Chapter 1236: Chapter 1236: Giving Gifts Chapter 1236: Chapter 1236: Giving Gifts “Lord Ridge!”

Seeing Nancy Ophelia, Larkin Weather jumped up from the ground as if he had seen a ghost.

At the same time, he did not forget to gently tap Julius Reed with his foot.

Privately, everyone called Nancy Ophelia and Oracio Martin Black and White Impermanence.

Only instead of claiming lives, these two claimed money.

“Larkin Weather, His Majesty wants to build a command platform for The North Sea at The North Sea. Are you slacking off here?” Nancy Ophelia arrived, leading several North Sea attendants, while wielding a long whip and swaggering forward.

“Lord Ridge, I just came back from Lord Ridge’s place, explaining the rules to the new brothers.”

Cold sweat poured down Larkin Weather’s forehead.

Being caught slacking off by Nancy Ophelia, he feared that a whipping was inevitable.

Sure enough.

Hearing this, Nancy Ophelia’s face turned ashen immediately.

He snorted softly, his right hand gripping the whip as he coldly looked at Larkin Weather, “Boy, it seems you’re itching for trouble! Do we still need to teach you the rules? The whip in my hand is the rule!”

With that, he stretched out the whip and swung it directly at Larkin Weather.

“Ah!”

Larkin Weather closed his eyes, bracing himself for the painful punishment.

But the whip did not arrive as expected.

When he opened his eyes, his legs went weak from fear!

He saw—

The young man he was just talking to had suddenly grabbed the whip in Nancy Ophelia’s hand!

Could this be?

He might be beaten to death!

“What are you trying to do?”

Nancy Ophelia narrowed his eyes, a murderous intent appearing!

Behind him, the North Sea attendants unsheathed their swords!

The atmosphere suddenly turned deadly!

“Lord Ridge, he’s new and doesn’t know the rules, you…”

“Nonsense! If he doesn’t know the rules, I’ll make sure he learns!”

Nancy Ophelia interrupted Larkin Weather, his lips curling slightly, “Boy, today Lord Ridge will teach you the rules.”

He tugged on the whip.

But Julius Reed did not let go.

“Hmm?”

Nancy Ophelia’s expression sank.

This was disrespectful!

“Slice him to death!”

His words had barely finished when the North Sea guards rushed forward.

Larkin Weather was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground.

“Wait!”

But just as the guards were about to strike, Nancy Ophelia quickly shouted to stop them.

He saw—

Julius Reed was holding a Luminous Pearl!

A large one!

At his shout, the guards quickly stepped aside.

“I am new here and unfamiliar with the rules, please forgive my ignorance,” Julius Reed handed over the Luminous Pearl, bowing slightly, “I’ve caused you trouble!”

“This…”

Nancy Ophelia’s eyes darted around, but he still accepted it.

What a catch!

As soon as it was in his hand, he knew it was extremely valuable!

Converted into foreign currency, a pearl like this was worth at least a few million.

The North Sea was wealthy, but all the wealth was held by Everton Davenport, the Left Minister, and the Right Minister.

Someone like Nancy Ophelia only made around a few hundred thousand in equivalent foreign currency per month.

Suddenly receiving a pearl worth a million, how could he not be pleased?

“Young man, what’s your surname?”

Nancy Ophelia weighed the Luminous Pearl in his hand, his brain quickly running through thoughts.

In the North Sea, anyone who could produce such a fine item was definitely no ordinary person!

Yet he had seen all the scions in the royal court, and none was this youth before him.

The Luminous Pearl was like a hot potato that left Nancy Ophelia somewhat at a loss.

To take it, or not?

Larkin Weather was also dumbfounded.

The youth had just given him a pearl, and now he was pulling out such a large Luminous Pearl?

“In my humble person who goes by the name Julius Reed, coincidentally, the person managing this place was seeking a son-in-law, and I perfectly fit the role by marrying into the family,” Julius Reed hurriedly dispelled Nancy Ophelia’s concern. “This is a small token of goodwill, and I hope for more of your care in the future.”

“Oh! A son-in-law who marries into the family!”

Upon hearing this, Nancy Ophelia quickly stuffed the Luminous Pearl into his bosom, eyes darting around.

There were many managers in the North Sea, and he considered himself one as well.

But one with a daughter…

He couldn’t remember at that moment.

Yet to dig too deeply into it would seem very impolite.

But one does not strike a smiling face.

Having access to such a treasure and the acquaintance of a promising young man, Nancy Ophelia felt quite content.

“Such a precious gift, I, your brother, am truly unworthy!”

He feigned embarrassment, “From now on in the North Sea, consider me your friend.”

“Just a small token of goodwill. Honestly, I am also a businessman outside. Such a Luminous Pearl, bestowed to a pillar of the North Sea like you, Lord Ridge, is an honor for the pearl.”

Julius Reed nodded with a smile. “Moreover, isn’t the joy of the wealthy found in their losses?”

“Young brother, your future is limitless!”

Nancy Ophelia cursed inwardly, but his mouth did not cease in compliments, “Go ahead then, you guys be busy. The North Sea Horse Master is hosting a grand ceremony here tomorrow, and I need to supervise the workers day and night.”

After speaking, he turned to Larkin Weather, “Take good care of this brother; if he feels even slightly uncomfortable, I will hold you accountable!”

Many well-known merchants outside have connections with the North Sea.

It seems, this young man before him is wealthy and marrying into the North Sea seeking to achieve something significant.

After all, when one has excessive money, it no longer satisfies desires.

“Yes, Lord Ridge!”

Larkin Weather was completely bewildered.

Just moments ago, things were tense, and now suddenly they were brotherly?

Perhaps, that’s the power of Cash Ability.

“Lord Ridge, honestly, I have another Luminous Pearl better in quality and bigger in size. I just didn’t bring it with me; I’ll send it to you this afternoon!”

Julius Reed held his fists in respect, admiringly spoke, “Being friends with Lord Ridge is truly an honor for me!”

“Oh my! For that, I am truly grateful, brother! Go ahead with your tasks; I’ll supervise the construction.”

Nancy Ophelia left with a smile from ear to ear, leading the North Sea guards away, feeling completely satisfied.

After he left, Julius Reed began to calculate in his heart how to stir the North Sea into a turmoil.

“Oracio Martin and Nancy Ophelia, what exactly is their relationship?”

He pulled Larkin Weather aside, looking worried, “If Oracio Martin were to find out about my befriending Nancy Ophelia, would that be considered taking sides with the Right Minister?”

“It would! Definitely!”

Larkin Weather nodded earnestly, advising, “Make sure not to broadcast it! If Oracio Martin finds out, we’re both in trouble!”

“Really? I am also a son-in-law who marries into the North Sea family. Doesn’t Oracio Martin have to show me some respect?”

Julius Reed thought, is the North Sea Horse Master so worthless?

Obviously, Larkin Weather didn’t even consider that to be a possibility.

“Do you think you’re the North Sea Horse Master?” Larkin Weather patted Julius Reed’s shoulder, “Brother, the waters of the North Sea are very deep! Now that you have Nancy Ophelia’s protection, at least you won’t be bullied.”

After speaking, he didn’t forget to remind, “Be absolutely sure not to let Oracio Martin know about this!”

“Okay!”

Julius Reed nodded, speaking out, “Larkin, could you discreetly call Oracio for me?”

“What are you trying to do!”

Larkin Weather frowned and said, “Don’t cause trouble for yourself!”

“I have some acquaintance with the son of the Left Minister, Bright King. Help me discreetly call Oracio, and let’s not let Nancy Ophelia see! That way, we offend neither side.”

Julius Reed pointed to a figure not far away, “Take advantage now that Nancy Ophelia is away and move quickly.”

“Alright!”

Those who take others’ hands are short.

Larkin Weather stomped his foot and quickly walked towards Oracio Martin.
