The sound of breaking porcelain resounded in the meeting hall.
Owen held the cracked cup, ignoring the fragments that punctured his skin and the blood flowing down. He stared at the middle-aged man sitting opposite with his bloodshot eyes and said in a hoarse voice.：
“The Marquis really said that？”
The middle-aged man is well-dressed and has a mustache, looking like a pampered aristocrat..
After listening to Owen's words, he picked up the black tea and took a sip before speaking slowly..
“The Marquis has been busy dealing with matters in the Storm Territory recently and has no time to pay attention to your matters..”
“Besides, Lord Marquis has given you a lot of help before, and even helped you contact the killers of the Spark Cult. He has done enough, but how do you repay the Lord?？”
The middle-aged man spoke slowly, but the content of his words was merciless..
Owen's forehead was beating with anger, but he didn't dare to get angry in front of this person, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it..
To be honest, he couldn't understand why things turned out the way they did now..
In just less than two years, how did the two brothers grow Black Rock City to the point where it is now?？
And that Sunan, who was a loser who couldn't even learn the breathing method two years ago, why did he suddenly become a wizard, and even Martell died at his hands?？
Can't understand！
Irving said he really couldn’t understand！
Maybe he shouldn't have cared about face in the first place and it would be best to just kill the two brothers..
It’s only now that I regret it, it’s already too late.
Unless the Marquis of Jinyan is willing to send troops, it is really unlikely that he can defend Glitter City with the only troops he has left..
What's more, even if he can hold on, he, the Flash Baron, may only exist in name only..
Thinking of this, Owen took a deep breath, suppressed the annoyance in his heart and said: "Special Envoy Gillet, if the Marquis is dissatisfied with me, you can punish me later, but I will never complain. But once the Flash Territory changes hands, the Marquis will no longer It will be difficult to control this land. Is it possible that the Marquis is willing to give up the Shining Territory?？”
Gille glanced at Owen and said with a half-smile: "You don't have to worry about this. Even if the Flash Territory changes hands, I will take it back with my own hands in the future.".”
Owen was stunned..
what does this mean？
Could it be that the Marquis of Jinyan is finally going to break the unwritten rules among the nobles and go directly to seize the territories of other nobles?？
But if we really want to do this, I am afraid that the nobles of the entire principality will not allow it, and they will definitely attack the Marquis of Jinyan.！
Even the Marquis of Jinyan cannot afford such consequences.
In other words, Marquis Jinyan has a way to make other nobles in the principality turn a blind eye to this.？
“What does this mean? Owen asked in surprise..
“You don't need to worry about this.”
Giller waved his hand, narrowed his eyes and said：
“Although you are incompetent in doing things, you have a broad mind. For the sake of your service, you ordered me to take you out of Glitter City. From now on, you can safely be the master of the manor in Golden Rock City..”
Owen's face suddenly turned extremely pale.
From a dignified baron to the owner of a manor all of a sudden, the gap was so huge that it was really hard for him to accept..
But if he doesn't do this, he will not be able to defend Glitter City on his own. In the end, there will be no second result except being buried with Glitter City..
Gille tasted the black tea slowly and looked down at Owen, whose expression was changing..
He believes Irving will make wise choices.
In other words, at this point, Irving has no other way to go..
At this moment, there was a burst of rapid footsteps outside..
The clerk walked into the hall hurriedly, as if he wanted to report something, but after looking at Gille and the man in a cloak sitting next to him, he hesitated..
Owen waved his hands impatiently: "If you have anything to say, tell me quickly.！”The secretary quickly bowed and said: "Sir, the scouts have received news that the Black Rock City army has marched five kilometers outside the city and will arrive at the city gate in at most an hour..”
As soon as the words fell, Owen stood up from the chair, unable to suppress the look of panic in his expression..
“How did they come so fast?？！”
After saying that, he realized his gaffe, barely restrained his panic, and waved his hands pretending to be calm..
“Pass the order and let Daario lead the army to defend the city. The people from Blackstone City must not be allowed to step into the city.！”
When the secretary resigned, Owen no longer hesitated and said to Giller quickly: "Special envoy, I agree, I will go to Jinyan City with you.！”
Gille put down the tea cup and smiled slightly: "Wise choice.”
“Please wait for me a moment, special envoy, I will have my things packed right away..”
If you run away, you still have to take the property you need to take with you..
If you want to be the owner of a manor, you must have money to buy land..
Before Blackstone City is attacked, we must seize the time to collect our property..
In order to avoid Gille's dissatisfaction, Irving also went up and stuffed a small bag of gold coins into Gille's hand..
“I'm sorry, Mr. Envoy..”
Gille weighed the bag with a smile on his face..
“Don't worry, Lord Baron. Please rest assured. With Mr. Hoch here, even if Blackstone City's army surrounds Glitter City, we can get out of here safely..”
When Owen heard this, he glanced at the cloaked man next to him in surprise..
Since entering the meeting hall, the cloaked man has not spoken a word and has been sitting quietly beside him without saying a word..
He thought the cloaked man was Giller's bodyguard.
But judging from Giller's tone, the status of this cloaked man named Hodge seems to be no lower than his..
“I don’t know whether Mr. Hodge is.”
Owen was about to test the cloaked man's identity when he suddenly heard a noise coming from outside. He frowned. He was about to call the guards to question him, but when he saw Huo Qi in front of him, he suddenly stood up..
“Something's wrong, there are screams, it's an assassin！”
assassin？！
Owen was dubious. The Black Rock City army was ten kilometers away, and his mansion was heavily guarded. What kind of assassin could break in?？
However, Owen will soon have no doubts anymore..
The shouts of death quickly approached the meeting hall, and then suddenly became quiet again..
Immediately afterwards, a figure slowly stepped into the meeting hall..
The moment he saw the face of the visitor clearly, Owen's eyes widened in shock..
“Sunan！”
Gille's eyes narrowed, and he subconsciously sat up straight, looking at the young man standing at the door with interest..
This person is the rumored wizard from Black Rock City？
Su Nan glanced at the three people in the hall, paused for a moment on Huo Qi, narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled.：
“It seems that I came at the right time. Are the three of you discussing how to escape?？”
