The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 345 Carlo: Is this how you negotiate?
Upon hearing this, Carlo immediately glared at Lynn.

Lin En also looked at him without showing any weakness.

After a few seconds, Carlo took the initiative to look away.

"You said you were from Toussaint. How come you know more about Novigrad than the locals?"

Lin En smiled and said, "Since I chose to do business in Novigrad, it's natural that I can't be completely ignorant."

"Not only do I know there's a conflict between you two, I also know that Hawthorne I has always been a self-righteous man. He relies on his status as the most powerful gangster in the city to not take you, Lord Carlo, and the Razor Gang seriously. He calls them the three major gangs, but in reality, he's just dying to ride on your necks."

Carlo fell silent.

But the expression on his face clearly said: Is this how you negotiate?
The atmosphere in the yard suddenly became solemn.

After a while, he slowly spoke.

"I don't care what you do to that old fellow Hawthorne I, but don't expect me to take the lead for you. I can only promise that you two will fight each other, and I won't help either of you."

"Okay, is that settled?" Lynn raised his fist.

Carlo also raised his fist and bumped it with Lynn.

He thought about it and said again.

"However, it's useless to convince me alone. You also have to convince the Razor Party to remain neutral. Only then can you always face only Hawthorne I as your enemy."

Carlo hesitated, then continued.

"Those guys from the Razor Party actually have no conflicts with you. They all came from the poor masses. As long as you can prove that you are the protector of the poor, they will not become your enemy. But I think this is not a difficult task for you."

Lynn blinked.

Then he realized that it was Machete who took the initiative to reveal the information to him.

Of course, the syndicate also collected this information, but Carlo's actions undoubtedly showed his attitude.

Then, after leaving Carlo's territory, Lynn and others went straight to the Razor Gang's territory.

The meeting with the Razor Party went better than expected.

Obviously, the three major gangs in Novigrad are not vegetarians.

As Dudu expanded his business and attracted the attention of Hawthorne I, the other two major gangs also found out that Baron Brandon of Toussaint was Dudu's backer.

Since then, the Razor Gang has been prepared to be found.

When Lynn stated that he had no intention of going to war with the Razor Party and only wanted to target Hawthorne I, and that everyone had the same ideals and goals...

The Razor Gang also agreed to a non-aggression agreement with Lynn.

Walking out of the Razor Gang's base disguised as a restaurant, Lin En smiled at Roche and Reso behind him and said, "Next, we should go meet that son of a bitch."

……

after one day.

The sky is overcast.

Heavy rain fell from the sky.

The road was deserted, with no pedestrians in sight, only the sound of rain.

At the gate of Willy's Manor, three guards armed with swords hid under the eaves to avoid the rain and chatted idly out of boredom.

As they chatted, the topic quickly turned to which brothel was more cost-effective.

Just as they were talking more and more excitedly, a carriage suddenly came into their sight.

The raindrops as big as beans hit the carriage with a crisp sound. The wheels rolled over the cobblestone road, splashing the water in the gaps between the slabs, and finally stopped on the road outside the manor gate.

Two men in raincoats jumped out from the front of the carriage, walked to the side of the carriage, opened the door, and held an umbrella for the young man in the carriage.

He has black hair, blue eyes, a tall figure, and is handsome and elegant. The elegant and noble brocade clothes he wears further highlight his aristocratic temperament.

Seeing the three people walking towards the gate, the guard who was hiding from the rain under the eaves couldn't help but panic.

The main reason was the young man's temperament and attire, which made it clear he was no ordinary person, which made the guards hesitate to offend him. It wasn't until the three of them approached, getting closer and closer, that the guards were forced to bite the bullet and stop them.

"Wait, who are you and what are you doing here... Did you ask someone to deliver a visiting letter beforehand?"

"Go and inform your owner," Lynn said, using the transformed appearance of the Amulet of Deception. "Tell them that Baron Brandon of Toussaint is visiting."

"Baron Brandon?"

Although he was just a small guard, working for Hawthorne I, how could he not know the name of the man his boss was going to deal with recently?

I didn't expect that the other party would come to me in person.

And he only brought two followers with him.

The three guards exchanged glances.

One of the guards knocked on the door behind them.

A long window was opened on the door.

The guard informed the people inside of Lynn's purpose.

The small window was pulled up again, and the sound of receding footsteps mixed with the sound of rain.

"Well...well," the guard said, a little embarrassed. "How about you and your followers take shelter under the eaves here? There's always room if we squeeze in."

Even though he knew that the person in front of him was the one his boss wanted to deal with, since the other party had come to his door, with his limited knowledge, he might be able to make peace.

This is what the privileged class is like. Even if they are defeated and captured, as long as they still have territory, they will be well-fed and served, waiting to be redeemed.

The nobility is the privileged class in this world.

But Lynn rejected the other party's proposal.

Insist on waiting at the door.

Time passed like this bit by bit.

It was not until more than ten minutes later that footsteps were heard from behind the door.

The door opens to both sides.

Several guards armed with knives and swords appeared behind the door, and one of the guards even politely held an umbrella for an old man.

The old man was wearing a neat butler's suit, his silver hair was curled straight, and he had a monocle on his right eye.

When he saw what was happening outside, he flew into a rage and shouted, "Are you all blind? You're letting our distinguished guests get wet in the rain!"

The three guards at the door looked terrified and hurried to explain, but the old man didn't seem willing to listen to their explanation. He just scolded them a few more times before turning to look at Lin En.

When he turned his face around, the expression on his face instantly changed to one as if he was basking in the spring breeze.

"Your Excellency, I'm sorry to have caused you any discomfort. On behalf of Mr. Willy, I would like to express my sincerest apology."

The old man bent down deeply, and the guard who was holding an umbrella for him also bent down with him. However, perhaps because he didn't do this often, the guard forgot that he was holding an umbrella for someone else, causing the old man's back to be drenched by the heavy rain.

The old man was furious and scolded the guard harshly before he smiled again.

"It seems that some people still need to be disciplined. My apologies, Baron, for making a fool of yourself. Please rest assured that I will definitely teach these ignorant people a lesson."

Lin En didn't care about such a farce. He hummed and asked.

"Now, are you ready to see me, Mr. Willy?"

"Of course. As soon as the Lord heard that it was you, he immediately ordered me to come and greet you. Please follow me."

The old man made an inviting gesture, and the guards who came with him walked to both sides of the gate and made way for them.

"Good work."

Lin En nodded, and followed the old man into the Willy Manor with the other two followers.
