Lawrence turned around and looked around the study, then looked out the window at the fertile land that was quiet and peaceful under the moonlight, and demanded directly:

"First of all, you blatantly kidnapped our friends, more than a dozen of my subordinates were injured in the battle just now, and you even threatened the three of us with force. For these, you must make some compensation, right? I think.

..This manor of yours is quite nice.”

Upon hearing this request, Earl Isaac's eyes almost darkened. This Yuehu Manor was an ancestral fiefdom inherited by his Isaac family for hundreds of years, and could even be said to be the family's heritage.

Putting aside the significance of the land itself, the value of the crops produced every year by the dozens of acres of fertile soil around here is not a small amount, enough for Earl Isaac to maintain his extravagant and extravagant life.

The value can be said to be immeasurable.

Previously, several major chambers of commerce in Paris jointly offered millions of livres to acquire this land, but were directly rejected by Count Isaac with disdain.

However, when he saw the unkind faces of the three young people in front of him, and when he thought about how he had just dared to point a pistol at them, Count Isaac did not dare to hesitate any more. He endured the pain in his heart and forced himself to

He smiled and nodded:

"Absolutely... no problem at all, Your Excellency, you can take away the title deed tonight."

"Second..." Lawrence then demanded:

"Resign as chief executive of the town of Torcy and get out of Paris within a month."

"This...is, Your Excellency." Earl Isaac's heart tightened, but he gritted his teeth and accepted the condition. At this time, power and money were nothing more than extraneous things to him.

As long as he can seek forgiveness from the three adults and leave Paris unharmed, he can still regain some of his former status with his own background and connections.

The reason why Lawrence specifically asked Count Isaac to resign was to show his kindness to the white-shirted soldiers of the Invalides as Charles Bornaparte.

As long as Lawrence forces Count Isaac to resign here, and uses His Excellency Bonaparte's identity and influence to stop the Ministry of Finance's spending cuts on Les Invalides, then the white shirts will be able to successfully keep the land they depend on for survival.

.

At the same time, this will also allow Lawrence's two identities to establish a good prestige within the White Shirt Army. After all, this time is a matter of life and death for these retired officers.

This is just a simple task for Lawrence, but it can effectively win over the White Shirts, a very influential group of officers. Lawrence is naturally happy to do such a good thing.

Moreover, the chief executive of the town of Torcy is a position of small power in Île-de-France. Although Lawrence himself has no suitable candidate to take over, he can still exchange interests with other factions as a favor.

"So finally, you should have a reasonable explanation for everything that happened tonight, right?" Lawrence asked Count Isaac.

Earl Isaac seemed to be well-versed in human nature. He immediately understood what Lawrence meant and blurted out:

"Don't worry, I will publish a statement in the newspaper tomorrow that all the fault lies with Ghor. It was my son who illegally imprisoned a military academy cadet. Then I released the cadet under your persuasion, and compensated and reached a settlement.

, there was no conflict tonight; and for the crime of kidnapping my son, I am willing to take the blame and resign, and lead the whole family to leave Paris..."

Although he doted on his son, in the face of the life and death of the entire family, Earl Isaac had no choice but to endure his grief and chose to abandon his car to protect his commander, allowing Gullai to bear all the responsibilities legitimately.

Lawrence nodded with a smile. It seemed that Count Isaac was also very wise. After this statement was issued, maybe the outside world would still praise his just act of annihilating his relatives.

For Lawrence, although this set of statements will definitely make many people feel strange, since Count Isaac himself did not pursue the crime of the students forcibly breaking into the manor, the palace and the government would have a much easier time handling this incident.

Already.

Even if the matter finally reaches His Majesty the King, as long as Count Isaac himself gives up the pursuit of responsibility, Louis XV can easily calm down all the troubles.

"I appreciate your cooperation, Lord Earl."

Lawrence reached out and pulled Earl Isaac up, and finally reminded:

"Follow your promise well. Also, as a reminder, regarding the identities of the three of us, you'd better die in your stomach."

"I must, I must..."

Count Isaac nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice. He knew how to keep secrets without Lawrence reminding him.

Although he didn't know why these three adults disguised themselves as military academy cadets, Count Isaac didn't have the courage to think about it. He knew very well that knowing too much was not a good thing in many cases.

...

Almost after the three Lawrences completed their negotiations with Earl Isaac, the students in the main building successfully discovered Berthier, who was struggling, and Gour, who was looking astonished in a hidden basement.

When Lawrence rushed to the basement, the bloodless Gur had been tied up and pinned to the ground by the student soldiers. He was so shocked that he couldn't say a word for a long time.

He didn't understand why these students appeared in his basement at this time. What happened in the manor?!

Although Berthier looked haggard, his injuries were not serious. It seemed that Lawrence and his team arrived in time. Gur was controlled by the students before he could use the torture instruments.

And his look of shock was no less than that of Gur.

Berthier was even mentally prepared and planned to grit his teeth in this dungeon-like cage until he was released.

Even if Charles and other gang members were indifferent to his disappearance, Berthier felt that it was understandable. After all, they were facing the infamous Count Isaac. Such a powerful Count was not a fresh military cadet at all.

We can contend.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Therefore, Berthier completely did not expect that Charles Bornaba would actually lead the gang members to the moon for his own sake, taking huge risks.

Come to Lake Manor.

"Char...you..." Berthier's voice was very weak, and he looked at Lawrence who hurried to the basement with a complicated expression:

"You are so unwise..."

Although he said reproachful words, Berthier's tone was full of emotion. He looked at Lawrence and a group of serious and determined students, and felt in a daze for a moment. He had no idea that they would do such a dangerous thing for him.

act.

Lawrence stepped forward and carefully inspected the injuries on Berthier's body. Fortunately, they were all skin wounds caused by fists and feet, so he breathed a sigh of relief, stared into Berthier's eyes and said seriously:

"You're part of a gang."

Berthier was stunned and turned to look around at the students present. Almost all of their uniforms were stained with blood, and the blood spots that had not yet completely solidified seemed to still tell the story of the danger of the battle just now.

Although they had to take desperate risks and fight bloody battles, these vigorous students still followed Lawrence's footsteps to this manor without hesitation.

And the reason why they are willing to do this is, as Lawrence just said, just one sentence - you are a member of the gang.

A few drops of hot tears welled up from Berthier's eyes, and he nodded with a wry smile:

"Thank you, Charles."

At this moment, not only Berthier, but also other students' sense of belonging to the gang reached an unprecedented peak.

They firmly believe in one fact - the Shire Gang will never give up on any of their brothers.

Afterwards, everyone worked together to bring the weak Berthier and the tied-up Gul out of the basement.

When Count Isaac came over and saw his son being pushed to the ground with a lifeless face, even though he was extremely distressed, he had to hold back his grief and stepped forward and kicked Gol mercilessly.

On his forehead, he cursed angrily:

"You bastard, who gave you the courage to kidnap that Mr. Berthier! Do you know this is a crime?"

This sudden kick completely stunned Gur, who was just about to complain. He endured the severe pain in his forehead and looked at his father blankly:

"You...what are you talking about, father, it was not you who brought Berthier..."

"You dare to quibble with me!" Earl Isaac kicked him again, acting like an old father who hates iron.

Lawrence naturally knew that Count Isaac's play was for him and the students, but Lawrence was not interested in such exaggerated performances, so he directly patted Count Isaac and said:

"I hope you will discipline Mr. Gur well. Sir Earl, please come and untie Mr. Gur's rope."

The two students stepped forward and were about to untie Gur, but Count Isaac quickly pushed them away, looked at Lawrence eagerly and said:

"No, no, no, just let him be tied up. Anyway, I will personally escort this traitor to the court tomorrow to plead guilty. He actually committed such an appalling act of kidnapping and torture behind my back. Even my heir is really hateful!

"

Seeing Earl Isaac's jealous look, all the students present looked strange and unbelievable. They felt that this was not the same person as the Earl who just laughed arrogantly at the main entrance of the manor.

Berthier was even more surprised and didn't open his mouth for a long time. He hadn't seen him for an hour, but he didn't know why Count Isaac suddenly became amiable and selfless.

However, one thing the students knew very well was that Count Isaac's 180-degree change in attitude must be closely related to their leader Charles Bornaparte.

After Earl Isaac shamelessly performed the drama of annihilating a family member for righteousness, he took Gur and disappeared directly into the main building of the manor, not daring to stay with the group of military cadets for a moment longer.

And tonight will also be the last night that Goul, a playboy, spends in his own manor. Early tomorrow morning, without anyone urging him, Count Isaac will personally send Goul, the scapegoat, to prison.

...

Two days later, in the early morning of March 26, the Invalides in Paris

In a tea room, several old officers finished their breakfast as usual and chatted while drinking hot tea.

It's just that today, they are no longer as leisurely and comfortable as usual. Everyone is frowning and crying constantly.

In recent days, there is only one thing that has made these retired officers frown all day long - the damn Count Isaac is almost about to take away a large piece of land in Les Invalides.

Only a few red tape procedures are needed to confirm, and these heroes who have shed blood for the country will be ready to walk into the pawn shop with the medals at the bottom of the box, or directly live on the streets.

If nothing else goes wrong, today, the nightmare day for the white-shirted soldiers will come.

"well..."

Even a tough guy like Lieutenant Colonel Shadis couldn't help but sigh in the face of this kind of thing.

In order to try his best to change this tragic ending, Lieutenant Colonel Shadis specially asked for a period of leave from the Paris Military Academy, and stayed in the Invalides wholeheartedly to negotiate with the administrative bureaucrats of the town of Torcy.

He even dragged his body around the streets of Paris day and night, trying to organize citizens and other retired soldiers to stage protests.

But all the efforts had little effect, and now it seems that it was all in vain.
