Chapter 66: Reciprocity
Lacas is not surprised by Willy's humility and courtesy. He has had contacts with Baron Kells, and he is very clear that Lord Baron does not like arrogant people. If Willy's eyes are higher than the top, Baron Kells will not value him. .
"Mr. Willie, lunch is ready, please move."
Nobles and big businessmen have always had three meals a day, and they even have delicious pastries as a late night snack. They don't need to worry about money and food, everything is abundant.
In the splendid dining room, a long table was placed in the middle.
There are only three seats in front of the table, and on both sides of the table, there are servants standing. They wear pure white gloves and are responsible for passing the food to the front of the seats.
Accompanied by Lacus and Finlay, Willy sat at the table.
Even Willy, who had dinner with Bamos, had to sigh how tempting the food in front of him was.
Chicken salad, grilled prawns in tomato sauce, mutton braised in oil, plain flour pudding, assorted platters, pickled cucumber soup, fish milk soup, butter chicken rolls, char-grilled lobster... There are also some dishes that Willy does not know. Thinking of the first meal he ate in this world, Willy suddenly felt as if he had passed away.
Lacas and Finlay were obviously accustomed to these foods, and naturally took the knife and fork in their hands. The maids stepped forward and gently tied the silky napkins around their necks for the three Willys.
Willy suddenly thought of the impoverished Fandoutun under his control, and realized that he still had a lot of work to do.
"I don't know if these dishes suit your taste, Mr. Willie."
Since the appearance of Lacas, Finlay has not taken the initiative to speak much, and has been following behind Lacas, becoming a secondary character.
"It's rich and delicious."
Willy put a piece of grilled lobster cut by the maids into his mouth. The crispy skin and the tender inside were mixed with a touch of juice, which made Willy unable to extricate himself for a while. The desire to speak is really hard to resist.
Lacas didn't show any contempt because of Willy's enjoyment of food. Although this young man used to be a country boy he couldn't see, but now and in the future, he will become one of the most powerful people in Diamond Town. one.
Lacas showed a far superior social skills than Finlay. He and Willy talked eloquently, the topics were moderate, and the words were full of humor and interest. The two seemed to chat a lot, but after a while, there was nothing substantial. This is the real social master, who doesn't tell the truth and doesn't explore, but still gives people a feeling like a spring breeze.
Willy also changed his views on the big businessmen. He originally thought that such people depended on the help of nobles to be strong. Now, it seems that they are real people who can deal with various nobles.
"Mr. Willie, I have a question I want to ask you..."
The atmosphere was almost set off, and Lacas spoke without a trace.
When Willy heard the words, the movements in his hand slowly stopped, and the pleasant expression of the previous conversation gradually subsided. He has the life experience of the previous life, and he won't really be coaxed around by Lacas' words like a little furry child.
Seeing Willy's performance like this, Lakas has taken Willy to a new level. He can also play at critical moments when he is in the play. Even if he is from a big family like Finlay, it is difficult to do this. as natural. If he didn't know Willy's previous identity, he even doubted that Willy really was the descendant of a desolate aristocrat.
"Please speak."
Willy took a sip of red wine and smoothed his throat.
"Is the situation really complicated about the assassination of Lord Kells?"
Lacas didn't hide anything, but the question was very clever, and he didn't directly name the friction between the two countries.
As one of the leaders of the Divar family, he has access to some non-top core information in Stormwind Town, but this matter involves the Baron of Diamond Town, and some key information is not available to Lacas. But because of the sizeable business in Diamond Town, he had to figure this out.
If the assassination of Baron Kells involves friction between the two countries, the business scope of the Duval family will need to be adjusted. It's not the withdrawal of Diamond Town, because the survival of the Divar family has been united with Diamond Town and Stormwind Town. It's just that if it is confirmed that the friction between the two countries is involved, the assassination of the baron can be regarded as a signal that a war has started.
Once the war starts, the baronial territories behind the front line will become the biggest supply resource points. As the largest medicinal herbs dealer in the three towns, if he can provide a steady stream of wound medicine during this period, he will not only gain huge wealth, but also win the admiration of the barons and even the count of Rumbar. In Lacas' eyes, any turmoil is an opportunity.
Willy pondered for a while, but did not answer immediately.
There was a brief silence at the table.
"Two days ago, Mr. Ole personally went to meet Count Rumbar in person."
Willie lowered his voice, using only the voice that three people could hear until the end.
Willy didn't know exactly what information he found out from the female assassin's mouth. But Ole met himself once before he left. During that conversation, Ole revealed something. The assassination of Baron Kells was behind the Principality of Vata. It is precisely because of this that he was summoned by Count Rumbar himself.
As for Ole's going to meet Count Rumbar, Baron Naondo of Stormwind Town should know, but due to the sensitivity of the matter, and this is what happened in Diamond Town, so he didn't in Diamond Town. spread among the dignitaries. Therefore, this information does not need to be too confidential.
"so……"
Lacas' eyes lit up, Willy said nothing, but it was enough for him.
"Thank you."
Lacas drank the red wine on the table, and his evaluation of Willy increased.
Since Willy can answer this question, he can also see from the side that he can already relate to the core news of Diamond Town. At least Ole and Baron Kells really didn't treat him as an outsider.
Finlay followed his father and drank the red wine from the glass.
Willy smiled and put all the red wine in the glass into his stomach.
Lacas turned to look at the old housekeeper beside him and gave him a look.
The old butler understood, nodded secretly, and then turned to leave.
Willie didn't look away, as if he didn't see anything.
After a while, the old guard walked into the restaurant with two guards.
The two guards hugged an exquisite wooden box. The box was two meters long and half a meter wide. It seemed to contain something.
Lakas smiled slightly, and the courtesy was exchanged. Willy gave him the news, and he had to give it back.
