Chapter 202 Persuasion

Ashu Rufat immediately realized that Ajin was deliberately waiting for him here. Because Ajin's business was already doing very well, it was unlikely that he would be wandering on the road outside the Hawks and Falcon City in such an ordinary carriage.

"Ajin..." Ashu Rufat stopped his horse. In a short time, the green carriage came to his mount, and Ajin's fat face had also returned to the carriage.

"It's you, Ash Rufate!" Ajin's expression seemed a little nervous, and a little relieved. These two contradictory expressions were wonderfully combined on the same face. "Why, are you going back to the city?" Ajin asked.

"This is obvious." Ash Rufate replied. He noticed Ajin's concerns, because at this time he was surrounded by more than a dozen guards. As the saying goes, there are too many people and many words cannot be said.

"Anyway, it's nothing. Can you talk to old friends when they meet?" A Jin is worthy of being a businessman. His best attitude is to change his mind and observe his words. "There is a very good shop here, let's have a drink with me."

This reason is always universal. Even if you can't really convince people, at least it will not be visible to people. A few minutes later, Ashu Rufate asked his subordinates to leave with his horse and board the carriage.

"Ash Rufate!" Ajin watched the other soldiers go away and finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Do you know why I'm waiting for you here?" he asked in a tone with lingering fear.

"Why? Wait, you answer me first, how do you know I'm here? I mean, how do you know I'm going to pass here today?"

"Nonsense, I've been waiting for you here for three days!"

"What happened?"

"This time... it took three months for you to lead the army to suppress the rebellion." A Jin's face was very fat, without any expression, and naturally he looked smiling. But at this moment, his face was clearly mixed with anger and fear. "In the past three months... a lot of things have happened."

"What kind of thing? What is the most important thing?"

"Ash Rufate, our affairs are known." Akin said in a low voice. "Prime Minister Alyn... Suddenly, he sent troops to surround my chamber of commerce and moved all the books and so on. If the church hadn't helped, I would have been arrested."

"Then what?"

"Nonsense, they checked for three days before they sent the things back! Even if those people were idiots, they had found out the truth. Our deal has been exposed!" A Jin looked as if he was disappointed. "Now they all know about us...theft of the treasury."

To Ajin's surprise, Ash Rufate did not show any nervous and shaken expressions at all. Instead, he just smiled faintly. "So that's the case, I understand. Is there anything else?"

A Jin's expression became very complicated. "So that legend is true?" he asked suddenly.

"What kind of legend?"

"Someone in the city is saying that what you did in Fornoros... was instructed by the queen." When talking about the word "Fornoros", Ajin couldn't help but shivered, and looked up at Ashu Rufate's face, as if he wanted to carefully identify whether the man in front of him was a friend who made money with him. "Because of this, no matter what kind of crime you committed, you will not be held accountable."

"To be specific," said Ashu Rufate.

The news revealed by Ajin was completely expected, because many days have passed, so this matter has spread all over the world. This kind of thing could not have become a secret, so no one really tried to suppress the news. At this moment, even if the official of the Eagle City still kept silent, it was already in the public.

"Ashu Rufat, remind you that public opinion is very bad for you," Ajin said. "It is also very bad for the little queen now. If she shows a little bit of protection towards you, then public opinion will change from targeting you to targeting her! In other words, no matter what promise she made to you, it may be difficult to fulfill now."

"Ajin, according to our country's tradition, what crime will such a thing become in the end? What kind of consequence will it be? If it is handled as lightest," Ashu Rufate asked calmly.

"The lightest one is also a charge of 'dominant' and 'indiscriminate killing of innocent people'." Ajin said. "I think at least it is also a deprivation of aristocrat status, territory, position, etc., and a hat of 'never hired'."

"Then there is nothing to be afraid of." Ash Rufate replied.

"There is nothing to be afraid of!" Ajin said seriously. "Ashu Rufate, this means... all your past adventures and efforts have become nothing!"

"If it really became like that, maybe it would be better for me." Ashu Rufate replied. "By the way, how is the business?"

"It's so good..." As he said this, Ajin immediately started to dance. "Hmph, Ashu Rufat, you will be surprised when I get the bonus."

"By the way, has our contract... been suspended?"

"This cannot be stopped!" Ajin answered firmly. On the issue of interests, he always insisted on it to the end and meticulously. "Aren't you a legal finance minister? Didn't Her Majesty personally sign and stamp the contract? Who can stop this contract? At least one year left... This means at least two million Jin Oli's net profit."

"Well, it's good that it's not stopped." Ashu Rufat said. "By the way, where is Rotia? How is her situation now?"

"Ah, this, she is more glorious than me." Ajin said a little emotional. "On the one hand, she became the temporary teacher of the little queen, entering and leaving the palace, and on the other hand, she heard that she had completely integrated the underground forces of the entire Eagle City. You see, I also benefited a lot from her."

Previously, due to Byron, the underground world of Eagle City suffered a heavy, even fatal blow. Almost all gangs were uprooted and destroyed unreasonably, and the rest also escaped and hid. Among all those who could be called "leaders", only Rotia was staying openly in Eagle City (no doubt, she must have made some deals with Byron). Then after the storm passed, she clung to the friendship between Eshu Rufate and the little queen. With this wonderful method of turning the rain and clouds, she successfully became the master of this underground world.

"So that's it?" Asu Rufate whispered.

"Ash Rufate, you really don't care about this... being treated as a floor cloth... lost?" Ajin couldn't see through Ash Rufate. To be fair, Ajin actually cared about this matter very much. On the one hand, he was standing as a friend, and on the other hand, he was also because of his selfishness. After all, for a businessman, having a friend who is at the top of the country is really a useful capital.

"A Jin, what kind of person do you think I look like? I mean it feels like."

"A soldier, or mercenary." Ajin answered on the matter. "It was similar to when we first met."

"Haha..." Asu Ruffatt replied. "Actually, thinking about it, maybe the reason why I went to a far place thousands of miles back then was to fulfill a very slim engagement, probably because I felt that I was a little tired of being a soldier."

"So," he replied softly. "It's really a bit depressing to turn around and be this general. Maybe resigning and returning home is a better choice for me."

"What do you mean, that's completely different!" A Jin's eyes were glaring out. "Hraining a mercenary is a job without a future! But now, you can... the future is unlimited! Not to mention a mere general, even a king is not impossible!"

"king?"

"Shh, don't be so loud." Ajin looked back at the coachman behind this time. Although the coachman was undoubtedly selected by him personally, it didn't look so reliable. "Ashu Rufat, you should understand that our little queen is already thirteen years old. By the standards of aristocratic, this age is enough to be engaged... In another year or two, that is, when she is fourteen or five years old, she will be enough to get married. Who do you think this future husband is?"

"oh……"

"Byron has died all his family. Everyone knows that Rafa has no show to sing... Hehe, in other words, he is a famous flower now. Hehe, I'm going to tell you that there are thousands of people from all over the world who gather in Eagle City with this ambition. I dare not say that there are thousands of people in the world, and dozens or hundreds of people will definitely not be missing. Think about it, Ashu Rufate, even if you continue to work in this position, you will have a chance! Once you get married, create momentum, make public opinion, etc., at least half of the chances will be able to win the throne. Not to mention anything else, there are not many visitors from other countries during this period. Even the little Grufiz who had slipped away before has returned."

Ash Rufate curled his lips without comment.

"I know you have a fiancée... Well, it doesn't matter if you don't care about this, but you can't deny that mercenaries are a profession with no future and no respect. But you are now in a position that is respected and promising. The monarch is full of eyes and will be successful in the future! So you should find a way to turn the unfavorable situation around, instead of giving up everything without confidence." Ajin persuaded Ash Rufate with great sincerity.

"Actually... I'm a little too deeply involved in this matter," Ash Rufate replied. "Maybe...... I'll pull my feet back before I'm really trapped in the quagmire... is a good choice."

"Did you... know something?" After all, Ajin was a person who had been rolling in the business world. He quickly calculated something from Ash Rufate's expression and tone.

"Well, Ajin, you know, in a sense, holding an official position in the court is similar to serving as a staff member of a chamber of commerce. If you encounter a boss who is very inappropriate..., then one of the methods of subordinates is to leave."

"There is indeed such a boss. No matter how hard you work and how many problems you have solved, he will not be grateful to you and promote you. When you meet such a person, to be honest, it is the best choice to leave. However, Ashu Rufate, our little queen is not that kind of person. You saved her...didn't she be named you immediately?" Ajin noticed that there was something wrong in his words. "Ahu Rufate, I know that your title of Earl has no actual territory yet, but when this rebellion is quelled, I believe the little queen... she is a real queen..."

His voice stopped because Ashu Rufate made a gesture to stop him from continuing.

"Ajin, people can change." Ash Rufate replied.
