From the car's license plate, this vehicle was special.
Such vehicles were not for casual use by ordinary people; only those from the Grand Lord's Manor could use them. Even Paul was not qualified to use such a license plate.
Upon seeing the car, Jiang Yi smiled slightly.
Paul, however, frowned, unable to comprehend why someone from the Grand Lord's Manor would be here.
Although the Lesser Lord's Manor was under the jurisdiction of the Grand Lord's Manor, people from the latter would not typically come for minor matters.
Soon, the car stopped at the entrance.
As the car door opened, Grand Lord Barry stepped out. He scanned the crowd, his gaze finally settling on Jiang Yi.
"Why has Grand Lord Barry come?"
Paul muttered softly, his face etched with confusion.
Paul couldn't understand why Grand Lord Barry would come to this place!
"What are you all doing?"
Grand Lord Barry asked, frowning.
"Grand Lord Barry, you've arrived at the perfect time. This brat Jiang Yi is too arrogant. He actually attacked the Lesser Lord's Manor! This is blatant rebellion. Even if I kill him, it would be perfectly justified!"
"Since Grand Lord Barry is here, please be my witness!"
Paul said.
In Paul's opinion, Jiang Yi was doomed this time. With Grand Lord Barry as a witness, no one could help Jiang Yi.
Grand Lord Barry ignored Paul and focused his attention on Jiang Yi. "First, explain exactly what happened. Once you've clarified, I can help you resolve the issue!"
"Grand Lord Barry, we did not attack the Lesser Lord's Manor at all. Paul is deliberately framing us!"
"We came to the Lesser Lord's Manor to get a permit. As soon as we reached the entrance, the security guards attacked us. Naturally, we wouldn't just stand there and take it, so we beat up all those security guards!"
"What we didn't expect was that Paul would then falsely accuse us!"
Shen Lu said indignantly.
"Is that so?"
Grand Lord Barry looked at Paul.
"It's not like that. They were the ones who started it!"
Paul refused to accept responsibility.
Paul was not foolish. If he admitted it, he would have no way to kill Jiang Yi today, nor could he vent his anger.
"Enough, I don't want to listen to your nonsense!"
Grand Lord Barry said to Paul, "Let me tell you the truth. Prince Matthew already knows about this matter."
"Prince Matthew said that Jiang Yi is his physician and needs to treat him. Therefore, you cannot lay a hand on Jiang Yi. If you have any grievances, you can resolve them yourselves later!"
Paul was stunned upon hearing this!
Earlier, Paul had mocked Jiang Yi when he said Prince Matthew would help. He never expected it to be true.
He couldn't understand why Prince Matthew would care so much about Jiang Yi.
Even if Jiang Yi was Prince Matthew's physician, it shouldn't warrant such intervention.
"Withdraw these armored soldiers!"
Grand Lord Barry instructed Paul.
Paul was immensely unwilling, but he had no choice. These were Prince Matthew's orders, and he did not dare to disobey.
Disobeying a prince's command was a capital offense.
Paul could not bear such a grave crime.
"Get lost, all of you!"
Paul roared at the armored soldiers in anger.
Upon receiving the order, the armored soldiers withdrew.
"It's useless to be unhappy about this. Prince Matthew's word is law. Don't say it's you, even I wouldn't dare to defy Prince Matthew's command! Let alone you!"
Grand Lord Barry took a deep breath.
Paul could only suffer in silence.
"Jiang Yi, I didn't just come here to save your life!"
Grand Lord Barry said with a solemn expression. "Prince Matthew drank some wine last night, causing a significant portion of his skin to shed and become inflamed. Prince Matthew asked me to find you to treat him!"
"Prince Matthew's condition means he cannot drink alcohol. He's already this sick, yet he still thinks of drinking. Isn't that suicidal?"
Jiang Yi said speechlessly.
"Alright, stop dawdling and come with me!"
Grand Lord Barry said.
"I don't want to go!"
Jiang Yi replied.
"Why?"
Grand Lord Barry asked, frowning.
"I'm treating Prince Matthew, but his promise has not yet been fulfilled!"
Jiang Yi stated.
"Fine, you want to become a Lesser Lord? I'll make that decision! From now on, you are the Lesser Lord of this region!"
Grand Lord Barry declared.
Upon hearing this, Paul panicked and quickly said to Grand Lord Barry.
"Grand Lord Barry, isn't this joke a bit too much? If Jiang Yi becomes the Lesser Lord of this region, what will happen to me?"
"Exactly!"
Grand Lord Barry pondered for a moment, then said to Paul.
"How about this! You will be the Deputy Lesser Lord and assist Jiang Yi in managing this region. After all, Jiang Yi lacks experience as a Lesser Lord. With your assistance, I believe he can manage this region well!"
Paul was very frustrated but helpless!
He hadn't expected that not only would he fail to deal with Jiang Yi today, but he would also lose his position as Lesser Lord.
Furthermore, Paul knew very well that there was no such position as Deputy Lesser Lord. Even if there were, it would be a title without power.
He would have to work under Jiang Yi from now on, and life would certainly not be easy, as he had thoroughly offended Jiang Yi.
"Are you satisfied now?"
Grand Lord Barry asked.
"I guess so!"
Jiang Yi replied, then looked at Paul and said, "Let's proceed with the handover. As long as you don't cause trouble or make a fuss, I'll let you continue as Deputy Lesser Lord and won't do anything to you."
"But if you still harbor ill intentions, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Paul remained silent.
"Jiang Yi, the handover can be discussed after you've treated Prince Matthew. Even if you're in a hurry, it's not that urgent. There will be plenty of time later!"
Grand Lord Barry was impatient!
"No, the handover must be completed today, or I won't be at ease! Prince Matthew is a fickle person. If anything goes wrong, won't all my efforts be in vain!"
"In short, I must officially become the Lesser Lord today before I will treat Prince Matthew!" Jiang Yi said.
"Alright!"
Grand Lord Barry had no choice but to say to Paul, "Go inside and complete the handover with Jiang Yi. Hurry up and sort it out. If Prince Matthew doesn't see Jiang Yi within an hour, you'll be in big trouble!"
Upon hearing this, Paul could only lead Jiang Yi inside through the main entrance with a darkened expression.
With Grand Lord Barry supervising, Paul dared not play any tricks.
