Chapter 93 Questioning

"Do you see the young man with blond hair?" She asked in a low voice, trying to help them. "This is the Baron's first son and the heir of the Irwin family. You must pay attention to him if you want to have a long relationship with this family."

Hearing this, Rory looked with interest at the older brother of the fool who had threatened Vicente days ago.

Unlike that fellow, this person was a few levels stronger, and even though he was obviously very young, he was already a level 2 Acolyte!

The Baron's butler heard this woman's comment but said nothing.

It was not their duty to help people who came to this residence, but it was no problem for one of them to do something like that.

Vicente looked at the heir of the Irwin family and said nothing, continuing to listen to the woman who was helping them.

"Right in front of you, you can see the painting of Mrs. Irwin, where the cleaner is dusting the statue right in front of her." She pointed the painting further down the corridor they had just entered so that the two young men looked in the direction of the mother of the Baron's only three children.

The baron had several women. This society allowed for the formation of harems. Even so, marriage was a sacred institution, allowing only one man and one woman. Any other configuration was frowned upon by society and forbidden.

But even with several women, the only one who had borne his children had been his wife, who had died of an illness years before.

Conception in this magic world had its complications. It was not easy at all to give birth to magical futures!

If it were easy, the world would quickly become overcrowded with the most talented people's children, who would reproduce intensely throughout their lives, leading to the collapse of this world.

The number of resources was limited!

So even if you tried to have as many children as possible, sometimes you would not be able to have even one child, as was the case with the Baron's other women.

This woman continued explaining some basic things about this family to the two friends until they reached where Vicente and Rory would be waiting for the Baron.

As they left them there, the butler asked the servant dressed as a maid. "Why did you help these two?"

"Because they are two sweethearts, Elliot." She smiled at him. "Maybe they'll be grateful and return to this old woman in the future... I have my needs, too, you know."

The old man wasn't fooled by this comment and Lena's smile.

'You don't fool me, Lena...'

Servants like her did not have many options. Having good contacts sometimes allowed people like that to leave their situation to get something more in this society.

Not everyone would accept making deals and benefiting servants like them. Some were arrogant. Others were prejudiced against the origin of people like them. But Vicente and Rory didn't show such behavior. It seemed easier to approach them than those who usually visited this residence.

While the two looked at each other with different thoughts in mind, Vicente and Rory talked in low voices in the waiting room.

"Why did she help us?" Rory asked.

"When you're more open to dialogue, people are naturally more willing to talk to you," Vice muttered. "But she's probably trying to bait us. A servant like her could benefit greatly from contact with someone like you, my friend."

"Me?" Rory asked in surprise.

"Yes, you have a Green-grade talent, but it's still weak. This is a chance for an ordinary person like her to contact a future expert." Vicente saw the situation as it was and knew it was not because of him.

"It is not easy to approach someone with your talent level, even when they are weak. But you and I behave like approachable people, something rare and hard to see." He said, narrowing his eyes. "We can use her in our plans."

"How?" Rory asked.

"You can..."

As Vicente was about to say it, the door to this waiting room opened, and a somewhat chubby, very well-dressed man walked in next to a bodyguard.

Vicente looked at the bodyguard of this person, who had a Yellow-grade talent like his, and thought that this was another 'Sir' like the one he had met in Saltstar City.

'This person will be a problem for our operation.' He narrowed his eyes, thinking that he would probably be guarding the estate if this person weren't accompanying Baron Irwin. REad updated stries at n//vel/bin(.)com

'The Baron should be a level 5 Acolyte, so this man must be a level 7 or 8 Warrior.' Vice pondered as he stood up at the same time as Rory, making a gesture of greeting to the fat man.

"Baron Irwin, it's nice to meet you finally." The two young men said at the same time.

The Baron had already noticed these two young men's cultivation and magical talent, who surely had their local contacts to get this meeting today.

'One with Green talent, and both are already Intermediate Apprentices... Not bad. They look very young.' The Baron thought to himself.

He had been pressured to meet these two after another local Baron asked for an old favor. He had delayed this meeting as much as possible and let it happen when he had nothing important to do.

The Baron was concerned about the recent disappearance of his youngest son. But after days of investigation and no results, he could only let his men continue to work without his constant pressure to find the young man.

Having recently settled his affairs and put that investigation aside, he wanted to resolve his promise and receive these two.

"All right, young men, who are you, and what can you offer my family?" He got right to the point.

"This is Rory Point, and my name is Vicente Fuller. We are here to offer you some of our products, Baron Irwin. We have a wide variety of grains, cereals, and fruits, as well as competitive prices." Vice said with a smile on his face as he introduced himself.

"Fuller?" Hearing that surname, the Baron didn't pay much attention to the rest of what Vicente had said, remembering a detail from the investigation of his son's disappearance.

His eyes narrowed, and he asked. "Young Vicente, I heard that my third son visited the Fuller family estate in Martell Village before disappearing. Is this the same Fuller family you are from?"
