What made Horace breathe a sigh of relief was that Tu Antivan did not react at all, or in other words, he did not show any signs of terminating the conversation.

The old man was just sitting in a wheelchair with his eyes half closed, as if he was taking a nap.

Speaking of this, Horace adjusted his clothes uneasily, coughed a few times, and then said:

"As you know, regarding Bars, the rumors circulating in the outside world have a great impact on us. Although we have clarified a lot, but...

The family's reputation was still tarnished. "

As he spoke, he tried to keep a smile and told lies without changing his face.

As early as the day of the incident, the Sogetos family had secretly contacted all the nobles and chambers of commerce present at the time, and divided a lot of interests.

Of course, this step is purely about taking off your pants and farting, and it is completely a face-saving act, but it is a pity that in the Kingdom of Algrant, such hypocritical behavior is really needed.

At least, you have to use real, shiny gold coins to prove your sincerity.

"His Majesty's will has arrived with the Griffin Cavalry not long ago. It is indeed our negligence to still allow the cultists to invade Leiden City at such a critical moment."

Horace continued talking to himself, sincerity shining in his eyes.

"Regarding this matter, it is indeed our Sogetos family's dereliction of duty and our failure to live up to His Majesty's expectations of us. The punishment given by our family master to His Majesty..."

Tu Antivan raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at Horace calmly.

Just one glance.

The cloudy eyes are like ancient wells that have been built over the years, making it impossible to see clearly what is happening under the water.

No words, just looks.

But Horace, who was highly nervous, immediately captured the meaning that Tu Antivan wanted to convey - "Stop talking."

So he could only keep silent, pretending to play with the exquisite white porcelain carved bowl in his hand, lowering his eyes, not even daring to look at Tu Antiwan again.

Facing an epic figure who had experienced three dynasties of emperors, he really didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction.

He just couldn't understand why Tuantiwan would come to Badibila to visit the Sogetos family at this time.

You know, Tuantivan began to apply to Yagrant III to repair the Mage Tower as early as two years ago. So far, he has submitted the application at least three times.

His Majesty's attitude has always been subtle but firm.

The application was sent in vain and no reply was received, but His Majesty did not refuse.

As a veteran, Tu Antiwan seemed not to be aware of His Majesty's cryptic attitude at all. He seemed to be rejuvenated and chased after submitting applications like a dazed young man, insisting that His Majesty give a clear answer.

In fact, many noble families are also suspicious of this matter.

I can't figure out what His Majesty is thinking, nor what Tu Antivan is thinking.

Just like now, even though Tu Antiwan was sitting opposite Horace, only a few steps away from him, and he could see it as soon as he raised his eyes, Horace really didn't dare to look up.

After all, facts are facts and rumors are rumors.

As long as there is a little care to investigate, the incident that broke out in the city lord's mansion will never deceive anyone.

In fact, Horace privately guessed that if it weren't for the fact that the Sogetos family was located in Leiden City and was responsible for the future "Great Expedition" plan, I am afraid that His Majesty's attitude would not be as simple as just harsh criticism.

The gold medal investigator of Hanging Sword reported everything truthfully...

"So, what are you going to do?"

Just when Horace was feeling uneasy, Tuantivan finally asked slowly.

"No, no, no, it's not what we want to do, but me. This is just a private request, just my personal wish."

Horace stiffened his face, smirked, and emphasized the sentence deliberately.

"I will always be loyal to my family, but I can't stand those people who spread rumors, slander the family, and affect the reputation.

You should know that in the Kingdom of Algrant, honor is above all else. "

After a hasty explanation, Horace paused and continued: "Sometimes, issues can be compromised, but more often than not, we have to be a little more radical and wash away the stains with blood..."

"Who is there?"

"You may also know a few of them, Satyr and Siosande, Julian's apprentices in the Tower of Stars,

One of the heirs of the Iris family, Alice,

I also heard that he is Garcia, a wanted criminal from Northland.

And the last one, a certain down-and-out nobleman, Aaron, who is also Alice's husband. "

Horace composed himself and spoke slowly.

Long before this conversation, he had already memorized relevant materials in advance.

Sometimes, he was really proud of his foresight.

Facing Tu Antiwan was more stressful than he imagined. If he hadn't prepared in advance, he might have...

Silence is still silence.

Tu Antivan made no response.

After waiting quietly for a few breaths, Horace finally couldn't help but said tentatively: "Master Tu Antivan, you know that I am extremely loyal to the family and do not want to let the glory of the family be lost to others. Defiled...

If you can come forward to help our family wash away the stain... Even if the head of the family disagrees, even if His Majesty's attitude is that, I am willing to offer my personal property in return for your help. "

Horace deliberately emphasized the word "personal" and couldn't help but have a flattering smile on his face.

Of course, he knew, and I believed Tu Antivan knew, that this matter had never been a so-called personal wish.

Even if the family's glory is above all else, Horace is still not willing to spend a lot of money to ask Antivan to take action.

What's more, being able to ask Tu Antiwan once means a sky-high price and high expenses.

He personally doesn't have that much financial resources at all.

"Julian is very defensive, and so are the Iris family."

Tu Antiwan said calmly.

"It's okay, we just need to wash away the rumors with blood, and let the world witness our reputation and...master your power."

Seeing Tu Antiwan's attitude relaxed, Horace couldn't help but smile. He responded repeatedly and hurriedly added. Finally, he carefully added a sentence at the end and patted Tu Antiwan briefly. The master's flattery.

"Have someone give me the information and I will take a good look at it."

Tu Antivan said, slowly turning the wheelchair, waving away Horace who tried to come up to show his courtesy, and left alone.

Horace waited quietly for a long time until he watched Tu Antiwan's figure disappear into the door frame, and finally let out a long sigh of relief.

My nerves have been highly tense just now, but I haven't felt it yet.

But now that I relaxed, I felt that my back was wet, almost wet with cold sweat.

He picked up the white porcelain bowl and drank all the herbal tea in the bowl regardless of etiquette, but then glanced at the tea originally placed in front of Tu Antiwan.

The white porcelain bowl sat there intact.

Picture Antian, from the beginning to the end, there is no water left.
