From Baron's Second Son to Dragon Rider

After the negotiation ended, Luke returned to his room dejectedly. When he opened the door, he was surprised to find his father, Viscount Lucas, sitting on a chair in the room, waiting for him to come back.

"Is the matter done?" Viscount Lucas asked looking at Luke's face.

No need to ask more, just from the expression on Luke's face, it can be seen that Luke did not take much advantage in this negotiation, otherwise he would not be so frustrated.

"It's done..." Luke replied weakly, and took out the loan agreement he had just signed and handed it to his father.

Lucas took the agreement and looked at it carefully, but soon discovered a problem: "Why is the seal of the Golden Rose family stamped here? Where is Krober's own seal?"

Luke tried to remember, and then he remembered the reason the messenger said at that time:

"Oh, they said that Krober just changed his surname and the new family crest has not been designed yet, so he will replace it with the original one for the time being.

I think the signature is Klober’s name anyway, so it shouldn’t matter. "

Lucas frowned, feeling uneasy.

He knew that Krober's sending of people this time was definitely not in good faith, and he also knew that the possibility of returning the money was very small.

But this doesn't mean that he just lends out the money without even keeping a normal loan agreement.

However, facing his son's explanation, he could not find a better solution for the moment.

After a moment of silence, Lucas decided that it would be more appropriate to go find the messenger in person and ask for details.

After all, family interests and reputation are involved, and there is no room for sloppiness.

So, he stood up and said to Luke: "You should take a rest first, and I will go to the envoy sent by Krober to confirm this matter.

If it's true as you said, it's just a matter of borrowing old chapters for temporary emergencies, but if there's something hidden in it, we must deal with it in a timely manner. "

After saying these words, Lucas hurriedly left the room and went to Krober to find out.

Luke stayed there and was lost in thought...

The envoy seemed to be packing up and preparing to leave after the negotiation, right? Will my father be able to catch up in time?

"It should be possible. After all, two hundred thousand gold coins is not a small amount, and it must take some time for them to carry it on the ship." Luke said to himself.

Viscount Lucas quickly left his son's room and sped straight towards the port.

If the facts were as he expected, then the messenger might have loaded gold coins at the port at this moment.

The terrain of Red Crab Island is open and flat, which allows Viscount Lucas to immediately start searching for ships on Black Feather Island after leaving the castle.

However, he looked around but could not find any trace of his target.

"Damn it, where's the boat!"

Lucas cursed under his breath, a thin layer of sweat forming on his forehead.

He looked around anxiously, his eyes quickly scanning the calm sea and busy docks, but he never saw the Black Feather Island ship.

He knew time was running out and action had to be taken as soon as possible.

So, without hesitation, he summoned his soldiers and issued a search order:

"Spread out immediately and look for the ships on Black Feather Island! Don't let go of any clues!"

However, despite his anxiety, Lucas forced himself to calm down. Blocking the port was not a wise move.

Red Crab Island is home to many powerful and powerful people, and the influence of these great nobles is far-reaching and extensive.

As a little viscount, he really couldn't compete with them, and he didn't dare to easily provoke this group of untouchable people.

In desperation, he had no choice but to lead his soldiers to shuttle through the port and investigate every suspicious ship one by one.

As time passes, hope becomes increasingly slim. Lucas's mood became heavier and he frowned.

After searching hard, I still found nothing.

Viscount Lucas felt powerless in his heart, and he couldn't help but begin to doubt his own judgment.

Unwilling to give up, Lucas made a prompt decision and decided to lead everyone back to the castle.

He must go to the treasury in person to confirm whether the crucial two hundred thousand gold coins are still safe.

It's not that he feels sorry for the two hundred thousand, he just doesn't want to admit that the Crab Claw family was fooled by Krober's envoys. If this spread, the Crab Claw family will be completely embarrassed.

He quickly came to the vault, and after asking the soldiers guarding inside, Lucas' heart finally died.

"well……"

Lucas sighed.

He knew that Krober sent people here to defraud him of money, but he didn't fight back.

This loan agreement is the most powerful counterattack.

This is an agreement protected by the laws of the Emerald Kingdom and the laws of the Golden Duchy.

But no matter what, it was covered with the emblem of the Golden Rose family.

If Krober doesn't pay back the money in the future, he can't take this agreement and go to the Golden Rose Family's Corolla City to ask for money.

Someone said,

"There is no one named Krober in the Golden Rose family."

It will clean up the relationship.

Go to Black Feather Island,

"What does the money Krober Golden Rose borrowed from you have to do with me, Krober Amethyst Rose? Are you so insulting because you want to declare war?"

For two hundred thousand gold coins, Lucas really wouldn't declare war with Krober.

It really pissed him off!

Think of him, the great Lucas Crab Claw, who has ruled Red Crab Island for so many years. What storms and waves has he not seen?

Now he is being fooled around by a young boy who is still wet behind the ears. How can he swallow this breath?

And this trick is really insidious!

You know, in the past, many people changed their surnames and family emblems in order to be promoted to the title, and then came to borrow money from them.

But those families would repay on time without exception. After a long time, everyone got used to it and no longer doubted the use of old seals.

But who would have thought that this hateful guy would take advantage of this to cheat money?

This is simply a double insult to his wisdom and authority!

Viscount Lucas forced himself to calm down.

He admitted that he did underestimate Krober and his forces at the beginning, and ended up suffering such a big loss.

But what about it?

The overall strength of the Crab Claw family is far stronger than Krober's Amethyst Rose family.

He lost the first battle, but the second one might not be the same.

What Lucas didn't know was that the 200,000 gold coins he was thinking about and the people of Black Feather Island were hiding in the Golden Rose Chamber of Commerce's residence waiting for the storm to pass.

"Mr. Du Wen, I am so grateful to you! Without your help, I really don't know how to avoid the pursuit of Crab Claw Island."

The envoy of Black Feather Island said to Du Wen, the head of the Golden Rose Chamber of Commerce, with gratitude.

If Du Wen hadn't extended a helping hand in time, I'm afraid they would have fallen into Lucas's clutches and been forced to re-sign a new loan agreement.

If that happened, I'm afraid that the task assigned by Lord Foster would end in failure, which he didn't want to see.

"No, no, Mr. Yuri, don't say that. As the envoy of Master Krober, you are naturally also a close friend of our Golden Rose family. It's my job to help you solve your problems."

Du Wen responded modestly.

Although Krober had not been in the Golden Rose Family for a long time, his outstanding talent and his important position in the heart of Marquis Daniel were well known.

More importantly, up to now, Marquis Daniel had not yet selected a suitable successor.

If Krober had not already founded the family and was promoted to Viscount, I am afraid that in the minds of many people, Krober would be the most ideal successor to the Golden Rose Family.

The two of them simply flattered a few words and then decided to go to the port and take a merchant ship to leave after dark.
