Chapter 696: Chapter 419: Forcibly Occupy the Official Residence_2

The revered Lords all thought and realized that it was indeed the case! They all knew very well that in an office like the Horizon Bureau, if a superior officer were to be cornered by a subordinate, it would be a very uncomfortable situation.

"So, as long as Owen Bertram enters the city, I, as the revered Lord, would go to talk to him. He still has Summit Metropolitan Office, which is his base. He does not have much energy to spare for the East Prison Town Comfort Office."

"If he is sensible, the portion that should be given to him, we will not withhold a single penny of it. In the future, he only needs to sit in the Summit Metropolitan Office, and he would be able to receive billions of Spirit Jade every year, what an easy way to earn money—who could refuse?!"

"If he is not sensible and insists on confronting us, then we will unite to let him experience our unity from top to bottom in the East Prison Town Comfort Office!"

At this point, Ryan Ronald put down the teacup, his eyes swept over the crowd with a cold and cruel light: "Don’t blame me for not explaining in advance, if anyone dares to disobey orders, or show weakness to that Owen Bertram, the Ronald Clan is aware of all your backgrounds!"

Several revered Lords repeatedly reassured: "Rest assured, Lord Algernon, we will absolutely not betray the Ronald Clan. But what about Benjamin Larkin and Kim Dean..."

"They have already agreed, there is no need for you to worry." Ryan Ronald lazily answered, finally, the few lords were able to relax.

Ryan Ronald was so confident partly because, after so many years of Lin Ronald’s management, the East Prison Town Comfort Office had indeed become a united front; secondly, he had received news from home that Lydia, the lady from the palace, still firmly supports the Ronald Clan, although they have not been able to contact the Seventh Prince, who is tightly protected by the Imperial City Department, and they are not sure why he "defected".

But as long as Lin Ronald, the Sixth Great Realm, is still alive, the Ronald Clan still has a solid foundation.

The Ronald Clan will not give up the East Prison Town Comfort Office easily; they need a massive amount of wealth to carry out their big plans with the Seventh Prince, and the primary source is the East Prison Town Comfort Office.

When everything was settled among these people, suddenly, a military officer rushed in: "Lord Algernon, Owen Bertram has entered the city!"

Ryan Ronald laughed heartily, slammed the table, and said: "Excellent! Among you, who is willing to go invite him over to divide the money?!"

The revered Lords exchanged glances, shirking from one another, this made Ryan Ronald furious: "Cowards!" He glared at one of them: "Dennis Winsome, you go."

"Huh?" Dennis Winsome was dumbfounded.

...

Owen Bertram arrived in Raleigh City, it was not a quiet arrival, but a message was sent in advance by Leroy Baker, therefore the revered Lords were anxious, dragging Ryan Ronald out from the splendid girl’s bed.

Not only did the East Prison Town Comfort Office know about it, but other offices in the city also received the news.

Early this morning, these officials and officers all came out to meet him. From the rank point of view, Owen Bertram of course, does not deserve such a grand reception, but he is from the Horizon Bureau which specifically nitpicks small issues. Therefore, everyone treated him with due respect, and postponed today’s public affairs, to see Owen Bertram as soon as possible, praying to him not to remember them.

However, they all noted that there was not a single person from the Horizon Bureau in the welcoming team!

Having been experienced in officialdom, they knew what this implied, and it filled their hearts with joy: We are not concerned about the internal struggle in the Horizon Bureau, the more intense the better.

Owen Bertram swept his eyes and understood, he casually exchanged pleasantries with these local officials— this gesture was to reassure them, indicating that he did not come with ill intentions against them.

Owen Bertram needed to focus on dealing with the affairs of the East Prison Town Comfort Office at the moment, and didn’t want to antagonize others.

So, after a dull and formal reception banquet, Owen Bertram made a graceful farewell to the local officials.

After seeing off Owen Bertram, the local officials also parted ways, some rode in carriages, some on horses, and some in carts. These local bigwigs in Raleigh City were insightful, very soon, their clever servants relayed the untold story to them.

"Owen Bertram went straight to the East Prison Town office?"

"Hehe, this Sir Owen Bertram really lives up to his reputation."

"The power struggle in the East Prison Town Comfort Office hit a climax at the onset, so exciting! Unfortunately, we officials can’t participate."

Indeed, Owen Bertram didn’t make any attempts to soften his arrival, and he headed straight to the East Prison Town Comfort Office. This somewhat violated the official unspoken rules of the Wood Dynasty.

The convention of the Wood Dynasty is: when an official arrives in the local area for duty, they settle in a station outside the city, to show their status and not seem eager. They wait for their subordinates to formally welcome them, and then move into their own office.

After the reception banquet, according to tradition, Owen Bertram was expected to stay in a hotel in the city. For instance, Dennis Winsome was waiting outside Raleigh City’s grand hotel.

The people at the East Prison Town Comfort Office were not prepared, it was not until Sir Owen arrived at the office that the military officers realized who had come.

Though Leroy Baker and the others did not understand the real reason which motivated Owen Bertram, they executed his orders without hesitation as soon as they were given! Surprisingly, the first one to rush out was not Leroy Baker, nor was it Greystone, but Wayne Malvin!

"You useless fools! East Prison Town Commander Lord has arrived, why aren’t you welcoming him!"

Wayne Malvin brandished his whip, and scattered the military officers in front of the office. Simultaneously, he pulled on the reins, the robust horse under him leaped, and in a majestic neigh, the horse’s front hooves shattered the two large doors of the office!
