Chapter 68 Conspiracy
The caravan turned into the intersection in front of the Dashilton family, and all the members of the family could be seen from a distance waiting at the gate of the mansion, queuing up to welcome the return of the caravan.

The two leaders standing at the front were Count Silvio and Elder Andres.

Seeing the convoy, the crowd immediately boiled.While cheering, the entire queue moved towards this side.

Earl Silvio bowed to Anthony: "Mr. Anthony, on behalf of the entire Hilton family, I solemnly express my gratitude to you for everything you have done for the Hilton family."

Anthony quickly helped the earl up: "The patriarch is too serious. In his position, I am just completing the tasks within my duties. There is no need for the patriarch to do such a big gift."

Count Silvio looked at Owen, patted him on the shoulder, but didn't say anything.

It was just the joy and relief in those eyes that made Owen, who hadn't been affirmed by his father for a long time, very excited.

Elder Andres also came up, looked at Anthony left and right, and said, "I can't tell, you little guy is very capable, you did a good job!"

He said reluctantly: "It's a little bit stronger than me."

The old guy has a straightforward personality, but he speaks rudely and outspokenly, which Anthony has long known.Although he yelled "Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu" just because he was used to it, it had no other meaning, so of course he wouldn't bother with him.

Earl Silvio took a step back suddenly, and bowed deeply again: "I, Silvio, on behalf of the Hilton family, hereby express my sincerest apologies to Mr. Anthony. This time my Hilton family's intelligence work appeared A major mistake put Mr. Anthony in a dangerous situation. Fortunately, Mr. was brave enough to save the day and subdue the four bandits. Otherwise, even if the crisis of the Hilton family is relieved, we will not be able to feel at ease for the rest of our lives."

Anthony quickly helped him up again: "The patriarch doesn't need to worry about this matter. Even if the information is wrong and the difficulty of the subsequent missions increases, it is my own decision to continue the mission. I can't blame others. What's more, Brother Owen also persuaded me to give up the plan at that time, yes I insisted on going my own way and insisted on taking action, but I put Brother Owen in danger."

The count cast a glance at his son next to him, and said, "Mister, you are being polite. It is his blessing to be able to work and study with him, and no one else can ask for it. Besides, this is a matter of my Hilton family, and you will not hesitate to pay for it." It's dangerous, and Gouzi, as a direct descendant of the Hilton family, can't shrink back and avoid it instead."

Andres interjected from the side: "Okay, okay, you guys don't pay homage here, go in and talk."

"Alright." The Earl nodded and agreed with a smile.

Inside the mansion, a feast of celebration has already been prepared to welcome the return of the family warriors.

And every member of the caravan was warmly praised by everyone.The admiring eyes and words of approval made the members who returned from the long trip feel a little bit elated.

……

The lights are feasting, and the swallows are singing.

There are beauties with outstanding looks and sexy clothes, and rich businessmen and aristocrats with rich clothes and rich clothes.

This is a very famous place for fireworks in Edinburgh.

As a high-end entertainment venue, there are naturally some quiet, elegant and undisturbed hidden places to entertain some dignitaries with noble status and who do not hesitate to spend money.

Of course, in addition to having fun, these places are also ideal places for secret conversations.

"The Hilton family announced two days ago that they have reached an agreement with the bandit leaders on the commercial road, allowing them to safely pass through the commercial road between Edinburgh and Krakow County." A chunky middle-aged man said in a deep voice.

A tall man said anxiously: "The news I heard is worse than this. It is said that they have actually subdued the most powerful bandit leaders in those bandits. Now, that business road is equivalent to the private territory of the Hilton family. .”

The last person in the secret room was a bald old man.

"Is it interesting for you to say this now? In any case, Hilton escaped a disaster this time. Marquis Socrates' plan may go bankrupt. Moreover, judging by the momentum, it may turn around and bite us hard Take a bite."

The short and fat man asked angrily: "Then tell me, what should we do now?"

The tall man also turned to look at him with a look of hope.

The bald man didn't seem to be in a hurry, took a sip of tea in a leisurely manner, picked up the teapot, and filled up the tea for the other two and himself.

"Nothing to do." The bald man leaned comfortably on the back of the chair, "It's not me, nor the two of you, who suffered the heaviest and worst losses. There is nothing to worry about. Besides, when the sky falls, there will be tall people Hold on. This matter was initiated by the Marquis, and it is also the Fontaine family who have been in the middle of organizing and scheduling. Lord Marquis is disrespectful."

The tall man said with a bit of dissatisfaction: "Viscount Bain, since the three of you and I are sitting together, we have already demonstrated our sincerity to each other. Everyone should be more honest and don't beat around the bush."

"As soon as the Hilton family puts the special products of Krakow County on the shelves, it means that the noble alliance is almost doomed. The Fontaine family contributed the most and got into the deepest. If the plan is successful, they will naturally get the biggest piece Cake; if the plan fails, huh, huh, they are still in danger, so how can they manage our lives."

"At this time, the Fontaine family is unreliable, and we can only rely on ourselves. The three of you and I met here secretly, originally to keep warm and discuss the future."

"Viscount Bain, we all know that you have the best brain and the most accurate vision. This time, everyone will listen to you, and you will do whatever you say, and we will have nothing to say."

The short, fat, middle-aged man also agreed: "Yes, both of us are looking after you."

The bald man, Viscount Bain, put down his teacup, wiped the corners of his lips, and said unhurriedly, "Okay, since the two lords have asked me to give an idea, let me share my opinion."

"If you want me to say, our response strategy now should be eight words."

"Stand still, wait and see what happens!"

The short and fat man asked anxiously: "The Hilton family is obviously powerful now, and it is only a matter of time before the noble alliance loses. If you withdraw early, you can save a little loss. If you walk slowly, you may be eaten to the bone. "

Viscount Bell said: "A week ago, did everyone think that Hilton still had a chance to stand up? Although the situation of the noble alliance is dangerous now, who dares to say that it will not reverse again? If such a situation really occurs, have you thought about it? How to face the anger of Marquis Socrates?"

The faces of the short, fat, middle-aged man and the tall man changed upon hearing this.

They just saw that the current decline of the aristocratic alliance has come to an end, and they just want to get out earlier than others.But he never thought that if the situation repeats again, then he will become a traitor.Mixed between the noble alliance and the Hilton family, neither side is human.

The tall man muttered to himself, "Are you just watching like this?"

"It can only be like this. Sometimes, it is much wiser to not move than to move randomly." Viscount Bain sighed.

"Well, if you don't want to move, then we won't move. We just said that we will only follow your lead." The short and fat man gritted his teeth and said helplessly.

"However, this situation should not last long." Viscount Bain changed his tone, "It is said that the Fontaine family is organizing a caravan, and they also want to break into the 'special' business road of the Hilton family."

The eyes of the tall man and the short fat man brightened.

This Viscount Bain is indeed very shrewd, at least he has a wider source of information than the two of them.

"Then us?"

"Stand still, wait and see what happens!" Viscount Bain still had these eight words.

"If that business path was really that easy to break through, it would have been opened up more than ten years ago. Whether the Hilton family bought it with money or with fists, I think there is an element of luck. The Fontaine family wants to replicate this kind of business. The method is difficult. Anyway, I am not optimistic about their action."

"If they are acting alone, we will watch from the sidelines; if they want to pull us together, our countermeasure is: push if you can, and delay if you can support. At this time, the Fontaine family is more exhausted than any of us. Sorry."

The other two men looked at each other and nodded heavily.

Under the darkness of night, in the bustling city of Edinburgh, I don't know how many distinguished nobles, just like these three men, discussing and plotting...
