Lukav took another glass of Red Moon as he asked Duncan, "Duncan, what do you think of the wines presented by Baron John? it was the first time that I was this surprised after drinking a glass of wine this good . "

Duncan looked at Ambassador Luke who was quite cheerful, "That's true the wines were quite good, to be honest . Meanwhile, from the looks of Ambassador Luke, it looks like he was able to achieve his goal this time around . So I am sure he offered something invaluable . "

Lukav replied, "My intuition says that this ballista is not everything that we are watching right now . While observing John previously it looked like he intentionally disclosed this weapon to get some benefits . Well, maybe I am only imagining things . As for Luke, he would only work for the interests of the Royal family . He is most likely happy that it didn't cost him much to complete the deal . My instincts say they will betray John later on however they would be in for a surprise . "

Duncan nodded as he gave his conclusions, "Though I am a person who mostly believes in evidence . However, from my experience, Lord's intuition has mostly been right so there may be there are some things that we don't know . Well, we are in for a show from the looks of Bishop Robert . "

Lukav rebuked and mocked them, "As long as they don't change their arrogant ways, no one would want to work with them . As for the show, the most they will do is intimidate him or his loved ones . You should know why they banned me and my men as I decreased the Morale of Radiant church whenever I caught their spies and assassins as I tortured them publicly . Those men would even renounce their faith in fear of getting castrated . The more humiliating part for them was us freeing their men after they renounced their faith . "

Duncan laughed as he remembered the past and sighed, "Hahaha, that was quite a funny affair years back . I guess it is our grudge with the current pope that we can never reconcile . I guess a lot of people will burn in Lord's vengeance including the pope . "

Duncan looked at Lukav's scary face as he decided to shut his mouth and keep quiet about the previous incident .

Duncan continued as he saw Bishop Robert heading to John's room with his scepter, "Well, as far as Bishop is concerned I don't think he will get anything even after meeting John personally . And after knowing John's personality I know one thing for sure, he won't abandon his men even if he is a slave after knowing the previous incident . "

Bishop Robert thought as he looked at Luke, 'From the looks of Luke, it seems he was able to get a deal with this Baron, it seems hard tactics won't work . Well, we can still change our plans and adapt accordingly . '

Bishop Robert entered the room as Taylor greeted him inside .

He shrugged him off as he sat without greeting John as he intended to intimidate him a bit .

Bishop Robert was a Bald man with an Average height, he had a big scepter in his hands and like all the Bishops he was covered in a luxurious White Gown . He had an air of Authority and Superiority around him that naturally made him stand out in front of others . He was a bit fat on the physique and wore a lot of accessories that looked like it boosted his magical powers .

John still didn't mind it as he greeted Bishop, "Greeting to Bishop Robert . I hope you are doing well . "

Bishop Robert took it as a sign of submission from John as he smirked and said, "I guess you still know your manners . "

John still smiled as he said with a firm and ruthless glint on his face as he kept holding Robert's hand tightly, "However I would like to say to you that I won't abide by your conditions if it involves me deserting my relations with Master Vlad and the other races or your interest in my Printing Techniques . "

This time John's smile resembled more like Vlad's smile that was quite scary to others who knew about his past deeds however it would seem Innocent to the ones who didn't know about him .

Bishop Robert sweated as he took back his hand and replied, "It seems you are quite different from what is said in the rumors . You have the eyes of a predator . Okay, we won't talk about your relations with those scummy demons, we will purely talk business, what do you say about providing printing services to the Radiant church, as we know that you intend to hoard the printing technology we won't ask for it, we will provide you more than the current market prices . We want you to print our bible in large quantities so that we can provide it to every head cleric of the Radiant Church and we want it printed on those new papers that your men created recently . And what if we can provide you more information on Prince Hector, then will you still consider our proposal?"

John thought and decided to play the waiting game, "Well it will only shorten some time compared to manual labor . are you still okay with that?"

Bishop was still satisfied as he agreed to John's proposal, "Well we only want a thousand books printed that we can provide it to all our men . Even if you can provide us with 100-120 books a month, we hope you finish it by two years . It takes a lot of money, time and resources if we do it manually or ask people in the capital to do it . The biggest problem is hiring people so We will provide you with money or other things as you won't have to worry . "

John seriously, "Well, what is the information that you have on Prince Hector . "

Bishop Robert laughed and handed over some documents to John, "Well from our sources, we know that one of Prince Hector's men was able to infiltrate Ron's workshop and was able to steal a part of blueprints of your soap making machines . I am sure that the spy has already escaped your borders . "

Bishop Robert grinned, "From your looks, it can be seen that you were conned by that scammer from Royal Family . Am I right?"

John looked at the documents and thought, 'It seems George was worried about the infiltrators that he might have encountered at his workshop and wanted to meet me previously, I guess today's meeting was still a bit late . Well, it was good that I took back the Blueprints of the Guns previously . Well, it is not a big matter as they still aren't in the possession of the full blueprints of the soapmaking machine or how to use it . '

John smiled and replied to Bishop Robert, "Happy cooperation, Lord Bishop . "

Bishop Robert grinned as thought about the conversation, 'I think I was at least able to make a crack between both the Royal family and this Baron . This meeting was still better than nothing, the royal family and this boy allying would be a nightmare for us . '

Bishop Robert left as he spoke these words, "This meeting was worthwhile, I hope to meet you again in the future if there is any business . "

Bishop Robert took out a token and gave it John before leaving, "You can always meet me at our Northern Headquarters at Dolores by showing this token . I am quite sure you will need our help in the future . Meanwhile, we also have a lot of information which we usually sell . I will be taking my leave now . "
