Chapter 1324 Waste of Natural Resources

Hearing this, I frowned and thought to myself: Ask me, how did I know that you wanted to be the city lord for Mao? You are really sick!

I think so, but I can't say it, it will kill me.

So, I put on a curious expression and said, "Why?"

"Because, my family."

Carter Horton's voice was low but powerful.

"My eldest son, the one you call the eldest young master, is born brave. At a young age, he has already shown strength beyond that of children of his own age. He is a born adventurer and a born king. However, because of an incident He suffered wounds that could not be healed due to the palace incident and lost the opportunity to become a strong man forever."

His eyes flickered, and there was blazing resentment in his eyes: "I am not an adventurer, and I am not born with that potential. But when I held my unconscious eldest son, I made up my mind to let those who hurt my child go. , received the harshest revenge in the world!"

"I did it, yes, I did it." He clenched his fists and slowly loosened his fists: "Just like the rumors among the neighbors in Airui City, I poisoned my elders and brothers because they were all hurt. My eldest son is the culprit!”

He roared as if no one else was watching, as if he didn't care that no one else knew about this disgusting past event.

After a long while, Carter Horton breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Sorry, I'm rude. Every time I mention this past incident, I can't help but get angry."

"It doesn't matter." I waved my hand and said, "I sometimes get angry because of some past events, and sometimes I even get angry for no reason."

"By the way, I heard that you have some entanglements with my second son?" he asked suddenly.

"There is a dispute," I said, "He wants to kill me, and at the same time, I also want to kill him."

Carter Horton was startled when he heard this, then sneered and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will hate you if you are so straightforward?"

"It doesn't matter," I said calmly, "Anyway, even if I don't say anything, you will definitely send someone to investigate. It would be better for me to admit it directly."

"Well, you are indeed an adventurer." He suddenly burst into laughter, and the previous murderous intention disappeared in this burst of wild laughter.

"I have no intention of interfering in the matter between you and my second son. Even if you really kill him, it doesn't matter."

After listening to Carter Horton's words, I was very confused: "What you said to me before, didn't you imply that once I touch your child, I will die miserably?"

"It seems you didn't listen to me carefully," he said slowly, "Although I am the father of my child now, I am also the king of Airui City."

Frowning slightly, I said, "What do you mean, I don't understand."

Carter Horton didn't explain anymore. He stood up slowly, walked to me, and said, "The banquet is about to begin. Come with me."

In the neat and clean restaurant, there is a long dining table, and a corner of the dining table is filled with all kinds of exquisite dishes.

I chewed it without any hesitation, not caring if it was against etiquette.

Carter Horton swallowed the food in his mouth, stared at me for a few seconds, and suddenly said: "Why do you eat so confidently?"

With my mouth full of food, I couldn't answer, so I gave him a puzzled look: "Huh?"

"Aren't you worried that I might poison the food?"

After swallowing all the food, I took another sip of juice and said, "I'm not worried at all."

"Where did you get your confidence?" he laughed.

"My identity," I said, "Everyone in my family knows about your invitation to me. If anything happens to me, they will immediately gather people to launch a revenge attack on you and your town. I dare not say anything about the orcs in Darsay City, but the dwarves and goblins of Fort Wych, and the elves and goblins of Moonlight City will definitely join forces to surround your Darsay City. By then, no matter how strong the alliance is, No matter how loyal your allies are, they will leave you."

After hearing what I said, Carter Horton didn't feel displeased at all. On the contrary, he laughed: "My second son is really not simple. He can actually make a heroic young man like you want to kill him. I really don't know what to do." Is it his great luck or his great misfortune.”

"I don't know whether he is lucky or not, but I know that it is indeed a great misfortune for me to know him."

"Oh?" Holden asked curiously: "Tell me the story between you and my second son."

I had no intention of hiding it, and besides, the fat middle-aged man was quite polite, so I told him about all the entanglements that had happened between me and Carter Scott.

After hearing this, Holden burst into laughter and said, "It turns out that the first time you guys made enemies was in the tomb of my ancestor. But, what are you doing in the tomb of my ancestor?"

"What else can I do, besides looking at the magnificent scenery in the tombs of the ancestors of the Carter family, just to see if there are any valuable things and grab a few of them."

"You really have no taboos in what you say," Holden said, "You dare to say that in front of me."

"I'm just telling the truth. Besides, if I say that the purpose of entering the mausoleum is to see the heroic appearance of the ancestors of the Carter family and feel the majesty of the ancestors, would you believe me?"

"I don't believe it," Carter Horton said.

"That's alright. Instead of telling a lot of lies that people won't believe, it's better to just tell the truth."

"Looking at your tone just now, it seems like you've been robbing tombs a lot," Holden asked.

"Well, yes," I said, "I have indeed robbed many tombs, some famous and some unknown, but most of them are unknown."

"Which famous tombs have you robbed?"

"Well, I can't remember the specifics. Anyway, I've robbed the tombs of several big families. There's no way. I was poor at that time. If I didn't want to starve to death on the streets, I had to find ways to make ends meet."

"You can go to the dungeon to spawn monsters. That's much safer than robbing a tomb," Holden said.

"You're right," I said, "but sometimes I get carried away when I'm spawning monsters. If I'm not careful, I might forget to pick up the coins that exploded. When I go back to pick them up, the coins on the ground have already been picked up by others. After they were picked up, the money I earned in one day was only enough to maintain the weapons."

“You can hire followers so you don’t have to worry about your money being picked up.”

"What you are saying is," I said, "but, followers need to pay a deposit. I don't even have money for food, so why should I pay the deposit!"

Hearing this, Holden laughed heartily and said: "It makes sense, it makes sense."

"So," I said, "in order to make ends meet, I had to go from mausoleum to mausoleum to see if there were any valuable items. I caught two of them and sold them. Hey, I had enough food for a few days. Sometimes if you’re lucky, you won’t have to worry about food and drink for a month.”

Holden burst into laughter again. After laughing, he said: "The tomb is full of rare treasures, but you only exchanged it for a few days of food. Isn't it a bit of a waste?"
