon, and he was so athletic that the fog could not obstruct his vision, and the guard with the gun ......"

Syllable!

A resounding slap in the face was slapped, and Briss couldn't listen to it anymore, every word of the person in front of him seemed to shirk responsibility, and no matter what, it couldn't hide the fact that he had lost the mine.

"Sixty slaves fled, and twelve good men died, and you, Benoit, fled like a coward. ”

The latter covered his face and said nothing, no matter how fanciful he said, he could not hide the fact that the mine was lost, almost all the personnel died, and he, because of cowardice, fled.

Time stood still, and Brice sat back in his chair, his favorite book aside.

The whole person looked a little lazy, leaned back in the chair, and forcibly suppressed the urge to yawn.

Originally, he might have been a little worried, and the most valuable mines in his hands were these two mines, one coal and one iron mine, but when he knew that there were only four enemies in total, and that they were only freed slaves, his losses were very limited.

Hassan kept twenty-five slaves in the mines, earning ten pounds a day to make a little money, so Bliss really didn't worry about his own losses, and he was now thinking about what to do with those who disobeyed him, and he wanted them to know what would happen if he was angry with him at the Royal Fortress.

"Prepare my carriage, it's time to make a trip to the Governor's Palace. ”
