Chapter 51: Unacceptable
Translator: Lonelytree
As far as Matthew knew.
Zeller’s position in the lord’s manor was the head of intelligence and the person in charge ot matters related to adventurers.
This person was deeply trusted by Rheagar.
This could be seen in the incident of Sift s kidnapping. Rheagar had given Zeller full authority to deal with the matter of the spy.
And Zeller was worthy of Rheagar’s trust.
He rarely appeared outside of work, but he was always with Rheagar. As long as the head of the Suki Family appeared, one would be able to find Zeller within ten steps.
Time passed.
As a result, a ridiculous rumour even appeared in some small circles in Rolling Stone Town. Some people said that Zeller was a new lover that Rheagar had found after he was betrayed by his wife.
But Matthew felt that this was pure nonsense.
He didn’t find any signs of a couple between the two of them.
Moreover, he had to be careful.
From Sif, Matthew already knew that Zeller had followed Rheagar before he married and had children. The two of them must have accumulated a pure and deep friendship over the years.
The person who made up the rumour was probably jealous of Zeller’s extraordinary status in the lord’s manor, as well as his face that was enough to bring disaster to the country.
“Thanks for the reminder.”
Matthew put his hands together and said, “So it was the lord’s intention for you to visit tonight?”
Zeller smiled gently.
” No. Rheagar was not willing to let a necromancer interfere with the intelligence work of Rolling Stone Town, but I convinced him otherwise.” Matthew gently clenched his fingers. “What do you want me to do?” He could tell that Zeller was implying something.
Zeller reached his right hand into his left sleeve, and a high-quality kraft envelope appeared between his index and middle fingers. He placed the envelope in front of Matthew and said unhurriedly,
“This is all the information. I’ll tell you as you read.”
Matthew did not hesitate.
The envelope wasn’t sealed, and several thin pieces of paper slipped out after the red string was untied.
Matthew glanced at the content and frowned slightly.
“It’s a bit tricky, isn’t it?”
Zeller gulped down a mouthful of cold ginger water.
It would be fine if there were only one Order of Calamity, but I never thought that Rolling Stone Town would one day be targeted by three notorious evil organizations at the same time. The timing is too coincidental. I’m afraid even Blake wouldn’t believe that none of them were organized and dispatched. ”
Matthew looked at the three organizations mentioned in the intelligence that might attack Rolling Stone Town in the near future.
The Order of Calamity;
Silver Frost Brotherhood;
Withering Order;
“What is even more ironic is that these three organizations actually sent threatening letters or challenges to us using their own names! “Even the approximate time and place of the attack are written clearly.
“Are the current leaders of criminal organizations that unconventional?
“Or should we lament that Rheagar had kept a low profile for so many years that the outside world had forgotten the brutality and terror under the gentle appearance of the Suki Family?”
Zeller spoke very calmly and steadily.
However, when he said the last sentence.
Matthew felt a surge of anger.
‘He does seem to regard himself as a member of the Suki Family.’
This thought flashed through Matthew’s mind.
His gaze quickly swept through all the words. contemporary romance
Not long after.
Matthew understood the situation.
‘ As you can see, the Southern Patriarch of the ‘Order of Calamity’ has demanded that we hand over the murderer of their members and pay 50% of our annual tax as an annual tribute. Otherwise, they will raze Rolling Stone Town to the ground.
“The leader of the Silver Frost Brotherhood demanded that we hand over the two arsonists currently in the Rolling Stone Town prison and pay 60% of our annual tax as an annual tribute. They also wanted us to provide a stronghold for the Silver Frost Brotherhood to train reserve members. Finally, they even wanted us to send 50 women every year to solve the marriage problem of their members.
“As for the Withering Order, they were the easiest to talk to. They only asked for 30% of our taxes, and they only asked for the destruction of the forest around the town.”
Zeller still had a gentle smile on his face.
“These bandits are more familiar with extortion than the devils in purgatory.”
Matthew’s expression was a little serious, and he looked a little more ruthless.
“Can Rolling Stone Town deal with the invasion of three evil organizations at the same time?”
Zeller quickly said, “We can resist the invasion, but we can’t control the intermittent disturbance.”
Matthew instantly understood.
The biggest headache when a territory encountered an evil organization was that the other party would not play the fair game.
Evil organizations would more likely employ harassment tactics. The security situation in the territory would take a sharp turn in the short term!
Not to mention Rolling Stone Town, even a medium-sized city like Jiliu City wouldn’t dare to say that they would survive this onslaught from all sides.
Among the nearby cities, only Baiyan City and Jade Court had such strength.
“Of the three organizations, two of them are targeting me, and the remaining one is also related to me.”
Matthew pursed his lips.
“On the surface, that’s the case, but in fact, without you, they will still launch a malicious attack on Rolling Stone Town.”
Zeller tapped his left and right knuckles with his right hand and said briskly,
“It’s better to say that you have already helped us resolve an attack from them.
‘ Besides, with you around, Rolling Stone Town’s resistance to evil has increased, so you don’t have to have any other thoughts. As long as you are a
resident of Rolling Stone Town, you will be protected by the Suki Family, and the Suki Family will never compromise with evil..”
