Two hours later, Hildebrand walked out of the dining hall, frowning slightly. The Conferred Knight standing next to him was Peter, who had rushed over to inform Fang Xingjian the other day. Peter said, "Elder Brother, why would they not agree? It's obvious that our conditions are better. Could it be that there's a problem with Fang Xingjian? "
Hildebrand could not figure it out either. However, he merely said, "It's probably a problem with Fang Xingjian. This brat, haha, it seems that I really have to make a trip to meet him personally. "
"Big Brother, you're going to see him personally? Is there a need for it? "
Hildebrand said, "Of course there's a use for it. Even if it's just a small part of the Martial Techniques Grading Plan, it'll still be worth tens of millions of gold coins. As long as I can take part in this plan, it won't be a problem for me to surpass Austin and Xiao Tianxia within the next half a year. You should be able to fight for the top three in the National Selection. " Austin and Xiao Tianxia were the other two level 29 students in the academy. They were ranked first and third respectively, and their abilities were close to Hildebrand's. They were also seen as Hildebrand's greatest opponents.
To Hildebrand, the Martial Techniques Grading Plan was an extremely juicy piece of meat. He had the background of the Knight Association and rich connections. Moreover, the Empire's upper echelon was also very supportive of the collaboration project with the Church. It could be said that everything was prepared.
He did not expect himself to be able to swallow up the entire Martial Techniques Grading Plan. There were many people in the central who were eyeing the money that the Church had set down. Just the price of 15 million gold for the first batch of 1,000 sword techniques was enough to make them green with envy.
However, even if Eldebrand were to get a small piece of it, he would be able to manage millions of funds. In his opinion, with his background, it would be easy for him to intercept hundreds of thousands. As for the rest of the money, he would use it to purchase various cultivation resources and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures on himself. Speaking of it, it was also to speed up the progress of the project.
"I'm afraid that Fang Xingjian is not willing. The last time I saw him, he was very emotional."
Hildebrand shook his head and smiled. "So what if I'm unwilling? Collaborating with the Vatican was the trend of the times, and all the big shots in the central government were very supportive of this collaboration. This was a national policy, so what if he was talented? Moreover, no one could monopolize everything in this world. Fang Xingjian had sold the Prodigious Astral Divine Powers Waves to the Second Prince out of luck. However, he had already incurred the jealousy of many people. If he was smart, he would have given away half of the Martial Techniques Grading Plan. It was not a resource that he could monopolize. If he really wanted to hog it all for himself, he would only be stuffed to death. "
Hildebrand shook his head and sighed, "A man who is never content is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. If a person wanted to eat alone every time, he would not be able to live. Humans were social animals. If they wanted long-term benefits, they needed to share the benefits. Fang Xingjian wants to give everything to himself. That's the stupidest way to die. "
On the side, Peter nodded repeatedly, a thoughtful look on his face.
Hildebrand gave it some thought and said, "Make another trip to the central. Go back and ask the butler to transfer 10,000 gold."
"10,000 again?" Pete smiled bitterly. "Isn't it too much to give them?" This time around, in order to speed up the progress of the collaboration project, Hildebrand had already given over 80,000 gold to the officials in the central government. He could be said to have put in a lot of effort.
One had to know that his own cash flow was only slightly more than a million yuan.
"If you want to get something, you'll have to pay first. Many people won't be able to get their hands on the money from the collaboration project, so they won't be proactive. By giving them money, we'll be letting them gain a share as well. Otherwise, even if my father is the Knight Association's Deputy Chief, they won't let the plan pass so easily if I were to monopolize the profits. " Hildebrand patted Pete on the shoulder and said, "Alright, go in a while. You'll only be able to earn big money if you're willing to part with a small amount of money. 80,000 gold in exchange for several million or ten million gold. There's nothing more worthwhile than this. "
Pete sighed and said, "We're the ones who do all the tiring and dirty work. Those people in the central government, on the other hand, are able to earn money while lying down."
Hildebrand said, "They have their own difficulties. Living under His Majesty's nose isn't that easy either. "Moreover, even if we don't need these favors this time around, there will come a time when we'll need them in the future. "I'll be heading to the Imperial Capital sooner or later. You can be considered to be making preparations for me."
Pete looked at him and nodded fiercely. "Brother, you'll definitely be able to get into the top three in the National Selection this time around. No, you'll be able to get first place!"
Hildebrand smiled. "Let's first defeat Odysseus and Xiao Tianxia and become the number one in the Great Western Region."
Just as the two of them were talking, they saw Fang Xingjian walking toward them.
Pete frowned, stood before Fang Xingjian, and said, "Fang Xingjian, what are you doing here?"
Fang Xingjian threw him a glance. "It's none of your business."
Fury flashed in Pete's eyes. However, he had heard that Fang Xingjian had single-handedly gotten rid of two level 27 assassins from the Sand Country. He also knew that Fang Xingjian had single-handedly suppressed Gao Clan in the Beize Region. Gao Clan's clan head was a level 27 Conferred Knight.
Therefore, although he was furious, he did not make a move. It was because he knew that Hildebrand was standing behind him.
Hildebrand said, "Alright, Pete. Don't quarrel with a child." After saying that, he walked up to Fang Xingjian. Looking at his young face, Hildebrand shook his head and said, "Fang Xingjian, you're really stupid.
"If I were you, I definitely wouldn't make so many enemies for no reason. Right now, you're relying on your talent to do whatever you want. However, you don't know that I can't see any of the qualities that a successful person should have."
Fang Xingjian looked at Hildebrand and asked, "Who are you?"
Hildebrand smiled, and Pete could not help but say, "This is Young Master Hildebrand, the second strongest expert in the Regional Academy. You'd better show some respect."
Hildebrand said calmly, "The association has already made a decision regarding the Martial Techniques Grading Plan. I'll be taking over and carrying out the in-depth cooperation between the Empire and the Church. "I'll send someone to the Sword Tower to get the detailed information regarding the Church in the afternoon. I hope that you'll be more cooperative."
"Oh? You've sent someone to the Sword Tower? "
Hildebrand frowned and shook his head.
Fang Xingjian smiled, knowing that Fang Xingjian did not know that he had already completed the grading of 1,000 sets of sword techniques. Of course, Fang Xingjian would not have expected that Fang Xingjian would be able to complete it so quickly.
Therefore, Fang Xingjian could not be bothered with the two of them. He threw them a glance and continued to head for the archbishop's room.
Hildebrand looked at Fang Xingjian's back and shook his head, saying, "As your senior, there's something that I have to say to you. "Fang Xingjian, if you don't even know how to be a human, how are you going to reach the pinnacle of Knights? "How should I put it? "There's a saying in the Westerners that is right. 'Things that are too rigid are easy to break.' "This is your current state. You're young, I understand. You think that you're omnipotent, but it's just a misconception. You're unable to see the general situation clearly. "The entire world is formed by countless trends. If you wish to reach the pinnacle, you'll have to go along with the world's trends. "This time around, the cooperation between the Empire and the Church is the same. You'd better take a good look at the situation. Don't create trouble and spoil things."
With that, he left without waiting for Fang Xingjian's reply.
