The hero I support will definitely defeat the devil

As a friend since childhood, Vaughan was well aware of Fred's talents.

I also know that he actually doesn't like life in the palace.

If it weren't for Festa's death, Fred would probably have just faked his own death and escaped, then changed his appearance and became an ordinary adventurer.

The rotten old man had no idea what kind of monster he had awakened.

In the end, where are these great nobles who are said to have the emperor to look at their faces?

Maybe you can only see it in books.

After all, there is no place for them in the current Patra Empire.

"Heh~ Now that I think about it, I was a little impulsive. After all, I was still young. If I had taken advantage of it a little bit, maybe I could have gained more."

For some reason, Fred became somewhat nostalgic.

"Your Majesty, you..."

Vaughn seemed to have noticed something and his tone became serious.

"Vaughn, there are some things that we will do even if we know they are wrong, right?"

Fred never regretted his actions.

Because he knew that only in this way could his plan be implemented smoothly.

But he still neglected it.

No, it should be said that he underestimated the bottom line of those guys at that time.

"She actually knew what I wanted to do, but she still gave me her support silently. Phoebe's messy conspiracies, but she knew that everything I did would make the empire better."

"But I couldn't protect her."

Fred's eyes gradually turned cold.

"Those guys are willing to do anything to gain the power and status they hold."

"My former prime minister, do you think I can completely wipe them out now?"

"Your Majesty, if you want to do this, I will support you."

Vaughn moved his lips twice, but in the end he didn't say no.

He couldn't refuse.

As a friend, he couldn't refuse the other person's words.

As a subject, he could not refuse an angry emperor.

More importantly, he is no longer the young man who just started out.

The bastard of aristocracy who was once looked down upon is now the head of the Duke's family. He needs to consider more for his family.

"Besides you, how many people will support me?"

Fred paused.

"...About 70% of the nobles will support you."

Vaughan thought for a moment before giving his answer.

"It seems that my support for the upstarts has been quite effective."

A cold smile appeared on Fred's face.

"Within three months, I want to see their heads fall off."

Cruel words came out of Fred's mouth.

"Your will."

Vaughan bowed his head and answered respectfully.

"very good."

Fred was very satisfied with Vaughan's statement.

"Vaughn, I hope that we won't come to blows, do you understand?"

"The Const family will always be your Majesty's most loyal supporters!"

Vaughn said this heavily, almost as if he was swearing.

"Step back now. Go to the treasury and get a treasure for your granddaughter. She has worked hard this time."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

Vaughan left the royal family gratefully.

Fred turned around and watched Vaughn's departing back silently.

"You called me here just to let me watch this kind of drama of harmony between the king and his subjects?"

A handsome man in a white cloak appeared in the pavilion of the royal garden, carrying a bottle of wine.

Faced with such a sudden appearance of an unknown person, the guards hidden around did not react at all, as if they saw nothing.

“I’ve known Vaughn for years.”

Fred suddenly spoke up.

"so what?"

The handsome man sneered.

"Didn't you kill enough friends back then?"

"Vaughn is different from them."

Fred went inside the gazebo and sat down.

"Give me a bottle too."

"Heh~ what's the difference?"

The handsome man took out another bottle of wine and placed it on the polished stone table.

"Vaughn is a companion."

Fred uncorked the bottle and took a swig of the wine.

It was strong, but very much to his liking.

"I will not attack my companions."

"Am I your companion then?"

The handsome man asked curiously.

"Calculate."

Fred answered without hesitation.

His tone was sincere.

"I really got you."

The handsome man held his forehead and sighed.

"It is better not to say such words, my Lord."

"I am the emperor."

Fred continued to pour wine into his mouth.

The reason is simple, but irrefutable.

Chapter 250: No Difference

"Great, a reason I can't argue with."

The handsome man slammed the bottle of wine on the table with a smile. He thought that maybe the reward could be a little bit more.

"How about giving me some more support?"

"I've given you enough."

Fred squinted his eyes and his posture was a little casual, looking as if he was a little drunk.

"And there are so many nobles supporting you. Isn't that enough?"

"It's not enough. You don't know how hard my life is."

As soon as the handsome man heard this, he started to complain, as if to say, "I'm so miserable now that I can't survive if you don't help me."

"You think I don't know what you've done?"

Fred spoke in a bad tone, staring at the handsome man.

"Did half of those supplies, gold coins and treasures end up in the Assassin's Guild?"

"Of course, 70%."

The handsome man covered his mouth with a look of regret as soon as he finished speaking.

"Seventy percent? It seems that you have changed your mind and only took thirty percent?"

Fred's eyes became sharp.

"Well, you can't leave me without any compensation, I have to make a living too."

The handsome man said with a wry smile.

"Of the remaining 70%, will you, as the president of the Assassin's Guild, take 30%?"

Fred's words made the handsome man dare not answer, he just turned his head and looked at the sky.

Thirty percent of the seven percent plus the initial thirty percent is more than fifty percent. It can only be said that what Fred said was absolutely correct.

"That's what you said."

The handsome man muttered, not daring to refute at all.

"Anyway, I have completed the mission."

"Are you referring to the fact that we used this mission to eliminate the most promising and strongest Gold Rank in the Assassin's Guild?"

Fred knew exactly what the handsome man was thinking.

"I'll have to find a mission to complete sooner or later anyway, so isn't it better to do it sooner rather than later?"

The handsome man said with a grin.

The Assassins' Guild can grow, but it must not exceed a certain size.

The size of this scale was determined by the emperor.

As stated at the beginning, the Assassins Guild survives only because of the nobles and those in the shadows.

The emperor of the empire is the greatest nobleman.

However, the nobles below did not know that the Assassin's Guild was controlled by the emperor.

Any assassination mission against nobles and ministers will be reported to Fred.

In the end, it is up to Fred to decide whether the mission is a success or a failure.

The reason why Fred can now gain the support of so many nobles is naturally because the nobles who opposed him have died or switched to his camp.

"The Assassin's Guild doesn't need instability."

Randy is indeed a genius, so the handsome man has to rely on others to get rid of him.

That gold-level assassin is also the closest to gem-level combat power in the Assassin's Guild, and this is exactly why he must be eliminated.

The Assassin's Guild only needs three Gem-level players, and no more are needed.

Whenever the number of gem-level members in the Assassin's Guild exceeds three, they will always die due to accidents within one to two years, and they are real accidents. At least the assassins cannot see any flaws.

After all, as an assassin, it is normal to fail when faced with difficult tasks.

The higher the strength, the more difficult the task will be and the greater the possibility of failure. This is a very normal thing.

"Humph~"
