Only a few minutes later, the blood-like sunset sunk into the earth on the west side.
The dim shadows pressed down at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the sunset, which originally exuded a satin-like vermilion light, gradually dimmed.
But at this time, the hollow above the central area of the White Tower became more and more conspicuous.
As the sunset gradually gathered and buried into the ground, the deep red and purple outline could not help but not look pale due to the loss of the sunset light, but became more vivid and dazzling.
"Oh, by the way," Roland seemed to suddenly remember something and handed a money bag to Robert, "your profits."
"It really does exist..."
Robert took the money bag with a complicated mood.
Roland put his hands on his hips and said with an upright look: "Of course. I'm not here to defraud you of money."
I'm here to scam everyone's money.
Roland added silently in his mind.
"How about it, do you want to try again? You can make a tenth of the profit in more than two days or less than three days - there is no such profit in selling drugs."
"...I have to say, I'm tempted."
Robert said in a deep voice: "But at the same time, I also feel a little uneasy..."
"You make money too quickly, right?"
Roland cast an understanding look at him.
Robert looked at Roland hesitantly, worried that Roland would think he was stingy, but he immediately felt at ease.
"Yes. This money is earned too quickly..."
Robert nodded with a serious look on his face: "I am a noble, not a businessman... You will pay the price for your opportunistic tricks."
hehe.
Roland almost laughed out loud.
If a nobleman from Bansa, a nobleman from Suze, a nobleman from Kalar—or even a nobleman from the mountain people said this, Roland would believe it to some extent.
But this sentence definitely does not apply to the Titanic nobles.
Titan is rich in big businessmen.
An outstanding Titan merchant may not be a noble, but every Titan noble is an outstanding merchant.
When mentioning Titan, people think of wine, food and beautiful women.
There, everything can be clearly marked with a price, not to mention the wives and daughters of fallen nobles. Even freedom and belief can be sold.
"Oh... you are indeed a great nobleman of Titan..."
Roland whispered each word in a teasing tone.
Robert looked at "Hellland"'s charming eyes and narrowed them like a little fox. He bent down slightly and tilted his head to look at himself, feeling suddenly panicked.
"If you're worried about risk, you might as well invest less."
Roland leaned his head over and stared at Robert carefully. Then he suddenly took a few steps back and said in a calm tone: "Then let's stop there. I'll just find other people to cooperate, Mr. Noble."
"Don't!"
Robert panicked and immediately grabbed Roland's shoulders.
"Hellan, don't take it to heart, I just said that...I will definitely continue to vote here..."
"No, no, no, why would I take it to heart..."
Roland did not break away from his hands on his shoulders, and just put his hands on his lower abdomen gracefully, with his eyes full of smiles: "But you are a nobleman. Grand Duke Suzerante of Titan said it well.'
Aristocrats never come to the gaming table' - right?"
At this time, Robert finally realized that this investment was not "Herland" begging him to join, but he should be begging "Herland" to allow him to enter this circle.
For a moment, he couldn't help but feel bitterness in his throat.
He finally tasted the bitter consequences of his arrogance.
"Miss Herland...please give me a chance."
"You should call me Miss Herlan Alexevna!"
A hint of lioness-like majesty suddenly flashed across "Miss Herland's" face.
She said in an almost arrogant tone - or, like the tone Robert used before, just a more exaggerated tone: "Mr. Robert, you are now putting your hand on a young lady's shoulder."
superior!"
The voice was delicate, but sonorous and powerful: "If your family motto is that you should be proud of the 'brave behavior' of an unmarried woman who behaves disrespectfully, then please allow my knight to have a glorious duel with you!"
At this time, Claudia, who was also born into a noble family, finally smelled the smoke.
The words "Hellan" involve the other party's family, and on earth it is equivalent to greeting the eighteen generations of the other party's ancestors in a cordial and warm tone.
She almost thought Roland was going to break up with Robert.
But at this moment, something surprising happened to Claudia——
"...I'm sorry."
Robert's expression froze for about five or six seconds, and then he suddenly let go of Roland's shoulder, took out his handkerchief with an almost humble gesture, and dusted Roland's shoulder like a servant.
Then, he stood up straight with a serious face and gave Roland a Titanic noble salute: "Let me reintroduce you to the distinguished Miss Herlan Alexevna."
"I am Robert von Ludwig, the ninth heir to the Titan Empire, and I currently hold the title of Viscount."
He took two steps back, returned to the starting position, and then once again gave Roland the courtesy of a Suze noble: "I apologize to you again."
"May you forgive me."
Ha. A smart guy.
Roland narrowed his eyes and showed a pleasant smile.
"...Okay, Viscount Robert," Roland's voice returned to the gentleness it had at the beginning, "I also ask you to forgive Herland's joke——"
"Where is it?"
Robert and Roland looked at each other and smiled. Claudia and An Ruosi, who were ready to break up the fight, couldn't help but look at each other, feeling confused.
But they didn't know that Roland had already stepped on the edge of death before——
"Miss Herland, let's go to Line 4 first. We'll talk as we walk."
After being forgiven by Herlan, Robert showed a sunny and smiling smile.
He enthusiastically walked to Hellan's side, but was careful not to touch any piece of Hellan's skin.
Robert finally stopped hiding his true nature as a businessman.
He held his hand low in Hellan's ear and said, "I have an idea about how to use your channel to make more profits..."
Roland listened to his plan and nodded repeatedly.
At the same time, gradually relax the right hand holding the staff and sword tightly.
It seemed that the two of them just had a little verbal conflict before, but it was actually a big gamble by Roland, and it was also Robert's test of Herlan.
If Roland didn't react to Robert's rude actions, it either meant that "Helllan" was good enough to seduce, or it meant that she was not as noble as Robert thought.
Roland saw through his thoughts, but did not take the move. Instead, he overturned the chessboard and threw the choice back to Robert.
Based on "Helllan's" sufficiently impudent behavior, he judged that her identity might be far more noble than he initially thought.
So Robert, who was also at an impasse, made a bet.
What he was betting on was the woman "Hellan", who he couldn't afford to offend.
But he didn't know that Roland also made a bet.
What he was betting on was that Robert would definitely think that the woman "Herlan" was untouchable——
Obviously, Roland won.
This bet is unfair to both parties.
If Robert loses, then at most he will go from "almost no possibility of succession" to "completely no possibility of succession."
But if Roland loses...
This means that he will be regarded as an enemy by the angry Robert. Not to mention that the plan in the White Tower will be blocked, even the subsequent establishment of power will encounter huge resistance for no reason, and even personal safety will be hugely threatened.
But since Roland dares to open this extremely unfavorable market for himself, he naturally has the confidence - (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
