“What a little cutie.”
Watson reached out with his hand and patted the sleeping bag dragon on his shoulder. With a flip of his hand, two sun fruits immediately appeared in his hand. After the sleeping bag dragon happily ate them, he turned his gaze to Casey.
“Casey, you said you’d do anything if I gave you a Blessings from the Gods and Demons potion.”
“That’s right, Watson.” Casey nodded.
I want you to kneel and beg me. Is that even possible? ”
“That—”
Casey looked troubled. He turned his head to look at Daniel and the other members of the Ptolemy family behind him. It was not just Daniel; the other members of the Ptolemy family shook their heads.
Asking someone to kneel was too difficult, especially for Casey. As the Ptolemy family’s second young master, someone who might succeed in the position of the family head in the future, if he were to kneel before Watson in front of so many people, he would lose all his dignity.
“Watson, your conditions are too difficult!” Casey said. Just as everyone had expected such an expression, he said, “There are too many people here. Let’s change to another place. I’ll kneel and beg for mercy from you.”
Casey’s words made everyone’s jaws drop. A few people from the branch families almost fell down. Daniel’s eyes were also filled with killing intent.
“Casey, you’re a disgrace. Come back here.”
Daniel came in front of Watson and said, “Young Master Watson, when you were in the floating city, you made a deal with the Ptolemy family. I believe that it is a friendly deal! This time, not only did you come to take Gerant away, you even humiliated my son Casey. What exactly is your motive? Do you have something against my family?”
“Master Daniel, you are too serious. I’m taking Gerant away because your family doesn’t want him. As for Casey, he can do whatever he wants.” Watson shrugged.
Daniel snorted coldly. “Watson, even if it is as you say, you still want my son to kneel in front of so many people. You are not giving me any respect at all. It seems like you don’t want to continue trading with the Ptolemy family! The last time you helped build the gold-tier ship, we agreed to give you a portion of the profits. I’ve brought the money, but from your attitude, it seems like you don’t want the money.”
“I’ll give you two choices now. First, take the money that belongs to you, but you have to apologize for insulting my son. Also, you have to keep Gerant. I haven’t punished him for contradicting me just now. If you can do what you did just now, I’ll pretend that it did not happen! The second option, you take Gerant away. From now on, the deal between the Ptolemy family and you will be canceled. I’ll return the ship’s blueprint to you. You can choose for yourself. ”
“Forget about apologies, Master Daniel. The Ptolemy family has already seen my blueprint and learned how to build a magic ship. Even if you return the blueprint to me now, you won’t stop building it. Won’t I be at a loss then? However, as a person with great magnanimity, I won’t care about those gains and losses. The reason I came here today is to take Gerant away. I don’t care about anything else,” Watson spoke indifferently and turned to walk out. Gerant immediately came behind him and walked out with Lubin.
Seeing that scene, the Ptolemy family members could not help but shake their heads, lamenting Watson’s stupidity. For Gerant’s sake, he had refused to continue his relationship with the Ptolemy family. Gerant was just a member of the branch family. How could his value be comparable to the entire Ptolemy family? At the same time, they also admired Watson. He was willing to go to such an extent for a subordinate, even willing to shed all pretense of cordiality with Master Daniel. Every subordinate would want such a superior.
While everyone felt conflicted, Watson and Gerant had already walked toward Ptolemy manor entrance. Watson clapped his hands. “Nia, is the matter settled?”
“My honorable master, according to your orders, I’ve already spent ten million gold coins to buy all the ten mansions nearby.”
Nia descended from the sky as the King of Angels with countless layers of wings on her back and a crown on her head. The powerful aura emanating from her body made everyone feel suffocated. Her words shocked everyone even more.
“They spent ten million gold coins to buy every mansion in the vicinity. Is that for real?”
Some were the residences of high-ranking ministers in the kingdom, and some were the residences of other noblemen. Were those people willing to sell their houses?
Exclamations rose and fell. The noblemen who could live around the archduke’s family were of high rank, and those residences were carefully selected. Even meeting the owner of those houses was difficult, let alone buying the mansions.
“Well done.”
Watson nodded and smiled at Lubin and Gerant behind him. “I just said I’d give you a place to live in the royal city. Those houses were prepared for you.”
When he left the Abedor family, he had asked Nia to start buying those houses. As the eldest daughter of the Saint Laurent family and the kingdom’s second genius, plus the money Watson had given her, those noblemen could not refuse her offer.
“Young Master Watson, we can simply find a place to stay in the royal city. Ten luxurious manors worth ten million gold coins? It’s truly a waste to give them to us.” Gerant and Lubin looked at each other hesitantly.
They were very grateful for Watson’s good intentions, but as subordinates, they did not want Watson to spend money.
“As a superior, it’s normal for me to care about my subordinates. Furthermore, I didn’t say that only you are allowed to live in those luxurious mansions. ”
“Who else is living with us?”
Gerant and Lubin were a little puzzled, and at that moment, Watson clapped his hands once again.
Crash!
The sound of waves and the rolling sea descended from the sky. The 100,000 sea folk, led by Poseidon, descended. That scene shocked the hearts of the people there; even the pedestrians on the streets looked at the scene with their mouths wide open.
“Well met, Young Master Watson!”
Poseidon, leader of the sea folks, immediately bowed respectfully. The sea folk behind her did the same thing, swaying their fishtails to show their respect.
“Starting today, you will live with the sea folk and teach them how to function in human society! At the same time, I will construct a waterway between the royal city and the floating city. You can use it to pass goods between the royal city and the floating city and build an army.”
As Watson spoke, he extended his hand toward the outside of the manor. “Fusion system, activate.”
Boom!
With a loud bang, a huge palace appeared outside the Ptolemy manor. The entire palace was made of crystals and floated in mid-air. There was seawater flowing under the palace, and there was a school of fish swimming inside.. The blue seawater covered half of the city, replacing the original sky.
