System: Build My Own Territory Chapter 1245 - 333: The Price of Cooperation

"Bring him in!"

Jared responded, gently pushed open the wooden door, and with a creaking sound, the door opened.

Jared spoke to Gasper.

"Please come in!"

Gasper nodded slightly and stepped inside.

Under Jared’s guidance, Gasper turned past the front folding screen and entered the study.

Gasper’s eyes moved, surveying the room.

The lavish decorations, various solid wood furniture, and a glazed crystal chandelier hanging from the dome emitting a bright light.

Sir Ludovico Dons sat upright behind the dark brown walnut desk.

Ludovico glanced at Jared.

Without any words, Jared bowed, saluted, and left the study.

Until the screen was behind him and the sound of the door closing echoed.

Ludovico stared directly at Gasper and asked in a deep voice.

"Can you tell this Sir who your master is now?"

Facing the aura of authority emanating from Ludovico.

Gasper remained calm, speaking with tranquility.

"Sir, in Gasper’s view, who my master is and what their name is..."

"Isn’t important to you!"

Seeing Gasper’s composed and serene demeanor, Ludovico couldn’t help but frown.

Obviously.

This middle-aged man who called himself Gasper possessed incredible mental fortitude and stability!

Gasper continued, "What matters is whether my master can help you, Sir!"

Ludovico spoke in a deep voice, "You keep saying you want to help this Sir..."

"Tell me, what difficulties is this Sir facing now?"

Gasper nodded calmly, without any nonsense, straight to the point.

"Firstly, a few days ago, Bishop Simo of the Church faced an assassination attempt by the Raven Killer."

"Unfortunately, the Raven Killer failed to eliminate Simo."

"Simo has already instructed the Church Guard to search the entire city and capture the Raven Killer!"

Ludovico immediately countered, "What does that have to do with me?"

"Are you suggesting that I, Ludovico, hired the Raven Killer to assassinate Bishop Simo?"

"What kind of joke is this?"

"I am a devout believer in the Church! I pay the tithe every year..."

Ludovico’s voice grew louder, but it stopped instantly when he heard Gasper’s calm words.

"Riverside Rest Tavern!"

Ludovico’s face instantly showed surprise.

"You... you, what did you say?"

Gasper repeated, "Fisherman’s Wharf, Riverside Rest Tavern!"

Ludovico’s eyes narrowed, suddenly standing up, with both hands propped on the table.

"You... what are you talking about?"

Gasper raised an eyebrow and smiled calmly.

"Sir Ludovico, there’s a saying that goes well — If you want no one to know, better not do it!"

"Oh, and there’s another saying that goes well — There are no walls impermeable to the wind!"

Watching Gasper pacing in front of the desk.

Ludovico’s gaze quickly changed, and the palms resting on the table turned into fists.

While Ludovico was pondering in his mind.

Gasper continued, "Sir Ludovico, you need not feel any tension or pressure!"

"As I mentioned to Jared during the notification."

"Gasper is here by my master’s order, to relieve Sir of your worries and solve your problems."

Hearing Gasper’s sincere words.

Ludovico’s tense body gradually relaxed and he sat back on the wooden chair.

Seeing Ludovico calm down, Gasper’s heart also relaxed.

If Ludovico felt excessive pressure and crisis.

Ludovico might call in the guards from the manor and have him silenced immediately.

With just his own power, it was simply impossible to escape from Ludovico’s manor!

Taking an unnoticeable breath of warm air, Gasper continued.

"Secondly, whether or not Sir hired the Raven Killer to assassinate Simo... this is not important!"

"Because, for Bishop Simo to become the new leader of Kakasong City, he must eliminate the opposing forces within the city."

"As far as Gasper knows, Sir has many disagreements with Bishop Simo in various places."

"Engaging in open and hidden struggles for interests?"

"Even, Sir has allied with many Free Nobles..."

Ludovico did not say anything, implicitly acknowledging Gasper’s words.

Gasper continued, "Regardless of whether it’s the first or the second issue."

"Simo will use his bishop’s position to eliminate anyone like you who poses various threats to his becoming the new leader of Kakasong City!"

Ludovico squinted his eyes.

The words spoken by Gasper were clear, accurate, and easily understood.

He naturally understood the meaning within.

Ludovico pondered for a brief moment and then asked.

"If your master is to assist this Sir, how will he help?"

"Or rather, what does this Sir need to do?"

Gasper’s footsteps stopped abruptly, he turned his body, and stared at Ludovico, saying.

"My master has instructed me to come and tell Sir."

"You can form a partnership!"

Ludovico asked with curiosity.

"A partnership...?"

Gasper nodded in response, "Yes, Sir."

"My master told me to inform you that as long as a partnership is reached."

"You may boldly attempt to strive to become the new leader of Kakasong City."

"My master will provide various forms of assistance to the partner."

"Including... strong military aid!"

Ludovico’s eyebrows instantly raised, "Strong military aid?"

The next second.

Ludovico thought of something, and exclaimed with some surprise.

"Is it Lord Lynn of Morgan Town, known as the Fire of Lorraine, behind you?"

Gasper smiled faintly, neither confirming nor denying.

Noting Gasper’s expression, Ludovico became more convinced that he hadn’t guessed wrong.

Currently in Kakasong City, Jon Zuck and his supporter Manor Lords have been annihilated.

Other than Lord Lynn of Morgan Town, who possesses great military strength.

Who else has powerful military strength?

Of course.

There are many powerful lords outside of Kakasong City.

However.

The more powerful the lord.

The less they care about this backward agricultural and economically underdeveloped small town.

Besides Lord Lynn.

Ludovico couldn’t think of anyone else capable of entering Kakasong City to provide military aid!

Suppressing his suspicions, Ludovico stared at Gasper and asked.

"If one were to partner with Lord Lynn, what kind of price would this Sir need to pay?"

"This Sir does not believe that Lord Lynn, who could bury the entire army of Jon Zuck in the fire."

"Would provide military aid to someone they’ve never met, without any motives!"

Gasper responded with a smile, saying.

"Of course!"

"To gain my master’s help, naturally requires a price."

"As for what the price of partnership is... Sir, you will need to negotiate personally!"
