They all call me master

Chapter 367 Father and son!

Late at night, a carriage sped out of South Los.

The coachman shouted and the wheels rolled.

Inside the carriage, the atmosphere was solemn and gloomy.

Just now, Lissop had told his son that he had allowed him to return safely in exchange for 20% of the profits from the Nanzhen Iron Mine and Coal Mine.

Lissop could tell that his son felt increasingly guilty after hearing the news.

but,

This is not what he wants.

He didn't want to see this guilt.

Therefore, the Lord spoke again——

"It's not your fault, my son!

I was careless..."

"No, father!

This is all my fault!

It was my arrogance and carelessness that caused the family to suffer humiliation and loss! "

Little Lissop interrupted Lissop.

The son of a lord looked at his father, clenching his fists tightly, his nails digging into his flesh, and blood slowly flowing down his palms.

When the old butler on the side saw it, he immediately took out a handkerchief to bandage his young master.

The old housekeeper's eyes were filled with distress.

The words were filled with self-blame.

"Everything is my fault. If my investigation could be more detailed, this situation would not have happened!"

"You're not wrong either!

It's my fault!

It’s even more because of that guy, if it weren’t for him…”

Snapped!

Faced with the comfort from his housekeeper, Little Lissop forced out an ugly smile, and then he gritted his teeth, and there was deep hatred in his eyes. But the next moment, such hatred was replaced by shock. This The Lord's son covered his face and looked at his father in surprise.

He wondered why his father would beat him.

"Don't push your own mistakes over the enemy's strength - when you choose the other party to be your enemy, you should expect such strength!

If you can't even face this point...

I will not leave Nanzhen to you! "

Lissop said in a deep voice.

Little Lissop, who was stunned and puzzled, nodded immediately after hearing his father's words.

He thought his father was right.

He shouldn't make excuses for himself.

The old housekeeper on the side also thought so.

However, what appeared in their eyes now was more surprise.

"Did His Highness agree?"

Little Lissop asked.

The old housekeeper also looked at his master expectantly.

The two of them knew exactly what Lissop was doing recently - seeking the help of the Grand Duke to turn the Lord's title into a hereditary one.

However, there has been a stalemate before.

Even though the Lisop family had paid enough benefits, the old lion was still vague.

And Lissop's words just now, "Leave South Town to you," seemed to prove that there had been a major breakthrough.

"Um!

When you became the follower of that 'spiritual medium' in full view of the public, His Highness contacted me - he was worried that I would completely fall in love with the Earl because of you.

So, agreed. "

Lissop nodded with a complicated expression.

The same goes for Little Lissop and the old butler.

A sense of 'fate' immediately caused another brief silence in the carriage.

Three or four seconds later, it was Little Lissop who broke the silence.

"What do we have to pay?"

After confirming that he could be the future master of South Town, Little Lissop, who had received aristocratic education since he was a child, quickly grasped the key points.

"50% of the revenue from iron ore and coal mines!"

Lithorpe replied.

Even though he knew that he would pay a huge price, he still felt distressed after hearing his father's words.

Together with the money given to the 'spiritual medium', the Lithorpe family now only has 20% of the income from the iron ore and coal mines in Nanzhen.

Although the 20% income is not small, it is an income that is enough to make any Nanlos nobles envy.

For ordinary people, it is an astronomical figure.

But it is clear that he can inherit more.

Not willing to give in!

anger!

Waves of emotions appeared in Little Lisop's heart.

Even with his father's previous education, little Lisop was still unable to control himself at this time.

Almost involuntarily, the lord's son began to think about how to get revenge on Arthur--of course, not in an aboveboard way.

It must be hidden and unknown.

‘Maybe I can play with the profits from the iron ore and coal mines?

Or simply have a mining accident?

Make them pay more? ’

Little Lithorpe thought.

Isn’t that what people are like?

Greed has long been imprinted in his bones.

In the past, there was reason as a restraint, suppressing the devil named 'greed' in the bottom of my heart, but once the restraint was released, only madness remained.

Of course Lissop knew what his son was thinking.

The lord immediately spoke—

"Don't use those dirty tricks!

Both His Highness and the 'spiritual medium' are extremely smart people.

Especially the 'spiritual medium', he has eyes that can see into people's hearts!

Therefore, from now on, Xiao Lisopuo should not do anything unnecessary, just cooperate.

And now?

We have trouble to deal with! "

Having said this, the lord sighed and looked at his old butler with a hint of apology in his eyes.

Little Lissop immediately understood what his father meant.

Someone must bear the responsibility for the 'mistakes' in this 'Swordsmanship Competition'.

Otherwise, it will seriously affect the 'honor' of the Lithorpe family, and it will also make people's hearts wander and affect future development.

Therefore, someone has to step up and take responsibility.

It can't be him, and it can't be his father.

That leaves only their old housekeeper.

The identity of the other party is just right.

Possessing a certain status and rights, they can be justified to the outside world.

Even if you can't go into details, it is enough as long as it makes sense.

What's more, his father had secretly reminded him before that this old housekeeper knew too many things.

Thinking of this, little Lissop looked at his father. When he found that his father lowered his head and said nothing, little Lissop understood everything.

Without hesitation, he raised his right hand and covered the mouth of the old butler beside him. He turned his left hand, shook out the dagger hidden in his sleeve, and stabbed directly into the heart of the old butler.

puff!

The old housekeeper's eyes widened at the sound of metal blades cutting flesh.

But there was no more surprise or disbelief in the old housekeeper's eyes.

All I have is helplessness and deep regret.

Such a look surprised Little Lisop.

What surprised the Lord's son even more was that even at the last moment of his life, the old butler's raised palms were not struggling.

Instead, he just placed it on the back of his hand.

There is little power.

More like...

caress.

Little Lissop was startled, and almost instinctively took out his palm, and his whole body leaned back against the car.

Lithop, who was sitting opposite, smiled.
