Chapter 1641 The Helpless City Lord

Can Master Dewey's son do whatever he wants?

Isn’t this a disguised statement: If you have money, you can do whatever you want?

Yes, you are right, you can really do whatever you want with money.

And not only do I have money, but I also have an army.

I wanted to choke him with these words, but I was afraid that this guy would really jump over the wall, give an order, take me down, and behead me in public. How wronged I would be!

I came here alone this time, but I was very determined. If it weren't for the purpose of unilaterally deterring the other party, why would I bother?

After a long silence, I said calmly: "I digressed, let's get back to the topic. I just want to ask Your Majesty, do you plan to abandon the Knights of the Round Table, or do you plan to live and die with it and never abandon it?"

This was a very tough question, no different from a forced question, but it was done on purpose.

From the beginning, I showed a tough attitude, so in the end, I still have to show the same tough attitude.

Anticlimactic will make people look down upon.

Carter Horton stared at me for a while, then suddenly laughed. After laughing, he stood up, straightened the hem of his silk shirt, walked slowly towards me, and said loudly: "As expected of a young hero, He speaks tough and straightforwardly, unlike an old man like me who only looks forward and backward and dare not judge easily."

"You are mature and prudent." I smiled and said, "I want to learn too, but I am too young to learn, and my personality is not suitable. I am just like a stone, hard and cold. Although it is annoying, at least I can Hold your true heart and not be intruded by external objects or blinded by temptations.”

"Let's get down to business," Holden said solemnly: "If I help you this time, what can you give me in return?"

"Did you misunderstand something?" I said calmly: "You only focused on the reward, but you ignored a very important thing."

"What is it?"

"The woman who was being hunted died precisely because she was severely injured in an ambush in Airui City. Just like this, do you still want to repay me?"

With a chuckle, I continued: "If she had a smooth journey in Airui City, I would naturally owe you a favor, but now the situation is the opposite. I feel that not bearing your grudge because of this matter is already the greatest thing to you. It’s a blessing, isn’t it?”

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became cold.

Carter Horton demanded repayment, and I demanded that he hand over the Knights of the Round Table for free.

The two phases are in a stalemate and cannot fit together.

Just when we were tit for tat, refusing to give in to each other, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open, and a middle-aged man with an expressionless face walked in quickly, walked quickly to Holden's side, and whispered to him.

After just a few words, Carter Horton's expression suddenly changed, and the eyes he looked at me also contained strong emotions. I couldn't tell whether it was anger or helplessness, but I was sure that it was not happiness.

After waving his hand and driving the man out of the room, Carter Horton took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Since I came to power, no one in the land of Airui City has ever dared to disobey me, let alone threaten me. You It’s the first one.”

He stretched out his index finger and kept pointing at me. His trembling fingers seemed to be having an epilepsy and he couldn't stop.

Sighing deeply, Holden weakly lowered his right hand, took two steps back, slumped on the chair, and said feebly: "If you win, I will contact York City and hand over the Knights of the Round Table Guild."

"I hope you can unite with the Lord of York and Seoul and sell the Knights of the Round Table to me." Still looking relaxed and indifferent, I walked back to the chair, sat down slowly, put my arm on my chin, and looked at the weak Holden playfully. , smiled and said: "If you can do it, I will be very grateful."

Holden smiled sarcastically: "Gratitude without repayment is nothing."

"Do you really think that I have no repayment?" I shook my head and said, "Then you have wrongly blamed me. You must know my status as the prime minister of Dashai City, right?"

Holden frowned: "So what if you know?"

"Recently, I heard that a mine purchased by Dashai City on public land was occupied by a group of well-trained bandits. What do you think of this matter?"

Holden was slightly stunned, remained silent for a long time, and said hoarsely: "I'm sorry you can tell their identities."

"It's not difficult at all," I denied, "It's just that the person who came up with this plan was a little stupid. Dasai City has just expelled the bandits and bandits, so you send people over to pretend to be bandits and bandits and occupy the mines, okay? , assuming that there are such bold bandits who are not afraid of death, but have you ever thought that many bandits and bandits are wandering adventurers, how can they show the temperament of a well-trained regular army? Oh, I forgot, you If you are not an adventurer, it is no wonder that you would come up with such a plan."

"Where's the reward?" Holden asked directly, no longer beating around the bush.

"The reward is that I did not leak the conclusions of the analysis."

"So, this is your reward?" Holden sneered: "Didn't you report the truth to the Orc King as the prime minister of Darsay City?"

"That's not the case." I shook my head and said, "It's just that this invasion with obvious intentions was not reported to Moonlight City and Fort Vicky. You must be very clear about the contents of the Three Kingdoms Agreement, and you won't understand this obvious implication. Actions suspected of aggression will have consequences."

Holden looked at me coldly and said in a deep voice: "Your aggressive character is very much like one of my brothers."

I smiled calmly and said, "Your arrogant and arrogant character is also very similar to an opponent I once encountered."

The conversation ended here. We raised our teacups and touched them lightly. Carter Horton said: "This is the first time and hopefully the last time we will raise our cups and drink together."

"Don't be so heartless," I said with a smile, "Mountains and rivers do not change, but we all have a long way to go. Maybe we will be able to toast together, drink together, and hold candles and talk freely."

Holden sneered again, got up, and left.

Before going out, he said: "I would like to trouble you not to leave Airui City in the past few days. Once everything is arranged here, I will send someone over and present all the arrangements to you."

"Then thank you Your Majesty."

Little Red Fish then came in, brought a pot of hot water, and made a new pot of tea. While pouring the tea for me, he said: "This is the first time I have seen a person from Airui City dare to talk to the city lord like this, and still survive. .”

"He doesn't mind killing me, but he's worried that if he kills me, he and his family will die," I said coldly.

Sipping my tea, I continued: "But I finally figured out why he was so ruthless, especially towards the residents of the slums."

"Oh?" Little Red Fish asked, "Why?"

"He doesn't regard those people as human beings at all." I frowned and said in a deep voice: "He only treats those people as tools that can contribute. They have no human rights and no freedom. They will use them wantonly and exploit them crazily. As long as there is still breath, as long as If you can still get up, you have to continue to be used until you die.”
