Chapter 485: Fawning Over Him

“Phew!”

Daniel watched as Watson and the 100,000-strong sea folks left. He slowly got up from the ground. Just a moment ago, he had kneeled on one knee to Watson and proposed to redo the trade plan. Watson discussed the details of the trade with him. In the end, they concluded that the Ptolemy family would sell the formula for the Dragon Transformation potion for him. However, Watson wanted 50 percent of the Ptolemy family’s future sales. He also wanted the Ptolemy family to arrange for the sea folks to be legal citizens in the floating city and cooperate with the sea folks to build an army.

Daniel tried hard to bargain, reducing Watson’s demand to 40 percent of their profit. At the same time, when helping Watson to build an army, the Ptolemy family had the right to take a part of it and turn it into their own army, and the commission he promised Watson on the gold-tier magic ship would be given to Watson together with the money for the Dragon Transformation potion.

At that moment, Daniel watched as Watson and the others left. His eyes flickered, and he remained silent for a long time.

Casey walked to his side and said, “Father, I was worried that you did not understand the benefits of bowing to Watson. You resolutely refused to obey Watson, and you lost the opportunity to gain benefits for nothing. Now it seems like you haven’t lost your mind, so I’m relieved. ”

When Daniel wanted to stop him from kneeling to Watson, Casey had been very anxious. He thought about persuading his father to agree with him, but unexpectedly, his father took the initiative to kneel before Watson.

He had always been useless, and he was said to be incompetent no matter what he did. As for befriending Watson, he was one step ahead of his father, which made him a little proud. After coming to the capital, not only had he become stronger, he had also become smarter.

“Casey, don’t speak now. My head is aching.”

Daniel turned around to look at Casey. When he saw the smug expression on Casey’s face, he frowned and reached out to rub the space between his brows.

“Father, what’s wrong? Why do you have a headache? Are you sick? Why don’t I find a healer to take a look at you? Or I can invite Watson back here. Watson has many novel things that can definitely cure your headache.”

“Casey, don’t you understand? My headache is because of you.”

“What’s wrong with me?”

Casey revealed a blank expression. Ever since Watson tormented him in the floating city, he had doubts about the young man. He had made up his mind that he would never oppose Watson in the future. At that time, he thought that he was quite cautious, and Daniel’s subsequent actions had also verified his guess.

No matter how tough Daniel was or how powerful the Ptolemy family was, it was nothing in front of Watson. As long as Watson waved his hand, he could make the Ptolemy family fall into despair. Watson could even make the entire floating city disappear.

“Casey, as expected, I have too much hope for you. As expected of a fool. Even if he has great power, he is only a fool.”

Daniel shook his head and sighed. “Do you think I don’t understand that Watson is very powerful? Do you not know the benefits of trading with Watson? But why didn’t I trade with Watson in the first place? Instead, I only proposed the idea after the arrival of 100,000 sea folks.”

“Yes, why?”

Casey was stunned for a moment and began to think. When Watson had arrived at the manor, Daniel could have proposed a deal with Watson. Even if his father had gotten angry with Gerant, it would not have affected the conversation between him and Watson. He knew that his father was a very shrewd person. He would never lose interest because of his emotions.

After thinking hard for a while, Casey’s eyes suddenly lit up. “I understand why you did that.”

“Oh?” Daniel looked a little surprised. “What do you understand? Tell me.”

“You saw the 100,000 sea folks. The floating city used to be our base. Now that those sea folks have Watson’s support, the floating city is very likely to be occupied by them in the future. In short, you are afraid of Watson.”

“I’m not afraid of him.”

Daniel slapped the top of Casey’s head, his lips trembling with anger.

Taking a deep breath, Daniel calmed his anger. He turned his head to look at Lana, who was holding a parasol and had been silent since the beginning. “Lana, it doesn’t matter if Casey doesn’t understand what I’m doing. You are smart, I know you’d understand. Tell Casey why I’m doing that.”

“Yes, Father.”

She respectfully agreed. Lana cleared her throat and said, “Father did not show any intimacy with Watson just now and instead was aggressive toward Watson because this is the royal city, the territory of King Landhar III. His Majesty hates people forming parties for personal gain. If he knew that the Ptolemy family had openly colluded with Watson for the sake of benefits, he would definitely be furious.”

“If that’s the case, why did Father choose to curry favor with Watson? He even knelt to Watson just now.” Casey looked puzzled.

To the Holy Dragon Kingdom’s noblemen, kneeling was the highest form of etiquette. Knights usually used it to swear their fealty to the other party.

“That is because Watson created a lake in the royal city. At the same time, he also summoned 100,000 sea folks. Father changed his mind then! Such a thing had happened within the borders of the royal city, but His Majesty did not make a single move. Clearly, he tacitly approved of Watson’s actions. After the gods’ battle in the sky, rumors had spread that two princes had died in battle, and Watson was chosen to be the next king. I don’t know if that is true. I think Father’s actions just now were to confirm the authenticity of that matter.”

First, he reprimanded Gerant, who had come from the border, and then he found an excuse to quarrel with Watson. In that way, even if King Landhar III found out about that matter, he would think that the Ptolemy family and Watson were not on good terms, and that would not arouse the King’s suspicion. Then, when he found out that Watson had unscrupulously summoned an army of sea folks in the royal city without anyone knowing about it, he decided to apologize and bow to Watson, obtaining the benefits that the Ptolemy family should have.

Whether the person in charge of the capital was King Landhar III or Watson, the Ptolemy family still had some leeway to deal with them.

“Not bad.”

Daniel was delighted with Lana’s explanation. He nodded in satisfaction and then glared at Casey. “Learn well from your sister. Even though your sister is not in good health, she’s a hundred times smarter than you! The Ptolemy family has a high position and power in the city. However, the King can destroy us with just a word. If you want to live a more stable life, you have to advance.”

“Yes, Father, I understand,” Casey replied unwillingly. Then, he muttered, “After explaining so much, isn’t it the same result? As long as you please Watson, everything will be fine. What’s the difference?”

Daniel looked as if he was disappointed. He shook his head, turned around, and walked quickly in the direction of the mansion.

“Father, where are you going?”

“I’m going back to the floating city. If I had known this would happen, I would not have come to the capital in the first place. You’re an idiot, and you’re really pissing me off.. I’d rather work hard for another 20 years than look forward to your success.”
