In the courtyard, Wiggins, who was sitting in a wheelchair, looked delighted when he heard Hallward's report.
"This guy went home without telling me. Go and ask him to come see me."
The great victory on the Southwestern Front meant that Wiggins' share of the iron ore had been returned, and he was extremely happy these days.
"Master, Master Luo Ning is currently discussing something with the Marquis in the backyard, so I'm afraid he won't be available for the time being."
"It's okay, just tell him first and ask him to come over when he's done there."
Diane, who was humming a little tune and leaning over to take care of the flowers and plants, glanced at her husband and asked, "Are you still going to ask Luo Ning for a share of the Chishan Iron Mine?"
"Of course, this is what we agreed on before." Wiggins said as a matter of course.
Dai Anni continued watering the plants with her head down. "It's different now than before. At that time, Corian didn't rebel, and Ronin was just going through the motions. In fact, Ronin played a key role in winning the war. It's not appropriate for you to ask for 30% of the Chishan Iron Mine at this time."
Wiggins frowned and looked at his wife with a strange look.
"You have changed now. You will speak for Roning."
Dai Anni stood up, walked to the side with the kettle in hand, and said naturally: "Just like what people say outside, Luo Ning is the hope of the Wushan family, and he is indeed very outstanding."
"That's true. I didn't expect him to grow to such a height."
Wiggins undeniably agreed, "But I won't give up my share of the iron ore. At worst, I'll take less."
After Roning came out from Lulans, he received an invitation from Hallward, asking him to visit his father Wiggins.
He naturally knew what he wanted to talk about after meeting.
However, since Lu Lan Si has decided to grant both Chishan Town and Boulder City to him, the ownership of Chishan Iron Mine naturally belongs to him alone.
There is absolutely no need to negotiate the profit share with Wiggins again.
I just said this to the other party, and I don't know how the other party will react? So Luo Ning found an excuse to finish lunch at Lu Lans' place and then go over to postpone the meeting.
"Brother, how did you train and become a Silver Knight?"
Brayton ran over and asked questions in disbelief.
He was shocked when he read the message in the letter.
The last time they met, Bretton felt that his brother's back was out of reach, and now he is no longer able to catch up.
"Determination, continuous hard work, and unshakable will are what have enabled me to make such rapid progress."
Roning patted Bretton on the shoulder and said solemnly: "Come on, Bretton, as long as you are like me, you will definitely make great progress."
Breton's eyes sparkled with admiration: "I will definitely learn from you!"
While the two were talking, Moster came back with Irene.
At this moment, Irene changed into a sky blue magician's robe, which was somewhat similar in style to a corseted dress.
Irene lifted the hem of her skirt and swung it. "Most said this dress costs hundreds of gold coins. It's too expensive. Is it really appropriate to give it to me?"
Although she couldn't let it go, she knew how expensive the magic dress was and was a little hesitant to accept it.
Luo Ning's eyes lit up.
They say clothes make the man, and that's true.
After putting on this magic robe, Irene's whole temperament was elevated to a higher level.
"Since it's a gift from the Marquis, just wear it with peace of mind."
Luo Ning was very satisfied with the overall effect. "Butler Most, is there anything special about this dress?"
"Master Luo Ning, it is said that this dress can activate the magic of 'light body technique'."
Irene nodded and said, "I tried it. After using magic to activate the bead on my chest, my body became lighter and my movements became much faster."
Luo Ning stepped forward and touched the bead to sense it: "There is indeed a fluctuation of wind element in it."
In battle, wearing such a wizard robe can indeed bring a lot of benefits.
"I wonder who made this wizard robe?"
Magic costumes is a good industry.
Most shook his head. "I only know that it was given by Viscount Dennis of Pointed City. I don't know who made it."
While the three were discussing the robe, Bretton came up and asked hesitantly and curiously, "Is this...sister-in-law?"
Well.
This sentence made the three of them stunned for a moment, and then Irene's face turned red, and Roning knocked the other person's head.
Most bowed and explained, "Master Breton, you misunderstood. This is Miss Irene, an intermediate magician from Wubei Territory. She is the same age as you."
It would have been fine if he couldn't catch up with big brother's strength, but now it seems that even big brother's followers can surpass him.
This won’t do!
If Roning knew what Bretton was thinking, he could only sigh that the perspective of a master cultivator was indeed different from that of an ordinary person.
They talked for a while and then had lunch with Lu Lans.
After Roning asked Most to settle Irene, he came to Wiggins' courtyard.
"Hello, father." Luo Ning bowed politely.
Wiggins hummed, feeling a little complaining in his heart. He had given notice so long in advance, but he didn't expect them to come until the afternoon.
"Please sit down, Luo Ning. Your performance this time has amazed us all. The family will be proud of you!"
"Thank you for the compliment, this is what I should do."
As Luo Ning spoke, he sat on a chair beside him, picked up the cold juice prepared by the servant and took a sip, which was very refreshing.
"After this victory, I will ask your grandfather to make Chishan Town your fiefdom."
Rulans obviously did not inform Wiggins of his decision, which is why the latter said this.
"Thank you for your trouble, but father, grandpa has already told me this morning that he will give Chishan Town to me."
Luo Ning paused for a moment and said, "In addition to Chishan Town, the Hansen family's Boulder Territory will also be given to me."
"ah?"
Wiggins was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting such an answer from Roning.
He subconsciously grabbed the armrest of the chair and sat up straight: "Then Luo Ning, what we talked about before."
Luo Ning thought about it and decided not to beat around the bush and tell the truth:
"Father, when we talked before, you helped me obtain the operating rights of Chishan Town, but now grandpa has directly divided Chishan Town into my territory, and I now have the ownership of the Chishan Iron Mine."
He spread his hands and said, "Father, you didn't give me any help, so it's hard for me to agree to your share of the Chishan Iron Mine."
“Bang!”
Wiggins was so angry that he crushed the armrest of the chair.
He had already prepared to bargain with Roning, but he didn't expect the latter to block his way with just one sentence, leaving no room for bargaining at all.
Perhaps it was because of his love for money that he was so angry that Wiggins grabbed the broken wood and threw it at Roning with a fierce look, asking angrily, "What are you talking about?"
Roning did not move, but when the wood was about to hit him, he burst out with fighting spirit and condensed it into part of the armor in front of him.
With a snap, the wood hit the Dou Qi armor, bounced back and stuck into the grass at Wiggins' feet.
"you!"
At this moment, Wiggins suddenly woke up.
He forgot that Roning is no longer the same person he used to be and is no longer someone he can beat or scold at will.
The Silver Knight couldn't even take the opponent's attack even if his legs were not broken, let alone now that he was unable to move.
If Roning had controlled the angle just now, the wood would have easily pierced into his only leg.
Diane, who heard the noise, immediately came out of the house. When she saw the scene, she roughly guessed what was going on.
"We are all family, we can discuss anything."
She came over and advised, "Don't be so angry."
"Madam is right."
Luo Ning removed his fighting spirit protection and smiled: "There is a saying that goes, impulse is the devil. Father has not changed this habit after experiencing the ups and downs of life. This is not a good thing."
Wiggins snorted coldly and stopped showing any aggressive behavior, but his face looked so gloomy as if he was about to cry.
Dai Anni could hear the accusation in Luo Ning's tone, but could only say helplessly:
"His temper has calmed down a bit since he broke his leg, but it's a habit he's developed over most of his life, so it's hard to completely get rid of it."
Wiggins couldn't help but glared at Diane, and then reminded her in a bad tone: "Ronin, watch your attitude when you speak. No matter what, I am your father!"
“I always keep that in mind.”
Luo Ning also reminded: "But you also have to understand that I am not just your son." (End of this chapter)
