Lobbyists have arrived

News of the Doyle Family being threatened quickly spread throughout the city. Many people mocked them, but of course, there were also those who pitied them.

Cleveland sat in his study with a gloomy expression. His eldest son stood beside him and said angrily, "Father, let's fight that bastard to the death. Not only does he want to take Mother away, but he also wants to take Little Sister away. Little Sister is only eight years old. How can we let her fall into the hands of a disgusting pervert? "

Most nobles liked to play around with young girls. However, if it was their young daughter who was being molested by someone, no one would feel any joy. On the contrary, anger and resentment were normal expressions.

"I want to fight too, but how?" Cleveland slammed his palm on the table and said through gritted teeth, "The other party is a Master, and there are two of them. Most importantly, he's a lord. Although he hasn't established his own faction or city yet, the power behind him must be very terrifying. However, to be able to nurture such an outstanding young man, the power behind him must be very terrifying. It would be extremely easy for them to destroy our Doyle family. How can we fight? What right do we have to fight? "

Looking at his father's bloodshot eyes, the eldest son fell silent. He was the eldest son and would inherit the Doyle family in the future. He naturally knew what would happen to a mediocre noble family like theirs if they were to meet with a true collapse of the rich and powerful.

"Are we really going to give Mother and Little Sister away?" His eldest son shouted with extreme dissatisfaction, "We can give him the gold coins, but if we really send Mother and Little Sister over, how will our Doyle Family survive in Harvey City in the future?"

For many families, profit was the most important thing, but sometimes, the family's reputation was also a kind of profit, a very important one.

Although Cleveland's face was full of resentment, he wanted to laugh in his heart. He felt that his acting skills had reached perfection. Even his eldest son was fooled, and the rest of the family believed him without a doubt.

However, while it was funny, Cleveland was filled with coldness. There was actually someone who was secretly targeting his family. If it wasn't for Lord Beta's magnanimity and not being fooled by schemes, they would have been finished by now.

Who could it be? Cleveland thought of many people, but he couldn't be sure. However, he was very clear about one thing. Now that the show was done, if someone came looking for him, it would be very easy to identify who the enemy was.

The family head was deep in thought. Seeing this, the eldest son was about to leave. He wanted to find some friends and see if there was anyone who could help in this matter.

Just as he opened the door, he saw his mother and little sister walking in.

Seeing this, the eldest son hurriedly asked, "What are you doing here?"

Cleveland, the patriarch of the family, was also a little puzzled, but when he saw the determined look on his wife's face, he knew something was wrong.

"Let me and Ruth see the man." The charming middle-aged woman smiled faintly and said, "Two women can exchange for the peace of the family. Why not?"

It was a little girl about eight years old. She had long brown hair that reached her waist and wore a floral dress. Her face was full of timidity, but she still tightly held onto the corner of the middle-aged woman's clothes. She looked very lovable.

Cleveland held his head and sighed. He had almost forgotten that his wife was not a simple character. She even valued the survival of the family more than he did. For her, if necessary, a woman's body could be used as a trade item, including herself.

However, some people's views were not quite the same. When the eldest son heard this, he immediately objected. He shouted, "Mother, this is a matter between us men. You women should not meddle."

It was no wonder that his eldest son was angry. Whether it was in terms of emotions or dignity, it was very difficult to accept giving his mother and younger sister to others. Cleveland sighed softly. "Don't worry, let's wait a little longer. I will find a way to solve this matter. "

Cleveland was now very helpless. His acting was too good, and everyone believed him. This was also a troublesome matter.

"How are you going to solve it?" The middle-aged woman looked disappointed. "Two Master-level professionals, plus an unknown background and power. Not to mention our Doyle family, even if the whole Harvey city united, we may not be a match for them. Cleveland, just let us go. After all, we're just women. After a while, you can just marry a young and beautiful woman. "

These words made people feel very helpless. Cleveland sighed gloomily. He now had the intention of revealing the matter to his wife, but he thought about it and held back. Just as he was thinking about how to cover up the lie, he saw a guard come to report, "Master, the castellan is outside asking to see you."

"Castellan?"

Cleveland frowned slightly, and there was some surprise in his eyes. After a moment of silence, he turned to his family and said, "Don't worry, I will think of a way. Now, go back and rest. I want to talk to the castellan."

The middle-aged woman left with her little daughter. Before leaving, she sighed deeply and was very worried. From the bottom of her heart, she did not want to become someone's mistress, and she did not want her daughter to be defiled at such a young age. But reality was cruel. If they did not do this, the Doyle family would definitely not be able to escape this disaster.

Watching his mother and little sister leave, the eldest son wanted to stay, but he thought about it and left with them. He planned to comfort his mother and little sister.

Cleveland, on the other hand, waited in the study for the castellan to visit.

According to Cleveland's experience, once Beta left and he spread the news that he was bullied by Beta, the hidden instigator behind the scenes would immediately jump out and find a way to unite with him to deal with Beta.

Before this, he had guessed the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes. Many nobles and families had gone through his mind, but he had never considered that the castellan was involved in this matter. After all, the position of the castellan was just an empty shell created by the nobles.

Could the castellan, who had no strength or background, be the mastermind behind the scenes? Or was the castellan just a pawn on the surface?

Cleveland felt that the matter was becoming more and more confusing to him.

About five minutes later, Cleveland met the castellan in the study.

"I heard that you've been in some trouble recently!"

As soon as the City Lord entered the study, he sat down and crossed his legs as he spoke. Whether it was his expression, actions, or words, he exuded a sense of superiority.

"Your Excellency Darren, you're quite well-informed," Cleveland replied indifferently. "But what brings you here?"

In Harvey City, most nobles with a bit of status would not have much respect for the castellan. After all, he was just a 'puppet' that they held up. Who would have any respect or fear for a puppet?

City Lord Darren was casually lying on his back. Facing another noble like this was a very rude thing to do, and Cleveland was already quite displeased by this.

But Darren didn't find it strange. He sighed and said, "Your Doyle family is a part of our Harvey City, and yet you're being bullied by an outsider. As the city lord, I can't stand it no matter what."

Cleveland laughed dryly. In fact, he had already started to take the castellan seriously. However, for the sake of the 'acting' effect, he still maintained an indifferent expression as if he did not care much about the castellan. "Thank you, Your Excellency. This is indeed a disaster for our Doyle family, but I think it's better for Your Excellency not to get involved in this, lest you get into trouble. After all, your strength … hehe."

Although Cleveland's chuckle sounded normal, anyone with a bit of social experience would be able to hear the contempt and disdain in it. Darren's expression finally changed. He sat up straight and stared at the man in front of him. "Lord Doyle, you don't look like you're about to ask for help."

"Can you help me?"

Cleveland still looked disdainful on the surface, but in his heart, alarm bells were ringing. The local tyrants of Harvey City knew that the castellan was just a puppet, but now he seemed to be saying that he had the confidence to deal with Beta … Even the Doyle family had to crawl in front of such a powerhouse. Who was the castellan to be so arrogant?

Could it be that the mastermind was really the castellan?

Cleveland's acting was very good. He pretended to be disdainful, but also moved. When Darren saw this, he said proudly, "I'm indeed not a match for that Beta, but there's another very noble powerhouse standing behind me. He can deal with that guy."

Cleveland pondered for a while, then put away his disdain and asked solemnly, "Then what should the Doyle family do?"

"Work together!" Darren said, clapping his hands. "With your strength and the power behind me, it's not difficult to deal with two masters. This depends on whether the Doyle family has the guts. "

Cleveland was silent for a long time. He looked at Darren and said slowly, "There's no problem with working together, but how can I be sure that you have the strength to deal with two masters? Also, what benefits will you get from this? "

"You can come with me to see my master later," Darren said indifferently. "As for benefits, I want that golden-haired woman. It doesn't matter if she's dead or alive. Of course, it'd be better if she's alive. "

"You're here for the woman?" Cleveland looked at him strangely.

Darren smiled evilly. "It's fine if you think so, but I still want to remind you that if you can capture the woman alive, you might be able to get great benefits from my master."

Cleveland narrowed his eyes slightly, and then chuckled: "I want to see your master more and more now."
