And when this group of rich and powerful fugitives arrived in the Odin Empire, although they obtained safety under the protection of the Odin Empire, they still faced two big problems. Most of the Odin Empire's land was located in the north and it was covered in snow all year round. Eight out of twelve months of the year, the natural conditions weren't very ideal. Moreover, the social development wasn't good and the infrastructure and entertainment facilities were very backward. Thus, the quality of life for this group of rich fugitives had greatly declined!
Moreover, this group of rich fugitives originally had very high social status in their respective countries and regions. But the traditional nobles of the Odin Empire were very disdainful of these rich fugitives from the three empires and repeatedly bullied them. Thus, this kind of disparity was very difficult for these fugitives to accept.
Although these rich fugitives obtained safety, their quality of life, living conditions, and social status were in an awkward situation. That was when "West Ham City", located in the south of the Odin Empire, came into being and met their needs.
West Ham City was located at the southern end of the Odin Empire. It was located at the intersection of the Gutley River and the Black River. It had abundant water and grass and a pleasant climate. Although there were three to four months of winter every year, compared to other regions of the Odin Empire, the natural conditions were already very good. Moreover, West Ham City was less than a thousand kilometers away from the Kaman Empire and had built the only railway between the Odin Empire and the Kaman Empire, the Caterpillar Railway. Thus, West Ham City was deeply influenced by the culture of the Kaman Empire. The city's level of development was very high and it could be said to be a dragon that ate, drank, and played.
Moreover, the Boateng Family, the Odin Nobles that governed West Ham City, was very open-minded. They weren't like the other Odin Nobles, discriminating and humiliating fugitives that fled to the Odin Empire. Thus, according to incomplete statistics, 65% of fugitives from the Faust Empire, the Kaman Empire, and the Posis Empire with assets over ten thousand gold. Their destination was West Ham City!
Thus, with the help of the capital and technology brought by these fugitives, West Ham City's economic development surpassed the Odin Empire's capital, Nokandu, in a short twenty years and became the city with the highest economic level in the Odin Empire!
And following the development of West Ham City, the Boateng Family managing West Ham City also rose along with it. They went from a Mid Noble Family to one of the most powerful Nobles in the Odin Empire!
Although Gu Ning didn't know why Prince Jue's party had a relationship with the Boateng family in Danilo's memory, she thought of Isabella's nervous attitude when she heard the news from Danilo that day outside Anderson Valley. If Prince Jue's party really had a deal with the Boateng family, it would make sense.
Although Connor was curious about the relationship between the Duke's faction and the Boateng Family, his rationality made him realize that no matter what happened between these two forces, it wasn't something he, Connor Ferguson, could meddle in. If he insisted on meddling, it was very likely that he wouldn't even know how he died!
Apart from Bisping and the Boateng family, Connor also obtained a third piece of information from Danilo's mind, which was also the last piece of information. Danilo had been hiding in the Ferguson Family for so many years, and all the movements of the Ferguson Family had been transmitted to the Secret Society by him. But Gu Ning had never discovered any other spies of the Secret Society in the Ferguson Family. In other words, Danilo was very likely the only spy of the Secret Society in the Ferguson Family!
And now that Danilo was dead, it meant that the Secret Society had become deaf and blind in the Ferguson Family, unable to obtain any information. Realizing this, Connor's expression suddenly became excited. Although he was still some distance away from returning to the Ferguson Family openly due to the threat of Prince Jue's party, Danilo's death at least made him not have to worry about being discovered by the Secret Society. He could take Varga to the Ferguson Mansion to treat Old Ferguson!

Flosinone, in the deepest suite on the second floor of the Agudelo Hotel.
This suite didn't look special from the outside, and it was no different from the other suites on the second floor. It was just an ordinary Sir's guest room, but if you walked in, you would find that the interior of this room was very luxurious. There was a hand-woven carpet, a full set of Cayman gold wood furniture, the best pure silver tableware, and so on. Everything here was comparable to the Marquis' suite in the Agudelo Hotel, and it might even be better!
At this time, a two-meter-tall, cold-looking, one-armed man wearing a traditional robe of the Odin Empire was sitting on the sofa, casually flipping through a thick account book. Opposite him was a tall, beautiful, and very elegant middle-aged woman in black casual clothes. She was standing there respectfully, seemingly waiting for the one-armed man's inquiry.
Although this middle-aged woman wasn't wearing the uniform of the Agudelo Hotel, nor was she wearing heavy makeup, it could be vaguely seen that she was Miss Stephanie, the lobby manager of the Agudelo Hotel, who had provided the Earl Suite for Connor and Varga in disguise.
Although this cold-looking, one-armed man was flipping through the account book in his hand, it was obvious that he wasn't interested in it. He simply flipped through it twice and pretended to be interested. Under Stephanie's gaze, he closed the account book and said flatly, "I don't understand the account book of your Agudelo Hotel. After a while, the family will send a professional accountant to check your financial situation."
"As for now, tell me, is there anything worth paying attention to in Flosinone recently?" The one-armed man tapped his fingers on the desk and turned to look at Stephanie. His tone suddenly changed as he asked with a deeper meaning, "What's the matter?
Stephanie heard the one-armed man's question and said without hesitation, "Recently, the mysterious Miss Isabella of the Duke's faction has been making a lot of moves in Flosinone in order to not be disturbed by the Professor's faction in the negotiations with the family. She has consecutively removed the Professor's confidant, Bisping, and two very important subordinates in Flosinone, Verdigal Kavani of Kavani Restaurant and the deputy butler of the Ferguson family, Danilo."
