Chapter 50 Disputes within the Lawrence Family

"Mr. Schubert, as agreed, we have already transported the weapons and equipment to the Lawrence clan territory through your Lawrence family's convoy. Almost all the people have arrived. Isn't it time for you to tell me the time for the operation?"

"A few days ago, our Fatui's base hidden under a ruin was discovered and even activated the self-destruct mode to blow it up. Recently, several members of the transport convoy also disappeared."

"Although it has been confirmed that it was not done by the Knights of Favonius, I am worried that the Knights of Favonius will discover something unexpected if time passes."

In a dark and secluded secret room in the Lawrence clan's territory, a debt collector from the Fatui was talking to a middle-aged man in luxurious clothes. Facing the debt collector's suggestions, the middle-aged man's face was full of disdain.

"Humph, your opponents are just those ignorant knights of the Knights Templar. If this can be exposed, the cooperation between our Lawrence family and the Fatui will come to an end."

The debt collector was very upset by the arrogance of the middle-aged man in front of him, but for the sake of the task assigned by the lady, the debt collector still resisted the urge to kill the guy in front of him and agreed in a flattering tone.

"Mr. Schubert is right. As long as you give the order, Mond will be in the hands of your Lawrence family. I just want to see this day sooner."

"Let the ordinary people of Mondstadt bask in the glory of the Lawrence family as soon as possible. It is also an honor for us Fatui to participate in such a great plan."

Damn it, since he became the squadron leader, he has only been so flattering to his boss, the lady. How dare you, a down-and-out nobleman, talk to him like that? Wait, when the lady's plan succeeds, the last value of your Lawrence family will disappear. By then, hehe.

A hint of hidden cruelty flashed in the debt collector's eyes. For the lady's plan, he, a captain of the Fatui, pretended to be a grandson in front of this useless noble for several days. If the plan succeeded, he would definitely make sure that the Lawrence family would be wiped out.

Just as he was thinking about how to torture Schubert, who had been looking down on him, after the deed was accomplished, a painful wail interrupted the debt collector's thoughts.

Could it be that their plan was discovered? He was startled and looked at Schubert beside him. He could guarantee that the people of the Fatui had not been exposed, but the idiots of the Lawrence family were not certain.

Hearing the wailing outside getting louder and louder, the debt collector quietly took out the short blade hidden on his body. If he was really discovered by the Knights, then his grandson's pretense these days would not be in vain. He was sure that he could send this idiot from the Lawrence family to see their God of Wind before the Knights killed him.

"Uncle, I know you and the Fatui are in there. Come out, we should have a good talk."

In the secret room, Schubert's face looked a little ugly. He glared at the debt collector beside him. The proud Schubert did not think that his family had been exposed.

In his opinion, there was a problem with this plan that was supposed to be kept secret from Eula, which led to Eula being able to find this place and seemingly knowing something. It must be that the idiots from the Fatui were exposed. If it weren't for the fact that the Fatui were still of some use, he would have eliminated the Fatui from the plan long ago.

The door of the secret room was opened, and Schubert slowly walked out of the secret room. Eula stood outside the door of the secret room and stared at the Fatui debt collectors coming out of the secret room. Outside the door of the secret room, the guards who were on guard around fell to the ground and wailed.

"Eula Lawrence, do you want to show me your martial arts? Is this how you learn the noble etiquette I taught you?"

After glancing at the guards lying on the ground, Schubert kicked away the guard who was blocking him with an expressionless face, walked straight to Eula and began to question her.

Facing such a strong Schubert, Eula's eyes subconsciously dodged a little. Schubert's aristocratic education over the years made Eula never stand in front of Schubert so boldly.

"Go back and reflect on yourself. Without my order, you are not allowed to set foot outside the Lawrence family." Schubert felt helpless and disappointed with Eula. Eula was obviously the most outstanding member of the Lawrence family in recent generations and the only member who passed the Lawrence family trial. However, she had no sense of identification with the Lawrence family and instead joined the family's mortal enemy, the Knights of Favonius. This has given Schubert a headache to this day.

"Uncle, do you really want to cooperate with the Fatui?"

There was a hint of questioning in the cold voice. Although she had guessed the truth, Eula still didn't believe that her uncle would really betray Mond. She longed for an answer, longed to get the real answer from her uncle, the answer that her uncle would tell her personally.

"This is none of your business, Eula. Go back and reflect on yourself. After you reflect on yourself, Mondstadt will once again be ruled by the great Lawrence family, and you, Eula Lawrence, will most likely become the next king of Mondstadt after me."

Schubert did not answer Eula's question directly, but what he said had already let Eula know the answer. Eula finally believed the fact at this time that the Lawrence family was really preparing to rebel at this time.

What should she do? Eula stood there, facing an extremely difficult choice: should she help the Knights or choose to follow her uncle's arrangement?
For a moment, Eula's thoughts were in great confusion. Seeing that Eula had stopped moving, the debt collector hiding in the dark also lost interest. However, neither the debt collector nor Schubert noticed that Eula's eyes became firm in just a few seconds, and the sacrificial sword that was shining coldly under the candlelight was tightly held in her hand.

There was a sound of breaking air, and the debt collector was startled and subconsciously tilted his head. The sharp tip of the sacrificial sword flew past the debt collector's head, and a few strands of hair slowly fell off. The debt collector was frightened and broke into a cold sweat. If he had reacted a little slower, he would have gone to see the Queen.

"Eula, what are you doing!?"

Schubert was startled by the sudden change. When he saw Eula attacking the debt collector, Schubert became furious instantly. Although he was also thinking about waiting for Lawrence's rebellion to succeed and then killing the Fatui, if he killed them now, those stupid Knights of Favonius would have to be dealt with by their own people.

"Uncle, I can't let you sink deeper into the wrong path. Your thoughts will push the Lawrence family to destruction!"

"Destruction? Eula, a thousand years ago, our Lawrence clan was looked up to by countless Mond people. They were in awe of us. But now, a mere pariah dares to draw a sword against us. All I want is to take back the lost glory of the Lawrence clan."

"And you, Eula Lawrence, you have the blood of the Lawrence family flowing in your body, you should obey the will of the family!"

Schubert's face had a slightly ferocious expression. He had been brainwashed by the word "aristocrat" for too long, even to the point where it was deeply ingrained. His obsession with restoring the glory of the Lawrence family was far from being shaken by the taciturn Eula.

"Uncle, that's enough. From the past to now, when have I ever followed the will of the family?"

"You, you traitor!"

Schubert was almost pissed off by Eula's words. He couldn't understand why the life he had planned for Eula had been completely messed up since Eula passed the family trial and obtained the Eye of God. He had planned it so well.

"Uncle, I am the one who should be angry. You are a member of the Lawrence family, but you want to do something that harms Mond!"

"You, are you teaching me a lesson?"
