Although it is a bit shabby, this heroic spirit is super strong

This girl, who was only a few years older than Xiao and the others, felt more and more embarrassed the more she thought about the tights that Xiao could emphasize.

"Sister Annie? Are you okay?"

Seeing Annie suddenly start to shyly use her cloak to cover her body, Xiao couldn't help laughing.

"no no!"

"Pfft, that's good."

"Brother Xiao!"

"Stop making trouble. Sister Annie, could you and Dora stay here tonight to guard against Morpheus? I plan to complete the commission from the Regs as soon as possible."

Although Dora's strength is superior to Annie's, Xiao is still not reassured.

Due to the characteristics of the Dora Ymir elves, the losses in battle are extremely great.

Even though a considerable amount of time had passed since the battle with Pierre, Dora still had not recovered from the damage incurred at that time.

"My mission is to protect you, so just leave it to me."

"Brother Xiao, we are fine, okay..."

Rose was somewhat unhappy about this unilateral protection plan for them.

"Don't worry, I don't plan on leaving you idle tonight. So look forward to it."

Chapter 121 Morpheus's Plan

"I didn't expect Mr. Morpheus to be the Prime Minister's subordinate. How disrespectful."

Facing Earl Wyatt, the fat and pig-headed man who extended his hand, Morpheus smiled and ignored it.

The other party had no respect at all, and treated him as nothing more than a guard dog for Adolf. Even the easygoing Morpheus was a little angry.

He didn't intend to let Huayate feel that his show of power was of any use.

"Actually, my visit to Wyatt this time wasn't about the Earl's private affairs. So there's no need for you to be so nervous."

Seeing the other party frown and retract his hand, Morpheus spoke again.

"What are you talking about? How could a person as upright as me do something shameful?"

"Yes, sorry for the inconvenience."

Morpheus chuckled in his heart, thinking that the stupid pig head in front of him was very funny.

The Wyatt family was once known as the Hobbs family's loyal lackeys, but unfortunately their master is now dead in name only.

While attending the engagement party of the second prince in the capital of Yuliana, Wyatt bribed the knights of the Elvira Kingdom.

The two sides conspired to destroy the spacecraft's power system over Wyatt Territory, the only way back to the kingdom, forcing Yuliana to make an emergency landing in Wyatt Territory.

Wyatt took this opportunity to place the foreign princess under house arrest, intending to force her to marry his son.

He wanted to use this to gain bargaining chips with the kingdom and the Montgomery faction to change the current situation of his family being isolated after the decline of the Hobbes family.

Although Wyatt's plan itself surprised Morpheus, he still had great contempt for this self-righteous fool.

(Does this guy think that his plan went smoothly because of his own intelligence?)

The real mastermind behind the scenes felt very happy looking at his puppet.

"The reason we came to Wyatt Territory this time is actually because of this person."

Morpheus put his thoughts aside and pushed a magic photo in front of Wyatt.

"The Fire Phoenix Hero... I didn't expect the Prime Minister to believe in such a ridiculous legend."

Although Wyatt said he didn't care, his eyes were full of greed.

The legend they were talking about was not the story of Vanessa and the Phoenix that was circulating in Pier El.

It refers to her son, Frege Alfre, the most famous blood hero emperor in the history of the empire, and also the second contractor of the Fire Phoenix.

Crystal, who has hair color similar to Frege and is also a Fire Phoenix Contractor, has been regarded as a descendant of the emperor by most people in the empire after the Battle of Pier El.

Now that the imperial selection mechanism has completely spiraled out of control, the descendants of the Hero Emperor have taken on a different meaning for the ambitious nobles of the empire.

For example, if the Montgomery family controlled Crystal and forced her to marry the eldest prince under their control, then the battle for the emperor's selection would basically end with their victory.

Even an insignificant noble like Wyatt, if he obtained the bloodline of the so-called Hero Emperor, would have a high chance of rising to prominence immediately and easily get rid of the label of a local noble.

"The Prime Minister doesn't care about that kind of legend, but..."

"Just? Mr. Morpheus came to me, wanting my help?"

Seeing that Morpheus deliberately left his words halfway, Wyatt seemed a little impatient.

"Well, of course we will also provide you with a reward that satisfies you."

A contract was pushed in front of Wyatt.

"We will provide a reward of 625 million gold coins, repayable to Earl Wyatt over ten years. Each annual repayment will also carry 10% interest on the remaining balance.

Of course, after this collaboration, Earl Wyatt will be our partner.”

"Companion?... That's a really delightful word."

After reviewing the specific terms of the contract, Wyatt smiled and took out his quill.

(He's trying to pretend to be elegant with this retro style. This guy is really unpleasant in every sense of the word.)

In this era, no one uses inconvenient tools like quill pens anymore.

Morpheus smiled as he watched Wyatt sign the contract.

*

After leaving Wyatt's manor, the servants around Morpheus took off their heavy masks.

Marianne also took off the scarf on her head and let her hair fall down.

"As expected of brothers, you're both equally disgusting."

"Miss Marian, isn't it a bit inappropriate to comment on your own uncle like this?"

Seeing the young beauty's expression twisted with disgust, Morpheus couldn't help but laugh.

The current Earl of Wyatt is a half-brother of Marian's father.

The funny thing is that the two brothers didn't know about this matter. Instead, it was Marian who first dug out this forgotten thing from her grandmother's belongings.

"What's wrong with that kind of person? But little brother Morpheus, you are really bad enough."

"Miss Marianne, who already knows my general plan, isn't in a better position, is she? Have you already accomplished what I asked you to do?"

"Well, his idiot son already knows that Yuliana and Xiao are together. I'm sure he'll know the news soon too."

Morpheus knew very well that Wyatt was the type whose greedy desires were not commensurate with his strength.

He would never be satisfied with the small reward he offered.

That's why he deliberately revealed all the news about Crystal and Yuliana to Wyatt, letting him provoke Akatsuki and commit suicide.

"But I have something to say, Miss Marian, which may not please you. Sakurai Xiao is not a man you can control."

Morpheus still had that unreal smile on his face as he made his next move to Marian.

"It's really making me unhappy. What's the reason?"

"If I had to say, it's my intuition, right?"

"Then don't worry. After all, women have a very accurate sixth sense, and you don't have that, little brother Morpheus."

"That's true, but Miss Marianne, please be careful. I'm quite fond of you."

"I love hearing that. Are you interested in going out with me tonight? I can show a young boy like you the beauty of the world."

"Forget it then. After all, I don't want to be eaten by Miss Ogre."

Morpheus politely pushed away Marian's arm.

"I don't like that name."

"Besides, do you have anything else to do tonight? Miss Marian's escort tonight is not me, but Mr. Xiao, the man you like."

"That's true. What a pity. I hope we can get to know each other better in the future."

"I hope so..."

Morpheus looked at Marian with a regretful expression and could only smile awkwardly.

This was the first time he felt fear.

It had nothing to do with the strength of the person. The feeling of being stared at by a ferocious predator made him instinctively feel a little scared.

(But that's fine too, as this kind of trouble can be passed on to the troublemaker.)

Chapter 122 The trio who are determined to lose money

"Although Xiao-nii's request is quite gratifying, why is it like this?"

Rose was dressed in an exquisite pure white suit, looking like a beautiful young man.

Tonight she will replace Xiao as the flower protector for the other two.

After all, the appearance of three beautiful girls on Michel Street, which is lined with brothels, could easily lead to unnecessary trouble even on East Street, which is mainly occupied by casinos.

Beside her, Crystal and Lucy were wearing very luxurious and sexy dresses, holding her arms.

"Rose's handsome outfit makes me feel a little moved."

"It's a pity that I don't have the tools to satisfy you, sister, tonight."

"Idiot! What are you saying all of a sudden?"

Lucy originally wanted to tease Rose because she was unhappy with her dressing up as a man.

However, before he could say a few words, his sister took the initiative to reverse the situation.

"But, Rose, you look really handsome in this outfit... but there's something a little off about it. It feels very seductive."

"Hey, Crystal sister also has some strange thoughts about me... Otherwise, we can find someplace else to play and not drag Xiao brother along tonight."

Rose teased the two of them with a wicked smile.

"Um... I don't know how we..."

Lucy almost said something strange, but quickly shut her mouth.

"Don't worry, I learned my skills from Brother Xiao. I also asked Wendy about the shop that sells those small props."

"Then let's go buy some props first."

"Eh?! Sister Crystal, I..."

Crystal's answer was beyond Rose's expectations and caught her off guard.

"Rose-chan, you're not going to say you were joking at this point, are you? I'm really looking forward to it, onee-san."

Crystal smiled and hugged Rose's slender arms tighter.

“Um, um…” (There’s no store here that sells that kind of stuff…)

"Hey, stop messing around, you two. We're already there."

Lucy helplessly interrupted Crystal, who was also gradually becoming dishonest.

His originally innocent and lovely sister has been completely led astray by Xiao, and now even the serious Crystal has fallen victim to his evil hands.

The girl feels a little worried about her future...and perhaps a little excited.

"Let's have fun tonight and lose some money. Of course, I'll be Xiao's personal protector."

"Losing money, that kind of thing is not pleasant no matter how you think about it."

Tonight, the three of them came to the casino run by Byron specifically to pay off their debts.

Anne has confirmed that Byron and the Wyatt family did not cooperate in the plan to capture Crystal.

So Xiao wanted to use the Wyatt Family to completely destroy Byron and the Green-Headed Snake.

The person that both parties particularly want is the best bait to create conflict.
