In countries where royal power is supreme, nobles always have some incredible privileges.

For example, in the middle of the main road of Laiyan City, there is a jade road surrounded by small stone piers. There are few vehicles on it and it looks very empty. However, no matter how crowded the surrounding lanes are, no vehicles will walk on this empty road. This is the noble lane.

The so-called aristocratic lane, as the name suggests, is a road that only aristocratic carriage can take. This is a road built by aristocrats to show their special status and prevent the luxurious carriage from being scratched.

If a civilian vehicle comes up and is caught, he will face a fine, detention and detention.

At this time, a carriage marked with the Golden Lion Head was slowly driving on the noble lane. Most people in Laiyan City knew this sign because it was the clan emblem of the family of the lord Robert.

Bevin, who left the venue early from Vinson's party, was sitting inside. He was holding a cup of strong tea rolling with steam. After the heat, his face was slightly red. Although he had not been at the party for long, he was really toasted a lot of wine.

Although he was a little dizzy, Bevin was in a good mood at the moment. He was very satisfied with the gains from today's party.

Of course he could not have passed by the manor, and the nobles present would not think so. They would only think in their hearts that the Robert family and the Delk family were already close enough.

And this is exactly the effect Bevin wants to get. He is optimistic about the strength and potential of the Delk family, especially with another magician.

In Bevin's eyes, Vincent was just a playboy, but now this playboy has good luck, and he is very likely to marry a magician. In this way, this playboy will have value. So today he released goodwill to the Delk family from Vincent as a breakthrough.

The Delk family naturally would not reject the olive branch sent by the city lord's second son, which is a win-win situation.

"It's a step further from success..." Bevin took a sip of tea and thought comfortably.

There is no secret among the nobles. Those noble young men who eat, drink and have fun know the news of the expansion of the dock. How could Bevin not know?

In fact, he is one of the first people in Laiyan City to know the news.

He clearly remembered that afternoon, his father, Old Earl Robert, called him to the study, handed him the official document on the expansion of the dock, and patted him on the shoulder and said,

"You have done a good job over the years and have achieved a lot of achievements. You are much better than your waste brother... But if you want to be a city lord, this amount of capital is not enough. I am about to step down, and I only have the right to suggest the candidates for the next city lord. The decisive key is the votes of all the nobles in Laiyan City."

"You don't have enough capital, but now it's an opportunity to expand the dock. I told my elders in the family that if you can achieve success in this, you will win benefits and glory for the Robert family. The family will fully support you as the city lord..."

Bevin is 30 years old this year and is a time when he has a strong desire to seize power. Of course, he does not want to miss this opportunity. So since he learned the news, he has been secretly preparing.

The nominal ownership of the wharf is of course from Bran. Laiyan City also pays taxes to the Bran royal family according to the number of wharfs every year.

But as Joshia said, there are more than fifty tax projects in the kingdom, and there are nearly one hundred tax projects in Laiyan City. The difference in the interests is amazing. If you put it on the dock, the benefits will be even greater.

The Laiyancheng noble circle adopts the default method for the ownership of the wharf. As long as you show enough strength and are stronger than all competitors, you can own the wharf after being confirmed by the Laiyancheng Government Council.

The Robert family is one of the four major count families in Laiyan City. You can get the benefits you deserve without fighting. But this is not Bevin's goal. He must significantly defeat the other three count families and prove his ability to the clan.

But after all the years of struggle between the four major families, they have long known each other. It is not easy to defeat each other. But Beiwen is really smart. Since she can't find any help inside, she should look outside.

Bevin knew very well that if you want to get the support of other nobles, it would be useless to have reputation and friendship. You must tie them to your ship with actual interests.

Where does the benefits come from? That can only be the 24 newly built docks. Bevin's idea is to join other middle-strength nobles to seize most of the docks, so that they can not only be distributed to their followers, but also get more. Moreover, with the involvement of these benefits, these nobles will become the help of their family. Such achievements will definitely satisfy the family!

His busyness these days has begun to show results. He has already reached a few powerful nobles like the Delk family. Although there is a family influence, most of the credit is his erratic means.

"How great would it be if I were the eldest son of the family..." Bevin pressed his temple and frowned. This was also a question that he often thought of after he became sensible.

Yes, the damn noble title and eldest son inheritance system. It is because of this system that the old people in the clan have always been close to him...

As for the elder brother who painted strange portraits all day long? Although he has been very nice to him since he was a child, Bevin was still a little disdainful of this elder brother. In his opinion, he is a typical example of being unemployed and losing his ambitions.

Bevin took a deep breath and looked at the golden lion clan emblem on the carriage obsessedly and silently said, "I will prove to you that I am the most suitable heir to the Robert family!"

Dongdong...

Just as Bevin was wandering outside the world, the car door was gently knocked.

"Come in!"

"Young Master Beiwen!" A man who looked like a housekeeper walked in.

"Well, it's Gray, let's sit down." Bevin nodded. He was naturally familiar with the butler. This was the old man who had been with him since childhood and helped him take care of most of the matters.

"I just got the news that the leader of the Qinglang Gang was assassinated."

"The Green Wolf Gang? Oh, it's a gang supported by the Black family. Haha, it's a good kill! Do you know who killed it?"

The Black family is one of the four major Earl families in Laiyan City, which controls almost half of the commercial trade in Laiyan City. Earl Black himself is also the chief financial officer of Laiyan City.

Gray: "It's a ghost face!"

Beiwen raised his eyebrows: "Hey, it's this ghost face again. Didn't the president of the Iron Knife Association supported by the Auston family be killed by him?"

The Auston family is also the Earl family of Laiyan City. This family was originally a pirate. Later, when the first king of Brand Kingdom established a country, they made a lot of efforts and were finally named the Earl. Now, relying on the Renault River, they simply started smuggling, black market, and human trafficking. The Earl of Auston himself is the deputy city lord of Laiyan City.

"Yes."

"Haha, if I hadn't found this ghost face, I really wanted to have a drink with him as a thank you." Bevin smiled, holding up the teacup.

"Haha, who said no?"

Tat, Tat...

Just as the two were talking excitedly about ghost faces, a rapid sound of horse hooves rolled over, and the screams suddenly became endless.

Bevin frowned.

Butler Grey slightly lifted the curtain and said, "It's the cavalry team of the Guard Office."

Bevin: "Cavalette? I'm so anxious to go...what happened?"

"Please wait, Master"

After saying that, Gray got out of the car and sent someone to ask a cavalry for a question. After a moment, Gray walked into the car with a strange expression.

"Ghost Face is killing again."

"Oh, which one of the unlucky guys is this time? It's not from the Matthews family, haha..."

The Matthews family is one of the four major Earl families in Laiyan City. This family runs blacksmith shops and weapons shops, warriors' swords, magicians' wands and other combat equipment. The Earl Matthews himself is the sheriff of Laiyan City, responsible for the security affairs in the city.

"It's Vincent."

"Vinson...Which Vinson?" Bevin was a little dazed. For a moment, he felt that his hearing might be a little problem.

"The Delk family..."

Bang!

The exquisite tea cup in Bevin's hand instantly turned into broken tiles.
