Living With My Lady Boss

Dubond and Fred were escorted to the grand hall by the guards. After waiting for a short while, Bruno Andrew strolled in, smiling from afar as he said, "Lord Dubond, it's been almost a month since we last met, hasn't it?"

Dubond looked at Bruno with a smile and replied, "Lord Bruno, I've been waiting for quite some time."

Bruno took Dubond by the hand, and the two walked up to the center of the hall. Bruno said, "I've heard that the Robert family has a new dragon clan cultivator, and even Fred couldn't defeat him. You've come here because of that, haven't you?"

"Indeed, I've come for exactly that reason."

"So, you want me to send someone to help you, to join forces and eliminate this dragon clan cultivator, correct?"

Dubond nodded and said, "Lord Bruno, do you remember our agreement? Back then, I promised you a million gold coins to drive the Robert family into a desperate situation. But now..."

Bruno suddenly interrupted Dubond, saying, "Lord Dubond, I already sent people to help you corner the Robert family. Layton even died today after suffering multiple injuries. Our deal was completed."

"But the Robert family has a new dragon clan cultivator. We can't just let this go!"

Bruno chuckled softly and said, "Lord Dubond, I didn't say I wouldn't help you. However, this is now a separate matter. I think you should make an offer. If I send my people to join yours and kill this Trevor, wiping out the Robert family, how much will you pay me?"noveldrama

Dubond had anticipated that Bruno would ask for money and extended five fingers, saying, "Five hundred thousand gold coins. Lord Bruno, these two matters are essentially the same, and I've already made concessions. I hope you can do the same."

"No, one million gold coins, not a coin less. Dubond, this Trevor is even harder to deal with than Layton. One million gold coins is already a concession on my part. After all, grooming a spirit curse cultivator isn't easy. Moreover, as I understand it, one of your talisman cultivators has already betrayed the Warren family. You only have Fred left as a talisman cultivator, and if you want to defeat Trevor, I can only send both of my Andrew family's spirit curse cultivators, Stilwell and Lawson. This time, the Andrew family will be putting in more effort. So, is one million gold coins really too much to ask?"

A cold gleam flashed in Bruno's eyes, though it quickly vanished. Dubond hurriedly bowed and said, "It's not too much. I'll deliver the one million gold coins right away, and I will personally go to the Robert family to fight Trevor."

"This time, I'll rely on you, Lord Bruno."

As he spoke, Dubond dropped to one knee. Bruno quickly lifted him off the ground, saying, "Stand up. The Andrew and Warren families have been allies for some time. Naturally, I'll help you this time. Rest assured."

"Thank you, Lord Bruno."

Bruno immediately summoned Stilwell and Lawson to the grand hall. The two cultivators bowed to Bruno, and Bruno then handed them over to Dubond.

Dubond's original plan was to wait until the next day, after the two families had discussed matters, to go together to the Robert family and kill Trevor. However, Dubond changed his mind and decided to take Stilwell, Lawson, and Fred directly to the Robert family.

On the way, Fred wanted to ask Dubond about his intentions, but Dubond silenced him with a look. Fred then suddenly realized that while the Warren and Andrew families appeared to be on good terms, in reality, they each had their own agendas and were mutually wary of each other.

Back in the grand hall, Bruno had exerted pressure on Dubond through his words, which was undoubtedly an attempt to dominate him. This also made Dubond acutely aware of the Warren family's potentially perilous future.
