The Emerald Tower

Chapter 102

In fact, Jack was already full of remorse after being almost "killed in one blow" by "Wild Fox" Mitt. 【This book is published by the author】

That feeling was something Jack had never tried before—as if at that moment, his most precious thing was taken away and crushed.

Even after he was expelled from the family and deprived of his inheritance rights by his brothers, he didn't feel such a sense of loss.

It's like, my heart has been hollowed out!

But now, with another chance, Jack naturally cherishes it very much.

And this kind of cherishing is naturally not based on lies and hypocrisy.

Sincerity finally replaces regret and unwillingness.

Dean saw this clearly.

To this, Dean nodded - in fact, Dean never thought about what to do with Jack, after all, the performance of the other party has reached above the passing line.

However, in order not to cause some unnecessary troubles in the future.

Dean had to give the other party some warnings.

However, judging from the current situation, it seems that it is unnecessary——

"Do you know what you should do from now on?"

Dean looked down at him.

"Know!"

Jack nodded.

"Very well, then two weeks, I'll give you another two weeks, I need to see what I want-not the kind of subordinates who are like grass on the wall, nor this kind of loose sand...I have already You got rid of Mitt for you, and I don't want to help you clean up the mess again... This is the last chance!"

Dean said, without waiting for Jack's answer, he walked towards Mitt's secret room.

The remorse and unwillingness shown by the other party have already given Dean the answer, so there is no need to hear the other party say it himself.

As for the secret room of 'Wild Fox' Mitt?

Like this kind of gang leader,

How could there be no secret room, not to mention, in the memory of the previous life. The eldest son of the Bora family made a fortune by relying on the collection of 'Wild Fox' Mitt.

For Dean, who lacks Kimpton, this naturally cannot be let go.

Inside the wardrobe in the bedroom. Dean discovers the passage to the Chamber of Secrets.

After passing through the narrow passage, a secret room hidden deep underground appeared in front of Dean.

Very wide, at least three times the size of the building above the head.

The several boxes illustrate the richness of the treasures here - more than half are Kimpton, a small number of gems, and some shady loot.

Kimpton has more than two thousand.

Even Dean, who was prepared, raised his eyebrows.

Undoubtedly, this kind of wealth, which far exceeded the worth of an ordinary baron, was enough to shock Dean so far.

And gems of equal value, and gems of more value.

Then Dean had to admire Mitt's money-making ability of "Wild Fox"-in fact, some boxes were empty. If these boxes are full, then the wealth must be even more.

As for the whereabouts of those wealth?

Dean thought on his toes and could understand.

When he was dying, 'Wild Fox' Mitt didn't forget to move out of his backer, so in order to repair his relationship with the second son of the Marquess of York. No amount of wealth is worth throwing away.

The bag containing the gemstones was put away by Dean—lightweight, small size, and high value are the reasons why Dean chose this.

Just like Kimpton, which can only be accommodated in seven or eight boxes, even if Dean wants to take it away, he needs more explanations when he returns to the Knights.

As for the swag?

Although they have greater value. But that 'garish' characteristic made them even more difficult to explain than those Kimptons.

What's more, the size of these stolen goods is not very small.

The tapestry the size of a wall, the crystal lamp taller than a person, and the collection of armor representing a nobleman's heroic family style all occupy a considerable area-in fact. Dean guessed that it was because of these special collections that the secret room became so large.

"You can use one of the boxes... As for the rest, if you don't want to die. You'd better not even touch it!"

Dean kicked one of the money boxes containing Kimpton, and said to Jack beside him.

"What you left for me before is enough!"

Jack shook his head, rejecting the offer.

"What I need is for you to turn this place into a territory that I can control as soon as possible, not how much of Kimpton?"

Dean raised an eyebrow.

"You have already killed 'Wild Fox' Mitt, and this place is already yours—I will, as you said, re-establish order here within two weeks!"

Jack said almost swearing.

And the next moment, Jack did just that——

"I swear by my own name, Jack: I will become a loyal follower of my lord, and, within two weeks, I will fulfill my promise to you, my lord!"

Again, Jack dropped to one knee.

"I will wait and see!"

Dean glanced at Jack and said this.

For Jack, who swears by his own name, Dean doesn't mind giving him a chance, not to mention, this is what he wants.

Therefore, Dean will not refuse.

As for swearing under false names?

Dean believed that, except for him, there was no one in Godez who was so special.

...

After Jack took in another group of men very calmly, Dean left the residence of "Wild Fox" Mitt - he was relieved of Jack, but it did not mean that he had confidence in Jack's strength.

It is related to the collection of 'Wild Fox' Mitt of Kimpton for four or five thousand.

If you don't confirm it again and again, it is impossible for Dean to leave with confidence.

Fortunately, Jack did a good job - when he carried the head of 'Wild Fox' Mitt, and took the wounded subordinates and supporters, and 'inspected' towards the neutrals, Jack's back Immediately, the previous pomp in the room was restored again.

And looking at such a 'grand event', Dean believed that Jack would give him what he expected after he returned from Vauban.

Following the shadow in the corner, Dean quietly returned to his room.

After taking off the coat, Dean heard a noise outside——

Baroness Till's low-pitched complaint.

His deputy, Huck's wry laugh.

Apparently, the welcome banquet of that Baron Jail was finally over.

Dean is grateful for that, after all. If it wasn't for the other party, he wouldn't be able to leave others' sight so easily.

Of course, this kind of gratitude is nothing more than that.

If you let Dean thank you in person. That is naturally impossible.

Step, step, step...

Steady footsteps came towards him—it was Dean's deputy, Huck.

Dean quickly took off his coat, and then took off his boots, just like this barefoot, and just before Huck knocked on the door, he gently opened the door——

"Keep your voice down, don't disturb our young man!"

When Dean said this, Huck nodded and walked in like this.

"I'm glad you didn't take a break, Commander!"

Huck said with a wry smile.

"Even if I rested. The sound of your return before was enough to wake me up... Tell me, what happened?"

Dean asked.

He couldn't believe that his deputy head would knock on his door for no reason in the middle of the night, especially after he had just attended a baron's banquet.

Something must have happened that the other party couldn't deal with.

"At the welcome banquet of Baron Jail earlier. We met Baron Defendi's nephew!"

Huck said with a slightly sad face.

The enmity between Baron de Fendi and Baron Tire is well known throughout Vauban County, and the nephew of the other party suddenly appeared in Zhanerling, and it happened to be when the lady of Baron Tire's family appeared.

Such a coincidence, even ordinary people feel something is wrong.

"Don't tell me that the nephew of Baron de Fendi also went to Vauban to participate in the private auction of the Marquis of Vauban?"

Dean frowned and asked for the worst guesses.

"That's right, that's it - the nephew of the Baron de Fendi will stop by to visit Baron Jenner. He will go to the city of Vauban to participate in the private auction of the Marquis of Vauban!"

A wry smile remained on Huck's face at the moment.

"And, did you invite our Miss Lily to go with you?"

Dean asked again.

"yes!"

Huck nodded again with a wry smile.

Dean didn't ask about the result afterwards—in fact, he didn't want to ask about such a result at all.

The young lady of Baron Till's family, faced with such an invitation, it is impossible to refuse.

because. This represents one's own honor.

If it is rejected, then soon there will be messages from Baron Tire's "cowardice" and "fear of Baron Defendi" in Vauban County.

But once you agree...

"The other party came prepared!"

Dean said in a low voice.

"Of course, that Chuld Defendi is as bad as Baron Defendi!"

Huck nodded very positively.

And just when Dean was about to ask in more detail——

Boom, boom!

After a slight sound of footsteps, there was a knock on the door.

The baron's lady stood outside the door. Looking at Huck who opened the door, and Dean who was sitting there, he said softly, "I hope I didn't interrupt the conversation between the two of you!"

"Of course not, we just need Miss Lily's advice!"

Huck shook his head and invited Miss Till to join him.

After all, Miss Baron Tire's family is also a member of the convoy, not to mention that the nephew of Defendi who has malicious intentions should be the first target of Baron Tire's family.

"Are you resting well?"

The lady of the Baron Till's family who entered the room looked at Dean, who was only wearing underwear and barefoot, and asked indifferently.

Although it seems to be a simple question, but a strange, resentful atmosphere is blowing towards his face. Of course, there is still a trace of resentment.
