1249 Tradition

At this time, in the old noble's home, he looked at the little earl's uncle with a particularly gloomy expression.

"I asked... and he proved that I did not give any orders for people to attack other people's properties. If this order did not come from me, it must have been issued by you."

In front of him, Kipling's face was equally ugly. He looked at the old nobleman with a bit of resentment.

When faced with this question, he shook his head firmly, "I didn't do it, I'm not that stupid, and you told me to stop."

"Do you dare to swear?" the old noble asked.

Kipling then raised his hands and swore to God in Gefra that he was not responsible for any of this.

Sometimes it is difficult to understand the brain circuits of the Federation people and the Gefra people. They do blasphemous things while at the same time being full of pure faith at certain times.

Criminals who have committed countless horrific crimes put their hands on Bibles in court and swear that everything they say is the truth, and people just fucking believe it.

They would rather believe people's ridiculous oaths than scientific evidence and factual evidence.

After watching Kipling make an extremely vicious oath, the old noble became even more confused, "If it wasn't you, then who did it?"

While he was thinking about this problem, the phone rang.

After he picked it up, his expression became worse and worse. It was already bad enough, but now it's even worse!

In fact, to him, Kipling itself has no value, but if he throws Kipling out to the little earl, even if the little earl apologizes in front of everyone, it is equivalent to him subduing, which is equivalent to the entire family subduing.

Not to mention the properties in Kipling's hands, he hasn't gotten much after thinking about it for so long. Once Kipling leaves, these assets will also be taken away and will never be obtained again.

This was something the old noble could not bear. He originally thought that His Excellency the Duke could give him a good solution. But now, it seems that is not the case.

After he hung up the phone, he lowered his head slightly, which was rare for him. He looked at Kipling, and his eyes were like the eyes of some kind of predator, which was scary.

After about ten seconds, maybe half a minute, he said to Kipling, "The young earl made a request to the Privy Council. He asked that we must give up our protection of you and hand you over to him..."

Kipling's expression turned frightened in an instant. He fought to the death with his brother's only son for the title, and also found many outsiders to put pressure.

After the failure, he directly stole the family's assets, then betrayed the family, married someone else's daughter, and joined another family.

These are unforgivable things for the nobles, and now the little earl actually wants to use his "belonging" as a compromise condition. This makes Kipling realize that the little earl really wants to kill him!

He was frightened and frightened. The old nobleman's words revealed that this matter was the Duke's intention. The Duke approved of such a deal, and he felt panicked for a moment.

Seeing Kipling's changing expression, the old nobleman suddenly gave him some comfort, "Don't worry, I won't hand you over to him. No matter what you say, you are still my daughter's husband. We are a family."

"Maybe there are some conflicts between us, but that is our own business. Not abandoning any family members is the purpose of our family!"

"If they want to start a war, let's do it!"

The old nobleman now saw very clearly that whether he handed over Kipling or not, his own dignity would not be maintained.

The only way to protect one's dignity is to fight and solve problems in the traditional aristocratic way!

He is very old. When he was a child, he had seen the fights between nobles, which resulted in bloody blows. After the fight, most of the things would be solved!

Since the little earl made things difficult for him, why did he continue to tolerate it?

As for the plans of the Privy Council, they have nothing to do with him now. If he doesn't mess around, will he definitely be able to get the power he wants in the future?

Not necessarily, he is not a top noble such as a hereditary duke or marquis, so he will definitely be able to hold various actual powers after the implementation of the new system.

Since he is not necessarily the beneficiary of this matter... no, he cannot be regarded as a beneficiary at all. Why should he harm his own interests in order to safeguard the interests of others?

Furthermore, even if he obeyed Duke Phoenix's arrangement and handed over the people and the property, his reputation for weakness would probably spread among the aristocratic circles.

Can a weak person hold an important position in the political system of the new era?

This is obviously impossible!

The old nobleman who quickly had such recognition and decision immediately made a judgment.

Since any choice will lead to the worst outcome, then just don’t choose it and follow the rules of the nobility!

The old nobleman's words did not make Kipling feel very relaxed. He knew the old nobleman very well.

When both parties didn't know each other very well at the beginning, he felt that the old nobleman was a good person. He not only supported him in competing for the title, but was also willing to provide him with some assistance in other aspects.

Later he discovered that all this was for greater benefits, so that now he has no way to leave the family.

When someone who wanted him to die immediately so that he could receive all his assets suddenly offered to help him, he felt that something was wrong.

The old nobleman did not give him more time and space to think, and continued, "Whether you did those things or not, we have no way out now."

"There is no way I would hand you over and let your nephew humiliate you. After all, your wife is my daughter and you are a member of my family."

"And you also have no retreat. You must rush forward, otherwise your life will be limited to this!"

Kipling did not express his position immediately. After thinking for a while, he asked carefully, "Then what should I do?"

"Fight back!", the old nobleman immediately gave his decision, "Fight back hard!"

Kipling was a little surprised. He really didn't expect that the old noble would actually support him. He was suddenly touched.

But he soon began to devote himself to "revenge". Yes, he thought this was revenge. He suffered the most terrible humiliation in his life. People all over the world may have seen his butt.

He's a bit of a narcissist, and not everyone is interested in his ass, just some women, and some fags.

This is a stain that he cannot erase in his life, and it is possible that because of this stain, he will never be separated from the title.

It is impossible for the royal family to give a title to a clown who appears in the newspaper with his bare buttocks. That would be the greatest humiliation to the royal family and the entire aristocracy!

The little earl has such a terrible thought. He has cut off his "road to the lordship". How can Kipling not hate him to the bone?

The two sat together for a while and decided on an act of revenge!

If the Little Earl's people can destroy their shop, then they can also destroy the Little Earl's property!

Before Kipling left, the old noble told him proudly and arrogantly that his family had many properties in the imperial capital and even the empire, while the young earl did not have many.

They lost several shops and properties, which were all insignificant matters, but once the little earl lost some properties, it would be devastating to his income!

"We will definitely suffer some losses, but we can afford it, but they can't. In the end, they must give up first!"

"Go and let people see our bravery!"

With the support of the old nobles, more than thirty people were quickly recruited from the family, and these people were all servants of the family.

Their parents are also servants of the family, and there is no need to doubt their loyalty to the family.

These young men are all in their twenties and are physically strong.

The food of the nobles is very good, and the food of the servants is also very good. They usually do some rough work, and at night they also maintain the security of the manor or villa or other buildings.

With these men, Kipling vowed to give his damn nephew a surprise and a lesson!

The little earl didn't have many properties in the imperial capital. He originally had some, but they were all taken away by his uncles and aunts, leaving only a few shops.

His main business is now in the Amelia region, and the business here can be said to be unimportant.

"Where do you think they'll attack first?"

The little earl had no consciousness of being a "victim" at all, but was very interested in discussing with Lynch the direction of the other party's first move.

Lynch did not answer him directly because he did not know, "Which of these industries do you think was the most important to you in the past?"

Such illuminating questions are precisely what the young earl lacks most at the moment.

He does not have a father who has been fighting with the nobles in the Privy Council for half his life. He is given all kinds of experience step by step. He can only rely on himself for his growth!

When I heard this question at this time, many answers were filtered through my head.

"Finance Company!", he shouted, "Yes, it is the Finance Company, that must be their first target of attack!"

There are also financial companies in Gefra, and the main parties involved in this business are the nobles.

The nobles have this tradition.

In ancient times, the Middle Ages and even modern times, nobles would lend seeds to the people under their rule, and then obtain a large amount of food from them during the harvest season.

"Seed loans" may be one of the earliest forms of loan sharking.

If the common people in the fief encountered something that needed money, they would also borrow money from the nobles. This itself was the responsibility of the nobles.

As lords, they have the responsibility to provide all kinds of help to their people when they need them!

If there is anything that is very stable in making money and is not so inconspicuous, it must be a financial company!
