Chapter 103: Alice’s Terrifying Transformation

Joey immediately took a deep breath and took the initiative to break the atmosphere, but his tone was still gentle. “My dear Alice, what did you mean by saying there’s another path to take?”

Alice slowly withdrew her smooth hands and said, “Please don’t take away our castle and property. The White family is willing to become a vassal of the Frank family…”

Smelling Alice’s fragrance in the air, Joey’s gentle expression suddenly became ferocious!

He directly grabbed Adrian’s neck and said in a deep voice, “Hahaha! Now is the best time for the Frank family to dominate the holy city!”

“All the nobles here will become my servants! Your White family is already on the verge of death! You can’t provide any fighting strength! You’re completely worthless! You actually have the audacity to ask to be my vassal! How ridiculous…”

Then, he turned to Alice and said, “Especially you!”

However, Alice seemed to be very different today. After experiencing so much, she had gradually forgotten about her fear and hesitation.

Right now, she only had hatred in her heart!

Hatred for the Federal Academy!

Hatred for Locke!

In order to destroy the Federal Academy, in order to kill Locke!

She was willing to do anything!

“Is the current White family really not worth anything?” Alice winked at Joey and continued, “I know that the Frank family is currently in control of the federal court in the city and you have many business plans lined up…”

“But our white family still controls some important businesses in the Federal continent, such as arms and the sale of slaves. If my brother and I don’t step in, your Frank family will still be unable to interfere in these two areas…”

Alice’s words were definitely not a bluff. This was the complete truth.

The White family was very experienced in these two businesses. Most of their family’s prosperity had come from these two businesses.

Moreover, the family’s many generations of management over the two fields had already gained them the nickname “The Whites of the Holy City” in these two fields.

Such an advantage was not something that anyone could obtain quickly!

Not even the powerful Frank family!

Bang!

Joey seemed to be interested. After throwing Adrian out of his hand, he looked at Alice with his blue eyes and said, “Continue…”

Seeing that her plan had succeeded, Alice smiled and said, “If you let my family survive, then my brother and I will give you half of the profits from this business every year as tribute…”

Looking at this charming little vixen, Joey licked his lips and said with a smile, “Hahaha… I was almost fooled by you! Yes, your family does have an outstanding advantage in these two fields.”

“But!”! “You seem to have forgotten that it’s because you and Adrian are still alive in this world! If we kill you, we can make the White family disappear completely! Then the influence of the Whites will also be meaningless! Once I rule the holy city, will the merchants in these two fields not miss the revenue from the Holy City?”

“Of course they’ll miss it! At that time, they will sincerely kneel at the feet of me, the King of the Holy City, and propose to cooperate!”

“At that point, who would still remember the White family?”

Joey’s domineering reply made Alice panic a little. She did not expect that the head of the Frank family was even crazier than his father. He actually wanted to completely rule the Holy City and become the king here!

However, after thinking for a while, she finally found a way to persuade him.

After sneering twice, she said, “You and I are both from noble families. I believe that you should understand the way for nobles to continue advancing…”

Hearing this, Joey and Clement’s bodies trembled slightly.

Their discreet move did not escape Alice’s eyes. She cleared her throat and continued, “I know you’re an ambitious person, but don’t forget the White family’s identity…”

“We are Counts!”

Alice’s words did not seem to have much to do with the current situation, but in reality, they hit Joey hard!

It was also what Joey feared about the most!

The White family’s ancestors used to be ordinary Beastmasters, but by chance, one of them had saved the Emperor of the Federal Continent on the battlefield.

He had been conferred the title of Count, and the family had been rich ever since then!

Seeing that the two of them had nothing to say, Alice knew that her plan B had succeeded. She crossed her arms and said, “As far as I know, your Frank family seems to have started out in the fishing industry, right? hahahaha… Moreover, you guys had to send money up to get your current Viscount titles…”

While she was speaking, Clement had already pulled out the two knives on his back. “Master! Let me kill this rude bitch!”

Unexpectedly, Joey shouted, “Shut up! Let her continue!”

Alice, who had already anticipated Joey’s reaction, did not stop, “I know that your biggest wish now is to completely dominate the holy city like the King of Wind City! But don’t forget that our Federation’s title of nobility is very strict! Viscounts and barons that have remained in their ranks can be found throughout the continent!”

“I’m afraid it won’t be that easy to continue to rise, right?” Then, she looked at Joey with her charming eyes, her tone also became gentler. “Of course! Brother Joey, I really admire you. Whether it’s your strength or your courage, you’re one of the best in the current Holy City! But I don’t know if the emperor will think that way. After all, only he has the power to change the rank of nobility! Perhaps in 40 to 50 years, he will remember that there is a capable Viscount in the distant holy city, and then decide to give the Holy City to him…”

These words were like a knife wrapped in honey, accurately stabbing Joey’s heart!

The rank of a Duke! It was the thing he wanted the most! It was a goal that he was prepared to fight for throughout the rest of his life!

Just as Alice had said, it was impossible for him, a mere viscount of the Frank family, to be promoted to a Duke!

‘I still need to wait for 40 to 50 years?’

‘No, I refuse!’

Joey did not want even want to wait for another 10 years!

This guy’s greed and ambition had pervaded every corner of the castle hall!

Everyone could feel it!

Looking at the muscles on this guy’s face that were constantly trembling from excitement, Alice finally threw out her final move!

She said, “I am willing to get engaged to you! And let Adrian hand over the title of Count to you!”

“Of course! To complete this matter, Adrian and I must be allowed to live! And we must live with dignity at that!”
