All the contract girls want to marry me

Matthew thought for a while and made a decision.

"After the home was opened, we haven't had a dinner together yet. It just so happened that we killed the magic bear this time, which is worthy of celebration. Just tomorrow, we will enjoy a sumptuous dinner in the restaurant in the castle."

Surante nodded slightly and left the room.

Matthew sat alone in a comfortable leather chair, closing his eyes and thinking.Since he had a home, he rarely stayed overnight in the castle and hid in his home. The assassination operation against him would fail before it even started.

Can a mere killer break through the air wall and enter his home?Even if he gets through this level by luck, can he defeat the sword guard?That is an existence even more terrifying than the Demon Bear.

If it weren't for the sake of maintaining a pro-people attitude in front of the people and subordinate officials, he wouldn't even want to leave his home.

......

In the evening of the next day, all the contractors gathered in the main dining room of the castle.

Apart from Matthew and the nine contractors, there was only one guest, Andre, who attended the banquet.

In the battle against the demon bear, he charged bravely, and after Matthew severely injured the giant bear, he took over the battle as the main output and killed the difficult demon bear.

Since the name of this party is to celebrate the killing of the devil bear, it is natural to invite Andre.Because of Andre's presence, this banquet cannot be held in the home.

The secret of his home is too important. If anyone knew it, it would probably bring death to Matthew.

If he could not reach a contract with Diana at that time, he would definitely imprison Diana in order to keep the secret.

Although Andre is very loyal and does not look like a philistine businessman, who can guarantee that he will not fall out in the face of enough interests?

The secret of the home belongs to Matthew and the contractors, and no one else can enter it.

According to tradition, Matthew's banquet must include chicken drumsticks.

This time Matthew learned the lesson. He didn't want anyone to feel disappointed, so he simply prepared five roast chickens, a total of ten chicken legs.

Everyone, including Andre, has one, and no one will be lacking.

After dividing the chicken legs, Matthew smiled and raised his glass, "Let's drink for victory!"

Except for the stone man who didn't drink, everyone else drank.

Diana followed suit with a drink.

Her poisonous wounds disappeared completely after the miraculous night when the holy water came, and her reason for staying disappeared.

However, she did not leave, and Matthew did not mention it. This was a tacit understanding between them.Since there was no poison injury, there was no excuse not to drink.

After drinking this glass of wine, Matthew praised everyone's performance.

Of course he was the first to do so, but others also contributed.

Without Diana on the front line, the beacon tower would have been shattered long ago, and the position would have been washed away. Matthew and the others would not be able to withstand the ravages of giant bears and demon bears on the plains.

In addition, she also persuaded the giant bear to stop temporarily, which also slowed down the fall of the beacon tower.

Wenleya subdued the giant bear, and her achievements were no less than Diana's.

Andre and others also contributed.

Facing Matthew's praise, Milana and Kalainen were a little embarrassed.

They whispered with shame on their faces: "Master, we have no merit in this battle. This chicken leg deserves it..."

Chicken drumsticks are not valuable. As long as they want to eat, they can ask the chef to make a pot at any time. What is important is the meaning behind the chicken drumsticks.

This represents Matthew's approval.

There is a difference between eating chicken and eating chicken.

Although they really want to be recognized, they can't do it without getting rewarded for their efforts. They have to shamelessly accept the drumstick even though they have done nothing.

Matthew looked at the expressions of Mirana and Kalainen, and naturally knew their mood.

He smiled and said: "Don't think so. You followed my arrangements and didn't attack without authorization. This is also a credit."

Does that count?

Seeing the confused gazes of the two people, Matthew restrained his smile and said seriously: "Of course! We are stronger than the Demon Bear, but we are in danger in the battle. If it weren't for the blessing of the Lord of Holy Light, we would have been dead now. There is a memorial service for Miss Shirley, why is this?"

"Just because we don't have unified scheduling and cooperation!"

Now that the words were spoken, Matthew simply said it.

"Andre is not my contractor, nor is he a soldier under my command. He was able to act righteously, and I am only grateful in my heart."

"But you are different. You are my contractors and the guardians of the territory."

He stood up, bowed to Shirley, and said seriously:

"I haven't thought about what to do if I encounter a quasi-super monster before, so the cooperation between us is very unfamiliar, which indirectly puts you in danger."

"Miss Shirley, I'm sorry. Because of my poor consideration, you almost died on the spot. Please accept my apology."

Seeing Matthew being so solemn, Shirley felt a little embarrassed. She quickly stood up and said, "I can't blame you. I rushed too far. If there is another time, I won't rush like that." quick."

Matthew said in a deep voice: "There will be no next time! The enemy will not give us too many opportunities. We were lucky this time. Will we have such good luck next time?"

"What we need to do next is not to blame ourselves or each other, but to strengthen cooperation through drills."

"Only if you are fully prepared, you will not be in a hurry when you encounter a crisis next time. What do you think?"

Matthew's eyes swept across the entire venue, communicating with everyone.

The maids naturally responded loudly.

To most maids, whatever Matthew said was right, not to mention that it was indeed right this time.

The statement Matthew wanted was actually from Shirley and Deanna.They are very powerful, but somewhat independent.

Especially Deanna, she has no affiliation with Matthew, and whether she listens to Matthew's arrangements or not is entirely based on on-site judgment.This will certainly not work in the face of the next crisis.

Just as Matthew was waiting for Diana's answer, Andre slammed the table hard. His face was slightly red from drinking a few glasses of wine and he said loudly: "I agree!"

Chapter 065: Absolutely not giving it for free

Looking at Andre's eyes that were a bit softer than a woman's, Matthew wanted to put his hands on his shoulders and pat him a few times to express his gratitude.

It's a pity that Brother Andre doesn't like physical contact. In order to show respect, Matthew can only keep a polite distance.

Good brother, this is a good brother!

Maybe Andre simply supported Matthew, but invisibly transferred the pressure to Deanna and Shirley.Andre, an outsider, agrees. Why don't you two take a stand?

Shirley coughed lightly and nodded in agreement.

"Master Matthew is right, we are..."

Although they lived in the same home, the words "family" were too disgusting, and Shirley couldn't say it for the time being. She had an idea and changed it to a more reasonable term.

"We are a team. If we don't cooperate, we will only be defeated individually."

So right, Shirley!Matthew smiled and nodded, giving her a thumbs up.

Now there is only one person left who has not expressed her opinion, Diana.

Diana was also a little speechless. Although she signed a contract with Matthew, it was just an empty contract. She was the deputy leader of the Walder Knights. Her stay in Rundbell was only temporary. She might have to go there in the future. What about the Groningen battlefield?

That's right, she won't stay too long anyway, so what if she agrees.

So she solemnly nodded in agreement.

"Master Matthew is right. Since we are comrades fighting side by side, we naturally have to cooperate."

She could understand what Matthew was thinking, but she just didn't want to be ordered around.Just when she was hesitant to ask for command, Andre stepped forward.

"Matthew, if you trust me, leave the team's coordination tactics to me."

Eh, so confident?Matthew and Deanna looked at Andre at the same time.

Matthew originally planned to let Diana serve as the team commander, but considering that she had an empty contract, other contractors may not be convinced, so he has not made a decision yet.

If it were Andre, that would be a good fit.

Because he is not a contractor, he has no interest entanglement with anyone and is naturally the most impartial commander.

Andre patted the upper edge of his collarbone and said confidently: "My teacher is the famous [Hidden Sword Master] Pross. You should all know this."

"But you definitely don't know his other identity. He is also the chief instructor of the [Blue Wolf Mercenary Group], who is responsible for designing team combat tactics for their masters."

"And I happen to be the teacher's most proud disciple, and I also have a lot of experience in this area."

"That's great! Andre, can I officially hire you as my...guest instructor?"

Considering that Andre was the son of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce, it was obviously not polite to directly hire him to work for him, so Matthew chose to hire him as a guest instructor.

The guest general has a distinguished status and is free and flexible. He can leave whenever he wants. It is indeed the most suitable position.

Andre was strong and well-known, so he was more than capable of serving as a guest.

The only problem with this guy is that he's a bit effeminate. The action of patting his chest just now actually hit his collarbone, which is not manly at all.

But this is a good brother’s private matter, and Matthew has nothing to do with it.

After hearing Matthew's arrangement, Andre nodded with satisfaction and teased with a smile on his face: "Of course it's okay for you to be a guest, but do you know how much my senior brothers are worth?"

"According to the teacher's rules, the disciple's fee for being a guest is at least 30 mira per year. Anything less than this would be an embarrassment to the teacher."

30 Mila!

To be fair, Andre is definitely worth the price, but Matthew is too short of money.Although Matthew earns a lot, he spends even more.

Recently, he has to prepare for accepting refugees, and the speed of spending money is almost like opening a floodgate to release water. Naturally, he cannot afford the 30 rice.

Matthew had no money, so he had no choice but to pat his thigh and tease: "Brother Andre, look at how much I can sell for more than 100 kilograms of meat. Just chop whichever piece you like."

Andre glared at Matthew angrily and muttered in a low voice: "You still want me if you don't have money?"

"Forget it, for the sake of us being good brothers, I can give you a compromise."

"Please tell me." Matthew knew that Andre knew that he had no money, and Andre also knew that Matthew knew, so Andre's previous 30 mira was not a formal offer, but just an emphasis on his worth.

You can give a discount, but at least let Matthew know how much advantage he got.

Otherwise, wouldn’t it be in vain?

Master Andre will not give it to you for free.

He looked into Matthew's eyes, thought for a moment, bit his lip and said, "Although the teacher does not allow us to be guests at a low price, he did not say that I cannot be someone else's guard captain at a low price. So... "

Speaking of which, anyone who is not a fool will understand what Andre is implying.

Matthew was certainly not a fool, and he quickly offered an olive branch to Andre.

"Brother Andre, you are a disciple of [Hidden Sword Saint]. You are strong and well-informed. Logically speaking, I can't reach you, but I am short of a personal guard captain. I wonder if Brother Andre can take this into account." For the sake of our cooperation, will you serve as my guard captain?"

Andre dragged his chin with his white fingers, [thought] for a long time, then leaned close to Matthew and said softly: "If you promise me one thing, I will agree."

"Say." Matthew didn't dare agree in advance, what if it turned out to be a big trap?

After all, Andre is the son of a businessman and is cunning.

Seeing Matthew's alert expression, Andre leaned out from the dining table and approached Matthew.

He held Matthew's neck, put his red lips close to Matthew's earlobe, and said softly: "I want to visit your home."

Although Andre is a man, the way this guy dresses always makes Matthew feel a bit effeminate.

Matthew didn't understand the reason before, but now he finally knows.

This guy actually wears perfume!There is nothing wrong with wearing perfume. Many nobles and big businessmen of this era wore perfume.

The problem is that this guy is wearing women's perfume.

Could this guy be a cunning Zero who disguised himself well?

Thinking of this possibility, Matthew felt a chill running through his body.

He instinctively pulled away slightly and asked in a low voice: "I didn't hear clearly what you just said."

Andre glared at Matthew angrily and repeated it again.

Matthew's face darkened and he shook his head slowly, "I'm sorry, the secret of my home is very important to me. The conditions you proposed are not equivalent."

If Andre is not the captain of the guard, we can still ask Shirley to do it, or anyone else can.

But the secret of his home was too important, and he didn't dare to gamble on the businessman's reputation.

As long as the profits are sufficient, a businessman's integrity can be unimaginably low.
