Chapter 380 - Three Mistakes
"Commander Casa, did you know that you made three of the biggest mistakes in your life in just one hour? Firstly, you were blinded by benefits. Secondly, you were careless. Thirdly, you didn"t know what was good for you."
Lei Luo was lying on the sofa. He had one hand on his head and the other stretched out three fingers at Casa.
"I don"t need to tell you that you are blinded by benefits. And the so-called carelessness is that you didn"t realize it when you reached an agreement with me. I only told you the amount of the reward, but I didn"t promise you the time to pay for your revenge. Therefore, from a legal point of view, you have no right to accuse me of breaking the contract. As for the fact that you don"t know what"s good for you, that is because you overestimated your own value first. After discovering the cruel truth, you didn"t dare to face it bravely. And most importantly, do you think that you can solve the problem by pointing your sword at me? As long as I kill you with this sword, I can at least wash away the shame of being deceived by you.
"That"s where you"re wrong. Since the ancient times, which person hasn"t been deceived? Even our great emperor Victor has been deceived by many people, hasn"t he?"
"From this, it can be seen that being deceived by others is not a disgrace. Being deceived by others and not knowing how to reflect on yourself is a disgrace. I can tell with one look that you"re ambitious and want to stand out."
"But to say something cruel, Commander Casa, with your current level, when will you be able to stand out in your lifetime?"
"You..."
"Don"t be agitated. Lei Luo"s words are unpleasant to hear, but they are definitely advice to you."
"Advice my a.s.s! You guys tricked me into coming here and ruined my entire life! You still have the nerve to say that you were simply giving me advice?"
"You can"t say that. Someone once said that a person"s potential is unlimited. But if you don"t force him, you might be unknown for the rest of your life. If you force him, you might become a big shot."
"Take you for example. If you hadn"t experienced what happened today, you would have been a centurion at most. However, after what happened today, you might have become a great being."
"Great being, my a.s.s! I have no other choice but to rely on you guys now."
"However, the East G.o.d Alliance used to be very strong. However, after the death of its leader, the entire alliance was forced to disband by the Dark Dragon Alliance."
"In the past, all the members had to go their separate ways in order to survive. Even Allie"s brother, Samar, was no exception. What hope do you think there is in living like this?"
"Fool, who said that we are going to follow Samar? We clearly have a good path to follow now."
Lei Luo raised his eyebrows and sat up straight. He looked at Casa and smiled.
"You want to hit on me again?"
His smile made Casa"s hair stand on end.
He was so scared that he took a few steps back.
"Look at you. Can I still rape you? But since we know each other, I"ll show you the way," Lei Luo said and pointed at Morton.
"Although I"m a fake Duke, the former boss of Morton Trading Company is real, right?"
"Of course he"s real. If he"s not real, how could I fall for your trick so easily?"
Casa said as he looked at Morton with some resentment.
Logically speaking, Morton and Lei Luo"s responsibilities were similar.
But for some reason, Casa instinctively felt that Lei Luo was the instigator of everything.
The resentment naturally shifted to Lei Luo.
His hatred towards Morton was very weak.
"Look, all of your equipment, supplies, and horses are currently worth around 20,000 to 30,000 gold coins. If you were to sell them on the market, you would naturally not be able to sell them for that price."
"But if you were to sell these things to a thief who desperately needed weapons, then it would not only be worth that price. You could sell them for at least 40,000 gold coins. That would not be a problem. 40,000 gold coins is enough for you to eat, drink, prost.i.tute, and gamble for the rest of your life."
"But looking at you, of course, you"re not just satisfied with prost.i.tution and gambling. Of course, that"s not a problem. We have a top financial expert in the entire empire. As long as you give him the money, in ten to twenty years, won"t your city be settled?"
"I don"t believe your plan. You"re exaggerating. You"re just trying to trick me into giving you everything in the end."
"Then you have to remember what you said today. It"s not that I"m not willing to fulfill my promise, but you"re the one who turned it down."
As Lei Luo said this, there was a knock on the door.
Without waiting for the person inside to respond, the person outside had already pushed the door open and entered.
It was Princess Allie.
"Can I come in?"
"Aren"t you talking nonsense? You only asked when you walked in. Don"t tell me we"re going to chase you out?"
Allie ignored Lei Luo"s glib tongue and asked directly, "If I say I want to take you guys as my subordinates, would you be willing?"
"Huh?"
Lei Luo and the others were a little surprised.
Although they all thought that Allie was not bad and was a beauty, being a subordinate of a beautiful woman was another matter.
"Princess, this matter can be big or small. Do you think it"s real or fake?"
Lei Luo asked this question on behalf of the other three people who were present.
"I"ve been thinking about this for a long time. It"s just that I haven"t been able to find anyone to help me. Today, I was fated to meet you guys. I feel that I have the courage to go and have some common sense."
"If you want to say something, just say it."
"Do you know why Ulysses wants me so badly?"
Allie walked over to the sofa in the middle of the room and sat down. She happened to be sitting opposite Lei Luo.
Morton leaned against the door and blinked his eyes as he said casually, "Do you even need to say that? Of course he would be interested in your beauty. There should also be a reason for the East G.o.d Alliance that you represent, right?"
If it wasn"t for the fact that he was relatively fat, his posture would have affected his beauty.
"This is why I"m willing to work with you because you"re all smart people..."
"That"s right. My father is the leader of the East G.o.d Alliance and can be considered a member of the royal family. He"s different from other men. He"s an infatuated person. Ever since my mother died, he hasn"t had any women."
"So, my father doesn"t have many children. Other than me, he only has three sons."
"I originally thought that this would make it easier for our family to compete for the inheritance compared to other families."
