The Knight's Journey to the Empire

On the second day, in the study of Baron Soran's mansion.

Soran sat casually in the chair behind the desk, looking nonchalantly at the man standing in front of him.

Thomas and Maria stood on the left and right, one massaging his shoulders and the other holding tea, serving him.

If Ramos was here, he would find that the man standing in front of the young master was actually the record clerk who was reported by Allen for corruption and bribery during the last recruitment activity for the Territory Guard.

And he is the culprit who caused the Gelu Village incident.

This man's name was Trem, and he was one of the first people to follow Soran.

They were the people who had followed Sauron from Connat City to the White Bear Territory to take office as lords!

Trem's father was a wealthy merchant in Connacht, and he was the second son in the family.

At the celebration party held by Soran in Connat City, his father donated a considerable sum of money to support the development and construction of White Bear Territory.

This gave him an opportunity to follow Sauron and develop in the north!

Last time, after Alan reported Trem for corruption and bribery in the territory guard team, Ramos reported him to Soren, but neither Soren nor Ramos punished him properly in the end!

In the end, his salary was only suspended for two months as a symbolic measure!

Despite this, Trem knew that he could no longer develop in the Territory Guard!

It just so happened that his family's business had a lot of cooperation with Adam's family's business, so he and Adam could be considered a pair of drinking buddies!

So he used Adam's connections and asked Adam to transfer him to the Government Affairs Office to serve as an ordinary staff member!

As luck would have it, after the completion of this large-scale arable land reclamation project, when Bai Xiong Ling was preparing to distribute the arable land, the staff member assigned by the Government Affairs Office to Gelu Village to supervise the implementation was him!

This time, Trem also failed to withstand the temptation of money and was corrupted by Alexius!

So he turned a blind eye to Alexius's behavior!

His idea was very simple: as long as the arable land could be distributed normally to the people, he didn't care how it was distributed!

So this led to what happened later!

Moreover, Trem had long hated Allen for reporting him, and he had also already found out the situation of Allen's family!

So that day, when Vinad sneaked into Allen's house and committed the crime, it was actually the result of his secret instructions and his actions.

And if Venard succeeds, he will threaten Allen's future so that Allen's mother will not dare to tell anyone about it.

In this way, he concealed the truth and achieved his desire of revenge on Allen!

[Tlem: Madam, you don’t want your son to know about this, do you?]

But unfortunately, Trem never expected that Soran would suddenly come to Gru Village with a ten-man knight guard.

Then, by chance, the crying Yana discovered the matter and got involved, determined to stand up for Aaron and that group of untouchables!

Moreover, Alexius and his son Venard were equally incompetent. They gave him up without even any trial!

So that’s why Sauron summoned him to the study today!

"Tlem, do you know why I asked you to come here today?" Soran said in a light tone while drinking tea leisurely.

"My Lord Baron, I know!" Trem's tone was full of helplessness.

After all, for him, these things were really unexpected!

"Then what do you say we should do?" Soran asked jokingly.

"Leave it to the Baron!" Trem was a bachelor and spoke directly.

I will definitely not die, otherwise I would have been among the people killed in public yesterday!

But this is just as the saying goes: You can escape the death penalty, but you can’t escape the living punishment!

Trem knew that he couldn't escape this time, so he didn't care!

Soran didn't want to care about his attitude, but said directly: "I give you two choices, either leave White Bear Territory immediately, or stay in White Bear Territory forever!"

Trem was a little puzzled and asked doubtfully: "Baron, what does it mean to stay in White Bear Territory forever? This is a little confusing to me."

Soran sneered, looked straight at him, and said in a cold tone: "What I mean is, if you are confused by what I said, then you will really be confused in the future!"

Suddenly, Trem understood, said "Thank you, Baron", and ran away with a pale face without looking back.

Looking at Trem's flustered figure, Soran sneered in his heart with great disdain: You dare to act like a big shot in front of me? I'll hit you with the head off!

In fact, if we kill Trem directly, this would naturally be the best option!

After all, this will cause trouble!

Now that I've offended you, I have to do it to the best of my ability!

But unfortunately, Sauron still has to take the face of his territory staff into consideration!

Most of the staff members working under him now are like Trem, who followed him from Conant City to seek development!

Moreover, their status and position are similar to that of Trem, either they are descendants of nobility or the descendants of rich and powerful people.

Anyway, he is the kind of class defender who has a certain social status but is self-righteous and overconfident!

Therefore, deep down in their hearts, they still look down upon these ordinary subjects!

So, to them, what Trem did was just teasing a few trashy people, and it was not worth making a fuss about!

However, if Soran executed Triem in public because of this, it would definitely make them unhappy!

Although they would not choose to betray Sauron for this reason, they would definitely form small circles among each other to deceive Sauron and trip him up.

The daily management of the current territory still requires their help, so Sauron has to take them into consideration as well.

Of course, in order to change this situation, Soran has begun to train the locals of White Bear Territory.

For example, the ten-man knight guards are all locals.

In the future, they will definitely participate in various tasks in the territory, and even replace some people!

As we all know, balance is the basic strategy to maintain a power!

But...

"Thomas, call Ramos over and tell him I have something important to discuss with him!" Soran ordered casually.

Trem, my Lord Baron, I let you leave the territory alive!

But if you are killed by some unidentified person after you leave White Bear Territory, it will have nothing to do with me!

Of course, death without a complete body is the final result...
