"Slander! Naked slander!"

In the room on the second floor of the hotel, when he heard these words of Francesca from Alexander's mouth, Suso was trembling with anger. However, what made him sad was that his father, Count Fitch, finally passed away.

He suppressed the sadness in his heart, bowed to Alexander, and said, "Thank you, Lord Alexander, for telling me this news."

"So, you admit that you are Alain Suso?"

Alexander asked with interest.

Suso did not refute, but nodded silently.

The room suddenly fell silent.

After a while, Suso calmed down and said: "I am the youngest son of my father. I have two older brothers. One is my second brother. Francis, who you just met, is mainly responsible for the family's trade. The eldest brother

Horst is the clerk of the city hall, serving under Count Bend."

"The second brother has the strongest ability, but the eldest brother has the support of the Bend family and is also the eldest son, so he cannot be underestimated. But since I am the most favored by my father, both of them regard me as a competitor."

Alexander nodded, expressing understanding.

An alien version of the three brothers of the Yuan family.

"But some time ago, my father suddenly became bedridden, and then gave me an order to go with the caravan on the family trade route. I didn't think too much, but within five days of leaving the city, I encountered

During the jackal robbery, the caravan guards didn't even fight with them, so they abandoned the goods and ran away with me. Then, you know the rest."

I see.

"Then do you know who killed Earl Fitch?" Alexander asked.

Suso shook his head sadly, his eyes still red and swollen.

"I don't know, but I think it's probably the second brother Francis."

"Why not Horst?"

Faced with Alexander's question, Suso explained: "I remember my father once told me privately that although Francis was very capable, he was too keen on taking risks. If he won the bet, everything would be easy, but if he lost the bet, then everything would be fine.

The consequences would be a catastrophe for the family. In my father’s opinion, such a radical and adventurous character is not suitable for being the helmsman of a family.”

"Although the eldest brother Horst's ability is not as good as that of the second brother, after years of training in the city hall, he has made great progress in both the city government and his dealings with people. Moreover, he also has the support of the Bend family behind him.

The support of the ruling family is very important for a business family like ours."

Alexander wholeheartedly agreed with Suso's explanation.

Although Suso has a bit of a virgin personality, as a noble child from a family, he still has the necessary vision.

"Why don't you tell me about yourself?"

"I?"

Suso pointed to his nose and asked with a self-deprecating look: "Alexander, do you know why my father loves me so much?"

Alexander shook his head.

"Because I am an illegitimate child just like him."

ha?

Suso's words made Alexander Lei feel very uncomfortable. In the end, he could only sigh silently in his heart, your circle is really in chaos.

"Do you think that the family will let an illegitimate son ascend the throne of the clan leader? In that case, the Allen family will become the laughing stock of Nagesh City!"

In the year of his coming-of-age ceremony, his father, despite the opposition of everyone in the family, allowed himself to inherit the surname Allen and granted himself the title of Viscount. This incident caused an uproar in Nagsh City at the time. Now those in the family

How could the elders allow themselves to become clan leaders?

Alexander knew a little bit about these hidden rules in the aristocratic circle. So when he heard it, he knew that everything Suso said was true.

And the speculations about the mastermind behind the scenes are probably true.

Although he had never been in contact with Horst, in just ten minutes of contact with Francis, Alexander could feel the burning flame called "ambition" in his eyes.

People who are ambitious and powerful are often the hardest to control and the easiest to backstab.

And this kind of person has always been the favorite of the devils.

In terms of cunning, no one can match those devils from the nine hells.

Those who indulge their inner ambitions will eventually be dominated by their ambitions and become the trophies of the devils.

After saying this, Suso seemed to be relieved, and stretched out his hand in front of Alexander like a bachelor.

"Alexander, now you can hand me over to my dear second brother."

"Oh? When did I say that I would hand you over to Francis?"

Suso's attitude immediately stunned Alexander.

"Didn't you just tell me that you agreed..."

"No, no." Alexander stretched out a finger, shook it and said, "It was just now, but after I heard what you said, I changed my mind."

A smile appeared on his face.

"I can't just watch innocent people being wrongly accused. This goes against my conscience."

"Thank you, Lord Alexander, you are a good person."

After hearing this, Su Suo showed a touched look on his face and said with a choked tone.

Good guy? Haha!

For Alexander's master, Richard, his favorite people are those who are powerful but self-aware. When trading with them, you can always get good results.

In Alexander's eyes, Suso is a very good partner.

He is not strong enough, but he is somewhat shrewd but has a clear understanding of himself. Such a person is very easy to control. Moreover, he is also a noble.

"Boss, here are two bottles of rum, with ice! Another grilled lamb chop, add more cumin and chili, and give me two sticks of elf bread!"

Alexander opened the door and shouted towards the bar downstairs.

"okay!"

The hotel owner smiled happily and took the small bag of golden eagle coins thrown down from upstairs. He picked up one and put it in his mouth and bit it gently, with a satisfied look on his face.

This is a huge profit.

The bulk of the profit lies in Elf Bread. Elf Bread, a specialty food of the Elf clan, is a direct-sale product of Everjum Island, the gathering place of elves. It does not accept distribution. As the lightest, sweetest and most delicious food in the Engema plane,

The delicate bread is very expensive. The direct selling price of a loaf of elf bread is as high as 1 golden eagle coin.

However, in the city of Nagsh, only his hotel sells it, so the price is naturally higher, a piece of elf bread costs 3 golden eagle coins.

The purchasing power of Golden Eagle coins is not low. In the main plane of Engema, one Golden Eagle coin can hire a skilled laborer for ten days, or buy a strong goat. 3 Golden Eagle coins are enough to complete a beard and tail.

Bought a boar that had just been slaughtered.

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment, your meal will be ready soon!" The fat halfling boss stood on a stool about the same height as him, first said towards the room where Alexander's room was, and then turned his head

He yelled towards the kitchen.

"Wenger, you guy, don't do anything else first, make this gentleman's roast lamb chops first! Gale, you first send the rum and elf bread to the gentlemen upstairs.

quick!"

The food Alexander ordered was brought out quickly.

The scent of things suddenly spread throughout the room.

Seeing Suso's sad face, Alexander picked up a piece of elf bread and took a bite, then raised a bottle of rum to signal to Suso.

"Anything can only be solved if you are full, right?"

"well……"
Chapter completed!
