Chapter 765 Snake Syndicate (3)

The head led me out of this office and to another room that was near the center of the manor.

I found that the office that we were in before was an office that was at the edge of the manor. The one that we had just come to was one that was right in the center, near the entrance of the manor.

It was clear that this office was the main office of this manor.

Once we were here, the head suddenly stopped right outside of the door of this office and stood there.

The way that he acted was just like how the other black clothed figures had acted previously.

The way that he was acting, it was clear that he was the subordinate of whoever was inside this room.

It was surprising to see that he was willing to act as a subordinate, but I could already guess who was inside the room because of this. But at the same time, I couldn\'t help being even more surprised since I never thought that person would come himself.

Perhaps it was just a proxy of that person?

After he stopped, the head opened the door for me and turned around to say, "He\'s waiting for you inside."

With the door open, I was able to see who it was that was waiting there for me.

It was exactly who I thought it was…

Sitting there at that desk was Duke Yuletide, but I couldn\'t help being surprised by the fact that it really was him.

I never thought that someone like him would do something like this.

No, it was better to say that I was surprised by how resolute he was on this matter.

Since he was willing to show himself in this place, it was clear that he had already made up his mind and knew what he wanted to do. That meant that if I were to go against him…it would most likely end up in my death.

Seeing that I was just standing there, Duke Yuletide waved his hand at me with a friendly smile on his face and said, "Duke Zwein, come over and let\'s have a talk."

The way that he said this was almost as if he was friends with me.

But there was a tone that was in his voice that almost made it as if I had no other choice. It was almost as if…if I were to disobey him, he might give the order to cut me down right away.

As if to enforce this, the head looked at me with a smile while his hand went to his waist.

Under his dark clothes, I could see that there was something that looked to be a sword that was at his waist. It seemed that if I were to disobey, he might really pull out that sword and cut me down on the spot.

So I had no choice but to go along with them.

To my surprise though, the head closed the door after I entered the room so that it was only Duke Yuletide and me in the room.

It was as if they were trying to hide what I was about to discuss with him.

But it didn\'t seem like they were afraid that I would do anything to Duke Yuletide when we were alone.

Though I knew that the reason why he wasn\'t afraid was that I didn\'t have any weapons and because…he had people watching over this room. They would be ready to stop me the moment that I tried anything.

That was why he wasn\'t afraid.

With the duke\'s position, there was no doubt that he would have some elite guards that were secretly guarding him out of sight.

So they would be able to stop me if I were to try anything.

After coming into the room, Duke Yuletide gestured to the chair that was in front of the desk and said, "Please, sit and let\'s have a talk."

The way that he said this was just like before.

It was clear that he wasn\'t giving me any choice in the matter.

It was either sit down or I would be taken out right away.

So I sat down in front of him and just narrowed my eyes to look at Duke Yuletide, as if I was trying to figure out what he was up to. Though in reality, there wasn\'t much for me to figure out since I could already guess what he was thinking.

The only thing that I really wanted to know was where he got this confidence from that he wouldn\'t fail.

After all, if he didn\'t have this confidence, there was no way that he would have shown himself to me like this.

What was giving him this kind of confidence?

Seeing that I didn\'t say anything, Duke Yuletide didn\'t seem to mind as he said, "I\'m sure that you wouldn\'t want to waste any time, so I\'ll be straight with you. I want to take over this kingdom and I need your help to do it."

I narrowed my eyes even more after hearing this.

Duke Yuletide didn\'t seem to mind this at all as he just waited to see how I would respond.

After a long silence, I asked, "Why are you doing all of this?"

Duke Yuletide revealed a smile as he said, "It\'s all because of the royal family. They were the ones that robbed my family of everything that we were supposed to have."

It was like a dam had been released once he started talking about this.

Duke Yuletide started complaining about all the things that the royal family had \'done\' to his family, even though it was clear that some of these things were nothing more than his delusions.

But from this, I could tell that the reason he was talking to me in the first place was because…

He felt a sense of resonance with me.
