System: Build My Own Territory-Chapter 520 - 213: Redeeming the Emperor Potato (10,000)
"Don’t worry, the single room you’re staying in can always be reserved for you!"
Upon hearing this, Yasmin frowned slightly, hesitating a bit, she said, "Mr. Krueger, even though my father and your father are close friends."
"Staying at Frank Manor Castle temporarily is not a big deal."
"But staying long-term... I’m unmarried, you’re unmarried, it isn’t quite proper."
Krueger nodded in agreement, "Miss Yasmin is right, I was thinking too simply."
Yasmin’s tone suddenly changed, "However, I do have a way to make my stay at Frank Manor Castle reasonable!"
Krueger looked at Yasmin in puzzlement, and asked, "What way?" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
Yasmin showed a hopeful smile, "That is... you marry me!"
"In this way, it wouldn’t matter how long I want to stay in your room or about anything else."
Krueger remained silent, falling into contemplation.
Seeing Krueger’s expression, the hopeful smile from Yasmin vanished instantly, replaced by coldness.
She snorted coldly, "I knew you just wanted to play with me, never thought about marriage!"
"I get it! You despise me for once being a married woman?"
As she spoke.
Yasmin’s arms, previously entwined around Krueger’s, quickly withdrew, and she sat upright beside him.
Feeling the softness fade from his arm, Krueger sighed helplessly.
"Miss Yasmin, you’ve misunderstood me."
"How could I, Krueger, be a heartless person?"
With her arms crossed in front, Yasmin turned her head, her wide-open eyes gazing through the car window at the night outside.
Seeing this, Krueger extended his right hand and placed it on Yasmin’s fair, voluptuous thigh.
He spoke with full of melancholy, "Miss Yasmin, please listen to my explanation, Eduardo is dead, you know!"
"However, it was far more than just being intercepted and assassinated by the Iron Blood Brotherhood Bandit Corps, it’s not that simple..."
Upon hearing this.
Feigning indifference, Yasmin slightly turned her head away.
Seeing the words having an effect, Krueger continued, "Miss Yasmin, the Frank Clan is caught in a power struggle!"
"Our father, Jonas Frank, is old and frail, this is an undeniable fact!"
"In more than five years or as soon as three years, the position of Frank Manor Lord will see a change."
"Before it’s determined who will inherit as the new Frank Manor Lord, any adult male of the Frank Clan could become the new Manor Lord!"
Yasmin’s gaze turned towards Krueger.
She didn’t speak, awaiting Krueger’s continued explanation.
Krueger continued, "But at this crucial moment, Eduardo, as Jonas’ fourth son, died!"
"Miss Yasmin, what do you think it’s for?"
Yasmin, grasping the meaning in Krueger’s words, hesitated hardly at all.
"Someone wants to become the Frank Manor Lord, eliminating rivals!"
Krueger gave Yasmin an approving glance, "You’re right, Miss Yasmin."
"The Iron Blood Brotherhood members vanished before the Ducas Clan’s Sword and Shield Corps soldiers arrived!"
"And after the Sword and Shield Corps soldiers left, they remained unheard from for a long time."
"The Iron Blood Brotherhood Bandit Corps, absent for such a long time, suddenly appeared in Morgan Town and bizarrely intercepted Eduardo heading for Kakasong City."
"Even a fool could understand such an affair—it’s absolutely not that simple!"
Yasmin nodded in agreement, not interrupting Krueger.
"Up to now, neither I nor the entire Frank Clan have figured out the exact cause."
Krueger’s words shifted, "If we were to get engaged now and bring you into the Frank Clan, it wouldn’t be fair to you."
"Because, I dare not assure you absolute safety..."
Seeing Krueger’s sorrowful face, the coldness on Yasmin’s face softened, feeling a pang of compassion.
She moved slightly, once again opening her arms to embrace Krueger’s right arm, filled with gentle inquiry.
"Mr. Krueger, how... how can I help you?"
Krueger smiled faintly, and said, "As long as Miss Yasmin can understand and accept me, it’ll be good enough!"
Listening to Krueger’s words, Yasmin seemed deep in thought.
Soon, something came to her mind.
Her head, still resting against Krueger’s arm, began to slowly move down, ending up against Krueger’s abdomen...
After a rustling movement, Krueger’s brows raised instantly.
Krueger’s right hand rested on the back of Yasmin’s head, speaking slowly.
"Miss Yasmin, besides this, I need your father’s help!"
"If he’s willing to support me to become the new Frank Manor Lord, I, Krueger, will definitely support your father to become the Chamber of Commerce President of Kakasong City!"
Yasmin remained silent.
Krueger, without minding in the slightest, leaned tightly against the leather seat at the back, enjoying the comfortable sway brought by the moving carriage.
Breath, breath, breath~
Krueger naturally knew that his good brother, Eduardo’s death, was far from simple.
But just like he said.
Whether it’s him or other members of the Franger Clan, no matter how they investigate, they can’t uncover the cause of Eduardo’s death.
