After I became a real young master, I became famous for my bad behavior

Although Eric's combat ability is not strong, he is very good at refining medicine (especially poison):

If the medicine is used properly, it can save lives or hurt people.

So he and Scott were the "Black Haynes".

And from what Everett said earlier, "adopted younger sons and daughters", it can be seen that the two adopted sons and daughters were "white Impes".

Sheen put his hands on his hips and praised Eric:

"You are very powerful. After being recognized by the Duke, you became the Black Imperius in charge of the military. This shows that you are very powerful."

"I..."

Eric wanted to make some excuses.

Sheen saw what Eric wanted to say - non-blood-related brothers and sisters are also excellent.

"The other adopted sons and daughters are not bad either, otherwise they wouldn't be recognized as excellent Impers by the Duke and Duchess."

Sheen praised Impes' three adopted sons with sincere eyes (the rainbow fart must be praised):

"Whether it's the Black Impes or the White Impes, they are both recognized by the Impes family. I think this is also the real reason why you can live in harmony even though you are not related by blood...

"Because you would say to each other from the bottom of your heart, 'I want to get along with you at Impex', wouldn't you?"

"Because you're saying to each other, 'I want to get along with you at Impex,' right?"

Such words were like a cool breeze blowing across the hot desert, which made Eric feel very healed:

Growing up, outsiders only saw Impels as ruthless opponents, and no one was really willing to praise them.

What's more, such praise actually bypassed the Duke of Impes's biological children, and praised the adopted children who worked silently behind the scenes for the prosperity of the family.

Eric thought:

"Xion's praise is just."

"But you are Haynes. I can't confirm whether what you said is true or false." Eric's comment made Sheen alert again.

This guy is really hard to deal with...

Sheen clenched his right fist, he was a little nervous.

"Of course, this does not affect my praise for you: you are the Haines who can break free from being influenced by others and speak his mind. This is different from the Haines I imagined."

Eric also spoke compliments to Sheen, then stood up and tried to put his hand into Sheen's hair.

Sheen saw liquid on Eric's hands - it was the liquid used to remove the hair dye.

Eric continued:

"I really like your attitude, Sheen..."

But Eric was thinking:

If you are only saying this for the benefit of your family,

So...

We need to see if this is true.

"If you want to be Impes's friend, you need to show your ambition, not your desire to rebel."

Sheen is no fool.

Prove ambition...

I'll accompany you!

despair.

He ignored Eric's hand and said coldly, word by word:

"You have a solvent in your hand. Are you doubting me?"

Eric had sweat on his forehead, as if he had done something shameful.

Xien sneered:

Humph.

"If you are speaking against your conscience just because I am of legitimate blood, I would rather not have such praise."

A rebellious person, fighting poison with poison (praise me, praise me quickly).

Sean looked up (Eric is 186cm tall!), his brown eyes staring coldly at Eric's:

"I chose you to be my friend not for the sake of contact with Impes. I chose you for your character."

(Although I am a little short, I cannot lose in momentum!)

Sheen half-opened his eyes and said:

"I chose you, you know that?"

For the first time, Eric witnessed the oppression of the orthodox bloodline.

Well, we don't even need to touch him to know that Sheen is the legitimate descendant of Haines...

Eric briefly analyzed Sheen's purpose in inviting him:

(This is information shared within the Impes family)

Although Sean Haines is of true orthodox blood, the Haines family only brought him back to Haines three years ago under the will of God.

After returning to the Duke's Mansion, Xi Lun, as an adopted son, wanted to drive him out and continue to occupy Xi En's position.

This is what Eric found ridiculous.

At the beginning, Xien was far inferior to Xiren, who had everything, and no one else helped him.

I heard that Sheen found the Magic Tower himself and obtained the admission qualification, so that he could come to Pereo College for further studies - otherwise he would have been trapped in the Duke's Palace as a mascot.

Eric felt sorry for Sheen when he thought of this.

"For Sheen, Pereo College is a good place to gain connections. And the best power in the north is the Impes family."

“It’s a very reasonable choice indeed.”

Eric admired Sheen in his heart.

"Ah."

Eric nodded and sat back in his seat.

Sheen could see that this was Eric's respect for Sheen.

Ding Dong!

The system display appears in front of Sheen (only Sheen can see it):

"Mission successful, reward has been received~"

Then came the sound of gold coins flowing - 10 gold coins have entered my ID!

call--

“Finally I’ve dealt with this tough guy Eric!”

Sheen was overjoyed.

......

Of course, the final finishing touches need to be done.

Sheen pretended to be calm, put his hands behind his back, and said to Eric with a smile:

“I hope we can become good friends who help each other.”

"What did you say?"

“Be good friends who help each other.”

Of course, Sheen did not forget the setting of "Game of Mediation" -

At Impex, "mutual help" means that both parties leverage each other's strengths to complement each other's weaknesses and maximize their benefits.

This is also what Eric said to the Duke of Impes after making a deal with him.

The Duke agreed.

Although Sheen only meant "get along well" in a superficial sense:

(Eyes shining)

As long as you establish a good relationship with Eric, you can successfully enter the Impes family and complete the "Explore the Secrets of Impes" plot given by the system.

“I will have new rewards!”

"(And Eric will become the most powerful pharmacist in the future. He will definitely be of great use~)"

Sheen was attracted by Eric's ability.

Eric answered perfunctorily:

"Well, you're very kind."

But what he was thinking was——

"It seems that he doesn't have enough power and wants to learn governance experience from Imperius."

......

At night, Eric set up a small table on his bed and took out a piece of magic letter paper with a teleportation magic circle on the back from the safe.

(Sound of pen cap opening)

Eric sat cross-legged on the bed and scribbled on the letter paper:

"Father, after my careful exploration and confirmation, I am sure that Sean Haines is the true orthodox bloodline...

"The rumors about Xilun are all true. He is indeed a bad guy..."
