Chapter 145: Too much bullying
Radek didn't dare to believe it at all. If his elder brother had the chance, he would definitely kill him without hesitation. There is no doubt about it.
Therefore, he had no right to bargain.
"Count Augusta, you are very eloquent. I admit that I was convinced by you.
But if you want me to cooperate with you, you have to show me something real."
Radek was very determined. He had no choice, but he just wanted real benefits, not these illusory hopes.
Reality is not a game. If the conditions are met, the goal can be achieved.
Therefore, Derek had to give in to Radek's tough demands.
"Your Highness, I will give you something real, but it will be a little troublesome. You should be able to understand." Derek said so.
Although he could threaten the other party and even be sure that Prince Radek would cooperate with him, Derek still chose to take a step back.
At least, giving a step would be more conducive to future cooperation between the two sides.
Prince Radek also understood what Derek meant. If he really got involved with the Augusta family, he would lose the trust of Louis II in a minute.
The rules of the game set by His Majesty the King are to find a way out in balance.
What Radek can do is to break the situation without violating the rules, rather than breaking the rules set by the King.
As for how Derek handed over what belonged to him, that was his business, and Prince Radek didn't want to ask more.
After the deal was done, the guards finally caught up. Although they were still stopped by the knights of the Augusta family, they could at least see Prince Radek himself.
Prince Radek said hello and said goodbye to Derek.
It seems that the deal was not done?
Harvey observed Prince Radek's face worriedly, and could not see too much emotion, but no emotion was not good news.
Prince Radek walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, and said: "Sir Harvey, pay attention to Count Augusta."
When Harvey heard this, he was immediately anxious and said without thinking: "Your Highness, doesn't he even give you face?"
As soon as he said it, he knew it was not good. Count Augusta could not give Prince Radek face, but he couldn't say it to his face.
Harvey apologized hurriedly: "Sorry, I didn't mean that, Your Highness..."
"Okay," His Highness's face was gloomy for a moment, but he quickly adjusted: "I'm tired, let's go back."
On the other side, Derek watched Prince Radek's team leave.
Although the conversation was not long, it was obvious that the little prince was not a pushover.
Indeed, if he was really unteachable, Louis II would not have chosen him to check and balance the eldest prince.
After all, he has many sons.
As for what the little prince wants, it's actually very simple.
What the Augusta family can give him is nothing more than money.
Whether it's raising troops or fighting for the throne, money is indispensable.
Fortunately, there are suckers who pay for themselves.
Derrick called Adrian and whispered: "Teach the Garcia family a lesson."
Adrian understood instantly. He had also heard about what Derek had done with the Garcia family.
But the Garcia family is too small, and no one usually thinks of it.
But they jumped in front of him, so it's right to teach them a lesson.
"To what extent?"
"Torment them to death, until they can't bear it anymore."
Adrian was a little surprised, but he didn't raise any objections.
A small Garcia family is really nothing.
...
The news that the little prince Radek met Count Augusta spread quickly.
No one thought it was just a coincidence, and they must have talked about something with each other.
But judging from the movements in the northern province, there must be no substantial progress.
The only movement is that Sir Adrian is desperately tormenting the Garcia family.
Of course, everyone knows who is behind Adrian, but they just can't say it.
In fact, the exclusion of the Garcia family has never stopped.
Originally, they went to the capital to serve, which aroused envy, and they turned to the royal family completely, which made people unhappy. Now that they have offended Count Augusta, naturally there are many people who will add insult to injury.
When the surrounding lords start to exert their strength, the Garcia family will really be trapped in the dilemma of being isolated on an island.
Not to mention that goods like iron ore cannot be sold, even if you want to buy anything, someone will raise the price.
For a time, the Garcia family's expenses increased several times, but the income was almost zero.
The current Baron Garcia and his heirs are not in the northern province. They all serve in the king's court. The one who stayed in the north is Harvey Garcia.
Of course, he has improved a lot compared to when he just came back three years ago, but he still lacks some skills.
When he learned that the pressure from the Augusta family was getting worse, he was so angry that he threw the cup to the ground.
"A bunch of bastards, shitty princes, can't even control an earl."
He wanted to kick Prince Radek, and his diligence these days was in vain.
"Derek, you won't be arrogant for long, His Majesty the King will deal with you sooner or later."
He was angry at Derek's tyranny, and of course he was more jealous.
The other party's status and position were not as good as his a few years ago, but now he has made a fortune, which is simply dog shit luck.
Harvey was incompetent and furious, and smashed everything in the study.
Only here did he dare to vent his anger like this. When he went out, he still had to lick the little prince's ass and still didn't dare to express his dissatisfaction with Count Augusta.
Of course, the Garcia family was not in despair yet.
The nobles of the North did not interact with them, but the nobles of the royal capital did not have so many concerns.
The iron ore in the mine was dug out, refined twice, and sold to brokers in the royal capital at a low price, which was not without gain.
After all, it is a business without capital, so you only earn less.
But God is destined not to let him get through the difficult time comfortably.
Before Harvey had finished venting, there was a knock on the study door.
"Come in!!!"
The attendant opened the door and saw the mess on the ground, and his heart skipped a beat.
But the news was important and he didn't dare to delay it.
"Master Harvey, the businessman we are cooperating with said that he will no longer purchase iron blocks in the future."
"What do you mean? They are doing business in the capital, why are they afraid of Derek?"
"I heard that it was the mountain wolf Lloyd who said...that our goods are not allowed to leave his territory, even if they are purchased."
When Harvey heard this, his eyes went black and his chest heaved violently.
He only has one feeling...
"The bully is too much. The horse-riding bully is too much. Odd...Odd...prepare men and horses. I am going to kill that untouchable."
A bandit actually bullied him. How could he keep Harvey from being angry?
The attendant did not dare to say a word, and did not wait for the knight Odd to take the blame.
Instead, a colleague stumbled over and shouted with a pale face: "It's not good... it's not good..."
