Chapter 22 Choice
The personal arrival of the two imperial earls announced the official end of the turmoil in the Bruce family.The Franciscoli family has no confidence or hope to resist.Even the biggest backer is on the enemy's side, how can this battle be fought?
Of course, Anthony will not really destroy or annex the Franciscoli family.Earl Bearzot made a gesture to save himself.If you don't know how to advance or retreat, and make unreasonable demands, it will be shameless.

The power of a viscount, and the largest power in the county, is not a chess piece that can be discarded at will, even for Earl Bearzot.

In the end, apart from an apology, the Franciscoli family paid enough financial compensation, and the matter was considered over.Like Anthony said, eat mine and spit me out twice as much.

After a few days, the aftermath of the incident gradually subsided.Members of Bruce's main family were also released and came to the town.The property that originally belonged to the Bruce family was handed over again, and the property as compensation was also transferred.Under the eyes of the two counts, the Franciscoli family did not dare to play any tricks, and all affairs were completed as quickly as possible.

During this period of time, the two counts of the empire lived in Anthony's house, and usually chatted with Anthony everywhere, or wandered around.After Owen, in just a few days, Anthony became a tour guide again.

Finally, everything is settled.

Except for one thing, one thing that is very important to the two earls...

On the small balcony on the second floor, Anthony, Count Bearzot, Owen and his son sat and chatted relaxedly as usual.

Anthony said: "Everyone should have heard about my past. It is said that the name of 'double useless firewood' has spread to the county. Fortunately, on the eve of the adult assessment, I suddenly awakened the blood inheritance, and I passed the assessment. Otherwise, the title of this lord will not be kept."

Earl Bearzot smiled and said: "Mr. Anthony has accumulated a lot of money, and if he doesn't make a name for himself, he will become a blockbuster. If you are less than 17 years old, you will have the strength of a silver fighter. At this age, with this kind of entry, if you look at the entire empire, you may not be able to find it." Not a few. Mr. Alfredo has been full of praise for you since the last time he played against you."

Earl Silvio also echoed: "Yes, brother, your blood inheritance is really amazing." Then the subject changed, "However, Earl Bearzot, Mr. Alfredo of your family will treat Brother Anthony Full of praise? Impossible, he has never had a good face towards young juniors."

Earl Bearzot said quickly: "It may be impossible for other young people, but how can others be compared with Mr. Anthony."

This kind of mutual dismantling has been staged many times in the past, and everyone is used to it.

Anthony didn't take it seriously, waved his hands, and said, "I know the feelings of the two earls very well. I would like to thank you for your kindness to me. I have been living in this small town all my life. Hengling City. A good man has ambitions everywhere, and I have long wanted to go out for a walk and have a look. The capital city of our Edinburgh province is also what I want to go to."

The two earls knew that whether the efforts they had made during this period of time could be turned into results would be revealed at this moment.They all held their breath, waiting for the next one.

Anthony continued: "The families of the two earls are both in the provincial capital, so they will inevitably bother them. However, I have also accepted a task in the mercenary guild to protect Viscount Owen. Therefore, it is more convenient to live in the Hilton family. Please forgive Earl Bearzot on this point."

Earl Silvio and his son were happy, and if the occasion wasn't right, they would have clapped their hands in celebration.Count Bearzot's face was pale and frustrated.

Anthony apologized to Earl Bearzot and said: "I know that Earl Bearzot has a very high reputation and influence in the county, so I have an unfeeling request. I hope the Earl can take care of my Bruce family at ordinary times. One or two, don't let them be bullied."

Earl Bearzot's face looked better now, he patted his chest, and said loudly: "Don't worry, Mr. Anthony, your people will be my people from now on. As long as I'm here, things like this will never happen again .”

Earl Bearzot knew very well that he had failed in this battle for talent.Anthony is just stepping himself down.After this incident, no one in the county would dare to trouble the Bruce family.The so-called Zhao Fu Yunyun is just a nice way of saying it.

However, this incident can be regarded as a good relationship for the other party.Being able to get the goodwill of a high-level professional, or even a top powerhouse in the future, is not in vain for the hard work I have put in during this period of time.

Earl Silvio was in a good mood, and he was also cheering from the side: "Yes, with the prestige of Earl Bearzot, those young people are not far away, so how dare they make trouble."

Many big events in this world are nothing more than the result of gossiping among the big shots at the top.

Now that Anthony has made a decision, Count Bearzot has no need to stay any longer.The next day, he left the town with his entourage and returned to the provincial capital, Edinburgh.

On the morning of the third day, Earl Silvio and Owen and his son also boarded the carriage back to Edinburgh.Along with them, of course, is the solicitation object of this trip, Lord Anthony.

As for the arrangement of the family, it is still the same as when Anthony left last time, and the old housekeeper is fully responsible.As for Bruce's family, there was also no change.

After this incident, everyone saw Anthony's great strength and power.There is no one in the small Bruce family who can compare with him.With such a powerful existence, who else can sit in the position of "patriarch" with peace of mind?What's more, it's the master's lineage with which he has old grudges.

However, Anthony, who is already qualified enough to influence or even decide on the patriarch, did not make such an opinion.

In fact, Anthony has no choice. If there is a suitable candidate, such as his own brother, he will definitely replace the patriarch without pretense.It's a pity that he is the only one left in the branch line.Do you want to find someone on the main line?It might as well let the current patriarch continue to do it.

Thinking about it carefully, looking at the problem from the position of the patriarch of the family, the patriarch is actually not at fault.The conflict between the two veins is actually the most common faction dispute among nobles.The key is that the lineage of the patriarch did not cause substantial harm to Anthony's family, and it is not an irreconcilable conflict.

In the ancient times, there was a great nobleman, powerful minister, and treacherous minister from the once-prominent Ancient Moon Empire on the mainland. He said a sentence that has been infamous for thousands of years: "An upright nobleman is not a qualified nobleman!" Thousands of years, but in private, it is regarded as a classic by the nobles.

Of course, to say a thousand words and ten thousand, if the patriarch hadn't shown kindness to Anthony at the last moment of the family crisis, he would have never expected to be treated so kindly by Anthony.

On the carriage, Anthony was talking with Earl Silvio and his son, the last important conversation before officially entering the Hilton family.
