THE WORLD DEVELOPMENT SYSTEM

chapter 71's

Joseph thought about his quarrel with his grandfather who opposed him permanently taking the position because he thought it would be suicide if John did not succeed in the northern border Town and he put all the eggs in one basket, he said, however, Joseph felt he would be late if he made the decision too late. He was still happy that his father supported his decision, but he was also against making the initial decision.

*** 

Discussions of Joseph and Frank a few days ago,

Frank seriously said, “You're really aware that if you move there too early, you'll take an early stance and all your interests will be aligned with John permanently, John said, even though he is your friend you should take rational decisions when it comes to your future. If he falls then you will fall too, at least wait until the passing of this winter disaster and then make a decision. You should already know that this winter of the year is really the eye of the storm in the northern border city where many people from the north will be involved and he will most likely be isolated by the ruler in there because most of them were allied with Prince Hector.

Even I, as your father would not advise you to take big risks and early positions. While you may think that Vlad will help her, you don't know what she's thinking all the time, at some point she might smile at you as she stabs you in the back. He has always been a strange character, we only have business interests with him at the moment and instead of a closely intertwined relationship, it would be best to wait and understand them a little and make your bet. “

Joseph said to Frank, “I think I need to take an early position or we will always remain a business partner and not someone who can trust each other when it comes to sensitive issues whether it is John or Vlad. After thinking a lot, I have made my decision as this will show my sincerity to them. The country will be at war in no less than 15 years when all the princes are vying for the throne with each other and no one knows what the madman Lukav might do if he chooses to participate in this spit between the Dukes and the Prince. We have no connection to Prince Felix. Our only supporters are Marquis Ray and the Duke of Southern Forest. I prefer to trust John who can be great, and if he succeeds then I will also succeed. “

Frank sighed and said to him, “Because you have made a decision, I hope you do not regret it in the future.” 

Frank smiled and continued, “After all, I will be fair to all of you brothers, but your Grandfather will be quite Crazy. Well, don't worry about him, he's always been like that. This could be the best and worst decision for you. “

Joseph smiled and said to Frank, “Don't you have taught me that risk and profit are always linked to each other whether you are doing business or other endeavors? And I really feel that my close friendship with John will help in the future, unlike the fake ones. And this decision of mine will further strengthen our trust and express sincerity from my side. ”

Frank nodded as he thought and said,” Since you have made a decision, I will accept it, the same is also for you Father when we, brothers take our own decisions, however, You must be prepared for the conspiracy of your brothers and cousins, this is happening even to this day. Anyway, I will give the same advice to your brothers as well. “

Frank feels nostalgic and sad when he remembers how one of his brothers died from his sword in the past due to competition and power struggles. Whether it was his death or the death of his brother and in the end, he chose the latter. 

“I hope this doesn't end with a bloody massacre, however, I can't control everything. Maybe you thought the same thing when I made my decision years ago. “Frank thought with annoyance when he saw that Joseph had made a decision.

Joseph also understood the meaning behind Frank's last words and said to him when he left, “Yes father, goodbye, be careful.”

Back to John's house,

John said to the people present at the meeting, “Oke since the police and militias have been formed, we will soon announce the establishment of the police force with our new legislation and the creation of a court to resolve civil disputes as soon as we are ready . “

If there is a conflict of interest and a dispute with them then take the matter directly to Taylor who will later tell me and I will try to resolve the issue. We will also establish a military court with Military legislation for soldiers and Ghosts. “

While Tornwall thought otherwise with what people thought and said, “A good enough choice to make his first knight to serve this position. Experience can be had but the person you trust is hard to come by. I think it would be better for the future considering Jake is too young. “

Many think and understand why John chose Jake for this position, Jake has already sworn to John while both are sensible Vlad disciples as to why he would make this decision.

***

Jake is to the east of the present imperial city, where he carries out a mission handed to him by Vlad, initially Vlad is given this mission by one of his clients, which he thinks Jake can handle. This was also one of the tests Vlad had given him so that he could evaluate his performance.

Jake was in a bar in the city of Redwood east to the imperial city, the city was a transit center for people and merchants from the southeast to the center of the kingdom for trade and migration. The city was also a haven for the slave trade as the Royal family usually did their business from nearby towns or through their accomplices when it came to the slave trade. Here Jake's mission is to kill a mercenary who goes by the name of Blacktiger.

Jake is careful when asking people questions, he already had most of the information regarding the Blacktiger from Vlad but what he did not know was that he had a little bit of misinformation that Vlad had deliberately given him. Vlad wanted to teach him this lesson to never blindly trust anyone whether it's a friend or an enemy when it comes to important missions and doing your own research.

He's been here in Redwood city for a few days. This is a city that is always full of people. Jake gets acquainted with the bar owner in these days when he's here.

As usual Jake drinks at the bar again today and searches for the Blacktiger mentioned in the information provided by Vlad.

The owner of the bar today decided to ask Jake when he saw him a few days already looking for someone, “I've seen that you've been looking for someone in this bar for a few days every time you come here for a drink. I don't know if I can help, You can ask me if you want any kind of information. ”

Jake understood and took out a few gold coins and placed them in front of the table, he finally felt that the wait was worth it, while he smiled a little and asked, He said, “I am looking for a man with a black tiger tattoo on his face and he is wearing the name of a black tiger.”

It seems the bar owner knows him and asks about Jake's purpose here, ” What business do you have with him? “

Jake smiled as he guessed, “I only pay for the information here, not the other way around and from your expression, it looks like you know a lot about him.”

As soon as he hears Jake, he can feel a dangerous vibe coming from Jake if he lies to him.he understands that this is a dangerous man if he wants to fool around and cheat him.

The owner of the bar hesitated a bit but then saw Jake's cold glint and decided to tell him the truth, “We can't talk about it here, either, we need a quiet place because he has a lot of eyes and ears around this city.”

Jake beckons to him and the two of them go to a room in the back, Jake carefully examines the neighborhood and room before entering it.

The owner of the bar said after he saw him enter, “Nah, that guy Black Tiger usually comes to our bar and many of his men are mostly present here because they treat him as their base of operations. You were lucky enough that you waited patiently for a few days before curiosity took hold of me and you met me. You don't look like a local, I consider you here for the same as everyone before who came here. I can tell you that all of the people who came before finally died, do you still want more information? “
