Antonio left the manor with the medicine bottle containing venom. As soon as he left, Diana asked Brian with a puzzled face: "Sir Brian, why do you want Antonio to carry out such a task? I think he might let him You’re disappointed.”

At this time, Brian walked on the bluestone in the garden and said unhurriedly: "Are you worried that he will miss?"

Diana nodded and replied: "Not only am I worried that he will miss, I am also worried that he may not dare to take action at all, and may even report you to the king."

In fact, Diana's family has been working as trainers for the royal family for generations. Therefore, her family has experienced too much intrigues and coups in the palace, and she has experienced the same.Especially when she was seven years old, she witnessed the old king's bloody seizure of power from her brother. The king at that time was not as kind as he is now. In that coup, the old king personally killed his own brother and two children. A nephew.

Therefore, Diana felt that Brian's action this time was a bit risky.

Brian shook his head and chuckled disapprovingly: "Do you know Antonio?"

"Of course." Diana nodded and narrated like a treasure trove: "Antonio was born on the 4th of the 4th year of the Hainan calendar into a declining aristocratic family. His parents died early and he stayed at his uncle's house. Fortunately, with his talent and Because of his noble status, he became a clerk in the palace. In his daily life, he likes to study oil paintings and write some short stories. During his years in the royal city, he was very popular with the palace maids."

Before Diana could finish speaking, Brian interrupted him: "That's enough, that's enough, Diana, what you said was information, not accurate enough, not refined enough, and not focused on the key points."

"Yeah" Diana looked at Brian doubtfully.

"First of all, the clerk only records the daily trivial affairs of the palace. He has no rights and no profit. Secondly, Antonio is still young, and it is difficult for men to resist the temptation of wealth, power and sex. Unfortunately, he has no background, no connections, and no money to pay back. He had no money and was a typical coward among aristocrats, so he stayed in the position of secretary for six years, feeling depressed and frustrated."

Brian was sitting on a wicker chair in the garden, and he picked a flower, put it to the tip of his nose, smelled it, and then threw it away: "I don't like the smell of this flower, dig it up and plant it again."

"Yes, Master, Rem will take care of it now." The little maid immediately went to find the workers.

"But based on what I know about Antonio, he has always been cautious and cautious, and does not have the courage to kill the king. Especially this time when Duke Augsburg came to the royal capital, it almost scared him out of his soul. "Diana said again.

"Come here." Brian hooked his fingers towards Diana, who immediately walked to Brian's side, put her arms around his neck, and sat on Brian's lap in an extremely seductive posture.

Brian pinched Diana's plumpness hard at this time and chuckled: "Listen, there are three kinds of people in this world, and you must not judge their ability to act based on their appearance."

"What three types of people?" Diana asked.

Brian sneered and said: "Politicians, gamblers, and gentlemen, these three types of people can use any means or even sell their souls for their own desires, so don't underestimate people's desires."

Diana frowned slightly, thoughtfully, and then she suddenly asked a very sensitive question: "What about Mr. Brian?"

Brian raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and at the same time he put his hand into the skirt of the beauty in his arms: "What do you think?"

Diana accompanied him and said, "Master Brian is the one who controls everything."

Conabas Port, today's city hall is crowded. Gathered in the city hall are not only the businessmen, nobles and officials of Conabas Port, but also the citizen representatives of Conabas Port.

There were a hundred citizen representatives in total, and they all came to oppose Bryan's people-funded consolation money.

"It is natural for the Navy to protect us, why should we pay them?"

"Most of the taxes we pay to the king every year are given to the world government. They, the navy, are not qualified to ask for money from us anymore."

"Yes, pirates have been raging in recent years. Although our neighborhood is still safe, the city's economy is still showing negative growth. Everyone's current situation is not good. How can there be spare money for these navy."

The citizen representatives were very excited and strongly condemned Brian's shameless behavior of apportionment.

Mayor Reiner remained silent. Although he and Brian had a very close relationship because of their daughter, this time Brian even wanted to take his money, which was simply too bullying. That’s why he allowed the citizens to Representatives held this public hearing to jointly discuss how to deal with this matter.

"Good news, mayor, there is good news."

At this time, a burst of rapid footsteps came over.

Reiner stood up quickly, looked through the thick wall of people, and saw Selma behind the wall clearly.

Thelma is the liaison officer of the city hall, responsible for communicating with the officials of the World Government. This time Thelma learned from the officials of the World Government that Brian was going to be transferred back to the headquarters.

"What are you talking about? Brian is going to be transferred back to the Navy Headquarters."

"Is this news true?"

"Speak quickly"

Nobles, businessmen, and officials all questioned Selma.

Thelma nodded vigorously before she could take a breath: "It's absolutely true, and this news was conveyed to the Xihai Governor's Mansion a few days ago. I also confirmed with the Governor's Mansion that Brian will be promoted to Lieutenant General. "Staff Office Work"

"Hmph, I see. It seems that Brian is deliberately trying to make a fortune and then return to his headquarters."

"Yes, the staff officer of the headquarters has no real power at all. If he doesn't make a profit now, he will have no chance when he returns to the headquarters."

"Then do we still need to give him the money?"

"Do you think it's too much money to give him? Besides, he will be transferred back to the headquarters. If you give him the money, then you won't give it to his next one?"

"Well, then I won't give it to you. I don't believe they dare to steal it openly."

Businessmen, officials, and nobles have reached an agreement. As for the citizen representatives, they have no opportunity to participate in discussions and decision-making, because they are just cannon fodder that was deceived.

In the corner of the city hall, Shirley quietly took out the phone bug Brian gave him, and contacted Brian to truthfully relay the city hall's decision.

However, shortly after the call ended, gunfire and explosions rang out in the port, and hundreds of pirates rushed into Conaba Port.
