When Xia Ye and Karin came back from Moti City, Jiang Yue locked herself in the laboratory again.

Although she said that there was a research project that needed to be handled urgently, Aarons felt that she was not in a good mood.

After he told Xia Ye and Karin who came to report this matter, the Aries beauty mercilessly mocked the sage who had left.

"Let the old woman continue to play like this, you don't have to worry about her."

"... I always feel that it's not good."

"It's okay, the young master still knows too little about women."

Not only did Xia Ye have no feelings about this, even Karin made a joke in passing - so Aarons didn't dare to talk about this topic anymore.

I always feel that there is something behind their words... Is it an illusion?

"By the way, what did you investigate in Moti City this time?"

"It's the movements of ordinary people. This incident has actually affected the distribution of labor in the border territory. By understanding the flow of ordinary people, we can see which side the people support more."

"You can actually consider this... You are worthy of being the best civil servant."

Xia Ye's face did not change much after receiving the praise, but Aarons felt that her mood seemed to have improved a lot.

"Master, I also went to the city office to ask. There are many volunteers there now. Most of them came to you after seeing you easily kill the Duke's subordinates in the news."

Aarons thought it was just a group of people following the trend, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that he might have ignored the common sense of this world again.

Even if the level of civilization is close to that of his previous life, people in this world still retain the tendency to respect the strong. Since he has publicly demonstrated his power, he will naturally be sought after and respected by ordinary people.

——But these people will not have any loyalty. Once they lose their power, they will immediately turn to the other side.

"Don't worry about them for now. After the Chamber of Commerce is officially established, let them connect with the honorary nobles."

Although these people can play a limited role, Aarons does not want to miss any help now.

And using appropriate interests to tie them to the honorary nobles is indeed a good way to kill two birds with one stone.

When these people get used to the lifestyle they have given them, it will be difficult for them to break away from their power.

"Then about the Chamber of Commerce, we-"

However, before Xia Ye started to discuss the Chamber of Commerce with Aarons, the internal spiritual voice on the desk suddenly rang.

"I am Aarons... Someone wants to see me? Claiming to be a civilian but looking like a noble? How many people are there? One person... One person, let him in."

Although there are indeed some risks in doing so, Aarons does not think that anyone can get away with it after causing damage here-Karin and Xia Ye alone are not something that ordinary fighting warriors or magicians can deal with.

"Master, are there any guests?"

"I don't know. Who could it be that someone came to see me at this time?"

...

Soon, Aarons saw the visitor in the reception room.

The visitor was a tall, handsome and somewhat gentle man - and surprisingly, he didn't intend to hide his noble identity at all.

He was wearing a neat and straight blue-black suit, and his slightly curly gray hair was very elegant and capable, plus a pair of thin-framed glasses that highlighted his demeanor... This man, who looked about thirty years old, was like the real social elites Aarons had seen in his previous life.

"I have heard of your name for a long time, Marquis Aarons."

"...Commoner?"

Because Jiangyue was not around, Aarons didn't know whether this man was a noble.

But this man was definitely not a commoner - because he obviously had no respect for him, and even had a slightly higher aura than him.

"Although I don't know much about you, you should be a noble, right?"

"The Marquis has good eyesight. Haha, you are worthy of being the one who dares to be the enemy of the Booker family... I won't keep you in suspense, my name is Morlo Ophi - the current head of the Duke of Ophi's family."

...What the hell?

——After hearing the answer that was completely out of common sense, Aarons' brain immediately crashed.

What did he say just now? He said he was the head of the Duke's family... Isn't that the Duke himself!

I was warned by the Scott family before, and I fought two rounds with the Booker family... Then the third Duke himself came here in person!

And he came here alone! ?

"...You are, Duke Oufei?"

"That's right. But I just took over the position of head of the family from the previous duke three years ago, and I haven't left the territory in the past few years. It's normal that the marquis doesn't know me."

After hearing the other party's exact answer, Karin and Xia Ye beside Aarons immediately entered a state of war preparedness.

No one knows why a duke came here in person-but considering that the heir of Duke Booker's family can easily take out ancient scrolls, this genuine duke may also have some dangerous secret skills.

"Why did the duke come here alone?"

However, Aarons stretched out his hand to stop his two subordinates, and at the same time asked the man in front of him with a serious expression.

My value is not high enough to make a duke come here in person, so this young duke must have other intentions when he came here alone.

So what does the other party want to get from me?

"Hehe, the conflict between the marquis and the Duke Booker's family is already known to everyone even in my remote countryside. And I came to visit the Marquis specifically, of course, it is also related to this matter. "

Is it to persuade peace or to warn me?

Aarons could not guess the other party's intention at all... But the young duke adjusted his glasses elegantly with his fingers, and immediately answered Aarons' question.

"I want to discuss a business with the Marquis-it is about the business of the Duke of Booker's family."

"...Talk about business with me?"

"That's right. I hope the Marquis can take this opportunity to completely eliminate the Booker family, and the Duke of Ophir will provide you with support and mutually beneficial rewards to the best of its ability."

It turns out that the three dukes are not a solid block-Aarons' spirit suddenly shook, and then he quickly began to think about the pros and cons.

If this man is telling the truth... Then he might really be able to weaken the power of the great nobles in one go.

"Although we should be considered enemies now, it is not impossible to cooperate. So what do you think, Marquis Aarons?"
