Chapter 198: Viscount Larry

Matthew's strength and background, along with Bay Territory's formidable army, made the other members of the Carlisle family abandon the idea of further attacks.

When Brown mentioned

that Bay Territory now had more than 20,000 people and had hired over 2,000 adventurers,

everyone fell silent.

The only thought in their minds was:

"How is Bay Territory so rich?"

The meeting room became quiet, with most people lost in thought, exchanging glances.

Lightly tapping the table, Viscount Larry, who had long known all of this, revealed even more shocking news:

"Bay Territory has already put out notices through the Assassins' Guild and the Adventurers' Guild."

"Whoever provides information on our troop deployments and movements, verified as true and not duplicated, will receive a reward of one gold coin!"

"They've put up 50,000 gold coins!"

The previously agitated members of the Carlisle family were now completely quiet.

When their own lives and wealth were at stake, everyone suddenly became very wise.

They could sense Bay Territory's unwavering resolve and the terrifying methods subtly implied!

As long as the conflict wasn't fully escalated, it was just the lower ranks who were dying.

But if it did escalate, the other side could use vast sums of money to come for their heads at any time!

This kind of thing had happened before!

At that point, people would do anything to survive, and all sorts of tactics would emerge.

Viscount Larry, seeing their reactions, couldn't be bothered to continue wasting words. He lightly tapped the table and, in a calm tone, stated directly:

"I don't care how this incident started, and I don't intend to investigate."

"But our conflict with Bay Territory ends here!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone remained silent, though, in a way, they had already tacitly accepted Viscount Larry's decision.

Viscount Larry, seemingly indifferent to their thoughts, made his decision and, seeing no opposition, proceeded to the next matter.

"Since everyone agrees, let's discuss the compensation, just as before."

"Those who took action will bear 70%, and the rest will split the remaining 30%."

When Viscount Larry's calm gaze swept over each person, everyone nodded in agreement without hesitation, a clear sign of his authority.

At that moment, Hawk, whose chest injury hadn't fully healed, suddenly spoke in a muffled voice:

"I have a batch of goods that are very valuable and could be used for compensation..."

Viscount Larry glanced over at Hawk, who had lowered his head slightly, gave him a deep look, and nodded in agreement:

"Speak with me afterward. If it's acceptable, your task will be done."

Hawk nodded, feeling a sense of relief as Viscount Larry's gaze moved away from him.

Though Hawk was also a high-level professional, he always felt an overwhelming sense of unease when facing Viscount Larry.

This was why he chose to compromise!
