Chapter 1013 Business

"Take you... to Pendragon?" Falk's tone was full of doubt.

"Yes." Enli nodded, "Don't worry, I won't let you do unpaid labor."

"After successfully sending the two of us back to Pendragon, we will give you a reward of 10 million British francs."

As soon as Enli finished speaking, the seven guards standing next to Falk and the rest of the caravan standing behind Falk took a breath of cold air.

10 million British francs - this money is not a small amount for them.

Their destination is Avon City in Delands County. Avon City is very close to Pendragon. If you want to walk back and forth between the two cities, it only takes a few days.

In other words, if they take Enli and the other two on a ride, their caravan will just be on the way.

Taking two people to Pendragon on the way can get 10 million British francs - this business is indeed quite good.

Many people in this caravan have been staring at Falk with eager eyes, expecting Falk to nod in agreement.

However, Falk did not show joy like them after hearing the figure of 10 million, nor did he nod in agreement in a hurry.

The expression on Falk's face remained serious from beginning to end.

Or rather, he remained solemn.

After hearing Enli's huge reward of "10 million British francs", the solemnity on Falk's face became even stronger.

After a moment of silence, Falk asked Enli:

"Mr. Enli, please forgive me for being frank - I am a businessman, and businessmen have one thing in common, that is, they never believe in verbal promises."

"I know." As soon as Falk finished speaking, Enli nodded, "I am the son of a businessman, so I also know that verbal promises are the most useless promises."

After that, Enli took off a ring on the middle finger of his left hand and handed it to Falk.

"This ring is worth 2 million British francs, which is considered a deposit."

"After you successfully send us back to Pendragon, this ring will not only be given to you, but I will also fulfill my promise to you just now and give you a cash reward of 10 million British francs."

When Enli said this, the guards and other personnel of the caravan looked at Falk even more enthusiastically.

Giving a ring worth 2 million British francs, plus a cash reward of 10 million British francs - as long as they can send Enli and the little girl back to Pendragon, the reward they get is as high as 12 million!

Almost everyone was looking forward to Falk nodding quickly.

However - the expression on Falk's face remained solemn.

He did not take the ring that Enli handed over.

Seeing that Falk was unwilling to take his ring, Enli raised his eyebrows slightly.

Enli, who thought that Falk suspected that his ring was a fake, asked Falk:

"Mr. Falk, do you doubt that my ring is not worth 2 million British francs?"

"No." As soon as Enli finished speaking, Falk immediately shook his head,

"I am a jeweler, so I can see at a glance that your ring is indeed a rare treasure, and it is definitely worth 2 million British francs."

"But--"

Falk suddenly changed the subject.

"I'm sorry, I can't give you a ride."

When Falk said this, Falk's caravan companions were all surprised.

Falk did not surprise his companions for too long. He immediately told them the reason why he rejected Enli:

"Mr. Enli, please forgive me for being frank. In my eyes, you and the little girl beside you are two suspicious people."

"The blood stains on your armor and the wounds on your body make me feel uneasy."

"The reward you offer is indeed very tempting."

"But I have to be responsible for my caravan companions. I don't want to let two suspicious people follow my caravan and put my companions in avoidable danger for a sum of money."

Falk rejected Enli with some sharp words and tone.

Enli listened to Falk's words quietly.

Falk's words were slightly sharp in wording and tone, but Enli was not angry.

He was not discouraged either.

Because he had long expected that Falk would most likely reject his business.

So he had already prepared a backup plan.

"Mr. Falk." After a short silence, Enli said, "Can you please go with me to a secluded place? I have something important to talk to you about in private."

"Important? Can't I say it here?" Falk asked back.

Enli shook his head:

"No, what I'm going to say to you is very important, and I can only say it to you alone."

"..." Falk pondered for a while, then nodded, "Okay then."

Seeing that Falk actually agreed to talk to Enli in private, the seven guards standing beside Falk immediately cast worried eyes at Falk.

A middle-aged man who seemed to be the boss of the seven guards said to Falk urgently:

"Mr. Falk! Is it too dangerous for you to go alone with this guy? Please let us go with you!"

"Didn't you hear what Mr. Enli said just now?" Falk retorted unhappily, "What he wanted to say to me is very important, and he can only say it to me. If you follow, Mr. Enli will not be able to say it to me?"

"Don't worry, I believe Mr. Enli really just wants to say something very private and important to me, and he won't do anything to me."

After that, Falk turned his eyes back to Enli in front of him.

"Mr. Enli, let's go." Falk raised his hand and pointed to his left, "Not far away over there, there is a dense bush. Let's talk there. If we talk there, our conversation will definitely not be heard here."

"Yeah." Enli nodded, "Okay, let's go."

After that, Enli took Ilsa's hand and walked in the direction Falk just pointed.

"Yeah?" Falk raised his eyebrows, "Do you still want to take this little girl with you?"

"Yes." Enli didn't say much, just a short "yes" to answer Falk's question just now.

And Falk didn't think much about it.

Seeing that Enli seemed unwilling to discuss this little girl, Falk stopped talking and followed Enli obediently, walking with Enli towards the bushes he had just pointed out.

After the three of them entered the bushes some distance away from Falk's caravan camp, Enli began to look around to check if anyone was following them.

After confirming that no one was following them and there were only three of them here, Enli said to Falk with a serious face.

"Mr. Falk."

"You may feel shocked by what I'm going to say next, but please stay calm anyway."

"At the same time, please believe me, every word I say next is true, not a single word is false."

After that, Enli made a "please" gesture to the little girl next to him, that is, Ilsa.

"This is the 13th Emperor of our Britannia Empire, Her Majesty Ilsa Augustus."
