Chapter 91

Lukav smiled amusingly and said, "Anyway, this show is over after that one shot, now there would only be celebrations and headaches for some, let's try getting close to him and his men during this banquet . "

Duncan nodded as he gave his suggestion, "Well I can ask Georgio to schedule our meeting with Lord John . He is quite close to the knights when he was at the mansion previously . His friendly nature was one of the things why I sent him here, he is unlike the arrogant guys who are too full of themselves when it comes to important matters . "

Marquis commented to Frank after watching this scene, "I guess there will be big turmoil in the kingdom after everyone hears of this weapon, especially the Dukes, the Radiant church and the Royal Family . I wonder if they will still try to pressure John via different means . Let's head to the ceremony . I hope to get some of those Ballistas for my Mansion and Our Naval Fleet . I guess it's good that your son took his independent decisions or everyone would be regretting their actions and try to mend our ways, however, I wonder how you would try to appease Joseph since you would be representing Morgan Family . "

Frank nonchalantly said to Steve Ray, "Well I am not too worried it, I would rather have Joseph handle all the business in the north if there are some problems, As for both the duo of Grandfather and Grandson, they can pull their shit elsewhere, I am only interested in gains of Morgan family . Additionally, I am more interested in buying real-estate and local businesses, now that the laws have slackened here and they are encouraging trade and investment . Now I am pretty sure that this town atleast won't be devoured by Beasts unless a lot of people attack them . Though this is risky behavior, however last time when my son left the Morgan family, he reminded me of my past where I remembered that taking bigger risks could mean bigger gains as well . No big risks would mean no big gains aswell . I guess years of hardship made me a little bit precautious . "

Ray nodded and agreed, "Quite true, Maybe that is one of the reasons we can't achieve our goals since we are afraid of failures . "

Bishop Robert of Radiant church, "Hmm . . . So that was the reason why they were confident in making and confronting multiple enemies the last time around . It seems they have decided to show their hands now . We have a change in plans, we will try contacting the dukes and Royal family for cooperation from now onwards . "

One of the clerics hesitantly asked Bishop Robert, "Is it really ok to cooperate with Royal Family? You know they are always hostile to us because of that incident 128 years ago where we exerted some of our influence on the kingdom . "

Bishop Robert touched the scepter in his hands as he spoke, "Well, this Baron has quite a lot of guts since he is already confronting our interests whether it is mending relations with Demons or demi-humans . Plus he is the student of that Grand Potioneer Melanie so We always have to worry about them creating cheap drugs and reduce our influence . Additionally, we are only allying with the Royal Family on certain matters so it won't have any effect . However, we would need to tread carefully not to get bitten by those Jackals . However we can still try one last time as long as he ceases his relations with that Demon, you know the higher ups pretty much hate the guts of that demon as he has assassinated a lot of higher-ups in the past, however from the looks of the laws over here I don't think he will relent . Okay, lets head on and meet that head spy from the Royal family . "

Cleric reacted as he heard this, "Well, we are already in contact with him, however, it will take a lot of time to convince them for cooperation as there is very little trust between us . However, we can still contact that Baron easily, maybe how about enticing him with money, our coffers are always loaded you know . "
