Chapter 313 A Big Trouble

Su Chen is a time traveler who is pretty lucky. He just happened to be in a fight between local nobles when he traveled to this strange era. He was in the chaos and was trying to figure out his situation when he accidentally saved Count Roland. This heroic act not only earned him the trust and gratitude of the Count, but also found him a place to stay in this new world.

That day, Su Chen got lost in a dense forest. The surrounding scene was completely different from the Dragon Kingdom he remembered. He was looking for a way out when he suddenly heard fierce fighting and shouting not far away. Su Chen approached cautiously and found a group of knights besieging a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes. The man fought hard, but was obviously at a disadvantage.

Su Chen's heart tightened, and he decided to help. He quickly picked up a sword on the ground, rushed into the battlefield, and used the martial arts and swordsmanship he learned in Dragon Country to repel several knights. Seeing this, the man also fought back. Together, the two finally repelled all the enemies.

The middle-aged man panted and looked at Su Chen gratefully, "Thank you for your help, brave stranger. I am Count Roland, and I will never forget your kindness."

Su Chen smiled slightly, "Mr. Earl, I just did the right thing at the right time. Are you safe now?"

Count Roland nodded and motioned his followers to come over. "Yes, thanks to you. I will take you back to my manor, where you will receive the best hospitality."

In this way, Su Chen was brought back to Count Roland's manor. The count was very grateful to him and arranged for him to live in the best guest room in the manor and ordered the servants to take good care of him. Su Chen also took this opportunity to learn more about this world and the power struggles among the nobles.

In Count Roland's manor, Su Chen gradually adapted to his new life. He used his rich knowledge and skills to help the Count deal with various affairs, and quickly won the respect of everyone in the manor. The Count gradually regarded him as a confidant, not only giving him great convenience in life, but also introducing him to the aristocratic circle.

As time went by, Su Chen's reputation gradually spread. His outstanding performance in handling affairs and negotiations won him many friends and allies in the upper class. He used these relationships to start getting involved in the arms business and gradually built his own business empire.

In the past few years, Su Chen has not only mastered English and French, but also gained an in-depth understanding of the history and geography of the British Empire. His estate is located in a forest outside Rochester, covering a large area, with a magnificent villa, several ancillary buildings, and an open meadow. The estate is home to his butler James, many servants, and a well-trained guard team.

Su Chen's arms business developed rapidly. His sources of goods came from Longguo and other countries, and he transported and sold them through his own fleet and carriage team. He had close contacts with the nobles and military in the UK, and also had connections with some forces in continental Europe and the colonies. In the past two years, Su Chen made a lot of wealth through this series of transactions, laying a solid foundation for his estate and career.

On a sunny morning, Su Chen was processing documents in the study when the butler James knocked on the door and walked in.

"Mr. Su, there is a guest visiting from France. He is an arms dealer of the French military, named Pierre Duval," said James.

Su Chen put down the documents in his hand and nodded. "Please let him in."

Soon after, a tall and serious French officer walked into the study. He was wearing a neat military uniform and his eyes revealed a hint of alertness.

"Mr. Su, nice to meet you. I am Pierre Duval, from the French military." Pierre shook Su Chen's hand and said enthusiastically.

Su Chen responded with a smile, "Mr. Duva, welcome. Please sit down and let's talk."

After the two sat down, Pierre said bluntly: "Mr. Su, Count Roland not only admires Su Chen's wisdom and courage, but also has a sense of awe for him. The mysterious power from the East in Su Chen makes the count and the people around him curious and admired. What's more, Su Chen once helped Count Roland destroy several local gangs with his own strength, which made the count look at him with new eyes.

That was not long after Su Chen had established a foothold in Rochester. Several local gangs had been threatening Count Roland's territory. They were tyrannical and extorted, which seriously affected the interests of the Count. The Count was very troubled by this, but he did not have enough power and means to solve these problems.

Su Chen saw this and decided to help the Earl solve this long-standing problem. After several days of observation and investigation, Su Chen understood the distribution of forces and activity patterns of these gangs and developed a detailed plan.

On a dark and windy night, Su Chen quietly took several well-trained guards and sneaked into the gang's lair. With the cover of darkness and his own excellent martial arts, he quickly subdued several guards and then faced the gang leader directly.

The gang leader was surprised, "Who are you? How dare you break in here!"

Su Chen looked at him coldly, "I am Su Chen, a friend of Count Roland. I am here today to put an end to your atrocities."

After that, Su Chen showed his superb martial arts and mysterious power, and defeated the gang leader's men one by one. After a fierce fight, the gang leader finally realized his defeat and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.

"Please spare our lives! We will never dare to go against the Count again!" the gang leader begged.

Su Chen responded coldly, "This is not a question of sparing lives, but how much damage you have done to this land and its people."

Under Su Chen's deterrence, the gang quickly disintegrated, several main leaders were arrested, and the remaining members fled. The local residents finally got the long-lost peace, and Count Roland was very grateful to Su Chen.

"Su Chen, you not only helped me solve a big problem, but also restored peace in my territory." Count Roland said excitedly.

Su Chen smiled slightly, "Mr. Earl, this is the proof of our friendship and trust. I just did what I should do."

From then on, Count Roland trusted and respected Su Chen even more. Not only did the Count give Su Chen great support in terms of material, he also fought for more opportunities for him in the aristocratic circle. As a result, Su Chen got to know more aristocrats and dignitaries, further expanding his influence.

The British were full of curiosity about Su Chen, a man from the Eastern Dragon Country. Su Chen's mystery and his outstanding talents made him popular in the British upper class.
