Chapter 185 Betting
"Kevin, you are not welcome here, get out!"
When Pat saw the three people coming in, he couldn't sit still, because one of them happened to be Kevin, the person Pat hated the most, and it was he who mocked Gervis.
Even though Carl's father was the commander-in-chief, he was also a vassal of Alice. He could bully anyone except the Jones family. However, Gervis was Alice's husband, even in name only. He did not dare to act unruly in front of Gervis, because that was insubordination and even his own father could not protect him.
"Haha, how come what I said is wrong? Didn't Gervis become Alice's husband just because of shit luck? Others are afraid of your identity, but it has no effect on me!"
Kevin simply ignored Pat and continued to mock Gervis, because what Gervis did to him this morning had made Kevin hate him to the core. After all, he, Kevin, was the son of an earl, and when had he ever received such treatment, being compared to a lowly servant by a small baron.
"Who was it? It turned out to be Brother Trash. Why Brother Trash? I just told you this morning not to kneel down to others randomly. You acted like a servant and let people misunderstand you, which was beneath your status. Not only are you not grateful to me, but you are now biting me back. I deeply doubt your character!"
Gervis didn't care about Kevin's ridicule at all. This pretty boy wanted to steal his girl in the morning and now he dared to show up in front of him. Gervis didn't mind giving him another blow.
Kevin was immediately choked by Gervis' words and his face turned red. He didn't know how to fight back, so he clenched his hands and slowly touched his waist.
Seeing his move, Ma Shan also put his hand on the holster on his waist. As long as Kevin dared to attack first, Gervis would not hesitate to shoot him in the face with his musket, leaving him half-dead or even half-crippled.
At this time, Pat also came to Gervis' side and looked at the people opposite with a wary look on his face.
"So you are my cousin's husband. Since everyone knows each other, let's just leave it at that!"
Just when the tension between Gervis and Kevin was about to explode, the woman who had been silent behind Kevin came up, looked at Gervis, and then began to persuade him.
"Caroline, this pretty boy is not worthy of Alice. I guess he can't even afford the meal later. And I heard that his cultivation talent is rubbish. It's a waste to give him the monster meat. Why don't you talk to the manager of the manor and give us the five kilograms of monster meat directly."
After Caroline came forward, Kevin finally resisted the urge to draw his sword, but he continued to mock Gervis.
Snap
"Oops, sorry, I dropped something!"
However, as soon as Kevin finished speaking, a dark green gem fell from Gervis's hand and bounced several times on the luxurious carpet in the box before landing steadily.
At this time, Gervis seemed to find that he had dropped something, so he immediately picked up the dark green gem that fell from the ground. This was the Warcraft crystal that Gervis obtained when he killed the storm wolf. Gervis always carried this precious thing with him. After all, the Warcraft crystal was not like the elf bug. Once it was lost, it was really lost.
"Is this a monster crystal? Brother-in-law Gervis?"
Gervis threw things casually and picked them up quickly, but the people present all had cultivation experience and recognized what the dark green crystal was at the first sight. However, it was hard for them to believe that Gervis actually possessed a Warcraft crystal.
This is a rare treasure. For the poor little nobles, 100 gold coins are too expensive because they cannot afford it. But for the descendants of these great nobles, if they really need it, they are willing to buy it even if they have thousands of gold coins.
Gervis smiled but said nothing, and ignored Caroline's questions. He wiped the magic crystal by himself and then put it back in his arms.
"Who knows if this magical beast crystal was given to him by Alice?"
Thousands of gold coins are not a lot for a big family, but that is compared with the entire family. For a third son like Kevin, when he splits up in the future, he can get things from the family. In addition to the territory, the gold coins he can get may not even be eight or nine hundred gold coins.
But since he had already started a dispute with Gervis, Kevin couldn't just shut up now, otherwise he would appear to be the loser, so he immediately added another sentence.
"Oh, why did it fall again!"
But just as Kevin finished his words, something fell out of Gervis' arms again, and this time it was two Warcraft crystals. In addition to the dark green Warcraft crystal, there was also an emerald green Warcraft crystal!
"It seems I need to buy a bag to store it properly, otherwise it will fall out all the time and it will be troublesome! What do you think, Pat?"
Amid the shocked gazes of the crowd, Gervis picked up the two Warcraft crystals, put them in his arms, and asked Pat beside him.
"Gudong! Yes, it must be put away. Some people's eyeballs are about to fall out. Gervis, you must hide it well, don't let some treacherous villains steal it!"
Hearing Gervis' words, Pat swallowed his saliva first, then came to his senses, and nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice in response to Gervis' words. When talking about the treacherous villain, Pat deliberately emphasized his tone and looked at Kevin.
"Who are you talking about? Try saying it again."
Pat's target was particularly obvious. Kevin, who had been hit continuously by Gervis, finally became furious. He looked at Pat with red eyes and gritted teeth, and his right hand had already grasped the long sword.
"I'll tell whoever is the treacherous villain, why did you admit it yourself? If you have the guts, come and do it. I'll be afraid of you."
But Pat didn't buy it and immediately grabbed the sword at his waist to provoke him.
“That’s enough. This is Snowy Manor, our Lasom family’s property. If you want to take action, you can go to the street outside. I will never stop you. But if anyone dares to take action here, don’t blame me for being rude.
At this moment, Caroline, who originally looked like an elegant aristocratic lady, suddenly shouted coldly, stunning both Pat and Kevin.
"Baron Gervis, on behalf of Snowland Manor, I apologize to you for what happened today. Snowland Manor will not charge you for any of your consumption today as compensation for what happened today!"
After Pat and Kevin stopped, Caroline regained her elegant demeanor and spoke to Gervis with a smile, looking at him from time to time.
"We appreciate Miss Caroline's kindness, but we can still afford this meal. Now we just need Miss Caroline to promise not to have any annoying things interrupt our meal!"
Caroline is also quite delicate, with long wavy red hair and fair skin that is as fair as a baby's. With her exquisite facial features, she is also one of the most stunning beauties. Although she is still a little behind Alice, with her figure that cannot be covered by her dark blue dress, there are absolutely few men who can resist her temptation. After all, Alice's coldness is not something that ordinary people dare to approach.
Caroline saw the two Warcraft crystals dropped by Gervis and realized that Gervis was not as bad as the legend said, so she wanted to find a way to save Kevin.
But what Caroline didn't expect was that Gervis ignored her goodwill and directly rejected her kindness.
"Hmph, you don't know what's good for you. Miss Caroline apologized to you on behalf of Snowy Manor because of Alice's face. To us, your two magic beast crystals are just one or two shops in the east district of Winterfell."
At this moment, several people on the scene, including Carl who was arrogant just now, have lost their temper. After all, Gervez's background can suppress him. Now only Kevin still has resentment in his heart, and he doesn't need to worry about Gervez's identity, so he immediately ridicules Gervez.
This time, because Gervis rejected her kindness, Caroline did not say anything to stop Kevin, but just looked at Gervis with a frown.
"Haha, you really are such a haunted fly? Does your family have a shop in Winterfell? Can you make the decision?"
Gervis suddenly sneered and asked Kevin directly.
"Of course our Larkin family has a store in Winterfell. In addition to Winterfell, all the big cities in the earldom, including the king's, have stores belonging to our Larkin family!"
This topic finally gave Kevin confidence, so he spoke without hesitation about the business strength of the Larkin family in the Principality.
Because transportation in this world is difficult, every place has unique specialties, but ordinary small nobles cannot sell these specialties to the territories of other great nobles, because not only is the journey long, but they also need to pay taxes.
So the great nobles reached an agreement, that is, each great noble could buy a certain number of shops in the other's big city to sell their own things, and the taxes would be negotiated between the two parties, and some did not even have to pay taxes at all, so there were almost several earl family shops in every big city.
After talking about his family's business background, Kevin still felt that it was not enough to show off his momentum, so he continued, "One of the shops in the East District happens to be managed by me."
As he spoke, Kevin took out a small leather title deed from his arms and held it high, fearing that Gervis wouldn't be able to see it.
"Oh? I didn't realize that Brother Kevin Junk has some status in your family!"
Seeing the title deed Kevin took out and his confident look, Gervis' eyes lit up and an idea suddenly came to his mind. He looked at Kevin provocatively and said.
"Brother Garbage, do you dare to make a bet with me?"
Thanks to the book friend "Yuanxiang" for the reward!!!
