William Ballard never denies that he is a selfish person.

He has always believed in this saying that people do not punish themselves for themselves.

In his outlook on life, as long as he can live well, no matter how others do, he has implemented his philosophy with practical actions in his first few decades of life.

William did not think that there was anything wrong with his desperate attempt to make money and enjoy himself. Of course, he was very dissatisfied with Reinhardt, who squeezed himself out of the Duke of Kane.

When a noble person from a certain province found him and asked him to use the excuse of putting the automatic production line into use and firing the mecha production line workers on a large scale to cause trouble, William, who was very smart in some aspects, immediately saw the turn of the situation and agreed without saying a word.

The conditions he demanded were not high, and he did not make the other party agree to him to get the position of Duke Kane afterwards. After all, that was simply unrealistic.

The condition he put forward was to make Reinhardt concessions in this incident and return the title of Marquis Ballard to him.

The other party readily agreed to his request and suggested that William go to Aragon Mine Town to take refuge for a while, and the local guards would provide him with shelter.

Sure enough, when William fled Lackville with the help of the Intelligence Agency and entered the Aragon Mine Town, although the living conditions here were relatively backward, he had been relieved of the seemingly scrutiny of the territory army for a long time.

The Guards quickly monitored three officials sent by Ryan to Mine Town, and completely cut off all communication and contact information between the remote mountain village and the outside world on the grounds that there was a problem with the contact channel of Aragon Mine Town.

William cunningly confirmed his safety before he began to send the guards out to secretly contact the nobles of all over Lamar State.

The ones he chose to contact were the nobles who had previously had similar scent to him. Among them, Mingzhe, a great nobleman with the title of Count or above, completely cut off his connection with him.

In the end, the highest title he could contact was just the viscount, and only a few people gave positive responses.

When the little nobles from all over the country came to the mine town to meet him, William recovered the feeling of being a marquis when he was a marquis from this situation, and he met the little nobles every day without restraint.

However, there is no wall that does not leak air. When Earl Ferremont noticed the strangeness of the mine town that had not been sent back for a long time, he quickly contacted the town through a special channel for workers to transport ore, and then he learned about the situation of the Aragon Mine Town.

William keenly felt the wrong thing from the political changes in the outside world and Reinhardt's tough attitude towards workers' trouble. Recently, he ordered the Guards to pay close attention to changes in the outside world and once again increase patrols in big and small towns.

William Ballard has been struggling in the position of Marquis for decades, and has offended countless people because of his unfinished money-making behavior. There must be a reason why he can survive to this day, because he is cautious enough.

At this time, the bald old man was walking around indoors. The person who had entrusted him with a rough hang-up of communication made him feel bad.

"No... this town can't stay anymore, please move."

"Clang!"

Just as he was about to return to the bedroom to pack his things and leave, a giant sword carved with gorgeous patterns was inserted in front of him. William was so scared that his face turned pale, and he staggered back and took two steps and sat on the ground.

"Who... who?"

"snort!"

A tall figure with a silver mask appeared in front of him coldly and snorted. Although he could not see the other person's eyes, William felt as if he was stabbed by a needle, and his hair was stimulating all over his body that was raised upside down by the murderous aura emitted by the other person.

“William Ballard.”

A low voice that was difficult for men and women to distinguish came from the other person's mouth. William suppressed the fear and anxiety in his heart, pretended to be calm and climbed up from the ground with a chair.

"I am William Ballard, who is your Excellency?"

"hehe……"

A warm smile appeared on the other party's lips, "My name is 'Yin', it's just a killer who uses money to do business."

He reached out and pulled out the giant sword from the ground, and Silver released the murderous aura in his body, covering William alone.

"Former Marquis Ballard, who has been with various off-the-scenes methods for decades and has been used to seeing all kinds of off-the-scenes methods, should have guessed his ending?"

"No...no!"

William was frightened by the strong murderous aura and retreated repeatedly. Although he supported his hands on the back of the chair, his legs had already shaken like sieve crumbs, and yellow unknown liquid dripped onto the ground along his trouser legs.

Yin's mouth drooped with obvious displeasure, "Dirty guy, just take your head back!"

"call!"

As the sound of the giant sword cutting through the air was remembered, the overwhelmed William finally rolled his eyes and fell heavily to the ground.

"Ah~ It's so disgusting."

A crisp and pleasant female voice rang out from the room. Lixia looked at the ground soaked with yellow liquid in disgust. "Forget it, let's complete the task. Go back and worry about this guy."

The next morning, the guards who came to wake up William only saw an unknown liquid. William Ballard had already disappeared without a trace under the guards' tight protection.

...

Almost at the same time, in the VIP suite of a special aristocratic club in the upper floor of Lure City, Haider, who had recently won over the little nobles, looked in panic at the maid with a smiling expression in front of him.

Before, he was having fun playing in the suite with a group of drinkers...hide and seek, but at this time, all the drinkers had lost consciousness and fell into the suite.

"You...you are! That bitch Irina...ah!"

Sheron, who had half-closed his eyes and had a kind expression, opened his eyes, and his strong murderous aura made Haidel dare not say the second half.

"Didn't you follow that girl Alisa to Ordis?! Why are you here!"

"Haha~" Sheron saw Haider tactfully swallowing the second half of his sentence, and restored his previous commercial expression. "Why did Mr. Haider say? Of course, someone wants to see you, please follow me."

"No, no, no, no!" Haidel fell to the ground, struggling with his hands and feet, crawling backwards. "I don't want to see anyone, get out of here! If the Lingbangjun knows your behavior, he will soon..."

"oh?"

Shirron tilted his head and asked with a puzzled look, "Are you sure it's the lord army, not the guards? Mr. Haider wouldn't think that I'm lurking in Lurey these days to return home for a trip, right?"

"Okay." Sherron reached out and stirred the steel wire suspended in the air. "Mr. Haider, please don't have to make unnecessary struggles, otherwise I will not guarantee your life safety~"

"Well!"

Heidel, who was unbeliever, moved back again, but the pain of the cleavage from the back of his neck made him stop moving immediately. Only then did he realize that he was surrounded by countless steel wires.

Shirron took back the short knife in his hand and smiled friendly. "Look, aren't we just agreeing?"
