Chapter 174 Two Gamblers
Only a few minutes later, the blood-like sunset sunk into the earth on the west side.

The dim shadows pressed down at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the sunset, which originally exuded a satin-like vermilion light, gradually dimmed.

But at this time, the hollow above the central area of ​​the White Tower became more and more conspicuous.

As the evening light gradually narrowed and buried in the ground, the crimson and purple outline could not help but not appear pale due to the loss of the evening light, but became more vivid and eye-catching.

"Oh, that's right," Roland seemed to have suddenly remembered something, and handed out a money bag to Robert, "Your profit."

"It really is..."

Robert took the money bag with complicated emotions.

Roland put his hands on his hips and said righteously: "Of course. I'm not here to cheat you out of money."

I'm here to scam you out of your money.

Roland silently added a sentence in his heart.

"How about it? Do you want to try again? There will be one-tenth of the profit in two days or less. There is no such profit in selling drugs."

"...I have to say, I'm tempted."

Robert said in a deep voice: "However, I also feel a little uneasy at the same time..."

"You make money too quickly, right?"

Roland cast a understanding look at him.

Robert looked at Roland hesitantly at first, worried that Roland would think he was stingy, and Robert immediately felt relieved.

"Yes. This money is earned too fast..."

Robert nodded with a serious look on his face: "I am a noble, not a businessman... You will pay the price for your opportunistic tricks."

Ha ha.

Roland almost laughed out loud.

If a nobleman from Bansa, a nobleman from Suze, a nobleman from Kalar—or even a nobleman from the mountain people said this, Roland would believe it to some extent.

But this sentence definitely does not apply to the Titanic nobles.

Titan is rich in big businessmen.

A good Titan merchant may not be a noble, but every Titan noble is a good merchant.

When mentioning Titan, people think of wine, food and beauties.

There, everything is clearly priced.Not to mention the wives and daughters of fallen nobles, even freedom and faith can be sold.

"Oh... you really deserve to be a great nobleman of Titan..."

Roland said softly word by word in a teasing tone.

Robert looked at "Helllan"'s charming eyes narrowed like a little fox, bent slightly, looked at him with his head tilted, and panicked in his heart.

"If you are worried about risk, then you might as well invest less."

Roland moved his head closer, stared at Robert carefully, then suddenly stepped back a few steps, and said in a flat tone: "Then let it go to the end. I'll just find someone else to cooperate, Mr. Noble."

"do not!"

Robert panicked and immediately grabbed Roland's shoulder.

"Hellan, don't take it to heart, I just said that...I will definitely continue to vote here..."

"No, no, why would I take it to heart..."

Roland didn't break away from his hands on his shoulders, and just put his hands on his lower abdomen elegantly, with smiles in his eyes: "But you are a nobleman. Grand Duke Suzerante of Titan said it well,' Nobles don't come to the table'—do they?"

At this time, Robert finally realized that this investment was not "Hellland" begging him to join, but he should be begging "Hellland" to allow him to enter this circle.

For a moment, he couldn't help feeling bitterness in his throat.

He finally tasted the bitter fruit of his arrogance.

"Miss Herlan... please give me a chance."

"You should call me Miss Herlan Alexevna!"

A look of majesty like a lioness flashed across the face of "Miss Hellland".

She said in a tone that was almost arrogant—or, in the tone that Robert used before, only more exaggerated: "Mr. Robert, you are now putting your hand on the shoulder of a young lady. superior!"

The voice was weak, but powerful: "If your family motto is that you should be proud of the 'act of bravery' of an unmarried woman who made a disrespectful move, then please allow my knight to have an honorable duel with you!"

At this time, Claudia, who was also born in a noble family, finally smelled the smoke.

The words "Hellan" involve the other party's family. On earth, it is equivalent to greeting the eighteen generations of the other party's ancestors in a cordial and warm tone.

She almost thought that Roland was going to break his face with Robert.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened to Claudia——

"……I'm very sorry."

Robert's expression froze for about five or six seconds, and then he suddenly let go of Roland's shoulder, took out his handkerchief with an almost humble gesture, and dusted Roland's shoulder like a servant.

Afterwards, he stood up straight with a serious face, and gave a Titan noble salute to Roland: "Let me re-introduce, honorable Miss Herlan Alexevna."

"I am Robert von Ludwig, the ninth heir to the Titan Empire, and I currently hold the title of Viscount."

He took two steps back, returned to the starting position, and then gave Roland another Su Ze noble etiquette: "Apologize to you again."

"May you forgive me."

Heh, a smart guy.

Roland narrowed his eyes and smiled happily.

"...Okay, Viscount Robert," Roland's voice returned to the softness at the beginning, "Also please forgive Herlan's joke—"

"Where is it."

Robert and Roland looked at each other and smiled, and Claudia and An Ruosi, who were ready to persuade a fight, couldn't help but looked at each other, feeling bewildered for a while.

But they didn't know that Roland had already stepped on the edge of death before——

"Miss Hellland, let's go to Line [-] first. We talked as we walked."

After being forgiven by Hellan, Robert showed a sunny and smiling smile.

He enthusiastically walked to Helan's side, but he was careful not to touch any piece of Helan's skin.

Robert finally no longer concealed his essence as a businessman.

He whispered in Herlan's ear and said, "I have an idea about how to use your channel to make more profits..."

Listening to his plan, Roland nodded repeatedly.

At the same time, the right hand holding the staff and sword gradually relaxed.

It seemed that the two of them just had a little verbal conflict before, but it was actually a big gamble by Roland, and it was also Robert's test of Heerland.

If Roland didn't respond to Robert's rude actions, it either meant that "Hellland" was good enough to seduce, or that she was not as noble as Robert thought.

Roland saw through his thoughts, but he didn't accept the move. Instead, he overturned the chessboard and gave Robert the right to choose again.

Based on "Helllan's" sufficiently impudent behavior, he judged that her identity might be far more noble than he initially thought.

So Robert, who was also at an impasse, made a bet.

He was betting on the woman "Helllan", and he couldn't afford to provoke her.

But he didn't know that Roland also made a bet.

His bet is that Robert will think that the woman "Hellland" can't be offended——

Obviously, Roland won.

This bet is unfair to both parties.

If Robert loses, then at most he will change from "almost no possibility of succession" to "no possibility of succession at all".

But if Roland loses...

Then it means that he will be regarded as an enemy by the angry Robert.Don't say that the plan in the White Tower will be blocked, even the establishment of power will be subject to huge resistance for no reason, and even personal safety will be threatened.

But since Roland dared to make such a move that was extremely unfavorable to him, he naturally had his confidence——
