Ikram was stunned at this point, and it was probably only then that he realized the origin of the throwing knife that shot him in the left eye......

"Ikram, looks like you're getting a little bit of a head now. So why do you think I sold Eichkoman? Is it because I can't keep it? As you should have seen before, I brought tens of thousands of ......."

Leon looked at the stunned Ikram and took out a piece of parchment and a quill from his bosom, and dipped the pen in the blood that had flowed down Ikram's face.

"Why? It stands to reason that you can control Eichkoman, and you can marry my sister......

It's true that Ikram doesn't understand this question.

He now seems to have begun to think with what few of his brains he has.

"Because Eichcoman was supposed to be yours, Ikram...... Your father, Bahaman, has always wanted to leave Eichkoman to you! Your sister is just a poor victim - your father just wants to preserve his strength, he wants to wait for me to go to war with the Bacchus Empire in Eichkoman, and then wait for me to go to war with Cardin! Your father and Gaywan Khan tried to blockade the fortress of Turda, and sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight...... Do you still think your father was cowardly?"

Leon's words were true, and Bahaman had such thoughts in mind.

Ikram's body shook visibly, and he raised his head and looked at Leon with his remaining right eye, his eyes full of doubt.

"I still think he's cowardly because I don't want my sister to be a victim...... But why are you telling me this, Lord Leon?"

The young man's voice was much quieter, and it was clear that he also realized that Leon hadn't fooled him.

"Because you're one of the few Dexia people who still retains a sense of honor...... And I need a friend who is a nobleman of Dexia."

Leon began to write on the parchment in the blood of Ikram, saying as he wrote, "Ekram, the present Eichkoman is a place of covetion from many parties. Of course, neither I nor the Bacchus Empire can truly rule Eichkoman by storming, which is why Ramon is holding this auction. But I think you should understand by now that when the auction is over, you will be the most dangerous person......

And that's all true.

Why did Ramon let Tahir dispose of Ikram?

Why did Tahir plan to sell Ikram to Ramon on the spot?

Why didn't Ramon want to take over?

Actually, it's all because of this - as soon as the auction is over, Ikram will most likely die!

But no one wants him to be killed in his own hands, lest he bear the blame......

Because Ikram is the rightful heir to Eichkoman, anyone who gets his hands on Eichkoman will find a way to kill him in the first place.

In addition, Eichkoman already has a Scorpio Assassin Brotherhood, as long as he can afford the money, the Scorpio Assassin will dare to kill anyone, which is really not easy to prevent......

"I understand...... I knew this, or I wouldn't have come to Singar, and I even found Gaius from the Bacchus Empire and became his agent......

Ikram nodded.

It seems that this kid is not completely brainless, but he is too young and impulsive.

"Gaius? Didn't Younes bring you into the auction house? Ramon keeps an eye on your every move, Ikram, everything you did in Singal didn't escape Ramon's eyes......

Leon was also a little surprised, in fact, Ikram was targeted by Ramon's men as soon as he entered Toba City, so Ramon and Leon both knew that Ikram was brought in by Yunes - because of this, Ramon and Leon did not prevent him from entering the auction hall.

After all, the Bacchus did need such an agent, otherwise they would have had a hard time getting the locals to cooperate even if they were to gain control over Eichkoman.

"It was Gaius who told me to follow Younes. Gaius wasn't going to bid for Eichkoman, he was just trying to help his brother."

Ikram explained.

Gaius was the eldest son of Emperor Marius, but he basically bears no resemblance to Emperor Marius except for his looks - he is a king

The son is a decent person, with a strong temperament and no flexibility, and Emperor Marius didn't even dare to let him be an official.

Of course, it is probably because Gaius is relatively easy to deceive, that a person like Ikram who is also not very good at using his brain can become his agent......

And Younes was the second son of Emperor Marius and did not serve in the Bacchus Empire.

It is said that the two brothers have a good character, and Leon has also heard of them in the territory of Bacchus, the eldest is upright and kind, the second is brave and strong, and the children of Emperor Marius are still well educated.

It's just that these two brothers are not very suitable for governing the country - the eldest Gaius is not flexible enough and admits death; The second Younes is too frizzy and frivolous and impatient.

In fact, most people are like this, these are not shortcomings for ordinary people, it can only be said that they do seem mediocre compared to their father, Emperor Marius.

So Marius probably didn't intend to let them go into politics, he just wanted them to be rich and prosperous for a lifetime - the brothers were the largest landowners in the Bacchus Empire.

A large amount of arable land south of the fort of the Sava belongs to Gaius; In the transaction between Emperor Marius and Leon, much of the land south of the Shield Wind Fortress belonged to Younes.

"It seems that these two brothers were instructed by Emperor Marius to contribute to the country......

Leon shook his head and smiled, "But neither of them is the one who calls the shots, Ikram, you agent, you haven't even found the right lord of the Bacchus Empire."

"It doesn't matter...... Count Leon, what are you doing when you came to me?"

Ikram lowered his head and asked softly.

Indeed, Ikram was only trying to find someone to bring him into the auction house, and in his opinion, it didn't matter whose agent he became.

But Leon apparently doesn't think so......

"I'm here to redeem you, Ikram."

Leon threw the parchment he had just written in his hand in front of Ikram: "50,000 dinars...... You're worth a lot! Sign your name and put a handprint, and you will be my servant from now on! I'll take you away now—at least then you won't die!"

The blood on the parchment had not dried, but it was clear that Ikram had been bought as a prisoner of war by Leon, Earl of Long River, for 50,000 dinars.

"I'm already a wreck...... Why did you pay such a high price to save me?"

Ikram looked at the parchment in a daze, and then at Leon in a daze, and the doubt in his eyes deepened.

"You're just blind in one eye, and you're all right with your hands and feet, so you're not a wreck. I'm actually a businessman, Ikram, and I didn't just spend so much money to save your life, but of course I want to be rewarded."

Leon pulled out another piece of parchment, and the quill dipped blood in Ikram's face again.

"Ikram, I respect your nobility, so it's not a slave trade, it's a debt. In other words, I paid for your death, but there will be a separate pact of allegiance between me and you—you will be loyal to me as a servant until you pay off the debt you owe me......

Li Ang still wrote as he wrote, saying, "According to the common rules in the mainland, this kind of debt will increase by 10% interest every month, but I am a kind person...... It's just five cents of interest for you every month, but it's a rollover, you know......

Seriously, Leon did only charge half of the market price......

You know, when Addis owed Brigitte money before, it was really a real interest rate of 10% every month, so Addis thought that he would not be able to pay it back for the rest of his life.

It's just that Bridget doesn't have a profit......

Ahem, it's not on anyway.

"Come on, sign this allegiance paper, and come with me...... Time is pressing, the auction is almost over, don't be stunned!"

Leon quickly wrote another deed of allegiance and handed it to Ikram.

Ikram gritted his teeth and scribbled his name with the quill that Leon had handed him, then dipped his blood in his fingerprints.

"Good...... I'll take this man first. Tell Ramon that I'll help him get out of the way and ask him to come to me on the top floor after the auction."

Leon turned to greet Ramon's men outside, and then walked straight out with Ikram.

Several of the men in black obviously knew Leon, nodded and untied the ropes on Ikram's body, and respectfully sent Leon out the door.

In fact, it wasn't going out, it was going upstairs - Leon didn't leave Ramon's hotel, he just took Ikram to the top floor of the hotel.

As with most hotels, the further up to the top floor, the more luxurious the rooms become.

Ramon's hotel, the top floor is full of luxury suites.

The most extravagant suite is Zero Zero One, which is more than 300 square meters, which is the residence that Ramon prepared for Leon.

It is probably equivalent to the "Tianzi Grade A upper room" in the East.

In addition to Leon, several other suites on this floor were originally occupied by several other distinguished guests, Gaius and Yunes, the two sons of Emperor Marius, and Alina.

However, at this time, these people should still be bidding on the second basement floor.

"Ikram, to be honest, Gaius is actually a good allegiance, but there is definitely no future with him......

Li Ang was drinking tea with Erlang's legs crossed in the room, looking a bit like the young master of the landlord's family.

"I don't understand...... Lord Leon, I must thank you for saving my life with kindness, but I don't understand what you want me to do?"

Ikram stood in front of Leon with his head down, which was indeed similar to the long-term work of the landlord's family.

"Well, I'll be clear, I want you to defect to the Bacchus Empire, and I'll make you Archon of Eichkoman...... You won't say no, will you?"

Leon smiled and handed Ikram a cup of tea.

Ikram was stunned again.

Of course he wouldn't say no - he never dreamed of such a good thing......

If Leon could make him an archon, it would mean that he essentially ruled over Eichkoman—the Descha would not obey the orders of the Bacchus, but they would certainly not resist Ikram, the son of the former lord of the city.

As for which country the allegiance is to, what does it matter?

"Lord Leon, this ...... But Eichkoman's belongings have not yet been determined......

Ikram was still awake at the moment, and he hadn't been carried away by Leon's pie.

"It'll be sure in a few minutes. Ikram, since you are Gaius's agent, you should know what kind of character Gaius is—he is a good man. Since he entrusted you to participate in the auction, it means that he is certainly not here to drive up prices, and the Bacchus Empire is determined to win it for Eichkoman. If I'm not mistaken, Gaius, a sincere man, must have given you a psychological price? How much? Two million dinars?"

Leon was speculating, because Ikram had said when he had previously held Tahir hostage that he would "pay two million for Singar."

The lord guessed right.

Because at this moment, Ikram looked at Leon with deep fear.

"How do you know...... When he gave the reserve price, it was only me and him, and no one else......

Ikram was probably wondering if Leon knew something like mind-reading.

"And he shouldn't have that much cash, he's going to trade it for land, right? I guess...... It is supposed to be a large amount of arable land that stretches from the west side of the fortress of Turda, south of the Sava fort to the village of Vida...... It's close to 100,000 acres, right?"

Leon guessed again—and guessed right.

"Why do you know everything...... Lord Leon, are you a prophet......

The fear in Ikram's one-eyed eye had turned to fear—he had probably assumed that Leon could read minds.

"Ikram, I'll be blunt, the Bacchus Empire will definitely get Eichkoman. But it was certainly not Gaius and Younes who got Eichkoman, but Miss Alina—I want you to do the same

Be loyal to her, and she will surely make you lord of Eichkoman."

For those who are frank, be frank;

For those who are willing to have a heart-to-heart, try to be sincere;

As for his subordinates who are only controlled by contract and power, it is necessary to maintain a sense of mystery, and Leon's image of "knowing everything" can make Ikram no longer have the idea of rebellion.

So Leon didn't explain anything, but gave instructions directly to Ikram.

"But...... Miss Alina is a woman, how did she get Eichkoman? You have to marry my sister to get this dowry...... And does she have that much power?"

Ikram asked, confused.

"The women of the Bacchus Empire are not like Descha, and Alina has more power in her hands than you think. As for who will marry Luha...... Your father doesn't care much about who Luha ends up marrying, does he?"

Leon shook his head and said.

"My father doesn't care about Luha, but I do! I must not let her fall into the fire pit!"

Hearing Leon mention Bahaman again, Ikram gritted his teeth, and the stunned young man was unconsciously agitated again.

"It seems that you really feel sorry for your sister, so let me do it, so that you can not only get Eichkoman, but also avoid making Ruha a victim......
