System: Build My Own Territory-Chapter 717 - 245: I’ll Kill You All (10,000 Words) (6)
"The current price of a set of chain armor has reached twice or even three times as much as before!"
Upon hearing this, Janet’s tone turned a bit colder.
"Even knowing it’s our Frank Manor that’s making the purchase, is this still the price?"
Joao nodded, "Yes, Janet."
"I even brought up Jonas, yet they showed no courtesy whatsoever."
"They even said... said..."
Janet asked in a deep voice, "Said what?" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
"They even said, ’What does their friendship and relationship with Jonas have to do with you, Janet?’"
After finishing, Joao fell silent, awaiting Janet’s outburst.
And then he waited for more than ten seconds.
Joao still didn’t hear Janet’s angry roar, so he raised his head in surprise.
He saw that Janet was still leaning against the bathtub, her face cold as ice.
Although Janet appeared calm.
Her smooth, white chest was rising and falling quickly, causing the water surface to tremble rapidly.
It was evident that her heart was not at peace.
Sss...
Janet’s rosy, thin lips parted, inhaling a breath of fragrant air, making a slight sound.
Upon exhaling, Janet said in a deep voice, "As for the price, it’s not a big deal, as long as they’re willing to sell the weapons and armor that’s enough."
"As for their insolence... there will be plenty of chances to repay them slowly in the future."
Hearing Janet’s words, Joao couldn’t help but feel a bit of admiration.
Perhaps others would have already dispatched soldiers to Kakasong City.
But Janet, who was not even twenty years old, managed to keep her anger under control.
Joao nodded, "I will find them as soon as possible and finalize the transactions."
"As you instructed before, to assemble a fully armed cavalry squad of a thousand men!"
Janet nodded.
Having finished reporting, Joao was about to step out of Janet’s bedroom.
He suddenly thought of something and reported again to Janet.
"Janet, I forgot to report one more thing to you."
Janet said nothing, waiting for Joao to speak.
Joao didn’t waste words and directly started, "When I was in Kakasong City, I met the Gilbert Manor Lord from the neighboring Tuck Town."
"He told me that yesterday a messenger from Marquis Duca went to his manor residence."
"And conveyed Marquis Duca’s summoning order."
Janet frowned, "Marquis Duca’s summoning order?"
Joao nodded, "Yes, Janet."
"The messenger informed the Gilbert Manor Lord to assemble his soldiers, fully armed and ready for his dispatch at any time!"
"I think it won’t be long before the messenger arrives at Frank Manor with the same summoning order."
Janet sneered, "Even though we are vassals of the Ducas Clan, this land has always belonged to our Frank Manor for generations!"
"To protect our fief, we chose to bow our heads to the Ducas Clan."
"And every year, we pay a large amount of taxes."
"When we were under attack by a large bandit corps, the Ducas Clan turned a blind eye."
"When the bandit corps were eradicated, they sent a unit to Morgan Town just to put on an act?"
"Putting on an act would be one thing, but then they wanted Morgan Town’s manor lords to feed and entertain them?"
"Especially that Lawrence, he’s simply a beast!"
"Frequents brothels and plays with women, yet wants Frank Manor to foot the bill?"
"Uncle Joao, inform the guards, if a messenger from the Ducas Clan arrives at the manor, tell him to get lost."
"Just say, Frank Manor suffered heavy losses from a joint attack by the three great estates of Morgan Town, and cannot respond to the Ducas Clan’s summoning order!"
Janet’s voice grew louder as she spoke.
Compared to the exorbitant prices demanded by the weapons merchants in Kakasong City from Frank Manor.
The impending summon from the Ducas Clan made her even angrier.
So much so that the hot water her body was soaking in.
Was sloshing back and forth, splashing out of the bathtub.
After Janet had vented all her pent-up anger.
Joao finally responded, "I understand, Janet."
"I gathered some intelligence, some time ago, Mark Ducas received instructions from Mitchell."
"And has already deployed most of the Ducas Clan’s Sword and Shield Corps soldiers to the Windmill Ridge Canyon for stationing."
"Though unsure if it’s true, there are rumors outside that Marquis Duca lost Mitchell’s trust, leading to this situation..."
Janet did not continue Joao’s words, but rather reminded him.
"Uncle Joao, this isn’t much of our concern."
"The Karedi Empire is vast, and so is the Marquisate of Dukas."
"Even if an imperial power struggle unfolds, the flames of war are unlikely to reach us here in the Southern Border Land."
"Moreover, Morgan Town is simply too destitute!"
"Even if in the end, Mitchell supported by the Ducas Clan, fails and the Second Prince Caesar ascends as the Emperor of the Empire."
"His supporters would plunder and occupy the marquisate, breaking it into pieces."
"They still wouldn’t care to glance at a place like Morgan Town, remote and barren as it is."
"At most, they would only demand the annual tax from the manor lords of this region."
Joao nodded in agreement.
He understood that Janet spoke with reason.
This is also why Frank Manor has taken root and proliferated in Morgan Town for generations.
Joao bent slightly, saying, "I understand, then I will not disturb you further."
Janet responded with a sound.
Receiving the summarized response, Joao did not linger any longer and turned to leave the bedroom.
Pushing the door open, he walked away allowing the two maids at the entrance to close the door.
Confirming that Joao had indeed left, Janet, sitting in the bathtub, suddenly had a change in expression.
With both hands, she slapped hard at the hot water in the bathtub.
Splashes~ Splashes~
Each swing of hers sent a stream of hot water spraying out from the bathtub, landing on the carpeted floor.
Janet’s mouth, meanwhile, vented and shouted unrestrainedly.
"Just wait for me!"
"Just wait for me!"
"Once Frank Manor’s strength increases, once I occupy that territory, once I fully develop!"
"I’ll kill you all!"
"I’ll kill you all!"
As Janet’s venting became more intense, she even stood in the bathtub.
Not caring about her soaked white-red body exposed to the air.
