Living With My Lady Boss by Blue Silver novel Chapter 2762

Yet what Conrad did not know was that the real Lord Babbit of the Reyne family had died, and the current Babbit was just a clone of Edmund.

Conrad had pledged his loyalty to Edmund but did not know any of Edmund's secrets. The honest truth was that Edmund hardly saw Conrad as a loyal servant either. Someone so happily willing to abandon their ally in a battle could not be trusted.

Edmund was only accepting of Conrad because he felt Conrad could be used. Conrad's biggest wish was to battle Babbit one day and then take over his power.

To Conrad, doing so would raise his status and even make him more powerful than the City Lord of Babbit, but such a plan was practically laughable to Edmund. It was simply impossible.

Why would Edmund make an enemy out of himself? However, that could become a tactic to control Conrad. Edmund had not fully recovered yet, and he had been stoking the flames between Wilbur and Dalton to get rid of Wilbur.

With the state Wilbur was in, there was no way he would be any match for Dalton. The Dragon Slayer Organization would come looking for Edmund eventually, and he might not be able to hold his own against them alone. However, teaming up with Conrad might buy him some time.

After all, three months was not really that long of a time. Once the three months were over, Edmund would still be the City Lord of Buck Town and have complete control, while Wilbur would be dead.

Felix stopped in his tracks, turning around to look at Wilbur and Augheimer. "Change your appearance now. We'll return to the Chris family grounds, and we don't want to attract any unwanted attention."
