1219: Chapter 471: The Role of Lily_4 1219: Chapter 471: The Role of Lily_4 Everyone, stay away from my sister!
However, these were all descendants of his business partners, so Mr.
Bertram couldn’t be too excessive.
He took his sister exploring the Copper Gorge Extinction Domain daily, under the pretense of “finding delicious food for Verna.” Verna was thrilled and giggled like tinkling bells every day.
Over the years, her big brother had reduced the ti he spent with her.
Shelia and Lily also followed, reaping tons of benefits while enjoying the food and drinks.
One day, Glenn Mitchell was abruptly summoned by Mr.
Bertram.
The latter was unusually cordial, which made Mitchell very uncomfortable.
He tried to respond in kind a few tis, but finally, unable to hold it back any longer, he stared blankly at Mr.
Bertram and blurted out, “Sir, if you have sothing to say, just say it.
I’m too stupid to decipher what’s on your mind.”
Mr.
Bertram’s face sank, stupid fool with no prospects!
With a flick of his sleeves, Mr.
Bertram dismissed him.
Glenn Mitchell erged worried and anxious — if it was in the past, he would’ve still considered himself as a noble with integrity and didn’t bother what the boss was thinking, as long as he did his job.
But now, things were different, his precious sister was in Mr.
Bertram’s hands!
His dear little sister Lily might just listen to Miss Verna’s cajolery of “I never want to leave you, beco my sister-in-law, we will be one family”.
And she’d likely agree!
What was he going to do?!
After half a Shichen of pondering, Glenn Mitchell still hadn’t figured out what Mr.
Bertram was implying.
So, he went hunting and brought down a Tier-6 Monster Beast, presenting it to Catherine: “For you.”
Catherine was dumbfounded – regardless of your intentions, you’re offering a young girl a Tier-6 Monster Beast as a gift?
I’m not Verna!
Dumb fool with no prospects!–>
Having offered his gift and oblivious to Catherine’s discomfort, Glenn Mitchell seated himself grandly.
Then, with a sigh, he admitted, “I’ve offended Mr.
Bertram, and for the life of , I can’t figure out why.
You’re the smartest among us, so I’m asking for your help in understanding this.”
He recounted Mr.
Bertram’s call for him and then, with expectation in his eyes, asked Catherine, “What’s Mr.
Bertram’s intention?
Could it be he’s fallen for my sister and wants to make her his concubine?”
In Glenn Mitchell’s heart, he was well aware that if his sister were to be offered to Mr.
Bertram, she would only be a minor concubine.
Catherine laughed coldly, and said, “Buy the most expensive rouge and powder set from the Essence Collection in the capital, and I’ll tell you.” She looked disdainfully at the Tier-6 Monster Beast, “Bring this thing to soone who wants it.”
After a quick trip to the Capital, Glenn Mitchell returned the next day.
With misery etched across his face, he cursed the greedy rchants, “These bits and baubles took three months of my salary!
The world’s rchants deserve death!”
Catherine flashed a mischievous smile and revealed: “I heard Mr.
Bertram has dealings with this shop.”
Glenn Mitchell quickly covered his mouth.
His roving eyes scanned the surroundings to ensure Mr.
Bertram had not miraculously appeared like a specter.
Catherine gazed upon her gifts with joy and then addressed Glenn Mitchell: “Convey this to Lily; if any of those dandy boys try to impress Miss Verna, have Lily run them off.”
Glenn Mitchell was taken aback: “Is that Mr.
Bertram’s intention?”
“It must be Mr.
Bertram’s intention.”
Though Glenn Mitchell didn’t understand, he trusted Catherine, “Alright!”
…
That very day, one unlucky bastard, who was visiting the Summit Guard Post to et Ava, was “graciously invited” for a spar with Lily and was beaten black and blue.
Having lost to a young girl, the poor guy would likely be too ashad to appear before Ava again.
Mr.
Bertram was present throughout the entire process, and it brought him imnse satisfaction.
At dinner that day, in high spirits, Mr.
Bertram even shared half his portion with Lily.
And then, that night, Mr.
Bertram made a trip to an island off Nanni Sea, where he found the last outpost of Boneset Country in the Eastern Land.
With the power of the Seventh Level invoked, the Red Clan folks on the island were unaware of anything.
After landing, Mr.
Bertram sauntered up to Mada Ilda’s door.
Madam Ilda cautiously opened the door and said, “A gentleman should not appear at a lady’s door in the middle of the night; Mr.
Bertram, this is not conductive and could lead to misunderstandings.”
Owen Bertram was rendered speechless right then…
He ended up spending half the night in conversation with Mada Ilda; they really just talked, and there was nothing untoward.
Mada Ilda was understanding and agreed to Mr.
Bertram’s proposition: he would not forcibly remove this last outpost; he would even allow Mada Ilda to stay within the Eastern Land.
Mada Ilda promised that this outpost would not pose any threats to Wood Dynasty.
Mr.
Bertram departed at dawn while Mada Ilda contacted the royal family of Boneset Country in the early morning: Owen Bertram has ascended to the Seven Mountains Power; it’s tough for to hold out in the Eastern Land, I have to go back.
If you want to stay and resist Owen Bertram, to defend the Empire’s first line of defense, I can — but you’ll need to pay more!
