Chapter 206: The Necessity of Squeezing Into the Circle of the Powerful
“Even you know about this?” Leon was somewhat surprised.
He had not expected that Johnny had specifically come to find him just to discuss something like this.
“After the Earl’s death, you should pay attention to matters in noble circles, especially since you are trying to enter this circle now. I guess you probably do not know that about half a month ago, Marquis Veronia had already held a gathering in his own territory. Those who attended included Marquis Lorraine, as well as his daughter, the current Countess Foyle who manages the Foyle Region, and several other influential figures from the East.”
At this point, a sarcastic smile suddenly appeared on Johnny’s face. “I do not really understand why the powerful figures of the East suddenly gathered together for a meeting. But I think you might know the reason. How about explaining it to me?”
Leon could tell that Johnny was mocking the matter of him killing the Earl. The Earl had disappeared for so long that, no matter how optimistic the people connected to him were, they had basically already concluded that he was dead.
With the Earl’s death, the eastern noble group had lost one of its main pillars, so they would inevitably need to consider countermeasures.
The most powerful and core group of people would naturally gather together to find a solution.
“Who knows? That is really hard to guess.” Leon shamelessly replied. “So Marquis Veronia’s banquet invitation is also related to this?”
“I made a little investigation. On the surface, this banquet is to celebrate that he recently bought a new estate in Helenburg, so he invited the nobles of River Valley County and the surrounding regions to gather together.” Johnny said.
