Novel Full Chapter 92 At the Baron’s Estate
Chapter 92 At the Baron’s Estate?
“Baron Irwin? Are you going to make a deal with another baron, brother?” Nina asked with interest.
She was very interested in the family business. Still, her brother had always been very mysterious when talking about such things with her.
However, as someone with various weaknesses and who might not have a promising future, she wanted to learn the family business and try to help her older brother somehow.
Nina had not walked properly since the incident years ago. At the time, a 3rd stage doctor had told Andrew worrying things about her future. After years, she and Vicente were slowly learning to deal with some of these problems in practice.
But Nina’s ability to regenerate and adapt was higher than that doctor thought. After years, she had regained some of her mobility. Her motor skills had greatly improved, among many other improvements. Even her mana control had skyrocketed in those years!
The only thing that hadn’t improved was her hearing.
But even with her various evolutions, Nina herself realized that she was magically very different from her peers and didn’t have many expectations of getting a Magic Gem.
No one needed to tell her what the doctor had told Andrew years ago. She felt for herself and wanted to help her brother in other ways.
Unfortunately, Vice didn’t want her involved in his affairs for some reason.
Vice replied to his sister, “Yes. I will see if there is a chance for us to do business.”
“What is the relevance of doing business with this person, brother? Is there a problem with our other customers?” Nine pressed the issue, knowing that as crucial as it was to do business with Barons, it was ideal for someone who already had a deal with half a dozen Barons to approach a Viscount.
“There’s no problem, Nina. Don’t worry, just keep studying and having fun.” Vice smiled at her.
He wanted her to have a quiet and carefree life. That’s why he didn’t talk about what he did with Rory and his men, let alone being willing to teach her his art.
One might think that it would be good for him to teach her. After all, something might happen to him, and she might need skills to earn coins and support herself without depending on others.
But the world was not that simple. Could a disabled and possibly not very promising girl run a business?
Even if she knew how to do business, would anyone allow her to run anything? A bold subordinate would definitely try to manipulate her or even steal her enterprise.
If he taught her something, it might put her in more danger when he could no longer help her!
That’s why he preferred Nina to be ignorant!
Nina heard Vicente’s answer and once again did not like being left out. But she didn’t say anything. She respected her older brother too much to insist on a conversation he obviously didn’t want to have.
‘One day, I’ll still be involved in the family business, brother! I won’t let you suffer alone!’
…
The next day, Vicente and Rory left Nina and Eve at home and took the family carriage to Baron Irwin’s estate.
Both were very well dressed, and Vicente was not wearing his metal armor as he did when acting on behalf of his side business.
Both young men had hats on their heads and at least three layers of cloth over much of their bodies, enough to make even ugly people look elegant.
Though handsome and physically fit young men, these clothes made them more attractive to young ladies.
When they arrived in front of Baron Irwin’s gorgeous mansion in the noble area of the city, where most of the noble estates were located, they got out of their carriage, attracting the attention of several women in the area.
Like a private neighborhood of residences on Earth, the residences in this part of the city had no walls to protect the integrity of each property.
At most, one would find living fences that decorated rather than protected the place.
In the streets, rich people and nobles who lived in this affluent area walked on the sidewalks with their pets, children, or even alone.
Just like on Earth, there were dangers for nobles and wealthy people to have outdoor activities. But in this area, people of these classes could enjoy themselves without much worry.
As Vicente and Rory stepped out of the carriage to walk to the door of the Irwin residence, they attracted the attention of several ladies who were strolling through the area common to the residents of this neighborhood.
‘What a unique Magic Gem…’ A young red-haired girl, walking next to a four-legged feline creature, thought to herself as she looked at Vicente. 𝓫𝒹ℴ𝓿𝓵.𝓬ℴ𝓶
Seeing that he was heading for the Irwin estate, she pondered. ‘Are the Irwins going to make a new ally? I suppose that’s good news for them. Especially now that young master Irwin is missing…’
‘Could it be that their luck has run out?’ An orange-haired woman across the street thought about it as she looked at Rory, wondering where this guy came from.
People with good talents were usually associated with nobility. Most of them became nobles as they grew stronger or descended from nobles.
Imagining that the Irwin family was about to gain a new ally, the young blonde frowned and lamented the end of this arrogant young man’s family’s misfortune.
‘Tsk! I hope you have died, Sean! A pervert like you deserves to die!’ She clenched her fists, ignoring what her friend was saying in her ear.
“Shelby, are you looking at those guys? You shouldn’t be doing that! You’re engaged to young master Symons! I hear he’s very jealous.” The friend walking next to the young orange-haired woman? said, warning her friend.
“And that’s why I can’t look at other people? My goodness, Alice!” The blonde declared as she looked ahead, sighing inwardly.
“I hate these people! Damned arrogant nobles! They think they own people!”
Vicente and Rory didn’t know what the people watching them in the area were thinking, and soon they were standing in front of the front door of their destination where a butler and a maid were standing on either side of the door.
“Mr. Fuller? Mr. Point? Are you here to see Baron Irwin?” The old man with a goatee asked while the servant looked curiously but silently at the symbol on Vicente’s forehead.
“We are. Are we too early?” Vicente smiled as he greeted these people with respect.
He had learned from his Don on Earth that treating people like these well could sometimes lead to unimaginable things. Since then, he has always treated his subordinates well, no matter how small they were.
“Not at all. Please accompany us. The Baron is getting ready, but he shouldn’t be long.” The butler led the way into this grand residence, less grand than the Baron Vice had met in Saltstar City but still very magnificent.
Not all barons were alike!
As they entered, the maid promptly explained in a low voice some of the people and artifacts they saw on their way to the waiting room.
