“Your Excellency Baron Adrian, you’ve arrived. How is Miss Evangeline doing? The child is indeed a very adorable little one.”

Byrne put down his book, nodded with a smile, his words leaving Adrian silent for a long time.

Adrian took a sip of tea and spoke, “Your Excellency Byrne, to be frank, because I’ve seen the tragic state of the entire Kesse family, I have no intention whatsoever to fight you guys.”

Byrne nodded and calmly responded:

“Hmm, I also think cooperation is better than fighting, and if our two families really start fighting, no matter the outcome, the Arwen family is bound to be erased from the world.”

Adrian frowned, remaining silent, waiting for Byrne to continue.

“Because you’re well aware of how much the Lion clan values the Fischer family, Viscount Garcia won’t be afraid, but your family certainly can’t afford Viscount Bast’s revenge.”

Indeed, that was the reason, and Adrian could only nod in resignation.

For many years, everyone in the East Coast Province had seen the lion clan’s support for the Fischer family, many found it extremely strange.

Why would Viscount Bast go to such lengths for Baron Byrne?

Many even suspected that Viscount Bast might be Byrne’s biological father, and the scarcely mentioned Lucius might just be a subordinate of the Lion clan. There were rumors that Viscount Bast desired to possess Byrne’s young and handsome body, having long been infatuated with him.

Frankly, Adrian found any of these reasons preposterous.

But no matter the reason, he dared not have a life-and-death struggle with the Fischer family.

“Even if we were to defeat you, we would simply be earning profits for Viscount Garcia, and too many of the Arwen family would die, with the risk of being taken over by Garcia’s Roarer clan at any time, which is not worth it.”

Adrian understood one thing very clearly, no matter how much the Arwen family sacrificed and bled on the frontlines, they would never be kin to Viscount Garcia.

In the end, they might become a knife that is discarded once used up.

“Since Your Excellency Adrian has thought this through, there should be no disagreements between us.”

Byrne, after listening, smiled and added, “However, you also need some ‘results’ to show Viscount Garcia, right?”

“Yes, indeed so.”

Adrian showed a wry smile, feeling very troubled. As it stood, the Arwen family was dependent on the Roarer clan; if Viscount Garcia found out he had come here to secretly form an alliance, it would be all over for them.

Moreover, he needed to present some “achievements.”

Byrne laughed heartily, waved his hand to reassure him and continued:

“It’s a simple matter. Once you leave here, I’ll release information that our factories in town have been sabotaged, causing them to halt production for a while. Then I’ll send someone to give your family a generous gift to ‘apologize’ and ‘submit’.”
