Chapter 146 Dark Alliance (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!)
Baron Adrian did not take a carriage, but came to Nasir Town alone. As a result, he was sensed by the "black mirror" barrier given by Viscount Bester just a few steps into the town.
He suddenly heard a familiar male voice ringing around him.
"Sir Adrian, you are finally here. I am still wondering whether you will come here or go to Viscount Garcia overnight."
That voice was steady and powerful, it was Byrne Fisher’s voice!
"Sir Byrne?"
Adrian was shocked. He had no idea where the sound came from. Even Byrne could not be seen around him.
Where is he?
In fact, Byrne had left a voice imprint in advance in a secret place that he had not discovered, and the sentence inside was also the voice that Byrne had already recorded.
There are only a few entrances to Nasir Town normally, and Adrian is not hostile and will not go around in circles when coming from Black Mountain Town, so it is easy for Byrne to predict in advance where Adrian will come from. Come in.
"He can easily know everyone's every move in Nasir Town?"
Adrian fell silent.
He soon noticed that Nasir Town was different.
It was already night, but he found that there were still civilians wandering around the town, not afraid of being robbed.
Moreover, even the places where civilians live in the town are clean and tidy. There are no prostitutes on the streets like other towns, let alone brawlers and thieves.
Adrian was confused. Most of the nobles in Siart did not pay much attention to the living conditions of civilians.
Even in the city of Fein, in the center of the East Coast, and Port Phipps, which has just become the second city of the East Coast Province, civilians are living in chaos.
Let alone slums, even where ordinary civilians live, thieves, prostitutes, and people fighting can be seen everywhere.
"It's really strange. Why is the security in Nasir Town so good and the living environment so clean? What's the point of Fisher spending so much energy and money on this?"
Adrian couldn't understand the point of pleasing the common people.
Then he came to Fisher Manor and soon saw a burly old butler with a military temperament already waiting for him calmly in front of the black iron door with his hands behind his back.
"Mr. Adrian, please go ahead. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Tio bowed politely and calmly invited Adrian into Fisher Manor.
When Adrian arrived at the reception room of Fisher Manor, he saw the mature Byrne reading a black book, and the servants had already made tea.
"Sir Adrian, you are here. Is Ms. Yiwen Jielin okay? That child is indeed a very cute little guy."
Byrne put down the book in his hand and nodded with a smile. The meaning in his words made Adrian silent for a long time.
Adrian took a sip of tea and said, "Sir Byrne, I have something to say to you directly. I have seen the tragic situation of the entire Keyes family, so I don't want to fight with you at all."
Byrne nodded and answered calmly:
"Well, I also think that cooperation is better than fighting. And if our two families really fight, no matter what the outcome, the Aiwen family will be wiped out from the world."
Adrian frowned and said nothing, but waited for Byrne to continue.
"Because you also know very well how much the Lion Family values Fisher. Viscount Garcia will not be afraid, but you certainly cannot afford Viscount Best's revenge."
This was indeed the truth, and Adrian could only nod helplessly.
The Lion Family's support for the Fisher Family over the years has actually been noticed by every family in the East Coast Province. Many people find this very strange.
Why is Viscount Best so nice to Baron Byrne?
Many people even suspected that Viscount Best was Byrne's biological father. Lucius, who had few deeds, might just be a subordinate of the Lion family. There were also rumors that Viscount Best actually wanted to Possessing Byrne's young and handsome body has been a long time coming.
To be honest, no matter what the reason was, Adrian felt it was outrageous.
But no matter what the reason was, he did not dare to fight to the death with the Fisher family.
"Even if we defeat you, we are only making profits for Viscount Garcia. Many people in the Irvine family will die, and they will be annexed by Garcia's Growler family at any time. It is not cost-effective."
Adrian also understood one thing very well. No matter how much effort and bloodshed the Irwin family exerted on the front line, they would not be Viscount Garcia's relatives after all.
By then, they are likely to become a knife that is thrown away after use.
"Since Sir Adrian thinks clearly, we should have no dispute."
After hearing this, Byrne smiled and said: "It's just that you also need something to communicate with Viscount Garcia, right?"
"Yes, that's true."
Adrian smiled bitterly and felt a headache. The Irvine family was now dependent on the Growler family. If Viscount Garcia found out that he had come over to form a secret alliance, it would be over.
Moreover, he must also produce some "achievements".
Byrne laughed, waved his hand to indicate not to worry, and continued:
"It's a very simple thing. After you come here this time, I will release the news that the factory in the town has been damaged, stop the factory for a period of time, and then send someone to give a heavy gift to your family to 'apologise' and 'submit.'"
Adrian's eyes lit up, and then he heard Byrne continue.
"Although Garcia is warlike and bloodthirsty, he is actually a very careful and careful person. Our dark alliance cannot keep it a secret forever. We can only deal with him for a while."
Adrian couldn't help but ask again: "What about after a while?"
Byrne smiled and took a sip of tea, held his fingers slightly, and said calmly: "In a few months, Garcia might suddenly die of illness, don't you think? Hahaha! After all, except for the great gods, no one can predict What will happen before tomorrow?”
Will Viscount Garcia die?
Adrian was startled and looked at Byrne, who was always smiling, in shock. He did not dare to continue asking, but his back was wet with a lot of sweat again.
Byrne smiled and quickly dropped the previous topic: "Ewen Jielin is a good girl. When she grows up, it would actually be good for our two families to get married."
Adrian was stunned for a moment, smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "This matter is not urgent."
Yiwen Jielin has inherited a strong bloodline power and is likely to be qualified to become the next head of the family. It is not in the interests of the family to send her out for marriage.
But he also knew that Byrne was just talking casually.
After Adrian left, Byrne pondered for a long time, then calmly picked up the book he had just put down and continued reading.
Compared with other times, he still feels that only reading time can make people completely relaxed.
It is not difficult to deal with the Aiwen family, but it is definitely a bad move to start a full-scale war with them.
Byrne knew very well that because the Fisher family had defeated powerful enemies several times, Viscount Garcia must have sensed something was wrong.
He was afraid of the hidden power of the Fisher family, so he chose to throw the Irwin family as cannon fodder in order to test their truth.
Byrne said to himself: "Viscount Garcia, it seems that you are determined to get rid of Fisher."
Tio suddenly walked in and said respectfully: "Master, Mr. John is about to die."
Byrne put down the book and was silent for a long time.
"John."
Is he going to die?
Byrne still remembers the family's first pot of gold, which was earned by his father taking Irene to John. Now the shrewd maritime businessman who has been shrewd all his life will finally be taken away by the cold god of death.
"Well, I'll go take a look."
In the past twenty years, John's family has become stronger and stronger relying on the powerful power of the Fisher family. They have become the largest large merchant family in the East Coast Province.
When they arrived at the John family's mansion, there were already many people surrounding them. They were all the connections John had accumulated in the past.
Everyone bowed their heads in greeting when they saw Byrne, and no one dared to make any noise.
When John's eldest son saw Baron Byrne, he immediately came over and bowed, saying with red eyes:
"You are finally here, Mr. Byrne. My father has always wanted to see you. He is already dying. Ms. Irene said that his life span has expired and there is no way to treat him."
"Um."
Byrne nodded calmly, and then went to the room where John was lying alone, while Tio, the servants, and the people of John's family stayed in the hall, waiting quietly.
That room was the room where John almost died of illness and was cured by Irene. It was also where the Fisher family made their first pot of gold.
The old John, with his wrinkled face and white hair, was lying weakly on the bed. It was obvious that he was about to die.
The room was dark and there was no light, because as long as the light was on, the dying John would yell and wail.
"Mr. John, I'm here."
Byrne's voice was gentle when he spoke, and he walked slowly over in the darkness and sat calmly next to the old man.
In recent years, John spent money like crazy to buy information and mysterious medicines from the spiritual world, and went to the spiritual world several times, always trying to find an adventure that could turn ordinary people into extraordinary beings, but he never got any good results.
Being cunning and shrewd, he is indeed very lucky in the spiritual world. As an ordinary person, he has not died even once. Or perhaps because he knows how to avoid danger, he has not been able to get the rewards he really wanted.
John weakly opened his eyes and stared at Byrne in the darkness. He could not see his face clearly and sighed:
"You're here, Lord Byrne. I didn't expect that twenty years would pass in the blink of an eye. It's so fast, so fast..."
"Ahem, I remember when you were a child and you didn't even dare to talk to outsiders, haha!"
Byrne nodded calmly in the darkness and said, "Yes, time flies by very quickly."
John was silent for a long time and suddenly asked: "Actually, there is one thing that I have always wondered about. That is, does your Fisher family have any special method that can turn ordinary people into extraordinary beings?"
Byrne was silent for a long time in the dark, so long that John was a little scared.
"yes."
Sure enough, John suddenly thought about many things, his whole body was shaking, and he couldn't help but yell!
"I know, I've figured it all out! So that's it, that's it. No wonder Ms. Irene has come to me several times to talk about heretical remarks, and I understand them all!"
"Byrne! You clearly know my dream! I have paid so much over the years just to get extraordinary power!"
He stretched out his hand crazily, pointed at Byrne viciously and shouted:
"You have kept it from me so hard! You have deceived me so miserably! Hahahahaha, I hate you! Fisher, you bunch of liars, you heretics!"
Byrne suddenly grabbed John's hand and stared at him coldly.
"What? Do you deserve real power?"
"John, you should know in your heart now that Fisher has given you a chance, but you are too smart and have never wanted to be deeply bound to us, right?"
He lowered his voice and continued: "Risks and benefits are proportional. As a businessman working hard at sea, don't you understand this?"
John felt a strong pain coming from his hand and was shocked. In the darkness, he could see the man's eyes, which were as deep as the deep sea, like a dark vortex that could easily see through all secrets and swallow everything around.
He was terrified, and his body was wriggling and trembling like a limp worm, without the slightest strength!
In the darkness, Byrne continued calmly: "Does anyone else in your family know the speculation just now?"
John was so scared that he trembled all over, knowing that the man in front of him was no longer the timid boy who dared not see people, but a big man who could kill his whole family with just one word!
"No! No! Don't kill them, I beg you, Byrne, I am the only one who is crazy!"
Byrne nodded calmly and said gently:
"Well, you are telling the truth, John, I remember that your youngest son has not married yet, so let Theo's eldest daughter marry him."
John took a deep breath, smiled bitterly, and said:
"Okay, okay, okay, from now on, everything in the family will be handed over to Fisher! My children are also willing to work for you..."
"I have prepared the transfer contract and signed it. It is under my pillow, cough cough cough, cough cough..."
Byrne nodded gently and said sincerely: "Don't worry, I promise that your family will not decline in the next few decades."
John finally let out a long breath, closed his eyes, and finally realized that some qualities of Byrne had not changed.
Byrne left the room calmly and walked to the hall to look at the John family. Everyone looked at him first.
He took a deep breath, his eyes turned red, and tears could be seen vaguely.
"Please accept my condolences. Mr. John, the Fisher family's forever loyal friend, just passed away."
"I believe he has returned to the arms of God and will surely find true peace."
