After I became a real young master, I became famous for my bad behavior

The Lord sneered at the Duke:

"Hey, your face is dark, are you feeling unwell?

"If you can't even handle this kind of blow, how can you be a duke? Hahaha!"

The Duke's face turned completely black, because there were so many people standing in this place. Otherwise, with his temper, he would have wanted to strangle the lord's neck.

"Ah,"

The Lord said coldly to the Duke,

"You can go now. Let me deal with the compensation issue with them."

A moment of silence.

Bang!

This was the sound of the Duke slamming the door and leaving.

The retainers witnessed the entire process of the Duke and the Lord snatching the property. While they exposed the Duke's selfish nature, they also saw the Lord's smug look after successfully seizing the property.

Ugh!

The retainers knew it well.

"These two are the same."

But now that they have finally changed their boss, the retainers must of course try to please the lord. If nothing else, the compensation the lord mentioned must be obtained!

"call..."

"It's a blessing."

"I hope the Lord will not make the same stupid mistake as the Duke..."

clap clap.

The lord clapped his hands and motioned for his retainers to look at him:

"Okay everyone, let me apologize to you on behalf of my brother. Next, let's discuss the issue of compensation~"

The retainers who had originally had some expectations were extremely depressed when they saw that the lord was treating these matters as if they were playing house with a child:

"They really are copy-pasting..."

Although they had some dissatisfaction with the lord in their hearts, the retainers still kept smiling.

Although the retainers didn't say anything to each other, their eyes conveyed the same meaning - their eyes were focused on the resignation letter that Retainer No. 1 threw on the table.

-

Magic Tower.

Private residence of the Earl of Eton (Arthur).

Arthur's office.

A handsome man with blond hair and deep blue eyes, wearing a twill knitted sweater and white pants, sat at the desk.

The gentle and mature masculine charm he exudes would definitely make him the type of person who would be miles ahead of others in terms of appearance if he were placed in today's social circles.

Although he was a middle-aged man, Arthur had no wrinkles on his face. His brothers had to sit with him, so people could only focus on Arthur.

"But Sean promises: I was born under Arthur's name because Arthur is more suitable to be Sean's father, not because Arthur is good-looking!"

The pair of slender, white, and bony hands poured white tea produced by the Eaton Trading Company into the teacup.

"(sound of pouring tea)..."

When the brewed white tea comes out of the teapot, the whole office is filled with the fresh and elegant tea fragrance.

Arthur, who was enjoying his tea, picked up the newly published newspaper on the table. After glancing at the content, his expression became solemn for the first time.

"Ok?"

He took the newspaper and read the contents on it——

Due to management problems in the Haynes family, the sweet gum business will now be managed by Alex Haynes.

He knew his brothers well, and naturally understood how short-sighted Atole was.

Even though the newspaper did not specify what problems had arisen among the management, Arthur could guess that "Atole must have used his position to embezzle a lot of wealth."

Arthur's mood for enjoying tea was completely wiped out by such news. For the first time, his face looked serious because of his brother's affairs.

He had been away from the hustle and bustle of Haines for many years, and now he was really worried about the development of Haines:

“Atole’s business ability was barely enough to handle the business, but now he has lost such a huge business because of his greed!

Alex’s business power... Stop talking about it, I can’t bear to watch it!

Now tell me Alex took over the properties—I can’t imagine what he would do to them.”

Arthur's face was filled with the expression "I'm really convinced".

"I still think the same thing: if the old duke knew about this, he would be in prison..."

Of course, his brother's bad behavior does not affect Arthur's "beauty" at all. He is not affected and can provide solid support to Sheen.

...

Today is the day when the retainers loyal to the Earl of Eton meet with Arthur.

In order to keep things under wraps, the retainers reached a tacit understanding: only one or two retainers would be required for each meeting.

What’s different from before is that Arthur doesn’t have to dye his hair to protect his identity.

Ever since Arthur went to the royal city to handle the movable property transfer procedures, the news that "the real Haines heir is still alive" exploded in the social circle.

After the golden hair appeared, the loyalty of the retainers increased significantly...

Knock knock knock (knock on the door).

Arthur was brought back from his thoughts by a knock on the door.

"Hello, Lord Earl, may I come in?"

"come in."

Arthur put the newspaper away and looked at the document.

The visitor was Viscount Gram, who was driven out by Haines a month ago and is now a retainer serving Arthur:

"Good morning, Lord Earl—wow, this outfit really suits you."

Coming back to his senses, Arthur raised his head and asked the Viscount:

"You seem to be in a good mood. You must have brought me good news, right?"

The Viscount held the "bill of sales" in his hand, and he excitedly reported the success of the new business to Arthur:

"My Lord Earl! For some reason, the sales of your artificial rubber have suddenly soared. Currently, the wealth we earn from selling rubber raw products alone has increased nearly 10 times compared to before!"

Arthur stopped marking the documents with his pen and looked up at the Viscount.

Although he was busy, Arthur still smiled at the Viscount:

"Really? Thank you for your hard work."

The Viscount was overwhelmed by Arthur's handsome appearance:

(Rising loyalty)

"It's not hard, it's not hard. I am very willing to work under you..."

Arthur said some more words of encouragement and even took out the "Notes on next week's operations" and some letters of encouragement that he had written to each retainer this week.

He asked the Viscount to distribute it to his retainers.

This was Arthur's usual way of encouraging people - something is better than nothing.

...

The Viscount left contentedly, leaving Arthur alone.

Arthur thought about this month's "startup journey":

(Memories)

a month ago.

pat!

This time it was Arthur's turn to drop his fork:

“What?! The wealth you earned from your sugar substitute business was actually taken away by Atole?

"What the hell...

"Oh my god, if it were me, I would have rushed to him and hit him twice!"

Arthur's eyes were filled with the words "Why did my nephew suffer so much injustice outside?", which formed a polarization with Ivan's calm and composed appearance sitting opposite him.

"Ivan...Aren't you in a hurry?!"

"There's no point in being anxious. Besides, I don't need the money." Instead, Ivan held up the teapot and gave the "Phoenix Three Nods" to the teacup.

Seeing that Arthur looked a little upset, Ivan said:

"Haines has been eyeing my wallet for a long time. If it were me or Sheehan, this kind of moral blackmail would be even more serious."

"Ah... that's right."

Arthur was speechless. He knew his brother too well.
