Even if Duke Cavadia, as a doting father, wanted to increase investment, his half brothers and sisters would definitely try to slow him down.

The banquet was a resounding success.

The guests, who had personally seen Baron Hudson’s military strength, seemed to regain their confidence overnight, which had been previously undermined by the nobles of the Northern Border.

Everyone believed that as long as they united, they would have the strength to stand against the Nobles of the North in their county.

Even though, after incorporating Wharton County, the native nobles were still at a disadvantage.

But that didn’t matter, wasn’t there a baron from the Dalton family on the opposite side?

With a bit of support from their own clan within their sphere of power, they could easily turn the tables.

Especially those nobles who were previously forced to exchange their territory, they had accumulated a belly full of frustration and were eager to vent it out.

Despite not being impulsive enough to fight directly, the confidence to speak loudly returned instantly.

…

“Lord Longxi, as you can see, the Mountain Baron didn’t even invite me to his banquet, as his neighbour, I really have no status in his view.

Why don’t you find another entry point from somewhere else, find a noble with weight in his heart to be a mediator, the result might be …”

When things reached this point, Baron Katelai, who was unwilling to be a pawn, tried his best to struggle.

Although he did not know what sort of big business it was, he knew that these men were definitely not up to something good based on his understanding of them.

Getting involved in it would be absolutely harmful to him and would yield no benefits.

If he were to know things he shouldn’t have known, and these guys simply silenced him, it wasn’t entirely impossible.

“Enough kid, lead the way honestly upfront.

If you utter another unnecessary word, I will break your third leg first.

You shameless brat.

You’ve been a neighbour for almost half a year, and even did business several times, yet you still cannot manage to get a banquet invitation, I am ashamed for you!”

Longxi coldly reprimanded.

What he thought was an important piece turned out to be a useless one.

It felt as if he saw something that looked like a “cart”, but when he picked it up for a closer look, it turned out to be a “pawn” in disguise.

Under the murderous stare of the crowd, Baron Kailet led the group into the Mountain Domain with a hard scalp.

He could only swallow the bitterness and tears within him.

…

The atmosphere in the meeting hall became abruptly oppressive, as if the roof was about to collapse.

Guests were considered as friends, Hudson originally thought that Kailet was bringing people over to discuss matters about the delivery of goods, he was very enthusiastic about hosting them.

But after a brief interaction, he quickly discovered that was not the case.

Especially Baron Kailet, who at this moment, like a servant attending to his ancestors, carefully trailed behind a man dressed in purple.

This alone made him suspicious.

Gentlemen, unlike us from the Southeastern Province, I wonder why you have come here in such a large group, for what purpose?”

Hudson pretended to be surprised as he asked.

As for Baron Kailet, ever since his dramatic entrance, Hudson dismissed him.

His intuition told him that this visit was not about business, but trouble.

However, with no past grudges and no recent resentment, Hudson couldn’t figure out what kind of trouble could be knocking at his door at this time.

Even if the Koslow family had a messy past in the Northland, that was a century-old matter.

No matter how deep the enmity runs, it wouldn’t take them a hundred years later to seek revenge.

“Baron Hudson, you are too polite.

We are here today, with many people making an unannounced intrusion, primarily because we want to make a big deal with you.

A big deal worth over three hundred thousand gold coins.

Once this deal is done, all the economic difficulties you currently face will be solved.”

Listening to the words of the man in purple, Hudson’s face turned sour in an instant.

So, the news of his towering debt had spread from the Southeastern Province to the Northland.

Without guessing, he knew it was a leak, and gave an angry glance at Baron Kailet.

Among the dozen or so people present, he was the only familiar face, and he happened to know about the debt situation of the Mountain Domain, making him the prime suspect.

“Three hundred thousand gold coins, indeed a big deal.

But why should I get such a good deal?

All that Mountain Domain can offer are just some iron tools.

Throughout the entire Alpha Kingdom, whether in terms of iron production or iron quality, we are not notable.”

Hudson said with a blank face.

He indeed liked big business, but only legitimate business.

He has accepted unknown business before, but those were small deals.

Even if there were some problems, overall risk was still under control.

Now, this is clearly different.

A large order worth three hundred thousand gold coins is estimated to make a big noise as soon as it is delivered.

Now, there were many people keeping an eye on the Mountain Domain.

Hudson didn’t believe he could quietly complete this huge deal under the noses of so many insightful individuals.

“Baron Hudson, you don’t need to be so agitated.

It’s normal to worry about the risks when you encounter such a big deal.

The reason we chose you is very simple.

We need to customize a large number of weapons.

Across the entire Alpha Kingdom, the weapon quality of the Mountain Domain is the worst!”

After listening to the explanation, Hudson almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Laying bare one’s shortcoming as soon as they met, could any pleasant conversation still be possible?

Is it because he didn’t want to sell good weapons?

It was simply because he didn’t dare!

Though Master Hudson was capable of producing better quality iron, for safety reasons, he chose to earn less to do so.

If it wasn’t for his selfless dedication, the serf soldiers of the Southeastern province wouldn’t even dream of using iron weapons.

Without weapons, how could they fulfill everyone’s dreams of armored horses and iron soldiers?

It should be noted that in previous fights, serf soldiers were left out.

Even if involved, they could only be referred to as being part of a gang fight.
