Chapter 336 Lathel and Miconia

Of course, no cake falls from the sky. Laura agreed to help him on one condition...

At this time, Laura came to collect her reward.

After all, he is just a small supporting character. To be able to resist the power of the male protagonist, he needs to utilise all the relationships around him.

Laura is one of the best tools at his disposal. But she is also a double-edged sword. If he doesn\'t use it well, the first person she kills will be him.

Laura smiled and said: "Lathel... I did so well; you have to reward me."

"Of course, what do you want?"

"Hahahaha… like I said from the beginning…" Laura used her beautiful finger to point at the middle of his chest: "I want… you."

Lathel heard that and shook his head: "No... at most... just a kiss."

"Tsk!" Laura clicked her tongue, she immediately pressed Lathel onto the sofa, and her hands quickly locked his hands.

"Lathel… you have no other choice." Laura smiled greedily as she spoke. She looked at him like a hungry wolf, looking at a piece of fresh meat.

However, Lathel only sighed at this moment: "It\'s not good for you to do this. You can be happy right now, but in the future... I will no longer cooperate with you."

Laura frowned: "Are you threatening me, man?"

"I\'m not threatening you; I\'m just telling the truth." Lathel stared into Laura\'s eyes, his eyes carrying a challenge rather than worry or fear.

Laura grinned, then slowly let him go. She turned around and left. Before completely leaving the room, she left a sentence: "I will sum up everything I have done for you, then ask for a bigger reward."

Lathel saw that Laura had left and just sighed. He stood up, adjusted his clothes as if nothing had ever happened, and went out.

Outside the living room, Akna stood still and waited for him. Lathel saw Akna and asked: "Did you hear what happened inside?"

Akna nodded: "I heard everything."

"You think I\'m a disgusting person, right?" Lathel forced a smile: "Using people as a tool to serve my own purposes... I even find myself disgusting."

"No, young master." Akna shook her head: "If Laura didn\'t know your intentions, that would be disgusting."

"However, she knew, and she agreed to work for you. That means she is like your servant; there is nothing disgusting here."

"Young master, don\'t worry about what others think of you. No matter what you do, I will support you."

Hearing that, Lathel nodded. He gently caressed Akna\'s face, smiled, and said: "Let\'s go back."

…

After returning to the castle, Lathel locked himself in his office; however, Alec was different.

At this time, Sakuth had returned to his castle.

He sat on the sofa tiredly, feeling like he had lived in hell today.

"Damn it! What happened today? I remember very clearly that I never provoked her; why did she cause trouble with me?"

"Could it be… my father\'s enemy?"

"Impossible. Even though he was an Earl, he lived a very simple life, without many enemies."

Sakuth used two fingers to rub his temples, as he felt like they were about to explode.

He stood up and slowly walked towards Alec\'s room. Now, only Alec could ease his pain.

Sakuth didn\'t want to knock on the door; he directly pushed the door and went inside. Seeing Alec still sleeping, he frowned, feeling a bit strange.

"The medicinal power of the medicine is not strong enough to keep him asleep until now."

"Could it be… ah, maybe I was too rough, so I made him too tired."

Sakuth lifted the blanket, and when he saw the blood underneath, his face was red, as if he were feeling extremely excited.

He licked his lips, smiled, and said greedily: "Alec, I will train you and turn you into my man..."

"Hahahaha… hahahaha…"

…

The next morning, Lathel tiredly left the office. At this moment, he felt like an owl, sleeping during the day and working at night.

However, yesterday there were many harvests that made him feel excited, so he stayed up almost all of last night.

Besides that, he also trained in the \'Simulation Space\' and trained with Viva in his energy space.

That\'s why, even though it was just an ordinary evening, it seemed like he had gone through five days.

Lathel returned to the bedroom, not paying attention to anything else, and immediately fell asleep.

At noon, even though he was sleeping, he felt like someone was staring at him, making him uncomfortable.

Lathel slowly opened his eyes. He saw Akna looking at him and smiled: "Do you want to look at me?" Do you want to take a closer look?"

Akna knew what Lathel wanted her to do, so she blushed and said softly: "Young master, Miconia has arrived."

"Ah! She really came at the right time." Lathel sighed.

Akna asked confusedly: "Young master, don\'t you feel surprised?"

"Hm?! Why the surprise?"

"Because Miconia abandoned her arrogance to come to you. That said, she really failed to keep Karol Auction Centre in business."

Hearing Akna speak, Lathel slowly sat up, smiling and explaining: "Akna, Karol Auction Centre sounds like a normal building, but its area is extremely large."

"It wouldn\'t be wrong to say… That place is a mini-kingdom. Maintaining an auction centre is very different from maintaining a kingdom."

"But…" Akna frowned and asked: "She can change it by not allowing anyone to enter that place, right?"

Lathel shook her head: "That\'s impossible."

He stood up, and Akna began to help him change clothes.

At this time, Lathel continued to explain: "If she wants to develop, she cannot rely only on maintaining the Auction Centre business; she must also develop that place into a large business location."

"To develop, she needs a lot of people. However, the Empire did not allow her to attract too many merchants; in the end, she had to use the sole function of the territory she possessed."

"Freedom."

"It will be a place for criminals, tax evasion goods, and adventurers looking to buy banned substances to operate."

"Miconia is too confident in her abilities and the strength of her army. Even though she may be safe, the possibility of that place developing is almost zero."

"So… why does she keep doing this without changing?" Akna asked while adjusting Lathel\'s outfit.

Lathel smiled and said: "Because she believes she can use her power to suppress all the criminals in her territory."

"However, she was wrong. They may be acting normally in front of them, but she cannot know how many of them are deceiving her."

"She cannot change her business methods, nor can she stop doing business. In the end, her territory turned into a haven for criminals."

"So… young master, do you have a way to solve these problems?" Akna asked.

Lathel suddenly looked out the window, sighed, and said: "Of course there is a solution, but... I\'m just testing."

"To be more precise… I don\'t think it will be successful. However, if it succeeds, it will attract countless gold coins."

Akna also nodded and said: "Young master, although I don\'t know what method you plan to use, if you need any help, I and the other servants are ready to serve you."

Lathel smiled and hugged Akna: "Ah! Akna, you are truly so adorable."

Akna also did not resist, feeling the warmth and masculine scent emanating from his body.

…

Miconia and the old housekeeper waited in the living room for more than 30 minutes but still did not see Lathel appear.

A moment later, the door opened, and Lathel and Akna entered.

"Sorry, I was a bit busy, so I can\'t see you right away." Lathel walked and talked, then sat across from Miconia.

Akna followed, standing behind him.

Miconia frowned at Akna and said contemptuously: "If you eat awkwardly, you have to know how to wipe your mouth."

Akna was startled, touching her mouth. There was still a drop of slimy milky liquid left, so she quickly used a handkerchief to wipe it away.

However, Lathel was not embarrassed at all. On the contrary, he smiled and said extremely confidently: "That\'s not cheating, do you understand?"

"Tsk!" Miconia clicked her tongue, her face showing disgust: "Shameless!"

"That\'s right, if you don\'t want to cooperate with someone like me, then please go back. The door is open, you can leave anytime you want." Lathel shrugged and said.

"You…"

The old butler immediately placed his hand on Miconia, reassuring her.

Miconia took a deep breath, frowned, and said: "I came to accept our cooperation."

Lathel had no reaction when he heard that. He used one hand to support his face, as the other tapped on the table.

Miconia felt uncomfortable and said: "I agreed to cooperate; why are you still silent?"

Lathel frowned and glanced at Miconia. His eyes were so cold and sharp that they scared her.

"Miconia, you should know that… You need me, but I don\'t need you. Your attitude… makes me feel uncomfortable."

Lathel\'s cold words rang out. Miconia gritted her teeth, her hands clenched so tightly that they turned white: "What do you want?"

"Change your attitude. You should be begging me, not commanding me." Lathel frowned and said: "If you keep that attitude, then go away. I can find other people to cooperate with."

"I will also tell you one thing… if I find someone to cooperate with, your auction centre will definitely not last long."

"I will let that place become mine. As for you… at that time, I\'m afraid you won\'t even be qualified to sit across from me ."
