They all call me master

Looking at the outstretched palm of the 'spiritual medium' in front of him, Lissop's eyes were still unhappy, but he was not rude.

The Lord stood up, shook Arthur's hand, and then began to write the contents of the transaction on the contract just now, and marked some details.

For example: If this Lord violates the contract, he will directly encounter death.

After Arthur's inspection was correct, the Lord pricked his finger and dripped blood - unlike Little Lissop's public contract, this kind of private transaction contract required the blood of one party as evidence.

Especially the blood of the 'noble' side is even more important.

Because it’s all well-documented!

Arthur watched the blood dripping from the other person's fingertips on the parchment. The scarlet and black ink lit up at this moment. It lasted for less than a second, and all the writing on the contract was enveloped in a faint red. Among them, the radiant light belonging to the contract itself is even more intense.

After checking it again, Arthur put away the contract and made a gesture of please to Lissop.

The Lord immediately stood up and walked outside No. 2 Kirk Street.

Under the banyan tree, little Lisop, accompanied by Edwin, had been waiting for a long time.

Looking at his father who came out, the lord's son immediately lowered his head in shame.

Lissop looked at his son, but didn't say anything. He just patted his son lightly on the shoulder——

"Let's go back to South Town."

"Yes, father."

Lissop took little Lissop away.

Edwin also returned to the carriage.

Arthur stared at the lord's carriage.

He always felt like something was wrong.

As a 'spiritual medium', Arthur believes in his 'intuition'!

Therefore, the next moment, Fujin on the roof of No. 2 Kirk Street fluttered up and blended into the night.

At the same time, Arthur couldn't help but asked Malinda beside him——

"That Lord Lissop really doesn't have an illegitimate son? He only has one son, Little Lissop?"

The life of aristocrats is quite decadent.

Most nobles have more than one illegitimate son or daughter.

The illegitimate sons of some traditional nobles are quite capable of forming a family guard.

This is not an exaggeration.

For some traditional nobles, it is extremely cost-effective to disclose the identity of an illegitimate child, sign a contract, and recruit him to work in the family. Not only does he not need to worry about inheritance, but he also has blood ties.

It would even be better if one or two of them awakened their bloodline.

And many new nobles who follow tradition are also following this approach.

As for Lithorpe?

He happens to be a new noble who follows tradition.

“Lord Lissop only has one son, Little Lissop!

At least, that's what I've gathered! "

Malinda emphasized.

No one can give a 100% correct answer.

However, this lady was obviously shocked by Lisop's handiwork - 20% of the coal mine and iron ore business, in exchange for her son. If this news was known, I am afraid that a group of people, including noble children, would rush over to Lisop. Be a son.

To know that the shares of 20% of the business are enough to be called an astronomical figure!

Because it is a steady stream of dividends that comes every year!

If the 20% iron ore and coal mine business is given to her, she will be able to organize an ocean-going trading fleet in less than three years.

after?

It’s a snowball!

As long as the mineral resources are not exhausted within ten years, she is sure to spread her influence throughout South County, and even expand her business territory to North County.

pity……

The 20% of the income is not hers.

It's Arthur's!

Although Arthur is her partner, she is well aware of Arthur's greed, but she also understands that she must pay a sufficient price if she wants to use this resource.

‘What should I exchange for it? ’

The woman began to think.

Unconsciously, the lady frowned.

Because she really couldn't think of what to replace it with.

Malinda, who was thinking with her head down, followed Arthur, bypassed the [Death Snake Banyan] and walked towards No. 2 Kirk Street. When she walked into the corridor, Arthur suddenly asked -

"Malinda, you said that if I exchanged 10% of Nanzhen's iron ore and coal mine business for Nanzhen... would the earl agree?"

“Although South Town itself is not valuable, it is still a town with a population of 20,000!

Therefore, 10% of the shares are not enough!

One and a half to two percent is more reliable! "

Malinda said this after assessment.

Then, the lady glanced at Arthur who was thinking and reminded him directly.

"Murdering a noble is a great crime!"

If you want to get South Town from the Count of Nanlos, naturally South Town must return to the hands of the Count of Nanlos.

And if Nan Town is to be returned to the hands of the Earl of Nanlos, the current owner, Lord Lithorpe, must die.

But as we all know, Lord Lissop has always been in good health.

Not only strong, but also strong.

With that kind of appearance, he would have no problem living for another twenty years.

Of course, accidents happen.

No one knows what will happen tomorrow.

but,

Malinda didn't want Arthur to be the one to take action.

After all, nobles not only have many means of self-protection, but also have more means of 'pursuing murderers'.

As long as they are willing to invest resources, these nobles can always find out who killed the nobles.

Malinda didn't want her partner to lose her future.

She and Arthur were still young and had plenty of time to wait.

Of course, apart from the advice from her partner, this lady still had some minor complaints in private.

After all, Arthur had asked her about her thoughts on Nanzhen the day before.

And she expressed her interest quite frankly.

But now?

Arthur is about to claim South Town for himself.

‘Humph, you are a ungrateful guy!

When I heard the news about 'Bloody John' so easily and confirmed that you were involved in the situation, leading the other party out and tracking down the whereabouts of the 'White Crow', I felt embarrassed and thought I needed to compensate you.

Now?

Hum!

Gone!

Consider this news that I overheard as your compensation for me! ’

Malinda hummed several times in her heart, took her pipe in her mouth again, took two strong puffs, her cheeks bulged, and then she blew out the thick smoke towards Arthur.

The woman was going out of her way to look down on Arthur.

Almost instantly, smoke enveloped Arthur.

The young 'spiritual medium' waved his hands to disperse the smoke, and continued to walk forward while saying——

“How could I possibly murder a noble?

I have no grudge against Lord Lissop!

Moreover, Lord Lissop and I just completed a happy transaction. "

"I didn't say it was Lord Lissop. You obviously have a guilty conscience!"

Malinda said, rolling her eyes at Arthur.

"For a person with a heart, everything looks dirty!"

Arthur shot back.

"Oh, compared with yours, my heart is as holy as a virgin."

Malinda sneered and sprayed Arthur with smoke again.

Arthur, who had already reached the entrance of the psychic hall, stopped when faced with such a 'smoke attack'. He turned around and looked at Malinda, who looked aggrieved, and smiled.

"What do you want to do?"

Malinda became alarmed.

The young 'spiritual medium' shook his head, turned around and continued walking towards the medium's small hall, but in his hand he took out the contract he had just signed with Lissop.

Without stopping, he threw himself back and said softly——

"then."
