——Aarons was almost brought into his own rhythm by the opponent.
Those remarks filled with contempt and greed just now really filled Aarons’ head with rage for a moment.
But after forcing himself to calm down with the forty years of life experience from his previous life, he suddenly discovered a key problem that he had unconsciously overlooked.
"What are you planning to do?"
This guy's words were indeed logical and moral, but his words and actions had an inexplicable sense of strangeness from the beginning.
That’s right, it would be fine if he said these words to Karin and Xia Ye in private, but he came here deliberately to tell her.
——If you plan to poach outstanding employees from other companies, why do you need to tell their boss about these things specifically?
"I am just curious about how the guy who dares to use these poaching tactics on other employers will react after being rejected."
“Hahaha – Ahahahahaha!”
Just like a carefully designed scam was exposed, Kuran was stunned for a moment, then he covered his face and burst into laughter.
"Sure enough, the eldest son of the Marquis's family is not a stupid and incompetent person at all! Those fools who have no vision will soon realize that they are the fools!"
Seeing the other party's strong emotional reaction, Aarons also became irritated.
"What can you gain by testing me again and again like this?"
"Just want to check where to place the bet."
Kuran quickly restrained his expression, bowed his head slightly to apologize to Aarons, then took out a yellow envelope from his waist and handed it to Aarons.
"When the next group was active in Cadia, they received a high-paying commission. Please take a look at the details and you will know."
"This is--"
The content written on the letter paper was very simple.
[The border provinces oppressed by the Empire will usher in a huge change. I hope you will assist our commissioners in infiltrating. When the time is right, we will work together to liberate the exploited people.]
"...You sound quite righteous, these bastards."
The Kingdom of Cardia has always coveted this land. Now that the Marquis, who still had some influence, is dead, the Empire's response has been rather slow.
Each city in the territory is taking advantage of this chaotic time to establish its own territory. Even if the new lord takes office smoothly, it will be difficult for him to quickly control all places.
If Cardia were to add fuel to the fire from behind at this time, this area might really fall into civil strife.
"In the past two years, radical forces within Cadia have expanded rapidly, and fewer and fewer people are willing to maintain the status quo of peace with the Empire. And now the Marquis's 'accidental' death has given them an opportunity."
"[Big Changes] and [Unexpected Events]? Heh, it seems that my father and brother are being missed by many people."
No matter how powerful the Kingdom of Cardia was, it was impossible for it to foresee such an accident - unless the plane crash that killed the Marquis's entire family was not an accident from the beginning.
——Someone inside the empire is secretly colluding with Cadia and plans to jointly sell this land.
"The Sulin Chamber of Commerce of Cardia has contacted you before, right? I have done some research before, and that chamber of commerce is probably one of the core organizations of Cardia's infiltration of the empire."
"Let's not talk about that for now... Why did you tell me this? For mercenaries like you, this kind of shameful mission should make a lot of money, right?"
"That's true, but you should also know this unspoken rule - if most mercenaries find an opportunity to make money that is three times more than their salary, they will most likely betray their original employer."
"Do you think I can afford so much money?"
Aarons didn't know what he had that was worth paying attention to, but since the mercenary leader chose to reveal all the information about his employer, he must have found some opportunity to make money.
"If you are really as dull and incompetent as the outside world says, then I would not place my bet on you. I believe you can overcome the current difficulties, regain control of this territory and thwart Cadia's plan."
"What if I fail?"
"Hahahaha - if you fail, I will of course continue to complete my mission."
This guy is really capable of doing this kind of thing.
In the chaos that could break out at any time, a group of powerful mercenaries could create a huge wave no matter which side they joined.
"Oh, it seems that Master Ben still needs to work harder."
The value of this information is indeed very valuable, so the other party will test me again and again.
After understanding this, Aarons no longer held a grudge against what had just been said.
"I will stay here until you are summoned by the emperor. After that, I will go back to Collins to make arrangements for the families of the members of the group."
If the land really fell into chaos, war among the three kingdoms would be inevitable.
Neither Cadia nor Collins can escape the empire's revenge. And it is probably difficult for this prosperous and fertile land to regain its current peace.
"Very good, then during this period of time, let me continue to use your power."
"Of course, what I said before is still valid. If you judge that the lives of the two young ladies or the children in the family are in danger, I am willing to provide them with shelter."
This is not really necessary - after all, even if he died, Karin and Xia Ye probably wouldn't be in any danger.
……
Shortly after Kuran left, Karin and Xia Ye returned to the Marquis's Mansion.
In order to confirm whether his decision was wrong, Aarons repeated to them everything Kuran had said.
However, when she asked them if they wanted to join the other party, Karin slapped a strange piece of paper in front of Aarons with a slightly annoyed look on her face.
"If you still don't trust me enough, please sign the contract with me again!"
"Wait, what is this... a slave contract? Hey, is there something wrong with your brain?!"
"Ms. Karin and I went to the black market today and found this blank contract. Of course, we stole it from a slave trader after beating him half to death."
Well done... You stole this thing just to sell yourself again!
"...Master, the wealth you gave up to save me is something I could never repay even if I spent the rest of my life. So I thought I could at least use something like this...to prove that I will never let you down."
——Carrying the life of another person is indeed a heavy task for Aarons, who had no experience in his previous life.
However, since I have to continue to move forward as a noble lord, such things will inevitably happen many times in the future.
"Okay, I accept your loyalty."
