Chapter 353: Adams's Shame!

~7 min read 1,264 words

"So, that fellow will be confined to bed for the rest of his life, or will need someone to help him walk?"

"Yes! My lord! Haha, you don't know how satisfying it was! Captain Knight Mi Gen Gen and I saw it all clearly through the telescope in the air!"

"Well done, Knight Mi Gen Gen. You've also vented my anger for me!"

"My lord, this is what I should do! That damn fellow was simply too arrogant! How dare he show such disrespect to you!"

Gervas nodded. "I believe that fellow will behave himself from now on!"

He must behave himself.

Having lost both legs, that fellow can no longer serve in the Eagle City Civil Affairs Office.

Thus, he has no value left for Minister Weilade.

This outcome is absolutely more painful for him than death.

"By the way, Knight Mi Gen Gen, I have another matter for you to handle!"

"My lord, what is it? Just give the order!"

Gervas took a letter from his chest. "I need you to go to the seaside, then take a ship north to find the Marquis Marquis Aosiding family fleet's vessels..."

It was night!

The Marquis Marquis Aosiding family naval fleet base.

"How is it? Any news?"

"Young master Adams, there is no news yet!"

"What should we do? It's only a few days until the expedition. I don't have much time left!"

"Young master Adams, is Lord Harry really in the south? Could it be a ruse to mislead us? Perhaps they are actually coming around from the north!"

"After all, the south side of our Hou Jue's Marquis Marquis Aosiding territory borders directly on the Southern Region! And the Southern Region is full of minor nobles; hardly any estates along the coastline can afford sea ships, let alone someone like Lord Harry who possesses a three-masted warship!"

"No! Vice-Commander Wolf, I think the possibility of Lord Harry coming from the north is very small!"

"Because the further north you go, the more developed the coastal shipping and trade become! The appearance of a three-masted warship like his would be extremely conspicuous; it's impossible that not even a single rumor would arise!"

"On the contrary, continuing south from our Marquis Marquis Aosiding family, there is almost no sea shipping, which would allow Lord Harry to keep better secrets!"

"Additionally, we cannot yet determine whether Lord Harry is a lord himself or merely working for his family with a secret base!"

After hearing this, Wolf felt that his young master's words indeed made sense.

"Young master, then I will continue to dispatch more sea ships, heading deeper south to see if there are any traces of Lord Harry!"

After hearing this, Adams was about to say something, but at that moment, an announcement suddenly came from outside the door.

"Report! Young master Adams, Commander Wolf, the Flying Fish has returned! They report that they encountered Lord Harry's fleet!"

"Encountered Lord Harry's ship? Really? Did you see Lord Harry? Did you deliver my letter to Lord Harry?!" Adams immediately stood up, overjoyed.

"Young master Adams, the captain of the Flying Fish said he did not see Lord Harry, but only saw one of Lord Harry's subordinates. However, he received a letter for you from that subordinate of Lord Harry's!"

"A letter for me? Quickly, bring him up!"

Soon, the captain of the Flying Fish was brought into the study.

"Greetings, Young master Adams!"

"Did you really encounter Lord Harry's ship and bring Lord Harry's letter?"

"Yes, Young master Adams! This is the letter that Lord Harry's subordinate handed to me!"

Speaking thus, the subordinate handed over the letter.

Looking at the letter handed to him by the subordinate, Adams forced himself to suppress his excitement as he took it.

Of course, at present he could not yet determine if the letter was genuine, so he must open it to verify.

Confirming the wax seal was intact, Adams wasted no time and immediately opened the letter.

And after reading the beginning of the letter, he was completely certain of its authenticity.

'Adams, seeing this letter is like seeing me; more than a month has passed since we last parted!'

'I heard that your Marquis Marquis Aosiding family is also on the kingdom's conscription list this time!'

'I think you are no longer that cowardly young master who stood by the sea cliff, afraid to face difficulties!'

"So, this time you will definitely choose to join the conscription voluntarily and head north to fight, correct?"

"After all, although this campaign is dangerous, it is also your best opportunity to consolidate your position as heir!"

"Moreover, I think you certainly understand that since you achieved results in the Marquis Marquis Aosiding family naval fleet, the time you have left is not much!"

"Because before, your threat to your younger brother was not significant; he did not dare to use too drastic a means to compete with you for the position of heir!"

"But now, the abilities you have displayed have made him feel threatened, and it is a huge threat!"

"Then he will try every means to deal with you, just like the pirate alliance before."

"Of course, his methods next may be even more dangerous, such as seeking help from the Hernandez family!"

"So, you now have neither time nor a way out; either you firmly establish your position as heir, or you are completely defeated by your brother with external help!"

"I think, between these two, Adams, you will definitely make a reasonable choice!"

"Additionally, as your friend and business partner, I certainly will not sit idly by while you are in danger!"

"So, during this campaign in the next Northern Region, if there is an opportunity, I will also try to give you some help. Keep this half of the badge safe!"

"Later in the next Northern Region, if I really send someone to find you, it will be the token!"

"Of course, I believe that you now possess a more mature mindset and can achieve merit in this campaign in the next Northern Region on your own!"

"So, Adams, let me wish you a triumphant start right now, and firmly secure the family heir's throne!"

"Your friend, Harry Potter!"

"Lord Harry!" After reading the letter, Adams's hands trembled, and his excited emotions could not calm down for a long time.

He felt both shame and gratitude!

Naturally, Lord Harry was ashamed that he had assumed the man would certainly choose to join this kingdom's campaign.

Yet quite the opposite; he had been hesitating all along, even dispatching ships to seek out Lord Harry and ask for his opinion.

One could say this was not merely cowardice, but stupidity.

For Lord Harry's letter had already explained his own situation.

Yet he remained unaware, even feeling smug after recently turning defeat into victory against the pirate alliance!

Now that he thought about it, his younger brother had been acting out of character these past days, no longer causing him trouble.

It was not because the combined pirate incident had been thwarted by him, making his brother feel guilty.

Rather, he was biding his time, brewing an even greater scheme.

Had it not been for Lord Harry's letter, he would still have remained unaware.

Moreover, at the end of the letter, Lord Harry had also said he would find a way to help him in the war in the Northern Realm!

Such a favor...

"Lord Harry! You help me so much; how can I possibly repay you?"

Adams gripped the half-badge tightly, his expression filled with gratitude.
