Chapter 96 Pushing the envelope

At 9 o'clock in the morning the next day, Emerson came to the Lord's Mansion again. This time he did not deliberately ask Paul to wait for him.

"Haha! Lord Grayman has set up a big battle."

Emerson said with a smile after seeing many more people in the room.

Of course, this did not scare him. Emerson came to the place where he was sitting yesterday confidently and calmly. He sat down without waiting for Paul to speak and asked, "Mr. Graiman, what are you talking about?" You should think about it carefully in the evening, right?”

"I can bear it-" Paul secretly persuaded himself in his heart.

He smiled and nodded: "Sir Emerson, I have thought about it."

"For the sake of the friendship between the Kent family and the Gleiman family, I decided to accept your proposal on sharing profits. But regarding the condominium of Bailding, I will never agree to it, otherwise I will feel sorry for the deceased Uncle Gardner, and the real lord of Bailding is Myron Gardner.”

"I will not agree to the request you made yesterday regarding Bailding."

Myron next to him shook his head towards Emerson and said.

"Oh..."

Emerson looked a little disappointed and shook his head.

"Lord Kent will be very disappointed."

He stared at Paul motionless, and the two sides faced off like this.

Finally, after a long inner struggle, Paul gave in to his bottom line: "If the Kent family can give up their demands on Bailding, we can share more in terms of profits."

Then he waited for the other party's reply without saying a word.

Emerson kept touching his chin, seeming to be considering what Paul just said.

In fact, he had already made a decision in his heart, but he enjoyed this feeling of "judgment". He watched the other party anxiously (in his opinion) waiting for his reply, and for some reason suddenly There is a feeling that one's words can determine the other person's fate.

"The whole room is now waiting quietly for my sentencing." This is what Emerson is thinking about now.

What sentence should be given to them?

Alas, Graiman, Graiman, if you had come to see me immediately when I first arrived here the day before yesterday, I would have let you go now.

What a pity, what a pity, you made a mistake of being disrespectful to me and must be punished.

After Emerson deliberately waited for a while, he put on a serious expression and finally spoke: "Paul Graeman."

"Since you failed to make a decision in time A decision that satisfies the Kent family, so I make the following requests to you on behalf of the Earl."

"First, increase the profits shared by the Earl of Kent and Duke Ferdinand to one-third."

"Second, hand over the paper-making and porcelain-making technology to the Kent family."

"Third, immediately give up half of Bairding's territory to the Kent family."

"Chapter Four,..."

A strange smile appeared on Emerson's originally serious face:

"...pledge allegiance to the legitimate heir of Lord Maltz Kent."

After finishing these four requests that he added on his own, Emerson couldn't help but feel excited:

Hmph! Kneel down and beg me for mercy. This is your punishment for neglecting me.

Paul Grayman, as a weakling, you dare not come to see me immediately. Who do you think you are, just a nominal earl who doesn't even have a knight under you.

But if you make me happy, maybe you can be let go, of course, maybe.

Although he was excited, Emerson still maintained a calm look except for a smile on his face, and he slowly picked up the water glass and took a sip of water.

At this time, Paul was stunned. He was completely stunned by the greed of the other party.

Other people in the reception room also had expressions of disbelief, and none of them responded.

Paul suddenly felt that his sleeve was being pulled by someone. When he came to his senses, he turned around and saw that it was Supervisor Ford who was pulling at him.

I saw the five fingers of Old Ford's right hand stretched out like a knife, pointing downwards.

The meaning is very clear: Lord Earl, let the war begin!

The other party's request is really too much. It has already exceeded the limit of what Alda can bear. Once agreed, the Graiman family will no longer have a foothold in the northwest.

There are some spiritual things that cannot be given up no matter what. Obviously, it is time to face the challenge. Seeing that Chief Ford, the biggest partisan, had begun to seek a fight, Paul quickly made a decision in his heart.

He straightened his body and asked Emerson with a smile: "Sir Emerson, can you fully represent the Earl of Kent?"

Emerson While waiting for Paul to beg him for mercy, he was suddenly asked this question. He hesitated for a moment, but then said with a straight face: "Of course, Lord Kent has given me full authority to handle the negotiations with you."

Paul continued to ask: "Did Mr. Kent personally request the conditions you just mentioned?"

Emerson was slightly annoyed: "What does Mr. Grayman mean? I just said that Mr. Kent has already I have been given full authority to handle the negotiations with you, and I don’t want to repeat it a second time.”

Well, Paul doesn’t want to ask any more, regardless of whether Malz Kent personally requested these four items, or this. The messenger named Emerson stepped in and took over. Anyway, the situation is now going to end.

He crossed his hands and leaned on the table with his arms, a look of determination on his face.

Emerson suddenly felt uncomfortable with Paul's posture and new expression. Did this little lord dare to refuse his own conditions? Haha, impossible.

The confident smile returned to his face again. This time he asked for many benefits beyond expectations on behalf of the Earl of Kent. This elder would definitely reward himself heavily.

However, what Paul said next made him unable to react.

"Sir Emerson, given that the Kent family has made such an unreasonable request, I think it is a great insult to the Gleiman family."

"Therefore, in the future, with the Kent family People related to the family are no longer welcome in both Alda and Bailding. Once discovered, they will be expelled immediately."

"Now..."

Paul stopped suddenly, stared intently at the face opposite him that disgusted him so much, and then said word by word:

“Get out of here!”
< br>The smile on Emerson's face suddenly froze.

What? Did I hear you right? This little lord who couldn't even recruit a knight under his command actually asked him to get out. Haha, it's a fantasy.

He asked doubtfully: "Count Grayman, what did you just say?"

Paul said angrily: "I told you to get out, are your ears clogged with feces or your brain is so wet that you can't analyze other people's words?"

Okay, this time Emerson heard clearly. , this little lord who didn’t even have a knight, actually asked himself to go away, let himself, a nobleman of the royal capital, go away, and let himself, the envoy of the Kent family, go away.

Absurd! How ridiculous!

Emerson stood there at a loss.

“Get out!”

Bryce suddenly shouted at him.

“Get out!”

Other people in the living room began to angrily repeat the same words to him.

Emerson suddenly felt a little scared. He tried to restrain this feeling and pointed at the people headed by Paul.

"You, you, and you, all wait for me, all of you, wait for me."

Seeing how arrogant he was, Bryce suddenly pulled out his sword and pointed it at him, shouting again He roared: "Get out!"

The frightening sword light shone on Emerson's face. He trembled all over, but his face quickly regained its arrogant expression.

"Humph!"

He snorted heavily, adjusted his clothes in front of Bryce's sword, then turned and walked out.

...

Emerson did not stop after returning to the inn. He called his servant and rode out of Lake Town.

"Wait! Wait for the Kent family's knight army to crush you idiots who don't know the heights of heaven and earth!"

He cursed in his heart.

But he had to think about how to face his Uncle Kent first. If he hadn't made those four new demands over and over again, Paul Greenman would have been close to agreeing to the previous conditions... …
