The Witcher’s Nightmare Wagon

"You know me?" It was Sigmund who was puzzled.

When he left the Duke's mansion tonight, he had just received the badge from Charlotte, and he had thought that it would take some time for the news of the appointment to reach the ears of all the demon hunters.

So when he took out the badge, he didn't express much confidence at first, but judging from the reaction of the demon hunter in front of him, it was obvious that before he came back, Duke Dressel announced his new identity through internal channels.

Thinking about it carefully, he hadn't left the sea of ​​chaos at that time, and the Duke didn't know the result of this mission. From this perspective, Duke Dressel did have a lot of trust in him.

The rewards are also generous.

"I know, of course I know!" The demon hunter who came to carry out the mission looked excited, "Before you, there were only four chief executives in the Investigation Bureau. This has not changed since its inception, but your position It was proposed by His Excellency the Duke himself."

"Although there are some discussions, everyone is more curious." The man who spoke was frank. It can be seen that they respect Duke Dressel from the bottom of their hearts, so even if some of the Duke's orders are unreasonable, they can still Well accepted and executed by them.

"So that's the case." Sigmund nodded, "You don't have to worry about the things here, leave this matter to me."

"Of order, Your Excellency the Chief Executive!" The demon hunter bowed slightly and gave a hunter salute. At this time, Thomas, who was standing not far away, listened to all this, and his face had become very ugly.

Chief executive, of course he is aware of the weight of this identity. The investigation bureau led by Duke Dressel is one of the highest power organs in the kingdom.

Each of the four chief executives is famous, whether it is dealing with internal conflicts or external infiltration, they have made great contributions to the peace and stability of Elam.

But what surprised him even more was not these, because although these chief executives had great power, most of them dealt with extraordinary events, and they didn't have many opportunities to contact the Scaled family.

With their family's influence, they only need equal respect for these CEOs, but they don't need to be afraid of them.

But this Henrik in front of him is very different. More than a month ago, this name suddenly appeared in the communication of the nobles, although it aroused a lot of speculation and attention at that time.

But after that, the Duke didn't respond at all. After a long time, the popularity of the topic gradually decreased. Many people even thought that those speculations were just rumors.

After all, similar topics always appear every once in a while.

But now, Thomas knew that it wasn't that Duke Dressel didn't express it, but that no one thought that he would attach so much importance to this Henryk. Once he made a move, he directly added a CEO position to him.

This kind of treatment is nothing more than a real son, right?

Are the rumors true?

This Henryk is really the illegitimate son of Duke Dressel?

At this moment, Thomas realized that he was indeed a little reckless in handling this matter.

"Okay, let's go." Sigmund said, the demon hunters present were unwilling to stay here, and the police didn't make fun of themselves.

Thomas froze in place, not knowing what to say for a while, he knew that the best solution at this time was to take out the manor title deed he bought from Viscount Snow.

In order to ease the conflict just now and try to repair the relationship between each other, Thomas has always been proud and has never suffered any setbacks in the process of growing up and working. At this time, he suddenly humbled himself to a peer.

In his heart, he still couldn't accept it.

"Mr. Thomas." Sigmund said suddenly, "About that manor, do you have any thoughts about selling it now?"

"What?!" Thomas was taken aback for a moment, but then his face suddenly changed, and he raised his head suddenly, showing a sense of humiliation of being ridiculed.

"What do you mean, Mr. Henrik?" Thomas said sharply, "Do you think I should agree to you if I know your identity?"

"That manor belongs to me. The laws of the kingdom protect my rights. Now I can do whatever I want. No one can enter my manor without my permission. Next month, no! Tomorrow, tomorrow I will send someone to That estate is bulldozed."

A smile appeared on his face, "I won't sell that manor, no matter how much money it costs!" After finishing the last sentence, Thomas felt that all the humiliation he had suffered tonight had been vented out.

He nodded triumphantly, "It's already very late, I have something to do, so I'll leave first. Regarding the compensation I just promised to Miss Rebecca, I will send someone to deliver it early tomorrow morning."

Straightening the hat on his head, he raised his eyebrows, "Then, Mr. Henrik and the two ladies, goodbye." After speaking, he turned around and planned to leave here.

"Wait a minute." Sigmund said suddenly, he shook his head and couldn't help but sigh.

Those nobles are used to living a high life, so sometimes they will regard the steps handed over by others as a kind of humiliation.

If the sea is a primitive wild world, then Abetus is a modern civilized society, and different places have to follow different rules.

Originally here, Sigmund also hoped that he could behave more civilized, at least not to fight and kill like he was at sea.

Just now he saw the hesitation on Thomas's face, so he took the initiative to pass a step, but his kindness fell into Thomas' eyes and it turned out to be a humiliation.

Then there's no way.

I want to be a civilized person, but conditions do not allow it.

"Is there anything else, Mr. Henrik?" Thomas said without looking back.

"You poured a cup of coffee on Rebecca's table just now, I will give you a chance now." Sigmund said slowly, "Lick the coffee on the table, then think calmly, and answer my question seriously. The question just mentioned."

"What did you say?!" Thomas was furious and turned around suddenly, "What if I say no! What do you want to do, kill me here?!"

"How?!" Sigmund seemed taken aback by Thomas' expression, "This is just an opinion from a kind and civilized person."

He spread his hands, "As for the choice, it's entirely up to you."

"I refuse, I refuse! Damn it..." Swallowing the swear words that came to his mouth, Thomas rushed out angrily.

Watching Thomas leave, there was no anger in Sigmund's eyes, he just shook his head, "Poor guy, you don't know what you refused."

"What should we do now?" Ashley asked, "This Thomas has a very complicated background, his family has a strong influence in the Kingdom of Elam, his father is the second chancellor of the treasurer, and his uncle is an admiral Garcia."

"Don't worry." Sigmund glanced at Rebecca, "Go back to Elm Street first, prepare a bottle of good wine and a sumptuous dinner, as for me..."

Sigmund walked to the window and looked at the carriage of the Scarlet family, "I'll go to this Mr. Thomas and have a good talk."

"In the manner of a civilized man."
