Chapter 529 - 310: Marquis Reman: What the Hell, Is This Thor Dressrosa?
The noble families were suppressing their thoughts; after all, the power Thor Dressrosa exhibited at this moment was something they could not covet. However, despite suppressing the idea of acting against Thor Dressrosa, some powerful nobles turned their attention elsewhere, especially after the complete annihilation of the Campbell Family and Spencer Family.
But these matters had little to do with Thor.
This Kingdom War had already yielded substantial rewards for him.
Whether it was the Spencer Family or the Campbell Family, they were distant enough; he had no interest in intervening.
The only thing Thor did was dispatch a knight to Dressrosa Castle to inform his father.
To see if his father, Marquis Engel, had any interest.
His figure continued onward toward the Northern Province.
Two days later, he led the entire Knight Order across the border of the Frost Moon Province and arrived at the Northern Province.
Compared to before, at this moment, the junction between the Northern Province and Frost Moon Province no longer had Marquis Reman’s barricades, making everything indisputably smooth.
Ten days later.
Thor and his entourage arrived in Loren City.
However, just as they arrived in Loren City, Thor’s brows could not help but furrow.
Because compared to before, Loren City was now noticeably quieter.
On the streets, the nobility walking around seemed to have decreased by more than half since his memory of leaving.
"Go inquire what has happened."
Thor spoke, giving instructions to a knight beside him.
"Yes!"
The knight responded and quickly left.
About a quarter of an hour later, the knight returned.
"Sir, it appears that something happened to Marquis Reman. It’s said that Marquis Reman did not return during this Kingdom War."
The knight spoke respectfully, explaining what he had learned.
Upon hearing the knight’s explanation.
Thor couldn’t help but be stunned.
His mind involuntarily recalled the image of that burly man.
"Marquis Reman!"
Sighing softly, Thor couldn’t help but feel lament.
He was not familiar with Marquis Reman; they had only interacted during his enfeoffment as a Baron and Viscount, with interactions totaling at most five times.
Upon first arriving in the Northern Province, Thor was undoubtedly captivated by his legendary rise.
Marquis Reman was undoubtedly the most legendary figure in the Tulip Kingdom over the last thirty years.
From a mere descendant of a Viscount Clan, he rose through the ranks.
Becoming an idol for countless noble descendants.
Thor never expected such a swift end to that legend.
Moreover, it could be anticipated that with Marquis Reman’s fall, the decline of the entire Marquis Reman Family was almost inevitable.
Compared to other Marquis Families, the strength of the Marquis Reman Family was almost solely supported by Marquis Reman himself. Although they accumulated wealth through the Northern Province, crafting a near-monopoly before Thor emerged, this wealth did not completely transform into strength.
Marquis Reman’s Flying Eagle Knight Order was decent among Count’s Clans, but among Marquis Families, it was comparatively limited.
"Rest for a day, and prepare a gift for me; I will pay my respects to Marquis Reman!"
Thor sighed and then gave instructions to the knight beside him.
"Yes!"
The knight responded respectfully.
Subsequently, everyone entered the premises Thor had previously acquired.
Their arrival undeniably stirred the once-quiet Loren City.
Inside a magnificent estate.
At this moment, three individuals gathered in the meeting room.
These three were the legitimate sons of Marquis Reman.
"Flado, Boyyd, what should we do next?"
The leading middle-aged man spoke in a deep voice.
However, his words made the remaining two men fall into silence.
Almost a moment later.
The youth on the left softly sighed and spoke.
"Withdraw the power of our Habbs Commerce Association, let go of the Northern Province entirely; without father, we are no longer capable of fully managing the Northern Province, even half of it is challenging now."
Words spoken slowly.
"This!"
The young man on the left instinctively opened his mouth, but the words were swallowed before reaching his lips.
He understood acutely that his elder brother’s words were not wrong.
Having lost most of their power, controlling even half of the Northern Province was impossible.
Rather than being swallowed by others, it was better to abandon it directly.
At least it would minimize the Habbs Commerce Association’s losses.
Listening to his younger brother’s words, the leading middle-aged man appeared somewhat helpless, but ultimately could only nod.
However, as the three conversed.
A knight hurriedly reported before them.
"Thor Dressrosa!"
Upon hearing the knight’s report, the middle-aged man abruptly stood up.
His expression continuously shifted.
To be honest, initially, the Reman Clan did not take Thor Dressrosa too seriously.
But with Thor Dressrosa’s continual rise, conflicts inevitably arose between them, especially after the establishment of the Eagle Merchant Association, causing unavoidable impacts on the Habbs Commerce Association. People from the Marquis Reman Family generally did not favor Thor Dressrosa.
However, this perspective depended on circumstances.
When Marquis Reman was still around, they could afford not to be concerned.
After all, even though Thor’s power was formidable, the power of the Marquis Reman Family was no trivial matter.
And furthermore, they held the title of Marquis.
