Chapter 400: An Arrogant Attitude

The old butler invited Kant and the others into the office. The bright candlesticks had already been lit, and the burning candles carried a faint fragrance.

Kant swept his gaze across the room. The candles burning in this reception hall were probably high-quality honey wax purchased in the Silver Platter Kingdom. Even the Lion Fort was using a lesser number of this candle, but there were already 36 candles lit on the first floor of this office.

The entire floor was brightly lit, as if it was daytime.

At the same time, it also revealed the luxury of this place.

Yes, the place looked very grand.

Furniture made of all kinds of precious wood was elegantly placed on the top floor.

The surrounding walls were also painted with paint, which had some religious style. If Kant remembered correctly, it should have originated from the traditional myth of the Dukedom of Leo, the magnificent life of the god of war, Edmund.

Including the silver products and handicrafts on the cabinets, they were all extremely exquisite.

There were also potted plants and flowers piled up in the corners and exquisite oil paintings hanging on the walls.

The decoration and furnishing here was so luxurious that it was not inferior to the high-ranking nobles’ houses in the South County.

The North County could not even be compared to it. Just this office hall alone was on par with the lord of the Northern County, Viscount Wayne’s hall!

The difference might only be in size, but as a businessman, such an office could be considered as a manifestation of strength.

The old butler was also quite proud of this.

He came to the hall.

He extended his hand and said respectfully to Kant, “Sit here as you please. Mr. Kant, the room is already prepared. You can go and rest at any time. Of course, you must be hungry along the way. We have also prepared desserts.”

“Well prepared.” Kant smiled.

“That’s right.” the old butler smiled. “Very well prepared.”

As if he could not see Kant and the ten Lion Knights behind him, he turned around and clapped his hands.

“Clap, clap.”

The sound of clapping could be heard.

And the small door at the side opened gently.

Maidservants dressed in maid attire came out with silver plates.

They were obviously well-trained. They lined up in a long line and walked briskly to Kant and the others. They placed the silver plates on the long table in the middle, opened the lid, and respectfully retreated to a side, waiting quietly.

Looking at the 11 plates of food on the long table, Kant raised his eyebrows slightly. “Cream cake.”

“That’s right, it’s the cream cake of the Silver Platter Kingdom.”

The old butler smiled and introduced, “It’s made of fine, high-grade flour, mixed with eggs and cheese, sugar and fruit juice.” After a pause, the old butler raised his eyebrows and said, “A cream cake is worth 1 great silver coin.”

“What an expensive ingredient.” Kant sat on the main seat and took a bite with his knife and fork.

The soft and sweet mixture spread out.

A gentle fragrance spread in his mouth.

It was indeed delicious.

He couldn’t help but nod and also praised, “This is very good.”

“You flatter me.” the old butler also had a smile on his face. In his opinion, Kant’s praise was an acknowledgment, an acknowledgement to his employer, Mr. Borg.

After all, this kind of food was rarely seen even in the South County. Even some noble families had never eaten it before. It was an extremely precious ingredient.

If it weren’t for the fact that a large merchant from the Silver Platter Kingdom had come this week and sent a box to them, it would be difficult to have a taste of it!

However, this was also part of his and Mr. Borg’s plan.

He wanted to make Mr. Kant retreat in the face of difficulties and understand who held the initiative now.

He also smiled as he looked at the ten guards who were wearing linen robes, clothes that only ordinary civilians would wear, he then said, “Then, do these guards think that the cream cake is not to their taste? You can try it too. It tastes very good. After eating it for the first time, you will fall in love with this soft texture.”

“Oh, they have never eaten this kind of thing. In fact, I have eaten less. Relatively speaking, the ale and roast meat are more popular with them,” Kant explained.

“I see.” the old butler’s eyes were filled with contempt.

Of course, he didn’t understand Kant’s true identity, and Borg didn’t tell him.

As he ate the cake with a silver fork, Kant said to the Lion Knights, “Enjoy as much as you like. This cream cake is really good and tastes very good. It’s even better than ordinary desserts.”

“Yes.”

Only then did the Lion Knights lower their heads and start to enjoy the cake.

However, this exquisite cream cake was only the size of a palm. After a few bites, they had already finished it up.

The old butler and the maids around them felt that it was a pity for them to swallow the cake in such rude manner. In fact, even with their status, they would not be able to eat this kind of thing. But now, it was gobbled up by these guards. It was simply like sending heaven’s gift away.

Kant ate more elegantly. After all, he had lived a noble life for 16 years.

He was a well-deserved top-class noble.

He finished eating.

He put down his knife and fork.

Kant looked at the old butler who was waiting with a smile on his face and said calmly, “Why isn’t Borg here yet? I don’t have much time. If he is ready, it would be best if he came to see me.”

“Uh...” the old butler was slightly stunned. Obviously, he did not expect Kant to ask so impolitely.

It was as if he was the owner of this place.

How rude. The old butler cursed in his heart.

However, his excellent profession made him react quickly. He adjusted his state of mind and said with a smile, “Mr. Kant, perhaps you have misunderstood. Mr. Borg is not free tonight to see you. The agreed time is tomorrow noon.”

“Tomorrow noon.” Kant raised his eyebrows. “But I won’t have time then.”

The old butler was not afraid. “That’s a pity.” the smile on his face disappeared, instead, he said with a warning tone, “Mr. Kant, you should know that the banquet Mr. Borg is going to attend tonight is a banquet organized by the port governor-general. It is not the kind of banquet that any businessman can attend.”

“Oh, it’s of a very high standard.” Kant nodded.

But he still looked at the old butler and asked calmly, “Then why is Borg not coming to see me now?”

He knocked on the table, wiped the corner of his mouth with a towel, crossed his legs and sat on the soft velvet cushion. He asked impolitely, “Isn’t Borg still in the law firm? Now let him see me.”

“Unreasonable.” the old butler’s patience finally ran out.

He looked a little angry, but he still suppressed his emotions and said, “Mr. Kant, this is the headquarters of Borg Chamber of Commerce. Not everyone can be presumptuous.” He paused, he said in a deep voice, “Perhaps you helped Mr. Borg when he was down and out, but this is not a reason to threaten Mr. Borg!”

“No, I didn’t threaten Borg.” Kant revealed a playful smile. He looked at the old butler’s angry wrinkles and shook his head helplessly. “Does Borg not want to come out?”

“If you want to see him.” the old butler’s face was gloomy.

He slowly clapped his hands and said in a low voice, “Come out and meet your old friend!”

The small door next to him opened again.

However, it was not the maids who came out.

Instead, it was ten strong figures who walked out quickly. They were wearing high-class clothes made of velvet. The clothes were fit to their body and there was graceful and luxurious symbol on the clothes. There were also silver threads interspersed in the collar and cuffs.

If one looked carefully, one could still see the iron plates under the luxurious clothes.

It was the Sarrandian chain mail, Sarrandian boots and Sarrandian gloves.

There should have been a Sarrandian helmet, a round shield on the back, a lance in hand, and a sword at the waist. Of course, there was also a Sarrandian horse.

“Mr. Kant.” the old butler smiled. “I think you know these ten knights.”

“Of course.” Kant nodded.

These people were the Level 4 cavalry, Sarrandian Horsemen of Sarrand Sultanate.

Kant had lent them to Borg as bodyguards. How could he forget them? How could he not know?

“Now they are Mr. Borg’s most loyal followers. Once, when they were surrounded by water bandits on the merchant ship, they risked their lives to save Mr. Borg. For this, they also gained Mr. Borg’s friendship.”

The old Butler smiled. “Now, each of them has a merchant ship.”

“Oh.”, Kant raised his eyebrows. “This is a big deal.”

“Of course.” the old butler did not see the panic on Kant’s face.

He narrowed his eyes slightly. He was a little annoyed, but he still said, “Mr. Kant, I think that they have never enjoyed such courtesy when they were under you, don’t you think so?”

“That’s right. They don’t even have extra warhorse.” Kant said honestly.

“But they are very happy here.”

The corner of the old butler’s mouth curled up. “Moreover, they have a new helper.”

Turning his head slightly, the old butler looked inside the room and said in a slightly respectful voice, “Mr. Cheshire, perhaps it’s time for you to appear. I don’t know if I’ve disturbed your rest.”

An arrogant voice came from the room. “Heh, he’s just a small noble. What’s there to be afraid of?”

At the same time, a burly figure walked out.

He casually wore a cloak made of expensive velvet and a short sword at his waist.

He looked like a middle-aged man with a scar on his face. He swept his gaze over Kant and the ten Lion Knights in linen robes who were still sitting in their original spots and chuckled. “Just these trashes? Do you want me to personally take action?”

As he said that, he reached out his hand and a bone-chilling wind appeared.

Ice-type extraordinary power.

He was a grand knight!

“Of course not. I’m just giving them an introduction. After all, it’s not easy to meet a great grand knight, let alone you, Mr. Cheshire. You’re an invincible existence on the battlefield.”

The old butler’s tone was even more flattering.

The grand knight named Cheshire was very pleased by his words.

However, his attitude was still arrogant. He coldly swept his gaze over Kant and then swept his gaze over the ten Sarleon Lion Knights who had restrained their auras, he said faintly, “That’s all. I’m still busy. Since you know existence, now you guys can get lost. Stay away from the Borg Chamber of Commerce in the future. This world is very big. Don’t think that you’re so great.”

“Oh, is that so?”

But Kant was still calm. “Let Borg come to see me as soon as you’re done. I already told you, I don’t have much time.”
