Chapter 554: Chapter 380: Assassination_1

At breakfast, Owen Bertram asked Ferdinand, "Elder, can your Lioyd Sect take over the production of the Flying Carriage Palaces for the Emperor’s tour?"

Ferdinand said, "This is an easy task, although it is a huge project, it isn’t that challenging. However, how would the Imperial Court allow us from Lioyd Sect to land this contract?"

Ferdinand, being a distinguished figure in the Sixth Great Realm, had an acute understanding of the situation. The Emperor’s tour would mean a substantial profit for the relevant departments of the Imperial Court, they would not let such a "good opportunity" to manufacture the Flying Carriage Palaces fall into the hands of outsiders.

Owen Bertram chose not to elaborate at the moment: "That’s good as long as you can produce it."

After breakfast, Officer Bertram went to find Andrew Oamond, "Mr. Oamond, where does Leroy Baker live?"

"Spring Tide Pavilion, outside Yetta City."

Only when Owen Bertram arrived at the Spring Tide Pavilion did he realize what kind of place it was, which made him a little awkward.

"No wonder Catherine can’t stand you!" Upon meeting Leroy Baker, Owen Bertram complained: "You booked the entire Spring Tide Pavilion, attracting the attention of the entire capital with your extravagance. Which girl would dare associate with you?"

Leroy Baker was stunned, slapping his forehead: "Wow, I didn’t think about that."

Then, in a reckless manner, he said, "Since you’re here, have some fun..." As he spoke, he was about to push the two charming girls beside him towards Owen Bertram. Owen Bertram slapped him on the head, "Send them away. I have important matters to discuss with you."

Leroy Baker touched his head and grimaced, probably murmuring something like "prude". Officer Bertram raised his hand again, making Leroy Baker retract his neck and hurriedly dismissed the girls.

Owen Bertram activated the "Soundproof Barrier" and said to Leroy Baker, "The Emperor is set to tour after the Dragon and Snake List announcement, your Gavin Clan is aware of it, right?"

Leroy Baker nodded, "Of course we are aware of this important matter."

"Have you ever thought about doing something at this time?"

Leroy Baker was puzzled, "This is a state matter, what can our business do?"

"On His Majesty’s journey, if everything he uses, including the Flying Carriage Palaces, carries the label of your Gavin Clan, you don’t need me to tell you the benefits." What Owen Bertram wanted to discuss with Leroy Baker was called "sponsorship".

Leroy Baker pondered for a moment, his eyes sparkled.

Using Gavin Clan’s money to order Flying Carriage Palaces from Lioyd Sect. If they directly gave money to the Imperial Court, their expenses would significantly increase. Owen Bertram can’t deceive the Gavin Clan.

The Emperor is orchestrating all this nonsense just so he can put on a show and tour with dignity. Officer Bertram has solved the biggest cost issue, given the nature of the Emperor, he would likely get carried away and overlook other matters. Even the death of a Eunuch is a trivial matter and he would not relentlessly pressure the Horizon Bureau to solve the case.

This is the most suitable method to resolve future troubles.

Abner Lane’s suggestion for Owen Bertram to kill the Eunuch was not to prevent the Emperor from going on a tour; Owen Bertram’s main aim in helping the Emperor tour is those Flying Carriage Palaces— which will be greatly useful in the future— and it indirectly solves the aftermath of the assassination of the eunuch.

After Owen Bertram had discussed these matters, he left the Spring Tide Building. The frivolous and roguish look on Leroy Baker’s face disappeared, replaced by a profound look, "Officer Bertram suddenly arranging this, what’s his intentions?"

...

The decision on who to send to Amanda Academy has sparked a competition within the palace. The top eunuchs didn’t care about this trifling matter as they knew it was an opportunity with risks.

How much money they can squeeze out of those thirty people, no one is sure.

If the figure is insufficient, His Majesty wouldn’t be able to tour in splendid style and would vent his anger on the person in charge for not doing a good job.

But those eunuchs eager for promotion want to seize this opportunity. After fierce competition, this old eunuch eventually got this opportunity.

After he stationed the imperial cultivators in Amanda Academy, he spent all his energy scouring money for the emperor. In the past few days, he had reached agreements with two cultivators guaranteeing them a place in the B-list in return for a total of 2.6 million Spirit Jade - this amount is far from enough. The Eunuch was anxious and had his junior eunuchs visit the thirty cultivators individually over these few days.

All these junior eunuchs returned tonight. The results were not bad. Those chic cultivators were willing to pay. The difference was that some people were ambitious and were willing to spend a lot of money to get a good ranking. Some people felt disdainful of this practice, but they were also willing to pay to evade trouble, by offering a specific amount to keep the eunuch from harboring resentment against them.

The only junior eunuch who came in last was crying with a wronged expression, "Great Eunuch, I was ordered to see Owen Bertram. Who expected him to avoid me, I was told that he had gone out early in the morning, I was instructed to wait in the reception room all day. It was evening when he came out, and the moment I mentioned the purpose of my visit, he scolded and drove me out.

Great Eunuch, it’s nothing that I suffered a bit of grievance, but we were doing things on behalf of His Majesty. He is not humiliating me, but humiliating you, the Great Eunuch, and His Majesty!"

The Eunuch snorted coldly, "Owen Bertram, that Summit Commandant?"

"Exactly him!"

"Heh, he really thinks of himself as something? Ignorant!"

He immediately wrote a report about everything that happened today and had it sent back to the palace. As for the attitude of Owen Bertram, he naturally exaggerated a bit. He believed that when His Majesty saw it, he would be furious. Owen Bertram would not only enjoy no favorable position in the Palace Examination, but also, after the completion of the Dragon and Snake List, his position as Summit Commandant would probably be stripped away by His Majesty!
