“That Daniel is quite interesting.”

Watson flew in the air and headed toward the direction of the Riptide Palace that he had just built. He could not help but chuckle.

“Young Master Watson, how is Daniel interesting? In my opinion, he is just like the head of the Campbell family. They are both short-sighted idiots who only know how to protect the dignity of the noblemen.” Lubin, who was following behind Watson, snorted coldly.

“Lubin, don’t say that.”

Gerant frowned. Then, Lubin said, “Why can’t we say that? We are from the branch family, but we have already obtained the strength of platinum-tier at the border. After coming to the capital, we even brought many good things to the people in our family! Not only are those people not grateful, they even ostracize us. Is it because we are from a branch family that they are afraid that we will usurp their power?”

“Lubin, so in your eyes, those two family heads are like that? I do have a different opinion from you.” Watson interrupted with a smile.

“What do you think, Young Master Watson?”

“In my opinion, whether it is the Campbell family’s head, Armand, or the Ptolemy family’s head, Daniel, they are not really targeting you and Gerant. It’s not that they don’t want to put you in an important position, but they don’t dare to do it.”

“What does that mean?”

“Because you’re from the border, and you’re my subordinates. The border count has always had a bad relationship with King Landhar III. If they put you in an important position, it’ll look like they’ve been bribed by the border count, even if not true. Do you think His Majesty will suspect them? They’re from an archduke family, yet they colluded with me, the strongest genius in the kingdom. If all the noblemen in the capital were like that, then King Landhar III’s authority would be unstable. Do you think His Majesty will allow that situation to happen?”

Watson’s eyes flickered as he explained that.

“Just now, in order to dispel Daniel’s worries, I demonstrated my power in front of him. I built a waterway outside the royal city that connected the surrounding area. I even summoned the sea folks to let him understand who controls the royal city now. Only then did he propose to discuss a deal with me and kneel to apologize to me.”

“I was thinking the same thing too, Young Master Watson. Since those people were the masters of the archduke families and stood out from the other noblemen, they were definitely not stupid! They treated us like pawns. If they want to blame us, they can blame us for being too sensitive.” Gerant smiled bitterly and sighed.

No matter what, the Ptolemy family was only using him, while Watson treated him as family. His previous decision to leave the Ptolemy family and become Watson’s subordinate had not changed.

“So that’s how it is.” Lubin nodded in understanding. He had thought too little about it. He thought that the Campbell family simply did not like him. Well, if they did not like him, then the higher-ups of the family would not have allowed him to attend the meeting. They would not have agreed to return the thousand holy relics that were owed to Watson after he resurrected Augustus.

Augustus had died because of the King, and the Ptolemy family was not stupid. Augustus could only return home to recuperate because of Watson. The only person who had entered Augustus’ room was the healer sent by the King. The Campbell family should have been dissatisfied with the King, and Watson took that opportunity to reach an agreement with them.

Lubin could not help but sigh at his own stupidity. It turned out that Watson had gone to the two families to look for them not only to protect them, but also to negotiate with the heads of the two families, and he had actually failed to see through it.

At the same time, he also became suspicious of the mission Watson had previously given them.

“Young Master Watson, you said that you wanted us to live with the sea folks and help them to live like humans. The matter is not so simple, right?”

Coordinating the sea folks’ life and helping to build an army was not something that everyone could do. Even professional soldiers like the Blackmoon Knights would be able to do better than them. Why did Watson choose them to do that?

“Lubin, I’m impressed. It looks like you’ve finally learned to use your brain to think,” Gerant teased him.

“Shut up, Gerant. Don’t speak to me like Young Master Watson.”

While the two were quarreling, Watson said, “Yes, helping the sea folks is only one of the tasks I’ve given you! The other most important purpose is that I hope that you can continue to stay in touch with the Campbell and Ptolemy families. It’s best if you can flip their businesses and clansmen to our side. The heads of those two families are old foxes. They’ve only reached an agreement with me because I’ve suppressed King Landhar III. If anything happens in the future, it’s very likely that they’ll betray us. After all, their interests are more important to them. I want to make sure that they absolutely can’t betray us.”

He had already suppressed King Landhar III. He needed to infiltrate the kingdom’s ministries and assimilate the kingdom into his own. He still needed to prepare before he could do that.

“So that’s what you’re thinking, Young Master Watson,” Lubin exclaimed. If someone had told him of such a plan, he would have assumed that person had gone insane. However, at that moment, he could only feel the excitement in his heart.

It was not just him. Gerant also agreed.

“Alright, I’ll tell you the details of the mission I’ve given you later! As for now, you can rest well in your new home.”

Watson led everyone to the sky above the lake outside the royal city.

“This palace is so beautiful!”

“Is this our future home?”

Many of the sea folks whispered to each other as they looked at the Riptide Palace. Their eyes shone like stars.

“From now on, that is your temporary home. The waterway here is connected to the floating city. I hope you can extend a portion of the Dragon Palace that will be built in the floating city to the royal city. That way, you can realize the short-term conversion of resources! My idea is to build such waterways in all parts of the kingdom so that the sea folks can freely travel to every place. At the same time, I will also propose to His Majesty that he declare the law on the protection of demi-humans so that the sea folks can walk on the streets openly.”

Watson’s voice was not loud, but his words contained an exciting power. The sea folks cheered and said, “Long live Young Master Watson! We will definitely fulfill your orders.” Under Poseidon’s lead, they began to move toward the palace.

However, Alice did not leave. Instead, she went to Watson, grabbed his hand, and said, “Brother Watson, we haven’t seen each other for a long time. Can I live with you instead?”

“Alice, don’t trouble Young Master Watson.” Poseidon frowned.

Alice immediately bit her lip, and a look of grievance flashed through her round eyes. Seeing that scene, Watson reached out and patted Alice’s sky-blue hair. He said, “Before the King declares the law to protect the demi-humans, you will need to rely on your magic to walk on the streets, Alice. It’s not that convenient! I’ll make an agreement with you. When the protection law for the demi-humans is introduced, I’ll bring you to live with me in the capital.”

“Then, it’s settled then.”

Alice stuck out her little finger and hooked it with Watson’s. Her eyes beamed like a crescent moon. Then, she gently swung her beautiful fishtail from the lower half of her body, making herself taller and closer to Watson. Her soft lips touched Watson’s cheek, leaving a faint hickey on it.

Then, Alice blushed and took two steps backward.

“Brother Watson, I’m sorry that I was too excited! That is a kiss for your promise.. After this kiss, you can’t ever go back on it.”
