“That Daniel is quite interesting.”

Watson flew in the air and headed toward the direction of the Riptide Palace that he had just built. He could not help but chuckle.

“Young Master Watson, how is Daniel interesting? In my opinion, he is just like the head of the Campbell family. They are both short-sighted idiots who only know how to protect the dignity of the noblemen.” Lubin, who was following behind Watson, snorted coldly.

“Lubin, don’t say that.”

Gerant frowned. Then, Lubin said, “Why can’t we say that? We are from the branch family, but we have already obtained the strength of platinum-tier at the border. After coming to the capital, we even brought many good things to the people in our family! Not only are those people not grateful, they even ostracize us. Is it because we are from a branch family that they are afraid that we will usurp their power?”

“Lubin, so in your eyes, those two family heads are like that? I do have a different opinion from you.” Watson interrupted with a smile.

“What do you think, Young Master Watson?”

“In my opinion, whether it is the Campbell family’s head, Armand, or the Ptolemy family’s head, Daniel, they are not really targeting you and Gerant. It’s not that they don’t want to put you in an important position, but they don’t dare to do it.”

“What does that mean?”

“Because you’re from the border, and you’re my subordinates. The border count has always had a bad relationship with King Landhar III. If they put you in an important position, it’ll look like they’ve been bribed by the border count, even if not true. Do you think His Majesty will suspect them? They’re from an archduke family, yet they colluded with me, the strongest genius in the kingdom. If all the noblemen in the capital were like that, then King Landhar III’s authority would be unstable. Do you think His Majesty will allow that situation to happen?”

Watson’s eyes flickered as he explained that.

“Just now, in order to dispel Daniel’s worries, I demonstrated my power in front of him. I built a waterway outside the royal city that connected the surrounding area. I even summoned the sea folks to let him understand who controls the royal city now. Only then did he propose to discuss a deal with me and kneel to apologize to me.”

“I was thinking the same thing too, Young Master Watson. Since those people were the masters of the archduke families and stood out from the other noblemen, they were definitely not stupid! They treated us like pawns. If they want to blame us, they can blame us for being too sensitive.” Gerant smiled bitterly and sighed.

No matter what, the Ptolemy family was only using him, while Watson treated him as family. His previous decision to leave the Ptolemy family and become Watson’s subordinate had not changed.

“So that’s how it is.” Lubin nodded in understanding. He had thought too little about it. He thought that the Campbell family simply did not like him. Well, if they did not like him, then the higher-ups of the family would not have allowed him to attend the meeting. They would not have agreed to return the thousand holy relics that were owed to Watson after he resurrected Augustus.

Augustus had died because of the King, and the Ptolemy family was not stupid. Augustus could only return home to recuperate because of Watson. The only person who had entered Augustus’ room was the healer sent by the King. The Campbell family should have been dissatisfied with the King, and Watson took that opportunity to reach an agreement with them.
