The Grand Duke of Houston put down his fork, picked up his wine glass, and took a sip.

The sweet wine liquid tightened slightly.

"So... what is the 'Flower of Blessing'?" He raised his head from his glass, looked at Grand Duke Rosario and asked.

Grand Duke Rosario's eyes became sharper.

The gray pupils reminded the Grand Duke of Houston of the cold rocks in the Cold Bone Mountains. Just imagine this concept in his mind, he felt like a light on his back.

Houston avoided Rosario's gaze and looked at Chief of Staff Quentin in a blink of an eye.

The short man with a shrewd beard and well-maintained face was still chewing the beef in his mouth - Quentin chewed very slowly, as slowly as before the decapitation ceremony began, the executioner carefully wiped his blade.

The Chief of Staff of the Imperial Army was chewing and looking at the Grand Duke of Houston with a smile on his eyes.

The Grand Duke of Houston felt sweat oozing out of his palm.

"What are you talking about?" Houston gritted his teeth in a hidden way, continuing his whisper just now and said with a forced smile, "What is this 'Flower of Blessing', what exactly is this?"

"Oh? Do you don't know what the 'Flower of Blessing' is?" Seeing that Grand Duke Rosario's eyes were too long and he had no intention of speaking, Chief Quentin swallowed the meat in his mouth and held the fork and said steadily, "That's strange, because my informant told me that he saw a group of mercenaries from Yanxi City transporting the 'Flower of Blessing' from the East to your territory."

"I know nothing about the 'flower of fertility' you said." Houston suppressed the tremor of his knees and shrugged as naturally as possible. "Dear Chief of Staff Quentin, to be honest, I'm also worried about the bastards and mercenaries on the wasteland. These bloodthirsty madmen can do anything...how, are they causing you trouble?"

Chief Quentin was still holding a fork in his hand, and his body leaned back and leaned against the back of the chair.

The smile on his face did not change, but his eyes seemed rebellious and meaningful.

"Oh, my dear Houston Grand Duke, you may not believe it when you say it. This is a big, a big trouble..."

Houston raised his wine glass to Quentin, muttered "Good luck" and then used the drinking action to hide his panic.

Grand Duke Grim Rosario, who was beside him, finally spoke after a long silence.

His voice was as calm and powerful as his appearance, with the unique magnetism of middle-aged men after war baptism:

"Houston Grand Duke, I hope you can understand that Chief Quentin and I came here from the East to recover the stolen 'Flowers of Blessing' - if, I mean, if you have any clues about the 'Flowers of Blessing', the Chief Quentin and I will pay you enough to satisfy you."

The Grand Duke of Houston was a little afraid to look at Grand Duke Rosario in the eyes.

The other party was obviously a generation younger than him and was even a young man in the imperial political arena, but the Grand Duke of Houston really didn't dare to look at him.

The sharp eyes that he had developed on the battlefield in the Eastern Front are far beyond what the wealthy landlord, a trapped landlord in the south, could bear.

The Grand Duke of Houston weighed the current situation in his heart while cutting the beef from the silver plate with a dining knife:

Rosario and Quentin, did they know that the "Flowers of Blessings" were sent back from Yongri City?

——No, not necessarily, no clues were left in the whole process...

The leader of the Mustafa Grand Head has always been clean, and the purchase process of "Flowers of Blessings" is completed on the black market in the name of the mercenary group. His grand justice in the southern border should not have been exposed...

Now the "Flowers of Blessing" are still hidden in the basement of the "Monastery of the Top of the Holy Light"...

Even if the two old foxes, Rosario and Quentin, saw some clues, were only doubting themselves at most...

There is nothing to be afraid of.

The Grand Duke Houston, who had given himself a reassurance, raised his head again, and his tone had become much calmer:

"I'm very sorry, I don't have any clues about what you're looking for - if I get anything about...uh, 'Flower of Blessing', right...If I have any news about 'Flower of Blessing', I'll definitely notify you right away."

Grand Duke Rosario looked at him with a squint for a moment, without saying a word;

But the Chief of Staff Quentin, opposite the table, continued to sarcastically:

"Oh? I hope your news channels are as strong as your psychological quality..."

"Enough!" The Grand Duke Houston, who no longer wants to endure this kind of torture, slapped the table and said with a stern look, "I'm having a good dinner with you! I don't care what happened to you in the East, what's the use of asking for the 'Flower of Prosperity'. Since I don't know what I said, please stop this topic and have a good meal!"

However, Chief Quentin, who looks gentle on the surface, is obviously a tough guy at heart.

Facing the angry master, Quentin crossed his legs and sneered, pointing his fork far away to the Grand Duke of Houston:

"Houston Grand Duke, I have experienced countless battles and planned countless actions in my life, and what I don't believe the most is "coincidence"! Our Eastern Legion just found the "Blossom of Blessing" from the mountains, and then the "Blossom of Blessing" was stolen bizarrely? The "Blossom of Blessing" just appeared on the black market in Yongri City, and there was a mercenary team from the southern wasteland, running from the eastern border to your territory in a hurry? Houston Grand Duke, I warn you, the "Blossom of Blessing" is not only extremely precious, but also related to the general situation of the empire. I don't want anyone to try to take it for themselves because of their own selfish interests!"

"I! I said it! I! No! I know!" The Grand Duke Houston also completely turned his temper and slapped the knife on the table with one palm.

Patriarch Delicht, who had been frightened by the momentum of several other senior officials and kept silent with his neck shrank, weakly said his first sentence since the banquet began:

"Kun, Chief of Staff of Quentin, the Holy Spirit will bless you to retrieve your lost things..."

But this sentence tried to be mixed with the mixed soup, but it didn't work at all.

Quentin, who was already drunk, even sneered:

"The Holy Spirit? How many corps does He have? Our Imperial Army headquarters always rely on himself to capture evil and thieves!"

The fat pastor, who was inexplicably choked, suddenly turned blue and white.

He realized sadly that with the development of the times, the faith of the Holy Spirit, whose dignity was increasingly declining due to his never-being saint, had no authority at all for these long-standing Eastern Army officers!

This made the old Patriarch, who had been bullied by the Grand Duke of Houston in the southern region, feel extremely sad.

"Anyway!" The Grand Duke of Houston slapped the table and said tremblingly, "Chief Quentin, I hope this topic of "Flowers of Blessings" can end here!"

Quentin snorted coldly and wanted to say something else, but Grand Duke Rosario stopped the dispute in a deep voice:

"Okay, that's it. Houston Grand Duke, the 'Flowers of Blessing' is extremely important to our military operations. If there is any information related to this in Rock Creek City, please pay more attention."

"It's easy to say." The Grand Duke of Houston quickly stepped down and sat back on his seat with anger.

However, before he could come up with anything to ease the tension with Chief Quentin, a maid hurriedly broke into the restaurant.

Houston's grand justice wanted to scold his servant for his rudeness, but he was attracted by a secret letter from his maid;

The letter is stuck with a partridge hair, indicating that it comes from the mercenaries of the "Barrel Wind" mercenary group.

The Grand Duke of Houston accused the guests, walked to the corner, opened the secret letter and started reading it.

Then, this old nobleman who spent a lot of money to obtain the "Flowers of Blessings" for a long time was completely scared to the spot by the shocking news that the "Monastery of the Holy Light" had just been stolen.
