Mrs. Sophie wondered if there was something wrong with her family education, which led to Luther's lack of romance.

So she left in a bit of anger, but eventually she sent a maid to tell Luther that she would arrange a time for the two parties to meet.

Luther put his mother's anger behind him. He was somewhat delighted to be able to connect with a wealthy and influential family like the Morgan family.

Money makes money.

But there is something that can make more money.

That's connections.

Whether in the past life or this life, the first thing a businessman needs to do business is connections.

People with connections will always have smoother business than those without connections.

Now the Pompeii family has gained a reputation, and there are already two to three thousand ordinary residents in the city of Pompeii. Given the attractiveness of the Pompeii family, it will not be a problem to take in another two to three thousand people and turn it into a small town.

The next step is to develop Pompeii into a large city.

A large city with a population of 30,000, 50,000, or even over 100,000.

The Pompeii family cannot support a city of this size. The Pompeii family needs powerful families to participate in building the city.

The current network of the Pompeii family only has seven major families. But for the remaining six families, each family can come up with 5,000 gold coins, which is a blessing, but what can they do with 30,000 gold coins? Even the Morgan family introduced by my mother cannot support the construction of a big city. It needs to unite with other families of similar size to support it.

If Luther wants to build a large earldom in the future, like the Earldom of Libya, with a population of millions and more than one city, it will be a large territory.

That requires more gold coins.

This is what attracting investment means.

Of course, in such a situation, Luther also needs to support his own strength, such as uniting the seven major families. Even if these families are very weak now, Luther wants them to become rich through this city-building plan to make the Pompeii family stronger.

In this plan, the Pompeii family will be the roots and trunk of the tree, and the seven major families will be the branches.

Only when the Pompeii family becomes strong can we prevent other capitals from becoming too powerful and eventually becoming the masters.

The construction of a metropolis or a large territory is definitely not as simple as piling up little by little. It also requires consideration of funds, connections, and dominance.

Consider all aspects including politics and business.

Luther still has a long way to go to become a noble with a real title.

And when the Pompey family finally grows up, it will surely be a huge family that will attract the attention of Prussia and even the whole world.

And Luther will be the leader of this powerful family, Mr. Pompey.

So Luther was looking forward to meeting Miss Morgan of the Morgan family. But before that, a woman who gave Luther a headache arrived in Pompeii.

…….On the deep forest road connecting Kaiyue City and Pompeii Territory.

Since this avenue was repaired and made smoother and wider, it has come in handy. Many vendors would go to Pompeii before dawn every day and sell their goods back to the Pompeii market.

The existence of the clay golem also brought the Pompeii family a certain degree of fame, which attracted some people to travel to Pompeii.

All in all, this avenue has been very deserted for the past few hundred years, but in Luther's hands, it has gradually become much more lively.

Today a very luxurious team is walking on this road, heading south to enter Pompeii Territory.

A large part of the luxury of this team is reflected in one of the carriages, which is a golden carriage inlaid with gems.

The whole thing is full of the atmosphere of a nouveau riche.

Anyone with vision knows that people who ride in such a carriage are not short of money. So this golden appearance, except for some wooden structures painted with gold, the rest of the structure should be real gold.

Besides the wood, and the wheels, this is a carriage made of pure gold.

The carriage was pulled by two tall, pure white horses with no stray hairs, and there were two coachmen in front. There were at least four knights around the carriage.

These four knights were all knights of the Barton family that Luther was familiar with, and the one he was most familiar with was Knight Howard.

In addition to this, further out were a large number of guards, male and female servants.

The identity of the person in the carriage is obvious.

This is the woman that Luther has always wanted to attack but couldn't beat.

Hey, I'm very lustful.

You are so charming, but I can't get you.

Serve it cold.

Inside the carriage, Miss Alice, who made Luther hate her so much, was lying on her side on the leather seat with her legs bent, reading a book in her hand.

There were two rows of seats, front and back, with a small coffee table in the middle. On the small coffee table, there were some exquisite biscuits and cakes.

From time to time, Alice would stretch out her fair little hand with bright red nail polish to pick up a biscuit and eat it, with her mouth puffed up like a little squirrel.

Tired of reading, Miss Alice sat up and stretched.

Her waist is very thin, a standard wasp waist, as if it could be broken with a little force. But her breasts are very plump and spectacular. She also likes to wear tight skirts, and the overall aura is like that of a devil.

Stretching lazily at this moment is even more unique.

"I think I've been to this countryside place once when I was a child." Miss Alice propped up her chin and looked lazily at the deep forest outside the window.

Alice would never set foot in such a rural territory without a reason.

Miss Alice's purpose is very simple, she has a strong interest in Luther Pompeii. Don't get me wrong, she did not develop a wonderful love for Luther.

She just became interested in Luther.

Not only is there the knightly strength of Luther, who is a junior knight but has ascended to Eagle Mountain, but there is also Pompey, who is being developed by Luther now.

"This guy is very ambitious and is playing a big game. Maybe I can have a chance to share some of the cake." Alice's eyes flashed with cunning.

The Baron's eldest daughter, the beautiful Miss Alice.

Rumor has it that she is a fickle socialite who has been around countless men.

Although rumors are just rumors, they are definitely not groundless. Alice is lively by nature and has many friends in the surrounding territories and a wide network of contacts.

So do some business.

So Alice is very rich, even richer than the Baron.

Of course, this is limited to cash. Compared with the artworks and properties accumulated by the Baron's family over the generations, Miss Alice's money is still far from enough.

In short, Alice is a person with money, connections, and a certain business acumen. She noticed the changes in Pompeii and naturally wanted to get a piece of the pie.

"First, open a bar in Pompeii as a base."

Alice supported her smooth and beautiful little chin and planned.
