Fantasy Lord: Beginning with Daily Intelligence-Chapter 198 - 144: The Frightened Lord, the Decision of Five Lords (Part 2)
"May the Goddess of Life bless you!"
As the words were spoken, the three chose to leave.
In the end, only Baron Pat and Lord Joz Anubi remained.
"Lord Thor, I hope your choice is the correct one."
"I’ve been here for over a decade, I don’t want to leave!"
Baron Pape sighed lightly as he spoke.
"Lord Thor, since you’ve decided to stay, I will stay too!"
Joz Anubi’s expression kept changing, but eventually, he gritted his teeth and spoke as well.
Initially, he was very conflicted.
But after seeing Thor decide to remain, he made up his mind completely.
"It seems everyone has made their decisions!"
"Lord Baron Gladon, Lord Baron Valmy, Lord Baron Saki, you should prepare a bit first. I will have Pelos and Rajos handle things with you."
Thor spoke.
"Thank you!"
The three nodded, then stood up, bowed slightly to Thor, and left.
Soon, only three people remained in the room.
"Since the two of you plan to stay, you might want to take a look at this first!"
Thor said, waving his hand. Soon, Maid Karen came in and handed the documents Rajos had given earlier to Baron Pape and Joz Anubi.
"What is this?"
Baron Pape and Joz Anubi were slightly stunned, but they focused on it nonetheless.
As they read the contents, their eyes lit up.
The plan elaborately detailed the future development plan of the Eagle Merchant Association.
With their insight, they instantly recognized the immense benefits outlined in the plan.
The two looked up sharply, their eyes glowing.
"Currently, there are quite a few top nobles who have received news of the Divine Revelation and have begun to withdraw. This time, we have the opportunity to increase the revenue of the Eagle Merchant Association from thirty thousand gold coins a year to a hundred thousand, or even more."
"However, our current strength is insufficient, so I decided to further involve some Pioneer Lords. I will contribute eight percent, Rajos will contribute two percent, and each of you will contribute one percent. Additionally, my brother Tono will contribute two percent, Barbus will contribute one percent, and Baron Gladon and the others will contribute nine percent. This should greatly expand the Eagle Merchant Association."
Thor spoke, finally revealing his plan.
As they listened to Thor, Joz Anubi and Baron Pape couldn’t help but feel a bit excited inside.
A hundred thousand, or even more, gold coins.
Even if their shares were reduced, their income would undoubtedly see a significant increase.
Six percent of a hundred thousand gold coins amounts to six thousand a year.
If it’s three hundred thousand, that’s eighteen thousand coins.
Even the thought of it made their hearts race with excitement.
Moreover, this might not even be the end. According to the plan described, earning over three hundred thousand gold coins a year is only a matter of time.
At this moment, both felt a bit exhilarated.
"Lord Thor!"
"I agree with this plan!"
Joz Anubi chimed in, directly choosing to agree.
"Lord Thor, I agree as well!"
Baron Pape also nodded.
"Great!"
"Then it’s settled!"
"In a few days, my brother should have a reply!"
"As for the new members, you might want to consider your family members. If there’s someone suitable, you can recommend them, though we do need at least one Pioneer Lord who can enlist a Great Knight."
Thor nodded and seemed to recall something as he spoke.
"Thank you, Lord Thor!"
Upon hearing Thor’s words, Baron Pape’s eyes lit up.
He hadn’t expected that he’d be able to recommend Pioneer Lords to join.
Of course, this was Thor’s intention.
Next, he planned to select from his family members first.
If they didn’t allow recommendations for Pioneer Lords to join, then it might seem suspicious that all were members of the Dressrosa Family. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
They then discussed some follow-up matters.
The departure of the three Baron Lords wasn’t a major concern for those present.
The topic wasn’t even broached.
Nightfall gradually approached.
As the sky dimmed.
The banquet in the castle soon began.
But at this moment, only Baron Pape and Baron Joz were present at the banquet.
When the banquet concluded.
The two remained in the Eagle Territory.
Until the next morning.
Only then did they return to their own territories.
In Joz Anubi’s domain.
"Not leaving?"
Hearing the young master’s words, the old servant couldn’t help but speak with shock.
"Yes, not leaving!"
"I’ve worked hard here for over ten years; I can’t just leave like this!"
Joz Anubi’s words were resolute.
"But, Young Master Joz, if the Divine Revelation erupts, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"We won’t be able to handle it."
The old servant couldn’t help but speak again.
"Rest assured, this time it shouldn’t affect us. Ford, do you remember the incidents each time a Divine Revelation occurred? None have been this high-profile. The one in the Tulip Kingdom doesn’t take things lightly; many powerful ones have fallen at his hand on the Outer World battlefield."
Joz Anubi shook his head; at this moment, his heart was completely at ease.
Divine Revelation is indeed terrifying, but if Thor is daring enough to take the risk, why shouldn’t he?
More importantly, he understood the strength of that one in the Tulip Royal Family, even in the Empire, they’re not unknown.
Such an existence, if they truly take action, Divine Revelation wouldn’t just not manifest; even if it did, they could solve it.
This notable commotion, even the Dressrosa Family knows about it; he doesn’t believe the Tulip Royal Family doesn’t.
As long as they know, it should calm down without any issues.
"But!"
The old servant couldn’t help but want to speak again.
"Enough of the buts!"
"It’s decided!"
"Additionally, Ford, travel to the West, see my elder sister, and request some support."
Joz Anubi shook his head, not wanting to discuss further, and instead gave Ford instructions.
"This!"
"Alright!"
"Master, I hope your choice is correct."
Ford shook his head; he knew he couldn’t persuade him anymore and reluctantly nodded in agreement.
"Ford, you need to be quick."
"It’d be best if you could bring back three Great Knights for me."
Joz Anubi spoke.
At this moment, he had already seen the share dividends.
Expanding the Eagle Merchant Association, bringing in other Lords is one way, but providing more strength himself is also a path.
If he could contribute three more Great Knights, he could gain more shares.
Having read that plan, Joz Anubi clearly understood the vast future of the Eagle Merchant Association.
If he seized the opportunity, he truly had a chance to soar in the entire Tulip Kingdom.
A chance for rise.
By then, even upon his return, he would have a genuine opportunity.
Ford soon departed.
Elsewhere, Baron Pape also began to prepare.
Though he decided to stay, he still needed a backup plan.
"Lawrence, when you return to the family this time, stay for a while; it’s best to return after at least six months."
Baron Pape advised his son.
