My Maids are All Antagonists!

Chapter 116: Address Exposed!

“Who are we waiting for?”

Ron’s face was filled with confusion. If they wanted to discuss cooperation, it should be fine if they just brought their buddies along.

Did they still need to wait?

Family Head Lowe glanced at Ron, and said, “Of course we’re waiting for the helpers. Don’t tell me you really think that we’re going to go negotiate this time?”

This question stunned Ron.

“We want to do business, so what else can we do other than discuss the details and negotiate there?”

“Naive.”

When Family Head Lowe heard Ron’s words, his expression was a little disdainful.

“You were like this back then, and you’re still like this now. This time, not only do we have to get the formula, but we also have to get that person’s life!”

Hearing these words from the Family Head’s mouth, Ron obviously couldn’t believe his ears.

“This… Isn’t it inappropriate? Aren’t we doing business just for the sake of money? Family Head, give me a chance, I will definitely be able to get the formula through negotiations! I promised the other party that this business would be successfully negotiated.”

Ron was obviously unwilling to support Family Head Lowe’s plan.

He had made a promise back then. If he supported the Family Head’s plan, it would be equivalent to breaking his promise.

If so, not only would he fail to bring the business to the other party, but he would even have caused the other party to directly face the power of the William Family.

As a Family which operated businesses, Ron could not understand why the Family would suddenly resort to violent methods.

This did not make sense.

Upon hearing Ron’s words, Family Head Lowe sneered, as if he found Ron, who was so naive, very funny.

“What nonsense are you saying, my child? Don’t tell me you think our business is very clean? Among our vineyards, wine, the channels for maintaining relations with the palace, not one can be called clean. Do you know how the Kingdom was established in the beginning?”

As if to test Ron, Family Head Lowe asked softly.

“Uh… It was all thanks to the wise command of His Majesty King Andrew and the heroic actions of the kingdom’s Knight Corps that the current Kingdom was founded…”

Ron recalled what he had read in books.

As a person of the Kingdom who had received knight education since childhood, he had only read about the founding history of the Kingdom from books, but he had never heard many people mention it, including Family Head Lowe.

Weren’t they talking about business now? What did this have to do with the founding of the kingdom?

Family Head Lowe smiled when he heard Ron’s answer.

“Yes, your answer is very good. That’s indeed what the books say. But is the real history like that?”

Family Head Lowe put down the book in his hand and stood up from his desk.

“Back then, His Majesty King Andrew was short of manpower and money. In order to recruit people, he forcibly made commoners from the countryside join the military. And for money, guess what idea His Majesty King Andrew came up with?”

Without waiting for Ron to answer, Family Head Lowe continued.

“His Majesty disguised all the members of the Knight Corps of the Kingdom as robbers to rob the rich merchants of the surrounding countries! As long as the other party was rich, he didn’t care if one was a man or a woman. He killed them all and took back all the money to use as military expenses.”

“Impossible! How could the Knight Corps of the Kingdom do such a thing? !”

Hearing this, Ron was unable to accept it.

What Family Head Lowe had said was completely different from the education he had received.

And thus his brain instinctively opposed these words.

“But this is the truth, child.”

Family Head Lowe looked at Ron, who was unwilling to accept the truth, and his tone gradually slowed down.

“Now, the opportunity has finally come for the great William Family to choose. Should we let go of this great opportunity for the sake of business, or should we choose to seize this opportunity for the revival of the Family? The decision is in your hands.”

At this moment, Ron’s thoughts were a little chaotic.

His brain had received too much information all at once, and his head was a little dizzy.

Originally, he just wanted to strike a business deal and return to the Family.

It was that simple.

Why did the whole matter suddenly become so serious?

It was related to the Kingdom and the Family.

Even though he was the youngest tier-five knight in the Family, he had never thought of becoming an existence like the family’s turning point.

Ron’s entire person was numb.

“Then what should I do?”

“What you need to do now is give me the mage’s address. I’ll handle the rest.”

Family Head Lowe said indifferently.

“But the other party is very strong. That mage defeated an elite tier-five mage. He won’t be easy to deal with. If we choose to use force, it’s very unwise.”

Ron wanted to plead on Eddie’s behalf.

But this time, Family Head Lowe was determined to make a move.

Every second he spent here would increase the chances of his movements being noticed by the Prince at any time.

He could not waste time.

Hearing Ron say that the other party had defeated a tier 5 mage, Family Head Lowe shook his head.

“I heard from Rollin that the mage was defeated by you and the mage jointly. At most, he’s only a tier 4 intermediate mage. He can’t do much.”

After saying that, Family Head Lowe’s combat aura exploded.

In an instant, the power of this combat aura rose to its limit.

Ron was initially shocked by this sudden burst of aura.

Immediately after, he sensed that the strength of this combat aura was almost the same as his combat aura.

“Tier 5 combat aura…”

Ron looked at Family Head Lowe in shock.

He did not know that Family Head Lowe was a tier 5 knight like him!

There was no mistake, the thick silver combat aura on Family Head Lowe was something only a tier 5 powerhouse would be able to have.

This… He had originally only thought that Family Head Lowe was a simple businessman, he did not expect him to hide his true strength so deeply.

Tier 5 powerhouses could already be considered elites in the army.

As a noble, Family Head Lowe could be said to be very powerful to be able to cultivate to tier 5.

Looking at Ron, who was gaping and was at a loss for words, Family Head Lowe said confidently, “Not only me, but a few of my helpers also have the strengths of tier 5 or 6. Using them to deal with a little mage who’s not even at tier 5, I can crush him in a minute.”

There was actually more?

Ron suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

If there were only one or two tier 5 mages, he could still plead on Eddie’s behalf, but now, he was nothing since there were a bunch of people who were stronger than him.

His words carried no weight at all.

“About what we talked about today, keep it in your heart and seal your mouth shut. Don’t let anyone else know about it. If this matter can be successfully finished, you will be a member of the Family’s core circle. In the future, the position of the Family’s heir may also be yours.”

Family Head Lowe knew the principle of alternating kindness with cruelty.

Under a series of threats and inducements, he promised a big chunk of the loot, which he directly stuffed into Ron’s mouth, and Ron swallowed it on the spot.

In a daze, the young Ron told him the address of Eddie’s castle.

“It’s in the suburbs of the imperial capital? We have to leave the city?”
