Font sat in the room, thinking about the young man named Downing, who had the same brilliant mind as he did, but luckily he had planted an easy weakness for the mysterious young man while investigating the details of the other party, which was Taylor Swift.

When the time comes, AZ Alkmaar will be able to easily get rid of this equally clever competitor, what a perfect plan, and it is almost impossible to find the slightest loophole.

I got up and lay down on the table, picked up a pen and paper, and wrote a letter. "Dear Father, things are finally progressing, and Alkmaar is finally starting to use me, and he is conceited that he is in control of things, and that it will not be long before you hear good news from me, and when your wealth will rise rapidly, we father and son can celebrate wildly. ”

After writing the letter and letting the pigeon out, Font closed the window and there was a knock on the door.

Opening the door to the apartment and seeing a familiar figure, Font gave up half of his position. "We have to pretend we don't know each other, AZ Alkmaar is a cautious person. ”

"Cautious and conceited. Downing entered the room as if he were back in his apartment, opened a bottle of whiskey, and poured two glasses. "He thought that if he played with the two of us in applause, he would never send someone to stare at you or me. ”

This smart man was bold enough, Font spread his hands, didn't mind Tang Ning's casualness, picked up a glass of wine, and the two clinked glasses, like old friends who had known each other for many years.

"Well, I think you've been invited, and before that you have to tell me everything about Lucas, and his role in the Alkmaar family. Downing will explain in the future.

"Lukas Alkmaar, a minor member of the Alkmaar family, and the nephew of AZ Alkmaar himself, is a loafer of all things violent, such as going to the Colosseum to watch two orcs fight to the death, or hunting in a mountain range outside Blot. ”

"By the way, he also has a beautiful sister, known as the pearl of the Alkmaar family, the most beautiful woman in the city of Blot. Wundt added.

"The point is on the prettiest woman in Blott City?" Downing asked tentatively.

Wundt had an eerie smile on his face. "What a smart young man, this Pearl is in charge of the Alkmaar family's spice business, young and promising, very business-minded, and a philanthropist, but this Pearl has no interest in men, so you don't have to think about conquering her with your delicate and handsome face. ”

But she has a weakness, that is, his brother, and his sister is surprisingly kind to this brother, even if his brother is a prodigal, it will not affect her position in her heart. ”

It's a good way to climb further and get closer to the heart of the Alkmaar family, but how did AZ Alkmaar himself figure it out.

Downing left Fonteon's residence and went to the largest blacksmith shop in Blotter, where the atmosphere of the empire was open and ordinary people were allowed to carry weapons.

"Distinguished guest, what do you want?" asked the guy from the weapons shop enthusiastically.

"What's the best bow in the shop?" said Downing, giving Lucas Alkmaar a bow.

"This bow is good, it is the best bow in Blott City by all accounts, and many nobles use this bow for hunting. "Dude introduced.

"Okay, that's the bow. "Downing bought it.

When I returned to the apartment, before I could lie down, I heard a voice outside the door, who would be looking for me at this time, opened the door, and saw a familiar face.

Taylor Swift stood in the doorway. "You don't like me working in the casino, I've resigned, I'll be loyal to you in the future, trust me, I'll never do anything to betray you, I'm already your man." ”

Tang Ning really couldn't understand this bold girl, and chose to take the initiative to pursue a man, without shying away, Tang Ning didn't want to hurt this brave and kind girl. "Miss Taylor, I guess it's just a deal between us, I'm sure I don't mean anything to you, get out of here. ”

"You lie, you clearly like me, no one will talk to a girl you don't like often. Taylor stubbornly stood in the doorway, with no intention of leaving.

"Okay, what do you want?" Downing could have scolded Taylor for leaving, but that would have made Font distrust him, after all, he had eliminated his only weakness, and working with someone who didn't was a disaster, and if he wanted to continue to get the inside story of Font, he had to keep this woman by his side.

"I don't ask too much, don't worry, I just want to be able to take care of your life, if you don't have feelings for me after half a year, I will leave forever. Taylor was ready to spend half a year gaining Downing's heart.

"The results will disappoint you, come in. Downing left Taylor behind.

Taylor stood in the room. "I'll stay with you once in a while, after all, we don't have a wedding, lest people call me a prodigal who doesn't follow women's morals. ”

Tangning could only listen to the girl announce the rules of her game, lying helplessly on the couch and closing his eyes, thinking about what kind of plan his opponent had.

The banquet hosted by Lucas Alkmaar was not very large, but a small circle of people came to reminisce about the past, and the venue of the banquet was Lucas's banquet hall, which was large enough to accommodate nearly 500 people, with a floor decorated with red agate, and some works of art painted on the large Romanesque windows, apparently by famous artists.

And Lucas himself is a sturdy young man, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, tall and tall, like a reckless man, according to Wundt, Lucas is indeed a reckless man, who only knows how to be idle, eat, drink and have fun.

"Mr. Wundt, the last meeting was too short, I didn't expect us to meet again. At the reception, Barak took a glass of wine, and with a somewhat shy Hannah, he found Font to say hello. "May I introduce, my daughter Hannah, what you have seen and what you have remembered. ”

Wundt glanced at Hannah and nodded gentlemanly, today he wore a black gown to make his handsome face stand out. "I'm sorry, Mr. Barak, I didn't see the newspaper in the last interview, and the director of the newspaper didn't think that the story had much selling point, and I tried to do it, and I believe that I am more uncomfortable about it than you are. ”

Barak, of course, would not poke the ally, and nodded in friendliness. "Mr. Fonte, let the unpleasantness pass, my daughter has been eager to have dinner with you since the last time I saw you, and I hope you will agree, for my sake. ”

Font looked at the shy Hannah, who wanted to refuse, but Hannah suddenly mustered up his courage. "Mr. Wundt, please do not refuse, I admire your talent. ”

Soon someone came over and interrupted the conversation. "Can you tell me about any interesting things you're talking about?" Downing looked at Barak, pretending to be unaware of all this.

Barak saluted respectfully. "Mr. Downing, Hannah wants to date this gentleman. ”

Hannah was still a little scared of Downing, and she shrank behind Barak's back and looked at Font unnaturally, hoping that Font would agree.

"Mr. Wundt, it is not a gentleman's act to refuse a lady. Downing spoke for Hannah.

Of course, Font understood that this was Downing's plan to create a weakness for him, and he was really a worthy opponent, and given that the relationship between the two did not want to be affected, Font smiled and raised his glass. "It's such an exciting thing to date such a beautiful lady. ”

The atmosphere of the whole banquet was very harmonious, they were all businessmen, and the small gatherings did not alarm the government officials, Lucas was idle, but he still had a lot of experience in holding some banquets.

When the banquet reached a certain stage, Lucas raised his voice to invite everyone. "Ladies and gentlemen, please come with me, for the real show is about to begin. ”

Everyone looked at the host of the banquet, wondering what kind of show it would be.

Following the master, the group passed through several corridors, and finally arrived at a huge dome-like building, and entered the interior, the sunken architectural design, a circular Colosseum, with countless spectator seats above, and a fully enclosed gladiatorial arena below.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you will enjoy a wonderful show next, and those who don't mind can put on a little money and liven up the atmosphere. Lucas nodded to the attendants who were attending the banquet, and he nodded to the attendants who followed him.

The attendants quickly left, and the door opened at the same time in the opposite east and west directions of the gladiatorial arena below, and two orcs with iron chains were pushed into the Colosseum, meeting no more than five meters away, with heavy chains around their necks and legs, and their arms also trapped in shackles.

Half-orcs come from a continent thousands of miles away, it is not easy to meet half-orcs in Blott City, many people are seeing them for the first time, they have green skin, they are twice as large as humans, there are two fangs at the corners of their mouths, half-orcs are aggressive by nature, and have a low IQ.

Many traffickers would travel to that dangerous continent to catch orcs and sell them to the rich, or the Colosseum, where they would be used for fighting shows for a lot of money.

Hannah cowered behind her father in some fright, muttering. "I don't like these monsters. ”

Compared to Hannah, the other guests who had never seen orcs were excited, and the orcs were numbered, and then someone quickly brought the betting tickets and distributed them to each guest.

Downing also got a copy, and he casually pressed a thousand Caesars on the first and a half orcs, it was just a small game, and it didn't hurt to participate in it.

When everyone made their bets, someone entered the Colosseum wearing protective armor and opened the shackles of the two half-orcs, but the chains around their necks and legs were not removed, which was for fear that the aggressive half-orcs would accidentally attack the guests here, although there were protective measures, but the strength of the half-orcs could not be underestimated.

When the chains were opened, the men retreated, and the two orcs were already scuffling together.
