Remington didn\'t regain his senses until he stood in front of the City Lord\'s Mansion. He pinched his thigh to confirm that he wasn\'t dreaming. Only then did he confirm that he was the owner of Mountain City. In this short week, his life had undergone a 180-degree change, which was completely unimaginable in the past. It wasn\'t that Remington hadn\'t thought of being a son that his father approved of like Yopuni. Even a low-level mercenary like Darang had a lot of ambitions. As the son of the Count, how could he not be a top noble in Mountain City?
Unfortunately, Yopuni was too outstanding in many aspects, so outstanding that Remington had no room to survive. Watching Yopuni gradually gain favor in front of his father, he saw that his father would consult Yopuni on every important matter, leaving his second son to the side. Remington began to understand that his father didn\'t need him.
So he began to indulge himself, soaking all his ambitions in alcohol, burying them in the plump peaks of women, and finally vanishing into thin air.
It wasn\'t until that night that Allen gave him a chance to palpitate with excitement. He was glad that he had caught it, so he was now the new owner of Mountain City. Remington looked in the direction of the city gate again. Although he couldn\'t see anything from here, he still remembered the head hanging on the city wall. He still remembered how domineering and sharp a saber had separated Gonzalez\'s head from his family that night.
Remington rubbed his neck. Just like he said, he didn\'t want to follow in Gonzalez\'s footsteps.
He walked into the City Lord\'s Mansion.
In the study, he saw Justin, an aide who served Rackett, who had changed his allegiance to Remington the night the old count died in battle. Remington did not refuse. Justin knew a lot about Mountain City, even better than Remington. With his help, it would be much easier for Remington to manage Mountain City during this period of time. Remington sat down and Justin hesitated. Remington snorted, "You want to ask what Lord Allen said about Parson?"
Justin said seriously, "My worries are not unfounded. You know, Young Master Parson would never have escaped on his own that night. Therefore, someone must have acted secretly. I'm afraid that this matter was incited by that lord. If that's the case, things will become incomparably complicated. "
"Then you can rest assured now. Lord Allen means that I can do whatever I want." Remington smiled sinisterly and said, "It's fine if that brat Parson escapes from Mountain City. For the sake of a brother, I can turn a blind eye. But if he wants to die, then I don't mind playing with him. I really want to know what that medicine fistula is going to use to fight me. "
Justin said in a deep voice, "It would be best if that lord did not make a move. But don't underestimate Young Master Parson. Although Master didn't say it on the surface, I knew that he still loved Young Master Parson very much. I'm afraid that Master left something behind for Young Master Parson. "
Remington narrowed his eyes and swept away the debris on the table with one hand. "That old fellow really doesn't like me the most. Good, good, good. He thought highly of Yopuni, and now Yopuni was dead. He loves Parson, so I'll let his beloved son go to hell to meet him! "
"Justin, find Parson for me!"
It was night, and there was a lot of traffic in front of the Diamond Empress Theater. In order to celebrate the inauguration of the new owner of Mountain City, the theater performed for free for three days. This was the last day, and the Mountain City Theater was about to be packed with people. Ollie wasn't affected by the turmoil, but because of her relationship with Parson, she was now thrown onto the cold bench by the theater. In the past, when she had Parson as her backer, even the theater owner had a cold expression on his face when he saw her. Now that her backer was gone, even the doorman boldly looked at her chest with a frivolous and rude gaze.
Ollie was furious in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on the surface. Her heart was filled with helplessness.
The theater had been bustling for the past three days, but there was no program arranged for her. Ollie knew that the theater was kicking her out and telling her to leave by herself so that she wouldn't implicate the entire theater. Ollie knew that even if she pretended to be confused and didn't leave, the theater would only tear apart their faces and rush over.
She had already decided to leave the theater and Mountain City tomorrow.
So at this moment, she was silently packing her luggage in her room. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door. Ollie raised her head in confusion, not knowing who else was looking for her now. Suddenly, a strange feeling flashed through his heart. Could it be him? Ollie hurriedly ran to the door and opened it, but there was no one outside. Her face was filled with melancholy. Just as she was about to close the door and return to her room, she saw a bouquet of roses lying on the ground.
It's really him! Ollie couldn't care less and ran out of the theater. However, there were people coming and going on the streets. Where was Parson?
A carriage passed by the entrance of the theater.
In the carriage, Parson only lifted the curtains a little and looked at the cold figure of the woman at the door. He sighed heavily.
"Young Master Parson, don't do this in the future. Something will happen."
Sitting on the opposite side of Parson, Sbraden said.
Parson nodded and said, "Mr. Spraiden, why haven't I heard Father mention you before?"
Spraiden said calmly, "That's why Young Master Remington doesn't know of my existence. Otherwise, how can I guarantee Young Master Parson's safety? Don't worry, you'll see a few familiar faces in a while. With our support, it's still unknown who Mountain City will belong to in the end. "
Parson said, "Hmm."
Spraiden smiled without saying a word. The most exciting part of Edward's plan was that there were indeed a few familiar faces that Parson knew among the forces that supported Parson, so Parson believed that all of this was left to him by Rackett. Edward's plan ended here, planting the seeds of discord between the brothers and igniting the line of fire of civil strife in Mountain City. As for who Mountain City belonged to in the end, Edward didn't care, and neither did Allen. In any case, they were the final winners.
The closer the winter was to its end, the colder the weather became.
Even in the south, water had turned into ice at this moment. Even though there were dozens of trade routes connecting the north and the south in the empire, at this time, there were very few merchant groups within the empire. Unless it was a short-distance trade route, few merchants would appear on the trade route at this time.
Jing Tie Town was located between the Land of Darkness and Iron Spear Ridge, very close to one of the north-south trade routes. In the spring and summer, there were many merchants traveling north and south, and they usually settled in Jing Tie Town. As a result, most of the taverns and hotels in the town were in a slump. However, in this cold winter, both bars and hotels were in a slump. Apart from a few larger bars and hotels, the rest were basically closed in winter.
Purple Mulberry Flower was a hotel in town that was open as usual, and the hotel itself also operated a tavern business. On the first floor of the hotel was a bar, which provided great convenience for the merchants who stayed in the hotel. However, the weather had been so cold in recent weeks that even a few short-distance caravans between Iron Spear Ridge and the surrounding territories had disappeared, causing the business of Purple Mulberry Flower to become sluggish.
