At noon, Luo Wei and Alia arrived at Voss's house.
"Your... Highness, is there something you need?" Voss asked knowingly, looking at Luo Wei to understand what was going on.
But what Voss couldn't understand was why the esteemed Saintess would be following Luo Wei?
The Saintess of Light, known for her cold and arrogant personality, was rumored to either make men give up pursuing her or make them retreat in defeat.
But the current Alia bore no resemblance to the rumored Saintess. Instead, she looked just like an ordinary young girl beside Luo Wei.
"It's not me who is looking for you," Alia shook her head, and Luo Wei stepped forward to stand in front of her.
"Count Voss, I think it's time we talk about the issue of the debts owed earlier," Luo Wei said emotionlessly.
"Oh, nephew Luo Wei, you mean that matter. No rush, you can give me the house in a few days. After all, I didn't consider properly before. If I make you move out now, I'm afraid you won't have anywhere to go," Voss replied cautiously, no longer speaking as arrogantly as before, as he hadn't yet grasped the relationship between Luo Wei and the Saintess.
"You'd better not say these things to me, don't you have a clue whether or not the money should be returned?" Luo Wei had no intention of giving Voss any face.
This Voss was truly despicable--he could deceive even his longtime friend and cause ruin to his friend's family. Was there any need to show mercy to such a person?
"Nephew Luo Wei, that was something Marquis Aixinjueluo owed me from a bet. It's not appropriate for you to intervene, is it?" Voss frowned, realizing that Luo Wei was more straightforward than he had assumed, which deprived him of the chance to use a circuitous strategy.
"Heck! I know what you're thinking, but it's useless. Count Voss, let me ask you, is there a legitimate signed agreement between you and my foster father regarding that bet?" Luo Wei asked.
"Well..." Voss was at a loss for words.
"And is there a notary public involved?" Luo Wei continued.
"Well..." Voss, an experienced gambler, had used this to cheat countless people out of their money. How could he have left any evidence behind?
"There's actually nothing that can be used as proof. So how do you expect me to acknowledge this bet?" Luo Wei smiled.
Voss furrowed his brows in the shape of "㇏". "But it really was a bet between me and Marquis Aixinjueluo, and he's the rightful master of the Aixinjueluo family, right?"
"Tch, now it's just me left. Everyone else has fled. Who do you think is the master?" Luo Wei responded confidently. Almost done, it was time for the final move. Once this move was made, the other party was sure to turn hostile, bringing Luo Wei closer to his goal.
"Count Voss, spare me the nonsense. I'm not just going to give you the house, I also want you to return the money you took before, as well as the fief," said Luo Wei, unfazed.
Are you kidding? This is a country of law and order. Without proper procedures or evidence, what can you do?
Even illegal gambling was prohibited in this kingdom. If it were to go to court, Luo Wei wasn't afraid at all, but Voss on the other hand might face consequences.
"Nephew Luo Wei, are you really going to go this far?" Voss's tone carried a warning.
"Don't forget where we are," Voss said. "This is the realm of the Nikolai nobles, my own territory. Can I be bullied in my own home?"
Voss clapped his hands, and immediately there was commotion outside. If Voss wanted, he could have someone come and seize Luo Wei right away.At least that's what he thought.
"But it's just your own house, what's the matter, Count Vosberg, do you still want to make a move?" Luo Wei was not at all afraid, and even felt a little amused. The other party was stepping into his trap step by step.
"Viscount Luo Wei, you better obediently hand over the house to me, otherwise, don't blame me for using some violent means!"
"That belongs to me, not you. Are you planning to use violence? But it was you who made the first move."
"So what?"
Seeing Vosberg's appearance, Luo Wei laughed.
"Nephew Luo Wei, don't think that having the Holy Lady by your side makes you fearless. I also know a few people from the church. It's better for the Holy Lady...not to get involved."
This old man has gone crazy, he actually dares to warn the Holy Lady.
Luo Wei dug a pit for him, and now he not only jumped into it, but also dug it deeper himself.
Really.
LOL.
