Chapter 068 Like an Assassin
There is a conventional rule in the aristocratic circle - vested interests cannot be violated.
For example, before the construction of 24 new wharfs in Nangang in Laiyan City, there were 76 wharfs. These 76 docks have been allocated are vested interests. Once these interests are violated, they will be broken and fight to the death.
The aristocratic alliance that Bevin managed painstakingly grew, but even when he strongly defeated the Flame Dragon Club and caused the Matthews family to stop fighting for a new dock, he never thought about starting the docks with these allocated docks.
Bevin knew very well that although they fought and killed more now, they were all within a certain framework and rules. As Count Robert said, Laiyan City should not be in chaos.
But now that the Delk family violated this interest, he attacked the Thomas family and snatched the other party's Pier 55. Does Viscount Delk know this rule? Of course not, it's just that he was blinded by interests and resentment.
The Thomas family and the Delk family had a gap, and the two viscounts almost fought each other as soon as they met, but almost every time Viscount Thomas had a little advantage, because in the end, he would mock the Delk family as just a low-class noble without a dock.
Over time, Viscount Delk became deeply resentful. Don’t you have a dock? Are you not a cow? Then I will steal your...
Once the news of robbing the dock spread, it caused an uproar. Although it was powered by the noble alliance, it was really just a private vent of the Delk family.
But other nobles obviously did not think so. They only thought that the noble alliance was ready to attack all the docks, so how could this be tolerated? So in a short time, more than a dozen families quickly declared war on the noble alliance.
When Bevin temporarily diverted to the Delk family manor, almost all the nobles with pier declared war.
In the annex of the Delk family, all five viscounts were there. Viscount Delk sat in the seat with panic expression. He was really scared, and he did not expect such a fierce reaction.
Some of the other viscounts sat with a pale face, while others walked around in a panic in the vestige.
"Vissue Delk, you...ah!"
"well……"
These sighs hit Viscount Delk's heart like a heavy hammer.
At this time, Bevin, who had a calm expression, walked into the vestibule. Such a long time was enough to make him adjust his mood.
Viscount Delk stepped forward a few steps and bowed to the end: "Hisser Bevin, I, I...ah!"
Bevin's mouth twitched slightly, and he helped Viscount Delk up: "Sir Viscount don't blame yourself too much. Since the matter has happened, we should find a way to deal with it first."
"Everything is followed by His Excellency Bevin's orders." Viscount Delk immediately made a statement.
"Okay, first of all, you have to quickly contact the Thomas family and return Pier 55. Well, the Viscount's posture should be lowered."
"I want it, I'll go now."
"No hurry, this is far from solving our current danger. Next, you have to use a new dock to exchange for Viscount Thomas' statement, saying that you were just instigated by the Black family and accidentally injured the other party. This is actually just a misunderstanding."
"Ah..." Viscount Delk hesitated. According to the previous cooperation agreement, if the noble alliance succeeded, their viscount families could all be divided into two to three docks. Now, he can't help but feel distressed.
Bevin's eyes flashed and he said in a warm voice: "Sir Viscount, don't worry, this pier is from the Roberts family."
"Well, how can I be so embarrassed? I made the mistake, and I should make this dock." Viscount Delk said in a slow tone.
"Haha, sir, no need to be polite. Time is tight now, so you should set off quickly."
"Okay. Then I'll go now." Viscount Delk bowed and left quickly.
Bevin looked at Viscount Delk's back and narrowed his eyes slightly. He was really a teammate like a pig...
After calming down, Bevin bowed to the surroundings: "My Viscounts, the situation is urgent. Please continue to increase the crackdown according to our previous deployment."
"Okay, Mr. Bevin, don't worry, we will go to supervise the formation yourself now." Several viscounts bowed and left in a hurry.
Huh... After arranging all the matters, Bevin let out a long breath of turbid air, turned around and left Delk Manor, and got on the carriage.
"Master Bevin, the Golden Lion Gang has been keeping an eye on the Iron Blood Association's base with all his strength. It should be completely defeated in one hour." Gray said quickly.
"A hour..." Bevin's face was not happy, "Is this the fastest speed?"
"Yes... Master Bevin thinks the Black family has a backup plan?"
"Never overestimate the IQ of your companions, and never underestimate the ability of your opponent." Bevin suddenly sighed, then shook his head and said, "Although we have responded quickly, there are still many loopholes to exploit. If I were Count Black, this opportunity...ah!"
"It's all this stupid Viscount Delk!" Seeing the situation turning sharply, Gray couldn't help but be angry.
"Stupid?" Bevin smiled bitterly, "Stupid is not terrible, what is terrible is the stupidity of greed. This guy just felt sorry for his dock."
Gray opened his mouth in surprise: "Uh, is that dock..."
"Time is urgent, I have no time to talk nonsense with him. I'll leave this pier."
"This pig!"
"Don't insult the pig." Bevin waved his hand, then his face darkened, "It's ridiculous! Still want a dock? I'm never stingy with sharing the benefits to my collaborators, but I won't give any of this guy who is dragging his back and making a bad thing."

In the attic, Tang En was eating the rice ball without any taste. Because Lina went to Linhe Street early in the morning to complete the demolition procedures and had not returned yet, he could only eat some leftovers.
What, do it yourself? What a joke... don't waste those materials.
Tang En, who has been harassed by Lina, can still eat the junk food she makes.
Crazy...
Hum? Tang En looked at the gloomy sky in surprise.
After setting up a wooden ladder, Tang En climbed up the wall with the rice ball.
With disheveled hair and strong literary temperament, Beth is now holding a paintbrush and depicting something intently.
"Hi." The bored Tang En took the lead in saying hello.
Bass had no reaction, as if he was completely immersed in the world of art.
Oh, ignore me, I was so enthusiastic last time... Tang En persisted: "Good noon."
“…”
"Have you eaten?"
"...I've eaten." Beth frowned and turned his head helplessly.
"Haha, I ate it, too."
Beth breathed: "Is there something wrong?"
"It's nothing, well, the weather is not good today, you're still hanging paintings?" Tang En began to find a topic.
"Um."
Tsk, Tang En continued to speak: "You don't like to talk?"
"Busy!" Beth said concisely.
"It's quite like an assassin." Tang En came to a horrifying conclusion.
Bass raised his head and put down his brush: "The mute is not talkative, but the mute is not all assassins."
"Uh... makes sense!"
Huh? Tang En's ears moved slightly, and when he turned around, he saw Lina open the back door and prepare to tie the horse's reins to the wooden stake next to it.
"Haha, I'll withdraw first, I'll talk to you next time."
Beth rolled his eyes, turned his head and ignored him.
Lina saw Don Eun climbing up the wall and asked in surprise: "Mr. Arthur, you are..."
"It's okay, contact your neighbors and you're finally back."
"Well, hehe, you're hungry." Lina turned around and smiled.
"Uh." Tang En burped and raised the rice ball in his hand speechlessly, "I'm full."
“…”
"Has the matter been done?"
"No." Lina frowned and said angrily, "Some strangers came and asked us to move away with just one gold coin. Everyone disagreed, and they still had to move..."
Tang En was stunned for a moment, then said angrily: "Forced demolition, is this, what happened later?"
"A noble lady happened to pass by there, and she was there. Those people didn't dare to do it, so they left cursingly."
Tang En was surprised: "Miss Noble?"
"Yes." Lina nodded, then tilted her head, "That noble lady is so elegant and has a good person. She said she would go there tomorrow, and she would keep paying attention to this matter. By the way, her name is Joshia."
"Joe, Joshia?"
