Chapter 765 Snake Syndicate (3)

I hesitated for a second, but eventually I stood up and followed the head out of this office.

It wasn't as if there was anything for me to do if I were to stay in this office, so it was better to go along and see what they were up to.

The head led me out of this office and to another room that was near the center of the manor.

I found that the office that we were in before was an office that was at the edge of the manor. The one that we had just come to was one that was right in the center, near the entrance of the manor.

It was clear that this office was the main office of this manor.

Once we were here, the head suddenly stopped right outside of the door of this office and stood there.

The way that he acted was just like how the other black clothed figures had acted previously.

The way that he was acting, it was clear that he was the subordinate of whoever was inside this room.

It was surprising to see that he was willing to act as a subordinate, but I could already guess who was inside the room because of this. But at the same time, I couldn't help being even more surprised since I never thought that person would come himself.

Perhaps it was just a proxy of that person?

After he stopped, the head opened the door for me and turned around to say, "He's waiting for you inside."

With the door open, I was able to see who it was that was waiting there for me.

It was exactly who I thought it was...

Sitting there at that desk was Duke Yuletide, but I couldn't help being surprised by the fact that it really was him.

I never thought that someone like him would do something like this.

The way that he said this was just like before.

It was clear that he wasn't giving me any choice in the matter.

It was either sit down or I would be taken out right away.

So I sat down in front of him and just narrowed my eyes to look at Duke Yuletide, as if I was trying to figure out what he was up to. Though in reality, there wasn't much for me to figure out since I could already guess what he was thinking.

The only thing that I really wanted to know was where he got this confidence from that he wouldn't fail.

After all, if he didn't have this confidence, there was no way that he would have shown himself to me like this.

What was giving him this kind of confidence?

Seeing that I didn't say anything, Duke Yuletide didn't seem to mind as he said, "I'm sure that you wouldn't want to waste any time, so I'll be straight with you. I want to take over this kingdom and I need your help to do it."

I narrowed my eyes even more after hearing this.

Duke Yuletide didn't seem to mind this at all as he just waited to see how I would respond.

After a long silence, I asked, "Why are you doing all of this?"

Duke Yuletide revealed a smile as he said, "It's all because of the royal family. They were the ones that robbed my family of everything that we were supposed to have."

It was like a dam had been released once he started talking about this.

Duke Yuletide started complaining about all the things that the royal family had 'done' to his family, even though it was clear that some of these things were nothing more than his delusions.

But from this, I could tell that the reason he was talking to me in the first place was because...

He felt a sense of resonance with me.
