Chapter 129: Family Meeting
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Jack was an old friend of the William Family.
As a tier 6 knight, he was only one step away from becoming an advanced knight.
He was strong and loyal.
Even the first heir of the William Family, Alex was learning from him.
From this, one could see the respectful attitude of the William Family towards this middle-aged knight.
The few people standing by the side bowed to Family Head Lowe as well.
“Greetings, Family Head!” The blonde girl, Lisa.
“Greetings, Family Head.” The heir, Alan
“Greetings, Family Head~” The red-haired teenager, John.
The moment they saw Family Head Lowe, they immediately bowed.
This was to show their respect for Family Head Lowe, as well as their respect for the William Family.
The three of them had different expressions and tones when saying their greetings.
The girl, Lisa was a little more polite.
Alan was a little more ritualistic.
John was more sluggish, and his form of greeting was more casual, which made the middle-aged knight, Jack’s eyelids twitch when he saw this.
However, Family Head Lowe didn’t seem to care.
He smiled and greeted everyone.
Since those who were here were all elites of the family who had exceeding strength and loyalty, he naturally wouldn’t mind such a small detail.
“Family Head, then why did you summon us back today? We were having a great time killing in the Forest of Magic Beasts.”
The red-haired knight, John placed his hands behind his head and asked casually.
As one of the three great geniuses of the William Family, John didn’t want to waste his time on boring banquets and trivial matters, and as such his words were very direct and frank.
He did not have the slightest intention of beating around the bush.
The middle-aged knight pressed his temple, feeling a headache.
But as a genius, John had this privilege.
Family Head Lowe waved his hand to disperse the people around him.
“Let’s go, we’ll talk as we walk.”
“Yo, has Family Head had a change in personality? Usually, you would beat around the bush for quite some time before being willing to tell us what you want.”
John seemed to like his new style very much. He took the lead and stepped into the William Family’s inner residence.
Everyone followed him in sequence.
They all brushed past Ron.
When Alan walked past the front of Ron, he glanced at him discreetly.
The aura on his body was keenly captured by Ron.
“This is… Tier 6?”
Ron was surprised to find that Alan, who had been out for more than a month, had advanced.
He had become a tier 6 fire mage!
The William Family originally had three geniuses.
They were Alan, who was good at fire magic.
Knight John, who was good at close combat.
And knight Ron, who was very balanced in all aspects.
The three of them had always been the most talented in the William Family, and their levels were also always bitingly close with each other.
After graduating from school, their tiers had been stable at around tier 5.
However, each of them had their opportunities and lives.
Compared to Alan, who became the first heir of the Family, John chose to go out and become stronger, while he, Ron entered the Kingdom’s Knight Corps.
Due to certain matters, Ron, who originally had a bright future, was directly transferred out of the Knight Corps and became a member of the city defense team.
If it wasn’t for Eddie’s perfume, he probably wouldn’t have been able to appear at the family meeting at all, and he wouldn’t have known that Alan had become a Tier 6 mage.
In the short period of contact, both parties didn’t say anything, but the meaning was very obvious.
The current Ron didn’t have the foundation and conditions to compete with Alan.
His whole life might just be like this even to the end.
Ron did not say anything. He only slightly moved his right shoulder away.
Seemingly very satisfied with Ron’s action, Alan nodded his head lightly.
This scene was only seen by a few people who were paying attention.
The others had no idea what had just happened.
After Alan and the others walked in, Ron also followed behind them with his head lowered.
After entering the inner residence, Family Head Lowe explained about the little noble, Eddie, whom Ron had met before.
The other party had a magical alchemy formula called perfume that had a fragrance that could last for a long time and even had a slight magic effect.
Such a magical small item was definitely something that would be yearned for on the entire continent, but now, it was in the hands of a little noble.
On top of that, this noble had directly told them about his possession of such a thing without keeping his guard up.
He said that he wanted to seek cooperation.
As they spoke, everyone arrived in the meeting room where Family Head Lowe had met with Ron.
“Do you guys think that we should cooperate with him?”
Family Head Lowe sat down and asked everyone.
“Cooperate? Wouldn’t it be better to just snatch it? If you ask me, I can handle this matter for Family Head Lowe today if I were given a team of elites.”
John’s personality was the fieriest, so he was also the first to speak.
Family Head Lowe glanced at John and didn’t say anything. He then turned his gaze to the others.
“We can try to set up a trap and get the other party’s formula.”
The William Family had raised several such scammers in the market.
Many of them had done things like scamming little nobles to the point they were penniless.
“Wouldn’t it be easier to find a few swindlers to set up a trap?” The blonde girl, Lisa, asked tentatively.
As a girl, her first consideration was not to use violence to solve the problem. Instead, she wanted to use her brain to solve the problem.
Family Head Lowe nodded and did not speak. He continued to look at the others.
“We have to analyze the specific situation. If the little noble is in the city, we can use the swindlers’ plan. If the little noble is in the suburbs, I think John’s plan is more efficient.”
The middle-aged knight, Jack, gave his answer.
However, Family Head Lowe still did not speak. He looked at Alan.
He wanted to hear the thoughts of the first heir of the Family first.
Alan slowly opened his mouth and asked a question that did not seem to have anything to do with this matter.
“Is time tight?”
“Yes.”
“What’s the price we are willing to pay?”
“Whatever it takes.”
Alan let out a breath when he heard this.
“I understand. We’ll do it personally with less than five people.”
Alan had said what Lowe had planned to do.
“It should be the few of us, right?”
Family Head Lowe smiled when he heard this.
“Yes.”
“The people outside should be for stopping somebody else.”
Alan looked at the guards outside who were filled with killing intent.
Since they could not send out a large-scale attack, then it was quite clear that these people were not prepared for his party.
“Who?”
“Prince Seidan.”
Gasp!
Many people in the meeting room sucked in a breath of cold air.
Good Heavens, this old man was quite fierce, he was going head-to-head with Prince Seidan off the bat.
Family Head Lowe shook his head and explained.
“When the perfume was presented, many people had ideas about the formula. Since that’s the case, we might as well pick the biggest opponent and defeat him, teach a lesson to those hiding in the dark. We dare to go against the Prince, so those hiding in the dark would have to carefully consider whether they’re worthy to fight with the William Family!”
At this point, a murderous look appeared in the eyes of Family Head Lowe.
