Chapter 1382 Section 16. Changes and Newcomers

Annan immediately understood that the rude Duke of Violet was deliberately for them to see.

As for why...

"Annan, I have seen many excellent young people, but they are far inferior to you." Duke Violet slowly tapped the head of the stick with his jewel scepter.

"When other young people are still competing for meaningless things, trying to attract female gazes like animals, you are already a man who is looking far away."

The Duke of Violet's eyes were filled with unconcealed appreciation.

"So I don't mind Kaitlina being with you."

"Thank you... Hum?" Annan raised his head: "You misunderstood. Caitlina and I are just friends."

"This is enough. You are also a nobleman. You should know that many nobles have never even met before they get married."

Annan is not very adapted to the straightforward and even transactional remarks like Duke of Violet.

"Is Kaitrina not outstanding?"

“Excellent, just…”

Annan really wanted to say that there were more excellent women around him... but this was accused of belittlement, so he had to smile modestly: "It seems that you care a lot about Kaitlina and came to Liberty City from the south in person."

Speaking of his daughter, the Duke of Violet looked much softer: "Besides her, I'm here for you."

Annan's depository made the Southern Union's members almost quarrel.

Although the nobles have shortcomings such as arrogance, prejudice, greed and arrogance, there is only one thing - they are not stupid people.

Perhaps the environment will cause them to misjudgment some things because of their ignorance, such as the Grand Lord of Raymond. But even if you only look at the surface, the industry like the depository that can absorb a large amount of money is a shining rich mine.

They were upset about why they didn't expect such a simple method of making money. Many congressmen thought it was an opportunity. Kaitlina ran out without authorization and sent him to negotiate.

"The Southern Council is very interested in your savings, maybe we can work together."

"Sorry, the savings fund is related to the core technology of Liberty City, and we will not cooperate with others." Annan refused without thinking.

It’s either he eats alone...well, it’s just eating alone.

The cake in the cash store is too big. Think about it, an ordinary baron can only receive two or three hundred jinars in a year, but the money it circulates in a year is as many as thousands or tens of thousands of jinars, dozens of times the tax.

And the savings can put this liquid money into your own pocket.

Even if the empire wants to get a piece of the pie, he has to hesitate. How could he give in just a few words from the Duke of Violet?

"We cooperate, your savings will be more favored by nobles and merchants in the south."

The Duke of Violet almost said the three to seven.

But Annan's attitude was very firm.

He was like a greedy dragon, turning all the bastards who dared to covet his treasure into ashes with dragon breath.

The Duke of Violet, who was hit by the wall, lowered his smile and ended in an unhappy manner with Annan.

Annan guessed that he would bargain with him next, but he didn't expect to use a simpler and more rude method - to control Kaitlina and refuse her to go out to practice.

Faro Barros went there and was driven back.

Seeing that time passed day by day and the crew was ready, Kaitlina was reluctant to show up.

And Olmedo also learned the whole story from Annan through chatting.

Annan has no disgust towards Kaiterina. Who can reject a smart, sensible, and simple girl?

She was innocent—he could tell it, not because Kaitlina didn't ask for the bag of gems.

"Why are both arrogant and disgusting?"

Annan was indignant, but he didn't expect that Olmedo suddenly shouted like stress: "No!"

"What's not okay?" Annan asked in confusion.

"Aren't you going to kill Duke Violet?"

"Do I look like a war madman?"

"Isn't it?"

Olmedo counts Annan's achievements in detail - North, South, Middle-earth, Wilheim... He fights almost everywhere he goes, and the imperial people have to give him a thumbs up when they see it.

Although Annan never takes it himself.

"That's because they are all enemies, and Caitlina's father is not, he is just taking the opportunity to get benefits..."

"Maybe he did it on purpose."

"What's the meaning?"

Olmedo said: "The Duke of Violet is a registered member of the House of Representatives of the Southern States. How could he come to you carelessly and want to get a share of the pie? I think he is using this method to force you to make a decision."

Annan scratched his head and felt his scalp itchy...

...

Annan felt it was troublesome, but so was the Violet Duke.

His daughter did not attract the warlock, and she failed to try to bind him with her interests. She used the strength of the Southern Alliance to suppress him, but he still had a layer of identity as a suspected saint... so hard that she had nowhere to quit.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

"Father, I want this character," Kaitlina begged.

The Duke of Violet made a heartbroken: "We have to go back... Daughter, there are many good characters, and we can also take magical images."

Caitlina has never disobeyed her father in the past... Of course not this time.

"Master, why don't you let the lady stay?" The housekeeper couldn't bear to say as she looked at the lady going out in disappointment.

"Because I'm a member of parliament."

The Duke of Violet looked out the window, as if he wanted to imprint the prosperous Free City in his eyes.

"The Confederacy is a whole. I leave Kaitlina here and they will think I betray the collective and thus expel me from the center of rights."

The butler realized something: "That is, it's not what you want to come on your own initiative, Master?"

The Duke of Violet said nothing.

...

When the news that the Duke of Violet was about to take Caitlina away came, Annan finally couldn't help but bring Faro Barros to visit.

"Duke, this shouldn't be a deal."

"Have you thought about it?" Duke Violet was leaning on a scepter, and the housekeeper and guard behind him were carrying their luggage.

Caitlina apologized: "Sorry, my father can't do anything..."

Annan sighed, "Do you know what kind of opportunity you lost to your daughter?"

The Duke of Violet swept over Faro Baros in a low contempt and said without any mercy: "The opportunity to follow the clown to play crazy and stupid?"

He may have a hidden secret, but his contempt for Faro Barros is real.

The nobles care about bloodlines the most, followed by face. And a guy like Faro Barros who can lick other people's boots in order to survive is simply a shame to the nobles.

Faro Barros stood there in embarrassment, a man in his forties seemed at a loss.

Annan suddenly swallowed the words to keep.

"Goodbye, Lord Annan."

The Duke of Violet led Kaitlina, who was bowing his head, ignored Faro Barros and walked past Annan.

Annan turned around and watched Caitlina and her father sitting in the carriage on the street, heading towards the port, and suddenly spoke, "Faro Barros."

Faro Barros next to him raised his head and habitually showed the flattering smile that had been hanging on his face for more than a decade.

"You come to play Truman."
