BXBX NOVEL Chapter 249 - Bribing Them To Work Harder
"Be prepare. I want to go out." Desmond continued while wearing his clothes, took his sword on his waist, and then glanced at the small window for a moment before turning his head.
Eventually, Annie and Laura looked at each other and smiled while tidying up their clothes and then began walking in elegant behind their master.
* squeak *
As Desmond pulled up the door, the door made a squeaking sound that caught the people\'s attention. Many eyes were staring at him for a moment before they casually look away.
Desmond was already used to this as he took a step forward. Right then, his eyes also noticed their path to the Helmfirth city was blocked by the boulders of rocks. He silently took note of this and continue strolling around.
He was still annoyed with the system that naming his new race. However, deep inside his heart, he was satisfied and proud! Being a dragon was a fantasy for all boys!
He could imagine his massive body flying into the sky and spreading terror into the other; that would look so cool coupled with his hard scales that defected most of the attacks and his breath that could spit out a lump of fire.
Desmond did not realize he was grinning ear to ear as he strolled around; as a result, making the passers look at him strangely.
While Laura and Annie already noticed this and were excited to see it. Nevertheless, they could not disobey his commands, only to walk side by side to observe his expression.
Most of the passers were soldiers carrying their pieces of bread on their hands or carrying a bucket of water. The mercenaries were camping in their camps with their reserved food unlike the soldiers.
After a moment of dazed, Desmond arrived near the camps with his maids. The horse-drawn carriages were parked in the front, making them need to walk a few minutes to arrive at the camps.
Desmond\'s eyes began to roam around the surroundings and found the mercenaries Corps Of Teleknights camp was built not too far from the soldiers camp and Steel Legion mercenaries camp.
After the battle had been ended, Desmond noticed, they made their camps close to each other, with the kingdom tent was standing in the middle and guarded by many soldiers while the mercenaries camp was built on each side.
Desmond did not realize that as he observes the camps, Annie and Laura\'s eyes were shining, and their lips curled up, making them smile gently while watching the expression changes on their young master\'s face.
Yet, when their young master turned around, the smile on their face stiffened. They lowered their heads and were embarrassed. But to their surprise, their young master did not mention anything as he resumes walking.
On the other hand, Desmond shook his head. If his guess was correct, after several years of being together, how could someone be not fond of each other? This matter was proven by his harsh action when he saw Laura was injured.
Desmond did not feel afraid to take action and continue this relationship further. Nevertheless, as he mentioned before, the feeling was not too deep, and he only thinks of them as precious subordinates, no less or more.
Moreover, with the fact the enemy still roaming around his family, he could not make himself have more weakness. At that moment, the image of his elder sister flashed in his mind.
Alice is enough, Desmond thought.
"Greeting, sisters." Desmond greeted as he arrived at one of the mercenaries\' camps. His voice was not too high or soft, but that was enough for Steel Legion members to hear that.
A woman with her height taller than him came. Her sexy body and her bouncing breasts then elegantly bent toward him, revealing the slightest of her nipples.
"Welcome young master Desmond." She came with a seductive smile. Her voice was soft and tempting, coupled with her dark blue eyes staring at him curiously.
Desmond glances at the sight for a moment before raising his head to look at her face. "Where\'s your leader?" he spoke, but his brows slightly furrowed.
Even though he was a child, he was still a client, his status should be higher than theirs, and he also expects the other members to greet him.
But upon witnessing their attitude right now, Desmond began wondering whether this related to their friend\'s death.
The woman that greeted Desmond was Raina, the closest friend of Veronica. When she greeted him, for some reason, her instincts as a woman screamed, and her body suddenly shivered.
She glances behind him and saw the eyes of his maids was staring at her intensely. They also give her pressure and a threat.
She was dumbfounded. Since when was a mere maid giving her a goosebump like she was facing a strong enemy? Therefore she shook her head and avoid causing trouble by straightening her body.

"As you may see, she is still in a daze after our friend\'s death," Raina replied. When she mentioned the word death, her expression changed to grief.
She could not help and asked excuse from Desmond to leave.
Meanwhile, Laura was cold as usual, but her eyes then emitting a strong killing intent while watching every movement from Reina.
Annie that was standing beside her, was confused about her sudden changes. She could not help but look at her young master and found him indifferent toward her action.
On the other side, when Desmond heard her, there was no guilt in his heart or regret. Well, they just lost one of their best friends, and it is reasonable. At least one of them already greets me as a formality, Desmond thought.
Right then, his eyes lit up along, with an idea crossed his mind.
"Sisters, I feel sorry for the death of your friend, but please helped me to arrive at Helmfirth city before the registration period closed. "He spoke and sounded sincerely to them while lowering his head.
Desmond did not know anything about the situation between Vesta and the mercenaries\' leader nor the conflict between them. Thus he asked purely from his intention.
With his head lowered, Desmond keeps looking at their expression while waiting for their responses.
Sure enough, he saw Veronica noticed and saw her face keep changing while looking at him. Eventually, they began discussing each other about this matter.
After several debating, Veronica stood up and replied, "Young master Desmond is too polite, we can give it a try, but as you know, we have a big loss."
Her intention was clear. Even if she was willing to help him right now, her members could not bear to going back home while also considering the profit and loss.
Veronica sighed in regret. If they still like this and could not pass this ordeal, maybe this would be their last mission. She looked at the boy bitterly.
"I understand. Can I assume this is agreeable? "Desmond raised his head and spoke. He glanced behind her and found the other members of her were glancing in this direction. Their expression was lifeless and they lost their vigor.
"Yes," Veronica\'s expression looked in trouble as she repeatedly bit her lower tip before replied. After she spoke, she immediately turned around only to see her members looking at her exhaustedly.
When Desmond saw this, he shook his head." I\'ll pay more gold coins as your reward." Without waiting for a reply, Desmond turned around and followed by his maids.
Although he said that, Desmond could sense the atmosphere between them still gloomy , at least he gave them more reward to increase the possibility for them to work harder.
His objective coming to them was to forced them to speed up the journey. If not for the imperial assassin\'s ambush and his identity was known to them, Desmond would not resort to this method.
He was in wilderness and his guardians such as Vesta and the mercenaries had limited actions and could not protect him forever. The best example was when he fought in life and death battle with assassins.
Right now, what he needs the most was time. For power and knowledge? He had the system to record all of them, and he still uncovered the secret of this black dragon blood.
