My Pokémon Player

Facing the aggressive Williams, Ryan resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said unhappily:

"It's not okay to have an idea, and it's not okay to have no idea either. Baron Williams, what exactly do you want to do?"

Williams was speechless for a moment. He couldn't say that he regretted it and wanted to bring Ryan and Eve together. How could he save face if he did that?

So Williams could only explain vaguely: "Nothing, I just feel like you don't like Eve."

Ryan said helplessly: "If I didn't like Eve, I wouldn't have accepted her as my apprentice."

Williams' eyes lit up: "So you also think Eve is excellent, right?"

"Eve is of course excellent." Ryan nodded in agreement, but what he was thinking in his heart was how could a tool person like Eve, who is so dedicated to training air forces, not be excellent!

"That's good, that's good!" Williams said with a smile, leaving Ryan stunned.

My goodness, could this Williams be a granddaughter slave?

Just a simple compliment to his granddaughter could make him so happy.

It seems that I can praise Eve more in the future so that Williams will be willing to work for me.

If you want to go fishing leisurely at sea, just dream on!

I am a lord and I am working like a cow and a horse. You can't escape! You should work honestly until you are 60 years old!

Thinking of this, a barely perceptible cunning and smile flashed in Ryan's eyes.

Williams, who was immersed in joy, naturally did not notice Ryan's little expression. He said to Ryan happily:

"Eve is an excellent child, but I have spoiled her since she was a child. She is sometimes too willful. Please bear with me."

"Don't worry, as her master, I will definitely educate her well and help her get rid of these bad habits."

Ryan assured with a smile, and then changed the subject and ordered Williams:

"Okay, let's stop here for Eve's matter. Go and invite Miss Freya to the reception room."

"Yes, sir!"

Williams turned and left with a smile.

Soon, Williams brought Freya and Gray to the reception room.

The two thought Ryan was waiting for them in the reception room, but Ryan did not show up.

Gray put down the teacup that he had refilled twice, frowned and said to Freya:

"Ms. Freya, did Viscount Ryan leave us here on purpose?"

Freya nodded slightly, her white neck was as slender as a dancing swan, her posture was elegant and decent.

"Yes, he wanted to suppress our arrogance in this way, make us recognize the current situation, and take control of the conversation."

Gray said with dissatisfaction, "Are we so bad in his eyes that he can't even recognize the basic situation."

Freya said calmly, "Your attitude now and the words you just said are full of arrogance."

"This..." Gray didn't know what to say for a moment.

Freya continued, "I think Viscount Ryan knows that we are from noble families and it is difficult to let go of our pride, so he did this."

"Besides, we were very arrogant before, saying we wanted to cooperate with him, but in fact we were just trying to use him."

"With Viscount Ryan's intelligence, it is impossible that he didn't notice it. Since we didn't give him the respect he deserves, he doesn't need to respect us. We deserve it."

"So stop complaining and wait patiently. Viscount Ryan did not reject our request for a meeting, which means we are still useful. He will definitely come to see us."

"By the way, when you meet Viscount Ryan later, you must not reveal any dissatisfaction, let alone try to humiliate the servant to death. Lower your attitude."

After a while, Ryan finally pushed the door open and walked into the reception room with Williams.

As soon as he entered the door, Ryan apologized to Freya who stood up to greet him:

"I'm sorry, I'm late. Guanhai City hasn't completely stabilized yet, and I need to handle a lot of government affairs in person. I accidentally delayed the time and made the two distinguished guests wait for so long. I'm really sorry."

Freya said in a gentle voice: "There is no need for Viscount Ryan to apologize. The residents of Guanhai City are lucky to have a lord like you who is diligent in government affairs."

"On the contrary, we are the ones who interrupted you from handling government affairs, and we should apologize to you."

Ryan laughed and waved his hands: "Hahahaha, Miss Freya, you are too kind. I just don't want to betray Viscount West's trust."

"Since he has entrusted Guanhai City to me for temporary management, I must take his place and play the role of a lord to restore Guanhai City to its original prosperity as soon as possible."

Ryan said as he sat down at the main seat, then motioned for Freya and Gray to sit down and talk.

Listening to Ryan's hypocritical words, Freya said with an unchanged smile:

"Speaking of Guanhai City, I have not yet congratulated you, the Dragon Master, the Rising Star Noble, the Undefeated Lord, the Lord of Storms and Dragons, for successfully defeating the Merchants' Association and restoring the reputation of our nobles."

Ryan subconsciously asked, "Are there so many of us here?"

"What did you say?" Freya didn't hear clearly what Ryan said.

"Ahem." Ryan coughed twice. Although he was so embarrassed that he almost tapped his toes on the ground, he still pretended to be calm and said:

"I mean, where did you hear these titles?"

Freya replied, "Of course it was spread by the residents of Guanhai City. These days they have been discussing the scenes of your battles and racking their brains to come up with a title for you."

"Among the many titles, these are the most recognized by people, so they are the most widely circulated."

Ryan raised his eyebrows: "The most widely spread? Have these titles spread beyond Guanhai City?"

Freya nodded slightly: "Yes, I have already learned these titles of yours in Firefly Town."

"I believe that with the resumption of trade in Guanhai City, your title will soon spread throughout the kingdom, and then all the nobles will know your reputation."

When Ryan heard this, his heart finally died. He turned his head sharply to look at Williams and asked in a low voice:

"Did you know this a long time ago? Why didn't you tell me?"

Williams said confidently: "Didn't you say that you were very busy these days and I don't need to report some small matters to you."

"Is this a small matter?" Ryan asked through gritted teeth.

"Isn't that so?" Williams asked back.

"Besides, these titles can not only increase the residents' loyalty to you, but also spread your reputation. They will do you no harm!"

Ryan said angrily: "Who said there are no disadvantages? Doesn't social death count?!"

"Sorry, I don't understand what you are saying. What does social death mean?" Williams said with a puzzled look on his face.

Ryan sighed helplessly when he heard this: "Forget it, let's just leave it at that. I'm just adapting to the local customs."

Freya could see that Ryan seemed to reject these titles, so she asked:

"Doesn't Viscount Ryan like these titles?"

"Yeah." Ryan replied in a muffled voice.

Freya was puzzled and said, "Why don't you like them? I think these titles are very suitable for you. They show your rapid rise, your invincibility, and your achievements in conquering the Dragonite tribe. Others want these titles but don't have them yet!"

Ryan said casually: "It's other people's business what they want. I don't care about these false names."

Freya was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then her eyes shone with a different kind of brilliance.

She thought she had overestimated Ryan enough, but she didn't expect that Ryan could still give her a surprise.

You have to know that Ryan is not even 20 years old, he is young and energetic, and arrogant.

Other young nobles would be so proud of themselves if they had some achievements. Even if they just killed a few caterpillars and Magikarp, they would give themselves the title of Monster Hunter.

Even though Ryan has achieved so many brilliant achievements, he has not been conceited at all and still maintains a calm mind.

This mentality of not being surprised by praise or criticism alone is worthy of admiration and learning.

So Freya said sincerely: "You are worthy of being Viscount Ryan. Your character is admirable and you have taught me a good lesson."

Class? What class?

Ryan looked at Freya in confusion, not understanding what this lioness was thinking, so he could only change the subject:

"That's nothing. Let's stop talking nonsense and get back to the point."

"You came to Guanhai City to see me this time. I think you are here to say goodbye to me, right?"

Freya lowered her jaw slightly, nodded and said, "Yes, after my father learned that you occupied Guanhai City and subdued the Dragonite tribe, he immediately sent the Vulture Knight to deliver a letter to me."

"In his letter, he urged me to return to Lion City as soon as possible. I cannot disobey my father's order, so I can only bid you farewell in a hurry. I hope Viscount Ryan can understand."

Ryan said nonchalantly: "What's there to forgive? Your visit this time was originally the intention of Marquis Cross. Whether you leave or stay, you must obey his orders. It has nothing to do with you."

When Freya heard this, she said in a dark tone, "Yes, in the end, I am just my father's daughter. I have to do whatever he tells me to do. I have no control over my own destiny."

Looking at the pitiful Freya, Ryan smiled noncommittally and did not say anything. Instead, he raised his teacup and sipped the tea slowly.

Seeing that Ryan was not fooled, Freya couldn't help but curse in her heart.

This guy really didn't fall for it. If other young nobles saw her like this, they would have come up to her and asked about her well-being.

However, Ryan ignored her, obviously wanting her to take the initiative to make the request.

There was no other way, so Freya had to get straight to the point:

"I don't want to be a puppet anymore and become a tool for my father to arrange marriage. I want to control my own destiny. Please help me, Viscount Ryan!"

Ryan smiled calmly: "I knew you didn't come here just to say goodbye, you must have other ideas."

"Then the question is, why should I help you?"

"Before, I wanted to cooperate with you, but you said I was not qualified to cooperate with you and you just wanted to use me to undermine your brother's reputation."

"In order to prove to you that I am qualified to cooperate with you, I deliberately conquered Guanhai City."

"After I occupied Guanhai City, I suddenly realized that I didn't need to cooperate with you anymore since I have all the resources in Guanhai City. So now it's your turn to prove your qualifications to me."

"My time is precious, and I have a lot of government affairs to deal with, so I will only give you time for a cup of tea."

"If I finish this cup of tea and you still haven't convinced me, then our relationship will end here."

After that, Ryan picked up the teacup again and began to drink tea slowly.

Seeing this, Freya pursed her lips and said with a wry smile:

"Viscount Ryan is really smart. He didn't leave me any room for bargaining."

"In that case, I won't beat around the bush. I know that you occupied Guanhai City and gained countless resources and money, which made up for your originally weak foundation."

"But if you want to transform these money and resources into combat power, you will need some time to digest them, and my father will never give you a break."

"If nothing unexpected happens, my father should have already called a family meeting, announced that he would suppress you, and used you as the selection criteria for the successor."

"Whoever can suppress you will become the next Lion King of the Flame Lion Family!"

"So my brothers will surely be eager to take action against you, and the six Iron Guard families will also assist my brothers for the sake of their own supporters and my father's orders."

"You will then face endless harassment and war, and will gradually be dragged into the quagmire of war. Even if you have a lot of money and a powerful group of Dragonites, your development speed will be greatly slowed down."

"This is my father's ultimate goal. He wants to slowly wear you down to death!"

When Ryan heard Freya's words, he did not show any panic, but said with interest:

"As the lord of the southeastern province, Marquis Cross always insists on having a legitimate reason to fight. What excuse does he intend to use to attack me?"

"You know, I just defeated the Merchants' Association and saved the nobles' reputation. Even if I'm not considered a noble hero, at least I have a good reputation in the noble circle."

"If Marquis Cross attacks me directly, he will most likely be denounced by the nobles. Although the nobles' denunciation will have no practical effect, the reputation of your Flame Lion family will be affected to some extent."

"Other families may not care about their reputation, but I heard that Marquis Cross has an old-fashioned personality and attaches great importance to the family's reputation. He will not easily ruin the family's reputation."

"So let me guess. He will definitely not do it himself. Instead, he will support some small nobles bordering my territory and use their names to deal with me."

"In this way, not only can the Flame Lion Family stay out of this matter and its reputation will not be affected in any way, but it can also instigate other nobles to stand against me."

"The most important thing is that Marquis Cross, as the lord of the southeastern province, can openly intervene in the war in the name of mediation when necessary. By then, no matter whether I win or lose, I may suffer a loss."

"Ms. Freya, as the daughter of Marquis Cross, you should know him very well. Do you think he would do something that seems to be to save the family's reputation but is actually shameless?"
