Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 2752

Wilbur said, "What do you think we should do, then?"

Felix whispered into Wilbur's ear, who nodded. "Right. We'll go with that, then."

Following that, the two men returned to the Chris family grounds together. Just as they had entered, a servant came running towards them in a panic. "You're finally back, Lord Horne! Lord Conrad came over this morning, he's been waiting in the main hall since then."

"Conrad?"

Wilbur and Felix exchanged glances. Neither of them knew why Conrad was here all of a sudden, and Felix said, "Have him wait a little longer. We'll be with him in just a second."

"Yes, Lord Horne."

The servant hurried off to deliver the message, and Wilbur and Felix quickly entered the study. Felix took out a pen and paper, writing down a letter. The two men then called for a servant, handing the letter to him.

Felix reminded, "Remember that Divan has to receive this personally."

"Yes, my Lord."

"Looks like I really underestimated you. But you should know that money does not come without evil, and there is no way for you to make it big without screwing some people over in the process. You might be the leader of the Chris family now, but technically you are no more than another one of Babbit's puppets. You're only here because Babbit needs someone to keep track of the Chris family's accounts, and no more. All that money you're managing is tracked closely, and not a single coin goes into your pocket. Don't you think that kind of life can be so terribly boring?"

Just then, Wilbur said, "Well, what would you constitute as an interesting life, Lord Conrad?"

Conrad glanced at Wilbur before saying, "I heard that Dalton and a few dozen members of the Dragon Slayer Organization were ambushed not too long ago. They lost over half of their men, but the attackers' faces were covered so no one knew who did it. See, that's what I find exciting. You have to think you're going to win every time, even if you're going up against a powerful opponent. See, even if a group as powerful as the Dragon Slayer Organization met their downfall with a carefully thought-out ploy."

Wilbur and Felix exchanged glances before chuckling out loud. Wilbur then said, "I didn't know you were interested in this matter too, Lord Conrad! I thought it was just Felix and I, you know."
