"Do you know me?" Sigmun was puzzled.

When he left the Duke's Mansion tonight, he had just received the badge given by Charlotte. He thought that the corresponding appointment news would take some time to reach all the demon hunters' ears.

So when he took out the badge, he didn't have much confidence at first, but judging from the reaction of the demon hunter in front of him, it was obvious that before he came back, Duke Dressel announced his new identity through internal channels.

If you think about it carefully, he had not left the sea of ​​chaos at that time, and the Duke did not know the result of this mission. From this perspective, Duke Dressel did have great trust in him.

The rewards are also generous.

"I know, of course I know!" The demon hunter who came to perform the mission looked excited. "Before you, there were only four CEOs in the Bureau of Investigation. This has not changed since its birth, but your position was proposed by the Duke himself."

"Although there was some discussion, everyone was more curious." The man who spoke was honest, and it was obvious that they respected Duke Dresel from the bottom of their hearts, so even if some of the Duke's orders were unreasonable, they could be accepted and executed well.

"So that's the case." Sigmun nodded, "You don't have to worry about the matter here, leave this matter to me."

"As for orders, Chief Executive!" The demon hunter bent down slightly and gave a hunter's salute. At this time, Thomas, who was standing not far away, listened to all this, and his face became very ugly.

The CEO, of course, knew the weight of this identity. The Bureau of Investigation led by Duke Dressel is one of the highest power organs in the kingdom.

Each of the four CEOs is well-known. Whether dealing with internal conflicts or external infiltration, they have made great contributions to the peace and stability of Elland.

But what shocked him even more was not these, because although these CEOs had great power, most of the dealings were extraordinary events and there were not many opportunities to contact the Scalid family.

With their family's influence, they only need equal respect for these CEOs, but they do not need to be afraid of them.

But the Henrik in front of him was very different. More than a month ago, this name suddenly appeared in the communication between the nobles, although it attracted a lot of speculation and attention from everyone at that time.

But after this, the Duke did not respond at all. Over time, the popularity of the topic gradually decreased, and many people even thought that the speculation was just rumors.

After all, similar topics always appear every once in a while.

But now, Thomas knew that it was not that Duke Dresel did not say it, but that no one thought that he attached so much importance to Henrik, and as soon as he took action, he directly added a place as CEO.

This kind of treatment is just like this even if your own son is right?

Is the rumors true?

This Henrik is really the illegitimate son of Duke Dressel?

At this moment, Thomas realized that he was indeed a little reckless in handling this matter.

"Okay, let's go." Sigmun also spoke. The demon hunters present were unwilling to stay here, and the police did not make any trouble.

Thomas was frozen in place, not knowing what to say for a moment. He knew that the best solution at this time was to take the initiative to take the initiative to take the lead in taking the manor deed he had purchased from Viscount Snow.

This is used to ease the conflict just now and try to repair the relationship between them, but Thomas has always been proud and has never suffered any setbacks in his growth and work. At this time, he suddenly whispered to a peer.

He still couldn't accept it in his heart.

"Mr. Thomas." Sigmun spoke suddenly, "Do you have any ideas about that estate now for sale?"

"What?!" Thomas was stunned at first, but then his face suddenly changed. He raised his head and showed a hint of humiliation on his face.

"What do you mean, Mr. Henrik?" Thomas's voice was sharp. "Do you think I should agree to you if I know your identity?"

"That manor belongs to me, and the laws of the kingdom protect my rights. Now I do whatever I want. Without my permission, no one can enter my manor. Next month, no! Tomorrow, tomorrow I will send someone to flatten that manor."

A smile appeared on his face, "I can't sell that manor, I can't sell it for no matter how much!" After saying the last sentence, Thomas felt that all the humiliation he suffered tonight was vented.

He nodded proudly, "It's already very late, I'll leave first if I have something to do. Regarding the compensation I promised Miss Rebecca just now, I will send someone to deliver it tomorrow morning."

Holding the hat on his head, he raised his eyebrows, "Then, Mr. Henrik and two ladies, we'll see you." After that, he turned around and planned to leave here.

"Wait a minute." Sigmun spoke suddenly, he shook his head and couldn't help but sigh.

Those nobles are used to being arrogant, so sometimes they treat the steps handed over by others as a humiliation.

If the sea is a primitive and wild world, then Abetus is a modern civilized society, and different places must follow different rules.

Originally, Sigmun also hoped that he could show a little more civilized here, at least not fight and kill like he did at sea.

Just now he saw the hesitation on Thomas' face, so he took the initiative to pass a step, but his kindness fell into Thomas's eyes and turned out to be a kind of humiliation.

Then there is nothing to do.

I want to be a civilized person, but the conditions do not allow it.

"Is there anything else, Mr. Henrik?" Thomas said without looking back.

"You just poured a cup of coffee on Rebecca's table, and I'll give you a chance now." Sigmun said slowly, "lick the coffee on the table, then think calmly and answer the questions I just mentioned."

"What did you say?!" Thomas was furious and turned around suddenly, "If I say no! What do you want to do, kill me here?!"

"How could it be?!" Sigmun seemed to be frightened by Thomas' expression, "This is just an opinion given to you by a kind civilized person."

He spread his hands, "As for the choice, it's entirely up to you."

"I refuse, I refuse! Damn..." Thomas rushed out angrily after swallowing the swear words that surged to his mouth.

Watching Thomas leave, Sigmund's eyes were not angry, he just shook his head, "Poor guy, you don't know what you rejected."

"What should I do now?" Ashley asked. "This Thomas has a complex background. His family has a strong influence in the Kingdom of Elland. His father is the second secretary of finance and his uncle is Admiral Garcia."

"Don't worry." Sigmon glanced at Rebecca, "You go back to Elm Street first and prepare a bottle of good wine and a hearty dinner. As for me..."

Sigmun walked to the window and looked at the Scalid family's carriage, "I'll go and have a good talk with this Mr. Thomas."
