Mage Veigar

Chapter 421 Seeking Skin from a Tiger
the next day.

Vega bought a mansion for Aiden Gary in the Stone City specifically for Aiden to hide his mistress.

Things are going very smoothly.

Under the dual temptation of Vega's money and beauty, Aiden has been deeply intoxicated by the gentle land of pleasure. In order to prevent Aiden's novelty from quickly fading away, Vega also bought several beautiful prostitutes.

So on the fifth day.

Just when Aiden was having fun, Vega appeared in this mansion.

"General, it's been a long time since we last met. How have you been?"

Vega bowed and put on a friendly smile, looking like a businessman who makes money by being friendly.

"Well...I'm fine lately."

Unlike Vega's calmness, Aiden could only smile awkwardly, with a hint of panic in his smile.

This was only natural. Recently, he had been eating and using Vega's things, and even sleeping with the women Vega gave him. If there was no Vega, wouldn't he have to go back to the life of blackmailing underground casinos and bullying civilians with a few lackeys for a few gold coins?

What's the point of extorting those gold coins?

He couldn't afford expensive things, and he didn't even look at cheap things. Even if he had enough gold coins, he wouldn't dare buy the woman he liked. He even had to let the staff officer Orlando interfere in his private life in the name of his uncle.

He no longer wants to experience that kind of life a second time.

Therefore, when Vega appeared in front of him, Aiden instinctively began to get scared. He was afraid that Vega would take back everything he had now.

At this time he began to desire power extremely.

If he had the power of command, even if the dwarf in front of him had a few more courage, he would never be able to take what he had. But unfortunately, not only did he not have the power of command, even his guards could not defeat him.

He has discovered that he seems unable to keep everything that he has now.

"Excuse me, General."

The thing Aiden feared the most finally happened. In his ears, Vega's voice was extremely terrifying: "Have you completed the order? If so, please give me the commission agreement and deposit, and I will let my workers start production. Of course, I will give you 30% of the deposit as a token of my sincerity."

goo-dong-

Aiden swallowed and said with a vague look in his eyes: "It's a small matter, it's just a small matter. I will go back and let the logistics director contact you. You can go back and wait with peace of mind."

"Oh?"

Veigar showed his frosty white teeth. "General, let's be frank. I have just secretly learned the secret information of our competitor. It seems that the command of the 25 troops in the Stone City does not belong to you. In other words, you are not capable of winning this order for me. It seems that our cooperation will end today."

Made a please gesture.

Vega still said kindly: "Although it may be a bit presumptuous, please leave here, General. I am a businessman, not a philanthropist. You are unable to fight for my interests, so I have no obligation to reward you. I have prepared this gift for your advisor, Mr. Orlando."

"Orlando! Orlando again!"

Aiden finally couldn't help but burst out: "Look carefully, I am a lieutenant general, I am the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and Orlando is just a small colonel staff officer. He just took advantage of his uncle's support and forcibly seized the command!"

"I see."

Vega looked as if he had suddenly realized something, and then asked in a questioning tone: "I don't understand. The general's talent is more than ten times that of the staff officer. Why do you tolerate him to monopolize power? Is it just because of the order of your uncle, Admiral Feilie?" Aiden lowered his head dejectedly.

Vega struck while the iron was hot and said, "You are a lieutenant general and the legitimate commander-in-chief of the three armies. I don't think you need to be constrained by a small staff officer. I suggest that you take back the command, pacify the lower reaches in a short period of time, and make some achievements. I believe that your uncle, Admiral Felix, will not only not blame you, but will also look at you with new eyes."

After hearing what Vega said, Aiden felt a little moved.

Aiden moved his lips and said in a voice so quiet that only he could hear it: "But if we fail..."

Vega heard this and said with an incredulous expression: "The enemy is just a mob. I heard that the commander is less than 13 meters tall and only 13 years old. You can't be defeated by a -year-old child, right?"

Gritting his teeth, Aiden seemed to have made up his mind.

He showed a crazy look and said, "Your Excellency is right. Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk. I have had enough of this kind of life. Even a small staff officer dares to ride on my head. What I lack is just an opportunity to show my ability."

"The general is wise."

"But please help me, sir."

Aiden asked in a pleading tone, "How can I get the command back? There is absolutely no way that Orlando will obediently hand over the command just because of my few words."

"General, don't you understand?"

Veigar spoke the coldest words in the calmest tone: "The dead... cannot command an army."

goo-dong-

Aiden swallowed again, and said with some fear: "It's not good to rashly kill a staff officer. What if my uncle blames me..."

"Truth is established by the victors."

Vega was like a demon from hell, whispering in Aiden's ear: "After you take control of the command, immediately order the army to launch a frontal attack on the enemy. As long as you can pacify the downstream before Admiral Ferre Gary receives the news that you killed the staff officer and took back the command without authorization, then it will be clear who is right and who is wrong. Even if General Ferre wants to blame you, there is no reason."

"Thank you for your guidance, Excellency."

Aiden seemed to see a bright future, so he asked again: "Don't bother two masters with one thing. Excuse me, sir, how can I kill the staff officer Orlando? If this fails, the consequences will be disastrous."

“Hahaha, isn’t this easy?”

After laughing, Vega said, "General, you only need to invite this staff officer to the banquet and take the opportunity to poison his food. How could he have thought that you would do something to him? Then you can fabricate evidence of his treason and easily silence the entire army. Don't forget that you are the real commander-in-chief, and a dead man cannot exonerate himself."

"Brilliant! Really brilliant."

Aiden clapped his hands excitedly and said, "I will ask my men to invite the staff officer Orlando to the banquet. When I take control of the military power, all the orders of our army will be handed over to you to thank you for your kindness in teaching me."

"Everyone takes what he needs."

In order to reassure Aiden, Vega also put on an angry expression and said, "To be honest, that damned staff officer really didn't know what was good for him. Not only did he not take my things, but he also insisted on giving the order to my opponent. It's no wonder we were so ruthless."

"Sir, please calm down. There is no need to be angry with a dying person. Hahahaha."

Vega's words made Aiden completely put aside the last bit of doubt, and even made him comfort Vega with a smug look on his face. At the same time, Aiden was also glad that Orlando did not agree to Vega's conditions, otherwise he would have nothing to do now.
