The look of shock lingered on Kate's face for a few seconds, which was already very rare after he became famous. (Please search Bayi Chinese Net, the fastest updated novel website!) Curt drank tea quietly, and waited until Lan Kate gathered his brows before he said solemnly:

"You simply want me to quit, so what will happen to you? At best, it's just a return to the past. Miss Catherine will still be harassed by Ramsay and Napier endlessly, what can you do about it? Take 10,000 steps back, Miss Catherine suddenly figured it out and decided to accept you, so will Master Jason ** and Master Evra ** say nothing? In their opinion, Miss Catherine is not as simple as the other half of her son. They used Miss Catherine as a prop that they could use to make their faces glow. ”

"You don't have to push the strings, I know that. ”

Lan Kate opened her mouth with a gloomy face, and then slowly poured the tea into her mouth. He showed a serious weighing expression, and then said to Curt, who had put down the empty teaglass:

"Please continue to talk about your thoughts, but please cut out the boring provocation and fuss. Ioham said that there are no fools in this world. So please analyze the facts, I want to make sure that I have missed something. ”

"You know everything you need to know, there's nothing to be verbose. You also know in your heart that Miss Catherine has a reason to refuse to be thousands of miles away. Otherwise, the result will only be mud and sand. In fact, she couldn't find a good match, and Ramsey and Napier blocked the road. I believe that a young man who approaches Miss Catherine will easily end up miserable, and if it weren't for my skills, I am afraid I would not be able to sit here and drink tea with you today. ”

Curt calmly finished speaking, and watched as Lan Kate began to think seriously again. In Curt's view, Kate Rankate may not feel much pressure from Ramsay and Napier. After all, Kate is not a general, and he has the ability to compete with Jason and Evra. However, the sons of those two ** divisions did drag down Lan Kate a lot, so that Lan Kate rarely had the opportunity to get close to Randall alone. That alone was enough to make Rankite resentful.

For several minutes, Kate did not speak. Curt took the teapot and poured himself a drink, without any pressure at all. For him, it is naturally best to be able to win over Blue Kate, and it does not hurt to fail. Today's conversation was just a whim on Curt, and he had no plans to convince Lankite to become an ally. The current situation is at best just Curt grabbing the other party's outstretched hand and hitting the snake with the stick.

"I'll think about it. ”

In the end, Lankite gave a very conservative answer, without making any guarantees. It was a reasonable outcome, and it would be strange if Lankate had promised to take down Jason with Curt. So Curt shrugged and got up from his chair. He looked down at Lan Kate, who was clasping his hands in thought, and said with a smile:

"I don't mind if you take the chance, that's the best way to go. I can understand your position, and there is no reason for you to casually accompany me to gamble. By the way, today we are just having tea and chatting, and nothing else. And I've clarified my relationship with Miss Catherine, so you don't need to target me anymore. ”

"Well, you don't have to say more, I know. ”

Lan Kai nodded, then tilted his head slightly, glaring at Curt. He played with his ten fingers and did a simple set of spell-casting exercises. As Curt began to walk up the stairs, Lankate suddenly said:

"Mr. Curt, I would like to ask, what are you so anxious for? ”

"I want to go up, so the quickest way to do that is to pull some waste down. ”

Curt thought about it for a moment and decided to say a little more. He looked back at Lan Kate, who twitched a few times in the corner of his eye, and said calmly:

"It's common sense to beat a strong enough opponent, preferably a big upset, to get a quick promotion. What's more, Jason and Evra are pests inside Thousand Laws City, they have long been decayed and ossified, and it would be good for Thousand Laws City to get rid of any of them. Well...... To be more honest, I might try to convince either Ramsay or Napier to kill each other, they should be easier to incite. Of course, that has to be after solving the problem of offending Jason's ** teacher. In this case alone, I have the ability to deal with it myself. ”

"Hehe, if necessary, you can also incite the two of them to come to me. All you want to do is defeat a strong enough enemy, and I'm a good stepping stone. ”

Blue Kate mockingly raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a hidden murderous smile. Curt was noncommittal about this, so Lan Kate let out a long sigh and said a little tiredly:

"Okay, I see. Regarding your construction, I will seriously consider it. Good luck, Mr. Curt. If I have the chance, I hope to have tea with you again. ”

"Thank you, in fact, in terms of the taste of tea selection, we are still very similar. ”

Kirt nodded, then took his leave. Ranket, who watched Curt leave, sat in silence for a long time, and the results of this meeting were far more than he expected.

Meanwhile, Ioham is drinking tea face-to-face with Jason. Jason, who was in his early sixties, was thin and wore a dark purple robe, which looked like an eggplant that had been left so long that it had withered and withered. He wore a long beard with a curled tail under his narrow awl face, and a broad-brimmed spired mage hat, which looked indescribably weird.

Due to the caster's refusal to drink alcoholic beverages, Jason has been drinking bland and tasteless tea for hours. He gave a verbal report to Ioham, mainly related to the Mercenary Guild. With a tired expression on his face, Eoham finally listened to Jason's chatter. Just as Ioham was about to send the other party away and take a break, Jason suddenly changed the subject, and he said in a shrill voice:

"By the way, Master Xi, you should know about Curt, right? Many people have told me that that young man doesn't know how high the sky is and how thick the sky is, and he should be taught a lesson. What do you think about the right setbacks that might help him grow?"

"You don't need my reminder, Jason. The Faceless Ones represent my will, and they are quite optimistic about Curt. ”

Ayom woke up from his slumber, his tone changing abruptly. In an instant, his gaze was as fierce as lightning. When Jason's face stiffened, Ioham said coldly:

"As it stands, Curt is the most promising young man in Thousand Laws City. I've been waiting for such a young man for a long time and don't have the patience to wait for the next one. ”

"Yes, yes, yes. ”

Cold sweat slipped down Jason's forehead, and he didn't expect Ioham's reaction to be so intense. In Jason's prediction, a small person like Curt should not be able to arouse Ioham's interest. As long as Eoreham doesn't express an opinion, or doesn't care, Jason can assume that he has obtained permission and then lash out at Curt. This isn't the first time Jason has wanted to eliminate a rival for his son, but it hasn't been as smooth sailing as usual.

So when Jason returned to his mansion in the center of the city, his heart was filled with gloom. Jason couldn't understand how much Eoham valued Curt, and he wondered if he was missing some important clues. At this time, Ramsay came out, and he said very uninterestingly:

"Father, father, you're finally back, I can clean up that bastard Curt......, right?

"Shut up!"

Jason roared, scaring Ramsey literally. He looked at Ramsay with disgust, disappointed in his unsuccessful son. If it weren't for Jason's love for his son after he was forty years old, so he was pampered, I'm afraid he would have been shaved by his eldest ear scraper.

After taking a deep breath to adjust his mood, Jason recovered. He clapped his hands, causing a vague figure to quietly appear. Jason turned and said to the silent figure:

"Brody, go to the Mercenary Guild and find some capable newbies. We can't touch Curt himself, and we can't attack the Black Tower head-on. Elsewhere, you see if there's anything worth starting. ”

"Yes. ”

Brody bowed deeply, then retreated into the shadows and vanished. He used to be the killer of the South, and now he is Jason's butler and confidant. Ramsey watched Brody leave with rare awe, and then said cautiously:

"Can I go with me? I'm going to see Curt unlucky. ”

"Get out. ”

Jason, who had no expectations for his son, roared under his breath and strode into the mansion. Now he needs to gather the backbone of his subordinates and discuss it properly. It's one thing to give Curt a color first, and it's another thing to discuss how to defeat Curt in detail. Jason had a hunch that he was going to be busy for a while, so he decided not to waste time on his stupid son.

That night, two letters of similar content were delivered to Curt. One was from Inquisitor Olga, and the other was from Lankate. Both letters were unsigned and condensed. From the letter, Curt learns that Jason has hired adventurers from the south to launch an attack on the Thieves' Guild at the docks.

"It's the best result......"

Curt shifted his gaze back and forth between the two letters, and a satisfied smile floated. It turns out that Olga is still on his side, and Kate has also shown that he is at least willing to support Curt against Jason. And both of them have great powers, and they can actually know what Jason is doing in private.

"It seems...... The Castle of Power forged by Jason's ** division has fallen into disrepair. Maybe just a few more bricks can be pulled out and you can watch it collapse. ”

Curt happily muttered to himself. It was only at this moment that he was convinced that he had a chance to win.
