Tai Vallon was a little excited and asked, "The cultivation potion of rank 4 can be traded now?"

"If you need it," Sunderland stroked the ring on his finger and said, "But I think you have more important things to do now."

"what?"

Sunderland smiled and said, "Your 'marriage contract' is about to be signed?"

Tai Vallon's expression was unpleasant, and he hummed, "If you have anything to say, just say it!"

"Rumours out there now are that you're engaged to Miss Winnie Reitlang...not only in Spursey, but even in Baron Reitlang's Helen Town, there's been similar news." San Derain stopped a firefly to his fingertips, seeming to pay more attention to the starlight on its tail.

Tai Vallon clenched his fists and said coldly, "The truth is, that Miss Rylant and I are not yet engaged!"

Sunderland waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter what the real situation is. What matters is that the spread of this rumor will leave you with no choice."

Reputation is the nobility's code. Even if some tricks are played in private, everyone is a face-saving person.

This rumor involves a noble lady. If the final marriage contract is not signed, even if Baron Rylant's power is not as powerful as that of Marquis Arendine, even if he has a mild temper, it is estimated that something big will happen.

And the Marquis of Allentine, there is a high probability that he would not deal with such troublesome matters for his three sons, not to mention that this matter was his decision from the beginning.

Engagement and fulfillment of the marriage contract are almost a certainty.

For Taiwalon, if it was in the past, it might have been smooth sailing, but now...

Heh, how could he be willing to marry a local minor noble and ruin his future in the Alendine family?

Sunderland's entry point left Tai Vallon with nowhere to hide. He gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "This must be the guy's handwriting."

Sunderland laughed under her white face, spread her hands and said, "I really admire your big brother."

Taiwalon glared angrily and called out, "What do you mean?"

Sunderland didn't care about his expression, but said to himself: "To deal with your 'fragile' opponent, he does not show any mercy, nor does he despise him. The lion who is willing to use all his strength to hunt sheep must be the strongest, The scariest lion ever."

As if thinking of something, he laughed out loud: "Also, I heard that he did a good job as Marquis Arendine's deputy. He was great both internally and externally. Why don't you think I appreciate him?"

But Taiwalon suddenly calmed down and fell silent.

In Sunderland's half-smiling eyes, Tai Vallon said in a low voice, "He's always been great."

From childhood to adulthood.

Tai Vallon's little self-esteem did not allow him to speak nonsense with his eyes open.

The family factor is only a small part of the current situation. The most important thing is that he has been shrouded in that shadow since he was a child, and it seems that he has never seen the sun.

After a while, Taiwalon raised his head and said seriously, "What do you want to say, just say it."

Sunderland shook off the firefly on his finger and said calmly, "Do you want to change the current situation?"

Without hesitation, Taiwalon said directly, "Of course."

He understood what the other party meant, and could roughly guess the other party's purpose.

The crane cloak on his body, the white mask on his face... This man named 'Andy' is a member of an organization, and this organization wants to invest in himself.

Taiwalon does not reject this kind of thing, or in other words, in the noble circle, interests are the core rule, and it is good that he is willing to organize investment in his current situation.

So he has no psychological pressure.

"Hey," Sunderland raised the corner of his mouth: "How is your relationship with the second sister?"

"Not good." Taivalon's eyes immediately became suspicious, and he said solemnly, "It's impossible if you want to open up the situation from her. She, like my eldest brother... hates me."

Sunderland didn't seem to understand the suspicion in the other party's words, and said calmly, "What about her relationship with your elder brother?"

Tai Vallon's heart skipped a beat, and said, "There is no family relationship at all, Ophelie also covets the position of Marquis, and their connection is more based on interests."

The nobility of the Wagner Empire did not have the so-called eldest son system, but a "one-word hall", and the heir to the title was decided by the older generation.

Women's status in Wagner's empire is not high, but it does not mean that they cannot inherit titles. There is even a duchess in the empire.

As for Taivalon's second sister, Ophelie Arendine, she is nearly 30 years old this year and has not yet signed a marriage contract. This has explained a lot, not only her meaning, but also the thoughts of Marquis Arendine.

Ophelia, who controls the Sapphire Chamber of Commerce, has power beyond imagination.

"Don't be deceived by appearances." Sunderland smiled and said, "Neither your elder brother nor your second sister are rambunctious characters. Such obvious loopholes are not necessarily true."

Taiwalon thought for a few seconds, but did not refute.

No matter what, they were born from the same mother. How can the real relationship really not be seen on the surface? What if the so-called title dispute is fake?

That's what the Marquis of Arendine wanted to see. Maybe these two are just playing for the Marquis?

"Then what do you want to do?" Taiwalon affirmed the other party's idea.

"It needs to be tested... No, maybe it needs to be tested a few times." Sunderland smiled mysteriously.

"..."

After Tai Vallon left, Sunderland stood on the top of the mountain and looked at Spurzi with the lights in front of him, silently saying to himself: "Our mentor, Mr. ~lightnovelpub.net~ is probably eyeing the big fish of the Sapphire Chamber of Commerce. ."

A big fish with abundant channels and prominent status.

The smile on Sunderland's mouth grew bigger and bigger, and he laughed: "Under Mr. Tutor, we are the 'players of chess'!"

......

On the other hand, Aldridge arrived at the Port of Toronto in the early hours of the 25th.

His first impression of this city is undoubtedly very bad - it is a port city, a freight distribution center, and the mess is unbearable.

Spurse’s port is also dense with freight, but as a star city and a tourist capital in the southern part of the empire, how could it be too dirty? Even the port is a delight to watch.

But the Port of Toronto obviously does not have such romance. The port operates 24 hours a day, and the hygiene situation can be imagined.

Not only the port, but also the city, where people are too busy.

Aldrich slightly changed his appearance, wearing rags and carrying a suitcase to leave the port, instead of looking for a hotel, he directly found a tavern near the port that was open all night, there were too many of these taverns.

Of course, it's a long night, and a glass of dark beer is still needed.

In the message, Master Ferro only stated the time to arrive at the port of Dorenco, and did not indicate the mode of transportation, but the possibility of taking the water route is much higher than the possibility of taking the land route.

The only long-distance land transportation is steam trains, but the train station is densely populated, so there are naturally many "eye lines".
