After his subordinate left, Bart’s face immediately darkened. He secretly regretted that if he had not been so firm with the Dragon Castle and accepted their sincerity, he would not have ended up like this.
Bart sighed, picked up the bell on the table, and gently rang it.
Another subordinate walked in. Bart said, “Tell the butler to invite Mike and the guardian of Dragon Castle again. This time, the place will be… The Gem Auction House. Tell the butler that if he can’t invite them this time, I’ll kill him! Also, I heard that the guardian of the Dragon Castle is a cripple. I have a Devil Dragon Bone Marrow here. Get someone to put it in the auction house.”
The subordinate accepted Bart’s order and walked out.
Bart looked at the darkness in front of him and sighed. “Damn it, what’s going on!”
The sun was about to set, and the moon could not wait to show itself. The sky was gradually covered with a layer of darkness.
The butler of the Bart family came to the gate of the Dragon Castle again. This time, he did not put on airs and changed to a low-key carriage. He personally got off the carriage and said to the guard with incomparable politeness, “Please help me inform Mike that the butler of the Bart Family has come to visit again. Mike and the guardian of the castle… Please allow me to meet them.”
Seeing this, the guard looked at each other and saw the incredulity in each other’s eyes. They did not dare to be negligent and quickly went to inform Mike.
“The Bart Family?” Mike was stunned for a second, but he quickly reacted and said with a smile, “It seems that they want to make peace. Then don’t neglect them. Invite them to the reception hall.”
The guard immediately left.
Little Jerry looked at Mike and asked, “What do you think?”
Mike said to Little Jerry, “Of course we can’t make peace with them. If we make peace now, we can only have equal status with them and absolutely can’t gain the upper hand. Even if the other party’s strength is far weaker than ours, they don’t understand us and have never been hurt by us. They will never truly respect us. They are the local snake.”
Little Jerry smiled. “I’m thinking the exact same thing. In that case, will you not go to see the City Lord?”
Mike smiled. “Of course not. I still have to make plans to go to the Otherworld. How can I go meet him?”
Little Jerry was amused. He smiled and said to Mike, “Then I’ll make the decision for you?”
Mike nodded and said, “I’ll listen to your orders now.”
Little Jerry turned around and walked away with his back to Mike. When he reached the door, he raised his right arm high and clenched his fist.
Mike smiled and said, “You bastard.”
The butler looked at Little Jerry and frowned, but he did not dare to flare up. He could only ask,
“May I ask you, Guardian, why is Mike not here?”
Little Jerry frowned and glared angrily at the butler. He asked, “What’s the matter, butler? Am I not qualified to meet you?”
The butler frowned, but he remembered what the guards had told him. He quickly put on a smile and said to Little Jerry, “How can that be? It’s just that I’ve met Mike in the past. I want to talk to Mike again and exchange views and ideas.”
Little Jerry smiled and said, “Then you can talk to me.”
Hearing this, the butler immediately understood what Little Jerry was trying to tell him: You and I are just spokespersons. Don’t think too highly of yourself.
Little Jerry’s intentions clearly raised Dragon Castle and the Bart Family to the same level.
Hearing this, the butler was immediately a little unhappy. Fortunately, he still remembered his mission, so he said to Little Jerry, “You can’t say that. After all, we are the owners of this city, so we naturally have to clearly understand that we can’t neglect our guests.”
Little Jerry smiled and said, “There’s no need. We have already felt the hospitality of your landlords over the past few days, and from it, we have experienced your full sincerity.”
When the butler heard this, he hurriedly changed the topic. “Our City Lord sent me here because he wants to invite Mike to the Gem Auction House for a chat. The reason why our City Lord chose the Gem Auction House was that he heard that you were injured, and the auction house happened to be auctioning a set of Devil Dragon Bone Marrow. That is just right for your condition. Do you think you should tell Mike and see what he thinks?”
Little Jerry heard this and said, “There’s no need to tell Mike. I’ve already said that Mike will be there. You can just tell your City Lord that.”
When the butler heard this, he was first shocked. Then, he frowned and said, “Guardian, please understand. I’m just a little butler. If something goes wrong, I can’t bear it.”
Little Jerry heard this and raised his eyebrows. He took out a portal and sent a message out. Not long after, a message was sent from the other side of the portal.
Little Jerry held the portal and waved it in front of the butler. The butler could not see it clearly, but Little Jerry already took it back.
The butler sighed and said, “Then I’ll go back and report to the City Lord. I hope Mike can attend the banquet on time in six hours. Goodbye.”
“Then I’ll send you off.”
Little Jerry pretended to push his wheelchair a few times and wanted to stand up. The butler cursed him in his heart, but he did not dare be negligent. He quickly pushed Little Jerry back into the wheelchair and said, “You’re not well, please stay.”
Little Jerry pretended to be sad and said to the butler, “Then take care, butler. Please forgive me for not being able to send you off.”
The butler gloomily cupped his hands and turned to leave.
After the butler left, Little Jerry muttered, “Devil Dragon Bone Marrow. That old Bart is really willing to spend so much money.”
He took out the message portal from his pocket, and there was a conversation on it.
“Tonight, we’ll eat spicy hot soup. Less spicy hot pot.”
Mike replied, “I know, but there are no more fish balls. Forgives me.”
Little Jerry frowned slightly and replied angrily, “Then put more fish tofu!”
Little Jerry moved his wheelchair and returned to Mike’s room.
“What is that Gem Auction House?”
Little Jerry said, “It’s one of the few properties in the castle in the Northern Region that hasn’t been interfered with by the Bart Family. They have a strong background. To us and the Bart Family, it belongs to the neutral side. With the arrangement of the Bart Family, it seems that they want to display a humble and neutral attitude. They want to appear sincere.. They already have a little bit of desire to make peace.”
