The sound of breaking porcelain echoed in the chamber.

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:

"Is this really what the Marquis said?"

The middle-aged man is well-dressed, has a mustache, and looks 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, the 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 did you repay the favor?"

"You were forced to this point by two little brats. Do you know how many nobles are laughing at you outside?"

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 like this.

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?

Unable to understand!

Owen 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 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, Irving 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 the Marquis willing to give up the Shining Territory? "

Gille glanced at Owen and said with a half-smile: "You don't need 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 was finally going to break the unwritten rules among nobles and go directly to seize the territories of other nobles?

But if you 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.

Or does the Marquis of Jinyan have a way to make other nobles in the principality turn a blind eye to this?

"What does special envoy mean?" Owen asked in surprise.

"You don't have 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 won't be able to defend Glitter City on his own. In the end, there will be no second result besides 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 a wise choice.

In other words, by this time, Irving had no other way to go.

At this moment, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside.

The clerk hurriedly walked into the hall, as if he wanted to report something, but after looking at Gille and the man in a cloak sitting beside him, he hesitated.

Owen waved his hand impatiently: "If you have anything to say, tell me!"

The secretary quickly bowed and said, "Sir, the scouts have sent word 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 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.

"Send the order and let Daario lead the army to defend the city. No one from Blackstone City can 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 Golden Rock City with you!"

Gille put down the teacup and smiled slightly: "Wise choice."

"Please wait for me, Mr. Special Envoy, I'll 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 purchase land.

Before Black Rock City is attacked, we must seize the time to collect our property.

In order to avoid Gille's dissatisfaction, Owen also went up and stuffed a small bag of gold coins into Gille's hand.

"Sorry to trouble you, Sir Envoy."

Gille weighed the bag with a smile on his face.

"No need to worry, Lord Baron. Please feel free to rest assured. With Mr. Huo Qi here, even if the Black Rock City army surrounds Glitter City, we can get out of here safely."

Owen heard this and glanced at the cloaked man next to him in surprise.

Since entering the meeting room, 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 Gilles's guard.

But from Gilles' tone, the cloaked man named Hodge seemed to have no lower status than him.

"I wonder who Mr. Hodge is."

Owen was about to test the cloaked man's background, and suddenly heard a noise coming from outside. He frowned and was about to call the guards to question him, but he saw Hodge in front of him suddenly stand up.

"Something is wrong, there are screams, it's an assassin!"

Assassin? !

Owen was half-believing and half-doubting. The Black Stone City army was ten kilometers away, and his mansion was heavily guarded. What kind of assassin could break in?

However, Owen soon had no doubts.

The shouting and killing quickly approached the meeting room, and then suddenly quieted down.

Following closely, a figure slowly stepped into the meeting room.

The moment he saw the face of the person coming, Owen's eyes widened in shock.

"Sunan!"

Giller's eyes fixed, and he sat up straight subconsciously, looking at the young man standing at the door with interest.

Is this the wizard in the rumored Black Stone City?

Sunan's eyes swept over the three people in the hall, and his sight paused on Hodge. He narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled:

"It seems that I came at the right time. Are you three discussing how to escape?"
