Chapter 120

After a while, Roland returned to his senses .

He opened the webpages of other countries and realized that no matter what language it was, he could read it .

However, when he saw the characters of an ancient civilization, he realized that it was a mess that he could not understand at all .

Roland returned to his senses and leaned back against his chair . He decided not to reveal the fact that he could translate words in real life . He could imagine that once this was discovered by others, he would be in trouble .

1Right now, he was the only one who could do so . He wanted to make sure this was the case for as long as possible .

However, he suddenly frowned because there was a reply almost immediately .

“Is Roland able to translate the words on the forum in-the game? Doesn’t that mean that Roland can translate all the languages on the forum?”

1“Wow, blind student, you’ve discovered something new again . ”

“This reasoning is very logical . @Roland, come out and say something or try out the websites of other countries . ”

Holy sh*t… Roland felt his head hurt . These silly netizens played dumb when they should be smart, but could be abnormally intelligent when they were supposed to be idiots .

2He sighed softly and closed the webpage, his attention returning to the game world .

Vivian brought the two children up . Seeing his reaction, Vivian asked, “Deputy Chairman, what’s wrong?”

“Nothing . It’s just some personal matters . ”

Oh! Vivian didn’t ask further . She nudged the two children forward and said, “These two kids are called Kendis and Nancy . They are both illiterate . ”

Roland was stunned for a moment . He looked at the two skinny children . He originally imagined that they were two little boys, but he did not expect one of them to be a girl .

“Then teach them how to read and write . As a spellcaster, being illiterate won’t do . ” Roland thought for a while and continued, “According to the rules, you need to charge a fee to teach others language . You can collect two gold coins as additional payment later . ”

“All right . ” Vivian narrowed her eyes with a smile . To her, two gold coins was already quite a large sum .

“Then I’ll take them down first . ” Vivian asked, “Is there anything else that you want to eat, Deputy Chairman? Or is there anything you want to eat now?”

“Not yet . ”

Vivian chuckled before leaving with the two children .

He looked at the sky outside before heading to John’s place .

Hawk, Link, and Jett were already waiting at the door .

“Sorry, I seem to be late,” Roland said as he walked over .

The other three shook their heads . Hawk said, “It’s nothing . We just arrived a few minutes ago . ”

The three people opposite them were all wearing the common clothes of ordinary people in this world, but because their auras were different from the locals, they looked a little out of place . It was just that their extremely high temperament made up for this problem .

After studying for more than ten years, and with them having a gamer mindset, even if they didn’t have money or power, they constantly had a faint arrogance .

Moreover, these four were still elites among the players .

The four of them were brought into the castle by the guards .

In a place like a castle, military defense was more important . Thus, there were rocks, rocks, and more rocks everywhere . There was nothing worth looking at .

The butler appeared and greeted the four before leading them into the main hall on the first floor .

The long table was covered in delicacies and wine bottles .

John sat at the head of the table . When he saw the four, he stood up . “It’s not easy to invite the four of you here . ”

1Previously, John had invited everyone, but none of them came .

Later on, he suddenly realized that the Golden Sons had their own thoughts and seemed to have seen through his plans . Thus, he decided to invite all four of them over .

In the end, all four of them came .

How united .

If us nobles could be this united… John shook his head slightly . It was impossible .

The four found their own seats and sat down . Roland said, “Previously, everyone had some matters to attend to, so we couldn’t accept your invitation . ”

The other three nodded . Before they came, they had already come to an agreement . Roland was to deal with the noble scion .

John was, after all, a person who had received an elite aristocratic education . With one look, he knew that he had to abandon one of his plans . He suppressed the unhappiness in his heart and smiled . “Everyone, have some food and drink . Since it’s a banquet, you have to eat and drink merrily . ”

1The four of them did not move .

Roland said, “Sir, most of us Golden Sons are very straightforward people . Since you invited us here, why not be frank about it? If we can accept it, we’ll discuss it carefully . If we can’t accept it, we’ll just leave . Otherwise, we don’t have the mood to eat anything . ”

John felt a headache coming on . He ordered this sumptuous spread to win them over . Furthermore, many people became relatively “loose” with their words when drunk . When that happened, things became relatively easy, be it in terms of raising conditions or gleaning information . This was also a common strategy for nobles .

1However, he did not expect that these Golden Sons wouldn’t fall for it at all .

John felt a little pressured when he saw the four gazes zero in on him . He kept silent for a while and then said, “In that case, I’ll be honest about it . I have two goals for inviting the four of you here . ”

The four of them quietly looked at him .

“I wonder if my family can be involved with the new pier of Mr . Hawk and Mr . Link?”

As expected… Hawk and Link exchanged glances .

Roland said, “I don’t think it’s required . . In this territory, all organizations and factions that are involved in commercial activities have to pay taxes to your family . Can’t you just collect more taxes?”

Hawk and Link wanted to build a new pier and build a fishing company themselves . Then, the extra dock space would be rented out to be used by others .

Delpon was a big city and there were many people who traveled by sea . As long as the matter was successful, they would receive a lot of money every month .

Moreover, such a transport dock was a very good place for intelligence gathering . For such an important location, Hawk naturally wanted his Silver Wings Guild to have complete control over it .

If the mayor wanted to be involved, they would definitely have to be apprehensive in carrying out their plans . It would be extremely inconvenient and meaningless .

Therefore, Roland felt that there was no problem with paying more taxes .

John glanced at Roland before looking at Hawk . “I never expected Mr . Roland to also be one of the leaders of the pier?”

Such words seemed crafted to sow discord .

It was obvious that Hawk wouldn’t fall for it . He smiled and said, “I’m quite stupid . I don’t know much about negotiation, so I usually leave such matters to the professionals to handle . ”

The other three laughed softly .

John’s mood became more depressed . These Golden Sons were excessively cunning . They just didn’t fall for any traps .

Furthermore, it seemed like there was no way to force them .

Two Golden Sons were enough to wipe out a family . Now that there were two more spellcasters, John didn’t dare to rage in front of the four of them .

How exasperating . John had never felt so aggrieved before .
