" Young master, here."
" Ah, sorry." He took the cap and glasses that Nicole handed to him. He totally forgot about it. His snow white hair looked inconspicuous but with his disguise title, not many people would be able to recognize him.
" Are you trying to hide your face? Would this even work?" Delphina asked curiously. In her eye, a basic cap and glasses wouldn't be able to contain his handsome face.
" It will be fine. I have a talent for it." He didn't specify anything just smiled and walked alongside him.
Sharon was the one leading them. She was well known around here so there was no trouble at the gate but her associates wouldn't have the same luxury. It was only because Count specifically acquire permit for other three people that they were able to walk inside.
Still, everyone was looking curiously at the newcomers. Delphina had a mature charm about her, she didn't care much about them but Nicole the little beauty stood close to Samuel. He had no choice but to hold her shoulder and walk like they were a couple.
It might backfire because they would look at him twice but he didn't care much. He was only worried about Delphina's enemies finding out about them. Other two ladies wasn't dumb, they were susceptible to these minute changes so they walked more freely.
Sharon charmed the young nobles. As the viscount of France who lived in the city since her birth these people never saw her socializing much. It was good to see her around, as an eligible bachelor, she was never involved in any scandal so people had good impression of her.
One also had to consider that she had powerful parents, her circle of influence mostly covered young people, these old nobles were willing to make concession with her solely based on her own strength.
As for Delphina, the largest beneficiary of LVHM Group, her face was always plastered all over the city and magazine. Her status as princess of the Group was known to most people in the city. Despite her not having a noble title they couldn't underestimate the strength behind her.
Beside, the 'war' of succession was a widely known fact among the elites, since she appeared here, they were eager to see what she was up to!
It was inconceivable to think that it was their first time meeting face to face. Why would he feel this way toward a stranger? Who were Rothschilds? Even these french nobles never met anyone from that family, only someone with tremendous strength and power were worthy enough to meet them. Suddenly, he felt honored, extending his hand for a handshake.
It was instinct but he never expected him to to be gentle and not put off any air. He too took his hand as they shook hands like common man. He was happy in his heart to be recognized by the heir of the Rothschild family!
" Lord Prince, It's really a great honor tonight. I never expected to meet you here." He said with a bright smile on his face. Firstly he was happy to meet him but he also knew that his debt might really be paid off tonight. Why else would he be here if not to support the little princess of LVHM group?
All his suspicion and worries washed away seeing him. With him personally coming here, he could guess how much important the shares were in his hand. Personally, he was not optimistic about Delphina's prospect to lead the group.
There were many hidden dangers, even if she was competent there were many way for her to lose hope facing her father but with Samuel here, he seriously began to think that this succession war would be interesting.
" Come on, let's sit down and talk first." He gestured the waiter to bring few things for the guest. He didn't know the taste of these people so he ordered, different type of vintage wine and alcohol for them among them were one of the best vintage Cognac, Louis XIII.
" Count Hay, we can drink after finishing our deal. It would be good to celebrate with a glass of wine right? Let's talk about business first." Samuel said with a smile. It was getting late, he wanted to go back to Mayra and Kayla since they would be waiting for him. Beside, it would be right to strike the iron while it's hot, they didn't know if Alan wouldn't intervene before they finish.
" Alright, You must have already heard about my worries. I have been gathering resources for a day and the deadline in three days. I don't have much time to repay the debt." He paused and looked at their faces, he could tell they already did their research.
" When my grandfather acquire them, they were worth much. I know her and her brother are fighting for these shares so I want a fair price for them. This is the only way for me to gather ample money to pay my debts." He said his peace.
He didn't know if Samuel would pressure him to sell the shares for low price. After all his threats were very serious, serious enough to scare him and many noble families. He only wanted to use these shares to get rid of his debts.
There was a chance for him to offend Samuel. With the debt and a crazy enemy like Rothschild, he was stuck in a rock and a hard place. He didn't know how to say it but he didn't want to beg for it. He could only hope that these people would give him fair price! Thinking about the possibilities he began to sweat his ass off!
