In an instant, Viscount Gio understood the true purpose of Earl Hudson. Unfortunately, he really didn't have the authority to handle such things.
Thinking about it made him feel aggrieved. Despite being wronged himself, he had to swallow his pride and apologise. Not only that, he also had to work for his enemies and help them achieve their goals as much as possible.
"Please rest assured, Your Excellency. Our sincerity will undoubtedly not disappoint you," Gio, gritting his teeth, promised.
No matter what the final outcome, he needed to appease Hudson first. Otherwise, if the matter escalated, it would be impossible to cover it up.
When the conversation reached this point, Hudson stopped pushing and pressuring. It was easy to escalate a situation, but other than offending people, it wouldn't benefit him at all.
Cleaning out the Moxi Duchy of its rot was a thankless task. Any state with hundreds of years of history inevitably harbored rotten elements within.
