Assassin’s Adventure - Chapter 190
Brisbane, a big man in the Royal Fortress, controls two mines and three plantations, and has long been in close contact with the Governor.
According to the grapevine, Mr Brees is likely to marry the Governor’s daughter, even though they are about ten years apart.
Bliss comes from the Valois family, a branch of the Capet family. It once ruled the kingdom of France for two centuries. It is also a royal family. The subsequent decline did not completely destroy the family, but tried to expand overseas. .
Brisbane is of course not a big man in France, but here, this is not a royal fortress that is not a regular colony, it can be said that it has one hand in the sky.
Every month, a dedicated supply fleet brings him a large amount of supplies, people, and helps deliver goods.
Bris has plenty of money and controls the transportation channels, so he can naturally gather a large number of people to work hard. In this age of money, power comes with it, and the thugs and guards maintain him in this city as the emperor of the dark world. status.
Well, this description may be a bit inaccurate. Bliss has a good family education. As a natural noble, he can always make everyone of the same status feel like spring breeze, but for commoners, it is like people from two worlds.
The manager of the mine rushed into the beautiful mansion, but the moment he pushed the door, he became cautious, wiped his wet hair, tidied up his clothes, and slammed the door.
“Benoit, what’s the matter so early?”
It was the pale butler who opened the door and handed over a clean white towel.
It’s less than nine o’clock now, and Benoit, the head of the mine, hastened his horse and arrived here in just half an hour.
It was a dull morning, as usual, not to mention the freezing rain.
“Mr Brice is in the study and has already sent a servant to inform him.”
The housekeeper is always unhurried, and in this case, Benoit also tried his best to suppress his anxiety, rubbed his shoes on the carpet, and walked towards the study.
After pushing open the door, what he saw was the elegant young man, wearing a casual comfortable robe, with brown hair scattered behind him, carefully checking the heavy books.
Of course, that could also be some ledger.
The fireplace in the room was burning vigorously, raising the temperature in the room to about 20 degrees. Even in the daytime, the candlesticks on the ceiling illuminated the room. The space was very large, and there was no feeling of stuffiness.
“Lord Bliss, the mine has been attacked.”
Benoit stood respectfully aside, knowing that Brees hated the most disrespectful and untidy.
“Shh…let me finish this page.”
Brisbane didn’t pay attention to the news that someone had attacked the mine, just glanced at Benoit calmly, and then stood up with the book.
“In the past, there were knights and knights who were responsible for defending the country, protecting young girls, orphans and children, and eliminating violence and peace. How blessed were the people of that era; our age of decay does not deserve such a great blessing…”
“In this day and age, laziness trumps diligence, ease trumps diligence, sin trumps virtue, arrogance trumps bravery…”
Brisbane’s reading aloud was full of emotion and excitement. He stepped on the red carpet in front of the desk and walked down from the desk with leisurely steps, with a lot of smiles on his face.
“What do you think of this part?”
Brisbane put the book on the square table at random, and stood in front of him. In the brightest place, there was a silent smile on the corner of his mouth, as if reading made him very happy.
“Uh…very interesting…”
He didn’t know how to appreciate this kind of article, but he was a little fascinated by Brisbane’s purple eyes, so he quickly looked away.
Brisbane is already twenty-eight years old, young and promising, without the vicissitudes of people who rush to the sea, and the life of fine clothes and jade food makes him look very young, with fair skin, no wonder there are rumors that he will marry the governor’s daughter.
“What happened to the mine? I think if it’s just a general attack, you should find Mr. Anthony and borrow some people to get the mine back instead of disturbing my morning.”
Brisbane’s expression gradually became serious, even called Tie Qing, and said in a very cold tone that he hated unplanned things happening, which would disrupt a lot of deployments.
Moody, this is his best portrayal.
This made Benoit a little terrified. Very few people dared to go against such a seemingly harmless man. Those few people almost disappeared cleanly, and he even dealt with many of them.
“Sir, it’s not just as simple as attacking the mine. They are freeing slaves. The leader is called the captain. They have at least one boat, and they move neatly. Four people, come prepared.”
“how many people?”
Brisbane doubted that he had heard it wrong, and that he had more than one manpower in the mine.
“You really disappointed me, go get Anthony, butler!”
He shouted in the direction of the wide open door.
“Yes, sir.”
Getting the answer he wanted, Brees continued to turn his head to look at Benoit.
“Go on, four people, are you a rice bucket?”
“Sir… The captain in the red suit, no, that’s just a devil, he is extremely athletic, the fog can’t hinder his vision, the guard with a gun…”
Snapped!
A loud slap in the face was slapped on his face, and Bryce couldn’t listen anymore. Every word of the people in front of him seemed to be shirking responsibility. No matter what, he couldn’t hide the fact that he lost the mine.
“Sixty slaves escaped~www.mtlnovel.com~Twelve good hands died, then you, Benoit, escaped like a coward.”
The latter covered his face and said nothing. No matter how hype he said, he couldn’t hide the fact that the mine was lost and almost all the personnel died, and he fled because of cowardice.
Time seemed to stagnate, and Bryce sat back in his chair again, throwing his favorite book aside.
The whole person seemed a little lazy, leaning on the chair, forcibly suppressing the urge to yawn.
Originally, he might have been a little worried. The most valuable things in his hands were these two mines, one coal mine and one iron mine, but when he knew that there were only four enemies in total, and only the slaves were freed, his losses were very limited.
Hasson kept twenty-five slaves in the mine, earning ten pounds a day to make some small money, so Brees really wasn’t worried about his own losses. What he was thinking about now was how to deal with those who disobeyed him. Let these people know what it’s like to **** them off at the Royal Fortress.
“Prepare the carriage for me, I should go to the Governor’s Palace.”
