I just want to spend my twilight years at home with my grandchildren...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three men nodded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Jonas is already seventy-eight!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jonas’s tone changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But what if they are unwilling?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They can rely on the might of the army to breach Aiden’s manor and plunder everything Aiden has.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They can equally break into our territory, our manor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And then, they can seize the fruits and achievements we’ve painstakingly cultivated for generations...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three men opposite Jonas fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jonas continued speaking, \"Therefore, we must take proper precautions!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We must form a defense alliance, working together to resist foreign threats.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you think?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Banaby and Theodore exchanged a glance but did not answer immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Will also remained silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not until half an hour later did the four men step out of the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their expressions varied, with not a single word of farewell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Descending to the first floor, Jonas watched as Theodore and Banaby got into their respective carriages, escorted by several guards, and headed out of the town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Retracting his gaze, he looked at Will beside him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why didn’t you side with me just now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Jonas’s questioning, Will’s face tightened, hurriedly explaining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master Jonas, you’ve misunderstood.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The power of your manor is too strong, and if I overtly align myself with you, it will surely arouse Banaby and Theodore’s suspicion.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Morgan Town needs balance, or else, trouble will ensue...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jonas’s eyelids narrowed slightly, his words somewhat ambiguous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Balance, hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that’s how it is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought it was because you’d forgotten it was I, Jonas, who helped you become the Manor Lord of Arnold Manor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was I who secretly arranged for someone to eliminate your father and your two brothers!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Otherwise, you’d still be clearing wasteland now!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to Jonas bring up past events once more, Will’s body bent over, his head bowed respectfully as he said, \"Naturally, I wouldn’t forget, Master Jonas.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have bestowed upon Will the grace of creation!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jonas said nothing, pacing towards the nearby carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Jonas was about to step into the carriage, his calm voice sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s good that you remember.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Will Manor, this grace must be repaid!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Will’s bowed head lowered even further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until the sound of horses’ hooves and wheels gradually faded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Will lift his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, on Will’s still fairly handsome young face, it was filled with a ferocious expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even, in those light blue eyes, streaks of blood appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside Morgan Town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Escorted by over twenty guards, a four-horse drawn carriage was traveling at a steady pace on the gravel road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside Jonas, a slender young woman with a delicate face sat cross-legged on a silk cushion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe because of the road’s bumps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young woman’s curvy body was slightly swaying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such that the snow-white area in front of her was bobbing like waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young woman looked at Jonas, softly inquiring, \"Grandfather, they didn’t agree to your request?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jonas, who had been looking out the carriage window at the night outside, retracted his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at his granddaughter, Janet, and sighed, \"Yes, Janet, they said they needed to consider it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Janet’s delicate face, a hint of coldness appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They need to consider?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since when did a group of animals, driven by their lower bodies, grow a brain?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jonas said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Janet continued, \"Grandfather, didn’t you explain to them the disadvantages of not forming a defense line?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that Lord leads his army to invade each of their manor territories, who can withstand it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even Grandfather’s manor, under the guard of so many soldiers, might only barely fend off the attack.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But what about them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The armed forces in the territories, combined, only number around fifteen to sixteen hundred, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jonas responded affirmatively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Janet’s gaze shifted slightly, and after a few seconds, she seemed to think of something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grandfather, since we temporarily can’t find the owner of that army, I think we can do something ourselves?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jonas inquired confusedly, \"Do what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Janet spoke, \"Naturally, to promote the unification of Morgan Town!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Grandfather, have you forgotten?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was you who always taught us that to achieve great things, we must be unscrupulous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And Morgan Town is just the starting point for the Frank Clan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The real goal of the Frank Clan is to replace Marquis Duca and become a Great Lord!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jonas quickly nodded, \"Janet, I haven’t forgotten!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Jonas’s firm response, Janet showed a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She opened her arms and hugged Jonas’s arm, carelessly letting the softness in front of her twist and deform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Janet said joyfully, \"Hehe, I knew it, Grandfather is different from those pig-like Lords.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next morning.\u003C\u002Fp>",839,"2026-05-29T04:50:48.604Z","2026-06-01T04:29:11.989Z",1,"novelbin.me","d8078f977954bc3e3d260ae51d5418d3790c2e6cca4a0fc61a2f2aee7cc7af5a","system-build-my-own-territory-chapter-466","system-build-my-own-territory-chapter-464",979,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsystem-build-my-own-territory-cover.jpg"]
