Chapter 41 Owen's Transformation

The Hilton family was very efficient in managing affairs. On the morning of the third day, a convoy of 10 carriages was ready and ready to go.

The crisis facing Hilton this time is multifaceted.In terms of business, Anthony can't help much.All he can do is to open up this business channel and open up a main artery for the Hilton family to deliver fresh blood.

Looking back at the convoy behind him and the family masters standing motionless like iron piles beside the car, Anthony couldn't help but feel a burst of pressure.

Drawing on the experience and lessons of the expedition to Krakow County a few years ago, this time, the team entourage that the Earl equipped Anthony was at least black iron fighters.

In other words, this is a caravan composed entirely of professionals.

Most of the goods loaded on the carriage are the ones that have a large backlog in the Hilton family's warehouse, and they are also goods that are planned to be sold at a low price in order to withdraw funds according to the plan.

It can be said that this is not an ordinary commercial action.It's a battle to break the ice, a journey to break the ice.Its purpose is not to gain from trade, but to open up business channels and remove obstacles.

For that failure, Andres has been brooding.Not only because of the failure of the operation, but also because they didn't need to pay such a painful price.Everything is due to insufficient preparation, resulting in mistakes in the arrangement.If it weren't for the safety of the valuable cargo on the carriage, and if it wasn't for protecting the family members and business backbones with low combat effectiveness, the group of strong men he led would actually have a chance to escape unscathed.

So, this time, they will definitely not make the same mistake again.

But for Anthony, as the person in charge and commander of this operation, he is not at all easy.

One high-level bronze fighter, two middle-level bronze fighters, and six junior bronze fighters.The rest are black iron fighters, a total of 41 people.Not counting the commander Anthony, the entire team adds up to just half a hundred.

For such a team, just looking at the composition of the professional ranks is scary enough.With that aura, when walking on the wilderness and ridges, ordinary gangs of thieves and robbers would run away if they saw it from afar.But on the other hand, if Anthony folded them in his hands, or if the casualties were too heavy, it would be a heavy blow to the Hilton family.

Anthony is confident in his own strength. If he goes alone to break through the barrier, he will not worry at all.But with such a group of "experts", he also had no idea.

What made him feel even more stressed was the person beside him.

"I said, why are you participating in this mission?" Anthony asked helplessly.

"The patriarch didn't say anything, so why should you worry about it, brother. Besides, I made it clear in front of everyone at that time that I just treat myself as an ordinary team member, and you don't have to treat me any differently. This is my initiative to invite Ying to join Come in, no one will blame you for anything, so you can rest assured." Sitting next to Anthony was Count Silvio's only son, Viscount Owen.

Anthony waved his hand abruptly, signaling the convoy to set off.This is not a huge, but absolutely capable caravan. After many years, it finally embarked on the unfinished journey again.

Anthony's carriage was in the middle of the convoy, and Owen was the only one sitting with him.The other nine carriages were similar, except for the coachman, there were only one or two people in each carriage.The rest of the masters were guarding both sides of the convoy on horseback.Before and after the convoy, there are also two riders patrolling each other.

The team moved forward slowly. Anthony sat down, glanced at Owen, and said, "The team is about to start. If you want to change your mind, it's still too late."

Owen puffed up his chest and made a high-spirited posture: "How can I say that I am also the No.1 choice for the next patriarch of the Hilton family. How can such an important task be done without me."

Anthony smiled: "Hey, since when did our Master Owen start caring about the Hilton family's business?"

The two are not very old, Anthony is under 17 years old, and Irving is only in his 20s.But when two people stand together, people will always unconsciously confuse their order of seniority.The young Anthony is mature and steady, while the older Owen has a detached personality.No matter how you look at it, it seems that Anthony is the elder brother.So much so that it was very natural for Anthony to say such words like the elders teasing the younger generations.

Owen was a little annoyed when he heard the words: "Look at what you said, when did I stop caring about the family business?"

Anthony just looked at him with a smile and didn't answer.

"Well, you're right, I really don't worry much about family affairs." Owen looked at him for a while, and finally lost like a deflated balloon.

He also sat down, leaned back, leaned his back on the carriage, and looked at the sky slantingly.

"Do you know that from a very young age, my father began to cultivate and exercise my business skills. And I did not disappoint him. I showed my talent in this area early on. To say it immodestly, if we only talk about business Ability, among the big families in Edinburgh, none of the young people of my age can match me."

On Owen's young face, there was a trace of pride and bitterness.

"At that time, I was the hope of the family, and the undisputed candidate for the next patriarch. However, I don't like business, I don't like doing business! I like adventure, I like to wander around, and I like to make friends with people who they think are vulgar. Reckless guy. If it wasn't for their strong opposition, I would even register as a mercenary, join a famous or unknown mercenary team, and live a passionate, exciting and dangerous life.

"In the end, the idea of ​​becoming a mercenary did not come true. However, I did not manage the family's business according to the family's wishes. I just idled around all day, having fun with some warriors or other family children. Anyway, the family has money, and I don't It’s a prodigal family, so this little expense is nothing. In terms of business management, my father is doing a good job now, and there is Elder Andres sitting in charge of him. One less than me is a lot, and one more than me is not much.

"This time, I almost lost my life in Hengling. Fortunately, I met you, my brother, and saved my life. However, seeing my father rushing to rescue me with people, seeing his disappointed eyes, watching He worked so hard to recruit you, a young genius, and strengthen his family. For the first time, I felt that I was really selfish and a jerk before.

"I like to take risks, and I like to be a mercenary, so I have to do what I like. My father and the elders of the family object and stop them. I think they are interfering with my freedom. However, I never realized that the name in my name Bearing the surname of Hilton, I am a member of the family, the patriarch, and my father's son. On my shoulders, I have a responsibility that belongs to me and must be borne."

Having said that, Owen, who was lying lazily on his recline, suddenly sat up straight, his face became resolute.

"So, from now on, I want to say goodbye to my previous life!"

"The former business genius is back!"

"What you are about to see is Owen Hilton appearing as the heir of the Hilton family!"

"..."

Looking at Owen with a serious and determined face, Anthony was also happy for him.

Although this rather idle young master of the family won Anthony's favor because of his performance in handling the crisis of the Bruce family, he agreed to invite him to join the Hilton family.But for his attitude towards life, it is difficult for Anthony, who has always been strict, self-disciplined and enterprising, to agree.In his opinion, Owen's mediocre life is a waste of time and life.

Now that he has finally come to his senses and is working hard, Anthony is naturally happy to see the results.

However, Anthony still has a little doubt in his heart.

Although this operation of the Hilton family is a commercial mission, the situation is a bit special.If it is regarded as a mercenary mission to "suppress bandits", it seems to be okay.For Owen, who had always longed to be a mercenary and was unable to join the mercenary team, it was really hard to say whether this was a commercial operation or a mercenary mission...
