Chapter 21
Two imperial counts? !
If it was normal, for a small baronial family like Bruce to have something to do with an earl, it would be enough for them to show off excitedly for several days.

But now at this juncture, two imperial earls came over... How could the Bruce family deserve such a "heavy" gift!
In addition to the expected Earl of Bearzot, there is also the Earl of Silvio Hilton who is also from the province of Edinburgh.Although the two earls were smiling and easy-going, they didn't yell and kill as soon as they came up.But isn't that true for nobles, who always maintain a gentleman's elegant demeanor.When ordering to kill, his face was also gentle.

It's just that the surname Hilton seems a little familiar.Have you heard of it somewhere recently?
The patriarch and the old housekeeper glanced at each other, both of them were in the same confusion.

"Father." Owen came out of the crowd, came to the Earl Silvio Hilton, and shouted respectfully.

The patriarch and the old butler looked at each other again, this time with excitement and surprise in their eyes: "My own?"

"Hmm." Earl Silvio Hilton looked majestically at his only son, but didn't speak.But in his heart, he was a little disappointed.

He entrusted Owen with the task of wooing Anthony, hoping that his son would take this opportunity to make great contributions to the family and establish himself as the next patriarch heir in the family.After all, although Owen is his own son, he is almost a sure successor.However, he has a distasteful personality and does not do his job properly. Many people in the clan think that it is not appropriate to entrust him with the position of patriarch.If he can attract a big master to the family, he can eliminate a lot of resistance.

Moreover, Irving and Anthony are not far apart in age.If you can establish a deep personal friendship, you will be a hardcore team member and confidant.In the future, when Anthony grows up, he will be an important talent that the family can rely on as a city.

For such an important and far-reaching matter, I hand it over to Owen to handle it.It is not only a test for him, but also a father's expectation for his son.

Unfortunately, it now appears that Irving screwed things up.Because, he also brought in Count Bearzot.

There is no absolute certainty in recruiting a rising star of the empire like Anthony.But as long as you are willing to work hard and impress the other party with patience and sincerity, you may not have no chance.

This is without external interference.

The sudden addition of Earl Bearzot, a powerful competitor, will inevitably make the recruitment task more difficult and add more variables.

And this situation could have been avoided.With Owen's status as Viscount, coupled with the fame and power of the Hilton family, it is still very sure to suppress the matter within the scope of the small town and county town, and solve the Franciscoli family.That Baron Helesandro should never have brought the matter to Count Bearzot.

But Owen didn't stop it, and even condoned it a bit.

Although, he also informed himself of what happened and the reasons for doing so.But Earl Silvio did not agree with the reasons he said.Therefore, he rushed over in a hurry and took care of the matter himself.

His arrival also meant that Owen's assessment had failed.Although it is not enough to lose the qualification of heir, there is no doubt that in his father's heart, he has been deducted points.

Owen is also well aware of this.But he just stood behind his father, even maintaining a faint smile on his face.

Anthony also stepped forward and greeted the two counts: "Count Silvio, Count Bearzot, we meet again."

Count Silvio said with a smile on his face, "Yes, Brother Anthony, we meet again."

Earl Bearzot had a guilty and angry expression: "Mr. Anthony, I'm sorry. This time I didn't discipline the people below and caused you trouble. I have brought the patriarch of the Franciscoli family Now, how to deal with it, you have the final say. I have nothing to say!"

He waved his hand back, and two samurai escorted a man in his fifties and walked up.

The patriarch and the old steward behind Anthony saw that it was the patriarch of the Franciscoli family.

Both of them were so shocked that they were a little numb.What happened today was beyond their imagination, and the scene before them was something they couldn't even dream of.

Anthony rushed like a rocket with force, and got to know the young Viscount Owen, which was enough for them to be pleasantly surprised.Now it seems that he has a lot to do with the two earls.Moreover, both earls treated him with unreasonable politeness.To put it bluntly, it already feels a little flattering.But in the public, the two imperial counts didn't feel any embarrassment at all.In the eyes of an old fox like the patriarch, they may even be deliberately letting everyone see their attitude.

What was it about Antony that made the two imperial counts so nakedly court him?

As for the threat of the Franciscoli family, there is no need to think about it now.

The patriarch and the old butler remembered what Owen said last time: "Baron Helesandro, don't blame me for not reminding you. If you offend Anthony, Earl Bearzot will no longer be your backer."

It turned out that they knew it a long time ago, no wonder Anthony was not worried at all.It's nothing to worry about waiting for others.

The Franciscoli family knelt on the ground, lowered their heads, and their faces were full of panic.

He can't help being afraid.Anyone who is not blind can see the attitude of the two imperial counts.And the person they deliberately showed favor to, the lord boy, was the one he ordered to kill.The family definitely kicked the iron plate this time, and it was a big red-hot iron plate.

However, he was wronged!Up to now, he still doesn't know what the origin of this lord boy is.He didn't even know how to die, the patriarch really didn't want to die.

He still remembers the scene when he took his son to see the earl...

"Lord Earl, you have to decide for us! You see, Helesandro has been beaten like this." The patriarch cried to Earl Bearzot.

Earl Bearzot was really furious: "Who is so bold that he even dares to fight my people? Didn't you report my name?"

Jose Sandro clutched his chest, and said with difficulty: "Master Earl, I have explained that I am doing things for you. But the other party didn't care at all, and laughed wantonly."

"Come on, please invite Mr. Alfredo over here. I want to see for myself who is sacred over there." Jolesandro is a bronze intermediate, and he also lost in one move.It seems that Alfredo, the silver fighter, is the only one who can hold the scene.

Helesandro knew the count's most powerful man, and he was overjoyed.Still not forgetting to flatter: "With Mr. Alfredo's shot, that Anthony will definitely be caught. This time, let's see how this kid can escape from the earl's palm. Hmph, how dare a little lord..."

Hearing the word "Anthony", the earl couldn't help being taken aback.This name is so familiar!And it seems to be a very important name.Just as he was thinking hard, he suddenly heard "little lord" again, and the count immediately thought of who this person was.

"That Anthony, what's his last name? Is it Bruce?" The Earl rushed to Jose Sandro and asked loudly.

"Yes, yes." Jolesandro was taken aback by the count, and could only subconsciously answer the count's question.

After getting an affirmative answer, the count was furious, and shouted to the door: "Come on!"

Four warriors rushed in.

The count pointed to the Helesandro and his son, and said, "Take these two guys down for me."

While at a loss, who didn't know what he did wrong, Helesandro and the two were caught without a fight, while the count was muttering to himself.They didn't see that the Earl, who was furious just now, had an excited smile on his lips.

"I thought I had no chance, but I didn't expect these two idiots to create such an excellent opportunity for me. However, I can't reward you for this credit, and I have to trouble you to make sacrifices to appease that boy anger."

The Earl became more and more excited as he thought about it, and he got up and walked out, while ordering loudly: "Prepare the horse, let the chief guard lead people to follow. Also, remember to bring those two unlucky bastards with you."

Two unlucky eggs must be brought.

Of course, Alfredo, the silver fighter, doesn't have to.
